Fionas in-laws lived in New Zealand and every time the family went over to visit them, we got to mind the dog. Fiona would also leave her bronze Landcruiser at our place, parked right where Sunny could see it, for as long as the dog could check that the car was still there, which he did regularly, he was happy. Sunny knew from past experience that if the car was there, the family would come back. Each time they did, I jokingly told them not to bother picking up Sunny because he was a joy to have around.He was beautiful with the family, and when an unexpected baby came along - 17 years after her older sister - Sunny was lovely and gentle with her.In April 2017 we learnt that the family was relocating to New Zealand. Realizing the bond that existed between them and Sunny, I knew they would want to take him. But with limited finances they found it too expensive to take their much-loved dog.So we adopted him.Their car, yet to be sold, was parked at our side gate and Sunny kept watching over it, checking on it each day before going for a walk. I think it was his security blanket. Then, a few months later, when the car was finally sold, poor Sunny had to adjust to losing yet another part of his family.With the car gone, Sunny discovered that cats visit the area and this has held his interest (though not as much as the car!). Weve had a few problems, but Sunny has now settled in very well and is far better trained than any of our previous dogs.Sunny is lovely company and has been a beautiful addition to our family.25. Why did Fiona park her car at her parents house every time she went to visit her relatives in New Zealand?A. Because it was another part of Sunnys family.B. Because Sunny took great interest in watching it.C. Because it was Sunnys routine before going for a walk.D. Because to Sunny it meant the family would come back.26. What can we learn from the text?A. Fiona once joked about attending to Sunny.B. The family had two kids with a huge age difference.C. Cats could hold Sunnys attention as well as the car did.D. The family moved to New Zealand with their beloved dog.27. What does the underlined phrase mean?A. a toy to comfort crying kids B. something to reduce angerC. a measure to provide protection D. a blanket to make you feel safe28. Which of the following can best describe Sunnys character?A.loyal and adaptable B. expensive and loyalC. naughty andexpensiveD. naughty and adaptableCAbout five years ago, an American electrical engineer named Scott Brusaw and his wife Julie came up with the idea of putting solar panels on the ground rather than the roof. Then they began to develop the Solar Roadway. The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing safer driving conditions, along with power and data delivery. They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways.Each Solar Road Panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and contains a microprocessor (微处理器) that monitors and controls the panel, while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling overhead. The inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems. The top of the Solar Road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions (抓地力) they need.According to the inventors, the Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest stop, or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots.The inventors say their Solar Roadway has many functions and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and runways. The Federal Highway Administration has given Brusaw $100,000 to develop the invention and Brusaw hopes to build a smart-road parking lot in the coming spring. 29. In the inventors opinion, the Solar Roadway _.A. is too expensive to build at presentB. costs no more money than current roadsC. can provide as many data as present computersD. will bring them a large sum of money30. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refers to_.A. the panelsB. the vehiclesC. the researchersD. the inventors31. It can be inferred from the text that _.A. the Solar Roadway has already been put into useB. $100,000 is only enough to build a smart-road parking lotC. the Solar Roadway is not available for gas-powered carsD. future electric vehicles can be charged anytime and anywhere32. What can be the best title for the text?A. The Solar Roada much faster roadB. The great changes on the roadwayC. Solar-powered smart road of the futureD. The influence the Solar Roadway has on peopleDTencent announced yesterday that it will limit the daily time for youngsters to play its popular King of Glory game after parents and schools in Shanghai and other areas complained their children had become addicted to playing it.From tomorrow, children younger than 12 will only be allowed to play the game for a maximum of one hour a day, and after 9 pm, they will be banned from logging into it, said Tencent. Those older than 12 will be able to play a maximum two hours a day.The game system will remind players the time they have been playing and young players will be forced to log out when the time is up.Tencent claimed these were the strictest measures in Chinas game industry to prevent addiction and the company expected they would ease parents anxiety.The company also said it had updated its system for parents to keep tabs on their children using its games.Since February, parents can receive messages when children log in and spend money on the game after they connect childrens game accounts with their mobile phone numbers.Now, parents can connect phones, tablets or computers that their children use to play games, so that they can keep an eye on the children even if they have several game accounts, Tencent said.Song Zhe, a father of a Shanghai high school student, welcomed the measures but was not sure if they would be sufficiently effective. “I like the system that could lock up the devices as children can register many accounts,” he said, “but children are so clever that they can always think out counter measures.”33. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A.Girls under 8 are able to log in the game at 10 pm.B. Kids under 11 could play the game for at most 7 hours in a week.C. Those older than 16 are able to play the game all the time.D. Children over 13 can log in the game after playing 3 hours in a day.34. What can we learn about the game system according to the passage?A. Parents should pay attention to their phones all the time in case they miss any message.B. Parents need to connect their tablets or computers to the game accounts of their children.C. Parents can be reminded of the time their children have been playing the games.D. Parents can monitor their children even if their children try to register different game accounts.35. What did Song Zhes father think of the game system?A. He was uncertain about the effectiveness of the system.B. Children were too dull to break out of the system.C. The game system was absolutely welcomed by him.D. Children could register lots of accounts to unlock the devices.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Danger in sugar?We live in a sweet world. The average American kid consumes more than 20 teaspoons of sugar per day. _36_.We all know that too much sugar isnt good for you. But did we know it could be toxic (poisonous)?
