26、Finding spare change or an extra dollar in your pocket always feels like a victory. 【1】 Without thinking, you might hear the familiar rhyme in your head when you spot one on the sidewalk: "Find a penny, pick it up. All day long you'll have good luck. "

According to one theory, people originally thought pennies would bring good luck because of religious beliefs. 【2】 This theory also fueled other superstitions（迷信行为）like charm bracelets and metal horseshoes, which are also "lucky". Plus, metal currency like pennies were linked to more wealth and thus more luck. That might be a straightforward explanation, but other eleven strange origins of other everyday superstition sure aren't.

Another reason people might have claimed pennies would bring good luck comes down to the battle between good and evil, which is like two sides of the coin. Finding a penny heads up meant you'd have luck on your side, but tails up would mean the opposite, 【3】. Some people say that if you find a penny tails up, you should turn it over to make it heads up so that it can bring luck to whoever finds it next. 【4】. The Irish half-penny, which stopped circulating in 1987, is especially lucky to anyone who finds one. Then there's also the old saying "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a penny in the shoe." 【5】

A．Pennies From Heaven is a way of thinking

B．although the exact reasoning for this is unknown

C．No matter what the reason is, pennies are part of many lucky traditions

D．But even finding something worth as little as a penny is satisfying

E．These are all things brides should wear on their wedding day for good luck in their marriage

F．Placing silver sixpence（六便士银币）in the bride's left shoe is said to be a symbol of wealth

G．Folk tales from ancient civilizations said metals were gifts from gods intended to protect people from evil

28、Birds fly more efficiently by folding their wings during the upstroke (上行运动), according to a recent study led by Lund University in Sweden. The results could mean that wing-folding is the next step in increasing the advancing efficiency of flapping drones (无人机).

Even previous to birds, extinct bird-like dinosaurs benefited from folding their wings as they developed active flight. Among flying animals alive today, birds are the most efficient. This makes them particularly interesting as inspiration for the development of drones. However, determining which flapping strategy is the best requires aerodynamic studies of various ways of flapping the wings. Therefore, a Swedish research team has constructed a robotic wing that can achieve just that — flapping like a bird, and beyond.

“We have built a robotic wing that flap more like a bird than previous robots. By measuring the performance of the wing in our wind tunnel, we have studied how different ways of achieving the wing upstroke affect force and energy in flight,” says Christoffer. He adds that “The new robotic wing can be used to answer questions about bird flight that would be impossible simply by observing flying birds. Research into the flight ability of living birds is limited to the flapping movement that the bird actually uses.” The research explains why birds flap the way they do, by finding out which movement patterns create the most force and are the most efficient.

Based on the result, there are many potential uses for drones where these insights can be put to good use. “Flapping drones could be used in many fields, like delivering goods, but they would need to be efficient enough and able to lift the extra weight this involves. How the wings move is of great importance for performance, so this is where our research could come in handy,” concludes Christoffer.

【1】How does the author introduce the topic?

A．By raising an opinion.

B．By giving an example.

C．By stating a study result.

D．By introducing an invention.

【2】Why did the team construct a robotic wing?

A．To collect the flying data of birds.

B．To decide the best way of flapping.

C．To prove the advantages of drones.

D．To find out the most efficient flying animals.

【3】What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?

A．The research has some limitations.

B．The research focused on birds flapping.

C．The robotic wing improves birds’ flight.

D．The robotic wing performs better than birds.

【4】What may Christoffer agree?

A．The drone has been widely used.

B．The research needs more support.

C．Flapping wings are of great importance.

D．The research may have many applications.

29、As a child, Marta was surprisingly creative, painting pictures before she received any formal training. At age 8, she informed me she planned to become a film-maker and stuck to that until, at 17, she and I decided that instead of taking a course in film, she should be apprenticed to a brilliant sound editor, Bruce Nyznik, and his talented associates such as Peter Tilley, with whom I was then working.

Marta's love of trains led to the creation of her first film, Train of Thought, in 1991.After that transition from sound to film, she continued to direct and produce, as well as edit. Her works include Shattered Dreams, a 2006 documentary about a disadvantaged youth in Toronto; The Saviour of Ceylon, a film about the heroism of RCAF officer Leonard Birchall; and the seven - part television series Being 80with Jean Vanier.

Marta was diagnosed with cancer nine years before her death. She saw her cancer as something to be grateful for because it made her concentrate her attention on lasting spiritual realities, rather than the temporary passions that define most of our lives and most of the time.

Marta had worked as an editor and director on more than 30 films with Jean Vanier , the founder of L' Arche, an international organization that assists the developmentally handicapped. So she came to her great trial with some hope that her physical pain could promote spiritual growth. She had had little contact with formal religious practice, so what changed her was having to find the meaning of the cancer that threatened her life.

In her final year or so, she began to write about her experience with cancer and the enlightenment that came with it. She meant to give purpose to her life by helping others. Above all, she wanted her friends and family to share the help she was able to give.

In a conversation shortly before Marta's death, I expressed some discouragement in my life, and she advised me to concentrate on something for which I was grateful.

【1】What did Marta do in order to achieve her goal?

A．She decided to pay a visit to Bruce Nyznik.

B．She planned to take a related course.

C．She wanted to learn from a famous sound editor.

D．She hoped to make friends with Peter Tilley.

【2】After Marta was diagnosed with cancer ________.

A．she had to turn her attention to her condition

B．she produced over 30 films with Jean Vanier

C．she realized what defined most of her life

D．she took a positive attitude toward life

【3】Marta wrote about her experience with cancer ________.

A．to share it with other cancer victims

B．to remind her family of her serious illness

C．to provide help for others

D．to provide information for cancer research

【4】What do you think of Marta in the passage?

A．Hard-working

B．Inspiring.

C．Humorous.

D．Stubborn.

Brett spoke _______ to his parents and then spoke to me, “You did so much. You were always there, no matter what. My mom and dad, I was their kid. But you, ________ troubled enough by me, always ________ me such love. And I want you to know I love you for it.”
