26、He looked like a pirate.
With his handkerchief tied in a knot behind his little nine-year-old head, he looked like a pirate, a sad pirate. The first time little David came to our camp, he was hairless and worn out from medical treatments. He was also very angry.
Paul Newman’s camp counselors (指导老师) were hoping to fill David’s days with fun and laughter. But David stayed inside himself, wanting to be alone, or in a comer of the cabin. At this camp for children with life-threatening illnesses, we had seen some pretty tough children worn out by cancer recover full of energy despite their illness. But we saw little progress in David no matter what we tried with him. Five days into the eight-day session saw a quiet, sad little pirate.
Then something happened on that fifth night. Something at camp that we would call “huge”. It was cabin night. That’s the time when campers and counselors spend time together in each individual cabin instead of an all-camp activity. Campers love cabin nights because there’s always a bedtime snack. On the cabin table that night were bags of potato chips.
David slowly walked over to the table, leaving his comer to join the rest of us. He took one of the bags of the potato chips and started smashing (弄碎) it with his little fists, as all the other campers looked on in disbelief, I wondered what the cabin counselor would do.
The college-age volunteer counselor positioned a bag of chips on the table in front of himself, and he, too, started smashing it with his fist. The campers went crazy as everyone ran to the table to get in on the fun of smashing potato chips with their fists.
Somehow everyone knew, everyone sensed, that anger within him was now being released.
For the last couple days of the session, David was a different kid. He was a little nine-year-old boy again, trying to fill the hours of each remaining day at camp with as much fun as could be possible.
Several days after the session, David came back again, This time, there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t try to fit in to his day. He sure was having a great time at camp. David asked me if I needed an altar (祭坛) boy when I celebrated Mass in the woods. Sure enough, he was my altar boy.I remembered how carefully he listened to me when I talked about death. I said it’s only a doorway. You walk through the door and there’s the Lord God and behind God a whole line of people waiting to hug you.
After Mass, he said to me, “Hey Fatha, a door, huh?”
A couple more days of fun passed and tonight was the talent show. The tradition is that campers and counselors dress up in costumes, and everyone gets a standing applause for singing and dancing or simply just acting like fools on stage.
The show had begun: lights, camera, action.
Unfortunately, the only action taking place in our row of seats was little David making his way from counselor to counselor to say an early good-bye to camp. He had become quite ill and had to go to the hospital because of this new crisis.
When this little nine-year-old pirate stood in front of me, he gave me a hug and a big wet kiss on my cheek. I was crying. He was crying. A whole row of counselors was in tears. After the hug and kiss, he put his hands on my shoulders, and tears still in his eyes, said: “See you on the other side of the door, Fatha.”
【1】The camp counselors failed to fill David’s beginning days with fun and laughter, mainly because David________.
A.remained in a bad mood
B.behaved like a pirate
C.was left alone at the camp
D.was teased by other campers
【2】Seeing David smashing the potato chips, the counselor did the same thing in response because he ________.

B.hoped all the other campers would join
C.found it possible to help David release anger
D.wanted to show that he was as angry as David
【3】What can we learn from this article?
A.The camp was intended for those talented in singing and dancing.
B.The purpose of the camp was to give diseased children caring love.
C.The camp was popular among the children who enjoyed their vacation here.
D.Medical treatment could be provided to diseased children at the camp.
【4】What do you think the theme of the story is?
A.Children with deadly diseases are usually difficult to get along with.
B.People should have patience with children with life-threatening illnesses.
C.People should tell children with life-threatening illnesses to care nothing about death.
D.Love and proper guidance can help people look at something negative in a positive way.
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.
28、 Good relationship are definitely good sources of happiness in life. We all want happy relationships but if we do not keep that relationship alive, it can also be one of the most distraught things in life. There may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different preferences and points of view as to what is a great relationship. The following are some major key players in making relationships work.
It is often said that building good relationship is all about communication. Good communication indeed governs a good relationship---knowing the right thing to say, when to say it, how to say it, and accepting some things that are better left unsaid. I personally think communication must be broadened because relationships involve more decisions to make. From study to work, from money to entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friends that you do not know, communication is essential in these aspects of the relationships.
Of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him or her all the time. You and your friends come from different family backgrounds, raised in different environment so there may be disagreement here and there. However, it is important in making relationship work to express disagreements without pushing the relationship to end. Again, good communication and learning to compromise (妥协) at times are essential.
As relationships last longer, you may also discover things about you and your friends that you may not have known before. Therefore supporting each other on both your “hidden selves” can also make a good relationship.
Love is an important aspect of building relationships and for me, I always believe that love needs open communication, respect, support and understanding each other in making relationships work.
【1】The underlined word "distraught" in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A.helpless B.surprising C.funny D.upsetting
【2】To communicate well with people, you should know that ______.
A.supporting each other in anything helps build a good relationship.
B.a white lie is necessary sometimes.
C.compromises are essential at any time.
D.your friends need to have the same backgrounds with you.
【3】According to the text, which of the following are important for a good relationship?
a. communication b. support c. love d. hidden selves
A.a-b-d B.a-c-d C.b-c-d D.a-b-c
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.The Importance to Express Disagreements.
B.Keys to Making Relationships Work.
C.Different Opinions on Good Relationships.
D.Forbidden Rules in Building Good Relationships.
29、 On a sunny spring day, a group of children, four to seven-year- old, sit on their bicycles.
They wear helmets to protect their heads and gloves to protect their hands. Their mothers, watch them closely for fear that the children will fall off their bikes. The children are ready to learn how to ride.
Rachel Varn still remembers how she felt riding a bicycle for the first time. Now her job is helping children experience that moment. Rachel Varn left her job of selling bicycles to become a trainer for bicycle riding last year. She founded Pedal Power Kids to teach bicycle education.
Before starting a ride, she teaches the children how to make sure the bicycles are in good condition for safe use. She calls it “the ABC quick check.” A is for air, she explains. “We have to check our tires before we ride.” B is for brakes. We want to make sure our brakes work before we find ourselves on the top of a hill about to go down. And C is for chain. She says the chain must be clean.
The rest of the training is more fun. The children learn riding skills, from balance and pedaling to turning, starting and stopping. And they learn to keep their eyes up and look ahead while riding. Varn says many children struggle to do this. They look down at the pedals (踏板) instead. She adds, “Obviously that doesn’t allow them to see what’s going on around them, and it also doesn’t allow them to turn properly.”
Varn says watching where you are going helps you turn easier.
Learning to ride a bicycle can open a whole new world to children. It gives them a sense of success and freedom. They become more sensitive to their surroundings and better able to make safe, smart decisions going from one place to another.
Varn’s goal is to get more children on two wheels. Since starting Pedal Power Kids last year, Varn has helped around 250 new riders.
【1】How do the mothers feel when the children are ready to learn riding?
A.Confident. B.Nervous.
C.Excited. D.Relaxed.
【2】What is “the ABC quick check” aimed to do?
A.To check if bikes are in safe condition for use.
B.To check if the tires are safe for them to use.
C.To make sure the brakes work.
D.To check whether the chain is clean.
【3】What will make it easier to turn the corner when riding a bike?
A.Stopping to look around. B.Looking down at the pedals.
C.Looking where they are going. D.Keeping their eyes up and looking up.
【4】What benefit can riding a bicycle bring according to the passage?
A.It opens a new world to the mothers.
B.It gives children a sense of achievement.
C.It helps children stay away from video games.
D.It makes children familiar with the surrounding.
