26、   I arrived in this beautiful Spanish island at the start of September, full of enthusiasm and eager to start work as an English teacher. I sorted all the necessary paperwork out and moved into a flat of my own within the first couple of days. Great! Or so I thought. At 4 am and at several intervals after that, I was rudely awoken by the cock that lives opposite me. Fantastic! I now have five extra alarms every morning.

In the following weeks, I also started to notice a trend. Things in my flat started to break at the rate of one object per day, like the hot water, bowls, cups, shower, doors or glass shelves. Yes, I was clumsy but things just fell apart. If it wasn’t broken, it would either be dirty or missing. Using my washing basket for the first time was pretty disgusting. When I took out my clothes, they were swiftly followed by a hundred or so insects that were living in the bottom.

As for the general lack of equipment in the house, there was no oven, tin opener, sharp knives or potato peeler. It turned out making a burger wasn’t the best idea. I had a small microwave and a grill. I thought the general understanding was never to put metal in a microwave but I went with it. Smoke soon started to appear. I was not quite sure if it was the burger or the grill but as soon as I opened the door, the electricity cut out. I spent the following 10 minutes in a dark, smoky room hunting for the power switch using the light from my mobile phone, which broke the week after and left me without a connection to the outer world.

Luckily, I’m now borrowing a phone and my luck has returned. No more things have broken (probably because there is nothing left to break). I’ve also realized that even if a flat looks pretty, it doesn’t mean its contents work. I am also learning how to adapt to life with limited, broken utensils.

【1】What problem did the author have in the morning?

A．She often slept late.

B．Her alarm failed to work.

C．She got some noisy neighbors.

D．Her sleep was disturbed by a rooster.

【2】What can we know about the author from Paragraph 2?

A．She was a very careful woman.

B．She was quite satisfied with her flat.

C．Her flat was pretty old but comfortable.

D．Her household articles were in poor condition.

【3】What happened when the author was making a burger?

A．She was seriously injured.

B．She made a terrible mistake.

C．She broke her phone accidentally.

D．She suffered a sudden power failure.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Remaining optimistic.

B．How to choose a nice flat.

C．Learning to live in a new life.

D．Why living abroad is not easy.

28、When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was her. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan...” And my mother was standing beside me,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two weeks ago？”And then, in perfect English I said, “I’m getting rather concerned.You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”

Then she talked more loudly, “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”

The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.

When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped me shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

【1】Why was the author’s mother poorly served?

A. She was not very polite.

B. She was often misunderstood.

C. She was not clearly heard.

D. She was unable to speak good English.

C. rude to the stockbroker

D. ready to help her mother

【3】After the author made the phone call,   .

A. they failed to get the check

B. they went to New York immediately

C. they forgave the stockbroker

D. they spoke to their boss at once

【4】What does the author think of her mother’s English now?

A. It helps her understand the world.

B. It embarrasses her.

C. It helps her tolerate rude people.

D. It confuses her.

29、A man is lucky to be alive after a horrible meet with a bear in Alaska. The unidentified man, who is said to be in his 50s, spent several days fighting for survival in the wilderness as a bear followed him-but then a Coast Guard helicopter team came to his rescue on Friday, July 16.

Commander Carbajal told the newspaper that their Coast Guard helicopter had changed course to avoid cloud cover on their way to a task when the shocking discovery was made. Though it was uncommon for the Coast Guard to come across people in need in the middle of nowhere,they noticed a shack(棚屋)with “SOS” and “help me” written on the roof.

The man later told his rescuers he had been staying at the shack since July 12. In those five days, he suffered non-life-threatening injuries, including damage to his leg.

“He was kind of struggling. When we came around, he was on his hands and knees waving a white flag,” Commander Carbajal said. “He definitely looked like he had been out there for a while,” he added.

“At some point, a bear had dragged him down to the river,” Commander Carbajal said. “He had a gun but the bullets were not enough. He said that the bear kept coming back every night and he hadn’t slept for a few days.”

It is reported that 68 people in the state were sent to hospitals in 66 bear attacks from 2000 to 2017. Ten people died from bear attacks during that period. USA Today noted that all three species of North American bears-including black, brown and polar bears-live in Alaska.

Twelve years, two months, and 28 days. That’s how long I’ve been 【1】 to the polos and plaid skirts of the uniform. Though most teen girls frown (皱眉) at the 【2】 of uniforms, at my high school, Carondelet High School in California, many students change their uniforms to suit their own style.

Uniform rules have always been 【3】. The restrictions are down to the inch: Gray or plaid skirts must be no shorter than two inches above the knee and only white, blue, black, and gray sneakers or flats are 【4】 . With all these rules, one can’t help but wonder how the typical rebellious teenager can express her 【5】 .

Still, they manage. Senior Michelle Ferrer says she accessorizes by wearing bright colors like green and pink in bracelets, shoe laces, and headbands to stand out and be fashionable. For any stylish Carondelet student, accessories are 【6】.

At Carondelet, one thing’s for sure: The older a student gets, the more she’s 【7】 to bend the rules. Senior Natalia Piwek admits that she often 【8】 her “tights and colorful socks” with “illegal shoes”. If you happen to see a girl with colorful tights or boots running across the hallway, it’s most likely that she’s running from a dean (院长).

In about two months, I will say goodbye to my uniform. I will miss the 【9】 of wearing it. However, I must say, wearing a uniform has taught mean important 【10】 that I will take with me when I go off to college: It doesn’t matter what you wear, but how you wear it.
