26、   Greece restarted regular ferry (轮渡) services to its islands, and cafés and restaurants were also back open for business to rescue its tourism .

Travel to the islands had been generally off-limits since a lockdown was carried out in late March to stop the spread of the coronavirus, with only goods suppliers and locals allowed to enter. But the country’s low infection rate (感染率) in the COVID-19 pandemic encouraged the government to start the holiday season three weeks earlier than the expected June 15 date.

At Bairaktaris restaurant on central Monastiraki Square in Athens, waiters and other workers wearing face masks, prepared various dishes, arranged flowers on tables and waited for customers, who remained cautious. Spiros Bairaktaris, the owner, is carrying on a family business running for 140 years and has hung pictures on the wall of himself sitting next to supermodel Naomi Campbell, singer Cesaria Evora, and other famous customers.

Greece has had nearly 2,900 infections and 171 deaths from the virus. Italy has seen nearly 33,000 coronavirus patients die, Spain has had nearly 29,000 deaths and Turkey 4,340,  according to a record by Johns Hopkins University.

Social distancing rules and passenger limits have been introduced on ferries and at restaurants to prevent new infections. State-run health services to fight the coronavirus are being provided to the islands.

Tourism is a vital part of the Greek economy, directly contributing more than 10% of the country’s GDP . More than 34 million visitors traveled to Greece last year, spending 18.2 billion euros ($19.5 billion), according to government data.

【1】What does the underlined word “off-limits” in paragraph 2 probably refer to ?

27、Black Friday

The day after Thanksgiving is the start of the holiday shopping season. Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, so the day after is a Friday. This day has come to be known as Black Friday. It has been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005.

Most stores offer great deals on Black Friday. They open their doors in the small hours of the morning. They try to attract shoppers with big discounts. Some items like TVs are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.

Black Friday is a great time to get good deals. The problem is that there are not enough low-priced items to go around. Each store may only have a few. These items are in high demand. People stand in long lines to get such great deals. They may line up hours before a store opens. They may be hoping to get a low price on a TV or laptop, but not everyone who wants one will get one. Some people leave disappointed.

The situation can be tense(紧张的). Some Black Friday events have been violent. Large, eager crowds have trampled(践踏) workers. Fights have broken out over toys or people cutting in line. People have shot one another over parking spots. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan on going, expect large crowds and a bit of pushing and shoving.

So where does the name "Black Friday" come from? It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The police called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it drew. In the 1960s, spread across the country. It seems that it is here to stay.

Now people all over the country take part in the event known as Black Friday. It is even spreading to other parts of the world. Stores have held Black Friday events in the U.K., Australia, and Brazil since 2012. In Costa Rica Black Friday is known as "Viernes Negro." And in Mexico, stores offer an annual weekend of discounts. They call it "El Buen Fin," which means "the good weekend" in Spanish. I guess the language of savings is universal.

【1】Why do stores set prices so low on some items that they lose money?

A.They want people to enjoy the holidays.

B.They are generous at the beginning of the holiday season.

C.They hope people will buy other gifts while they are in the store.

D.They are trying to get rid of old items.

【2】Which best concludes the main idea of the third paragraph?

A.People stand in long lines on Black Friday.

B.Black Friday is a really disappointing time of the year

C.Black Friday is the best time of the year to get good deals.

D.Black Friday deals are limited and not everyone will get one.

【3】Which best describes the overall structure of the fifth paragraph?

A.Order of time.  B.Problem and solution.

C.Order of importance.    D.Compare and contrast.

28、   I have been studying literature all the time, so someone asked me if l made the wrong choice by devoting myself to studying literature. I was deep in thought.

A good friend of mine took every single literature class she could while in college and decided early on that she wasn't cut out to be a teacher. Her parents were concerned because she wasn't really focused on becoming something that would pay the bills. In order to mollify their concerns, she took a library science course and told them she would regard library science as a career path. But she ended up taking a job as a communications assistant at a mid-size company and eventually became the director of communications. She put her literature studies to work in making company materials and has benefited a lot from that.

Another friend turned his love of Hemingway’s writings into inspiration for his artworks. Most people don’t stay at one job for their entire career. I can’t tell you how many teachers I worked with over the years give up teaching to paint houses, work in an advertising company, start a company, and so on. A degree is important for many places to get your foot in the door. But I think you should choose your job based on what you're really interested in,and no one says you have to do something for the rest of your work life.

Colleges generally don’t clue you in on the possible career paths available to you with your particular studies, but some are getting far better with guiding students toward the possibilities.Your reading, writing and analytical skills would be great advantages to many companies, so don’t think that your love of literature is going to leave you with few choices. So I didn’t feel sad to devote myself to studying literature.

【1】What does the underlined word “mollify” mean?

A.Express. B.Relieve.

C.Deepen. D.Realize.

【2】What does the author want to say by mentioning his friends?

A.Learning literature is good for one’s later careers.

B.Most people have a negative attitude towards literature.

C.His friends both disliked the career connected with literature.

D.College majors(主修课） have nothing to do with career choices.

【3】Which of the following does the author probably agree with?

A.Change your jobs frequently. B.Stay at one job for all your life.

C.Love whatever job you take up. D.Choose your job by your interest.

【4】From the passage, we can learn that the author _______________.

A.didn’t regret studying literature all the time

B.had a negative attitude towards literature learning

C.thought that love for literature held the key to career paths

D.thought that colleges should design career paths for students

29、There are five keys to success in learning a foreign language.

Spend the time.

By far the most important factor is how much time you are immersed(浸入) in the language.

【1】This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning.

Listen and read every day.

Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player.【2】 Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.

【3】

Build up your vocabulary, you’ll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading.

Take responsibility for your own learning.

If you do not want to learn the language, you won’t. 【4】Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up.

【5】

Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or can’t yet understand. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you can’t control. So just make sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee of success.

A．Relax and make sure of the time spent with the language.

B．Focus on words and phrases.

C．Read what you are listening to.

D．Chat with others in the language on the Internet.

E．If you do want to learn the language, take control.

F．The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn.

G．There are hundreds of easy conversations for you to practice speaking.
