26、When Jordan Reeves was 8 years old, she couldn’t wait to start a new dance class. But as she was warming up, she noticed that some of the kids were staring at her. Did she wear her clothes backward? Were her clothes dirty? No. The kids were looking at her left arm. It stops above the elbow (肘).

“I’ve had to deal with people staring at me in my whole life,” Jordan, now 13, explains. Although Jordan sometimes feels uncomfortable when people stare, she’s proud to be different. And she’s using her difference to inspire other kids with disabilities.

Growing up, Jordan attended camps for kids with limb (肢) differences. Then, three years ago, she was invited to a special workshop. She was challenged to design a new prosthetic (假体的) arm — one that would turn her disability into a “superpower”.

Jordan teamed up with designers to create an arm. They used a 3D printer to create the prosthetic arm. Instead of paper, the 3D printer used plastic to create an arm shaped like a unicorn’s horn (独角兽的角). Jordan called her invention Project Unicorn.

Jordan’s mom shared the story of Project Unicorn online, and it quickly spread on social media. Jordan was already a mentor (导师) to other kids with disabilities. Now she had a bigger audience and could share her message with more people.

In 2017, Jordan and her mom formed an organization called Born Just Right to help other kids with limb differences. They’re making it possible for kids from across the US to create their own limbs, as Jordan did.

“We want to show kids that anything is possible,” Jordan says. “Your differences are amazing. You never know what amazing things you can do with them.”

【1】What is the text mainly about?

A．How 3D printer works.

B．What the organization Born Just Right is.

D．How Jordan’s difference makes her amazing.

【2】Why does the author include the two questions in paragraph 1?

A．To express his doubts.

B．To introduce Jordan’s difference.

C．To describe Jordan’s character.

D．To show others’ attitude towards Jordan.

【3】Which of the following happened after the invention of Project Unicorn?

A．Jordan attended a special camp.

B．Jordan invented her new arm.

C．Jordan started a new dance class.

D．Jordan and her mom started Born Just Right.

【4】What can we learn about Jordan from the text?

A．She is a skilled dancer.

B．She feels unlucky.

C．She has a right attitude to life.

D．She suffers a lot from her disability.

27、Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber. He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure(探险)in South America, covering 7,800 miles. He was even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018.

Although Jerry had achieved great success, he didn’t feel fulfilled. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains? Am I doing something helpful? How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world?”

Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples(样本)from the places far away to do research. But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach——only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought himself could do something to help. He then came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventures to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the earth and find ways to protect it.

Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant life of Mountain Qomolangma. The samples they brought back have helped scientists how plants live in extreme(极端的)conditions.

For Jerry, this kind of adventure is most satisfying. “Such adventures had made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn’t important for me, what matters is doing something helpful while climbing the mountains. There is still much more we can do.” Jerry said to a newspaper.

【1】What does the underlined word “fulfilled” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Satisfied.

B．Lonely.

C．Patient.

D．Worried.

B．To help scientists.

C．To study plants.

D．To train scientists.

B．their friendship

C．their understanding of life

D．their living conditions

【4】Which can be the best title for the passage?

A．Dangerous Mountains Climbing.

B．Important Scientific Discoveries.

C．Plants Found on High Mountains.

D．Adventures Turned into Something Greater.

28、Dillon Helbig, 8, is in second grade. He lives in Idaho. Late last year, he wrote a Christmas adventure story. He drew pictures for it. He filled up 81 pages of a red-covered notebook. Once he finished, he came up with a plan. He brought the notebook to the library. He put it on a children’s picture-book shelf (书架). Nobody saw him do it.

The book’s title is “The Adventures of Dillon Helbig’s Crismis.” It is signed “by Dillon His Self.”

Dillon later told his mother what he’d done. They went back to look for the book. It was gone. His mother called the library to ask if anyone had found it.

Alex Hartman runs the library where Dillon left his book. “It was a secret act,” Hartman said, laughing. He and the staff (职员) had found and read the book. Hartman read it to his 6-year-old son, Cruzen. Cruzen laughed and said it was one of the funniest books he’d ever seen.

The library staff agreed that Dillon’s book should be in the library. The story was good. It was fun to read. So Hartman asked the Helbigs if the library could put a bar code (条形码) on the book. That would allow others to check it out. The answer was a happy yes.

A local news channel reported on Dillon’s story. After that, more and more people wanted to read his book. By late last month, there was a list of 55 people waiting to check it out. Often, if a book has a long waiting list, the library buys a second copy. They can’t do that with Dillon’s book. But Hartman is talking to Dillon’s mom about making it into an e-book to share. The book even won a prize. The library gave Dillon its first Whoodini Award for Best Young Novelist.

29、   When Mike Coots was 18, he lost his leg to a shark bite. It was near his home on the island of Kauai - a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good. Suddenly a large shark came right up under Mike and sank his teeth into Mike's lower leg and Mike felt no pain.

He began working with the Hawaii state government to help pass a ban on shark-derived products.

32、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Animated movies use drawings instead of real people. Artists must draw thousands of pictures and each picture must be a little different. For example, if the movie-maker wants to show a girl running, the artist must draw her feet in different places in each picture. When the pictures are shown very quickly, one after the other, it looks like the girl is running. Walt Disney was not the first or only person to use animation in movies, but he is the most renowned. His first Mickey Mouse cartoon, produced in 1927, was called Plane Crazy. This was a short, silent movie about the adventures of a little mouse.

Many people in the movie business thought that animation was only appropriate for short cartoons. Disney did not agree with them. He believed that he could tell any kind of story using animation. His first long movie was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Disney spent all his money making this movie. Fortunately, it was a great success. He made Pinocchio next and then Dumbo (about a baby elephant), and he didn’t look back after this.

When we think of Disney, however, we don’t only think of movies, we also think of Disneyland. There are Disneylands in Japan, the United States of America and France. They are large parks where people can meet Disney’s characters and visit scenes from his movies.

Although Walt Disney made many of the famous movies many years ago, they are as popular now as they were when he made them. Today we can buy them on video and see them in movie theatres from time to time. When Walt Disney began making his animated cartoons all those years ago, people drew all the pictures by hand. Nowadays computers do much of his work.
