26、Su Min, a 56-year-old retiree from Henan Province in central China, has never been happier. After finishing her family duty as a Chinese woman, Ms. Su is holding a new identity: fearless road-tripper. For six months, this Chinese aunt has been on a solo (独自的) drive across China, recording her journey for more than 1. 35 million followers across several social media platforms.
Before last fall, Ms. Su had rarely traveled. But she had long been fond of the idea of driving. Growing up in Tibet, she sometimes missed the school bus home and had to walk 12 miles through the mountains. Each time a truck passed by, she imagined sitting behind the wheel, safe and comfortable. But cars were rare, and having one seemed impossible. Then, in late 2019, she came across a video online of someone introducing their camping equipment while on a solo road trip. She remembered her childhood dream of driving—the freedom and comfort it had represented.
Over the following months, she watched every video she could find about road trips. She took plentiful notes: which apps they used to find campsites and which tricks they had for saving money. Soon, she made up her mind: Once her grandsons entered preschool, she would embark on a trip of her own. She had bought a small white car several years earlier, with her savings and a monthly pension of around $ 300.
In her videos, she was happy at her newfound freedom. She could go wherever she wanted and stop at any place she liked. Still, Ms. Su got shy when asked about her new fame. “It took me so many years to realize that I had to live for myself.” She paused, “It’s something I’m waking up to, not something that I just am.”
【1】Why was Su Min’s childhood mentioned?
A．To praise her rich imagination.
B．To recall her childhood in Tibet.
C．To indicate her desire for a truck.
D．To show her deep love for road trip.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “embark on” mean in paragraph 3?
A．finish
B．miss
C．start
D．order
【3】How did the solo trip change Su Min?
A．She started to pursue a life of her own.
B．She came to realize the importance of family.
C．She aimed to become an international celebrity.
D．She decided to inspire more women to travel alone.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A．A Retired Traveller Promoted Tourism
B．Su Min’s Identity Won World Attention
C．A Chinese Aunt Went on a Solo Road Trip
D．Followers Made Su Min’s Dream Come True
27、“Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday？” Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining，Tori brags，“You bet I did，Sean told me two days ago. ”
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about？It just happened to be yours truly，Adam Freedman. I can tell you that what they are saying is（a）not nice and（b）not even true. Still，Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students here at Linton High School，including me. Many of our conversations are gossip（闲话）. I have noticed three effects of gossip：it can hurt people，it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction，and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually，gossip spreads information about a topic—breakups，trouble at home，even dropping out–that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is，the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless，but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful，then why do so many of us do it？The answer lies in another effect of gossip：the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor（传言）can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don't. Similarly，hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”. In other words，gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority（优越感 ）.
Gossip also can have a third effect：it strengthens unwritten，unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms，this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said，then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The dos and don'ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news，think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.

A．To introduce a topic.

28、London will host a major exhibition(展览) of 15th-century Chinese artwork, including paintings, sculptures (雕塑)and porcelain, which are all from Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
The exhibition will be open from Sept 18 to Jan 5. On display will be 108 cultural relics from 10 museums in China, as well as collections from the British Museum and museums in Japan, the United States and Europe. The exhibition will be in five parts to give an overview of the society.
"This was a time when the political and social system of the dynasty became stable(稳定), and the country also experienced huge changes. China was in frequent contact with the rest of the world at that time, and its artists and scholars also influenced other cultures," said Yao Yu, the director of this activity. During this time, Beijing became the capital of China, and Zheng He (1371-1433) set sail and reached the shores of eastern Africa.
Jessica from the British Museum, said "reading" an artwork may differ in different cultures. "When a Chinese audience sees a painting you see figures and stories. But we see beautiful views. " However, she added that the British public had a basic knowledge of the dynasty and many British people probably knew more about the later period of the Ming Dynasty after the Portuguese and Spanish came to China to trade. Their houses and dining tables have Chinese blue and white vases but they don’t know much about the earlier period, which in China was a more culturally important period.
"We’d like to take away people from the idea that China became international after the Europeans arrived. China in the early Ming Dynasty was very international. "
【1】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Artworks from China. B. Museums in London.
C. An important exhibition. D. Ming Dynasty in China.
【2】What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Read aloud.
B. Learn something by heart.
C. Look at and appreciate something.
D. Write down something.
【3】Which of the following is NOT true about the Ming Dynasty?
A. It was a time when the political system of the dynasty was stable.
B. Beijing became the capital of China during that time.
C. Zheng He sailed to the shores of eastern Africa.
D. Ming Dynasty started from 1368 and came to an end in 1433.
【4】What can we know from Jessica?
A. British people have a good knowledge of the Ming Dynasty.
B. British citizens know more about the later period of the Ming Dynasty than the earlier ones.
C. British and Spanish came to trade in Ming Dynasty.
D. The later period of the Ming Dynasty is a more culturally important period in China.
29、From Santa Barbara to Scotland, strangers are becoming friends by going on bike rides together. They get paired up by Cycling Without Age, an organization that helps seniors go for bike rides, even if they can’t pedal themselves.
Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence, who are roughly 20 years apart in age, have been riding together for years. The 56-year-old Lawrence serves as a “pilot”, driving the trishaw-a bike with a passenger seat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides. They go for rides about once a week, often discussing the history of their town.
“Despite my deceased parents, it gives me a connection with people from an older generation,” said Lawrence, “and I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their Stories.” The pair have formed a friendship outside of cycling. Lawrence said he calls Lyon often and goes to the gym with him to help him with exercises he can’t do on his own.
Ole Kassow, who founded Cycling Without Age, said that’s the power of the program. “The truly powerful thing about these bike rides is that they tie people and stories together to create new relationships,” he told CBS News. “In my experience, friendships-and the ability to form new relationships at any age-are what define a good life, and often also a long and happy life.”
John Boettner started the Santa Barbara chapter. He has one rule for passengers. “They say, ‘What does it cost if I’m going to go for a ride?’ I say, ‘Here’s what it costs: You have to wave. If you don’t wave, I’m going to kick you out,’” he joked. He said he likes when they hit red lights, because it gives them a chance to connect with people on the road. “Driving the trishaw is the best advertisement for Cycling Without Age”, Boettner said, “When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek, it doesn’t get any better than that.”
【1】What benefit did Lawrence get from Cycling Without Age?
A．Picking up forgotten stories.
B．Improving his health condition.
C．Understanding his parents’ love.
D．Creating a relationship with seniors.
【2】Why did Ole Kassow mention “friendships”?
A．To share the pleasure of cycling.
B．To state the nature of happiness.
C．To show the value of the program.
D．To introduce the definition of a good life.
【3】What can we learn from Boettner’s words in the last paragraph?
A．The program needs to be advertised.
B．Passengers have to pay for their rides.
C．Red lights connect people with the pilots.
D．Bike riders feel content by offering rides.
【4】What message does the passage convey?
A．A true friend is one soul in two bodies.
B．Be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud.
C．Don’t go through life, grow through life.
D．Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
30、I'm a big fan of pop music and I enjoy listening to music quite a lot. Although people can listen to ____ music on their music players when they are travelling, working or studying, ____ festivals and concerts are becoming more and more ____. This is because I believe they offer two main ____.

31、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the 【1】? Or the soft background music?
But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is 【2】 to be no. But while a shop’s scent（香味）may not be 【3】 compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which 【4】 through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customer’s 【5】 to purchase increased by 80 percent.
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Paris, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. That is 【6】 because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.
Some years ago, the 【7】 for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ 【8】 attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (ecommerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks and mortar stores（实体店）can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. One brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a【9】. And scent is just one way to achieve this.
Now, a famous store uses complex manmade smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department. Another department store has even opened a new lab, 【10】 customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.
32、Justin and Mary woke up early, even though they were vacationing at their uncle's lake house. The night before, Uncle Thomas told them about the Foggy Figure that haunts (经常出没于) the lake. Justin and Mary were determined to see the ghostly creature before their vacation was over.
“Is it foggy outside?” Mary asked, as Justin carefully looked out the window.
“Yup! Let's go!” Justin let go of the curtain and rushed to the door with Mary.
It was only 5:00 a. m., so everyone else in the house was still asleep. As they moved quietly through the kitchen to the back door, Mary sniffed the air. It had the faint scent (气味) of coffee and something sweet. A sense of hunger struck her. "Maybe we should first have a breakfast, "she thought. But she still followed Justin out the door, down the back steps, and out onto the boat dock (码头). The fog had settled over the lake, making it impossible to see anything.
"Do you see anything?" Mary asked, moving forward for a closer look.
"Nothing. Do you think Uncle Thomas was just trying to scare us with that story?”
Uncle Thomas did have a good imagination. He'd been telling Justin and Mary stories for years, but this was the first scary story. Mary had a feeling it wasn't made up.
Mary shook her head. “Remember what Uncle Thomas said? The Foggy Figure haunts the lake. We're on the dock. Maybe that's why we can't see him. The people in the story were in boats.”
“You want to take a boat ride on the water?” Justin asked.
Mary looked around, trying to find Uncle Thomas's boat, but the fog was too thick.
“Mom and Dad will be really angry if we go out on the lake alone in this fog,” Justin said.
Mary shrugged (耸肩). “Maybe we don't have to go anywhere. We could sit in the boat while it's docked. That wouldn't be dangerous.”
“Okay.” Justin moved toward the end of the dock. He could barely see the outline of the boat. “I’ll go first.”
