26、 There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee(担任考试委员会主席), the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.
The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned to(结果是)be OK.
Then the professor asked about the cure (药剂) for illness, and the student, too, answered just as right.
“Good,” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?”
“A full spoon”, answered the student.
“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.”, said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “ A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr Professor, I’ve make a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops.”
“I’m sorry, sir.” Said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.”

28、 Although fires are still a danger in every major city today, they were a much more serious problem in earlier centuries. The historic Fire of London was a serious example of the damage fire can cause. Finally, however, this disaster also positively affected the city.
In 1666, the Great Fire of London burned out of control for three days, destroying most of the central district of the city. The disaster caused a huge amount of damage — around seventy thousand people lost their homes. At the time, there were only about eighty thousand living in the city. There are no accurate records of how many people died in the fire because the worst damage happened in poor neighborhoods. Unfortunately, the government didn’t record the deaths of poor people in those early times.
When the fire happened, people in London were already struggling to survive a large plague (瘟疫) outbreak that had begun in 1665. London’s housing troubles were a major cause of the problem. At the time, much of central London consisted of closely packed and poorly made wooden buildings. This created an unhealthy environment because germs travelled freely from home to home. In addition, the buildings were on narrow, dirty streets where people threw their garbage. Rats were attracted by the garbage, and they brought fleas (跳蚤) — the carriers of the plague. Once people caught the plague from flea bites, the disease spread rapidly throughout the city especially in the cramped central district. It was in these terrible conditions that the Great Fire raged through London.
Despite the damage, the fire had a positive effect because it destroyed the old, poorly made wooden buildings. It also killed most of the rats and fleas, which slowed the spread of the plague. After the fire, the government rebuilt the damaged areas. Whenever possible, they used brick or stone. Thus, the new houses were much more solid and more difficult for rats to enter. Widened streets and improved garbage collection also helped to stop the disease from spreading from person to person because there was simply more room to walk.
【1】Which of the following is TRUE about fires in the past?
A.They mainly happened in large cities.
B.They always had some positive effects.
C.They caused small amounts of damage.
D.They were more dangerous than fires today.
【2】Why are there no accurate death records of the fire?
A.The numbers were beyond counting.
B.The government intended to hide the facts.
C.The records were destroyed in another fire.
D.The deaths of poor people were unrecorded.
【3】What does the underlined word “cramped” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Ancient.
B.Crowded.
C.Damaged.
D.Popular.
【4】Why did the government rebuild the city with brick and stone after the fire?
A.To reduce building costs.
B.To make houses stronger.
C.To keep fleas out of the city.
D.To stop the plague spreading.
29、Have you ever felt that you were just studying to pass a test? Today, many schools and companies around the world use standardized tests to measure students’ abilities.【1】
The first type of test is the achievement test. This is used at the end of a term, for example, to evaluate how much students have learned about a subject. Another commonly used test is the aptitude test (能力测试)【2】. It is often used to predict how well students might do in the future. An aptitude test might measure verbal language skills, creativity in art subjects, or clerical skills such as typing.
In many educational systems throughout the world, students take regular multiple-choice achievement tests. 【3】.Many advocates of this type of traditional evaluation believe that students learn best and increase their knowledge by memorizing facts and information. Many supporters of this way of learning also believe that teaching students to pass a test teaches them discipline and prepares them for the working world.
【4】It can only measure some of a student's ability. They realize that many students, though intelligent,are not always good at taking tests or at memorization. This makes it harder for them to achieve passing grades. In addition,factors such as how a person feels on the day of a test can also affect his or her score. 【5】
A.This kind of test measures students’ ability to learn.
B.These are two types of tests that are commonly used.
C.They have to pass these tests to move to a higher level.
D.Only a test cannot tell us how they may do in the future.

32、Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the following passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
It’s always exciting to think about the future and what kind of technology might exist in years to come. But what if that future is closer than you think?
The name Magic Leap is starting to spread across the Internet. The Magic Leap technology company in the US has been working on something new and exciting, keeping it so secret that even the people working on the project have been hidden from the media. But recently they have started to release more information, and the future of computing seems to change dramatically.
Magic Leap’s preview shows the possibility of a classroom where you can interact with a miniature 3D man and watch animals floating in front of your eyes. You could come face to face with fierce creatures like tigers and sharks, and more might be possible very soon.
The company hopes to create new technology that mixes reality and virtual reality computing. This means that the way we interact with computers could change completely and so could the gaming industry. Imagine a game in which you can not only look after a dragon on a screen, but also see it walking around your home, feed it and play with it. This is a world where movies will make you jump as things come flying at you. Rio Caraeff, the company’s chief content officer, said that instead of staring at a phone screen, “the world becomes your screen”.
All of this could be the next step for Magic Leap, and their newly-released video suggests so. The video shows a small elephant floating in the hands of its user, a virtual reality pet that the user can interact with.
It seems that the excitement has inspired other companies who are lining up to join in on this new project. The technology, called Cinematic Reality, is attracting the attention of large companies like Google, who are already investing large sums of money in the project hoping to see it become a reality.
