There are twenty festivos for the whole country in one year! In Britain, people get more holiday allowances(津贴)than Colombians but fewer ba
13、nk holidays. There can be even more festivos in Colombia, depending on which region of Colombia you live in. This is because different regions have their own holidays. For example, some regions have a patron saint (守护神), so they have an extra festivo to celebrate that saint.However, there are some d
14、ays that are national holidays for historical reasons. There is an Independence Day celebration on July 20 every year. This is just like Bastille Day in France on July 14, or Independence Day in the United States on July 4th. Other important festivos in Colombia are: Labour Day on May 1, and Columbu
15、s Day on October 12. Columbus Day is a historical bank holiday that almost every county on the continent of America celebrates. This includes Colombia, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Mexico and the United States. It is memorialization of the day when the Italian sailor, Christopher Columbus, first reached
16、land on the continent in the year 1492.

19、eeing me for the first time. “Grandma, you are an antique(古董),” she said. “You are old. Antiques are old. You are my antique.”I was not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I took out the Websters Dictionary and read the definition to Jenny. I explained, “An antique is not only old, its an object
20、 existing since or belonging to earlier times.a work of art. a piece of furniture. Antiques are treasured,” I told Jenny as I put away the dictionary. “They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable. In order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 yea
21、rs old.”“Im only 67,” I reminded Jenny.We looked around the house for other antiques, besides me. There was a desk that was handed down from Rone aunt to another and finally to our family. “Its very old,” I told Jenny. “I try to keep it polished and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with ant
22、iques.There was a picture on the wall bought at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. “Now thats an antique,” I said with pride. “Over 100 years old.” Of course it was marked up and scratched (刮坏) and not in very good condition. “Sometimes age does that, but the marks are good marks. They show living, o
23、r being around. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become.” Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my house for a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didnt buy it new. One thing about antiques, I explain
24、ed to Jenny, was that they usually had a story. Theyd been in one home and then another, handed down from one family to another. Theyd lasted through years. They could have been thrown away, or ignored, or destroyed, or lost. But instead, they survived.For a moment, Jenny looked thoughtful. “l dont
25、have any antiques but you,” she said. Then her face brightened, “Could I take you to school for show and tell?”“Only if I fit into your backpack,” I answered. And then Jennys antique lifted her up and embraced her in a hug that would last through the years.24. Why did Grandma read the definition of
26、“antique” to Jenny?A. To tell Jenny the importance of protecting antiques.B. To list all the important characteristics of antiques.C. To change Jennys shallow understanding of antiques.D. To express her disappointment at being called “antique”.25. Which of the following information did grandma expre
27、ss to Jenny?A. The desk reminded her of her dear relatives.B. There was usually a sad story behind each antique.C. She planned to buy a new vase to replace the old one.D. The spots on the picture showed its age and value. 26. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Grandmas Antique B. Jennys A
28、ntiqueC. A Tour of Antiques D. A Story of Antiques CHow does an ecosystem work? What makes the population of different species the way they are? Why are there so many flies and so few wolves? To find an answer, scientists have built mathematical, models of food webs, noting who eats whom and how muc
29、h each one eats.With such models, scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs. Most food webs, for example, consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones. When a predator（掠食动物） always eats huge numbers of a single prey（猎物）, the two species are strongly linked；when
30、 a predator lives on various species, they are weakly linked. Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term. If a predator can eat several species, it can survive the extinction(灭绝)of one of them. And if a predator can move on to another spe
31、cies that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare, the switch allows to original prey to recover. The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction.Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small changes of top predators can lea
32、d to big effects throughout entire ecosystems. In the 1960s, scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species-including species they did not directly attack.And unplanned human activities have proved the idea
33、 of top-down control by top predators to be true. In the ocean, we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale, while on land, we killed off large predators such as wolves. These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.Scientists have built an early-warning system based
34、on mathematical models. Ideally, the system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pushing an ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline. Prevention is key, scientists say, because once ecosystems pass their tipping point（临界点）, it
35、 is remarkably difficult for them to return.27. What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical of food webs?A. The living habits of species in food webs.B. The rules governing food webs of the ecosystems.C. The approaches to studying the species in the ecosystems.D. The differences be
36、tween weak and strong links in food webs.28. A strong link is found between two species when a predator_.A. has a wide food choice.B. can easily find new prey.C. sticks to one prey speciesD. can quickly move to another place29. What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4?A. Industr
37、ial activities help keep food webs stable.B. Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.C. Species of commercial value dominate other species.D. Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.30. How does an early-warning system help us maintain the ecological balance?A. By getting
38、 illegal practices under control.B. By stopping us from killing large predators.C. By bringing the broken-down ecosystems back to normal.D. By signaling the urgent need for taking preventive action.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Four Habits to Help You SucceedNobody
