The fifthgraders wanted to set a Guinness world record.Ryan Novolsel and his twin brother Luke hope that Guinness World Records will recognize their school for having the most sets of twins in a single grade. Some of their friends had already tried to jump on a pogo stick longer than anyone else. One even attempted to produce the loudest burp(打嗝). But none of them came close. Then Luke and Ryan realized that there were lots of other twins in their grade at Highcrest Middle School. They did a full count，and were amazed to discover 24 sets of twins in all.“We were absolutely shocked，”Luke and Ryans mother，Nancy Fendley，told the Associated Press. The boys figured they now had their Guinness record：most pairs of twins in one grade. The current record is 16 pairs，and is shared by Valley Southwoods Freshman High School in Iowa，Staples High School in Connecticut，and Maine South High School in Illinois.Earlier this year，Luke and Ryanwith help from their parentssent an application to Guinness. They added birth certificates，photos，and proof that all of the sets of twins attend Highcrest Middle School. They expected to hear back in several weeks on whether they actually set a new world record.Since 1980，twin birth rates have more than doubled in the United States，according to the Centers for Disease Control(CDC). The age of mothers has gone up over the years，and women in their 30s are more likely to give birth to twins. In 2009，one in every 30 infants was born a twin，compared with one in 53 infants in 1980.For Highcrest Middle School，the rise in twin births could be a ticket into the record books. Dave Palzet，the schools principal，said he is proud of his students effort.“I think it is wonderful that they have taken it on themselves to research and work with the world record officials to obtain this great honor for Highcrest Middle School，”he said.【解题导语】Luke和Ryan发现他们学校有二十四对双胞胎，他们向吉尼斯世界纪录提交了申请，希望创造一项一所学校单年级双胞胎最多的世界纪录。1According to Paragraph 2，what Luke and Ryans friends did shows that _Athey really have a gift for doing sportsBthey are interested in setting a Guinness world recordCthey have tried many things to inspire Luke and RyanDthey are trying their best to help the twins set a world record答案B推理判断题。根据第二段的Some of their.came close.可知Luke和Ryan的一些朋友已经尝试过创造一些世界纪录了，故可推断他们对创造世界纪录很感兴趣。2From Nancy Fendleys response in Paragraph 3，we infer that Luke and Ryan _Ahad thought they were the only twins at their schoolBdidnt expect there were so many twins at their schoolCthought there would be at most 16 pairs of twins at their schoolDfelt disappointed when they figured out the number of twins at their school答案B推理判断题。根据第三段的“We were.told the Associated Press.可知这对双胞胎没有料到他们学校里有这么多双胞胎。”3We know that compared to over thirty years ago，now in America _Amothers tend to give birth to babies in their early 20sBmothers are less likely to give birth in their 30sCmothers are more likely to give birth to twinsDmothers want to have more kids答案C细节理解题。根据第五段的In 2009，one.in 53 infants in 1980.可知跟三十多年前相比，现在双胞胎出生率更高。4What is Dave Palzets attitude toward his students effort?AAngry.

The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live. One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years. The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.【小题1】The reason for Roberts attempts to kill himself was that _.
