2．An elderly couple in the UK claimed that they were held hostage by a pair of seagulls nesting on the roof of their home.Every time they tried to leave，the birds would become aggressive and attack them.
One time，when Roy Pickard，the 71-year-old husband，decided to take his chances and go outside，he was hit so hard on the back of the head that he had to be taken to the hospital for help.Local authorities have installed a gazebo outside the couple's home，which should offer some protection.That's the best they can do for now.
"The whole thing has been terrible，" Roy old reporters. "I've not been able to go out of the front door.If I try to get out of the door，the two adult birds are right there，and I've got no chance.It's really frightening.My wife isn't well at the moment，so we're relying on me to get out." Luckily，the Pickards' garage is connected to their house and he can get out through there when he needs to do some shopping，but he doesn't dare get out of the car to close the garage door，so he always leaves it open until he comes back.
Roy has complained about the situation to both the local authorities and animal organizations like the RSPCA and RSPB，but their solutions have not been very helpful.The Wyer Council says that seagulls are protected while nesting，so all they can do is try to make the couple's life bearable by installing a gazebo and making arrangements so that the 77-year-old wife，Brenda，can reach her private appointments safely.Unfortunately，animal organizations wouldn't help the Pickards either.For now，all they can do is wait for the chicks to fly away. "The RSPCA and RSPB have been no help whatever.They seem to put the rights of these birds above those of people ，which is ridiculous，" Roy said.
（1）What is the problem facing the Pickards？
A．The door of their garage can't be closed.
B．They can't walk out because of the seagulls.
C．Their pet birds often attack them aggressively.
D．A flock of birds nested on the roof of their house.
（2）What did local authorities do to help the couple？
A．Tell them to wait until the birds fly away.
B．Build a gazebo to provide some protection.
C．Send people to guard them outside the home.
D．Make arrangements for them to have appointments.
（3）What can we know about the Wyer Council according to the text？
A．It wants to protect the seagulls.
B．It is looking for an ideal solution.
C．It will help Roy do some shopping.
D．It hopes the couple can lead a simple life.
（4）What hopes the infer from Roy's words in paragraph 4？
A．The RSPCA and RSPB are useless.
B．Birds are more valuable than humans.
C．It is ridiculous for people to help others.
D．Roy is disappointed with the authorities' actions.組卷：7引用：3難度：0.5 -
3．In a world where "no news is good news" and good news is not news，the media doesn't tell stories of good behavior very often，but gives a long description of conflicts instead.However，a new study suggests that good news can actually encourage good actions.
The study examines the warm，encouraging feeling we get from watching someone act with courage or kindness—a feeling known as "moral elevation （道德提升）." In the study，researchers explored whether people are encouraged to do good by simply watching the news on acts of kindness.They also tried to determine whether common acts of kindness would be enough to get fallings of morals elevation，or whether the actions had to be special or amazing.
People read articles and watched videos describing acts of common or uncommon kindness.Some read about an organization that creates neighborhood gardens，while others saw a music video showing how the singer helped poor communities around the world.People then had the chance to give money to others or keep it for themselves.
The results show that hearing about these good actions made people more likely to give away their money—but these actions must be amazing or special good actions，not just everyday acts of kindness.What's more，people who saw themselves as highly moral people were likely to give money more often than those who did not.
This study has important influences on the news media，which likes to report negative events more often than positive ones.The results show that even a small change by the media could have deep influences. "We have every reason to believe that even a week stimulus（激勵），like a story of moral goodness，can bring out moral elevation，" write the authors.So，if the news were to report no good actions more often，perhaps we would see a deep influence among readers.
（1）What does the media think of the news on good actions？
A．It is too rare.
B．It is of no value.
C．It is difficult to get.
D．It is more popular.
（2）What did the study try to find out？
A．Who is likely to enjoy good news.
B．Why people like good news more.
C．What kind of news people like best.
D．How people can be influenced by good news.
（3）When will people do good actions according to the study？
A．When they've known about special good actions.
B．When they've hope to encourage others by kind acts.
C．When they've been helped by others in daily life.
D．When they hear about people who do good actions.
（4）What does the author want to show in the last paragraph？
A．Traditional media still has a place nowadays.
B．Readers should choose to read good news more.
C．People should be encouraged to do good actions.
D．Making right news choices is important to the media.組卷：7引用：2難度：0.7

"Number 7，Jobie Nymble，takes the lead，" cried the announcer. "Just one more hurdle （跨欄） and-Jobie Nymble from Riverside Middle School takes first place in the girls' 100-meter hurdles！"
"County championships，here we come." yelled Jobie，patting（輕拍）her worn green track spikes（釘鞋）.They were her lucky shoes and she loved them. "Next Saturday，we're taking the gold home，" Jobie whispered to her spikes.
"Don't forget，guys." said Marisol，one of her teammates. "My birthday party is next Friday at Hidden Park.You should all come."
The day of Marisol's party came.Jobie put on her favorite clothes：her blue shorts，an old track T-shirt，and her lucky spikes.The party had begun when Jobie arrived at Hidden Park.She stopped by the track first，planning to do some running exercise.Even at that end of the park，music and the smell of grilled food filled the air.
Two of Jobie's teammates rushed toward her，breathless and barefoot. "Come on，" they shouted. "You have to try the slide." Jobie's eyes shot toward the party area. "Slide？What sli ...？"
Suddenly，she saw it.The BIGGEST inflatable（充氣的）slide she had ever seen was on the far side of the park.Smiling kids zoomed down the slide at unspeakable speeds.
Without thinking twice，Jobie threw off her spikes and ran fast toward the slide.Its ladder rose to the sky，but she reached the top in no time.She slid down，sped to the edge，and closed her eyes as she let go.Jobie couldn't get enough fun from the slide.
When it was finally time to go home，she unwillingly made her way back to the track where she'd left her shoes.As she eyed the area from a distance，panic set in.Jobie picked up the pace，her heart pounding louder the closer she got.When she reached the place she'd left them.jye.ai heart stopped.
"They're gone!" she screamed. "My lucky spikes are gone." Jobie's teammates helped her search the park.No lucky spikes. "So long，gold，" Jobie groaned （嘆息）.
