26、If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for several hours each day. But you may not have these chances to practice English. You may even be self-taught.【1】It is not very difficult, but it does take effort and practice.

Think in single words.

【2】In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings. As you continue with this, it becomes more of a habit, so things are going to pop up into your head – computer, telephone, chair, and desk. Whatever it is, wherever you are. You can also do this at home when you wake up and before you go to sleep.

【3】

Another exercise is describing in your mind objects you don't know the words for. An example would be if you couldn't think of the word “garage,” Hinshaw says. “If you're looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can't think of the name in English. You can say, 'The place inside where I put my car.”

Think in sentences.

The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “It's such a beautiful day” and “People are playing sports with their friends.”【4】

Describe your day.

Another exercise experts suggest is to describe your daily activities. You can mentally make plans in the morning when you wake up. 【5】So the skill level is a little higher.

A．Describe unknown words.

B．Guess the meaning of a new word.

C．This would require future verb tenses.

D．A good first step is to think in individual words.

E．Hinshaw says doing this can help learners of any language.

F．Once this becomes easy, you can move on to more difficult sentences.

G．The good news is that thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency!

27、Beverly Cleary, the celebrated children’s author whose memories of her Oregon childhood were shared with millions through the likes of Ramona and Beezus Quimby and Henry Huggins, has died. She was 104.

Trained as a librarian, Cleary didn’t start writing books until her early 30s, when she wrote Henry Huggins, published in 1950. Children worldwide came to love the adventures of Huggins and his neigh-bours Ellen Tebbits, Otis Spofford, Beezus Quimby and her younger sister, Ramona. They live in a real street in Portland, Oregon, the city where Cleary spent much of her youth.

Ramona, perhaps her best-known character, first appeared in Henry Huggins with only a brief mention. “All the children appeared to be only children, so I threw in a little sister and she didn’t go away. She kept appearing in other books, ” Cleary said.

Cleary herself was an only child and said the character wasn’t a mirror. “I was a well-behaved little girl, not that I wanted to be, ” she said. “At the age of Ramona, in those days, children played outside. We played hopscotch(跳房子)and jump rope and I loved them and always had wounded knees. ”

Cleary stopped writing recently, because she said she felt it was important for writers to know when to quit. “I even got rid of my typewriter. It was a nice one but I hate to type. When I started writing I found that I was thinking more about my typing than what I was going to say, ” she said in 2016. Although she put away her pen, Cleary re-released three of her most treasured books with three famous fans writing fore- words for the new editions.

Cleary’s books have been translated into more than a dozen languages and inspired many programmes, such as a 10-part PBS series, Ramona and the 2010 film Ramona and Beezus. Cleary was asked once what her favourite character was. “Does your mother have a favourite child? ” she responded.

【1】What do we know about Cleary?

A．She was a late starter as an author.

B．She wrote true stories in her books.

C．She published her first book in the 1930s.

D．She drew writing inspiration from her neighbours.

【2】What can be learned about Ramona in Cleary’s books?

A．She was a well-behaved little girl.

B．She was an only child of her family.

C．She had an impressive first appearance.

D．She played an increasingly bigger role.

【3】Which of the following best describes Cleary as a child?

A．Strange.

B．Active.

C．Lonely.

D．Quiet.

【4】What did Cleary do after quitting writing?

A．She translated her books into other languages.

B．She learned to type quickly and correctly.

C．She added her fans’ words to her books.

D．She made TV programmes based on her books.

28、   Londoners are great readers. They buy large numbers of newspapers, magazines and books-especially paperbacks, which are still cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper.

There are many streets in London containing bookshops. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the famous one which is said to be “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops stock or will make efforts to get any kind of books, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on economics, politics or any other subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet.

Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For really cheap second-hand books, collectors must go to Farringdon Road, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and put lots of books onto small hand-carts (手推车) which line the streets. The collectors, some professionals and some amateurs (业余爱好者), who have been waiting for them, run quickly towards the books. In places like this one can still, sometimes, pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds.

【1】“Londoners are great readers” means that _________.

A.Londoners are great because they read many books B.Only great readers live in London

C.Londoners are readers who read only great books D.Londoners read a lot

【2】According to this passage, Charing Cross Road ________.

A.is in the suburbs of London B.is famous for its bookshops

C.contains only big shops D.is the cheapest place for Londoners to buy books

【3】What do you know about Farringdon Road?

A.It is the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books.

B.Cheap second-hand books can be found there.

C.It is in the West Central district of London.

D.Few people like to buy books there.

【4】The best topic for this passage is “__________”.

A.bookshops in London B.the biggest bookshop in the world

C.Charing Cross Road D.Londoners are great readers

29、   A breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us — the ability to sense oxygen through our skin.

Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo.

Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals (哺乳动物) have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice.

“No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher.

Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules (分子) in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans.

“We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too,” Johnson said.

These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygen—a dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-1a genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone (荷尔蒙) even after hours of such low oxygen.

These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia (贫血症) without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion-dollar market, Johnson said.

Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “It’s hard to say what exactly might be done, however—there’s a lot we don’t know yet,” Johnson explained.

The scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell.

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Johnson believes that Oxygen sensors also exist in human skin.

B.People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.

C.It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases.

D.It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mice’s skin.

【2】One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above is _______.

A.carrying oxygen around the body B.improving athletes’ performance

C.detecting oxygen D.increasing level of oxygen

【3】What is Johnson’s attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes’ training?

A.Negative B.Doubting

C.Positive D.Hesitating

【4】The best title of the passage may be _______.

A.Great Findings Benefits Athletes A Lot

B.Frogs And Mice Are Distant Relatives

C.First Known Animal Breathes Through Skin

D.Humans Might Sense Oxygen Through Skin
