26、   PARIS-A scaffolding(脚手架) firm that has worked on the roof of Notre Dame said some of its workers had smoked on the site, but ruled out that a cigarette butt(烟蒂) might have started the fire that destroyed the cathedral’s oak-framed roof last week.

A spokesman for family-owned Le Bras Freres, confirming a report in French weekly Le Canard Emchaine, told Reuters that some workers of its Europe Echafaudage scaffolding unit had informed police that they had "sometimes “smoked the scaffolding, despite a smoking ban on the site.

“We blame it. But the fire started inside the building... so for company Le Bras Freres this is not a hypothesis(假设 )， it was not a cigarette butt that set Notre Dame de Paris on fire, "Le Bras Freres spokesman Mare Eskenazi said. The Canard Enchaine reported that police had found the remains of seven cigarette butts in the burnt-out cathedral. “This is not wrong, "said a source close to the investigation, who declined all other comment. Eskemazi said it was impossible to set a log on fire with a cigarette butt and questioned how cigarette butts could have been found on the site. " If cigarette butts have survived the fire, I do not know what material they were made of, "he said

Europe Echaffaudage also ruled out the possibility that the fire might have been started by an electricity incident at one of the two lifts on the site. " The lifts' electricity was perfectly within specifications and well maintained. "he said. He added that the two lifts were on the outside of the building, situated at 45 and 65 meters from the base of the spire( 尖顶), where the first smoke and flames had been spotted and that the workers had cut the power to the lifts at 17: 50 when they had left the site for the day.

The Canard Enchaine also reported that electrical wiring ran through the roof of the cathedral, but the church administration denied that safety norms had not been respected.  “Nothing was ever done without the approval of the state.....There were no wires dangling everything was properly installed, "Notre Dame spokesman Andre Finot said. In 2012,electrical engines had been installed to sound the bells in the spire.

27、   A few years ago, Adina Lichtman was handing out sandwiches on the streets of New York City to help people experiencing homelessness. One man, grateful for the sandwich, approached her and offered a surprising idea.

“It’s great that you’re giving out sandwiches,” he said, “but one thing we really need is socks, especially as winter approaches.”

“Here I was, sandwiches in hand, thinking I knew the best way to help people,” Lichtman said. “It was a powerful lesson, and I wanted to put it into action.”

She began that night, with a simple step: going door-to-door on the floor of her dormitory at New York University, asking her classmates if they could each just donate (捐赠) just one pair of their own socks to someone experiencing homelessness. She got 40 pairs of socks in a single night, from a single floor. The next morning she opened her door to find a lot of socks that other people had donated.

That morning officially kicked off Knock Knock, Give a Sock (KKGS), a new nonprofit (非营利的) organization that has now provided over 350,000 pairs of socks to the homeless across America. To date, over 50 colleges and high schools across the US have joined KKGS over the years.

“While many people donate clothing, 9 out of every 10 clothing donors have never donated socks. On top of that, people who are trying to donate socks often find it difficult to donate used socks,” she says. “KKGS is one of the only organizations that collects used socks. We have volunteers knocking on doors of their classmates in school, of their workmates at work, and even of their neighbors.”

But, whether you’re 26 or 62, you don’t need to wait to organize your own sock drive, collect socks, or even wash and clean some of your own to donate to your local shelter, or someone in need who you meet on the street.

【1】How did the homeless man’s words affect Lichtman?

A.They caused her to start KKGS.

B.They pushed her to go to college.

C.They encouraged her to house the homeless.

D.They made her continue to give out sandwiches.

【2】How did Lichtman’s classmates react to her request for donation?

A.Some refused it politely.

B.They strongly supported it.

C.Some felt quite surprised by it.

D.They considered it unreasonable.

【3】What advice does the author offer to people?

A.Take action in small ways.

B.Start your own organization.

C.Make donations from an early age.

D.Find creative ways to help people.

28、   The big examination is approaching. Assignments and tests will keep many of you up late at night, and you may plan to make up for your lost sleep during the weekends.【1】 A study   shows that the habit of sleeping in on weekends doesn’t fix the damage done by a lack of sleep during the week.【2】

In the study, 36 healthy young men and women with different sleep requirements were divided into three groups. The first and second groups were asked to sleep nine hours and five hours a night respectively. The members of the third group slept for five hours on weekdays, but rested as long as they wanted on the weekend.

The researchers found that people who lacked sleep ate more snacks and gained weight quickly. 【3】That could be partially due to the change of the biological clock. In order to   catch up on their sleep during weekends, people in the third group would habitually eat later, changing the release of hunger hormones. “【4】” explained US researcher Polotsky. And even if they tried to sleep for as long as they wanted to during weekends, it was still inadequate to meet standard sleep time because they found it difficult to fall asleep.

“【5】”Polotsky told CNN. “Because short, inadequate sleep schedules will lead to an in ability to change blood sugar and increase the risk of metabolic (新陈代谢的) disease in the long term. ”

For this reason, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends at least seven hours of sleep each night for adults and much more for children.

A.But is it useful?

B.Do you feel excited about it?

C.Even worse,it may damage your health.

D.And these people are more likely to fall ill.

E.However,this wasn’t the case for the first group.

F.They may feel tired even after a full night’s sleep.

G.It increases appetite,so you’re hungry and eat more.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.

We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

35、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Everyone has their own unique fingerprint; 【1】 makes fingerprints an ideal way to unlock smartphones. However, this may be 【2】 (safe) than we think.

Scientists at New York University and Michigan State University in the US have developed a set of fake fingerprints. They say that the prints 【3】 unlock any fingerprint-enabled smartphone up to 65 percent of the time.

The artificial fingerprints 【4】 (create) by using many common features found in human prints. They work 【5】 taking advantage of the way smartphone scanners check a fingerprint.

The fingerprint scanners   【6】 (use) in smartphones are so small that they only read parts of fingerprints. So they have to take many scans of your finger or thumb (拇指) 【7】 they work properly. Smartphones also let users save several finger and thumbprints. Since a print only has to match one of the saved images 【8】 (unlock) the phone, the scanner is more likely to make mistakes.

Although the scientists have only tested their findings in computer simulations (模拟), 【9】 (worry) about the safety of using fingerprints are reasonable .They warn that the technology used to create artificial fingerprints is improving   【10】 (extreme) fast.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) became an early 【5】 with its Open Course Ware project, first 【6】 in 2001. Free lecture notes, exams and other resources are published at ocw.mit.edu. Many exams even include the answers. Today, Open Course Ware offers materials from 1,800 undergraduate and graduate courses. These 【7】 from Physics to Political Science. Visitors can learn the same things as MIT students learn. But as the site points out, Open Course Ware is not an MIT education. Visitors receive no credit toward a degree. Some materials from a course may not be available, and the site does not provide 【8】 with teachers. Still, MIT says that the site has had forty million visits by thirty-one million visitors from almost every country. Sixty percent of the visitors are from outside the United States and Canada. Students and educators use the site, including students at MIT. But the largest number of visitors, about half, are self-learners.

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?

Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.

The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their 【4】 screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they’re “the 【5】 of a small tablets and smart-phone, all in a single device”.

But if the fold-able device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.

When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears, with a fawn-colored coat. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it.

The dog was barely twelve weeks old. It had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn't know what to do. I thought about running an advertisement in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely.

By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone.

Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband.

By now we had named the dog. It looked like a Molly, so that was what we called it. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did housework, it was there to lend a hand.

There was only one problem with this otherwise perfect picture: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done.

Paragraph 1:

With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the receiver and dialed.

Paragraph 2:

One look at Molly and the woman’s face lit up like a Christmas tree.
