26、   Nasr Majid started hunting this fall at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (保护区) on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in USA. He’s one of the relatively few new hunters who officials hope will help stop a nearly four-decade decline nationally in what has become a hobby for fewer than 5 percent of Americans.

Natural resources and wildlife officials in Maryland are encouraging hunting of deer, turkeys and some other wild animals, which is believed to be good for the environment. Without hunting, they say, sika deer will overpopulate the wildlife refuge and they’ll overeat the bushes and other plants that provide important habitat for birds. On the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, hunting is also important to prevent the spread of diseases such as Lyme.

In many families, the hunting tradition has been handed down for generations. But as longtime sportsmen age and children lose interest, the number of hunters in the United States fell by 2 million, from 2011 to 2018, to about 11 million.

“Everything is changing. Kids are growing up in front of video games and computers instead of going hunting.” said Chris Markin, a hunting specialist for the state natural resources department. “Adults usually focus on working and providing for their families. Those pressures are preventing many other potential hunters from going out, and from raising the next generation of hunters.”

To avoid such a decline, a new approach is needed. Government agencies and nonprofit groups are now launching mentoring (指导) programs to train more hunters, which not only helps preserve an industry and a culture but also means more protection for wildlife and their habitats through deer population control and investment.

Luckily, there are those still eager to learn, like Majid. He was just looking for an outdoor hobby he could share with his children when he came across the mentorship program. Now, he feels capable of hunting on his own, but also has someone he can text with questions that pop up. His new pastime has already paid off for him—on his second hunt with his mentor, in the last minutes of daylight, he bagged his first deer.

【1】In this passage,Nasr Majid is considered as a symbol of________.

A.devotion B.bravery C.enthusiasm D.hope

【2】What can be inferred from Chris Markin’s words?

A.No one is interested in hunting any more.

B.The hunting tradition is facing challenges.

C.Parents fail to spend enough time with kids.

D.Hunting adds to many adults life pressures.

【3】What does the underlined words“new pastime”refer to?

A.Raising questions. B.Looking for hunters.

C.Learning to hunt. D.Sharing a new hobby.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Teach hunters new skills B.Make Hunting More Popular

C.Reduce the pressure of life D.Train more skilled hunters

27、It was late one evening. I can’t remember what it was about, but my dad and I had a very big argument when my mom was away. We both said things we didn’t mean, and in the end I said, “I’m leaving.” And he said, “Good. The sooner, the better.”

I threw a few things in a suitcase and closed the door angrily behind me, not knowing where I was going. After walking aimlessly for about 20 minutes, I stopped at a local supermarket. Then my phone rang. It was my mom calling. She said, “Hey, Mary. Where are you？Dad is worried about you.”

“How can he worry about me？I’ve been away for nearly half an hour, but he didn’t call,” I said with annoyance(气恼). My anger returned and I remembered all the hateful things he’d shouted to me. “Listen, Mom. You can tell Dad that I’m fine. I’ll call you tomorrow,” I said and hung up.

I walked around the store, trying to get my thoughts together. By the time I paid for my purchases, it had been much later than I used to be out alone. When I left the supermarket, a large piece of white paper was in front of me. On the piece of white paper were these words: “Please come home! I miss you and I’m worried about you！”

Then a car pulled up beside me. Hanging out of the window was my dad. Beside him, smiling gently, sat my mom. And that’s when I started laughing. I laughed so hard that I cried. Despite my best efforts to run away from home, my father finally managed to track me down. I couldn’t leave now, not with him sitting there with caring eyes.

【1】Hearing Mary decided to leave home, Mary’s father was very ________.

29、   Nature is the best laboratory for learning about nature. For ten years, every student at Wadsworth Middle School has been looking forward to his or her turn to attend a three-day science camp. 【1】 Science camp is important to the students, and we must raise the money necessary to save it.

Without science camp, students will miss out on a unique learning experience. In science class, they learn to identify rocks by picking them up out of a box. 【2】 Science camp also lets students experiment with different forms of energy. For example, students get to build miniature (微型的) steam engines that are powered by campfires. They also make solar panels that heat camp water. These experiences would be tough to create in a classroom.

Science camp is for everybody, and it won’t be saved unless everybody helps raise money for it. To get started, Principal Jeffries and the student council could set up a “science camp fund (资金)” at a local bank. Every year, science camp costs $3,000. 【3】

Some people say it’s too much work to save science camp, but the fact is that if we all help out, we can reach our goal easily. 【4】 For example, we could hold a talent auction (拍卖). By washing cars, babysitting, or using other talents, students can meet the goal. We could also hold a bake sale. Students could even ask local businesses to sponsor them.

【5】 If we all work together, we’ll easily raise the money to save it.

A.Students can raise money in many ways.

B.Now it might be canceled because of budget cuts.

C.They investigate the world through hands-on science.

D.Science camp is perfect for creative and curious ones.

E.Science camp is a great tradition that deserves to be saved.

F.That sounds expensive, but if every student raises just $10, the fund would be filled.

G.At science camp, they learn to identify rocks by finding them in mountain sides or river beds.

30、   It was 5:45 a. m. in March, and physician Michael Shannon was driving along the Coast Highway to meet a friend. As he______toward Dana Point Harbor, a blanket of white suddenly ______ his sight. A truck had pulled onto the road in front of him. The physician had no time to______.

The firemen______the engine fire at once and the Chevy Suburban was finally opened. As he sat with him in the back of the ambulance(救护车), the crash victim’s name—Michael Shannon______his attention.

The paramedic______, could this be the same -man who had saved his own life 30 years ago? The______who slept by Trokey’s side in the hospital until he was well enough to go home? As Trokey sat with Shannon, the feeling of______grew stronger.

In June 1986, Chris Trokey entered the world ten weeks early and only had a 50-50 chance of______. It was doctor Shannon who had given the baby a second life. Chris continued to be Shannon’s patient until he was in his teens.

Now, 30 years later, Chris Trokey stayed by Shannon’s side. “Do you remember me at all? You stayed with me when I was really little,” asked Trokey,

Shannon recognized Chris at once______Chris looked nothing like the______baby he had once been.

How______! Each of them says this feeling—of having someone enter your life at an extremely______time and watch over you until you are well, of giving a gift without______and then getting it back when you need it most-has given him faith in a higher power.

Everyone has their own unique fingerprint; 【1】 makes fingerprints an ideal way to unlock smartphones. However, this may be 【2】 (safe) than we think.

Scientists at New York University and Michigan State University in the US have developed a set of fake fingerprints. They say that the prints 【3】 unlock any fingerprint-enabled smartphone up to 65 percent of the time.

The artificial fingerprints 【4】 (create) by using many common features found in human prints. They work 【5】 taking advantage of the way smartphone scanners check a fingerprint.

The fingerprint scanners   【6】 (use) in smartphones are so small that they only read parts of fingerprints. So they have to take many scans of your finger or thumb (拇指) 【7】 they work properly. Smartphones also let users save several finger and thumbprints. Since a print only has to match one of the saved images 【8】 (unlock) the phone, the scanner is more likely to make mistakes.

Although the scientists have only tested their findings in computer simulations (模拟), 【9】 (worry) about the safety of using fingerprints are reasonable .They warn that the technology used to create artificial fingerprints is improving   【10】 (extreme) fast.

37、Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the proper form of the words or expressions given in the frame. Each one can only be used once.

Why your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems?  Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 【1】 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.

When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet，they appeared to 【2】that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.

While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”，there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to【3】. The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.

“Users are becoming slightly more 【4】what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”

But 【5】no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.

Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to 【6】 their mobile phone with an account, having a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to log on.

Although the serviced is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!，said that it was “the first step to【7】passwords”. He said it was a(n)【8】that it was increasingly hard for people to remember all the passwords they had. “I don’t think we, as an industry, have done a good enough job of putting ourselves in the shoes of the people using our products,” he said.

It would certainly be a more sensible strategy than same people’s improving upon “password” by using “password” or，“tran5p053d numb3r5 f0r 133tr3r5”.

“We are, for the most part，predictably【9】when it comes to choosing passwords, despite a decade of warnings from password strength checkers during sign-ups” said WP Engine. “We love taking a(n) 【10】, and so do password crackers.
