26、Like many six-year-olds, Sam Pointon loves trains and dreams of working with them when he grows up. However, when the position for Director of the National Railway Museum in England was offered, Sam couldn’t help applying for it. And he got the job finally!
It all began during a family vacation, when Sam’s dad noticed the job opening. He joked that it would be the perfect position for little Sam when he grew up. But Sam thought he was able to do the job. After all, he had been on several train rides, owned an electric train and had mastered the technique of controlling two trains at once.
Little Sam’s handwritten letter caught the eye of the museum staff, who were so impressed by his enthusiasm that they decided to hire (雇用) him.
While the job doesn’t pay anything, it does have its perks (补贴). But young Sam doesn’t care about it. He thinks it would be an important experience for him. Therefore, he has been doing his job quite seriously and has already suggested that the museum should set up a model train area to attract more children.
In order to encourage Sam, his family was invited for a special VIP, behind-the-scenes tour of the museum, which covers more than 400 years of railroad history and houses over 100 old trains. They were also given free tickets to see a stage adaptation (版) of the popular kids’ book The Railway Children.
Sam is so serious about his new position that the six-year-old believes he doesn’t even have to go to school anymore — which of course, is not the case. His parents just haven’t had the heart to tell him yet!
【1】Sam learned about the job offer from ________.
A.the museum
B.the director
C.his father
D.his teacher
【2】Sam finally got the job mainly because of ________.
A.his attitude
B.his ability
C.his experience
D.his family’s support
【3】What do we know about Sam’s job at the museum?
A.He is kept busy.
B.He gets good pay.
C.He is the only child working there.
D.He does a good job.
【4】Which of the following words can best describe Sam?
A.Quiet and creative.
B.Careful and confident.
C.Brave and friendly.
D.Kind and clever.
27、The state of Texas has not fully recovered from last year’s hurricane, Harvey, as it prepares for a new season of storms. After a teleconference with President Trump and Federal Emergency Officials, Texas governor Greg Abbott said that they were taking steps on a daily basis to make sure they would be able to address any coming challenges.
Hurricane Harvey brought record rainfall to a wide range of Texas and more rain fell over a five day period than at any time, since records have been kept in the United States beginning in the 1850s. Last year’s deadly hurricanes including Harvey, Irma and Maria caused mass destruction in large parts of Texas, Louisiana, the South Atlantic states, the Caribbean and Puerto Rico. Trump praised what he called best recovery and response efforts to the disasters. They were gathering every accessible resource to ensure maximum preparation for rapid response. That’s what they had last year. Disaster reaction and recovery is best achieved when it’s nationally supported, state managed and locally performed.
Abbott also mentioned that two new satellites and modern technology will help decide the path and strength of the storms. State and local governments are also planning routes, shelters, communication lines and supply chains to ensure efficient reaction to the storms. Scientists warn that, as the earth warms, storms are taking more moisture and are able to produce more rainfall. This year storms are also expected to be driven by extremely powerful winds.
Emergency Officials say the nation has to be prepared for ever more active storms in the future. They’ve got to keep building the culture of preparedness in this state and in this nation. Meteorologists(气象学家)predict up to 16 storms this summer including 5 to 9 hurricanes, the most active storms will occur in the approaching Mid-August.
【1】What does the underlined word “address” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Face. B. Present. C. Request. D. Complain.
【2】What made the last year’s rescue more achievable?
A. The new satellites and modem technology.
B. The joint efforts of the whole nation.
C. The best recovery and reaction efforts.
D. The communication lines and supply chains.
【3】Which of the following is NOT included in the government response?
A. Providing shelters. B. Arranging routes.
C. Producing more rainfall. D. Supplying communication lines.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. The Culture of Preparedness in the U.S.
B. The Violence of Hurricane Harvey
C. The Prediction of the Future Weather
D. The Recovery after the Disasters
28、Over the last decade, demand for the cosmetic surgery has increased by more than 400 percent. According to Dr. Dai Davies, of the Plastic Surgery Partnership in Hammersmith, the majority of cosmetic surgery patients are not chasing physical perfection. Rather, they are driven to improve their appearance by a desire to look normal. “What we all crave is to look normal. The advertising media give us a perception(概念)of what is physically acceptable and we feel we must look like that.”
In America, the debate is no longer about whether surgery is normal; rather, it centres on what age people should be before going under the knife. New York surgeon Dr. Gerard Imber recommends “maintenance” work for people in their thirties. “The idea of waiting until one needs a heroic transformation is silly,” he says. “By then, you've wasted 20 great years of your life and allowed things to get out of hand.” Dr. Imber draws the line at operating on people who are under 18, however. “It seems that someone we don't consider old enough to order a drink shouldn't be considering plastic surgery.”
In the U. K. cosmetic surgery has long been seen as the exclusive domain(领土)of the very rich and famous. But the cost of treatment has fallen considerably, bringing all but the most advanced laser technology within the reach of most people. Dr. Davies says, “Of course, £3,000 for an operation is a lot of money. But it is also an investment for life which costs about half the price of a good family holiday.”
Dr. Davies suspects that the increasing sophistication(精密)of the fat injecting and removal techniques that allow patients to be treated with a local anesthetic(麻醉)in an afternoon has also helped promote the popularity of cosmetic surgery. One woman who recently paid f2, 500 for liposuction to remove fat from her thighs admitted, “Going into the clinic was so low key and effective that it whetted my appetite. Now I don't think there's any operation that I would rule out having if I could afford it.”
【1】The statement “draws the line at operating on people” (Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to ________.
A.removing wrinkles from the face
B.helping people make up
C.enjoying operating
D.refusing to operate
【2】According to the third paragraph, Dr. Davies implies that ________.
A.cosmetic surgery, though costly, is worth having
B.cosmetic surgery is too expensive
C.cosmetic surgery is necessary even for the average person
D.cosmetic surgery is mainly for the rich and famous
【3】It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A.it is wise to have cosmetic surgery under 18
B.cosmetic surgery is now much easier
C.people tend to abuse cosmetic surgery
D.the earlier people have cosmetic surgery, the better they will be
【4】The text is mainly about ________.
A.the advantage of having cosmetic surgery
B.what kind of people should have cosmetic surgery.
C.the reason why cosmetic surgery is so popular.
D.the disadvantage of having cosmetic surgery
29、 Since its discovery by astronomers in 2015, the exoplanet K2-18b has caused much excitement. About 110 light years away from Earth, the distant world sits not close enough to its host star to be too hot and not far enough away to be too cold, so that liquid water could flow across its surface. That is a significant condition for life.
Now astronomers have fueled the assumption. Follow-up images taken by Hubble suggest K2-18b has an atmosphere containing large amounts of water vapor (蒸汽)- the first one to have this confirmed. Most exoplanets previously found with atmospheres have been gas giants. K2-18b instead looks like it could be a rocky planet twice as big as Earth, perhaps with vast ice-covered seas,
To discover atmospheric water, Angelos Tsiaras, an astronomer at University College London, and his colleagues looked at how light passed through the atmosphere of K2-18b between 2015 and 2017. This technique is a common way to analyze the atmospheric composition of exoplanets, but it is difficult for the cold rocky worlds that could hold the conditions for life.
Writing this week in Nature Astronomy, Dr Tsiaras describes how his team wrote software that could analyze the data collected by Hubble to try to do the same job, to some degree. They were not able to figure out the exact form and amounts of the water they found. Instead they used computer models to simulate (模拟) the most likely situations, and concluded that as much as half of the atmosphere of K2- 18b could be water vapor.
With Dr Tsiaras's analyais, K2-18b is now the best candidate for a life-supporting exoplanet out there. The temperature on the surface could be about the same as Earth and there could be similar clouds hanging in the sky. However, the plane's closeness to the star could produce intense space weather. And it would be advisable to pack sun cream: the ultraviolet radiation(紫外线) would be out of range.
【1】Why has he exoplanet K2 18b bough about great interest?
A.It seems to have a proper climate like its host star
B.It's about 110 light years away from Earth.
C.It may be our future place of residence.
D.It's a planet covered with liquid water.
【2】What do the images taken by Hubble imply?
A.The discovery of gas giants.
B.The size of the exoplanet K2-18b.
C.The existence of atmospheric water.
D.The presence of vast ice-covered seas.
【3】What does the underlined word“the same job" in Para. 4 refer to?
A.Making use of computer models.
B.Simulating the most likely situations.
C.Analyzing the data collected by Hubble.
D.Figuring out the atmosphere composition.
【4】What might be the problem of K2- 18b according to the last paragraph?
A.Strong ultraviolet radiation.
B.Few atmospheric clouds.
C.Low surface temperature.
D.Unchangeable space weather.
【5】What can be the suitable title for the text?
A.A Rocky Planet: Twice as Big as Earth
B.K2-18b: an Exoplanet with Water Vapor
C.Liquid Water: Most Important Condition for Life
D.Hubble: Latest Technology for Space Exploration
