26、   Hong Kong is among the cities which have the largest populations in the world, but with night skies around 1,000 times brighter than globally accepted levels, it gains a bad reputation(名声) for its light pollution.

A study by Hong Kong University found that brightness levels in the southern Chinese city's popular shopping district of Tsim Sha Tsui were 1,200 times greater than the international dark sky standard.

The crowded city of 7 million people, full of residential(住宅的) high-rises, towering office blocks and neon(霓虹灯) advertisements has no laws to control outdoor lightning.

The result is that light pollution is thought to be much worse than in other large cities, including London, Sydney, Tokyo and Shanghai.

“In Hong Kong, you can't go anywhere outdoor in the evening without your eyes being blinded by this really upsetting outdoor lightning,” the light pollution survey's head Jason Pum told AFP.

“The fact that we have all this light in the sky means energy is wasted,” he said, adding that too much artificial lightning also affects nightly wildlife.

Research has suggested that light pollution can cause a number of harmful health problems in humans, including sleeplessness and headaches and can also affect body clocks and hormones(荷尔蒙).

The university's survey, the result of five million measurements taken from points across the city, was released just days before the start of the yearly Earth Hour event, organized by the World Wildlife Fund.

People around the world will be encouraged to turn off the lights for an hour on Saturday night to advertise climate change. Last year, a number of Hong Kong's major buildings along Victoria Harbour went dark to mark Earth Hour.

“Anyway, we should do our best to reduce the amount of lightning and suit it to the benefit of the environment.”

【1】If you walk out at night in Hong Kong, you can see all those things except ______.

A.neon advertisements B.residential buildings

C.a dark sky with many stars D.high office blocks

【2】Which of the following statements about too much lightning is NOT true?

A.Too much lightning means wasting energy. B.It can make the city more beautiful at night.

C.It may have a bad effect on nightly wildlife. D.It can do great harm to human beings' health.

【3】We can know from the passage that__________

A.Earth Hour is simply organized to reduce pollution. B.light pollution is the biggest problem in Hong Kong.

C.light pollution is the primary causes of sleeplessness. D.light pollution in Hong Kong is among world's worst.

【4】What will the author probably discuss after the last paragraph?

A.Ways to reduce light pollution B.Causes of light pollution

C.Worries about light pollution D.Bad effects of light pollution

27、   While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had one of those life-changing experiences. One man stopped right next to me to greet his family.

First the man walked up to his oldest son. He cupped his face in his hands and said, “You’re already quite a young man. I love you very much, Zach!”

Then he went to his youngest son. They gave each other a long, loving hug. Then I heard the father say, “It’s so good to see you, son. I missed you so much!” With his eyes turning away and his face becoming redder, his son replied softly, “Me, too, Dad!”

While this was happening, a baby girl was moving excitedly in her mother’s arms. The man said, “Hi, baby girl!” And then he gently took the child from her mother. He quickly kissed her face all over.

After several moments, he handed his daughter to his oldest son and said, “I’ve saved the best for the last!” He walked forward to give his wife the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing.

It seemed that they just got married, but I knew by the age of their kids that they had been married for long. I pondered it for a moment and couldn’t help asking. “Wow! How long have you two been married?”

“Been together fourteen years in total, and been married twelve of those.” he replied. “Well then, how long have you been separated?” I asked. The man smiled, “Two whole days!”

Two days? I was shocked. Judging from the greeting. I had thought they’d been separated for at least several months. I said almost immediately, “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years!”

The man suddenly stopped smiling. He said something that left me a different person. He told me, “Don’t hope, friend…decide!” Then he gave me his wonderful smile again. They left together happily.

B.That the wife hadn’t seen her husband for just two days.

C.That the couple had been together for long.

D.That the father answered his question.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.A Father’s Deep Love for His Children B.My First Impression of an Old Couple

C.A Life-changing Experience at the Airport D.My Experience of Picking up a Friend

28、Samuel Morse was born in Massachusetts USA. He started off his career as an inventor after being a painter and sculptor (雕塑家). He even earned a gold medal from the famous Adelphi Society of Arts for his first effort in sculpture, the “Dying Hercules”. He became the first president of the National Academy of Design, and was made Professor of the Arts of Design in the University of the City of New York.

Yet, this painter turned to inventing to make his fortune during a sea voyage. On this journey, Samuel Morse heard about many attempts to create usable telegraphs. He was fascinated by this problem and began to study books on physics for two years to gain more scientific knowledge. He realized that pulses (脉冲) of electrical current could carry information over wires.

Thus the world’s first working model of a telegraph was born. His signaling device was quite simple. It consisted of a transmitter (containing a battery and a key), a small buzzer (蜂鸣器) as a receiver and a pair of wires connecting the two. Samuel Morse improved it by adding a switch and a second buzzer to allow transmission (传播) in the opposite direction as well.

On May 24, 1844 Samuel Morse sent the first electronic message between Baltimore and Washington, “Look what God has enabled us to build, and benefit by.”

Seventeen years later, the two coasts of the United States were linked by telegraph. The telegraph continued to enjoy the position of being the fastest and most reliable means of communication for almost 140 years since its invention.

【1】From the passage we learn that Samuel Morse ________.

A．was a famous sculptor at one time

B．was president of New York University

C．first discovered pulses of electrical current

D．became a millionaire after inventing the telegraph

【2】Samuel Morse wanted to invent a telegraph because ________.

A．he was very interested in it

B．he thought he was a talented inventor

A．the battery and the key

C．the wires and the battery

D．the receiver and the key

29、   You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice. You can't on someone else to make you happy.

You can choose your emotions（情感）. True happiness comes from within; it can't be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose a new pair of shoes. When you're buying new shoes, you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don’t like or that don't fit well, right? You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life. So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don’t make us feel good?

Choosing to be after you realize your anger has shown up can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others influence our emotions, we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.

We need to keep in check our feelings and not react immediately to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.

Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just change your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don’t be lost in what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

【1】How did the author develop her idea in Paragraph 2?

A.By making a comparison. B.By referring to a social problem.

C.By giving reasons. D.By describing her own experience.

【2】What does it mean if we choose to be happy rather than angry?

A.We're making others happy B.We're better controlling our feelings.

C.We're getting to know our emotions. D.We’re sharing power with others.

【3】Which of the following best explains “keep in check” underlined in Paragraph 4?

A.Express. B.Set down. C.Improve. D.Hold back.

【4】What's the main idea of the text?

A.How to choose our feelings. B.Where to find happiness.

C.Making decisions to be cheerful. D.Thinking twice before actions.

30、   An eight­year­old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money left. When she heard her daddy say to her _______mother with desperation (绝望)，“Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now.” The little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank.

“I don't know,” she replied. “He's really sick and daddy says he needs a(n) an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it, so I have brought my _______.”

“How much do you have?” asked the man.

“One dollar and eleven cents, but I can try and get some more,” she answered quietly.

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.

One day, Ali took Zahra’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.

Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.

The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
