26、   The British poet John Donne once said: “No man is an island; every book is a world.” As an enthusiastic reader, I can’t agree with the latter part of the sentence more. Every summer, I endeavor to find some peaceful places where I can attack some classics without being disturbed. Thomas Hardy wants to live far from the crazy crowd. I am no friend to chaos, either.

I read George Orwell’s 1984 in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms. 1984 is a good book that needs deep reflection. Attempting The Sound and the Fury lying on the bed of a poorly-occupied motel, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes, but then my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn’t keep my eyes open.

But this summer I find myself at a loss. I’m not quite interested in J. D. Salinger, say, or Frankenstein. There’s always War and Peace which I’ve covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite — once more into The Call of the Wild or Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to belong to serious literature.

And then there’s John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath (愤怒). This title does not amaze but confuse. We’re never short of sour grapes, but we’ve never heard of angry grapes. Anyway grapes are my favorite fruit in summer. These stone fruits can always make me feel cheerful and peaceful all at once.

【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A.The author has a cottage in New England.

B.Both of the reading attempts were fruitful.

C.1984 is a book that needs careful thought.

D.The Sound and the Fury was set in a poorly-occupied hotel.

【2】What does the underlined phrase“get bogged down”in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Get confused. B.Be carried away.

C.Be disturbed. D.Make no progress.

【3】Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like cheating?

A.He finishes them quickly. B.He hardly understands them.

C.He should read something serious. D.He gets amazed by their titles.

【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A.To share his reading experience. B.To encourage readers to read books.

C.To introduce good books to readers. D.To condemn(谴责)the chaotic world we live in.

27、   Tom Savage has quit his job as a research analyst and found a perfect new start sting up his own social enterprise in Madagascar. He tells readers of the UK newspaper the Guardian that they can do likewise and follow their dream.

Every day dozens of Toms are reported in newspapers and magazines and on career websites and blogs. Their real-life tales aren't there to surprise or shock, as a result, many readers are taking on board.

Sophie Collins, 23, is a biology graduate from London. But before starting her course at university in Edinburgh, Scotland, she took a year out and enrolled in an Art Foundation course. “Art makes me happy, even if it won't pay my bills for a couple of years.” said Collins.

The idea that you should be free to follow your dream, whether as a young person or as a middle-aged adult with a well- established career, is on the upgrade.

In schools, students are taught that they can do whatever they want and can be whoever they choose so long as they work hard enough at that dream. People in the public eye, such as Italian classical singer Andrea Bocelli, have given up positions in admirable professions to take their chance on fame. Bocelli was a lawyer before he made it as a singer, selling 70 million albums worldwide.

The media and reality TV talent shows have also played their part in encouraging young people to follow their heart.

In 2006, 18-year-old Ray Quinn, barely out of school, finished second in the British TV talent show The X Factor. He later secured a record deal with Sony.

Each year since then, hundreds of thousands of people have applied to the show, hoping, and expecting, that the chance to realize their ambitions will soon come.

Even if they don't have a particular dream in mind, many young people are encouraged to take a year or two to find where their interests lie, instead of jumping into a job which they may later tire of.

George Evans, 24, is determined to find a job which interests him. “I think most of us recognize that it is happiness and not money that is the ultimate goal,” said the Cambridge University graduate. “Unless you are passionate about your career, you won't truly succeed.”

【1】Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.Sophie Collins took an art course before entering university to pursue her interest.

B.Andrea Bocelli, who used to be a lawyer, enjoys great success as a classical singer.

C.Ray Quinn achieved his career success though he had performed poorly at school.

D.George Evans thinks happiness counts more than money when choosing a career.

【2】What does the underlined phrase mean?

A.sharing the same boat B.accepting the idea

C.rejecting the concept D.ignoring the fact

【3】What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Choose a career that truly appeals to you.

B.Make efforts to be interested in your job.

C.Make attempts to seek a meaningful career.

D.Build up confidence when seeking a job.

28、   May is a beautiful month full of sunshine and flowers. It is also the month when we show thanks to our mothers on Mother’s Day.

In my family, Mother’s Day celebration is different every year. Two years ago, I made breakfast for my mom and she still remembers all the dishes I cooked. Last year, I bought her a selfie stick (自拍杆) with the money that I made from selling some of my old books. She uses it all the time.

I wanted to do something special on this “quarantined” (隔离) Mother’s Day due to the coronavirus (新冠病毒) outbreak. In April, I started to search for different gift ideas on the internet. Finally, I decided to make multiple cards by hand and make a box out of the cards. It took me a long time to make it. I then put a small bag of colorful chocolates in the box. The messages I wrote on the cards were some small favors I could do for my mom, such as wash-ing dishes.

On the night before Mother’s Day, I asked my mom to go to sleep early so that I could go into her room and put the present next to her bed. When she woke up, she was very excited a-bout my gift and spent a lot of time looking at every tiny detail of the box.

My mom is my hero and she has sacrificed (牺牲) her career to take care of me. I am glad that there is a special day in May for me to honor my mom and show her my thanks and love.

【1】What did the writer buy for her mom on last Mother’s Day?

A.dishes. B.selfie stick. C.chocolates. D.flowers.

【2】Why were they quarantined on Mother’s Day this year?

A.Because of the coronavirus outbreak.

B.Because of the sunshine and flowers this month.

C.Because of selling some of her old books.

D.Because of her mother’s sacrifice.

【3】Why did the writer ask her mom to go to sleep early on the night before Mother’s Day?

A.Because her mother is a hero.

B.Because she wanted to wash dishes.

C.Because she would make a box out of cards.

D.Because it was convenient for her to put her present.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Mother’s Day. B.A Box out of Cards.

C.May Love for Mom D.My Hero.

29、In my ninth-grade World History class, Mrs. Bartlett announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a newspaper around the culture we were studying. On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. Bartlett informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I had no doubt that I would get the group of my choice.

The next day, after the bell rang, Mrs. Bartlett called for our attention. She started to call out names. When she reached Group Three, Missy, my best friend’s name, was called. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There must be some mistakes! Then I heard it. “The last group: Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina.”

I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group—the boy who barely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by long skirts, and the other girl who wore strange clothes. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends. I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why...?” I started. She gently placed a hand on my shoulder. “I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this assignment. Only you can help them.”

I was shocked. I was amazed. She had seen something in me I hadn’t seen. “Will you help them?” she asked. I stood straighter. “Yes,” I replied. I couldn’t believe it came out of my mouth, but it did. I bravely walked to my group and sat down.

Halfway through the week, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three misfits(行为怪异的人). I grew sincerely interested in learning something about them. Mauro was struggling with the English language and his lack of friends. Juliette was also alone, because people didn’t understand that she was only allowed to wear long skirts or dresses because of her religion. Rachel wanted to be a fashion designer. They weren’t misfits, just people that no one cared enough about to try to understand except Mrs. Bartlett.

I did learn something that week. I was given a chance to see other people in a new light. Mrs. Bartlett gave us an A on that assignment. We should have handed it right back, for she was the one who truly deserved it.

【1】Which name is most probably included on the writer’s piece of paper?

A．Missy.

B．Mauro.

C．Rachel.

D．Juliette.

【2】What did the writer think of Mrs. Bartlett’s arrangement at first?

A．Favorable.

B．Puzzling.

C．Amazing.

D．Unacceptable.

【3】It can be learned from the passage that ________.

A．Mrs. Bartlett was not aware of what the writer wanted

B．the writer was mistakenly put into Group Four

C．it turned out that the writer enjoyed being in the group

D．the three misfits liked the way they were treated

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．A Group of Misfits

B．An A for Mrs. Bartlett

C．A Challenging Assignment

D．A Wise Choice
