26、   The morning of March 2, 2012, was a busy one for the students in Mrs. Goodknight’s class in Henryville, Indiana. There was morning meeting with poems to read, jokes to share, and tests to prepare for. “It was just an ordinary day,” says student Lyric Darling, 12.

At noon, while students played basketball under a sunny sky, a huge tornado (龙卷风) was forming 50 miles away. Around 2:25 p.m., 20 minutes before school was supposed to let out, a huge tornado touched down in Fredericksburg, 20 miles away. As word spread, parents rushed to the school. Teachers rushed to get kids onto buses or into waiting cars. By 2:45, the skies were darkening.

“I was crying,” says Lyric. “All around me, kids were crying.” Two buses returned to the school with students whose parents had not been home. Teachers brought the kids to the office, where they all took cover under desks. Suddenly the power went out. And then the tornado attacked the school, filled with wood and trees and glass. The tornado was over the school for less than one minute. In that time, it almost completely destroyed the school. Teachers were about to lead the group out of the office when a second tornado was upon them. When it finally ended, the group made its way out of the building.

Over the next few hours, parents arrived, overjoyed to find their children. The next day, it was clear: All of Henryville’s people were safe.

There were so many sad and frightening stories. Some students saw the tornado with their own eyes. Some lost their homes. But many described how the community (社区) came together to help and support each other. “You learn what’s important,” Mrs. Goodknight says.

28、   A shark that walks in water instead of swimming might sound like a creature straight out of science fiction. However, that is precisely how the fish -- found in the waters of Northern Australia moves across the seafloor .The unique ocean animals were discovered by a team of scientists led by Dr. Christine Dudgeon from Australia's University of Queensland during a 12 year global conservation study.

The newly-found sharks have evolved (进化) to survive in low oxygen environments, enabling them to hunt during low tides. The researchers believe their ability to use their fins (鳍) to walk affords the sharks a remarkable edge over the smaller animals they try to bunt. “While they are super hunters in their shallow habitat, the tiny sharks present no threat to people," says Dudgeon.“At less than a meter long on average, they're incredibly cute little animals that do not look like sharks at all," she adds.

A DNA analysis of skin samples from the live fish suggests that walking sharks broke away from their original population and became a distinct species about nine million years ago. Though that may appear to be a long time ago, it is relatively recent given that sharks have been around for more than 400 million years. In fact, Dudgeon and her team believe walking sharks are the youngest kind of sharks on Earth!

The researchers say that the sharks' small numbers and small habitat make them extremely vulnerable (易受伤害) to natural disasters and overfishing. They are currently on the Nature Red List, which lists species at risk. Dudgeon and her team believe sensible conservation management plans are urgently needed to protect the walking sharks and other endangered animals from further threats.

【1】What is the most noticeable feature of the newly-found sharks?

A．They are cute and harmless to humans.

B．They can survive in their shallow habitat.

C．They walk on their fins across the seafloor.

D．They are the youngest kind of sharks on Earth.

【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The evolution of the shark.

B．The behavior of the sharks.

C．The population of the sharks.

D．The DNA samples of the sharks.

【3】What should be done without delay according to Dudgeon and her team?

A．Adjusting the methods of fishing.

B．Putting the sharks on the Nature Red List

C．Changing the sharks' living environments.

D．Adopting necessary measures to protect the sharks.

【4】In which part of a website can we read the text?

A．Environment.

B．Nature.

C．Education.

D．Geography.

29、   Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about it. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.

Tea remained scarce (稀少的) and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it directly from China early in the 17th century. During the next few year so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.

At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. She was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.

At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, teatime was born.

【1】What do we know about the introduction of tea into Britain?

A.Tea reached Britain from Holland.

B.The Britons got expensive tea from India.

C.The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.

D.It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.

【2】When did tea become a popular drink in Britain?

A.In the late 19th century. B.In the 18th century.

C.In the 17th century. D.In the 16th century.

【3】The underlined words “this habit” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.

A.drinking tea with milk in it B.drinking tea without milk in it

C.drinking tea after dinner D.drinking tea in the afternoon

【4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A.The history of tea. B.The ways of making tea.

C.The birth of teatime. D.The habit of drinking tea.

A Bad Idea

Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.

The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.

Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.

"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".

The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.

It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.

The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
