26、   The British poet John Donne once said: “No man is an island; every book is a world.” As an enthusiastic reader, I can’t agree with the latter part of the sentence more. Every summer, I endeavor to find some peaceful places where I can attack some classics without being disturbed. Thomas Hardy wants to live far from the crazy crowd. I am no friend to chaos, either.

I read George Orwell’s 1984 in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms. 1984 is a good book that needs deep reflection. Attempting The Sound and the Fury lying on the bed of a poorly-occupied motel, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes, but then my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn’t keep my eyes open.

But this summer I find myself at a loss. I’m not quite interested in J. D. Salinger, say, or Frankenstein. There’s always War and Peace which I’ve covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite — once more into The Call of the Wild or Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to belong to serious literature.

And then there’s John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath (愤怒). This title does not amaze but confuse. We’re never short of sour grapes, but we’ve never heard of angry grapes. Anyway grapes are my favorite fruit in summer. These stone fruits can always make me feel cheerful and peaceful all at once.

【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A.The author has a cottage in New England.

B.Both of the reading attempts were fruitful.

C.1984 is a book that needs careful thought.

D.The Sound and the Fury was set in a poorly-occupied hotel.

【2】What does the underlined phrase“get bogged down”in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Get confused. B.Be carried away.

C.Be disturbed. D.Make no progress.

【3】Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like cheating?

A.He finishes them quickly. B.He hardly understands them.

C.He should read something serious. D.He gets amazed by their titles.

【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A.To share his reading experience. B.To encourage readers to read books.

C.To introduce good books to readers. D.To condemn(谴责)the chaotic world we live in.

27、Ways to Book the Cheapest Flights Possible

Unless you are one of those first-class fliers for whom money is not a problem,【1】. But ticket prices change every day, and your tickets could end up costing your whole vacation budget. Don't worry. With a little creativity and a lot of research, it is possible to fly affordably.

Plan Accordingly

If you do not have much flexibility（弹性）in your dates, buy your tickets at least 2-4 months in advance.【2】. Air fares will rise steadily as the time nears. However, if you have the flexibility to drop everything and go, last minute deals can save you much.

Set air fare Alerts（新知通告）

No matter when you start your planning, it can be helpful to set email alerts for flights to the destination（目的地）of your choice. There are generally recognized days when air fare is the cheapest（Tuesdays or Wednesdays）,【3】. Sometimes the best deal will come through a surprise sale.

【4】

Yes, it is way more convenient to fly direct from your home airport to your destination. But this depending on where you live. Sometimes, purposely including a stopover can actually save you money.

Search Single Seats

It may be cheaper to buy each ticket individually（个人地）for the same flight,【5】. It works because airlines set different prices for different seats on the same plane! When a group of seats are sold together, the airline often charges the highest price among the group for all the seats.

A.Add A Stop.

B.Always Fly Non-stop.

C.even if you are traveling as a group.

D.but you can't necessarily rely on that.

E.you don't want to spend more than you have to on air fare.

F.That might mean you begin researching 4-6 months ahead.

G.That way you'll have plenty of time to get prepared for the trip.

28、   This may sound like a joke about a lazy person's dream job. Earn big money by staying in bed and watching TV. But this is really happening, and it's a project of NASA and two European space agencies the Institute of Aerospace Medicine at the Cologne-based German Aerospace Center and the European Space Agency. It's called Artificial Gravity Bed Rest Study, aimed at studying how the body adapts to weightlessness in space.

Scientists are seeking 12 women to spend two full months in bed in the fall at a German lab, plus an additional month there for preparation and recovery. The first 12 test subjects, all men, already have started the study.

Participants spend two entire months in bed and remain lying down even to do everyday things like eating, drinking and exercising. They also answer nature's call and shower, but it's unclear from the NASA website how those tasks are accomplished in bed.

"Daily routine showering, getting dressed, eating, exercising takes much time when you cannot stand up to do them," says the website, adding that there is "continuous data collection", including blood pressure, heart rate, nutrient absorption and also the participants' feelings. Study subjects will spend the 60 days with their heads tilted(倾斜)down six degrees, which imitates(模仿)conditions in space.

Participants are encouraged to pass the time by watching TV, taking online courses, reading and any other activities they can perform while lying down alone in bed to relieve what could be boredom. Family and friends are allowed to visit.

The high $ 18,500 payment for two months of lazing about is probably a major motivation for people willing to go through something this extreme. However, if you're an American who really needs the money, you probably can't afford it. Candidates need to travel to Cologne four times at their own expense for the employment process between April and July. Plus, they need strong German-speaking skills. Also participants need to be nonsmokers between ages 24 and 55, in good health, with normal body weight.

【1】What are participants expected to do during the study?

A.Report their feelings regularly. B.Complete their daily routines in bed.

C.Keep their bodies tilted down six degrees. D.Record their physical responses every day.

【2】What data about the participants will the researchers collect?

A.The changes in their weight. B.Their behaviors to weightlessness.

C.The ways they do their daily things. D.Their physical and mental reactions

【3】What will be a challenge for the participants?

A.The language skills they need. B.The difficulty meeting family.

C.The possibility that they feel dull. D.The slow discovery of their health.

【4】The requirements for potential participants are   .

A.challenging for Americans B.tailored to thin persons

C.easy for the youth to satisfy D.suitable for most people

29、   More than 100 scientists from 25 countries have traveled to faraway places to collect wild crop seeds(种子) in an effort to help battle climate change.

The scientists, who have been compared to the heroes of the “Indiana Jones” movies, traveled on foot, four-wheeled vehicles(交通工具), boats, horses and even elephants to reach faraway areas. They faced extreme heat,dust, and danger from wild animals. At last, they collected 4, 644 seeds of 371 wild relatives of 28 world crops, many of which are said to be endangered.

The Crop Trust, an organization that works to save different kinds of crops, is directing the project. The group is working in partnership with Britain's Royal Botanic Gardens and Millennium Seed Bank. Additional financial support comes from Norway. The project is believed to be the largest organized international effort yet to collect and protect crops' wild relatives.Hannes Dempewolf is a scientist and the head at the Crop Trust. He said“What these seed collectors went through in the field resembles scenes from an Indiana Jones movie.”

Some crops are threatened because of destruction of forests, climate change and expanded cities. The newly-found wild seeds have developed so plants can grow in extreme temperatures, poor soils, and even in low rainfall areas.

A United Nations report says that food production is at risk because of a shortage of rain and other weather extremes connected to climate change. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization says that the number of plant species is quickly decreasing and people are depending on fewer species for food. Those wild seeds could be important in feeding a growing human population in some areas and offer a largely unused source of diversity(多样性) to crops.

【1】What does the second paragraph show?

A.Collecting seeds is not an easy job.

B.The scientists’ story is made into a movie.

C.The wild seeds are in danger of extinction.

D.The scientists can choose from many vehicles.

【2】What does the underlined word “resembles”in the third paragraph mean?

A.Depends on. B.Looks like.

C.Turns out. D.Refers to.

【3】What is the advantage of the newly-found wild seeds?

A.They can increase green areas. B.They can provide more nutrients

C.They can survive bad conditions. D.They can improve existent crop seeds.

【4】What is the meaning of the scientists collecting wild seeds?

A.Bringing more plant species to the world.

B.Helping farmers improve their farming skills.

C.Knowing about the worlds farming practices.

D.Helping battle climate change.
