26、 The term "dark tourism" is far newer than the practice, which long existed before Pompeii became a dark attraction. Dr. Philip Stone, perhaps the world’s leading expert on dark tourism, considers the Roman Colosseum as one of the first dark tourist sites, where people travelled long distances to watch death as sport. Later, until the late 18th century, the appeal was crueler still in central London, where people paid money to watch mass hangings. Pies would be sold at the site, which was where Marble Arch（大理石拱门）stands today.
It was only in 1996 that "dark tourism"entered the scholarly vocabulary when two professors in Glasgow applied it while looking at sites related to the murder of John F. Kennedy. Those who study dark tourism give plenty of reasons for the growing phenomenon（现象）, including raised awareness of it as a recognizable thing. Access to sites has also improved with the arrival of cheap air travel. It is hard to imagine that the Auschwitz-Birkenau memoir and museum would now welcome more than two million visitors a year without its nearness to Krakow’s international airport. Peter Hohenhaus, a widely travelled dark tourist based in Vienna, also points to the sharp rise in off-the-beaten-track tourism, beyond the territory of popular guidebooks. "A lot of people don't want mainstream（主流） tourism and that often means visiting places that have a more recent history than, say, a Roman ruin." he says. You go to Sarajevo and most people remember the war being in the news, so it feels closer to one’s own biography(传记).’
Hohenhaus is also a fan of "beauty in decay(腐朽)," the current cultural movement in which urban ruins have become subject matter for expensive coffee-table books and a thousand Instagram accounts. The combination with death is clear. "I have always been drawn to ruined thing," the 54-year-old says. But while, like any tourism, dark tourism at its best is educational, the example of Grenfell Tower( a London tower block, destroyed by a fire in 2017 with 71 deaths) suggests the unease felt at some sites. "I remember the Lonely Planet Bluelist book had a chapter about dark tourism a while ago and one of the rules was ‘don't go back to early."Hohenhaus says." I will be interested to see Grenfell Tower up close. I can see the attraction. But I would not stand in the street taking a selfie merrily."

27、 Have you ever wondered what the longest word in the English language is? Believe it or not, there’s no simple answer to the question. You might think it would be as easy as opening a dictionary and looking for the longest word. However ，it’s far more complicated (复杂的) than that.
Over time, many people have suggested many different words for the title of the longest word in English. How can that be? That’s because the first thing that people have different opinions on is what should be considered a word. Some of the words were simply made up to be the longest! For example, there is one really famous long word that most kids know. It comes from Disney’s movie Mary Poppins: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, which means wonderful. But since that 34-letter word was made up simply to be sung as a song in a movie, should it count?
How about long words that actually describe something in the world? Scientists have come up with several possible choices. The name of a virus(病毒) totals 1,185 letters. There’s also a protein(蛋白质) whose name totals 1, 909 letters. Should these win the title? "Not so fast!” say some people. Are these words ever actually used? Can they even be pronounced? And are they meaningful just because they are made up to be long?
If you’re wondering about some long words in common English, here are some examples. Those words include uncharacteristically (20 letters), deinstitutionalization(22 letters) and counterrevolutionaries (also 22 letters) Or perhaps the word "smiles" is the longest word in English. Sure, it has only six letters, but there is a "mile between the first and the last letters!
【1】Why does the author mention the underlined questions in Paragraph 3?
A. To ask for readers opinions.
B. To compare different ideas
C. To describe the condition
D. To show people’s doubt
【2】How does the author sound in the last paragraph?
A. Proud B. Humorous C. Excited D. Surprised
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A. English words change a lot as time goes by. B. Long words are often used in scientific fields
C. It is hard to decide what the longest word is. D. Why we can’ t understand some English words

29、 Today, we drive safer cars on safer roads, but most car accidents are the result of human error. 【1】 So it’s a good idea to review some basic rules for safe driving. Here are four driving tips that will help bring you and your passengers home unharmed.
1. Practice defensive（保护的）driving.
Defensive driving includes keeping a safe distance and not speeding. 【2】 Accept small delays, such as staying in line behind a slower car instead of suddenly changing lanes.
2. 【3】
Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how safely you drive. You are driving at the speed limit and obeying all traffic rules but someone else can crash into you. One good rule is to think everyone else on the road is a fool and be prepared for anything unexpected. 【4】 And it pays to be ready when you do.
3. Don’t follow too closely.
Drivers need enough time to react if the car in front makes a sudden turn or stop. It can be too difficult for drivers to judge the proper distances while driving and the exact distance is adjusted by speed, so most experts suggest a “three-second rule”.
4. Be more careful in bad weather.
【5】 Drive below the speed limit if necessary, keep extra space between you and the car ahead, and be especially careful around curves. If the weather worsens, just find a safe place to wait out the storm.
A.Wear your safety belt.
B.Watch out for other drivers.
C.Chances are that you’ll eventually meet someone foolish.
D.The best way to reduce accidents is to practice safe driving behaviors.
E.If you’re driving through fog, heavy rain or on icy roads, be extra careful.
F.Remaining calm in the face of annoying traffic is another major part of the idea.
G.If a driver is tired enough to fall asleep while driving, the results are terrible.

31、
The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 【3】 among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore when a person from one of these culture is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 【4】 is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these culture, silence is a call for 【5】.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 【6】 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 【7】between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority（权威）rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 【8】 meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own persona and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not 【9】 too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 【10】 of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
