26、 Everyone would like to be a millionaire , a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.
Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.
For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (热心的) about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters .
【1】We can infer (推断) from the text that most millionaires are __________.
A.older than 20 B.around 20 C.in their 30s D.in their 40s
【2】Which of the following is not true according to the text?
A.Though young, Britney can support her family now.
B.While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.
C.The teenage comedy movie was based on Britney’s own story.
D.Britney will be even richer with her movies successful.
【3】According to Britney Spears, she works __________.
A.to be a great actress B.for the enjoyment
C.for money D.to be more famous
27、After a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Decker can finally say, “Job pulled off!” Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Decker, who is from the Netherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.
Decker had wanted to take on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court (法院) in the Netherlands stopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Decker insisted she had the sailing skills and patience of an adult sailor.
She finally took off on January 20, 2011. During her trip, Decker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf, scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Decker didn’t spend all of her time at sea — she stopped at ports (港口) along the way — she did spend her 16th birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast.
But Decker didn’t sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for “youngest” sailors. They dropped the official recognition in 2009 ta discourage children from trying such dangerous feats (壮举). But that didn’t stop Decker, who was born on a yacht during a seven-year world travel at sea undertaken by her parents.
Decker doesn’t mind that she won’t hold an official record. She says it was a personal goal, and she is happy she achieved it.
“I am not feeling down at all that Guinness World Record won’t recognize my achievement.” Decker wrote on her website. “I did not start on my trip to achieve any record… I did it just for myself.”
【1】What does the underlined phrase “pulled off” in Paragraph I mean?
A.Failed.
B.Completed.
C.Continued.
D.Started.
【2】Why was Decker not allowed to sail at the age of 13?
A.Because people were concerned about her safety.
B.Because she didn’t learn any sailing skills well.
C.Because she had to continue her study at school.
D.Because she didn’t have enough patience for long trips.
【3】No records for youngest sailors were set up in order to ________.
A.set a higher sailing standard for teen sailors
B.stop children entering Guinness World Records
C.encourage parents to sail with their children
D.prevent children making dangerous travels
【4】What could be the best title for this passage?
A.A New Guinness World Record in Sailing
B.A New Sailing Standard for Teen Sailors
C.A Teen Girl Sailing Alone Around the World
D.The Youngest Sailor in Guinness World Records
28、 Friends play a very important part in everyone’s life. Friendship usually develops during childhood. New friends are made when you progress through school. Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long. Friends influence your development, maturity(成熟) and the sense of responsibility. A familiar opinion is “You can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his friends are.” Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are likely to be active. If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same.
Some people call you their friends for the wrong reasons. These people are not really friends. They are only “friends” on the outside, not the inside where it counts. Superficial (表面的)friends only want to be your friends if it is to their advantage. True friends are there whether you are rich or poor. It is easy to have many so-called “friends” if you are rich. By this time you should be able to recognize your friends as the “real” or the “false”.
True friends are most special. Sometimes they might not be easy to find, so you can consider yourself very lucky if you have one true friend. This friend is eager to help you whenever necessary. He or she knows you would do the same for them. A true friend is someone you can talk to about any subject or problem. You and your true friend have good understanding of each other. True friends support you, take your side, and build up your confidence.
【1】What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.How to make true friends.

D.What you value above anything is the friendship developing during childhood.

29、There are various treatments for baldness(秃顶) on the market. But what if you could regrow your own hair out of your own head by simply using an ointment(药膏)?
In a paper, South Korean scientists describe a treatment for hair loss that doesn't just prevent hair loss —it promotes the growth of new follicles(毛囊) in hairless mice.
Led by professor Kangyeol of Yonsei University, a team of researchers discovered a protein responsible for hair loss in pattern baldness—the most common type of hair loss in both men and women. It has been a three-year painful research. The good news is that the team have finally found a protein that controls the hair growth and developed a new substance(物质) that promotes hair regrowth by controlling the function of the protein. “We expect that the newly developed substance will contribute to the development of a drug that not only treats hair loss but also promotes hair regrowth,” Kangyeol said.
The trouble-maker seems to be CXXC5, which acts as a negative regulator(调节器) linked to hair regrowth and wound recovery. When CXXC5 mixes with some other protein, it prevents follicle development and hair regrowth. A new substance developed by the team prevents this mixing. It’s called PTD-DBM, and when tried on the skin of bald mice for 28 days, new follicles developed.
New treatments often take time to develop. It’s not only because they need to go through clinical trials to determine their safety, but also as we know, using mouse models to study how well things might respond in humans doesn’t always work. However, the team’s research is making progress rapidly. They’re currently testing their new substance on animals to determine whether it’s harmful, before advancing to human trials.
【1】Why does the author raise a question in Paragraph 1?
A.To raise doubts.
B.To introduce the topic.
C.To give examples.
D.To challenge the market.
【2】What does Paragraph 3 focus on?
A.The beginning of the research.
B.The ways of the research.
C.The difficulty with the research.
D.The results of the research.
【3】What does the underlined word “CXXC5” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A.A protein responsible for hair loss.
B.A substance developed by the team.
C.A protein contributed to hair regrowth.
D.A substance preventing the mixing.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards the research?
A.Doubtful.
B.Interested.
C.Positive.
D.Negative.

32、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Alexander sang all the time. He simply liked singing and practiced it all the time. He sang in the shower, and he sang while he walked to school. Personally, Alexander believed his voice was imperfect. “There will be tryouts for boys’ choir this weekend in our school,” he heard Kevin announcing in class.
Everyone around school knew Kevin had a fantastic sing voice. More importantly, warm-hearted and helpful, Kevin was always generous to give someone a hand.
With the tryouts in mind and an initial surge of interest, he kept imagining himself as a member of the boys’ choir, his heart thudding (砰砰直跳). However, he would explode with anxiety when he thought of singing with others. After school, walking slowly, he debated (反复思考) whether to attend it, for fear of being a drag (拖累) on others. “It would be nice if I could solo (独唱)” he thought to himself. Just then, out of the room walked Kevin, whose eyes brimmed with smile. Kevin patted his shoulder and whispered, “Let’s sign up together.” Inspired, Alexander signed his name.
The next morning, Alexander came to the tryouts. Taking a deep breath, he walked into the building, and then noticed the other boys who were all practicing delightfully. Alexander was seated on the chair alone, looking at other competitors nervously and not knowing how to join them.
Later, the choir director walked in and declared:“The whole selection process includes the individual performance and the group singing” Immediately things started. When Alexander’s turn came, his voice filled the room, loud and clear. He felt satisfied when he was done. After a short pleasure, however, the fear of singing with others flickered across his mind, casting him a surge of gloom.
