26、   A handheld language translator can cost a lot of money, so it is important to choose the best one.Some features (特征) to consider include its size, battery (电池) life, and ability to translate.

First, most people who use this type of translator are travelling, so having a smaller one is important.

【1】 If the machine cannot work for an entire day, then it will not be very good as problems might arise in translation.

【2】 Some translators are advanced enough to work with speech recognition, but most work with cither typed input or written input. How the resulting translation is shown is also important. A program may be able to play an audio clip (音频) of the translation, or it may only show it on the translator’s screen. 【3】 If one cannot read what the screen says, one will not be able to make much use of the dictionary.

Many people are drawn to translators that can translate between many languages. This feature is truly impressive. 【4】 A translator that works with only two languages may not have as many choices, but it is often more detailed and accurate.

One final thing to consider is that many phones now have the features to function as translators. These programs are often much more inexpensive and require no additional technology. 【5】

A. Another feature to consider is battery life.

B. One can type the contents to translate by keyboard.

C. 35 languages are supported, covering over 200 countries.

D. There are different input styles for handheld language translators.

E. However, it is somewhat rare that a person will use that many languages.

F. Looking at the programs, one may find a handheld translator unnecessary.

G. In that case, one must make sure that one can use the resulting information.

27、   Compared to other causes of natural disasters, volcanoes offer clues only when they are about to erupt. Now, however, developments in monitoring systems have allowed scientists to develop sensors to detect and forecast eruptions more accurately.

University of Cambridge volcanologist Marie Edmonds says that scientists are now able to use very accurate sensors to monitor the gases volcanoes give out, which can give clues on the location of the magma. The sensors help with prediction because different gases are released at different stages of an eruption. When magma rises, pressure is released along with gases. Carbon dioxide is released early on and then, as the magma goes higher, Sulphur dioxide is released. The ratio of the two gases is used to detect the location of magma relative to the surface, telling researchers the coming of the eruption.

Edmonds is connected to an international group known as the Deep Carbon Observatory that has worked to put new gas sensors on fifteen of the most active and dangerous volcanoes to improve the forecasting of various types of eruptions. The gas sensors continually measure water vapor, sulphur dioxide, and carbon dioxide. They are placed inside large boxes with surface antennae and buried underground. Advances in electronics have increased their accuracy and lowered their cost, allowing more of them to be used worldwide.

Putting these sensors atop active volcanoes is dangerous. Scientists wear reflective suits that protect against heat, plus gas masks for protection from dangerous gases. They sometimes hike long distances in remote areas to reach a site. However, according to Edmonds, the work they do to save people’s lives makes a dangerous job worth it. She enjoys doing something that helps people.

Edmonds’ team has also attached sensors to a certain plane to measure gases released from a Papua New Guinea volcano for a short time, a technique developed to gather “snapshots” of the activity. These snapshots help researchers to better understand activities that lead to eruptions.

【1】How do sensors detect and predict volcanic eruptions?

A.By sending warnings to researchers. B.By testing different gases released.

C.By measuring the heat underground. D.By studying the surrounding gases.

【2】What do we know about the gas sensors?

A.They should be attached to the magma. B.They are available around the world.

C.They become more accurate and expensive. D.They can check various types of eruptions.

【3】Why is it risky to place sensors atop active volcanoes?

A.Active volcanoes may erupt at any time. B.It’s hard to find the top of volcanoes.

C.Scientists are short of enough suits and masks. D.There is heat and dangerous gases

【4】What can the snapshots do?

A.Predict volcanic eruptions earlier. B.Attract people’s attention to volcanoes.

C.Collect more information for researchers D.Avoid the danger of the researchers’ work.

29、Becoming a real runner

I would never use the word “athletic” to describe myself. To me, athletes are people who really enjoy working out. I remember crying in middle school when I had to run a mile during gym class. I huffed and puffed as I jogged. As I grew up, I would go to the gym, but I never enjoyed working out. That, I thought, was for real runners.

In June 2017, my friend sent me an email that would forever change my attitude towards running. He was training for a 200-mile relay (接力赛) and wanted me to be on his team. I would run three legs between four and six miles each over the course of two days. Figuring that I would never again have the chance to work with some top runners, I immediately agreed, and started running outside to prepare.

That first run was hard. I purposefully avoided Central Park in order to stay away from real runners. After a few blocks, I was already winded, and ran the rest of the way home. I called my mom, choked up, to say I had no hope at all of running this relay. But she encouraged me to keep at it, so I didn't quit. I went from running four miles a week to eight within one month before my advanced training began.

I was frightened going into the first training session with the team as everyone else was super “athletic”. We ran for five miles, and I was significantly slower. However, my teammates were so supportive that I felt the runner’s high, which I had never believed existed.

One day, about two weeks into training, my ankle gave out while I was running in Central Park. I was diagnosed with a stress fracture (应力性骨折). The doctor told me to stop running for two months. It took me a while to face the fact that I was out of the race. My doctor told me that he too had once been struck down with a stress fracture, and the following year, he beat his best running time in a half-marathon. That brought me hope.

I made it through the next two months by picturing myself running again. Just yesterday, for the first time since that fateful day, I took my outdoor run with my physical therapist. I mentioned that I might run a half-marathon the next year. Now I wake up excited for the days I get to run. Maybe I am a “real runner” after all.

【1】According to the article, when did the author start to feel passion for running?

A．After she got into the habit of working out.

B．After she got the courage to run outdoors on her own.

C．After she ran with some top runners and got their encouragement.

D．After she broke her ankle in training and stayed in bed for two months.

【2】The underlined word in the passage refers to her doctor’s _________.

A．helpful advice.

B．immediate treatment.

C．experience in the marathon.

D．personal experience with an injury.

【3】What can we infer from the article about the author?

A．She didn’t take the relay seriously.

B．She had a strict and overprotective mother.

C．She felt disappointed about withdrawing from the race.

D．She would have expected to run a half-marathon if she had won the race.

【4】The author’s purpose of writing the article was to _________.

A．urge readers to exercise regularly.

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。

My parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells corny jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.

While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, right then and there, my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”

Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.

“Um,” I said on our way home, “are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” “I know volunteering is important,” I said, “but couldn’t you help out in Tex and Indi’s kindergarten instead?” She laughed, “Don’t be silly. We will have fun!”

“OK, fellas!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”

I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest snowflake hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years back, when I did some theater in college. Here goes!”

Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or an assembly, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself — and me!!!

But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.
