Twelve years ag, Danny called me frm a dark, damp subway statin. “A baby!” he shuted. “Get dwn here, and flag dwn a plice car r smething.” By nature, Danny is a very calm persn, s when I culd almst feel his heartbeat thrugh the phne line, I ran.
When I gt t the subway statin, Danny was hlding a light-brwn-skinned baby, abut a day ld. The baby had been wrapped（被包裹）in an versize black sweatshirt and left n the grund in a crner behind the gate.
What neither f us knew, r culd have assumed, was that Danny had nt just saved an abandned infant; he had fund ur sn.
Three mnths later, Danny appeared in family curt t tell the stry f finding the baby. Suddenly, the judge asked, “Wuld yu be interested in adpting this baby?” The questin surprised everyne in the curtrm, except Danny, wh answered, simply, “Yes.”
“But I knw it’s nt that easy,” he said.
“Well, it can be,” said the judge befre giving rders t allw me t be a parent-t-be.
My first reactin, when I heard, went smething like, “Are yu crazy? Hw culd yu say yes withut asking me?
In three years as a cuple, we had never discussed adpting a child: I was an devted playwright（剧作家）wrking as a part-time wrd clerk. Danny was a respected yet wildly under paid scial wrker. We had a rmmate, wh slept in ur living rm, t help pay the rent.
We knew hw many challenges cuples usually faced when they want t have a baby. And while Danny had patience and selflessness, I didn’t knw hw t change a diaper（尿布）, let alne nurse a child. I didn’t trust the scial system and was sure there wuld be difficulties. Als, I culdn’t handle parenthd. S I prmised myself I wuldn’t devte t it.
The caretaker held the baby and then placed him in my arms. But when the baby stared up at me, with all the inncence and hpe he shwed t me, I, like Danny, cmpletely fell fr him.
24. Why did the authr rush t the subway statin?
A. Because Danny finally fund their sn.
B. Because she sensed Danny met smething urgent.
C. Because Danny had a heart disease.
D. Because smene gave birth t a baby there.
25. Hw did the authr feel n hearing Danny’s answer t the judge’s questin?
A. Excited by Danny’s wrds.
B. Crazy t be a parent-t-be.
C. Angry abut Danny ‘s decisin.
D. Upset abut lsing her authrity.
26. It can be inferred frm the last paragraph that ______.
A. the authr will adpt the baby
B. the cuple were nt t take the baby
C. the baby will bring hpe t the family
D. the cuple lve each ther very much
27. What is the authr’s intentin f writing the passage?
A. T intrduce a stry f a pr family.

Sil creates life frm death. The prductin f mre than 95% f the fd we eat relies n sil. But this precius resurce is erding（侵蚀）at a glbal average f 13.5 tns per hectare per year. Instead f nurishing crps, fertile tpsil is washed and blwn away, ending up in incnvenient places such as ditches and ceans.
J Handelsman and Kayla Chen try t make readers care abut sil in A Wrld Withut Sil. Their prlgue（前言）takes the frm f a letter t the gvernment. With the letter, they hpe t make sil management a federal pririty. The fllwing chapters cver the basic science f sil as well as the causes and cnsequences f its ersin. In the last part f the bk, the authrs turn t pssible slutins—many f them simple, and sme centuries ld. They describe abut traditinal sil management techniques, including planting diverse crps in rtatin（轮种）, increasing rganic cntent, plughing as little as pssible, etc. With these techniques, farmers are able t prduce rich agricultural prductin while maintaining deep banks f fertile sil.
Why, then, is fertile sil being allwed t be washed and blwn away? The answer, nt surprisingly, rests in glbal capitalism. Farmers’ prfit is thin, frcing farmers t plant the highest-prfit crp frm field t field every seasn. T ensure fd security, Handelsman and Chen urge the wrld t demand a real tp-dwn change in hw agricultural prductin is managed. “The burden f prtecting sil cannt be shifted t farmers and envirnmental activists,” they nte. Gvernments must begin t mve twards a mdel in which farmers are less independent business peple grwing and selling fd, and mre gvernment-supprted land wrkers managing bth fd prductin and sil prtectin. This shuld be the cre f agriculture.
Our land and sil are t precius t be destryed by the market price f crps. We must invest deeply and thughtfully in ur farmers s that they can invest deeply and thughtfully in the land. This is the future f farming.
28. What is paragraph 1 mainly abut?
A. The gradual prcess f lsing sil.
B. The wrrying situatin f sil ersin.
C. The alarming decrease f fd utput.
D. The great significance f sil prtectin.
29. What d we knw abut the bk A Wrld Withut Sil?
A. It targets federal fficials as its main readers.
B. It puts frward sme practical slutins t sil lss.
C. It advcates changing traditinal farming techniques.
D. It blames gvernments fr nt taking care f farmlands.
30. What d Handelsman and Chen suggest farmers d?
A. Invest in the mst prfitable crps.
B. Grw and sell fd all by themselves.
C. Shulder the burden f prtecting sil.
D. Wrk the land with gvernment supprt.
31. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. A Call t Save SilB. Tips t Reshape Agriculture
C. Ways t Enrich FarmlandD. An Appeal t Guarantee Fd Supply
D
It scarcely seems surprising that learning t underline a mdal verb, such as “can”, and “may”, des little t help students use them effectively in their wn writing. These wrds are anyway grasped by tiny children withut the need t knw what they are called. This may tempt the cnclusin that the teaching f grammar shuld be shelved altgether. But there are reasns t refrm it rather than thrw it away.
Understanding f language is part f a wider educatin in what makes human beings human. Hw cncepts are turned int sunds, and hw thse sunds cmbine t frm cmmands r questins, are issues that have ccupied many language experts. What they reveal abut the mind has exercised psychlgists and cgnitive（认知的）scientists.
There are practical reasns t ask children t wrk hard at grammar, t. One is that a knwledge f it will make learning a freign language easier. Even if yu did knw by nature hw t make clauses in yur native languages as a child — just withut instructin — getting t grips with them in German r Russian in later years is simpler if yu knw hw t define and spt them. As it is, many English- speakers cme t understand grammar by studying a freign language, rather than the ther way rund.
Fr grammarians keen n future jbs, the natural-language prcessing field is bming. After many years f pr results, technlgical wizards have develped prgrams fr autmated translatin, speech recgnitin and ther services that are actually usable, if far frm perfect. These tls may rely mre n knwledge f artificial intelligence than f the subjunctive, but linguistic（语言学的）expertise still matters, and may give beginners an edge ver cmpetitrs whse best language is Pythn（编程）.
Grammar culd still be taught better. One small study shwed imprvement in sme students when cncepts are linked cncretely t writing tasks. A ck des nt need t knw chemistry t make a delicius sup. But the science f hw wrds cmbine t make meaning is fascinating and fundamental.
32. Why d sme peple cnsider stpping teaching grammar?
A. Teachers’ teaching methds are far frm satisfactry.
B. It’s unnecessary fr small kids t grasp mdal verbs.
C. Drawing lines under wrds fails t be effective in learning.
D. Grammar Learning desn’t bring bvius effect t writing.
33. Which f the fllwing can replace the underlined phrase “getting t grips with” in paragraph 3?
A. CntrllingB. MasteringC. Hlding n tD. Dealing with.
34. When it cmes t future jbs, grammarians believe ______.
A. a gd cmmand f Pythn is enugh fr prgrammers
B. the field f artificial technlgy still shws great prmise
C. being expert in language means advantages in cmpetitin
D. cmputer geniuses will invent perfect tls t prcess language
35. What’s the main idea f this passage?
A. Grammar teaching shuldn’t be stpped but refrmed.
B. Scientific study f human beings benefits frm grammar.
C. Grammar helps children t learn freign languages better.
D. There’s much rm fr imprvement in grammar research.

I lve t play the pian and I greatly enjy perfrming my sngs, s when the annual winter recital（独奏）was canceled, I was disappinted. I had lked frward t it fr a lng time and had already prepared tw f my best sngs.
My mm had a wnderful idea, hwever, t turn this disappinting letdwn int smething wrthwhile. “Yu can perfrm yur sngs at Carriage Huse Senir Living,” my mm suggested brightly. “I’m sure the senirs there wh d nt have families visit them that ften, wuld really appreciate the music and yu culd play mre than just tw sngs.”
I immediately thught this was a great idea. One f the things I did nt like abut the recitals was that I was limited t playing just a cuple f sngs. Playing the pian at Carriage Huse seemed like a win-win situatin because nt nly wuld I get t play mre sngs, but I wuld als have the chance t cheer up the residents there with sme lively tunes.
My mm called Carriage Huse and made arrangements fr me t perfrm. In the cming days, I wrked especially hard t plish up fifteen pieces that I thught the crwd wuld enjy, including many ld classics.
When the much-anticipated day finally arrived, my family and I drve t Carriage Huse. Walking thrugh the enrmus duble drs, we stepped int an entryway that verlked the spacius grand dining rm. Right at the entrance t the dining rm std the pian as if it were just waiting t make sme music t liven the place up a bit. At nearly every table several gray-haired wmen r men were seated enjying their dinner and the cmpany that the crwded rm prvided. Despite the cnversatins ging n at varius tables thugh, islatin hung like a dark clud in the rm.

续写参考例文：
As I sat dwn n the bench, I pressed a key n the pian and was surprised t hear n sund. Feeling as if the whle wrld was watching me, I was struck dead with embarrassment. Hw culd I perfrm the sng withut the pian? I was n pins and needles when Phyllis slwly made her way t the frnt f the crwd f dinners and annunced in a cmfrting tne, “This girl has cme t sing fr us but the pian seems t be a little nervus.” Almst immediately, there was scattered applause and several peple stepped frward t help me plug in the pian and set the micrphne. With everything in place, I tk a deep breath and began my perfrmance.
Nervusness melted away and I started t enjy the perfrmance with the ld. One wman gt up and began t enthusiastically dance abut the rm. Sme f the peple swayed in their chairs t the beat f the music while thers tapped theirs tes. The perfrmance ended up with a strm f applause frm the crwd. I realized that it was far better than a pian recital because almst everyne seemed t truly appreciate my music and I’m prud that I have the pwer t spread kindness t them. It ended up being a blessing in disguise that the recital was canceled, leading t me sharing the gift f music with thse wh needed it mst.
