Life is full of the unexpected. This is even true for a small pet dog. A dog called Romeo has been pulled from the rubble (瓦砾) in an earthquake, more than nine days after he was given up for dead.
On August 24, 2016, a terrible earthquake happened in Italy. The earthquake made millions of people lose their houses, killing at least 250 people and hurting more than 360 people.
Romeo's owners were sleeping on the second floor of their house when the earthquake happened. They managed to get out. But Romeo, who was sleeping on the first floor, was trapped inside. They tried their best to search for Romeo, but failed. After a few hours, they had to leave the village for their own safety.
All hope of finding Romeo alive seemed to disappear until Friday evening. That night the couple returned to their home with a group of firemen. Almost as soon as they came into the village, Romeo heard their voices and began barking(吠叫). The couple couldn't believe their ears. The firemen began digging at once where the barking was coming from and got to the dog. It was lucky that the dog was in pretty good condition. He looked like he had just woken from a short sleep.
Appearing completely relaxed, the dog drank his first drops of water in more than 230 hours from a bottle held by one of the firemen.
As it became clear that he didn't get hurt, the fireman put him down. When Romeo's owners saw him, they couldn't help crying. "We thought we had lost him forever!" said one of Romeo's owners. Then Romeo left happily with his owners who had given up hope of finding him alive.
The discovery of Romeo also cheered those firemen. "We believe there must be many more that are still alive. We'll try our best to save them."

It's hard to turn down tasty bananas. They taste good and you don't have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050. One reason for this is climate (气候) change. Scientists find that climate change has improved bananas' growing conditions. In the past 60 years, 1370 kg of bananas can be produced in every hectare (公顷).
However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Some countries, including India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.
Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it's hotter outside In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24℃and 32℃. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.
Diseases are another danger to bananas. One serious disease is Panama. Caused by fungus (真菌) in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation (种植园) suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists haven't yet found a way to stop this disease.
26.What may happen to bananas by 2050
A. New bananas will appear.
B. Bananas will be expensive.
C. There will be too many bananas.
D. The fruit may disappear.
27.Which of the following is the best temperature for growing bananas
A. 16℃. B. 22℃. C. 28℃. D. 34℃.
28.What is Panama
A. A banana plantation. B. A plant disease.
C. A farmer. D. The price of bananas.
29.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Over 1000 kg of bananas can be produced in every hectare now.
B. In the world, the largest producer of bananas is India.
C. It usually takes 30 years to build a banana plantation.
D. If temperatures get too high, bananas can stop growing.
30.What can make a big difference to bananas' growth

答案
1.C序数词的前面常加定冠词the,月份的前面不加任何冠词。on the first day在第一天;in October在十月。根据句意,故选C。
2.Alay指把物体放在一个水平的位置,它是一个及物动词,因此后面有一个直接宾语。lie的过去式lay,lay的过去分词是laid,故选A。
3.D结合时间状语before 2010可知,事情发生在过去的过去,应用过去完成时,其构成为:had+过去分词,排除A和B。根据for 50 years可知,句中谓语动词应用延续性动词。marry结婚,瞬间动词;be married表示结婚的状态,延续性动词,符合银。故选D。
4.D分析句子结构可知,此处是that引导的宾语从句,主句是一般过去时,从句用过去的相应时态,排除A和C项;根据从句时间状语for three weeks可知,从句应用延续性动词,buy买,瞬间动词,其延续性动词为had,故选D。
5.D根据时间状语By 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon可知,此处表示收集贝壳的动作发生在过去的过去,应用过去完成时,其结构为:had+动词过去分词,故选D。
6.D当Tim到达车站的时候汽车已经离开5分钟了。根据时间状语从句“when Tim arrived at the station”结合句意“当Tim到达车站的时候汽车已经离开5分钟了。”判断主句的动作发生在“过去的过去”,所以用过去完成时。过去完成时的构成是:主语+had+动词的过去分词;由于设空处后面有 for+时间段,所以动词必须是可延续性动词,leave是非延续性动词,转换成be away后可以与时间段连用,故答案为D。
7.D到上个月底,他们已经完成了新医院的建设工作。by the end of到……结束时,引导时间状语从句。主句一般使用过去完成时,从句使用一般过去时,强调主句动作发生在从句动作之前。故选D。
8.C当我到达车站时,汽车已经离开了。by the time到……时间为止,固定搭配,引导时间状语从句,主句一般用过去完成时,从句用一般过去时,故选C。
9.C在我昨天赶到那里之前,by the time到……时间为止,引导时间状语从句。主句一般使用过去完成时,从句使用一般过去时,强调主句动作发生在从句动作之前。10.C—当我回去拿我留在办公室的包时,史密斯夫人正忙着工作。——她总是那么忙。根据when I went back for the bag可知,回来拿包时史密斯夫人正在忙于工作,主句应用进行时,根据went,可知应用过去进行时。过去进行时结构为were/was+doing,故第一空填was working;第二空,包落在办公室应该在went之前,即过去的过去,用过去完成时,其结构为had+done,第二空应填had left。

A Little Surprise In order to show my love to my father, I prepared a little surprise for him on the last Father's Day. I thought for a long time and decided to make a card by myself.
First I went to the store to buy paper, scissors, glue and soon. Then, I chose my father's favorite color blue as the bottom. Next, I use scissors to cut the red card into a heart. Finally, I wrote "Dad, I love you".
On that day, when I gave the card to my father, he was very surprised and moved. And he said, "My daughter has really grown up."
