26、A pair of best friends from Texas are proving that adventure doesn’t have an age limit — even when you’re 81.

Ellie Hamby, a photographer, and Sandy Hazelip, a physician, toured the world in 80 days, adventuring from the beaches of Bali to the deserts of Egypt.

Their first stop was Antarctica. “The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable,” Hamby recalled. Since then, the pair have visited 18 countries across all seven continents.

And despite the challenges international travel presents, the best friends say they finished their trip without any arguments.

“We’re both independent, very stubborn. But we seem to allow each other to give space,” said Hamby. “We just understand each other and we know this is a good thing we’re doing and we kind of respect each other’s feelings.”

For Hamby, the most interesting aspect of the trip was the people they met along the way.

“We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the most wonderful, kindest, friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world that we love dearly.”

And they shared an important piece of advice for any travelers worried about the language barrier on their own adventures.

“You know, people ask us often about the language, how we manage it,” said Hamby. “We say with Sandy and Ellie, there’s one language and that’s a smile. And we found that worked wonders because we were often aware that there was not English spoken. But a smile covers all languages.”

【1】Why did they finish the trip without arguments?

A．They had different personalities.

B．They prepared presents for each other.

C．They understand and respect each other.

D．They allowed each other to voice their ideas.

【2】What part of the trip impressed Hamby most?

D．Limitless Adventure: Two Friends Break Age Barriers

27、Coffee drink is widespread. When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, they’re usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it good for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.

Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the shade of taller trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren’t any trees. With increased production come increased profits.

Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases the local wildlife habitat, because native birds nest and hide from predators（捕食者）in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.

Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides（杀虫剂）are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, and then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.

Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as "shade-grown" and "bird-friendly".

Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we're paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it’s worth it.

【1】Which opinion does the author agree with?

A. People should buy full-sun coffee.

B. Shade-grown coffee should be supported.

C. Farmers should change the places to grow coffee.

D. Pesticides should be forbidden in coffee planting.

【2】Compared with the traditional method, what advantage does the full-sun method have?

A. It can protect the ecosystem.

B. It can promote people's health.

C. It can provide mare nests for birds.

D. It can increase the production of coffee.

【3】How do farmers get more land to grow full-sun coffee?

A. They cut down trees.

B. They move to other countries.

C. They turn grassland into farmland.

D. They buy more land from other farmers.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. It is quite worthwhile to buy shade-grown coffee at any cost.

B. Farmers all have realized the importance of protecting the environment now.

C. South American farmers are taking action to plant coffee in the traditional way.

D. The full-sun method does good to the health of human beings in the long run.

28、   There is an English saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people’s health.

Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.

Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment, doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which decrease both stress and pain.

As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

【1】We learn from the first paragraph that laughter______.

A.is good for one’s health B.is related to some illness

C.has been investigated D.has no effect on the body

【2】Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter according to the passage?

A.It reduces pain. B.It exercises the body.

C.It reduces stress. D.It can cure cancer.

【3】In a laughter clinic, doctors______.

A.laugh at their patients B.encourage their patients to laugh

C.smile when they don’t feel like laughing D.never stop laughing

【4】What is the writer’s attitude towards laughter?

A.Critical. B.Doubtful. C.Positive. D.Negative.

29、While many Thais understand the common greeting ways used around the world, they feel proud of their special way of greeting — wai. Therefore, being skilled in such non-verbal communication can help you win deeper respect and acceptance among the Thais with whom you interact.

“Wai” sounds like the word “why” and is usually paired with the word “hello” in Thai, thereby making it a way of greeting and saying hello; Thais also wai one another when thanking someone, apologizing to someone, saying goodbye or showing respect.

Largely speaking, the way you wai indicates the degree of respect. To make a wai, you should first put palms (手心) together, and bring your hands to touch the middle of your chest and slightly lower your head so that your index fingers (食指) touch your nose. You can use this wai for friends and people of the same ages. The second, and a bit more formal, way to wai is to bring your thumbs to the tip of your nose and your index fingers to your forehead. And lastly, for royalty (皇室) and monks, lower your head until your thumbs are in-between your eyebrows. In this case, men should bow while women should bend their knees.

As a foreigner, you are not supposed to give a wai to everyone you see, but you are often expected to return the greeting. Thais won’t feel disrespected if you make mistakes during the exchange of wais, but will appreciate the effort you take to respect local customs. The safest bet is to wai back who wais you; however, do not wai anyone who is clearly younger than you. Instead, give him a nod and smile.

【1】What can we know from the first paragraph?

A．Thais know little about some common ways to greet.

B．You can win an award when you give a wai to a Thai.

C．It can be beneficial if you can wai properly in Thailand.

D．Thais think highly of their ways of verbal communication.

【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The types of wais.

B．The occasions to use a wai.

C．The benefits of a wai.

D．The people to use a wai to.

【3】Which of the following is the wai you use to greet a friend?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【4】How is a foreigner supposed to wai in Thailand?

A．To give a wai to a child.

B．To give a wai to whoever he meets.

C．To nod his head and smile at the same time.

D．To return a wai to someone not younger than him.

31、短文填空

American High School Life

On August 26, 2016, I was a 【1】 to begin my freshman year in an American high school. G 【2】 up in Beijing, I needed to deal with and overcome several difficulties. Fortunately, there are detailed instructions for students to follow step by step, from enrollment (登记注册) to the academic program.

Each semester, the school holds an orientation (培训) for transfer students. We thought that would be the p 【3】 time for us to learn more about the school. The a 【4】 we take part in included getting to know your campus, finding your classrooms and learning how to read the bulletin board. The biggest difference is that the students change classrooms for each subject. From Monday to Friday, the schedule also changes. Every student has different classes from the o 【5】 depending on their electives. Do you think that’s c 【6】? I had thought it might be difficult, but actually I had no problem after the first week. Each day, students a 【7】  seven classes. They have five minutes to get from one class to another. Because the hallways are so packed, they often push one another o 【8】 of their way to make it in time.

At first I k 【9】 avoiding attention, but I realized that I’d been anxious for no reason. High school was anything b 【10】 a horrible place. Now I am finding my way despite the language barrier and looking forward to a great school year.
