26、Just finishing loading his car, my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen. “I guess filling my thermos (保温瓶) is all I have left to do,and then I’m off.” Down the drain (下水道) went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.

With a nostalgic (怀旧的) look on his face, he softly said: “Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom.” The tone in his voice was so tender as he spoke of my mother, who is sadly no longer with us.

“Oh, honey, I know she’s watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face,” I responded, tears in my eyes.

One morning years ago when we were leaving, mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos. Mom then casually said, “Jerry, if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while, your coffee would stay hot for longer then.” With her simple suggestion, his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense, well, of course it would! He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water. Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee. Mom smiled as Jerry did so.

Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact that will never be forgotten. She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.

The lasting memories don’t necessarily come from major moments in life. Memories are often made during those small, ordinary moments. Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones!

27、Earlier this year I traveled to Turkana in Kenya. I was there to take pictures of the “broken food system”.

As a special visitor, I was greeted with songs and dances. The locals used to sing and dance all the time but now Turkana is silent and has been for some years. No one is singing or dancing any more because they have no food, nothing to celebrate. Many of them are surviving on one handful of corn a day and water, which they can get just every two days.

I met Tede Lokapelo, a local farmer who described the experience of a six-year drought (干旱). Tede used to have 200 goats, but now he has only seven left. He told me that this drought has taught him a hard lesson: It is too difficult to keep animals. He lives on animals. His traditional way of life has been completely destroyed(毁坏) now. Without the food aid (援助) they got, Tede is certain that they would starve because there are no other sources to feed themselves left.

Sadly, the same can be heard in almost any developing country around the world. Almost one billion people go to bed hungry each night. The food system is broken. In Turkana, not enough rain has fallen since 2005. They measure rainfall not in days or weeks but in minutes. More and more people are being forced to rely on food aid, but people like Tede don’t want food aid. They want to work and create their own economy. It’s our responsibility to fix the system so that they can support themselves.

Drought is impossible to avoid but famine (饥荒) is manmade, and unless enough money is provided to develop a basic infrastructure (基础设施) for people in the area, thousands more lives are sure to be lost.

【1】Why do people in Turkana no longer sing or dance any more?

A．Because they have no time.

B．Because they are tired of them.

C．Because they are always hungry.

D．Because they have other interesting things to do.

【2】Which of the following is NOT true about Tede Lokapelo?

A．He raised 200 goats in the past.

B．He has never received any food aid.

C．His traditional way of life has been changed.

D．He found it hard to raise animals after the drought.

【3】According to the text, ________.

A．about one billion people can’t get enough food each day

B．it has never rained since 2005 in Turkana

C．more and more people are willing to rely on food aid

D．what people in Turkana really want is the food aid

【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To show drought is serious in the world.

B．To tell readers the serious situation of food shortage.

C．To ask more people to give food aid to people in Kenya.

D．To make it clear how to help people suffering from drought.

28、A culture guide named Persephone welcomes travelers to Greece and takes them through a famous cave in the north. The guide moves smoothly around the underground area and can talk about it in 33 languages. It can also answer 33 questions, but only in the Greek language.

Persephone is intelligent and it is a human-sized robot. The robot has been in operation for about a month at the Alistrati Cave. Persephone guides visitors through the first 150 meters of the cave that is open to the public. For the remaining 750 meters, a human guide takes over.

The idea of creating the robot guide was put forward by Nikos Kartalis, who is the scientific director at the Alistrati site. He had this idea when he saw one on television guiding visitors at an art show. Persephone was built by the National Technology and Research Foundation and cost about 139, 000dollars. “People who once visited are coming back to see the robot guide,” said Nikos, “Many foreign visitors couldn’t believe Greece had the ability to build a robot and use it as a guide in the cave.”

The robot, with a white body, black head, and two bright eyes, moves on wheels. It guides visitors to the first three of eight stops along the walkway. It can do two more stops, but it is too slow for the tour. Persephone’s creators are considering ways to increase her speed. The robot begins the tour by saying: “My name is Persephone. I am the daughter of the goddess Demeter and the wife of Pluto. I welcome you to the Alistrati Cave.”

Evdokia Karafera is a human guide who partners with Persephone. “It is helpful, because it speaks many languages,” she said. “There’s just a little delay in the touring. Most find it fascinating, especially the children, and find it interesting that it speaks many languages. Robots, at some point in the future, will take over many jobs. But l believe they cannot take the place of humans everywhere.”

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

A．Greece.

B．The cave.

C．The question.

D．Persephone.

【2】What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?

A．The outline of the robot.

B．The function of the robot.

C．The creation of the robot.

D．The operation of the robot.

【3】What is the disadvantage of Persephone?

A．It stops working halfway.

B．It can only greet tourists in Greek.

C．It mostly amuses children.

D．It moves very slowly.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Robot Guides Visitors Through Greek Cave

B．Robots will Replace Human Tour Guides

C．Greece Displays a Culture Guide Robot

D．Greek Cave Attracts More ‘Tourists

29、   Marshall McLuhan used the term "global village” in his book Understanding Media to describe how mass media in particular the telegraph and radio, was making the world spatially smaller by allowing people from all comers of the globe access to the same information. In contemporary Limes the term “global village” most commonly refers to the internet, which takes it one step further: now people around the world can not only access the same information, they can also access each other, immediately. Seemingly worldwide electronic communication is bringing us all together under one global cultural umbrella” promoting mutual understanding and hopefully reducing conflict. Although it is attractive to believe this is the case, in fact the ease with which people can now connect electronically has only changed the ways in which people interact, not the basic form of those interactions. The world is no more a village than it ever was.

The term "village” brings to mind a community that has held together for mutual protection. Members of a village have a vested interest in the survival of other members: there is strength in numbers, and if your crops fail, chances are that your neighbor will help you until the next harvest. Since the introduction of the internet, the idea of a community no longer necessarily means everyone lives right next door to each other, but the basic idea of unity and mutual care remains. People who connect online do so because they are interested in similar things: they are somehow alike, just as people in real villages are often related through family or industry.

【1】What does the underlined word "it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A.Telegraph. B.Radio. C.Media. D.Internet.

【2】How many functions does worldwide electronic communication have on the surface?

A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.

【3】Why do people connect online?

A.Because their parents ask them to do so. B.Because they are different from each other.

C.Because they are all fond of similar things. D.Because they are interested in different things.

【4】Where may the passage probably come from?

A.A news report. B.A fiction book.

C.An ad website. D.A science newspaper.

30、Very often, it seems that the athletes we watch on TV effortlessly win the game. However, it’s _________ to remember that things don’t always go their way. At one time or another, everyone has a bad game or becomes _________. Here two top athletes tell us about a time when they had to _________ back and what they _________ from the experience.

Tomorrow-represents hope

Every day, on the way to and from school I passed by a children's hospital. One morning, as I was hurrying to school, I noticed a child staring out of a small window on the first floor. The next minute I accidentally tripped, leaving my feet in the air. As I slowly pulled myself up and dusted myself off, I looked up again and saw the child laughing. In spite of my situation, I was pleased to have made someone laugh. I bowed as though I were a performer. The child clapped and waved at me, As I stepped closer, I saw that the girl’s head was bald (光秃的), a sign that she was a cancer patient. I quickly waved one last time to her before making my way to school.

The next morning and the next, I looked out for the little girl and waved to her, jigging (蹦跳) just to make her laugh. I thought about her and wondered what her life must be like. “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, Creeps (爬行) in this petty pace from day to day.” Those lines from a Shakespearean poem I had learned in school came to my mind. Was that how the child lived from day to day?

I felt the urge to visit the child. I went to the hospital and looked for the room facing the road. I found the little girl. She was thin and pale. When she saw me, her eyes widened with recognition and she welcomed me with a shy smile. I talked to her a bit and learned her name, Suki. The nurse who saw me talking to her later told me that Suki was a leukemia patient. Her navy officer father was a single parent and was on duty outside the country. The nurse encouraged me to visit Suki so that she would not be so lonesome. As I was leaving, Suki called tome, “Tomorrow?” I understood and said, “Yes, tomorrow.”

注意：

1.续写的词数应为150左右；

After that, I dropped in on Suki after school every day.
