Hearing the news, all I cared about was whether or not I could still eat my favorite food eggs and sour cream. When I heard the answer was yes, I was happy. I had no idea how much my life was about to change.Keeping diabetes under control is almost a fulltime job. In my case, I have to check my levels about 6 to 12 times a day. But even with all that monitoring (监测), theres still a chance that my blood sugar levels could swing dangerously high or low. That was when Jackie came to the rescue. Shes a dog thats been trained to smell my blood sugar levels. If she thinks theyve dropped or risen, she warns me by giving me her paw or even pulling the covers off me if Im sleeping.Explaining my condition to other kids hasnt been easy. When I met my best friend Joanna, the first thing she asked me was about the pack I always wear around my waist. It is used to keep my blood sugar in a healthy range. I was worried that shed think it was strange, so I lied and said it was a phone. When I finally came clean, she didnt care. I felt so relieved.Though Ill probably have to monitor my blood sugar forever, scientists are working on devices(装备) that could make it easier. But they need money first. Thats why Joanna and I are traveling to California in October to do a 105 mile bike ride well be raising money for diabetes awareness and research.21The author was happy probably because he/she _Awould become fine soonBcould eat what he/she likesCknew nothing about his/her diseaseDcould change his/her way of living22What can we learn about Jackie?AShe likes waking the author from sleep.BShe serves as the authors servant at home.CShe helps monitor the authors blood sugar levels.DShe often pleases the author by showing her paw.23The underlined phrase “came clean” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”Atold the truth Bopened the packCmade an apology Dthrew the phone away24The author tries to raise money for diabetes research by _Atraveling round the worldBjoining in a fierce competitionCriding a bike with his/her friendDdoing a parttime job in a hospitalBIf the Olympic Games are a history of mankind, wrestling (摔跤) is the prologue (序幕). When the ancient Games of the Olympic were born, wrestling was already an ancient game. Widely recognized as the worlds oldest competitive sport, wrestling appeared in a series of Egyptian wall paintings as early as 5，000 years ago. When the ancient Olympic Games began in 776 BC, more than two thousand years later, it included wrestling and in the years that followed, wrestling featured as the main event.The sport would return in a similar role when the Olympic Games returned after a 1，500year absence in 1896. Organizers, seeking direct links to ancient times, found wrestling was very popular across much of the ancient world, from Greece, Assyria and Babylon to India, China and Japan. GrecoRoman wrestling, a style which was believed to be passed down from the Greek and Roman wrestlers of old was brought back into use.In GrecoRoman wrestling, the wrestlers used only their arms and upper bodies to attack. They could hold only those same parts of their opponents (对手). It worked nicely from a historical attitude, but another cheerful and relaxing style was sweeping across Great Britain and the United States by then. Known as “catch as catch can”， it had become popular at fairs and festivals in both countries.In 1904, the Olympic Games added the second wrestling event and called it “freestyle”. Now, wrestlers could use their legs for pushing, lifting and tripping, and they could hold opponents above or below the waist.25The first ancient Games of the Olympiad were held almost _ years ago.A776 B1，500 C3，000 D5，00026What does the writer want to tell us by saying wrestling is the prologue?AThe ancient Olympic Games have a long history.BWrestling was an important game in the ancient Olympic Games.CWrestling is popular all the time.DWrestling has a really long history.27.

It is the largest wilderness in the entire country and makes up 25% of the wetlands in the state. The park is home to several rare and endangered species. It is also the third largest national park in the US, after Death Valley and Yellowstone. Each year, about 1 million tourists visit the park. On a global level, it has been announced as a World Heritage Site.Unlike most other national parks, Everglades National Park was created to protect an ecosystem (生态系统) from damage. In 1947, President Harry Truman spoke at the official opening of Everglades National Park, saying the goal of creating the park was to protect forever a wild area that could never be replaced.10,000 different islands make up Everglades National Park. Each of these islands is lived by natural wildlife. The Everglades is home to about 15 species that are endangered. In addition, more than 350 bird species and 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish live within the park. The Everglades is also home to 40 species of mammals and 50 reptile species.There are many ways to explore the Everglades. Visitors can see alligators (短吻鳄) while hiking the Anhinga Trail. The Everglades is one of the only places on Earth where freshwater alligators and saltwater crocodiles live in the same area. Visitors using airboats are likely to see large groups of birds. Some visitors might enjoy riding bicycles through Shark Valley. Others may want to move slowly through waters where they can see insects and wildlife closely.According to experts, changes to the Everglades are becoming a danger to several different kinds of wildlife. They say it is a result of actions the US government began more than 50 years ago, and settlers began even earlier.32In the first paragraph, were mainly told that _.AFlorida is famous for its wetlandsBthe US has three important national parksCEverglades National Park is of great valueDEverglades National Park is popular with visitors33How does the author describe the richness of wildlife in the park?ABy listing figures.
