26、An obstacle usually refers to a difficulty or problem that prevents you from achieving something. Whether it was in your past, or you’re presently facing an obstacle, you have to resolve it. Some people avoid obstacles or deny their existence. Others let obstacles control them, and they feel defeated. Your attitude towards obstacles will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it. Here are some more great things to love about obstacles.

First, obstacles give you purposes. Sometimes obstacles can reset your goals. You might have always had a particular way of doing things, or wanted to pursue certain goals; but when you’re faced with setbacks or difficulties, you’re forced to re-think, and re-examine your path. You may end up focusing on something new and exciting. Or, you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn’t have if not for the particular setback. By having to overcome an obstacle, you’ll be fulfilling a purpose, rather than just going through the motions. Second, obstacles prepare you for the unexpected. Obstacles serve as guides for where to go next. Even though obstacles can bring out many negative emotions in us, such as frustration, anger, or sadness, it’s important to realize that they don’t stop you from reaching your intended goals. Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Obstacles shift your perspective. 

Obstacles whether you like them or not are unavoidable. Life will never stop throwing you new obstacles. So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and deal with these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you’re able to see obstacles as being an advantage to your life, the better you’ll be at managing them.

Accepting obstacles will be rewarding. It will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself.

【1】What determines the outcome of obstacles you face?

A．Your own attitude.

B．Your quick adaptation.

C．Your adequate preparation.

D．Your optimistic perseverance.

【2】What does the underlined part probably mean?

A．Acting enthusiastically.

B．Acting half-heartedly.

C．Being more motivated.

D．Being more determined.

【3】How would obstacles result in benefits?

A．They prevent your negative emotions.

B．They give you advantages over others.

C．They make you think quickly and critically.

D．They allow you to view things from new angles.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Avoiding obstacles does harm to life.

B．Loving obstacles benefits a lot.

C．Obstacles are actually unavoidable.

D．Obstacles are double-edged swords.

27、   A new study conducted in China, and published by the medical journal Neurology, indicates people who sleep for a large amount of time up their stroke (中风) risks by 85 percent. In addition, those who take regular 90-minute naps (小睡) increase their risks of stroke by 25 percent, compared with brief-30 minute naps or avoiding naps entirely. Disturbed sleep also raised stroke risk by 29 percent, according to the study.

Researcher Dr. Xiaomin Zhang, head of the team, told the Associated Press, “People, especially middle-aged and older adults, should pay more attention to their time spent in bed attempting to sleep and midday napping, and sleep quality, because appropriate duration of sleep and nap and maintaining good sleep quality may complement other behavioral interventions for preventing stroke.” Dr. Zhang cautions that the study only shows an association between long periods of sleep and a stroke, but does not prove that naps and long periods of sleep cause strokes.

Other studies have pointed out a link between excessive (过度的) or poor sleep and obesity (肥胖), which leads to increased stroke risk. Those risks, including high blood pressure, were factored into Dr. Zhang's team's data.

Dr. Zhang's study collected data from 31,750 people living in China with a median age of 62. After six years of self-reported follow-ups and physical examinations, 1,500 of the participants were found to have suffered strokes during that ensuing period of time.

Dr. Zhang noted that the study is limited, since it was conducted mainly on elderly patients. The advice within it may apply only to the elderly.

Dr. Salman Azhar, director of stroke at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City said, “If you sleep so much, you're actually decreasing your activity and a reduction in activity leads to a number of things that increase your risk of obesity.” Activity seems to be the key, according to Azhar. If activity is limited and the amount of sleep increases, the stroke risk will increase.

【1】Which is associated with a relatively lower risk of stroke according to the study?

A．No naps.

B．Disturbed sleep.

C．Obesity.

D．90-minute naps.

【2】What can we learn from paragraph 2?

A．Long periods of sleep cause strokes.

B．Much sleep lowers blood pressure.

C．Short sleeping time prevents strokes.

D．The elderly should avoid long naps.

【3】What's Dr. Salman Azhar's attitude towards much sleep?

A．Supportive

B．Negative.

C．Uncertain.

D．Pleasant.

【4】How does the author develop the text?

A．By listing examples.

B．By answering questions.

C．By explaining factors.

D．By analyzing studies.

28、Dressed in a flowing long robe with beaded floral embroidery(珠串刺绣) from the past era, stylist Xiao Hang looks like coming from a time machine, attracting a lot of curious glances and questions.

China has made Western fashion and technology fall together with its high-speed development in recent years. At the same time, the government has also increased the publicity and learning of traditional Chinese culture from the aspects of education, culture, entertainment and so on, which seems to make period dramas and traditional "hanfu" or "Han clothing" become hot overnight. The Story of Minglan, a TV series set in the Song Dynasty,got more than 400 million viewers in three days when it was released(发行). A growing number of young people like Xiao are looking to the past for their clothing choices and wearing hanfu. These historic costumes of the Han ethnic majority are enjoying a renaissance(复兴)

There is no clear uniform standard of hanfu because each Han-dominated dynasty had its own style, but the outfits are characterized by loose, flowing robes with sleeves that hang down to the knees. In modem China, the hanfu community spread to the different walks of life, from elderly history lovers to young professionals, and even to students.

Jiang Xue, who is from Beijing-based hanfu club Mowutianxia, said, " If we as a people and as country do not even understand our traditional clothing or don't wear them, how can we talk about other basic parts of our culture? "

Yang Jiaming, a high school student in Beijing, wears his outfit under his school uniform. "Two-thirds of my wardrobe is hanfu, " he said, dressed in a Tang-style gown and black boots, adding that his classmates and teachers have been backing up him. They are in agreement with his idea that clothes are the foundation of culture.

There is some way before hanfu can be accepted by most of the people in China. Some say sometimes they will lose heart by the strange looks when wearing hanfu in public.

【1】Why did the author describe Xiao Hang's long robe at the beginning?

A．To attract the readers' attention to the ancient clothes

B．To introduce the special design of hanfu

C．To show the dressing style of Xiao Hang.

D．To give the features of a time machine

【2】What mainly makes hanfu popular?

A．Western fashion and technology

B．People's interest in period dramas

C．Old people's preference for fine clothes

D．The government s encouragement of traditional culture

【3】What can be learned about hanfu from Paragraphs 3 and 4?

A．Hanfu clubs aim at taking hanfu-style photos.

B．Many people know the clear standard of hanfu.

C．People from hanfu community wear hanfu every day.

D．Hanfu can help understand traditional Chinese culture.

【4】What does the underlined phrase"backing up"in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．Ignoring

B．Supporting

C．Discouraging.

D．Bearing.

29、Of the several films Hirokazu has made about childhood and children, this one is the most modest, but no less pleasing for its delicate style and small setting. I Wish was originally called Miracle, and the change is for the better. The two-word title makes you want to know who’s wishing for what, while the single word sounds plain and self-praising. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.

The sweetly reflective hero, a sixth-grader named Koichi, starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt. Not just any volcano, but the one that towers above his town, smoking heavily and giving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing, which would lead, at least in his mind, to a reunion with his father and kid brother, who’ve been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retired grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano, knowing nothing of this, refuses to erupt, but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.

One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave — how Koichi attacks his dinner, for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But children’s thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of baseball stars, who eats curry for breakfast; so he, too, starts eating curry for breakfast, instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries to wish his dead dog, Marble, back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for? I wish you’d see this delightful film to find out.

【1】Why has the name of the film been changed from Miracle to I Wish?

A. The former is controversial and self-praising.

B. The former isn’t related to the content of the film.

C. The latter is easy for audience to remember.

D. The latter is easier to arouse audience’s interest.

【2】Koichi wishes the volcano to erupt so that he can ________.

A. enjoy the wonderful scene of a volcano

B. help those who suffer from the eruption

C. get together with his family members

D. work miracles during the disaster

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

A. I Wish is a film set in a volcano eruption.

B. I Wish shows a lively and thoughtful world of children.

C. I Wish shows audience some dull and ridiculous behaviors.

D. I Wish is a serious science fiction movie.

【4】What does the writer intend to do in this text?

A. To share pleasures of watching a film.

B. To make a review on a film.

C. To discuss kids’ behavior and thoughts.

D. To recommend a film.

31、语法填空。

Living in a foreign country is fun but it isn’t always easy. There are many differences between cultures although some of these differences are unimportant. Some can 【1】 a lot of embarrassment. In 【2】 to the obvious language problems of living in a 【3】country, I certainly experienced culture shock when I was living in Paris. I know I’m not the 【4】 one, so I spoke to a few foreign friends about how they experienced culture shock in China.

Aubin arrived two months ago from Europe to take part in a 【5】 programme in Shanghai. Before he left, he was actually 【6】 the differences between European and Chinese cultures, 【7】everything from table manners to classroom behaviour. However, some things have still taken him by   【8】. For example, he couldn’t understand why waiters did not want to accept the 【9】he gave them after meals in restaurants.

【10】friend, Julia, came to Guangzhou from London to teach at a language school. After a month, she told me that she was really let down by her 【11】. I asked her why and she told me that they were so 【12】 , that she was the only person talking in class and it felt like the children were 【13】 her by making her talk to the walls!

And it is not only the West and the East that have cultural differences. Even Korea and China two countries that are very 【14】 to each other have differences too. “I thought Chinese and Korean people were the same,” said my friend Ji-Hyun in perfect 【15】, “but I was wrong. In ancient times the Chinese 【16】 to take their shoes off. They don’t do that anymore, but Korean people still do!”

Luckily, 【17】 we take our shoes off or not, or leave unnecessary tips, the world still runs perfectly. In my opinion, cultural differences should simply be seen 【18】 a way of making life interesting. Imagine how boring it would be if we all did everything exactly the 【19】 way! Learning to understand and respect differences is, after all, 【20】 life is all about.
