26、The input Dad has on my career is incomparable. My earliest memories are of Dad sitting in the kitchen playing the guitar, listening to his favourite song by his favourite singer, and encouraging his little girl to poke (戳) keys randomly on the piano. Even watching Top of the Pops, he would get so passionate about music in it. We weren’t a religious family, but there was something spiritual about Dad’s connection with music.

Music also became a source of comfort for me. I failed to do well academically at school and had no friends. Being at school consumed so much of my emotional energy. Instead of going to school to learn stuff, I felt as though I was simply trying to get people to like me. Things were better, but the only time I truly felt happy was when I was at home listening to music with Mum and Dad or writing songs on the piano —and the older I got, the more powerful music felt.

Dad was always my biggest supporter. When I started giving live performances at the local bar, he was the one who drove me there and back. Freeing up that time wasn’t easy for an actor. His job might mean three weeks in the Czech Republic or working with George Lucas on The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones in Hollywood.

Dad has been involved with some amazing stuff, but Daddy Pig is the one that’s had the biggest impact all over the world. When I was flying to Australia for my first tour, I was trying to find something to watch on the little screen and I noticed they had Peppa Pig. If I’m missing home and family, I always put it on. Daddy Pig is a fairly real version of my dad —he loves chocolate cake, he’s funny and usually breaks things when he’s trying to mend them. Mum and Dad were friends with one of the producers of the show and I often wonder if he looked at my dad and thought, “That’s him …that’s Daddy Pig.”

27、We’re directly affected by our environment. When the rising temperature or the bitter cold is the first thing on your mind, it might be hard to discuss anything else. However, as a matter of fact, you needn’t have worried so much about this. 【1】 However, there are ways to change the activity into a meaningful moment between two people.

1. 【2】

Talking about shared interests is the easiest way to make a connection with someone-and more personal talking about the weather. When you start a conversation with someone, try searching for pieces of information that you can connect to.

2. Don’t ask someone what they do.

When speaking with someone for the first time, work is always one of our topics. But wanting to know what someone does for a living may kill our conversations. 【3】 When it comes to small talk, try avoiding jobs and discovering general interests instead.

3. Enjoy the silence.

No one likes a long stop-but most silent moments between topics aren’t as long as you think they are. 【4】 Sometimes stops are needed in order to continue a conversation. Remember that if you say something, the other person may need to think about it, so enjoy the silence.

4. Look at your conversation as a learning experience.

Different people have different thoughts, ideas and feelings. Ask someone about a topic they’ re familiar with that you know nothing about. Every time you meet someone new — or even speak with someone you know — it’s an opportunity to learn something. 【5】 You can expand your knowledge of other areas, cultures and nations.

A．Search for common interests.

B．Keep your introduction simple.

C．Small talk may not be pleasant.

D．In fact, a little quiet can be a good thing.

E．It’ll benefit you more than you may realize.

F．Making small talk is an art that can be mastered.

G．It may send the signal that the most important part about us is our job.

28、   The horses, llamas, donkeys and dogs who arrive at Horse Creek Stable Rescue Sanctuary are often sick, weak or just tired. Lester Aradi, a retired police chief, along with his wife Diane, makes sure no one lets them down again. The refuge for special needs animals they founded in Georgia’s Blue Ridge mountains is a bustling 35-acre beacon of new beginnings. But there are endings here, too.

When they die, the animals are buried on a slight hillside overlooking the grass land. Graves for dogs are lined up in a row. Burials for bigger animals — horses, llamas, donkeys — are marked with a fruit tree. Lester and Diane see it as a symbol of the circle of life. “We just try to honor them that way,” Lester said. But the most obvious marker for a fresh grave will be a three-legged dog named Tricycle. When an animal dies, he shows sadness — sometimes for as long as three days.

“I don’t know if he can sense it, smell it, or whatever, But I think he is grieving. That is his way of saying goodbye.” The first time was back when his friend Major died. “When Major died, we buried him here on the farm,” Lester said. “Tricycle went over and laid on his grave for about three days. He would come into the house. But every time he was outside, he would go to Major’s grave and lay on it.”

Lester posted a picture of Tricycle mourning Major on Horse Creek Stable’s Facebook page. Not long after that, a dog rescue group got in touch with him. They thought maybe Lester and Diane could take in another three-legged dog who needed a second chance in life. And so, Romeo arrived at the farm. Naturally, Tricycle bonded with his new friend, just like him. It truly is the circle of life.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A.Burying animals on the hillside. B.Marking the dead animals with a fruit tree.

C.Planting trees on the grass land. D.Setting up graves in a row.

【2】What do we know about Tricycle from the text?

A.He was healthy when he came to the refuge.

B.He often laid on his friend’s grave and refused to come into the house.

C.He had no friends since his only friend had died.

D.His lying on his friend’s grave was his way of saying goodbye.

【3】How did Romeo come to the refuge?

A.Lester Aradi went to a dog rescue group and found Romeo.

B.A dog rescue group sent Romeo to the refuge.

C.Tricycle found Romeo on the hill and brought him back.

D.He was found on Facebook and was brought to the refuge.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

30、Who comes first?

A child’s place in the family birth order may play a role in the type of occupations that will interest him or her as an adult. new research suggests. In two related studies researchers found that only children—and to a certain extent first-born children - were more interested in intellectual careers than later-born children. ________ later-born children were more interested in both artistic and outdoor-related careers.

These results ________ theories that say our place in family birth order will influence our personality, said Frederick T. L. Leong, co-author of the study and professor of psychology at Ohio University. “Parents ________ place different demands and have different expectations of children depending on their birth order. ”

“For example, parents may be extremely ________ of only children and worry about their physical safety. That may be why only children are more likely to show interest in academic pursuits rather than physical or ________ activities. An only child will tend to get more time and attention from their parents than children with sisters or brothers. This will often make them feel special but the ________ is that they may suffer from jealousy and loneliness when friends discuss their brothers and sisters and family life. ”

The first-born is an only child until the second child comes along—transforming them from being the centre of attention, to then ________ the care of parents. Parents will also expect them to be responsible and “set an example”. The ________ from being the focus of a family may be quite a shock and so shape the first-born’s outlook on life. ________ first-borns may try to get back their parents’ attention and approval by achieving success in their careers. It is ________ that first-borns are significantly more often found as political leaders than any other birth-order position.

Being the youngest in the family can sometimes be a(n) ________ experience especially if the child wants to be taken seriously and treated like an adult. The last-born is more likely than the other birth-order positions to take up dangerous sports. This may be a(n) ________ of the last-born’s rebelliousness-a result of being fed up with always being bossed about by everyone else in the family.

Middle children, however, have different ________ . “Middle-child syndrome” can mean feeling ________ between two other “more important” people—an older brother or sister who gets all the rights and is treated like an adult and a younger one who gets all the privileges and is treated like a spoilt child. Middle-borns have to learn to get on with older and younger children and this may contribute to them becoming good negotiators —of all the birth-order positions they are most skillful at ________ both authority figures and those holding inferior positions

In January, eight gorillas (大猩猩) at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, in California, became the first great apes to test positive (阳性的) for COVID-19. “There was an immediate concern,” said Nadine Lamberski, the chief 【1】 (保护) and wildlife health officer at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. “We want to 【2】 (尽我们的职责) and take all measures to make sure that won’t happen again.”

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather’s house in Puthur in Tamil Nadu, which was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm(棕榈) trees with green coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, the children would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play with the rabbits and squirrels jumping about in the trees and bushes. He also liked fishing in the link ponds with his friends. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa’s place.

This winter vacation. Sami was surprised when be came to his grandfather’s village. There were hardly any trees left. What lay at the water’s edge(边缘) were only sucks and mud. He saw houses built near the sea. Logs(木材), branches of trees and stones lay around. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.

“Grandpa, where have all the trees gone?” asked Sami.

“People have cut them down for wood, to be used for fuel and furniture.” replied Grandpa.

“There will be no more trees then. Where will the birds perch(栖息) and the squirrels play?”

“Let us hope that that day never comes,” sighed Grandpa.

Grandpa’s house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He liked each palm tree in his courtyard. He also admired the two big trees near the front door. He called one of them Petu, and the other, Beta. They gave the sweetest juiciest coconuts which he always enjoyed sharing with Sami.

One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He tossed and turned in bed. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting(裂开). He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa, “It’s an earthquake”. Grandpa cried out. They ran outside the house where they thought it would be safer.
