26、   When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.

“Storm chasing (追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.

Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm seasons.

Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”

However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth.”

【1】For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to ____.

A.get quickly into their cars for safety

B.wait patiently for the storm to develop

C.head straight for the center of the storm

D.collect information about a coming storm

【2】Beginners of storm chasing are advised ____.

A.to do it in an organized way B.to spend much more time on it

C.not to get too close to a storm D.not to drive in a heavy rain

【3】By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that ___.

A.storm chasing costs a lot of money B.efforts in storm chasing are well paid

C.storm chasing is worth hours of waiting D.a storm presents the greatest show on Earth

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A.Storm chasing is only fit for young people.

B.Some storm chasers were killed during the storms.

C.Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.

D.Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment.

27、   These days when someone says a computer has a bug in it, usually they mean that there's a problem with one of its programs. Maybe your computer has crashed when you are in the middle of a game, or you get an error message when you try to go to a website.

But back in the early days of computers, a woman named Grace Hopper was part of the tear that discovered the very first computer bug.

Hopper was a mathematician. She'd been hired by the navy to help program the new Mark II computer. The Mark Ⅱ’s job was to quickly solve the math problems ships and airplanes used to find in their way. The MarkⅡ worked by reading instructions from a long strip of paper with holes in it. The computer translated the patterns of holes into the math problems it was supposed to solve.

One afternoon in 1947 Hopper and her team were running a program. But the computer wasn’t giving them the right results. What could be wrong? They finally ended up taking the Mark II apart, looking for problems. What did they find?

It was a dead moth(蛀虫)! The moth was blocking some of the holes on the paper strip—no wonder the computer didn't know what to do.

Hopper knew that the term "bug" had been used before when there were problems with machines. But this was the first time a computer had ever had one. She thought it was funny that it was a real bug. Some people think Hopper was the first person to use the word "debug" to mean “get rid of the problems in a computer”.

Her team kept a logbook of everything they did. They taped the moth onto the page for that day. The logbook, moth and all, is now in the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington D.C.

Grace Hopper worked with computers her whole life. She was the first person to write a word-based computer language. This makes it easier for people to tell computers what to do. Some people called her "Grandma COBOL" after one of the computer languages she helped develop. But to most she was just “Amazing Grace”.

【1】What's the writer's purpose in writing paragraph 1?

A. To tell us the main idea of the passage.

B. To arouse the readers' interest to read on.

C. To show the structure of the passage.

D. To give a description of what a bug is.

【2】Which of the followings is true to describe Grace Hopper?

A. She was the first expert to use the term “bug”.

B. She was an astronomer to help work on the Mark II.

C. She devoted all her life to work related to computers.

D. She kept a record of all the computers on the Mark II.

【3】What is the text mainly about?

A. The history of bug. B. The discovery of the first bug.

C. Grace Hopper and her bug. D. Grace Hopper and the Mark II.

28、Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.

In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st or January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal clothes, and they may drink champagne（香槟）at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.

Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh（重新）.

Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.

Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year's Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the new year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them！

【1】Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A．Several different New Year traditions

B．The Western people celebrate the New Year only by watching the sunrise.

【3】In some cultures, why do people throw things into rivers or oceans?

A．To bring good luck.

C．To avoid bad luck.

D．To plan for the next year.

29、   New arrivals to China often get the impression that Chinese people spend all of their time working. Yet，people in China devote quite a bit of time to leisure（休闲）.

Surprisingly，the Chinese love to relax. They love to spend their time taking care of flowers，raising birds and other pets. Chinese people are also fond of leisurely games，like the Chinese game Mahjong. The Chinese also love to play cards to pass the time. It is a national sport almost as widespread as petanque in France.

The Chinese have many ways to idle（休闲），including gossiping or chitchat，which is seen as a true art. Taking a walk and doing some light reading are also considered as idleness. If a person does all of these things，they are definitely an idler.

Busy people should also have free time. When at work，Chinese people often say that they need to “steal some time” from work.

Taoism（道教）teaches that people should improve moral character through relaxation，and be happy to lead a simple and honest life. This is why Chinese people believe so strongly in enjoying a carefree and relaxed life.

Poet Tao Yuanming set up a way of life that emphasizes a balanced country life. In a sense，his way is both earthy and spiritual. It has given us a way to be relaxed and well，while being balanced and carefree.

In China，having a life that is too full is not a sign of wisdom. It is only when things are empty that they can be filled. Hopefully，this information will remind people to rest a little and make room for free time in a busy life.

【1】What does the underlined word “petanque” most probably refer to?

A. an animal B. a person

C. a sport D. a flower

【2】What is the writer’s impression of Chinese people?

A. They simply work all the time. B. They have many ways to relax.

C. They don’t know how to enjoy life. D. They question a balanced country life.

【3】Which of the following is the best title of the text?

A. Spiritual Happiness B. Impression of China C. Leisure in China D. Wisdom of the Chinese
