26、Nearly one in four Americans made money over the last 12 months by using their personal computers or other devices connected to the Internet. The Pew Research Center, an independent research group in Washington, found that people are using the Internet to find extra work. They go online to sell things such as used books and furniture or they offer to provide services such as babysitting, house cleaning or computer repairs.

Pew found that income earned on the Internet can come in many forms. Some said they had jobs that paid a few pennies each to take surveys. In these surveys, people are asked for their opinions of different products or well-known people. About two percent of Americans earned money from ride-sharing companies such as Uber and Lyft. When drivers are ready to pick up passengers, they use their ride-share company’s app. The computer program lets them know when passengers are ready to be picked up and how to reach them. Some people make their homes, apartments, or rooms inside their homes, available for money to people visiting their cities.

About 60 percent of people say the income they earn is important to them. But just one in five people who sell things online say the income is enough to be important to their lives. Only 16 percent believe doing online work will lead to a meaningful career. But 37 percent say the extra income earned from online jobs helps them make up for shortages in money.

The number one reason people gave for taking online jobs was that the work gave them something to do and was fun. What kind of people work online or use online devices to find work?The answer appears to be: mostly people who already have jobs.

【1】What is the main idea of paragraph 1?

A．How to sell used books.

B．How to find extra work online.

C．A new way of making money.

D．A new research on the Internet.

【2】How many forms of earning money online are mentioned in paragraph 2?

A．1.

B．2.

C．3.

D．4.

【3】How does the author make the point more persuasive?

A．By listing numbers.

B．By asking questions.

C．By telling stories.

D．By doing surveys.

【4】What is implied in the last paragraph?

A．Many people have found jobs using the Internet.

B．Those who have jobs enjoy making money online.

C．The future of the Internet is questioned.

D．More people will lose their job soon.

28、I remember her words,almost as if they were spoken yesterday.

Mrs.Mabel Price,our high school teacher in that little town of Westminster,in Western Maryland,said,

“You belong in college,and I’m going to do everything I can to get you there.” For me,college was something out of the question,something on a far distant planet,something only， those people who had special rights did.I said,”I can’t go to college because I don’t have the money. There’s no way I could afford it.I’m going to join the army.”

Even though I was graduating at the top of my class in that small town,and enjoyed the experience of learning and thinking,I was used to a long tradition of experience in my family.We were people of limited means,and three of my four older brothers had gone off to join the army.

“Being an army man is a perfectly respectable way of life,”she said,”but you have a gift that can make a difference in the world.I want you to continue your education.I think I can get you into Johns Hopkins University.And I’m working on the money.”Finally,I was off to college.

One day I was walking from the parking lot to my first class,talking with my friend and classmate,and we passed by a group of men who were digging a deep ditch(沟渠)。Suddenly,I knew why I was in college. She was right-I had been given a gift that could take me to wonderful places.I decided then and there that I preferred to make my living with my brain rather than my back.I had been given a choice they didn’t have:an education.

Some years ago,as I reflected on the experience for many times,it occurred to me:”Maybe I could locate Mrs.Price.Maybe she’s still living in Westminster.I could go back there and visit her,bring her a gift,and really let her know how much I’m thankful for what she had done for me.”

So,I began to search online for information about where she might be.I soon discovered an article about her death,published in the Baltimore Sun and dated October 8,2001.

I suppose the lesson for me in this story-or one of the lessons-is this:If you love someone;if you thank them;if you’re grateful to them-tell them now.One day it will be too late.

Well...anyway...Mrs.Price,wherever you are-thank you.

A.He had no right to go to college. B.He couldn’t afford to go to college.

29、   Today companies have branches around the world. More than 11% of the US managers and workers work online either full-time or part-time, and that number is continuing growing. It is believed that it is a waste of time and money to fly around the world for face-to-face meeting. An effective solution to this problem is to use Web meetings.

A large group of presentations, training classes and meetings are done online without losing the  face-to-face  experience.  Web  meetings  are  online  meetings  where  an  organizer  invites attendees(参会人员) to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters. Besides, Web meetings can be recorded for later use or downloaded for playback.

Presenters can take surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting. Some Web meeting software programs can watch the users’ desktop behavior to see if they become not focused on the presentation and begin working on other documents. If so, the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention, which will help the presenters know which parts of the meeting need improving.

Web meetings can work well because they’re connected by a server(服务器). Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers. They can either buy a special Web meeting server to hold their meetings at high speed, or they can pay for a Web meeting service center every time to let it help connect every attendee, whose speed is always worrying. The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings and the average number of people attending the meetings.

Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business. With all the technologies today, the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.

【1】What is the advantage of Web meetings?

A.They leave more people unemployed.

B.They save people much time and money.

C.They cause more traffic accidents every day.

D.They make people spend more time on computer.

【2】Attendees can re-watch the meetings by .

A.Turning to the meeting presenter B.Asking help from other attendees

C.Expecting next meeting D.Downloading the meeting

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Web meetings lose the face-to-face experience.

B.Some Web meeting programs help improve the meetings’ quality.

C.Web meetings improve the meetings’ atmosphere.

D.Companies must buy a special server to hold Web meetings.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards Web meeting?

A.Concerned. B.Uninterested. C.Negative. D.Positive.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are 【1】. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out other people’s 【2】 and on many occasions, to be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.

Is there really much truth behind this science of 【3】 human emotions through expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) 【4】 psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific advisor and the following are some of his explanations.

Hand-to-face gesture indicates a lie.

Each micro-expression is unique to 【5】 specific emotions because the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.

A liar refuses eye contact.

People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are 【6】 an excuse. Oblique eyebrows are a very reliable 【7】of sadness and few people can make this 【8】 expression, so it is actually never faked.

Guilty knowledge technique is 【9】.

Lightman often uses the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n)【10】. This is often used in polygraph exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual weapon is mentioned.

32、阅读以下文章，并撰写文章的概要。

The famous classical pianist, Kong Xiangdong, surprised his fans last week by giving a concert combining classical music with Chinese folk music. Kong explained that he tried this because he wanted to create something new." As a musician, playing the same music in different cities of the world is very boring, "says Kong. He also feels that playing Chinese folk music on the piano can help bring it to the rest of the world.

Music has always been part of Kong's world. As his mother was a great music lover, he lived with music from birth. But it wasn't always easy for the young Kong Xiangdong. His mother couldn't buy him a piano until he was seven. She had to draw piano keys on a piece of paper so that he could learn to play as early as possible. The 5-year-old Kong would practice on the paper piano as his mother clapped the rhythm. He was made to practice the piano so much that, at times, he thought about giving up. However, he didn't quit, and he became a great pianist. In 1986,at the age of 18,he became the youngest prize winner in Moscow's Tchaikovsky International Competition. He went on to win awards in competitions across the world.

Because of Kong's talent and hard work, he became famous worldwide. But after years of performing, he felt that in some ways he had lost his identity. This is why he went back to his roots and rediscovered the beauty in Chinese folk music. He began experimenting with different styles and his Dream Tour Concert is the result.

Kong's new experiment in Chinese folk music is so important to him that he even changed his appearance. When he arrived at his concert last week, he had shaved off all his hair! Since his music style was new, he decided his hairstyle had to be new too!

Whether Kong is changing his appearance or transforming his music, he is a pioneer in music today. The concert last week was such a success that Kong's Dream Tour Concert is expected to run for the next two years in Beijing, Shanghai, and other main cities before going to Paris and New York.
