26、   How do you usually spend your spare time? Many people choose to be couch (沙发) potatoes, but not Luo Han, a 9-year-old from Changsha, Hunan. Luo Han completes at least two hours of outdoor activities every day and has raised a weave of (一波) discussion online. Although he is in primary school, he has already mastered sports like kayaking (皮划艇) and paddling (划桨). His aptitude (才能) for outdoor sports is due to his father Luo Ge, who actively encourages him to enjoy nature, rather than focusing only on his learning. After noticing that Luo Han did not go out for enough exercise after school, his father took him to do outdoor activities every day.

“Exercise can ease brain fog (脑疲劳) and improve memory. Many students feel stressed about school work, so outdoor activities can help us keep our moods uplifted and improve our learning efficiency (效率),” said Liu Yu, 18, a university freshman.

However, some have also expressed their concerns.

“Two hours isn’t too much for a 9-year-old, but it might be difficult for high school students to guarantee (确保) the time when school becomes more demanding,” said Huang Xi, 16, from Liyang High School of Jiangsu Province.

Ms Zhu, who has a daughter in middle school, also agreed that two hours is too much for the majority of parents, especially on weekdays. “When I am off duty, I need to do housework. After my daughter finishes her homework, she prefers to watch TV. Neither of us would think of going outside for exercise,” Zhu said.

Other parents are concerned about the safety of outdoor activities. Zhang Zhijin has a son in high school. “Sometimes, teenagers can do crazy and risky things. We worry about accidents,” Zhang said.

【1】What news about Luo Han has caused online discussion?

A.His talent for outdoor sports.

B.The way he gets along with his father.

C.Daily time he spends on outdoor activities.

A.Easy. B.Difficult. C.Efficient. D.Risky.

【4】What does Ms Zhu’s example tell us?

B.Most parents can’t afford to spend two hours outdoors on weekdays.

C.Most parents are worried about the safety of outdoor activities.

D.Parents should care more about their children's learning.

28、It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little frightened on the first day of school because of all the new thing: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.

Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often read classroom rules and school rules to you so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.

You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t know. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friends!

Seeing friends you haven’t seen for some time can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll need. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably mean?

A．Start.

B．Study.

C．Find.

D．Teach.

【2】What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about?

A．What to know about a new school.

B．How to well prepare for a new school.

C．What to wear on your first day of school.

D．How to spend your days of school.

【3】What will you NOT usually do in the following things on the first day of school according to the passage?

A．Introduce yourself.

B．Learn about the school rules.

C．Make new friends.

D．Go over your new lessons.

B．Sad.

C．Excited.

D．Worried.

29、Fahad Azad, an engineer in India, invented a robot named DuctBot. The toy-car sized DuctBot measured 23 centimeters in length, 19 centimeters in width and 9 centimeters in height and weighed just two kilograms.

The robot is designed to snake through dark, narrow air conditioning ducts(管道) and clean them. A pair of LEDs fitted on the robot light up the dirty scenery, so it can be captured(抓拍) by a camera.

In order to control it more easily, Mr. Azad chooses to fix DuctBot on wheels. The robot can clean off lots of dirt, as well as dead pigeons and insects. Keeping indoor air in good quality and monitoring carbon-dioxide levels in buildings with central air conditioning is a challenge. It is important in some places where clean air can mean a difference between life and death, such as hospitals. Dirty air has a bad influence on peopled health.

EPSCO, a Dubai-based company which specializes in improving indoor air quality, read about Mr. Azad’s invention in a national newspaper after he had won an international robotics competition. EPSCO had cleaning equipment, but it needed someone to get into those ducts to do the dirty, dangerous work. Across India, for example, the task still falls to children. They are small enough to go through those ducts.

In 2005, Mr. Azad who was still at university decided to do something about it. Six years later his own company, Robosoft Systems, has Bluestar, EPSCO and the Indian Navy, some leading air condition makers, as partners.

Mr. Azad and his ten employees are currently exploring robot designs to examine oil tanks or sewage(污水) pipes. Their biggest challenge is to make the robots user-friendly enough. Mr. Azad hopes that the robot could eventually be operated not by engineers but by workers. There will be lots of difficulties they need to overcome in the future.

【1】What can we learn about DuctBot?

A．It is small and light.

B．It is a toy car and popular with children.

C．It specializes in improving indoor air quality.

D．It is actually a camera to capture dirty scenery.

【2】Why did Fahad Azad invent DuctBot?

A．To make money.

B．To light up the dirty scenery.

C．To monitor carbon-dioxide levels in buildings.

D．To snake through air conditioning ducts and clean them.

【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．EPSCO.

B．The LEDs.

C．DuctBot.

D．The duct.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards DuctBot?

A．Critical.

B．Objective.

C．Doubtful.

D．Unconcerned.

30、Steph Clemence had good grades and always intended to go to college. But her poor family couldn’t _______ it. Steph had to find a job and tried to figure out what to do with a life that was greatly different from her plan.

The answer came one afternoon when she was cleaning her bookshelf. Inside a box she _______ two pages titled “Mrs, Clark’s Book List” from the English teacher in her high school, Dorothy Clark. “She’d spent months creating a list of 153 books,” says Steph. “She knew most of us would not go to college, but we could continue to learn. She was _______ about that.”

Steph was _______ and determined to improve herself. So it began in 1970. Starting at the top, she read every book in the order they appeared. People around her didn’t find much _______ in her journey, as some of the books were hard going. But she felt _______. Each of those books inspired her to learn more about the world.

Now Steph is 70 and she never did get to college. But she has only four books left to read from the list. She expects to _______ them sometime in 2023. “I don’t race through a book, as I want to fully _______ it. Each of the books has added something to who I am and how I see the world,” she says. “I’m no expert, but I am working for my own _______. I now have the background to see how the world works.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为90左右。

“Hey! Are you a girl or a duck?” I ignored (忽视) the comments because I knew they were from the mean girl, Betsy. I ran to my class, causing my slight limp (跛行) to become even more apparent. Already, I could see that things would be different here. At my old school, I had a group of friends to protect me. However, in this new school, I was on my own. I was grateful for alphabetic (字母的) seating. My last name came at the beginning of the alphabet and Betsy’s last name came at the end. As the weeks went on, though, I made friends with two girls named Fran and Lisa who sat near me in class. Whenever Betsy made one of her remarks, they would wave it aside and tell me to ignore her.

One day, our teacher asked us to change seats to make some new friends. As she assigned the new seating, Fran, Lisa, and I looked at each other and waited for our names to be called. We didn’t want to be separated. And we especially didn’t want to sit anywhere near Betsy. Finally, Betsy sat directly behind me.

I knew this wasn’t going to be good. Betsy often leaned forward and said: “Quack, quack!” When I ignored her, she kicked my seat. This went on daily until one morning I simply refused to go to school. I told Mum what had happened at school.

My mother sat me down and began to talk.
