At the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar, you may have noticed this strange scene at the beginning of each game. As the soccer players line up ready to walk onto the field they take the hand of a smiling and excited child next to them and walk out with them hand in hand.
The practice of sending children out with the players first took place from time to time throughout the 1990s. One child, also called a player escort, would accompany a team out at the beginning of an important game. From the year 2000 onwards, this custom started happening much more regularly. The 2000 Euro Championships was one of the first major soccer games where children were seen walking out with the players. But it was the 2002 FIFA World Cup where it really became popular. One of the most prominent ways this happened was by pairing up each player with a child as they walked out onto the soccer field. You can see it at the beginning of most important football games. From then on, it has become commonplace around the world for children to walk out with the players.
Ultimately soccer players walk out with a child because their club requires them to. It is in the interest of the soccer club to do this as it has potential benefits for both the child and the honor of the club. Soccer is a game that is loved by children throughout the world. Many would jump at the chance to have a taste of a real game in person. It’s also a chance for soccer club to make money. Most clubs have some sort of program where it’s possible to buy the experience of being a player escort. In England, it can be extremely expensive. A few years ago it was reported that some clubs were charging almost $800 per child to be a player escort!
24. Why did the writer mention the strange scene in the World Cup
A. To draw readers’ interest.
B. To appreciate the children.
C. To show the charm of football players.
D. To stress the importance of the World Cup.
25. What does the second paragraph mainly deal with about the practice
A. Its popularity. B. Its successes. C. Its hardships. D. Its development.
26. Which is closest in meaning to “prominent” in Paragraph 2
A. Effective. B. Noticeable. C. Proper. D. Difficult.
27. How does the practice benefit the player escorts
A. They can make much money.
B. They can gain great potential chance to be famous.
C. They are more likely to be chosen by their favorite clubs.
D. They are lucky enough to experience a real game by themselves.

Vanessa Burchill, a 12-year-old Dartmouth, N. S. girl, is growing and giving away hundreds of young milkweed so endangered monarch butterflies have somewhere safe to land. Her plan to save the monarch butterflies began about three years ago when her aunt showed her a chrysalis from her garden. She watched in wonder as a butterfly appeared and made its wings dry.
She’s now given out about 1,,000 baby milkweed plants to people in Halifax through her Downtown Dartmouth Monarch Project. Her first group of milkweed this spring went in a matter of hours.
Monarch butterflies can’t survive without milkweed because it’s the only plant where they can lay their eggs. Burchill grows wetland milkweed. It is far less controllable than common milkweed, its cousin. Common milkweed is considered a harmful weed in U.S. It is often killed by people with chemicals.
This year, Burchill’s growing season began in February with seeds from the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute. Anyone can message her on Facebook to pick up a pot of milkweed for free. Each pot has four small plants that people are encouraged to put in a sunny place in their gardens.
“When the monarchs finally appear from the chrysalis they need to be able to dry out their wings in the sun and when the plant doesn’t have full sun they can’t do that.” Burchill said.
Burchill has also started growing a butterfly garden in the park across the street from her house with the help of parents and neighbors. “We’re very proud of her and she’s quite focused,” said her dad, Nick Burchill. ‘‘Hopefully, it will create a nice pathway for monarchs.”
Burchill has only seen a handful of monarchs visit her yard and she’s still waiting to see a caterpillar on the milkweed. But she knows what she did is paying off when she sees the endangered butterflies visiting gardens she helps grow.
28. What encouraged Burchill to save the monarch butterflies
A. Her monarch project. B. Her aunt’s suggestion.
C. Her research on the butterflies. D. Her experience in her aunt’s garden.
29. What can we learn from the second paragraph
A. Selling milkweed becomes a profitable business.
B. Milkweed baby plants grow very quickly in spring.
C. The project is widely welcomed by the local people.
D. Monarch butterflies can’t survive without milkweed.
30. Why does Burchill plant wetland milkweed
A. It provides the butterfly with enough water. B. It is much safer than common milkweed.
C It is encouraged by the U.S. government. D. It grows everywhere in her hometown.
31. What is the attitude of Burchill’s father towards her action
A. Supportive. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
D
Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media but the different generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different. In the UK the over-55 s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s.
Sheila, aged 59, says, “I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That’s how we did it when I was a child, but I think I’m lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.”
Interestingly, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site - only 2.2 million users are under 17 -but they’re not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock so I have to,’ she says. “I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.”
Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty years. ”We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “It’s changed my social life completely.”
Parents have an important role to play if they want their kids to spend more time in real life. Peter, 38, who spends most of his time in front of a screen, is recently determined to set a better example to his kids. In the evening or at weekends, he would leave his smartphone home and take his kids out to nature.
32. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Older people have difficulty using social media.
B. Children spend more time with their grandparents.
C. More and more elderlies begin to use social media.
D. Social media have become more friendly to the elderly.
33. How does Sheila feel about social media
A. Worried. B. Satisfied. C. Excited. D. Disappointed.
34. What can be concluded from the passage
A. People tend to have less social life as they get older.
B. Young people are getting away from their smartphone.
C. More young people choose to meet their friends in person.
D. Social media actually help old people to meet their friends.
35. What’s the best title for this passage
A. Different Online Habits Across Generations B. The Good Old Days Without Smartphones
C. The Next Generation of Social Media D. The Use of Smartphones at School

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。
It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线) through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn't with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school's coach and asked him what had happened. "I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him," he explained uncomfortably. "I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide."
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that's all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn't look at me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________读后续写答案:
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn't look at me. I quietly said, "David, if you don't want to run today(if引导条件状语从句), no one is going to make you do. But if you're not running because you're afraid someone is going to laugh, that's not a good enough reason. There will always be someone who will laugh and say mean words(who引导定语从句). There are people like that, and that's just the way it is. The real question is whether you are going to let those few people stop you from doing something you really want to do(whether引导表语从句, 里面包含了省略了that的定语从句). Are you going to let them get in your way If you really want to run, David, then you run!" I held my breath as David took this in. Then he looked at the field and said with fierce but quiet determination, "I'm gonna run."
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The starter's gun sounded, and David lurched forward with the other children. But he had only gone a few metres before he tripped and fell flat on the ground. My heart sank. As I started to shout encouragement, other voices around me appeared too. David picked himself up and started again. This was David's run. He had worked for it, and he wouldn't give up! At last, he raised his arms in triumph as he crossed the finish line to wild cheers and applause. At the end of the year, the track coach asked the class to nominate one of their classmates for the athletic award for their grade. Without hesitation the whole class voted for David, saying that no one had worked harder for that award than he(现在分词短语作伴随状语, 第一个that引导宾语从句).
解析:本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了患有脑部疾病的孩子David, 他看起来比同龄人小很多, 而且跑步动作和别人不太一样, 教练担心他被人嘲笑而让他选择是否继续参加比赛, David选择放弃。但是"我"作为学校的特殊教育老师, 决定鼓励他参加比赛。
1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容"我们坐在一起, 但David不看我。"可知, 第一段可描写"我"与David之间的互动, 以及"我"是如何鼓励David参加跑步的。关键词: give up(放弃); make a good preparation(做好准备), come true(实现)。
②由第二段首句内容"我看着David和其他选手一起走上起跑线。"可知, 第二段可描写David在跑步中的表现, 以及周围人对他表现的看法, 以及作者和David的感受。关键词: out of breath(气喘吁吁); stick to(坚持); manage to do(成功做)。
