26、When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.

Certainly, most of the world’s great religions （宗教） order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally （道德方面） right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.

First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil （恶行）. Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.

Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.

It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.

【1】What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A．Moral deeds of people.

B．Religious activities of the church.

C．Moral goodness of the giver.

D．Arguments on giving to beggars.

【2】What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed ?” in the second

paragraph?

A．People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.

B．Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.

C．We don’t meet with those who need help any more.

D．Now it is the government’s duty to help the beggars.

【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.

B．Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.

C．Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.

D．Some beggars have no excuse for begging.

【4】In theast paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion，because ______.

A．the cases can be so different

B．there are so many beggars

C．there is so much money wasted

D．there are so many different arguments

27、   A day in the life of a sun bear is what you might expect from the name：sunny.In its natural habitat，the sun bear spends over 80 percent of its active waking time in daylight.

But when disturbed by human activity，that changes dramatically.In areas where people are pushing into the sun bear’s habitat，the animals are spending 90 percent of their waking time after dark.Effectively，the threat of human presence is making the sun bear change into “the moon bear”.

Led by scientists at the University of California，Berkeley，the study found that human activity is driving scores of mammals to shift their activity from the daytime into the dark hours of the night.As many animals have already been forced out of their local habitats，others are attempting to avoid interaction with humans by separating themselves in time rather than in space.

For the work，the researchers examined the behaviors of 64 mammal species，including deer，tigers，boars，and，of course，sun bears.They observed increased nocturnal(夜间的) behavior in a large majority of them，with species that are naturally active during the day tending to shift their activity to after dark，and those that are naturally nocturnal becoming more so.The mammals affected ranged across body size，habitat type，region of the world，and diet.

Human activities of all sorts affect animals’ lives，including activities like hunting，agriculture and land development，harvesting local natural resources，even hiking or walking through wild areas.Sport hunting in the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe drove antelopes to spend more of their active waking hours at night，restricting their access to water.Similarly，hikers in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California made coyotes(郊狼) more nocturnal，forcing them to find new preys(猎物) among traditionally nocturnal animals.

The researchers warn that profound shifts in the natural behavior patterns of so many species disturb dynamics that have evolved over generations，leading to a series of unknown effects on the entire ecosystem.

【1】What did the study led by Berkeley find?

A.More animals separate themselves in space.

B.Human activity changes animals’ way of life.

C.Many animals were pushed out of their local habitats.

D.The sun bear spends over 80% waking time in daylight.

【2】What does the underlined word “that” refer to?

A.The sun bear. B.The waking time.

C.Human activity. D.The natural habitat.

【3】What does the author want to tell us in the text?

A.Human threat makes the sun bear nocturnal.

B.Animals are badly hurt by human presence.

C.Animals become more adaptable thanks to human.

D.Ecosystem may be reshaped due to human activity.

28、   At the age of 11, Peter Lynch started caddying(当球童) at Brae Burn Country Club in Newton, Mass. “It was better than a newspaper carrier, and much more profitable,” the Fidelity vice chairman recalls. He kept it up during the summers for almost a decade. “You get to know the course and can give the golf players advice about how to approach various holes,” he says. “Where else, at age 15 or 16, can you serve as a trusted adviser to high-powered people?”

One of those people was George Sullivan, then president of Fidelity’s funds, who was so impressed with Lynch’s smarts that he hired him in 1966. “There were about 75 applicants for 3 job openings,” Lynch says now. “But I was the only one who had caddied for the president for 10 years.”

In between caddying and managing money, Lynch went to Boston College on a scholarship from a program called the Francis Ouimet Fund. Named after the 1913 winner of the U.S. Open, the fund launched in 1949 which is open to Massachusetts kids only. Ouimet executive director Robert Donovan says, “Help with college is a logical extension of friendly relation between golfers and their favorite caddies, because there is a close tie to train up them to be excellent that happens between the players and the kids who carry their golf poles. And for the teens, caddying is all about being around successful role models.”

It is obvious that caddies who are finally successful include all kinds of outstanding personnel, from actor Bill Murray, to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, to former GE chairman and CEO Jack Welch.

Of course, the great number of financial giants who caddied in their youth might be coincidence, but Dick Connolly thinks not. “Caddying life teaches you a lot about business, and about life,” he says. “You learn to show up early and look people in the eye when you shake their hand, and you learn how to read people -- including who’s likely to cheat and who isn’t.”      Connolly is a longtime investment advisor at Morgan Stanley’s Boston office, a former Ouimet scholarship student and, along with Peter Lynch and Roger Altman, one of the program’s biggest supporters. He wants to share the most important lesson he learned on the links, so he says: “One golfer I caddied for told me that if you want to succeed in any field -- golf or business -- you have to spend a lot of lonely hours, either practicing or working, when you’d rather be partying with your friends. That’s true, and it stuck with me.”

【1】Which of the following may Peter Lynch agree about caddying?

A．He could have a relaxing job as a caddie.

B．He could make more money from the golf players.

C．His duty was to advise the players how to play golf.

D．His caddying experiences contributed to his later career.

【2】Why was the Francis Ouimet Fund set up to support Massachusetts kids only?

A．Because of the advice from the rich golf players.

B．Because of those giants with caddying experiences.

C．Because of the great success the caddies have achieved.

D．Because of the friendly relation between golfers and their caddies.

【3】According to Dick Connolly, caddying experience in your youth_____.

A．helps you learn to live with loneliness

B．teaches you a lot about business and life

C．makes it possible to meet with great people

D．offers you chances to communicate with others

【4】Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?

A．Legend of Peter Lynch.

B．An introduction of Golf Caddying.

C．Golf Caddying into Future Success.

D．Five Giants with Caddying Experiences.

29、“Birds” and “airports” are two words that, paired together，don’t normally paint the most harmonious picture. So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that is for birds.

Described as the world’s first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary(保护区）in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course,not an actual airport. Rather，it's a wetland preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds-even thousands-of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australian Flyway. Over 50 species of migratory (迁徙的）water birds，some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.

Located on a former landfill site，the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers.(Half a million visitors are expected annually.) However，instead of duty-free shopping，the main attraction for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin’s newest airport will be a green-roofed education and research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.

“The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.” Adrian McGregor of an Australian landscape architecture firm explained of the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city---China’s fourth most populous----that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs•

【1】The underlined phrase “non-egg-laying creatures” in Paragraph 3 refers to?

A．Visitors.

B．Designers.

C．Endangered water birds.

D．Planes.

【2】What do we know about the airport according to the passage?

A．People cannot watch birds up close here.

B．It is located on a 150-acre landfill site.

C．It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve.

D．It provides migratory birds with food and shelter.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．The airport will become a permanent home for birds.

B．Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future.

C．Tianjin’s air quality will improve thanks to the airport.

D．Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people.

【4】What is this passage mainly about?

A．Airports shut down and open up.

B．China is to open the first Bird Airport.

C．Airports turn into green lungs.

D．Birds are no longer enemies to airports.

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。

From kindergarten to high school Jimmy, Patrick, Devon, and I had been growing together, almost forming a solid small group. At that time, others admired us very much and seemed difficult to join us.

We supported each other and spent all our time together. One day, at lunchtime, Jimmy, Patrick, Devon, and I began our regular routine of our lunches. I glanced across the busy cafeteria and saw the new student, Joel. He was holding his plate and waiting in lines.

He was tall, dark and handsome. He looked fresh and neat in a clean white shirt.

Patrick noticed him too. “Why’s the new kid dressed like the headmaster?” he asked.

“Joel’s cool. He’s in my English and history classes,” I said, I was about to offer an explanation, but Devon and Jimmy were beginning to laugh.

However, I kept the truth that Joel and I had become friends when we worked on a project together. Since Joel was a new student, not only in his class, but at the school, I made his time there much more pleasant. Since I was a new student, not only in his class, but at the school, he made my time there much more pleasant, too. He was really funny and I knew that he liked me. We discovered that we were both enthusiastic readers—something I would never admit to Patrick, Jimmy, and Devon. At the time, Joel was running for the president of the school book club.

I saw that Joel was walking toward us. “Don’t do it,” I thought, but in seconds he was at our table. My friends raised their eyebrows. Jimmy, Devon and Patrick piled their backpacks on the table and chairs so that there was no space left for another person to sit down. Patrick said, “I don’t think we have room.”

This awkward situation froze the air. I could feel Joel looking at me, but I stared at my lunch as if it contained precious pearls of wisdom instead of rice and beans.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

After a long, uncomfortable pause, Joel left.

As I stared at the announcement, I knew I needed to apologize to Joel.
