26、While people in both England and the U.S. speak English, the two types of English can be very different.
First, there are differences in spelling. The British like the letter “u” and have kept it in many words.【1】Somewhere in our language history, we decided that “labor”, “color” and “favorite” were just fine without the “u” next to the “o”.【2】Sometimes, we use totally different words. Here, we live in apartments with elevators. Over there, they live in flats with lifts. We power our cars with gas. They use petrol. And, if we need to look in our car's dark trunk for something, we use a flashlight. They would use a torch to search their dark boot.【3】Some British and American idioms have the same meaning, but use different words. For example, in the U.S. if you want to add your opinion to a conversation, you put in your two cents. In the U.K., they put in their two pence. Make sense. They have pence and we don’t. Finally, a familiar word used by both countries but in different ways is “cheers”. We use the word over drinks when we are wishing someone good health or congratulating on success. The British use “cheers” to mean “thank you.”【4】
Now, we don't expect you to pick sides.【5】
A．The usage of the word comes from America.
B．For that, we Americans say, “Thank you!”
C．American English will be used more often than British English.
D．Americans have dropped it.
E．Then there are idioms.
F．Both American and British English have their strong points.
G．But our differences go beyond spelling.

28、These days, it's not unusual to see middle-aged men collecting Star Wars action characters, office workers wearing Hello Kitty decorations, or famous people like David Beckham playing with Lego bricks. It's becoming more and more common to see adult taking an interest in toys, books and the activities that are traditionally designed for children. This phenomenon has led to a new word: kidult.
What lies behind the phenomenon? One is that adults miss their happy days of childhood, and this is especially true with today's fast-paced, stressful lifestyles. Another is that adults have more time and money to spend on themselves. Some adults could only window-shop for their dream toys when they were kids, but now they can afford that radio-controlled car or high-priced doll they have always wanted.
Society traditionally disapproves of adults who continue their childhood interests, viewing it as a sign of irresponsibility. Those who agree with this view sometimes believe that kidults are suffering from Peter Pan Syndrome, a state of mind where people do not want to grow up.
From the view of kidults, though, this phenomenon is seen as nothing but harmless fun. Kidults think that having youthful interests keeps them young, happy and creative, and their refusal to meet with society's acceptable tastes shows independent thinking. Besides, they argue that being a kidult is not just a personal choice. The real causes include expensive housing, increased educational requirements for work and poor work opportunities.
【1】According to the text, a kidult is________.
A．an adult who hasn't grown up
B．a kid who lives with an adult
C．an adult who has a simple mind
D．an adult who takes up childhood interests
【2】Which of the following best explains "disapproves of" underlined in paragraph 3?
A．Refuses.
B．Forgives.
C．Encourages.
D．Respects.
【3】What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A．To introduce a rising phenomenon.
B．To complain about strange people
C．To encourage studies on kidult culture
D．To present reasons for the kidult culture.
29、Last year I went to the Rio de Janeiro Carnival, and it blew my mind. It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However ,the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any given day. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sister’s friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me around at the carnival. He did not let me down.
Well, the carnival is all about the samba. It’s a style of music and dance which has its origins in Africa. Lots of Africans were used as slave labor by the Portuguese when Brazil was being conquered, so this mixed culture of African, Latin and European styles is really strong here. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals(和声).It’s the kind of music that you couldn’t help dancing to. And I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd, I couldn’t help moving my hips and shoulders.
Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba parade inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools compete for the championship, but we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street. About the samba parade, twelve main teams compete for the championship, and if they win, their performance will be talked about for years to come.
So, you must be wondering how it was. Well, I’m afraid I can’t tell you. Ronnie and I never made into the Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and it was truly amazing.
【1】How did the author feel once she arrived at the carnival?
A．Disappointed.
B．Anxious.
C．Excited.
D．Annoyed.
【2】What can be known about samba in Paragraph 2?
A．It has a strong mixed culture.
B．Its music is always fast but soft.
C．It is not to the taste of the author.
D．It has its origins in South America.
【3】Why didn’t the author regret missing the main parade?
A．She met some amazing local people.
B．She gave her own parties in the street.
C．She celebrated the festival in a local way.
D．She didn’t have the tickets for the parade.
【4】What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To recommend a helpful guide.
B．To encourage people to learn samba.
C．To share an unforgettable experience.
D．To tell a cruel history of Rio de Janeiro.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
It was 【1】that students did not write details of how they arrived at their answers or conclusions. I decided to help students write in more detail about what they were thinking when they solved their problems or when they wrote about their ideas.
I chose a common, everyday task that all of us 【2】 in: choosing what to wear. When I asked them how they decided what they wore that day, there was a(n) 【3】 moment of silence. It seemed a 【4】 silly question. A few just said “they wore what they wore.” This was a perfect beginning as it was the same kind of response they were giving as to how they were getting their math answers. I told them how I decided what I wore that day.
First I checked the weather in the paper and by looking outside. I had to decide between wearing a dress or skirt since either one could make a difference in the 【5】 I wish to give. Most of the girls related to this one. I had to be sure what I wanted to wear was clean and ironed. They 【6】 no one ironed clothes any more. I had to check to see if I had shoes that went with the possible outfit. I thought about what I had worn 【7】 as I usually don’t wear the same clothes in the same week. I thought about the color I felt like wearing. I thought about the 【8】 I would be doing that day both at school and after school.
Each new consideration brought out comments from the students. I could expand on each or just mention it and go on, 【9】 on how long I wanted the lesson to go. After this discussion, it was clear to students that their thinking process is richer than they first suspected. It was a good lesson for showing details of the thinking process of which we weren’t 【10】.
