26、   Like many families in Sanyati, a small countryside town in western Zimbabwe, Tatenda’s family does not have a television. One day after school, Tatenda arrived home tired and noticed something unusual in the house. “At first, I thought Dad had bought a television set, but when my mother said it was a computer, I was disappointed,” 11-year-old Tatenda said. “Nobody in our neighborhood knew how to operate a computer.”

For almost two weeks, the gift lay untouched in the house. But things changed when Amina, a young family friend from Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital, came to visit. Amina knew all about computers and was a good teacher, too.

At first, Tatenda always pressed the wrong button. But he kept on going because he was eager to learn. After three weeks, Tatenda mastered some computer basics.

Meanwhile, Tatenda’s friends wondered what had happened to him, because Tatenda always had an excuse for going back home.

One day, Tatenda’s three friends surprised him at home. When they arrived, they couldn’t believe what they saw—a computer and Tatenda operating it.

After that surprise visit, Tatenda taught them how to use the computer. It wasn’t long before the neighborhood kids wanted to learn, too! Tatenda worried. The computer began to experience problems because the kids were pressing too many buttons. So he began charging for lessons. But those whose parents did not have money paid with chickens or goats.

With the money earned from teaching, Tatenda has bought a television and radio for his family. And he plans to buy a new computer. He also plans to keep on teaching. The people of Sanyati couldn’t be more pleased. Tatenda has single-handedly introduced computers to his town and is simply known there as “Teacher”.

【1】Tatenda was disappointed with the unusual thing in his house for ________.

A. he didn’t need anything B. he thought it was useless

C. he had had the same one D. he was very tired that day

【2】What can we learn about Amina?

A. She bought a computer for Tatenda. B. She was Tatenda’s school teacher.

C. She was invited to teach Tatenda. D. She offered Tatenda much help.

【3】When Tatenda’s three friends saw him operating a computer, they were very ________.

A. calm B. angry

C. proud D. surprised

【4】The text mainly tells readers ________.

A. a boy teaches his townspeople computer skills

27、Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales.

The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained €10,000 with a cutting from the Braunschtveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名) envelopes, each containing €10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.

The envelopes keep coming, and so far at least €190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper’s own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschweiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of €500 inside, with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.

"I was driving when I heard the news.”Claudia Neumann, the boy’s mother, told DerSpiegel magazine.“I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless.”

The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.

“For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing," Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.

Henning Noske, the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung, said:“Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know.” However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city’s hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.

【1】The Braunschweiger Zeitung is the name of_____________ .

A．a church

D．a magazine

【2】Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?

C．His mother felt astonished at the donation.

D．The money will be used for his education.

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that____________.

A．the donation will continue to come

B．the donator is a rich old man

C．the donation comes from the newspaper

D．the donator will soon be found out

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Money Is Raised by the Newspaper

B．Newspaper Distributes Money to the needy

C．Robin Hood Returns to the City

D．Unknown Hero Spreads Love in Envelopes

29、   For the first time, a causal link has been established between climate(气候) change and the timing of a natural event-the appearance of the common brown butterfly.

Although there have been strong connections between global warming and changes in the timing of events such as animal migration and flowering, it has been hard to show a cause-and-effect link. This is what Michael Kearney and Natalie Briscoe of the University of Melbourne, Australia, have now done.

The researchers compared temperature changes in Melbourne-where the butterfly is common-with recorded observations of the first brown butterfly to be seen in the spring since the 1940s.With each of the past ten years, the butterflies appeared 1.6 days earlier and Melbourne heated by 0.14℃. Overall, the butterfly now appears on average 10.4 days before it did in the 1940s.

The pair are confident in the relationship for two reasons. First, they placed eggs of the butterfly, in special boxes where temperature could be controlled and found that each larval stage had a different response to warmer-than-normal conditions. The egg, which is laid in late summer, and the first larval stage do well at high temperatures, says Kearney. The second to the fifth stages occur in winter and can't survive high temperatures. The knock- on effect is that the larval pupates earlier and the butterfly appears sooner. Second, they made a mathematical model combining these physiological effects of temperature on development with climate data. The model precisely matched the observed changes in butterfly emergence date.

The researchers used several climate models to find out what is likely to have caused the rise in Melbourne's temperature, and ruled out the possibility that natural weather events could account for the warming.

【1】What is the relationship between the rise in temperature and the butterfly appearance?

A.They are linked in a difficult way.

B.They are related in a cause-and-effect way.

C.They have a direct relationship with each other.

D.They have no connection with each other.

【2】Why were the researchers confident about their finding?

A.They had used the most advanced equipment in the world.

B.Their finding got support from the textbooks.

C.The results of their study is based on expert judgement.

D.Their experiment proved their previous guessing.

【3】What does the underlined part "The knock-on effect" in paragraph 4 mean?

A.The effect caused by the thing that happened before.

B.The effect of things that happened at the same time.

C.The effect of one thing causing the other long after.

D.The effect of one thing causing the other quickly.

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A.The exact reason for Melbourne's temperature rise is very clear.

B.Climate models cannot exactly show climate change in history.

C.The timing of the butterfly appearance will be earlier with increased warming.

D.The rise in temperature decides the possibility of natural weather events.
