Every superhero, no matter how small, needs a cape (披风) . That was Robyn Rosenberger’s motivation when she started sewing superhero capes for kids with cancer, heart defects, and other serious diseases. It all began when she was making a cape as a birthday present for her nephew. Rosenberger heard of a girl named Brenna who was battling a potentially deadly skin condition called harlequin ichthyosis. Anyone suffering from what she was going through had to be tough. “I had an aha moment (顿悟) ,” Rosenberger says. “Brenna was a superhero! She needed a cape.” So Rosenberger sent her one, and Brenna’s mother was delighted.
Rosenberger found ten more kids online and sent out ten more capes. Before long, she quit her job at a software company to dedicate herself full time to , a website where people can buy hand-made capes for brave kids facing illness and disability.
Since 2013, Rosenberger and her small paid staff have sent more than 12,000 handmade capes to kids in all 50 states and 15 other countries. The capes come in pink, blue, purple, or red and can be decorated with the child’s initials or specialized patches, including a heart, a rocket, or a lightning bolt. One recipient was eight-month-old Gabe, who was born with a cleft palate (腭裂) , which causes distinct facial features. Rosenberger sent him a red cape with a bright yellow G in the center. It was a hit.
Gabe is now a fixture on the company’s social media posts. “The Tiny Superhero community has been a wonderful connection to have” says Gabe’s mom, Kate Glocke. In fact, two years later, “We still bring Gabe’s cape with us to every hospital appointment.”

California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor (因素) .
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources (资源) .
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness (湿度) of soil, and the timing of snowmelt.
Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
28. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B. The increasing variety of California big trees.
C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.
29. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees
A. Ecological studies of forests. B. Banning woodcutting.
C. Limiting housing development. D. Fire control measures.
30. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre
A. Inadequate snowmelt. B. A longer dry season.
C. A warmer climate. D. Dampness of the air.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone
B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests
D. Patrick Mclntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California
D
According to a study done by University of Michigan researchers, shopping to relieve stress was up to 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad compared to those who only browsed for items.
More than half of the 1,000 consumers participating in the survey said they have impulsively (冲动地) shopped to deal with feelings of stress, anxiety or depression. Twenty-three percent of respondents said they've maxed out a credit card in the past year. Millennials (千禧一代), 68 percent, responded by saying they have stress spent in the past, compared with 53 percent of Gen Xers (失落的一代) and only 26 percent of Baby Boomers (婴儿潮一代) .
By gender, 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress spent said they had purchased alcohol when stressed. 82 percent of women stress spent on clothing compared to 52 percent of men. Women also lead stress spending for jewelry, 42 percent, compared to 22 percent for men, with men stress spending more for electronics, 44 percent versus 30 percent for women.
In fact, shopping to reduce stress can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. Shopping to relieve stress is also known as retail therapy (疗法) as a form of regulating stress. The survey found that 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood boost that followed those purchases was long-lasting.
However, the side effect of retail therapy, for many, can start out as a relatively harmless mood booster but could possibly grow into an impulse that uses up money and cause conflict, thereby adding a significant amount of stress to a person's life.
32.What can we know about Millennials according to the survey
A. They tend to max out their credit cards.
B. They bear more stress than Baby Boomers.
C. They are more likely to purchase to reduce anxiety.
D. They have an advantage over Gen Xers in managing stress.
33.Which of the following has topped the list when people have stress spent
A. Alcohol. B. Clothing. C. Jewelry. D. Electronics.
34.What can be learned about retail therapy dealing with stress
A. It is harmless. B. It is highly recommended.
C. It promotes personal relationship. D. It can serve as a temporary solution.
35.What is the best title for the text
A. Can Shopping Relieve Stress B. Where is Your Money Going
C. Shopping Habits across Generations D. A New Cure for Depression

How to Determine Direction Using the Sun
Knowing the direction you are traveling is vital when lost in the wilderness. 36 Luckily, travelers have figured out the direction with a glance at the sun since ancient times.
Make a sun rod (杆).
37 It should be as straight as possible and one meter long.Then take it to a level place that receives good sunlight. Drive your rod into the earth so that it forms a 90-degree angle (L-shape) with the ground. This is the first step to identifying directions.
38
To get an accurate read on your direction using shadows, you'll need to first wait for the sun to set. When the sun rises in the morning, mark the spot where your sun rod casts its first shadow. This shadow will point directly west, no matter where you are on earth.
Draw your east-west line.
Wait 15 minutes and mark the new position of the shadow of your sun rod. 39 Mark this new shadow on the ground and then draw a straight line between your two marks. This line will point approximately west in the direction of your first mark, and approximately east in the direction of your second mark.
Locate yourself to the north.
Stand on the line you have drawn, with your first mark on your left and the second mark on your right. You should form a 90-degree angle with the line connecting these two points. 40 Following the line directly behind you, opposite the north, will be the south.
A. Find a stick, pole, or branch
B. Observe the position of the sun
C. People can't live without the sun
D. Mark the shadow cast at first light
E. It can cause the difference between life and death
F. It should have moved a few centimeters at this point
G. In this position, you will be facing approximately north

We three were running down the path, shouting and laughing when our dog Rubby suddenly stopped in the distance. He turned around, eyeing us. with his tail swinging up and down.
My little brother Toby immediately sped up and rushed to where Rubby was. He bent down and picked up something and ran back to us.
It was a bunch of keys. We gathered in a circle, examining the keys one by one, hoping to find some useful information about its owner. There were3 keys, a house key, a mail key, a car key and a unique key fob（吊坠）, very likely designed specially.
“Gosh, the owner might be in great trouble, " My sister sighed. She was right. We once lost our keys. Although we had an extra house key, it took our parents quite a long time to get a new mail key, let alone there was a car key.
Who might have lost them
After many wild guesses, we finally drew a conclusion: It might belong to someone in our neighborhood as only our neighbors wandered into the woods for a walk. But it was still impossible to figure out who it was. We had a very big neighborhood.
“The owner might come back to look for them,"Toby said.
So we decided to stay where we were, keeping a watchful eye on all passers-by.Our little dog ran in circles of excitement as we stayed so long in the wild. We remained in the woods for two hours, asking everyone we came across whether they lost their keys, but in vain.
It seemed we had to give up. But my sister wouldn't, saying that she just couldn't stop picturing the owner brushing aside tall grasses hoping to find the lost keys. "How anxious and upset the owner would be!”
I took a look at the bunch of keys again and quite by accident, found the key fob had the alarm button, "Look! If we press the alarm button, close enough of course, we can set off the owner's car alarm ...”
“That's brilliant.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
We rushed back to our neighborhood.
The door opened and in front of us stood an old lady.

Reducing air pollution
With the development of the economy, our city has witnessed severe air pollution for several years due to the inappropriate usage of fuel wastes and the increasing demand for cars, which drew our attention.
To tackle the problem, the local authorities need to take some urgent steps. Not only should they carry out strict regulations, but they also fine industrial factories for fuel abuses. Besides, cars using new clean energy are preferred, which help to reduce the carbon dioxide emission. Most importantly, the government is supposed to call on people to get involved in reducing the source of air pollution, such as replacing private cars with shared bikes, etc.
Let’s spare no effort to make contributions to solving the air pollution problem and protect our environment!
读后续写
One possible version:
We rushed back to our neighborhood.We wandered from house to house, pressing the button all the way, in the hope of finding the owner as soon as possible. But it didn't seem to be smooth sailing. After searching for an hour, we still didn't succeed. Tired and disappointed, we couldn't help feeling a little bit discouraged. Even our dog Rubby slowed down his pace. I stretched out the keys to my sister, “Maybe good luck for you.” She took it and pressed it. There went a sharp and loud noise. There it was. We burst into laughter and hugged each other tightly.Then we approached the house and rang the doorbell.
The door opened and in front of us stood an old lady. My sister held up her hand, with the keys hanging from her pointer finger and a giant smile on her face, and asked, "Sorry about the noise but have you lost a bunch of keys " The lady looked at us in total surprise. saying she had never thought they could be recovered. After we explained the whole thing to her, she insisted that she should pay us some money.We refused, saying, "Happy to help. You would have done the same thing!" Then we waved her goodbye and left.Walking home, twilight draped the streets in gold.“Kindness isn’t just returning keys, but connecting hearts together in unexpected ways.

By gender, 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress spent said they had purchased alcohol when stressed. 82 percent of women stress spent on clothing compared to 52 percent of men. Women also lead stress spending for jewelry, 42 percent, compared to 22 percent for men, with men stress spending more for electronics, 44 percent versus 30 percent for women.
In fact, shopping to reduce stress can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. Shopping to relieve stress is also known as retail therapy (疗法) as a form of regulating stress. The survey found that 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood boost that followed those purchases was long-lasting.
However, the side effect of retail therapy, for many, can start out as a relatively harmless mood booster but could possibly grow into an impulse that uses up money and cause conflict, thereby adding a significant amount of stress to a person's life.

How to Determine Direction Using the Sun
Knowing the direction you are traveling is vital when lost in the wilderness. 36 Luckily, travelers have figured out the direction with a glance at the sun since ancient times.
Make a sun rod (杆).
37 It should be as straight as possible and one meter long.Then take it to a level place that receives good sunlight. Drive your rod into the earth so that it forms a 90-degree angle (L-shape) with the ground. This is the first step to identifying directions.
38
To get an accurate read on your direction using shadows, you'll need to first wait for the sun to set. When the sun rises in the morning, mark the spot where your sun rod casts its first shadow. This shadow will point directly west, no matter where you are on earth.
Draw your east-west line.
Wait 15 minutes and mark the new position of the shadow of your sun rod. 39 Mark this new shadow on the ground and then draw a straight line between your two marks. This line will point approximately west in the direction of your first mark, and approximately east in the direction of your second mark.
Locate yourself to the north.
Stand on the line you have drawn, with your first mark on your left and the second mark on your right. You should form a 90-degree angle with the line connecting these two points. 40 Following the line directly behind you, opposite the north, will be the south.
A. Find a stick, pole, or branch
B. Observe the position of the sun
C. People can't live without the sun
D. Mark the shadow cast at first light
E. It can cause the difference between life and death
F. It should have moved a few centimeters at this point
G. In this position, you will be facing approximately north

We three were running down the path, shouting and laughing when our dog Rubby suddenly stopped in the distance. He turned around, eyeing us. with his tail swinging up and down.
My little brother Toby immediately sped up and rushed to where Rubby was. He bent down and picked up something and ran back to us.
It was a bunch of keys. We gathered in a circle, examining the keys one by one, hoping to find some useful information about its owner. There were3 keys, a house key, a mail key, a car key and a unique key fob（吊坠）, very likely designed specially.
“Gosh, the owner might be in great trouble, " My sister sighed. She was right. We once lost our keys. Although we had an extra house key, it took our parents quite a long time to get a new mail key, let alone there was a car key.
Who might have lost them
After many wild guesses, we finally drew a conclusion: It might belong to someone in our neighborhood as only our neighbors wandered into the woods for a walk. But it was still impossible to figure out who it was. We had a very big neighborhood.
“The owner might come back to look for them,"Toby said.
So we decided to stay where we were, keeping a watchful eye on all passers-by.Our little dog ran in circles of excitement as we stayed so long in the wild. We remained in the woods for two hours, asking everyone we came across whether they lost their keys, but in vain.
It seemed we had to give up. But my sister wouldn't, saying that she just couldn't stop picturing the owner brushing aside tall grasses hoping to find the lost keys. "How anxious and upset the owner would be!”
I took a look at the bunch of keys again and quite by accident, found the key fob had the alarm button, "Look! If we press the alarm button, close enough of course, we can set off the owner's car alarm ...”
“That's brilliant.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
We rushed back to our neighborhood.
The door opened and in front of us stood an old lady.

Reducing air pollution
With the development of the economy, our city has witnessed severe air pollution for several years due to the inappropriate usage of fuel wastes and the increasing demand for cars, which drew our attention.
To tackle the problem, the local authorities need to take some urgent steps. Not only should they carry out strict regulations, but they also fine industrial factories for fuel abuses. Besides, cars using new clean energy are preferred, which help to reduce the carbon dioxide emission. Most importantly, the government is supposed to call on people to get involved in reducing the source of air pollution, such as replacing private cars with shared bikes, etc.
Let’s spare no effort to make contributions to solving the air pollution problem and protect our environment!

One possible version:
We rushed back to our neighborhood.We wandered from house to house, pressing the button all the way, in the hope of finding the owner as soon as possible. But it didn't seem to be smooth sailing. After searching for an hour, we still didn't succeed. Tired and disappointed, we couldn't help feeling a little bit discouraged. Even our dog Rubby slowed down his pace. I stretched out the keys to my sister, “Maybe good luck for you.” She took it and pressed it. There went a sharp and loud noise. There it was. We burst into laughter and hugged each other tightly.Then we approached the house and rang the doorbell.
The door opened and in front of us stood an old lady. My sister held up her hand, with the keys hanging from her pointer finger and a giant smile on her face, and asked, "Sorry about the noise but have you lost a bunch of keys " The lady looked at us in total surprise. saying she had never thought they could be recovered. After we explained the whole thing to her, she insisted that she should pay us some money.We refused, saying, "Happy to help. You would have done the same thing!" Then we waved her goodbye and left.Walking home, twilight draped the streets in gold.“Kindness isn’t just returning keys, but connecting hearts together in unexpected ways.
