The Sequoia National Forest is in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is home to the most massive trees in the world. At its entrance is the Trail of 100 Giants. This is a short, easy paved trail that people can walk. It gives visitors great views of more than a hundred sequoias (美洲杉). These trees grow only in the special geology of the slopes of the Sierra Nevadas. The largest of the trees is 20 feet around and 220 feet tall. You almost need a telescope to see the top of it!

The sequoia trees that line the Trail of 100 Giants have stood for generations. Many of them started growing in the Middle Ages. The trees watched the first European settle in California. They grew through the Gold Rush in the mid-1800s and have lived through two world wars. The trees were declared a national monument (纪念) in 2000.

Then, in October of 2011, two of the giants fell. One photographer from Germany recorded the trees crashing to the ground with a video camera. Watchers were astonished (吃惊地) that these enormous trees could topple like babies trying to take their first step. One explanation was that the summer had been very wet. The ground was quite hydrated. The earth may have been too soggy (湿软) to hold the shallow roots of the trees.

Some officials fear that the foot traffic from tourists might have weakened the trees. Even pollution from cars visiting the park could have damaged them. It might be, though, that the trees were simply old. It was the time in their life cycle to die.

The trees may have been as much as 1,500 years old. They were more than 200 feet tall. The two that fell were connected at their base. Part scientists believe that when the first one fell, it brought the second one down with it.

What should be done with the fallen trees? They fell across a popular path. The trunks are too big for most walkers to climb over. The path they block is designed for people in wheelchairs. There is no other path that these people can use. The Park Service asked the public what they thought.

Many biologists think the trees should be left just as they are. Letting nature take its course. Some people feel that the Forest Service should drill a tunnel through the trunks, allowing people simply to walk through. Some want to build a bridge over the trees, and some think the path should go around the trees.

Park officials have decided to take their time deciding what to do. Since the trees are national monuments now, any decision must be carefully considered. The sequoias are a rare treasure. Even in death, they should be treated with respect.

28．From ________, we know that the trees have seen much of the history of the USA．

A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 3 C．Paragraph 2 D．Paragraph 4

29．Read this sentence from the article. Watchers were astonished that these enormous trees could topple like babies trying to take their first steps.

A．stand up B．move quickly C．fall over D．grow to be very tall

30．How does the author present the event of the two trees falling at the same time?

A．As an eyewitness account.

B．As a review of different explanations about the cause.

C．As a list of the benefits of creating national parks.

D．As part of a record of daily events in the park.

31．What is the main idea of the article?

A．Not many people have the chance to see a sequoia fall.

B．The death of a sequoia is an important natural event.

C．It is lucky nobody was hurt when the sequoias fell.

D．People should do more to help save the sequoias.

My name is Luis. Two weeks ago on Saturday my friend Justin and I were biking along Riverside Trail. All at once Justin shouted, “There’s something sparking under those bushes!”

We started poking around. I spotted something shining and exclaimed, “Oh my gosh! It’s a wallet with jewels on it.”

After I picked it up, we saw it had imitation jewels that reflected (反射) the sunlight.

“Let’s see if there is identification,” I said. “We should try to find the owner.”

We found photos, some money, and a library card for Mary Johnson. Justin said, “We can find a phone number on the Internet.”

We headed for the computer at Justin’s house and searched for “Johnson” in a directory for our town. We found eight Mary Johnsons and two M. Johnsons!

Justin asked, “Should we throw in the towel?”

I said, “No, we shouldn’t give up. Making phone calls might not work anyway. We should look for other clues first because she may live in another town, or she may have an unlisted number.”

We looked at the photos. One was old. Another was of a boy about two years old with “William, 2019” in handwriting on the back. A third photo showed a girl about seven in front of Mount Rushmore, and “Annalee, 2019” was written on the back.

Justin guessed, “Those two must be Mary Johnson’s children.”

I said, “On Monday we can ask teachers at school if they know Annalee Johnson.”

Justin said, “That’s a long time for Mary Johnson to wait for her wallet, and maybe Annalee goes to another school in town, so let’s look for other clues.”

We went through the wallet again and found an appointment card for an eye examination. The doctor’s office was in a mall in town, and the appointment was for two o’clock on Saturday afternoon—that same day!

I said, “We have to get to the mall soon. We have no time to lose.”

Justin said, “I’ll ask my mom to drive us.”

We got to the mall at exactly three minutes before two and sat down in the waiting room. In a few minutes, a woman walked in and said, “I have a two o’clock appointment. My name is Mary Johnson.”

Justin and I introduced ourselves and showed her the wallet. Her eyes lit up. She said, “What a relief! I have been beside myself!”

Mrs. Johnson thanked us over and over. She was elated to have back her money and the photos of her children and great-grandparents.

After we explained where we found the wallet, she said, “I took the children for a bike ride this morning. Annalee rode a bike, but William was in a cart attached to my bike. He must have found the wallet in my bag and tossed it from the cart.”

She added, “You should have a reward.” and handed each of us five dollars. It was worth missing out bike ride!

32．What is the most important problem in the passage?

A．Mary Johnson has a common last name.

B．There are too many schools to check.

C．The boys want to find the owner of the wallet.

D．The boys must get to the mall before Mary Johnson arrives.

33．Which detail explains why Luis spots the wallet?

A．It contains a library card. B．It has imitation jewels that sparkle.

C．The boys are biking on Riverside Trail. D．Mary Johnson took her children for a bike ride.

34．What is a reason they boys give up the plan to telephone?

A．There is not enough time. B．There are too many Mary Johnsons.

C．Justin’s computer has broken down. D．They would rather finish the bike ride.

35．How are they boys as problem solvers?

A．Justin is a better detective. B．Luis is more ready to give up.

C．Both like to follow clues to solve a problem. D．Both want to make all the decisions about what to do.

His uncles and cousins all played instruments and sang. So at the age of six, Richard started piano lessons at home. At the age of 13, Renald Richard went to see band perform at a church dance.

Soon Richard became Charles’ band leader. Renald Richard toured all over the South and West with Ray Charles. Sitting in the back seat of the car on the way to a gig(演奏会), Richard wrote the song I Got a Woman for Charles.

Renald taught in private and public schools in Louisiana and New York for over 30 years and stopped teaching in 1991. Living in Southern Florida, Richard was still active at the age of 92.
