26、 Liana nervously bit her nails while she waited for the exam to arrive. She looked around the room; hundreds of other law students sat in rows staring anxiously at the tables in front of them. Just as she began to take a deep breath to calm her anxiety, an exam booklet(册子) was placed in front of her. This was the moment she had been expecting ever since she began law school three years ago. She picked up her pencil, and opened to the first page of the bar exam, a test for all students wanting to become licensed lawyers.
Liana never thought she would want to become a lawyer. Her parents were both artists. Law was something she had not been exposed to as a child. But art made for a tumultuous career—both of her parents had struggled to find jobs and worked round the clock when they were young. Even though they finally seemed successful and happy, Liana wanted something different.
She was the anchor on her high school debate team, and consistently impressed her competitors with her analytical thinking. “Never argue with Ms. Lakes,” her teachers would say. So she chose to major in law. In her mind, she pictured herself in a New York City courtroom(法庭) dressed in an expensive suit, with papers in her hand, waving at the jury(陪审团) in a speech on human rights.
But now, with the bar exam sitting in front of her, she started to worry. “What if I don’t pass? Did I study enough?” Her thoughts raced through her mind. On the first page were seven paragraphs detailing a law situation followed by a series of questions. Liana read through the paragraphs, and quickly scribbled down an explanation of the first question before moving onto the next question. The next few hours went like this as the clock ticked closer and closer to the lunch hour.
At 12:00 p.m. sharp, a buzzer(蜂鸣器) sounded and everyone was told to put down their pencils and walked out for an hour-long lunch break. At lunch, Liana met her friend, Kevin.
“How did it go?” she asked. “To be honest, I’ve no idea. I just kept writing.” Kevin said. Liana laughed and said she felt the same way.
After lunch, the two exchanged words of encouragement. They strolled back into the exam center a bit more refreshed. Liana finished the second half of the exam that day with a better feeling than what she started with in the morning.
【1】What do we know about the bar exam Liana is taking?
A.It is for someone to be a qualified lawyer.
B.It has many law situations to describe.
C.It lasts for hours without stopping.
D.It takes place every three years.
【2】“A tumultuous career” in Paragraph 2 probably is a career that ________.
A.has lots of chances of success
B.needs to work in different cities
C.is full of competition and hard work
D.demands much professional knowledge
【3】Liana wanted to be a lawyer because ________.
A.she was good at arguing and debating
B.she wanted to follow her friend’s advice
C.she believed it would bring her a rich and happy life
D.she aimed to devote herself to protecting human rights
【4】At the end of the exam, Liana felt more ________.
A.nervous B.curious
C.energetic D.confident
【5】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Wild Dream B.A True Lawyer
C.The Big Test D.A Hard Choice
27、Literature is the body of written works produced by scholars and researchers, who specialize in a given field. Why is literature important? Let’s see.
Literary works are descriptions of the thinking patterns and social criteria. They’re a description of the different aspects of common people’s life. 【1】 They also encourage imagination and creativity. Exposing oneself to good literary works is like providing one with the finest educational opportunities. On the other hand, the lack of exposure to good literature is equal to depriving(剥夺)one of the opportunity to grow.
Some of the great literary works provide society with the guiding principles of life. Works by poets like Homer, Plato, Sappho, Horace and many more are timeless. 【2】 The Lord of the Rings, The Godfather, A Tale of Two Cities, and James Bond series are some of the best-selling books of all time that have entertained several generations.
There are also great works in children’s literature. Amused by the stones they tell, kids associate themselves with these books’ characters and idealize some of them. Moral stories are an aid for parents and teachers to let the kids learn important lessons in life. Aesop, Enid Blyton, and Mark Twain are some of the most widely popular children’s authors. 【3】
True, languages are the building blocks of literature. But the study of literature cannot be restricted to only studying languages. 【4】 A degree in language and literature perhaps can’t provide one with everything literature can offer. Its scope(范围)is so deep and wide that even a lifetime may not be enough to really study literature.
【5】 Great literary and poetic works help a person take a closer look at the different aspects of living. In many ways, literature, in its different forms, can change one’s attitude towards living.
A．Literature helps understand life.
B．Literature has an effect on health and wealth.
C．They have enriched the childhoods of so many.
D．Classical literary works serve as food for thought.
E．In fact, literature can’t be limited to an educational course.
F．They have always amused their readers and will continue to.
G．Instead, literature lays the foundation of a wealthy life, adding “life” to “living”
28、 Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.
Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands. Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands. About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so. The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.
The chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly. The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will be also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband (腕带) or a ring with a chip instead. They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.
Three Square Market is the first company in the United Slates to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.
Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity theft, similar to credit cards.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004, so they should be safe for humans, according to the company.
In the future, people with the chips may be able to do more with them, even outside the office. Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market. He says, “Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.”
【1】What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The substitutes of the chips.
B.The potential risks of implanting the chips.
C.The places to implant the chips.
D.The advantages of the chips.
【2】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.the hands B.the scanners
C.the employees D.the credit cards
【3】We can infer that ________.
A.the chips have magic powers
B.the price of the chips is reasonable
C.the chips are very popular among the employees
D.most people suspect the application of the chips
【4】Which of the following best describes Todd Westby’s attitude towards the chips?
A.Defensive. B.Disappointing.
C.Casual. D.Optimistic.
29、For many Chinese consumers, a satisfying breakfast is one that includes either hot porridge or steamed buns. Cold sandwiches, which are usually popular with Westerners, are probably one of the last options on their minds. But that is not to say that consumers, especially those in an international city like Shanghai, would avoid everything considered Western for breakfast. For instance, coffee, which has steadily grown in popularity in the country, is one drink that many cannot do without today.
To satisfy this growing demand for breakfast sets that combine elements from the East and the West, food companies have been rolling out a host of new offerings to attract the customer. One example is Shanghai Qiao Coffee, which was launched by local time-honored food company Qiaojiashan at the end of 2019. Apart from its traditional dim sum, the store also sells various types of coffee.
According to Shen Yan, deputy manager of Shanghai Qiaojiashan Food Development Cold, the most popular breakfast set at the moment is the steamed vegetable bun paired with black coffee. “The calories that one gets from a meal featuring Chinese dim sum and coffee are less than those of a Western breakfast. Since a steamed bun has nearly 200 calories and a cup of black coffee barely has any calories, this combination can be considered healthy and delicious," said Shen.
Even the smaller shoppers in the food scene are jumping on the East-West breakfast trend. Western food establishments, too, have been rolling out Chinese breakfast options. "Consumers and even cultural heritage will also benefit from the increased competition. If not for the current trend which has revived interest in certain traditional dim sum, these foods could soon be lost to history," Shen said.
【1】What can we leant about breakfast in Shanghai in paragraph!?
A．People prefer porridge and steamed buns.
B．Cold sandwiches are a popular choice.
C．People avoid western food for breakfast.
D．Coffee is a must for many people.
【2】Why does the set of the steamed vegetable bun with black coffee sell well?
A．Because it's newly launched.
B．Because it contains more vegetables.
C．Because it's traditional.
D．Because it's tasty and healthy.
【3】What can we learn from Shen's words in the last paragraph?
A．The competition for breakfast sets is of no benefit to consumers.
B．Only big companies have the ability to seize the market share.
C．Western food companies don't care about East-West breakfast.
D．Some traditional foods might disappear without the combination trend.
【4】What docs the author intend to tell us?
A．Chinese consumers show more interest in western food.
B．Western breakfast is warmly welcomed by Shanghai people.
C．The Chinese-Western breakfast set is becoming a hit in Shanghai.
D．Shanghai Qiao Coffee has won great success for its breakfast sets.
