26、A teenager has gained a six-figure sum for a vampire (吸血鬼) novel she wrote after being inspired by the Twilight. Abigail Gibbs, 18, who started writing the book aged 14, released chapters of her novel online, where the book eventually received 17 million hits. Harper Collins in Britain has now signed this talented author following her extraordinary Internet success.

Miss Gibbs, from Brixham, Devon, who is about to start studying English at Oxford University, is the first author to be discovered on Wattpad. Wattpad is an online library which allows subscribers (用户) to upload or read other people’s stories. Miss Gibbs also said Stephenie Meyer’s famous Twilight books had influenced her novel, The Dark Heroine. “I read the Twilight and did really enjoy it. At first, my parents were a bit opposed to my writing because I was staying up till 3 a.m. on school nights and they were worried that I might fall behind.”

Miss Gibbs finished her book at the age of 16. She posted each chapter after she had written it on the Internet site, until she got to five chapters before the end when she stopped. “I had signed with an agent and he basically said, ‘Don’t post anymore so as to keep the readers’ anxiety”. That was tough because I disappeared in the site for a year and there were a lot of fans asking where I was. I have had so many requests from fans to upload the last five chapters; some people even said they were going to write their own endings.” Her fans can buy the e-book for ￡2.99, or wait for the paperback book priced at ￡6.99 in shops next month.

B. must wait for about a month

C. can buy a paperback in a bookstore now

D. can ask for a copy of the manuscript (原稿)

27、   Of all the places stray (流浪的) cats can live in Beijing, perhaps none provides greater companionship than an underground facility known as the “Cat Shed”. A variety of cats are spread across the shed’s 100 square meters. They jump and play on toy towers or rest on cotton blankets on iron-framed beds.

Since the facility was established in 2012, some 150 cats have lived there. More than 100 volunteers attend to the strays. Many claim that they gain greater benefit from the interaction than the cats, because the animals offer not just companionship, but also a kind of healing.

The “housekeeper” is Yin Yi, a doctoral candidate at the Central Iron and Steel Research Institute in Beijing. When the 29-year-old arrived in the capital in late 2015, he faced huge pressure from his studies and personal relationships, while the alien environment exacerbated his feeling of loneliness.

After gaining a master’s from a university in Inner Mongolia, Yin relocated to go for a doctorate in material sciences. Accustomed to having friends around, he was not used to a lonely life, especially working by himself and spending up to 10 hours in a lab most days. To improve his mood, he decided to contact animal bases, looking for opportunities to care for stray cats. When he heard that a stray cat basement near his campus was looking for volunteers, he contacted Wu Xinhua, who organizes activities at the Cat Shed, and was soon surrounded by furry friends. His favorite moment is when he dishes out food and a dozen strays gather round, with several rubbing against his feet. When he graduates, Yin plans to house three strays in his apartment.

【1】What does the underlined word “exacerbated” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Worsened B.Improved

C.Replaced D.Touched

【2】What can we learn about the Cat Shed?

A.Yin Yi has rented the basement and provided facilities for the Cat Shed.

B.The Cat Shed is a relaxing and warm place for volunteers.

C.Wu Xinhua raises money to run the Cat Shed.

D.The Cat Shed only allows volunteers to adopt cats there.

【3】What is the best title for the text?

A.Stray cats enjoy themselves at the Cat Shed

B.Volunteers make stray cats live a better life

C.“Stray” youngsters in Beijing need healing

D.Furry friends promote stress-free lives

28、To humans, roads mean connection and escape; to other life-forms, they spell death and division. A half-century ago, just 3 percent of land animals met their end on a road; by 2017 the number had greatly doubled.

Considering the outsize effects of roads, it’s perhaps surprising that they didn’t truly receive their scientific due until the late 20th century. In 1993, Richard Forman, a landscape ecologist, coined an English term: “road ecology,” defined loosely as the study of how “life changes for plants and animals with a road and traffic nearby.” As the 1990s wore on, road ecology gained steam.

Like most people, I at once cherish animals and think nothing of piloting a 3,000-pounddeath machine. One summer, in Alaska, I hit a songbird–a death I didn’t discover until I found the delicate splash of feathers the next day. I’d killed it unconsciously. But I could do nothing.

Road ecology offers one path through this thicket (灌木丛). North America and Europe constructed their road networks with little regard for how they would affect nature. Today, in theory, we know better. Road ecology has revealed the danger of thoughtless development and pointed us toward solutions. Over the last several decades, its practitioners have constructed bridges for bears, tunnels (隧道) for turtles. In Kenya, elephants move slowly beneath highways and railroads via passages as tall as two-story houses.

And road ecology has yielded more than crossings: We’ve also learned to map and protect the migrations of certain animals, to design roadsides that nourish bees and butterflies– proof that old mistakes need not be permanent.

Today we’re entering a period that might fairly be considered the golden age of road ecology. The coming years will undoubtedly be transformative ones for our road network. Still, whether we can ever truly undo the harms of our concrete-coated world is far less certain.

【1】What may be the reason for the doubled death number by 2017?

A．Road noises.

B．Traffic accidents.

C．Natural disasters.

D．Hunting activities.

【2】What did the author want to tell us by the experience in Alaska in Paragraph 3?

A．Songbirds were common in that area.

B．The songbird’s death was undervalued.

C．Driving a car was necessary for his job.

D．He was much troubled by the songbird.

【3】Which best describes the impact of road ecology?

A．Far-reaching.

B．One-sided.

C．Short-lived.

D．Unnoticeable.

【4】What is the most suitable title for the text?

A．How Roads Have Transformed the Natural World

B．What Measures Should Be Taken to Protect Animals

C．How Road Ecology Will Change the Future World

D．What Difficulties Humans face in Road Construction

29、Several factors can influence your first impression of someone, including their physical features, voice and speech, surrounding environment, etc. It takes time to get to know personal characteristics that really convey (传达) someone’s nature.【1】? These tips can help.

Stay conscious (有意识的) of body language

Body language can convey quite a bit about how you feel in a given situation. A few tips to consider: open up your posture (姿势); make some eye contact; and listen intently.【2】. If eye contact feels uncomfortable, try just focusing on your posture.

Show your interest

Expressing interest in what someone has to say can help boost your chances of making a good impression. Try a thoughtful comment that keeps the conversation moving and makes it clear you've been paying attention. 【3】. People generally want to know they can trust you.

Dress for the occasion

Previous research suggests that body language plays more of a part in first impressions than clothing. But your personal style can play a role, too. There’s nothing wrong with expressing yourself through your clothing. Just know that certain situations do call for a slightly more formal look.【4】.

Make small talk

【5】. But it can often pay off when it comes to leaving a positive impression. Even simple comments, like “I really like this new professor” or “Those are great shoes”, can start a conversation they'll remember later.

While a first impression can set the tone (基调) for future interactions, it’s also worth keeping in mind that first impressions are largely unconscious. Just approach every new meeting with kindness, compassion, and a willingness to grow.

A．What about them stand out to you right away

B．It’s all too easy to accidentally say something inconsiderate

C．And keep any comments or praise you offer honest and genuine

D．Besides, the “right” dress doesn’t always have to be fancy or new, either

E．Are you in search of ways to leave the most favorable first impression possible

F．You don’t need to do all of the above every time you’re interacting with someone

G．Small chat about the weather or other everyday topics can sometimes seem boring

30、I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And unless otherwise _________ a seat by the teacher, I always chose to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this _________ after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a _________ idea because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the _________ to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “_________ it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try.

Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the _________ of it! When I first started _________ the practice sessions. I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much less what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get _________ and take a shot at the wrong direction— which made me feel really stupid. _________, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to __________ on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not to be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know “just yet”.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the __________ and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the __________ part in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and make friends in the process— friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!

With my __________ self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from __________ in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, to raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t 100 per cent __________ whether I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
