26、There are many traditions around the holidays. “Holiday traditions” are things that people do every year during a holiday such as Christmas or Thanksgiving. At Christmas, for example, many people put up a Christmas tree or Christmas lights. These are Christmas traditions that have been going on for many years. But there is a “new” Christmas tradition that has become very popular: the TV firelog, a TV channel that shows nothing but a large log fire, blazing in a fireplace.
People put it on their TV and it makes them feel like they are watching and listening to a crackling fire. It makes them feel calm and comfortable. The origin(起源) dates back to 1986 in Canada. At that time, not very many people knew about it or watched the channel. Today, more than three million people watch the firelog channel during the winter holiday season. That year, the firelog channel was created(创造) to give the workers in the company that is now called Shaw Cable, a break at Christmas. By running the firelog during the holidays, everyone could go home for a few days and enjoy a bit of time off.
At that time, it was only broadcast to people in Edmonton but today it reaches people across Canada and beyond. This year, the Shaw firelog was updated. It is pretty high tech. Although it’s still really just a fire log that has been filmed, it has its own Twitter account (@ShawFireLog), its own Facebook page and it even has a computer App so you can see the burning log on a smartphone or a tablet. The Shaw firelog will burn until Jan. 5 on Shaw Cable, channel 222.

27、Dear Dad,
Today I spent a lot of time choosing carefully and reading the Father's Day cards at the shopping mall. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet it hit me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You'll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father's Days together. I haven't always been with you on Father's Day but I've always been with you in my heart. You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap（代沟）. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.
The Father-Daughter Conflict（冲突） changed into high gear ( 档位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the 54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. To my surprise, when the police officer who sent me home after you reported the Chevy stolen, you were so tolerant（宽容的） about it because I had thought that would probably be the worst night of my life.
Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.
But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.
I guess what I'm trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and it's wishing that never had to end.
I love you, Dad.
Love,
Mary

28、 Andrew Ritchie, inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle, once said that perfect portable bike would be “like a magic carpet... You could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag". Then he paused: “But you'll always be limited by the size of the wheels. And so far no one has invented a folding wheel."
It was a rare --- indeed unique --- occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right. A 19th-century inventor, William Henry James Grout, did in fact design a folding wheel. His bike, predictably named the Grout Portable, had a frame that was divided into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces. All the bits fitted into Grout's Wonderful Bag, a leather case.
Grout's aim: to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train. Now doesn't that sound familiar? Grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel: his bike was a huge beast. And importantly, the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage: in Grout's day, tyres were solid, which made the business of dividing a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple. You couldn't do the same with a wheel fitted with a one-piece inflated(充气的) tyre.
So, in a 21st-century environment, is the idea of the folding wheel dead? It is not. A British design engineer, Duncan Fitzsimons , has developed a wheel that can be folded into something like a slender ellipse(椭圆). From beginning to end, the tyre remains inflated.
Will the young Fitzsimons's folding wheel make it into production? I have no idea. But his inventiveness shows two things. First, people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has reached its limit, except for gradual advances. It’s as silly a concept now as it was 100 years ago: there's plenty still to go for. Second, it is in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions. You can buy a folding bike for less than £1,000 that can be knocked down so small that can be carried on a plane ——minus wheels, of course ——as hand baggage.
Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible. Have we yet got the magic carpet of Andrew Ritchie's imagination? No. But it's progress.
【1】We can infer form Paragraph 1 that the Brompton folding bike____.
A.was portable
B.had a folding wheel.
C.could be put in a pocket.
D.looked like a magic carpet
【2】We can learn from the text that the wheels of the Grout Portable_______.
A.were difficult to separate.
B.could be divided into 6 pieces.
C.were fitted with solid tyres.
D.were hard to carry on a train.
【3】We can learn from the text that Fitzsimons's invention_______.
A.kept the tyres as whole piece.
B.was made into production soon.
C.left little room for improvement.
D.changed our views on bag design
29、 Facebook is a habit forming activity， but users who spend a lot of time on the site say they feel less happy with their lives.
Researchers from University of Gothenburg say that many users log in as soon as they turn their PCs on and that the behavior can develop into an“addiction”. People in low income groups and the poorly educated are particularly at risk. Up to 85% of users say that they use Facebook daily and half say they start up Facebook as soon as they open their web users. Half fear that they are not“on top of things”if they are not logged into the site, and 25% say they feel”ill at ease”if they can't log in regularly.
The Swedish survey showed the network had its dark side.“Face-booking may become an unconscious habit. A majority of the respondents(受访者) log in every time they start their web browser(浏览器). This may even develop into an addiction,” says Leif Denti, doctoral student of Psychology at the University of Gothenburg.
People with low income and low-educated individuals spend more time on Facebook. Women are generally more active than men on Facebook. Users with low income and low education use Facebook more than other groups. Within these groups，users who spend more time on Facebook also report feeling less happy and less content with their lives.
The other surprise about the network is that although a huge amount of personal “ news”is traded through the site,it tends to focus on the positive.“ Most of the content they share has something to do with major events, positive events and when feeling good,”says Leif Denti.
【1】What is the main idea of the text?
A．Using Facebook may become an addiction.
B．Positive events are more welcome on Facebook.
C．Women spend more time on Facebook than men.
D．Spending more time on Facebook leads to less happiness.
【2】What does the underlined phrase ”ill at ease” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Pleased.
B．Tired.
C．Annoyed.
D．Interested.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A．Half of the users use Facebook daily.
B．People tend to share good things on Facebook.
C．Men are more active than women on Facebook.
D．Well-educated people spend more time on Facebook.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A．A diary.

32、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible.
Audrey Hepburn was an actress and fashion icon who was born in Belgium. Hepburn was a talented performer known for her beauty, elegance and grace. During her early 20s, she studied acting and worked as a model and dancer. She also began to get some small film roles.
Audrey gained immediate fame in the U.S. with her role in Roman Holiday in 1953. This film turned out to be a great success as she won an Oscar as Best Actress. This gained her enormous popularity. She continued to fascinate audience with roles in films like Breakfast at Tiffany’s, My Fair lady, War and Peace, and Always.
Becoming famous never changed Hepburn’s generous character. She felt a deep sense of responsibility to help those in need, especially children. From 1967, after 15 years in film, Audrey acted only occasionally. She spent more time with her family and also working with UNICEF. In 1988, Audrey was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF designed to provide emergency food and healthcare to children suffering the war. She travelled representing UNICEF, making over 50 dangerous missions into bleak destinations to raise world awareness of wars and droughts.
Her passion for service was enduring. Even as her life ended at 63 years of age, she remained a gracious woman. Her spirit of social responsibility lives on in her words, “Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it’s at the end of your arm. As you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.”
