26、 Traveling with kids is 90 percent reminding yourself to live in the moment and 10 percent making up your mind to never again leave your house.
I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon as we return home from a trip and I've finished washing piles of dirty clothes in our luggage and cleaning all the messy caused by the kids. Extremely tired and annoyed, I would actually begin to miss the place we just left!
Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful, actually, but also wonderful. And you remember only the wonderful—until you’re back on a plane and your kids are fighting over who gets the aisle seat. Then you remember the bad stuff.
Last weekend, my kids and I flew to Texas for a trip we would have nothing to complain(抱怨) about—big hotel, wonderful view.
And yet—we found things to complain about. The pool was bigger in that other hotel! Why do you get to shower first? They call this coffee?! Luckily, I’ve learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor (盔甲) on as soon as we land somewhere, and it forces complaints to bounce off me and land in a pile at my feet.
For three days, genuine fun was had and annoying complaints were heard and ignored. Until it was time to catch a plane and fly home.
Unfortunately, our flight was canceled. We spent hours finding a hotel room. We hit the hotel pool before bed and swam well into the night, my kids making up songs and laughing so hard at their silly lyrics (歌词) and their crazy good fortune to be swimming at 10: 30 on a school night.
And that was when it hit me that family travel is all those things I said before but it’s also a lot more. It’s taking your kids to parts of the world that will open their eyes and finding that actually, yours need opening too. It’s remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where you find them.
【1】The underlined word “uncanny” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A.unknown. B.uncertain.
C.unexpected. D.unusual.
【2】According to the passage, family travel is like childbirth in that .
A.they both cause financial trouble and pain.
B.they are both hard as well as rewarding.
C.childhood memories come flooding back when they travel.
D.both of them need many preparations.
【3】By saying “I’ve learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor on” in Paragraph 5, the author means that_ .
A.she tries to deal with the complaints more wisely and properly.
B.she turns those annoying complaints into a means to educate kids.
C.she has improved her language skills when handling the complaints.
D.she has succeeded in escaping kids’ fighting thanks to the armor.
【4】From the author’s experience in the passage, we can NOT learn that .
A.family vacation benefits her kids as well as her.
B.joy and memories should be created rather than discovered.
C.the most unforgettable memory for her is about the complaints.
D.she has to spend some time on housework after the family vacation.
27、Don’t know how to take care of your plants? A little spider-like robot will chase the sunlight, run to shade, dance when it’s doing well and stomp (跺脚) when it needs to be watered.
It’s called the HEXA Plant, a six-legged machine created by Vincross, a robotics company in Beijing, China.
The robot plant will crawl toward the sunlight when it needs it, then will rotate (转动) when it enjoys the sun in order to absorb its rays on all sides. When it needs to cool off, it will look for shade. It also plays with humans and dances when it is happy, moving its legs up and down. But it gets “angry” when it’s thirsty by stomping its legs.
With six legs, the HEXA Plant can move anywhere-in any direction and around any objects in its path. It’s even nimble enough to navigate (导航) unexpected drops, like if it had to suddenly step over a gap between two tabletops. It has a variety of “eyes”, including an infrared sensor (红外线感应器), a distance sensor, and a 720p camera with night vision, which could be very handy if you want it to send it out like a guard dog at night, to go check on any sudden noises. It has a built-in Wifi as well as various ports (USB) to expand its many talents.
So sure, it’ s not as cute as a garden gnome (守护精灵), but it can do a lot more than just stand there and look cute.
The inventor of the cute robot, Sun Tiangi, was inspired by a dead sunflower. He had idea why it died-whether it was because of the lack of sunshine or water. That’s when he had the idea for the walking plant. He says plants are passive. He wants to allow plants to experience movement.
【1】What can’t the HEXA Plant do?
A．Find a cool place when it feels hot.
B．Play with people.
C．Drink water when it’s thirsty.
D．Move in any direction.
【2】What does the underlined word “nimble” in the forth paragraph mean?
A．Happy.
B．Clever.
C．Angry.
D．Passive.
【3】What inspired Sun Tianqi to invent the HEXA Plant?
A．A walking plant.
B．A dead sunflower.
C．Sunshine and water.
D．A strange animal.
【4】Where can we most probably read the passage?
A．In an advertisement.
B．In a novel.
C．In a science magazine.
D．In a storybook.
28、 When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Storm chasing (追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm seasons.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth.”
【1】For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to ____.
A.get quickly into their cars for safety
B.wait patiently for the storm to develop
C.head straight for the center of the storm
D.collect information about a coming storm
【2】Beginners of storm chasing are advised ____.
A.to do it in an organized way B.to spend much more time on it
C.not to get too close to a storm D.not to drive in a heavy rain
【3】By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that ___.
A.storm chasing costs a lot of money B.efforts in storm chasing are well paid
C.storm chasing is worth hours of waiting D.a storm presents the greatest show on Earth
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A.Storm chasing is only fit for young people.
B.Some storm chasers were killed during the storms.
C.Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.
D.Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment.
29、 When I was three years old, I couldn’t speak at all. Unfortunately, however, none of the doctors I visited could understand.
One day, I was following my mother. She found herself looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met. She began to speak, to me through the reflection (反射), and I slowly began to mimic (模仿) her mouth’s movements until I formed a word.
It turned out I’m deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I’ve never lived in a state of self-hating sorrow. Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That’s my reality when I sleep on my “good ear”，and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.
People call my deaf side my “bad ear”，but when I wear my healing aid (助听器), I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don’t. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as if it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.
Owning a hearing aid hasn’t always felt good, however. On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show-and-tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy shouted out, “Aren’t those for old men?” At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my schoolmates.
But it’s not just school kids who can make us deaf and hard-of-hearing people feel like burdens (负担). Every video on social media (社会媒体) without subtitles (字幕), for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it. Completely deaf people are not included in enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.
And with hearing aids costing around $2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to the things that others think it natural. As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations — I’m lucky. I’m deaf, but I can stilI hear everything. I’ve been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human. And when it comes to sleeping, I’m even a superhuman.
【1】How does the author view his hearing difficulty?
A.It’s a disaster and causes him a lot of trouble.
B.It helped him to live in his own world without being troubled,
C.It made him feel proud in front of his classmates.
D.It gave him a chance to experience something special.
【2】What can be inferred from the passage about the author?
A.He was born deaf in both ears.
B.The hearing aid brings much convenience to his life.
C.His family and classmates have supported him a lot.
D.He is optimistic and helpful.
【3】What is the author’s attitude (态度) toward his life?
A.Thankful. B.Anxious. C.Excited. D.Disappointed.
【4】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A.To give advice on life to disabled people.
B.To show how difficult life is for disabled people.
C.To share his experience of treating a disadvantage.
D.To show the convenience a hearing aid could bring.
30、Can you imagine that having spent more than one thousand hours working hard but received no encouragement at all? This was the _________ thing I went through when I joined a new swim team with a Russian teacher, Peter. As a top_________ , I was used to receiving _________ from my former coaches.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are 【1】. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out other people’s 【2】 and on many occasions, to be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.
Is there really much truth behind this science of 【3】 human emotions through expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) 【4】 psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific advisor and the following are some of his explanations.
Hand-to-face gesture indicates a lie.
Each micro-expression is unique to 【5】 specific emotions because the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.
A liar refuses eye contact.
People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are 【6】 an excuse. Oblique eyebrows are a very reliable 【7】of sadness and few people can make this 【8】 expression, so it is actually never faked.
Guilty knowledge technique is 【9】.
Lightman often uses the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n)【10】. This is often used in polygraph exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual weapon is mentioned.
