26、 For a long time, the smartwatch industry had just a few big companies that could set any prices they wanted and kept cheating customers. But now one new tech company is turning the $5 billion smartwatch industry on its head. The company called OshenWatch has found a way to offer a far advanced product at a part of the original price.
Let’s meet the OshenWatch. OshenWatch combines the functions of a fitness band （手环）， digital watch, and health monitor all into one. It feels comfortable to wear. Even better than some of the expensive smartwatches I own from other big tech companies. Extreme indoor and outdoor sports? No problem, the hardened aluminum shell （铝壳）and the lowered-temperature touchscreen glass won't break easily even if you tried.
In my opinion, the OshenWatch is the next generation of smartwatches. Take calls, sleep monitoring, show incoming messages, etc…The watch has all the basic functions that a good smartwatch must have and much more.
What makes the OshenWatch so popular? The green laser （激光）behind the watch is the secret! It is the heart rate monitoring function. This watch lets you measure your blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen level, calculate your beats per minute. Give you extremely important time to catch problems early, and seek medical help before it's too late.
This is the reason why the OshenWatch will be the best-selling smartwatch of 2020. No other watch is that advanced. It could actually save your life one day!
【1】What is the advantage of the OshenWatch?
A.Its price is the lowest. B.It has various functions.
C.It is made of aluminum. D.It can lower the temperature.
【2】Which of the following can be measured by the OshenWatch?
①blood pressure②blood sugar level ③heart rate ④blood oxygen level
⑤eye pressure
A.①③④ B.②③④ C.①②⑤ D.②③⑤
【3】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A diary. B.A guidebook. C.A novel. D.A magazine.
27、What to endure before publication?
It takes a lot to write a novel. Even those who haven’t tried would say, “Well, duh!” to this. But it’s not much the mind space or the considerable time it takes to write a novel that is as discouraging as how many times any writer must go back to the drawing board for yet another draft. To really ready a novel for publication, a writer must spend time with his or her book. Like any promising relationship, you, the writer, must date your novel, take it out to dinner, meet its parents, and see it through its most trying and desperate times. As a writer, you have to stay up all night with your novel crying and talking and sometimes even pulling your hair out before that perfect moment of inspiration can truly help you cross the finish line.
For many published authors I know, myself included, a completed novel takes them about 10, that’s right, 10 drafts, and at least a year of real editing. Will you be spending every single second editing your novel? No, of course not. Just as drafts need some real time on the surgery table, they also need rest in the recovery room. You don’t nurse a relationship by spending every waking second with them until you can’t stand the sight of each other, and you can’t produce a novel by breathing down its literary neck. However, a novel should undergo many drafts — and different kinds of drafts — before declaring it ready for an agent or editor to see.
Everyone has their own way to write a novel, and not all craft advice (or even craft “rules”）should all be followed by everyone, but when it comes to the many drafts of a novel, there are specific things a writer should focus on during each revision to help create a smooth transition from the initial idea to final products.
【1】People are discouraged from writing a novel mainly because it requires ______.
A．a good publisher
B．too much thinking
C．tons of working time
D．frequent revisions
【2】By “breathing down its literary neck” in Paragraph 2, the author most probably means ______.
A．writing casually thus failing to take readers’ breath away
B．letting go a single mistake thus annoying the readers
C．X-raying the work thus finding each literary mistake
D．sticking too close to the work thus causing anxiety
【3】Which of the following is most likely to come after the last paragraph?
A．The importance of using proper transitional words in writing.
B．The writing experience shared by famous successful write.
C．Tips on how to make ten drafts to complete a good novel.
D．Setbacks writers may suffer if ignoring the craft advice.
28、 Who are the top ten people in your life? Do they know they are important to you? The following are things you can do to cherish (珍惜) life and the people in your life.
【1】 A couple of months ago my grandchildren planned on coming to Arizona for a week's visit. I decided I would fly to Detroit, rent a car and fly back with them. 1 cherish my grandchildren.
Tell the people in your life how you feel about them. If it doesn't come natural to you, do it often. 【2】 Of course, “I love you” is what everyone wants to hear. Other phrases are, “I'm happy to see you. I care about you. You mean so much to me. 1 think of you often.” Everyone has three things in common: They need to receive love, give love and know that they matter. Tell people they matter!
Become grateful. If you have friends and family, you are blessed. Share your gratitude with them. 【3】 In the world of texting and email, receiving a card is a rare treat.
Don't hide yourself from others. Let your light shine. Be yourself. 【4】 Real people are attractive people. The world needs the unique you, not a scaled-down (缩小比例的) version of you.
Cherish yourself. Tell yourself how important you are and stop self-hatred. 【5】 Treat yourself to concerts.
The world would be a happier place if we all practiced cherishing. It would be a more loving place as well.
A.Do nice things for yourself.
B.You will begin to feel natural soon.
C.Surround yourself with memories.
D.Surprise them with a card in the mail.
E.Don't waste time on unimportant things.
F.Spend time with your friends and family.
G.Learn to feel good about yourself and respect who you are.
29、A few weeks ago I paid a visit to the UK. The moment I reached Heathrow airport, I was attracted by all the language differences between American and British English. Instead of reading “exit”, the signs read “way out”. The announcer said “alight” instead of “get off” the plane.
My first stop in the UK was the British museum and I was particularly interested in Room 41. In that room, I saw the oldest sentence ever found written in Old English. Archeologists (考古学家) believe it is from between 450 and 480 AD.
The next stop was Westminster Abbey. At the Poets’ Corner I saw graves of famous writers, such as Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Samuel Johnson. The list can go on and on. Another thing on the Abbey grounds that you should not miss is a colorful glass window in St. Margaret’s Church, as you walk up to the Abbey. The window, about halfway up the left side of the church, honors William Caxton. He was the first person to bring the printing press to England and set up his printing business near the Abbey, probably because he was likely to get work from the government offices in the area. Caxton may not be as well-known as the writers in Poets’ Corner, but he played a very important part in standardizing English.
My final stop was the Tower of London, which was the symbol of power of the people who changed English. This castle was built by William the Conqueror after he defeated King Harold II in the Battle of Hastings during the Norman Invasion in 1066. After the Normans took over England, the official language became French for hundreds of years, and this was the time when many French words entered the English language especially words related to upper-class life such as words about government and cooking.
So that was my trip.
【1】Where did the author see the oldest written form of English?
A．At the Heathrow airport.
B．In the British museum.
C．At the Westminster Abbey.
D．In the St. Margaret’s Church.
【2】What did the author say about William Caxton?
A．He was one of the greatest British poets.
B．He was buried in St. Margaret’s Church.
C．He once worked in the government office.
D．He helped to standardize the British English.
【3】What can be learned from paragraph 4?
A．English borrowed many words from French.
B．The Norman Invasion was led by King Harold II .
C．French has become the official language since 1066.
D．The Tower of London was built before the Norman Invasion.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．A Language Lover’s Trip to the UK
B．The Famous Attractions in London
C．A Brief Introduction to British History
D．The Differences Between the US and Britain

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is already well under way.
For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers（探测器）, 【1】 increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the 【2】 of Martian resources, including oxygen.
Building on the robotic legacy（遗产）, the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds（门槛）, each with 【3】 challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.
Earth Reliant explorations is 【4】 on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world - class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of time, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronauts' health.
Next, we move into the Proving Ground, 【5】 a series of missions near the moon called “cislunar space” to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) 【6】 stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.
Also in the 2020s, we’ll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our 【7】 for Mars.
Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge 【8】 on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.
This phase will also test the entry, descent（降落）and landing techniques needed to get to the Martin surface and study what's needed for in-situ resource utilization or "living off the land". NASA is already studying the 【9】 "Exploration Zones" on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.
There are challenges to 【10】 Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.
