27、In mid-January, Cape Town officials announced that the world-class South African city of four million residents would run out of water on April 12. The date, nicknamed “Day Zero,” has since been postponed multiple times, thanks to the intense conservation efforts by locals, a sharp reduction in agricultural water usage, and a 10 billion-liter donation from the private reservoirs(水库) of the Groenland Farmers Association.

The city now has enough water to sustain the current level of usage until July 9, giving residents hope that the rainy season, which begins in June, will be more regular than has been the case lately.

Four years ago, Cape Town’s water disaster would have seemed impossible given that the city’s six dam, which can hold 230 billion liters of water, were filled to the brim. However, three years of low rainfall – a third of normal levels – and the ever-increasing population, have reduced the dams to puddles.

In an attempt to avoid Day Zero, the government has imposed a strict 50-liter daily limit for all households. Residents are being urged to reduce their water usage by making small changes like taking shorter showers and reusing bathing water to flush toilets. Those that use more have to pay heavy fines.

When Day Zero strikes, a million homes or about 75 percent of the city will lose access to running water. Residents will instead have to wait in line at the over 200 water distribution centers established around the city to obtain 25 liters a day.

Though conservation measures will help in the short run, only nature can solve the problem. If the city gets enough rainfall during its winter season from June to August, it will provide much-needed relief. However, the local officials are not sure it will happen.

【1】What does the underlined word “brim” in the second paragraph probably mean?

A. bottom   B. top edge

C. extended part   D. central part

【2】What effort is being made now to avoid Day Zero?

A. Limiting the daily usage of water to 25 liters.

B. Establishing 200 water distribution centers in the city.

C. Reducing the city population as much as possible

D. Restricting water usage in agriculture significantly

【3】What does the last paragraph mainly want to convey?

A. Tomorrow is still unknown.   B. Current efforts will pay off.

C. Man is at the mercy of nature.   D. It’s time to make joint efforts.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To inform us of the severe situation of water shortage in Cape Town.

B. To appeal to the world to come together to help people Cape Town.

C. To explain the cause of the severe water shortage in Cape Town.

D. To applaud the efforts by people in Cape Town to address water shortage.

28、While walking home from school, Jenny saw a small kitten on the street. It was only a few weeks old, and it was crying. Jenny bent (弯腰) down and looked at the kitten. It was weak, and it had trouble walking. Its mother wasn’t anywhere around. Seeing the poor kitten made Jenny sad.

“I can’t just leave it here,” she thought. “But I can’t take it home, either. Mother doesn’t like cats.” Then, Jenny got an idea. She could take the kitten to a vet (an animal doctor). Jenny placed the kitten inside a small box.

She brought it to an animal clinic (诊所) near her house.

“Can you take care of this kitten?” she asked the doctor.

“Sure, we can,” he said.

“But I don’t have any money.”

“That’s OK. We’ll help the kitten feel better. Then, we’ll give it to somebody.”

Jenny was happy when she left the clinic. She knew the kitten would be all right.

【1】Jenny saw a small ________.

A．cat

B．dog

C．pig

D．chicken

【2】This small kitten was ________.

A．strong

B．dying

C．hard to walk

D．interesting

【3】Jenny took the kitten to ________.

A．her home

B．a hospital

D．a nurse

29、With so many devices to keep track of, it’s easy to forget to charge your wearable. But what if your skin could power your smart watch? Thanks to a team in China, this could actually happen. Scientists have developed a small, flexible device that transforms heat from human skin into electrical power.

The device is a thermoelectric generator (TEG) that uses heat difference to create power. Researchers use the difference between the warmer body temperature and the relatively cooler surrounding environment to generate power. Unlike traditional generators that use the energy of motion to produce power, TEGs have no moving parts,making them primarily repair free.

Unfortunately, TEGs are quite rigid — they can only stand up to fewer than 200 cases of bending — not great for a wearable device. The team settled this problem by attaching the key electrical components to a more bouncy and more sticky polyurethane (聚氨酯) material. During testing, the device survived at least 10,000 cases of bending without affecting performance. The researchers also partially replaced the rare metal bismuth TEGs typically rely on with a magnesium-based material, which will cost less in mass production.

For the prototype (原型机), the team connected an LED to a TEG band measuring 4.5 cm by 1.1 cm. The band was then wrapped around the wrist of someone whose body temperature measured at 92.9 "F in normal environmental conditions. With the difference in temperature,the generator transformed the body heat and used it to light up the LED. The team believes that with the correct voltage converter (电压转换器) the generator can energize electronics similar to smart watches and pulse sensors.

There’s an increasing demand for greener energy, and TEGs fit right in, for they can turn wasted heat into power. While, for example, solar energy can only be generated when there's sun, TEGs can produce power in many situations — as long as there’s a temperature difference.

【1】Why have researchers developed the new device?

A．To use it as a reminder to charge.

B．To carry the smart watch comfortably.

C．To replace the battery in the wearable.

D．To protect the skin from being damaged.

【2】How does the TEG differ from the traditional generator?

A．It saves repair costs.

B．It needs no extra spare parts.

C．It is suitable for any environment.

D．It is more effective in producing power.

【3】What does Paragraph 3 tell us about the researchers?

A．How they tested out the device.

B．Why they designed flexible TEGs.

C．Why they improved the chosen materials.

D．How they made the device lasting and low-cost.

【4】What can we expect of the new TEGs in the future?

A．They might go out of style quickly.

B．They will speed up energy production.

C．They could take the place of solar energy.

D．They will be promising in powering wearables.

30、Hearing the Olympics were coming to Vancouver, I decided to go for its voluntary work. I’d forgotten what it was like to put myself out there to make friends.

During my second month of nursing school, our professor gave us a quiz with a question: “What is the first name of the woman, who cleans the school?” Surely this was some kind of joke. I 【1】 (see) the cleaning woman before, but how could I know her name? I handed in my paper, 【2】 (leave) the last question blank.

They all deserve your attention and care.”

I've never forgotten that lesson.

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。

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. The doctors didn't hold too much hope for their recovery. “What both of them need is a miracle,” they said. One man's bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. The companionship grew stronger as time went by.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. These periods gave him something to hold on to while he went through the pain of treatment.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the amazing scenes. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window described it with vivid words.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

One morning, the nurse found the man by the window lying lifelessly on the bed.
