26、Talents may be artistic, technical, personal or social. Your talent needn’t be rewarding or useful, but it will always be your own.【1】That might take some work, but will benefit you a lot.

One of the best ways to find out what hidden talents you might have is to talk to people who know you best. We tend to overlook our abilities.【2】If you’re lucky enough to have family and friends who care about you, they won’t be shy about pointing out your talents.

【3】Blind Willie Johnson was blinded, but it was just because of his blindness that he was thought to be a more talented guitar player. So don’t let shortcomings or challenges discourage you from trying new things and developing talent.

Don’t be easily affected by others’ opinions.【4】Some people think James Marshall “Jimi” Hendrix was the best guitar player of all time, but a classical musician may consider him to be of no talent. Don’t let others tell you being an excellent rider isn’t a real talent, or that making good cheese doesn’t count.

Practice is also important. Even if you have no talent for the guitar, practicing two hours a day will guarantee you’ll get a lot better. Someone who practices will always end up more talented than someone who never does.【5】

A．Hard work always pays off.

B．Sometimes talents lie in your interests.

C．Playing music may make for a bright future.

D．So we miss out too often on what makes us great.

E．Ideas about talents may vary from person to person.

F．Learn to look for your talents and build them into abilities.

G．You should face your weakness positively to develop your talent.

27、The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max’s internals are nearly the same: With each, you get a 12 megapixel camera, better-sounding speakers and the ability to pack two SIM cards into one device for international travelers or people who have to turn between a device for work and one for personal use.

The phones come with Apple’s new A12 bionic chip, which helps make Face ID and games load faster. Apple played up the speed of these new phones during its product announcement, and they are fast. But so were the models before them.

Both models feature beautiful OLED screens that make watching videos, especially on the XS Max, totally surprising.

Battery life is also improved on both devices. Apple (AAPL) says you can spare about 30 minutes longer on the XS compared to last year’s X, and 90 minutes longer on the Max. It’s not a game changer, but we’ll take any extra minutes we can get.

There is one major difference between the iPhone XS and XS Max: size. The Max is unquestionably big, but it’s technically the same size as the iPhone 8 Plus. The edge-to-edge screen creates the illusion（幻想）the device itself is 21% larger than its predecessor, but it’ll fit in your hands just as easily (or not) as older Plus models.

But  it's  hard  to  shake  the  feeling  that  the  device  is  big  just  to  be  big.  Unlike the Samsung(SSNLF) Galaxy Note or  the iPad, the XS Max  doesn’t support many features tailored for bigger screens, such as another row of apps or a side-by-side display that lets you use two apps at once. It’s a missed opportunity.

The real star of the new models is the camera. A new feature called Smart HDR shoots a four-frame object taken at different exposures and settings and mixes them together to create more detailed shots — similar to an existing feature on the Google Pixel 2.

But the likely fan favorite feature is a change to the iPhone’s Portrait Mode that lets you change the depth of a photo after you take it, allowing you to have more creative control. For example, you can snap a shot of a friend on a beach and change the background for an artsy feel. If you decide later you want to see more of the ocean, you can change the background via the edit button.

It’s an impressive feature, but the results also depend on your photo skills and the lighting. When it's good, it’s really good. When it’s not, you'll still get a good-looking picture. The Pixel 2 and Samsung Galaxy S9 offer a similar feature, too.

The XS and XS Max come with headphones, but unlike last year, you won’t find an adapter included in the box. This means you’ll need to spend $9 more if you want to use an old pair of headphones. It’s Apple’s way of saying it’s finally time to get over the fact there’s no longer a headphone jack.

【1】There are many latest functions of next-generation iPhones EXCEPT .

A. the new iphones have a 12 megapixel camera, better-sounding speakers

B. the new iphones have the ability to pack two SIM cards into one device

C. the new iphones make Face ID and games load faster

D. the battery life of Max can squeeze about 30 minutes longer than that of XS

【2】What’s the major difference between the iphone XS and XS Max?

A. The Max is 21% larger than iphone 8 plus.

B. The iphone XS is as large as the iphone XS Max.

C. The iphone XS Max is larger than the iphone XS.

D. the iphone XS is larger than The iphone XS Max.

【3】What does the underline word“tailor”mean?（in Para. 6）

A. change   B. make

C. play   D. help

【4】What’s possible feature the fans like best?

A. The iphones have another row of apps.

B. The iphones have a side-by-side.

C. The iphones have Smart HDR shots.

D. The iphones enable you to change the depth of a photo.

28、Gordon Hartman had just got out of the swimming pool, when his 12-year-old daughter Morgan went up to some children playing in the water. She tried to play with them but they quickly left the pool. Hartman thought they didn’t know how to interact with someone with a disability-Morgan has a condition.

The incident played on Hartman’s mind. He asked other parents where he could take his daughter—somewhere she would feel comfortable, and others would feel comfortable interacting with her. He realised such a place didn’t exist.

So he decided to build a theme park where people with and without special needs could play. The park, called Morgan’s Wonderland, opened in 2010 in San Antonio, Texas. Attractions include an adventure playground and a carousel (旋转木马).

However, it was three years before Morgan would go on the carousel. “When we opened, she was too frightened to go on it. She didn’t understand why it was going around,” Hartman says. “It was a slow process but now she loves it. And she knows the park is named after her.”

So far, Morgan’s Wonderland has received over a million visitors. Entrance is free to any guest with a condition. He says most visitors are not disabled, and that the park is having the effect he hoped for. “It helps people realise that though we are different in some ways, actually we are all the same.” he says.

【1】What do the underlined words “The incident” refer to in paragraph 2?

A．Morgan refused to leave the pool.

B．Morgan lost interest in swimming.

C．Morgan failed to interact with other kids.

D．Morgan avoided playing with other swimmers.

【2】How did Morgan feel about the carousel ride at first?

A．She feared it.

B．She enjoyed it.

C．She was amazed by it.

D．She Paid attention to it.

【3】What can we learn about Morgan’s Wonderland?

A．It is named after its founder.

B．It is free to anyone with special needs.

C．It is designed only for the disabled.

D．It is going through difficult times.

【4】What does Hartman think of Morgan’s Wonderland?

A．It achieves the expected effect.

B．It gives visitors confidence.

C．It will become big business.

D．It is far from his expectations.

29、Our environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steel(钢铁) monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers, cars producing harmful waste gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet. Facing current environmental problems, people need to do their best to save the earth.

You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. They’re not there for a show, but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window, or “accidentally” drop as you walk down the street, ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.

At home, the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps（水龙头）are not leaky（漏的），which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights, and turn them off before you leave the rooms. It is not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.

Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.

Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives, in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.

With environmental protection awareness in mind, we can do what we can, for the results are to have a big effect on the planet. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.

【1】In the first paragraph the author uses “steel monsters” to describe________.

A. huge buildings   B. high mountains

C. big factories D. characters in fairy stories

【2】From the fifth paragraph, we can know that ________.

A. protecting the environment begins with small chores

B. protecting the environment should start from childhood.

C. wonderful life comes from environmental protection

D. protecting the environment benefits the country and the people

【3】Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The more people do their part, the greener the environment will be.

B. Selling what you don’t want any more is a kind of recycling.

C. To protect the environment may help you save some money.

D. Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.

【4】The passage is mainly about_____________.

A. the use of garbage dustbins

B. how to save water and electricity

C. how to save the environment

D. our current environmental problems
