Here is a list of bilingual (双语的) books for them. Keep in mind that different kids require different books depending on their own reading level. DANIEL’S MYSTERY EGG This is a book with a simple storyline. After Daniel finds an egg, he is very curious. What could be inside it? It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s probably not the second one! Whatever it is, kids can learn a good amount of vocabulary from this book, especially as it mentions some animals in both languages. I LOVE SATURDAYS Y DOMINGOS This book follows the narrator (叙述者) on her visits to her grandparents. With her grandparents, she speaks English; but with her mother, she speaks Spanish. She is a Mexican American. There we can see the differences both in the languages and in the ways her grandparents and mother celebrate her birthday. This is families and the thing they all share: their love for their loved ones. UPSIDE DOWN AND BACKWARDS This short book has six stories that show different plots (情节) like strange neighbors and mystical science projects. It turns ordinary situations into unusual adventures that any child will love to read. All stories celebrate strong relationships with people, whether they are friends, family, or teachers. The stories have some pictures which help kids form a mental picture of the story. MAXIMILIAN & THE MYSTERY OF THE GUARDIAN ANGEL This book follows an 11-year-old wrestling (摔跤) lover who one day discovers his connection to a famous wrestler called the Guardian Angel. It does have pictures, but they don’t contribute much to the story. The book is full of adventures, and it tells a story children can enjoy from beginning to end. 21. What can we say about DANIEL’S MYSTERY EGG? A. It follows the changes of an egg. B. It lets kids’ imagination run wild. C. It focuses on kids’ colorful school life. D. It teaches kids to be friendly to animals. 22. What do the narrator’s visits to her grandparents in I LOVE SATURDAYS Y DOMINGOS show? A. Her poor relationships with her family. B. The difficulty in communication. C. Her family’s long history. D. Some cultural differences. 23. What do the last two books have in common? A. They both include adventurous plots. B. They both use pictures to attract kids. C. They both help improve kids’ science knowledge D. They both have interesting and talented leading roles B Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit (投稿) stories for a competition” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says And you’ll never be without something to read. 24. Why did BART start the kiosk program? A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use. C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs. 25. How are the stories categorized (分类) in the kiosk? A. By popularity. B. By length. C. By theme. D. By language. 26. What has Trost been doing recently? A. Organizing a story competition. B. Doing a survey of customers. C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists. 27. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A. It will close down. B. Its profits will fall. C. It will grow overseas. D. Its ridership will increa. C Floods are among the most deadly and damaging disasters worldwide. Many smaller communities, especially those that have never experienced floods before, lack the tools they need to detect (监测) and manage the disaster, leaving them struggling to face the full force of flooding. To help protect these communities, the National Space Agency (NSA) has partnered with several leading scientific groups to develop a new flood detection tool called “Model of Models” (MoM). This tool combines data from open-source hydrological (水文的) models with Earth observing satellite data to produce global flood risk level updates many times a day. When the MoM detects a high possibility of flooding in an area, it sends a flood early warning to affected communities, letting them quickly take the necessary steps to save lives and belongings. “This new technology covers the face of the globe, enabling us to observe flood risk and predict the chance of floods in ways never before possible,” said Dr. Shan Clain, Manager for NSA’s Earth Science Applied Sciences Program. “The technology we’ve developed will make a huge difference, enabling early action by communities around the globe — especially small island communities and developing countries that lack the necessary early warning information to protect themselves and their loved ones during flood events.” MoM will be a game changer. Until now, full global flood early warnings have not been possible, either due to limitations in hydrologic monitoring networks, prediction models, or the professional knowledge to operate and widely share their results, especially in small and underdeveloped countries. Oma Sam, a director at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said: “Effective early warning information is shown to save lives. However, traditional flood early warning has so far been expensive and requires local funding, resources, knowledge as well as regular care. I am looking forward to helping NSA provide this powerful MoM to all communities so that early warnings can reach the last mile.” 28. What can we learn about MoM from paragraph 2? A. It sends early warnings many times a day. B. It frequently updates global flood risk levels. C. It is specially for flood-affected communities. D. It relies on human observation to detect floods. 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about MoM? A. Its operational (操作的) steps B. Its development history. C. Its value and effect. D. Its technology progress. 30. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Early warning information is enough to save lives. B. MoM has been provided to all the communities now. C. MoM is expected to beat some past system limitations. D. MoM is popular in small developing countries. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. MoM: A Breakthrough in Global Flood Early Warning. B. NSA: A Partner of Small Communities in Flood Rescue C. MoM Saves Small Communities From Flood Disasters. D. NSA Leads the Improvement of Flood Detection Tools D People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans that are similar to humans living for around 50 to 70 years. Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors (肿瘤) developing. To be precise (精确的), they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy. According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improve the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors. “An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution (进化) of large body sizes in many animals,” the study author Dr. Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and rats. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass. This phenomenon (现象) was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not use. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive. The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in rats, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancer spreading or even developing in the first place. “Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the School of Medicine, the University of Utah. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.” 32. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer? A. They have a rather large body size. B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage. C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors. D. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing. 33. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals? A. Deadly tumors. B. The huge body mass. C. Cells killing themselves. D. Sensitivity to DNA damage. 34. What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to? A. Larger animals have protection from TP53. B. The risk of cancer is not related to body sizes. C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones. D. The huger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have. 35. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer. B. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people. C. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53. D. The extra copies of elephants’ genes are used to cure cancer patients. 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Whoobie was the smartest dog I have ever known.
