26、   I was in a strange city I didn’t know at all, and what's more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person. I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.

About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.

27、I live in London now. In 2015, I decided to take a break and do some traveling. During my travel, I saw a lot of plastic waste in the ocean, and started wondering what I could do about it. I reused my bamboo bike, which I’d made at the Bamboo Bicycle Club in Hackney, to float on the Thames and collect plastic on the river.

On September 18, I started my journey at the source of the Thames in Lechlade. Every day was different and the first was the worst. It was raining hard and when I tried to put the bamboo bike in the water, the weight of it turned the whole thing over. I thought: This is it — the project is over! But after a good hour I managed to get it out.

I had two fishing nets that I filled up every day with plastic, and I couldn’t even collect everything because some bits were hidden under a forest of seagrass. I also took pictures and geotagged them, to map which parts of the river were the most polluted. Oxford was particularly bad, with a lot of takeaway boxes, bottles, DVDs and even some chicken breasts still in the plastic bags.

My journey taught me the hard way that cleaning up the river is not going to solve the problem. We need to target the root cause: the buying of plastic. I’m thinking of running some activities in London and trying to make them spread quickly, like filling up a London bus with plastic bottles to represent how much plastic waste is produced every minute in London.

I want to show people how plastic is affecting us: how some of it even comes back into our bodies via microplastics(塑料微粒) in fish or salt. I know you can’t totally cut out the use of plastic, just like that, but I’d like people to think twice before buying their next bottle of water. Every step helps.

【1】Why does the author make use of the bamboo bike again?

A．It’s comfortable to ride.

B．It can float on the water.

C．It can be used for exercise.

D．It won’t pollute the river.

【2】How did the author feel when the bamboo bike turned over?

A．The project failed.

B．The bike was gone.

C．Everything would turn better.

D．All the work was finished.

【3】Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “geotagged” in paragraph 3?

A．Revised.

B．Cleared.

C．Marked.

D．Collected.

【4】What does the author think is more important to do with plastic pollution?

A．Closing plastic factories.

B．Reusing plastic items.

C．Collecting plastic waste.

D．Buying fewer plastic products.

28、   You might think that if you’ve been born with working ears, listening shouldn’t be all that hard. But up to one in four leaders struggles with listening skills, and it’s common to be a bad listener in day-to-day life.

【1】 One answer is that many of us listen to respond rather than to hear what’s being said. When we’re chatting with someone, we’re constantly thinking of what we’re going to say next instead of actually processing what the other party is saying. The moment they’re done speaking, we leap in with a comment or question.

We do it because we want to be good conversationalists and avoid uncomfortable pauses (停顿) in the discussion. But often the result is the other person feels unheard. 【2】

“Before you respond in a conversation, take a breath. Not an enormous, loud, obvious breath that screams out ‘I am trying a new technique for better listening!’ No, just a normal, simple, ordinary breath. That’s it.”

【3】  Yes, insists Miller. He’s noticed positive effects in everyday conversations. “I find I interrupt people a lot less often,” he reports. “In response, people seem more relaxed when we are talking.”

He’s not the only one to spot a difference. On New York Magazine’s blog, The Cut, Katie Heany describes a sort of natural experiment that shows the power of simply taking a breath before you respond. “A friend of a friend who currently lives in France often pauses a lot before she replies, mainly because her French is only somewhat fluent. 【4】 This is not something she hears much in English,” she writes.

You don’t have to be barely fluent in a language to achieve “great listener” status. All you need is this simple technique. 【5】

A.The solution, according to psychologist Kenneth E. Miller, is incredibly simple.

B.There are many ways to improve your listening skills.

C.Could something so small make a difference?

D.Why do we struggle with listening?

E.People can use the pause to dig deeper into their thoughts.

F.Go ahead, give it a try and see if it works for you.

G.As a result, all her French friends tell her she’s an amazing listener.

29、How to Learn American Sign Language

American Sign Language (ASL) is one of the most beautiful but misunderstood languages in the world. 【1】 Other sign languages are used across the world, including Malaysia, Germany, Austria, Norway, and Finland. This article will give you some tips on learning this wonderful form of communication.

【2】 Dictionaries are key tools for learning any language, and ASL is no exception. A good dictionary will allow you to look up signs you don’t understand, as well as give you something to study.

Buy a few study guides. A dictionary will show you how to sign every word or phrase. However, a study guide will help you sign（打手语）in a more practical fashion and provide more information than a dictionary. 【3】

【4】 You can find many people to practice signing in class, as well as feedback（反馈）on your performance. Many colleges will allow you to take a class without enrolling（注册）. Check with your local school to see what programs they might offer. Besides, community programs such as local libraries and language corners will often offer ASL classes for those who are interested.

Look for resources online. The Internet can provide a lot of information about signing. There are many sites that contain videos that can help you learn ASL. 【5】 Handspeak is another good video resource and online dictionary.

A.Take a class from a deaf teacher.

B.Buy a good sign language dictionary.

C.ASL is widely used all over the world.

D.It will help you learn basic conversations.

E.The ASLU is a great resource for new learners.

F.ASL is often used in the United States and Canada.

G.Look for apps that have a great number of 4 or 5 star reviews.
