25、Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：

Do you have a passport? A passport is a very important personal document when you travel abroad. It is also a great treasure for every holidaymaker because each page provides wonderful memories of each visit. Here are some of the most bizarre and interesting facts about passports from Britain.

Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was once offered a passport with the number 007, the code number for fictional special agent（特工） James Bond. However, she turned it down. The passport with 007 now belongs to Geoffery Howe, a member in Thatcher's government.

Everyone needs a passport to travel around the world, but one person doesn't. Although she may not travel abroad as much as she used to, Queen Elizabeth II has traveled around the world – all without a passport. According to the U.K., it is unnecessary for the queen to have one because British passport is issued（颁发） in the name of Her Majesty. However, it doesn't mean that the entire British royal family doesn't need passports. All the other members, including Prince Philip and Prince Charles, all have passports.

The British passport had a very long history. The oldest passport still in existence in Britain dates back to June 18, 1641. And there is the signature of Charles I on it.

In addition, the British passport is one of the most powerful passports in the world. Anyone with a British passport can travel 174 countries without a visa（签证）. It is as powerful as passports from Finland, Germany, Sweden and the U.S.A. However, U.K. travellers pay some of the highest passport costs in the world – more than people in China and Russia. On average, British people have to pay about 72.5 pounds for the passport.

26、One day I happened to meet an Englishman in the street and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be very surprised, gently shaking his head and saying "You don't say!" I was puzzled, and I thought, "Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about." So I said to him. "Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever been there?"

"Certainly! Everyone at home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful!" "Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit it." As I went on more about it, he stopped me again, "You don't say!"

I couldn't help asking, "Why do you ask me not to talk about it?" "Well, I don't ask you to do so," he answered, greatly surprised. "Didn't you say 'You don't say'?" I asked again. Hearing this, the foreigner laughed loudly. He began to explain, " 'You don't say!' means 'Really?'. Perhaps you know little about English idioms (习语) ."

Wow! How foolish I was ! Since then I began to learn more English idioms.

27、Dear Zi Lin,

I am very sorry to learn that you are unhappy now. But as a friend of yours, I don’t think you should be unhappy.

I know that your family is not rich, so your parents can’t afford to buy you clothes of famous brands, which makes you unhappy. Although we don’t have much money, we can have a good mood every day. Many rich people have too much money, but they often feel bored and lonely. Your parents have sent you to school so that you can receive good education and have a bright future. This is not easy for your parents. So you should thank them. Don’t ask for something that is out of your parents’ reach. Don’t be vain­glorious(虚荣的).

I also think you should put your heart into study. Read more books and you can get a lot from reading. Without the famous brand competition, you will become happy.

So you should decide not to feel so sorry and sad. You should smile and think you are luckier in life.

I hope my advice will be helpful to you. Wish you happiness!

Yours,

Zhang Man

28、Fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给）

What is Technology? Technology is the application (应用) of knowledge to production. With the development of science and technology, we can enjoy the convenience of life. We have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work because of m【1】 technology. For most of us in America, technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets.

However, technology has also increased the amount of food a【2】 to us by means of good farming machinery and animal breeding techniques, and has extended our life span (寿命). So it raises a question. Will human beings continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? The answer depends on technology and our ability to use it w【3】. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The improvement in technology depends upon research and d【4】, and the latest statistics (统计) show that the United States is continuing to spend billions of dollars every year on such e【5】. So while we are running out of some scarce resources, we may find technological substitutes (代用品) for many of them through our research programmes.

Actually, when we need new skills on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. People will work together to design new products to s【6】 some difficult problems. When equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be i【7】 in response to it.

Why is this?” With a smile on his face, the guide answered, “The coral on the ocean side is always being ______ by sea water and storms. It has to fight to live every day. The ______ caused by the sea doesn’t make it weak but strong. However, the coral on the other side is still(静止的) water, with no challenge for its life. It ______ gradually.”

That’s ______ it is with people. Everyone has troubles but most of them may actually be ______ for us. Just like coral hit by the sea, we come alive and ______ with pressure.
