26、Life is just like a box. Inside it are happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in it teach us new lessons and make us a better person.

Love

【1】 Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel and violent. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care. They tell us what is right or wrong, good or bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to the feelings of others. Kids make a person responsible and help us to understand life better.

Happiness and sorrow

Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others gives a certain level of fulfillment.【2】 No mind is happy without peace.

We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and will pass away.

Failure and success

【3】. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.

Hope and despair

【4】Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same. We have only one choice — keep moving on in life and be hopeful.

【5】. Yesterday has passed . So the only correct way is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

A．Peace of mind is the main link to happiness

B．Failure is the path to success

C．Love plays a key role in our life

D．So let’s enjoy every day

E．Success lies in trusting yourself

F．Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday

G．Hope is what keeps life going

27、   

No one can doubt the fact that education plays an important role in a person's life. However，different people prefer different ways of education. Recently，a survey in Canada found that about 40 percent of high school students are not in favor of daily homework，which quickly led to a heated discussion about whether daily homework should be ended or not in schools.

Some people insist that daily homework helps students a lot. Yet others are for the opinion that homework is nothing more than a routine activity that cuts time for leisure or physical exercise. It’s true that out­of­class activities should be valued in a student's development，but from my point of view，homework still plays an important role in one's life.

Doing daily homework is a way to build a foundation for a person's self­development. In the long run，students' study habits will be more developed and their awareness of the importance of learning will be raised by doing homework every day. An experiment carried out by the University of British Columbia found that former students who did homework every day still take part in self­study every day even though they have already graduated. Homework also helped give them a deeper understanding of how important education is in a person's life.

Students doing homework every day also have better time management skills，since daily academic exercises can help them plan their free time more effectively. Take me as an example，I spent a lot of time playing video games when I was in primary school when there was little homework to do. After I got to middle school，the time I spent on homework began to increase greatly. But it did not become a burden for me. Instead，it helped me get rid of my gaming habit as well as improve my ability to manage time.

Doing homework not only develops students' good habits and knowledge，but also improves their ability to manage their spare time. Although doing daily homework isn't ideal for everyone，people have to admit that the advantages it brings are more valuable than the harm.

【1】What's the author's attitude toward doing homework?

A．Favorable.

B．Doubtful.

C．Neutral.

D．Critical.

【2】Some students are not willing to do homework because they think___________．

A．there is no point in doing homework

B．doing homework takes up their spare time

C．there is too much homework for them

D．their daily homework is too easy

【3】What section of a newspaper is this text most probably taken from?

A．Science.

B．Health.

C．Business.

D．Education.

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

a. Doing homework develops students' good habits.

b. Students have to waste their free time doing homework.

c. Doing homework does good to students' health.

d. Students improve time management skills by doing homework.

A．a，d

B．b，c

C．a，c

D．b，d

28、Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, I’ve enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork — and chopsticks!

Mum has sweet memories of the food from her hometown in Sichuan, and often cooks spicy dishes. On account of this, Dad has come to love hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try even after many years of marriage to my mother. He once told me he was surprised by what he saw on the table when he first visited my mother’s parents in China. He was even shocked at their wedding when he saw how the Chinese ate almost every part of an animal. Even today, he still does not easily take to eating things like chicken feet.

But I enjoy that sort of food myself. Last week, I went to the butcher’s and asked, “Do you have pigs’ ears?” “No,” the butcher (屠夫) said, pulling at his own ears, “just these ordinary ones.” He must have thought I was joking.

Dad can cook a super “full English breakfast” of bacon, eggs, beans, sausages and toast with butter. Mum and I just have to find a way to get him into the kitchen! He also does a typical Sunday roast. We all love roast beef and vegetables, but Mum says we’d better not eat too much roast food as it may make us suffer from heat inside our bodies, according to traditional Chinese medicine.

I’ll never forget my visit to China. Mum encouraged me to try different kinds of food, and I did! I loved everything. But just when I thought I could deal with all Chinese food, I came across stinky tofu, a terrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe. “You needn’t try it if you don’t want to,” Mum said, but I gathered all my courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn’t that bad. It reminded me of blue cheese, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate. Maybe I’ll fall in love with stinky tofu someday.

People say that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, but I feel at home with different food from both China and Britain. To me, there’s nothing better than a cross-cultural afternoon tea of English biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolong tea in a fine china cup!

【1】What do you know about the author’s taste for food?

A．He prefers British food to Chinese food.

B．He has tried but cannot stand Chinese food.

C．He will never get used to some Chinese food.

D．He enjoys British food as well as Chinese food.

【2】What can we infer from the paragraph 2 and 3?

A．The author just played a trick on the butcher.

B．Almost no people in England eat pigs’ ears.

C．Pigs’ ears are popular in Britain.

D．The butcher was interested in pigs’ ears.

【3】What does the underlined sentence mean?

A．People have different tastes for food.

B．Some food can be harmful to health.

C．A good diet can build up one’s health.

D．People ought to digest different food.

【4】How does the author feel about the cross-cultural food?

A．Puzzled.

B．Upset.

C．Concerned.

D．Pleased.

29、Julia Butterfly Hill worked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making money. Then one day she had a serious car accident, which changed her life. Hill said: “I realized I wanted to find a more powerful purpose for being here on this planet.”

As soon as she recovered, Hill traveled to California and she wanted to do something meaningful. There she saw ancient redwood trees, which are the largest trees in the whole world. The wood from redwood trunks is very hard. So the Pacific Lumber Company cut down many of the huge redwoods to use for construction. There are not many forests of these trees left. Many environmental activists want to protect the remaining trees. The redwoods are very important to the environment.

In 2012, Hill learned a group called Earth First was working to protect a particular group of trees. They decided to send someone up into a redwood tree, hoping this would stop the company from cutting the trees down. Julia Butterfly Hill volunteered.

Hill lived in the tree for over two years without ever coming down. Her home was a 6-by-8-foot tree house, 180 feet up. It is always cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious winter storms while Hill was in the tree. The wind and cold almost knocked Hill out of the tree. But she did not fall — she survived.

Finally, after years of arguing, the company decided to protect Luna, the tree Hill lived in. They signed an agreement to never cut down this huge redwood tree or the trees around it. When Hill put her feet on the earth again, she began to cry. But from that moment on Hill hasn’t stopped working to protect the environment.

【1】What made Hill think about doing something meaningful?

A．A car accident.

B．A forest fire.

C．A redwood tree.

D．A serious disease.

【2】What problem did Hill find in California?

A．The Pacific Lumber Company lost much money.

B．People could only use the redwoods for construction.

C．Environmental activists didn’t work together.

D．The redwoods were disappearing quickly.

【3】How were Julia Butterfly Hill’s living conditions in the tree?

A．Comfortable.

B．Tough.

C．Cool.

D．Satisfying.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true about Julia Butterfly Hill?

A．She once lived in a redwood tree for over two years.

B．She had a sense of social responsibility.

C．She continued working to protect the environment.

D．She finally gave in to the Pacific Lumber Company.

Dyson has become a byword (代名词) for high-performing products, technology, design, and invention. James Dyson, the inventor and entrepreneur who made it all happen, tells his remarkable and inspirational story in Invention: A Life.

Over a four-year period, James Dyson made 5,127 prototypes of the dual cyclonic vacuum cleaner (双气旋真空吸尘器) that would transform the way houses are cleaned around the world. In d【1】 all his resources to developing the technology, he risked it all, but out of many failures and   【2】 (巨大的) efforts came success. His products — including vacuum cleaners, hairdryers and fans — are not only revolutionary technologies, but design classics.

This was an outcome of his time studying at the Royal College of Art in the 1960s, when he was inspired by some of the most famous and 【3】 (influence) artists, designers, and inventors of the era.

In Invention: A Life, Dyson reveals how he came to set up his own company and led it to become one of the most 【4】 (杰出的) technology companies in the world. Dyson has always looked to the future, even setting up his own university to help provide the next generation of engineers and designers, for, as he says, “Everything changes all the time, so experience is of little use.”

Whether you are someone who has an idea for a better product or a(n) 【5】(ambition) entrepreneur, whether you appreciate great design or just need a page-turning read, Invention: A Life offers you inspiration, hope, and much more.
