One winter， a fisherman—Jim Savage—was braving the freezing temperatures when he noticed a baby dolphin struggling to free herself from another fisherman’s trap （陷阱）—the fishing net. Jim spoke to her and she calmed down as he cut her free from the net. Seeing she was too tired to swim away， he called the Wildlife Conservation Commission and they rescued the dolphin， named her Winter and took her to the center to get treatment.
Winter was placed in a holding tank （容器） and the team put a feeding tube in her throat. Soon， though， Winter learned how to eat from a bottle. But the net wrapped around Winter’s tail had caused her tail to fall off piece by piece. Eventually all that was left was a fleshy stump （殘肢）. Though Winter did finally start to swim， she taught herself an entirely original way—to swing her tail stump from side to side like a fish.
She learned very well and learned how to trust and love the people who cared for her. And she made a new nonhuman friend—Panama， another rescued dolphin. The two became lifelong friends， completely inseparable.
But the trainers were worried. Her original moving way prevented her from growing properly. Then Kevin Carroll， a dolphin lover and maker of prosthetic limbs （假肢） for people， stepped in. With a team of experts， vets， and trainers， Kevin developed a new tail for Winter. Winter was retrained to use the device to swim properly， and with lots of hard work she did it！
Word about the disabled dolphin got out and everyone could relate to the dolphin. Now she seems to be connected with everyone—from adults with prostheses to a little girl who didn’t want to wear her hearing aid until she met Winter.
24. What made Winter calm down according to Paragraph 1？
A. The fishing net. B. Jim’s words. C. The rescue team. D. The new tail.
25. Why did Jim phone the Wildlife Conservation Commission？
A. To deal with a device. B. To meet the baby dolphin.
C. To look after the baby dolphin. D. To rescue the other fisherman.
26. What made the trainers worried about Winter according to Paragraph 4？
A. Her health. B. Her resistance to the new tail.
C. Her relationship with Panama. D. Her unusual moving style.
27. What would the author think of the outcome of the event？
A. It’s great. B. It’s unexpected. C. It’s humorous. ; D. It’s discouraging.
C
Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. Located on the shore of Sullivan’s Island off the coast of South Carolina， an award-winning beach house was built to replace one smashed （撞击） to pieces by Hurricane Hugo that damaged 36，000 homes in the state a few years ago. But the new beach house on Sullivan’s Island should be able to stand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.
At first sight， the house on Sullivan’s Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it like “a large party lantern” at night， according to architect Ray Huff， who created the cleverly designed beach house. But looks can be deceiving. The wooden frame of the house is reinforced with long steel rods （鋼条） to give it extra strength.
To further protect the house from hurricane damage， Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings （木樁）—long， slender columns （柱子） of wood fixed deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure， but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges （浪涌）. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. “These swells of water come ashore at huge speeds and cause most of the damage done to beachfront buildings，” said Huff.
Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially hidden by the house’s ground-to-roof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn’t look like it’s standing with its pants pulled up，” said Huff. “In the event of a storm surge， the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house，” the architect explained.
28. Why is the award-winning beach house quite strong？
A. It is strengthened by steel rods.B. It is in the shape of a shell.
C. It has many columns. D. It is built with timber.
29. Why did Huff raise the house 2.7 meters off the ground？
A. To fight against big winds. B. To make it stronger.
C. To break the waves. D. To stop water from getting in.
30. From the last paragraph， it can be inferred that the shell should be ________.
A. fancy-looking B. water-proof C. breakable D. extremely strong
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text？
A. To advise us how to avoid disasters.
B. To tell us process of designing houses.
C. To introduce smart designs of a house.
D. To give us some information about hurricane.
D
The fight is on to be free from air pollution in our cities. While the best solution in the long-term would be to ban fossil-fueled cars， that won’t help the millions who are dying in the meantime， and so some high-tech solutions are now on the cards.
London’s air pollution problem has been getting worse for years. In March 2016， ten London pigeons （鸽子） became famous. These pigeons took off to the sky， wearing backpacks monitoring air pollution. Once in the air， the backpacks sent live air-quality updates to the smartphones of the Londoners below.
Another promising approach can be found in Beijing. A seven-meter-high “Smog Free Tower”， designed by a Dutch scientist， Daan Roosegaarde， opened in Beijing’s 751 D Park in September 2016. It is a huge， outdoor air purifier （凈化器）. Airborne particles （颗粒） are sucked into the tower and caught by a dust-removal plate. Finally， clean air is blown out of the other end. “Changing smog particles does not take much power，” Roosegaarde said.
As for what to do with the collected PM waste， he has currently set up a business making jewellery out of the waste. Prince Charles owns a set of “smog free” cufflinks （袖扣）. If collected on at a big scale， Roosegaarde believes it could even be used as a building material.
Mexico City has an alternative solution. Looking to Nature to maximize the surface area of a building， Allison Dring， a Berlin-based architect， managed to catch light and wind from all sides. She is now making a building material by burning agricultural crop by-products in the absence of oxygen. “It means that you are actually taking carbon out of the sky， transforming it into a material， and then using it to build， ” says Dring.
The fight against outdoor air pollution is really just starting. Even if none of the ideas take off， at least the prince’s cufflinks， the special building surface and pigeons wearing backpacks will have brought the issue more to the public’s attention.
32. What do the underlined words “on the cards” in Paragraph 1 probably mean？
A. Hardly to achieve. B. Widely questioned.
C. Likely to happen. D. Publicly welcomed.
33. The ten pigeons in London were used to _______.
A. monitor air pollution B. warn Londoners
C. update weather forecast D. deliver backpacks
34. What can we learn about the Smog Free Tower？
A. It is the first air purifier in the world. B. Its power consumption is high.
C. Light and wind can be caught by it. D. PM waste from it can be reused.
35. What’s the best title for the text？
A. When Can Humans Keep Away from Smog？
B. Why Is Technology Used to Fight Smog？
C. How Are the World’s Cities Fighting Smog？
D. What Makes Smog a Worldwide Problem？

Zoey admits it was a little sad saying goodbye to her fish. Zoey’s class at Hawthorne Elementary School spent most of the school year raising the fish from the time when they were nothing more than little eggs with eyes.
The program the Hawthorne kids took part in is called “Trout （鳟鱼） in the Classroom”. The kids at Wilson Middle School in Fishersville took part in the project， too.
“I got to feed them every morning and watch them grow up，” said seventh-grader Lauren Clayton. “We have to protect them， or some of the fish could go extinct.” Lauren was right. But later， pollution， over-fishing and loss of natural habitat have pushed some species to the danger of extinction.
Thanks to the kids in the program， trout are being reintroduced into rivers and streams across the country. And by doing that， the kids are helping to restore their local ecosystems—the natural balance that existed before human disturbed it.
Because the fish are in their classrooms， the kids are responsible for making sure there is cool， clean water， proper food and proper living conditions in the tanks.
By the middle of May， they were “as big as a finger”. That is， they are old enough to be released into Oneida Creek. “Remember to swim back here to meet us and eat the food we bring little trout.”
A. The kids can learn some scientific lessons at school.
B. Make sure when a worm land on the surface， never bite.
C. It’s a national project supported by a conservation group.
D. Finally， Zoey read them goodbye letters before letting them go.
E. They can also see how our actions affect the trout’s ability to survive.
F. But she honestly thinks it’s good that they are going to a natural home.
G. When America was first founded， rivers and streams across the continent were filled with fish.
