26、During a recent phone interview with a mom who had just moved to Colorado, the conversation turned to disaster planning.” I am standing here looking out of the window at the smoke from wildfires,” she told me, “and have absolutely no idea what we will do if the wind shifts our way.” Fortunately, the fire was put out, saving her home.
Making a disaster plan isn’t something anyone does for fun. But being caught without one in a time of need is worse. Emergency management officials say too few families have a disaster plan ,even in areas that have been hit hard by hurricanes or flooding.
I have prepared food, water, flashlights, candles, a battery-powered radio and firewood since our family was hit years ago by a hurricane that blocked off streets and knocked out our power for more than a week. Still we lack the medications, emergency contacts, and emergency-meeting and pet-care plans we should also have .Officials in my state of Oregon have warned us that one of us is really ready for the major disaster which is very likely to hit here---- a big earthquake.
Working parents need to coordinate(协调)their disaster plans with their children’s schools or child-care centers. Many parents in the 2003 New York blackout(断电)weren’t able to get home to their children because public traffic was stopped and lights were out. After that, many parents made detailed plans with child-care providers about where to meet in emergencies, an whom to contact if unable to reach each other.
Good emergency planning and training helped teachers at a child-care center in the World Trade Center successfully move children to a safe place during the 2001 terrorist attacks.
Do you have an emergency plan for your home? If not, you know what to do.
【1】According to the first paragraph , the mom_____.
A. lived alone in her home.
B. didn’t have a disaster plan
C. never thought her house would catch fire
D. was not frightened in front of the wildfires
【2】What can we infer from what emergency management officials said in Paragraph2?
A. Few people have fully realized the importance of making disaster plans.
B. The state of Oregon has been ready for a possible earthquake.
C. Hurricanes and flooding cause people to make disaster plans.
D. Many people consider making a disaster plan is fun.
【3】Which of the following things has the writer NOT prepared for disasters?
A. food B. Candles
C. A radio D. Medicine
【4】We can infer that the 2003 New York blackout _____.
A. was not serious enough to attract parents’ attention
B. showed how careful the teachers had always been
C. made parents realize the importance of having a disaster plan
D. helped parents know the importance of teachers to their children
【5】The fifth paragraph is mainly written to tell us that_____.
A. some people have disaster plans
B. children may be in danger any time
C. a good disaster plan can be helpful
D. child-care centers are not that safe
27、For most of my adult life, I’ve felt slightly ashamed —not of something I’ve done, but of something I haven’t. Although I’m an independent person who has been to numerous countries, I’ve never gone on an overseas holiday alone. I’ve traveled with my parents, partners, kids and other families. I’ve travelled with my pet and joined tours where I knew no one but came out with lifelong friends.
But for a while, my failure to travel alone felt like a mistake. Solo travel is celebrated. I’ve seen a thousand pieces written by adventurous women who claim to have found themselves by crossing countries alone. Traveling solo makes you capable, they say. It pushes you out of your comfort zone. Every woman should travel alone at least once in her life!
And yet, I’ve never had an urge to do it. For one thing, I need a lot of people contact. A single day without meaningful conversation can leave me feeling depressed. Proper, engaging conversation is difficult when traveling alone. Even if you’re good at chatting with strangers, it isn’t always possible. I don’t want to worry about being alone on my travels. I want support and company during my adventures. I used to see this desire to be with others as some sort of flaw, but now I see it as a valid choice.
Traveling solo builds resilience. But so does life. I am a single parent raising three children while trying to juggle a career. I make endless decisions alone and deal with crises alone. I manage loneliness and fear. I don’t need to travel alone to build resilience. I have resilience in spades, I’m sure travelling overseas would push me further out of comfort zone. But you know what else pushed me out of my comfort zone? Being single in a society that values marriage. Earning a living in a difficult industry. Dating men I’ve met on an app. My life is effortful enough. I don’t need my travels to be effortful too.
Travel is incredibly valuable, no matter what your stage of life. It teaches you how diverse the world is and how to appreciate your culture in relation to another. It stretches your mind and gives you a new viewpoint.
And you don’t need a solo journey to become an independent woman. I assure you that life will get you there in the end.
【1】What does the author feel a bit ashamed of?
A.Her lack of independence.
B.Her failure to travel overseas.
C.Not being adventurous enough.
D.Not having travelled on her own abroad
【2】Why is solo travel applauded by adventurous women?
A.It is both relaxing and empowering.
B.They can better appreciate different cultures.
C.They get to know themselves better.
D.It forces them to face their deepest fear.
【3】What does the author mean by saying “I have resilience in spades” in paragraph 4?
A.She has had enough of resilience.
B.She doesn’t want to travel solo with spades.
C.She doesn’t need solo traveling to build character.
D.She has gone through many difficulties in life to have great resilience.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Walking out of comfort zone
B.Solo travel is unnecessary
C.Life is travelling solo
D.Being an independent woman
28、Editor: Today our topic is part-time job. Are they good for school children or not?
Headmaster: Certainly not. Children have got two full-time jobs already: growing up and going to school. Part-time jobs make them so tired that they fall asleep in class.
Mrs. White: I agree. I know school hours are short, but there’s homework as well, and children need a lot of sleep.
Mr. White: Young children, perhaps some boys, stay at school until they’re eighteen or nineteen. A part-time job can’t harm them. In fact, it’s good for them. They earn their pocket money instead of asking their parents for it. And they see something of the world outside school.
Businessman: You’re quite right. Boys learn a lot from a part-time job. And we mustn’t forget that some families need the extra money. If the pupils didn’t take part-time jobs, they couldn’t stay at school.
Editor: Well, we have got two for, and two against. What do our readers think?
【1】Who have the same opinion?
A. Headmaster and Mrs. White.
B. Editor and Mr. White .
C. Mr. and Mrs. White.
D. Businessman and Headmaster.
【2】Mrs. White thinks the young children maybe ________.
A. need to stay at school until they are eighteen or nineteen
B. need to have some pocket money
C. should see something of the world outside school
D. need to have a lot of sleep
【3】 What does the editor think of part-time jobs?
A. They can help students from poor families.
B. They are good for school children.
C. They cannot harm school children.
D. We are not told.
29、Twelve-year-old Leonardo was born in a poor family in Bambamarca in Peru. He knew how to read but he had never seen a book in his life. So he asked the new priest (牧师) in his village to give him one. But there was no electricity. So Leonardo borrowed candles from the church and sat up all night reading it. The next morning, he was at the door of the priest asking for another book to read.
John Medcalf, the priest,was moved. He also realised that people would love to read if given a chance. But he knew how difficult it was for Leonardo and those in his village to get books. And yet, no one can be taught to read and write without books. To make people in a poor, faraway area grow to love books, they have to be with them. So he thought the only way was to bring books to people.
But how could this be done? Mobile libraries or car libraries would be too expensive and difficult to continue in the rocky, hilly land of Peru. So what other methods could be used?
Medcalf got a new idea from the barefoot (赤脚) doctors of China. And that was how the barefoot librarians (图书管理员) first appeared in the villages of northern Peru, almost thirty years ago.
The librarians began by going from village to village, lending books to villagers. They helped start The Rural Library Network of Peru.
At first, they were teachers of the village schools which these faraway libraries belonged to. But the teachers were not very interested in the job because it meant a lot of hard work. So, village leaders took on the job themselves.
Today, there are 600 village libraries across Peru. The barefoot librarians who walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books are their lifeline.
【1】The first paragraph tells us that Leonardo ______ .
A.had a lot of books
B.bought candles from others
C.enjoyed reading books
D.lived in the church
【2】The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “______ ”
A.to grow to love books
B.to bring books to people
C.to read and write
D.to build a new library
【3】The passage doesn’t mention ______.
A.when the barefoot librarians appeared
B.who worked as village librarians at first
C.where Medcalf met Chinese doctors
D.how many village libraries Peru has today
【4】It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that ______.
A.the first church in Peru was set up by John Medcalf
B.car libraries used to be popular in Leonardo’s village
C.teachers were interested in bringing books to villagers
D.the barefoot librarians are important to village libraries
