26、   I’d been at Camp Eggleton for only two days before I got my nickname(绰号) ,Screaming Toad(尖叫的蛤蟆).

When we were on our first nature walk, a tree frog dropped onto my shirt from the branches above. I screamed. I didn't even know I could make a sound like that. Most kids laughed it off and forgot about it. But Stan wouldn’t let it go.

Three days later, Mr. Matt told us we would play a game. The two-person team to find the most treasures hidden in the woods gets something cold. Thoughts of ice cream froze on our brains.

Mr. Matt started reading off pairs of names. My nerves(神经) got completely fried when he said, “And finally, Jay and Stan.”

“If the mosquitoes(蚊子) are biting you, just ask Screaming Toad to eat them for you.” Stan called to the group. One kid laughed, but most of them were already concentrating on looking for treasures.

Then I had an idea,“You know, Stan, if we split up, we’ll have a better chance of finding stuff.” Stan shrugged (耸肩)and walked down the path alone.

Ten minutes later, I heard something that reminded me of myself a few days ago. I ran toward the sound. Stan was jumping around like a monkey, screaming and yelling: “Ants! Ants!”

I led him into a mud puddle(泥坑). He was surprised at first, then he must have realized why I was doing it. The itch(痒) was going away and so were the ants.

“I guess you’re going to have a pretty good story for everyone later.”Stan said worriedly.

“Yeah, I guess so. You’ll probably be known as Dancing Ant from now on.”

That night, we all sat around the campfire. I could see Stan’s worry as clear as daylight. He was waiting for it. But I never said anything. I knew how it felt to be laughed at.

The next day was Game Day. When I was picked for a basketball team, someone called, “No fair! Screaming Toad’s a natural Jumper!”

Stan yelled out, “Knock it off. His name is Jay.”

【1】Why did Joy get his nicknames？

A.He signed up for Camp Eggleton.

B.He shouted loudly when the frog fell on his clothes.

C.Stan gave him the nicknames because of his bravery.

D.The other boys thought it cool to be called like that.

【2】Which word can replace the underlined phrase “split up” in Paragraph 6?

A.United. B.Separated.

C.Apologised. D.Shared.

【3】Why did Jay bring Stan to the mud puddle?

A.To make Stan calm down. B.To give him a chance to say sorry.

C.To drive away the ants and the itch. D.To prevent Stan from hurting himself.

【4】What can we learn from the story?

A.Actions speak louder than words.

B.Everyone’s efforts are very important.

C.A good beginning makes a good ending.

D.Don’t do to others what you don’t want done to yourself.

27、Growing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not to be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a carpet as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?

“Oversharing” has become associated with social media, but it isn't exclusive to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and meet x k w someone. Within five minutes they have revealed private details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage advisor Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social media?

Dr. Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学），says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. It seems that searching for sympathy by oversharing is generally considered as negative rather than the cry for help it could really be.

However, Dr. Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become-provided that the posts that we bang out are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense-if your date is going “that well", would you really have time to share a photo with text?

So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probably be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.

【1】What does the underlined word “exclusive" in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Unique.

B．Similar.

C．Relevant.

D．Fundamental.

【2】Why do some people prefer oversharing at parties?

A．To draw others' attention.

B．To satisfy others' curiosity.

C．To remove negative feelings.

D．To develop good relationships.

【3】Which of the following may Dr. Hand agree with?

A．Sharing more details online can attract more sympathy.

B．Oversharing negative experiences is equal to crying for help.

C．Sharing negative posts can't help one become socially attractive.

D．Oversharing isn't likely to happen online when things go wrong.

【4】According to the text, what should be avoided for online sharing?

A．Reflecting on past bad manners.

B．Showing a great many expensive goods.

C．Writing a recipe for a balanced breakfast.

D．Recording unforgettable moments with friends.

29、   Before war and time destroy more of our important cultural sites, we need to save them in 3-D digital libraries. Across 163 different countries, 1,000 natural and cultural historic places make up our most precious human heritage, which UNESCO calls World Heritage Sites.

We lose a little of that heritage every day. War, climate change and pollution have a bad effect, as do wind and rain. The $4 million a year that UNESCO spends on preservation is not nearly enough to take care of even the four dozen sites considered at approaching risk of being lost forever. Now there’s a better choice. New digital-conservation technologies let us hold on to them, at least virtually(虚拟的), through 3-D scanning, modeling and digital storage. Such projects can be accomplished through cooperation between governments, universities, industry and non-profit organizations.

To make a 3-D model, a laser(激光) scanner bounces light off an object and records the results. To reproduce every corner and opening, the scanner collects overlapping(重叠的) images from all possible angles. A computer then sews them together into one large surface image and draws lines from one point to another to create a wire-frame model. High-resolution digital cameras add color and texture. When fully put together, the models can be viewed, printed or operated.

These scans do more than preserve a memory in a database. With highly accurate measurements, archaeologists(考古学家) can find hidden passages or reveal ancient engineering tricks. School kids can explore places they might otherwise never see. And when a site is destroyed, the scans can even be used to reconstruct what was there. That has already happened for one World Heritage Site, the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda. Built of wood in 1882, they were destroyed by fire in 2010 and rebuilt in 2014, based in large part on 3-D models made in 2009. More than 100 World Heritage Sites have been already preserved as 3-D models, and conservationists are racing to record as many more as possible.

【1】How does the author show the necessity for 3-D digital libraries in the first two paragraphs?

A.By listing the threats to our human heritage.

B.By introducing some damaged historical sites.

C.By quoting some experts’ views on heritage protection.

D.By explaining UNESCO’s research on World Heritage Sites.

【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A.The function of a laser scanner. B.The reflection of light off an object.

C.The process of making a 3-D model. D.The development of 3-D digital technology.

【3】What do we know about the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda?

A.It is metal-framed. B.It is still in its original condition.

C.It was once destroyed in an earthquake. D.It was reconstructed thanks to 3-D models.

【4】What does the author intend to say through this text?

A.Never ignore the destructive power of war.

B.Take action to reduce pollution in historic places.

C.Take advantage of 3-D technology to keep history.

D.Invest more money to preserve World Heritage Sites.
