26、Traffic problems are an everyday concern in many cities, including Washington, D. C. A growing number of Washingtonians are turning to bicycles to get to and from work. In fact, the number of commuters who use bicycles has doubled in the city since 2007.
Ralph Buehler teaches urban planning at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University，popularly known as Virginia Tech. He has written a book about urban biking, called City Cycling. He says there is a reason why urban bike tiding is now becoming more popular.
“Over the last 60 to 70 years, cities in America have been adapted to the automobile.”
“Most cities took advantage of the money coming for the interstate (洲际)highway system, from the federal government, starting in 1956. There was a 90 percent federal match(补贴)so the cities only had to put up 10%. It was very tempting.(临时的).”
In the years after World War Two, many Americans moved to suburban communities, just outside major cities, They decided to travel great distances to and from work in exchange for a home in the suburbs. Their cars became a symbol of freedom.
But today, many people believe they can save money by living in the city.
Greg Billing is with the Washington Area Bicyclist Association. “When a person makes a change from using a car to using a bike, he/she is saving anywhere between 8 or$9,000 a year.”
Ralph Buehler says governments save money when people use bicycles. “Building bicycling facilities(设施) is much cheaper than building and maintaining road facilities or public transport.”
Washington, D.C has also taken steps to protect bike riders. It approved a safe passing law and created areas on the road between cars and bikes.
The United States Census Bureau says 4% of the city’s workers ride to work by bike. The only city on the East Coast with more bike commuters is New York.

28、Making an organized presentation(报告）starts with your introduction. The introduction opens your speech. It’s common for many presenters to start their talks with the sentence like "My name is...” or "Today I’m going to talk to you about...”,but this is not much of an introduction.
A good introduction in a formal（正式的) presentation must achieve three goals:
●Win the listeners’ attention.
●Make the topic and the purpose of the talk clear.
●Provide a general description of what you will cover in the talk.
Useful tips for winning listeners’ attention:
●Quote(引述）someone else. A quote is words said by someone else that is helpful to what you're going to talk about. When using a quote, you need to do two things: Mention where the words come from and connect the quote with your topic.
●Tell a joke. A touch of humor in good taste is a great way to break the ice, making people relaxed. The key is that the joke must be connected with the topic you’re going to talk about, or it will take the listeners’ attention away from your speech, making them lose interest in your presentation.
●Share a story. A short story is another clever way to start a presentation. To work, the story needs to show a key point or include a message that you can connect with the talk.
【1】To make a good introduction, you must make sure________.
A．the purpose of the talk is clear
B．the listeners are well-educated
C．your story covers all the points

29、An economist, Adam Smith, famously wrote that “it is not from the benevolence (慈善) of the butcher, the brewer or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest.” Like Smith, many economists today believe one’s self-interest is what drives competition and growth in market economies. Yet, in an increasingly interconnected society, it is even more crucial to have cooperative skills. Thus we should encourage cooperation to better prepare children for the future.
Firstly, cooperation is an especially prized soft skill in the present age. As a study proves, soft skills such as good communication and empathy (共情) indicate outstanding employees as compared to technical skills or knowledge. In contrast, extremely competitive and individualistic behavior may damage social relations in the community of co-workers. Even the most competent employee may fail to pursue his goals effectively without others’ help.
Moreover, encouraging cooperation boost children’s self-respect that better prepares them for the competitive world. Many modern societies are consumed by a crazy drive for success and the pressure to perform has infiltrated both classrooms and offices, causing higher rates of anxiety and depression among people. Teamwork can help an individual realize each has his or her own unique abilities and that another person’s strengths don’t discount his or her talents. Thus, cooperation can confirm children’s self-worth by correcting the insight that winning or paper achievement is the only measure of success.
However, critics may claim adapting to competition should be given priority in education and parenting. To achieve one’s ambitions, one has to actively fight for opportunities and distinguish oneself from others. Nevertheless, since passion can already stimulate children to fulfill their ambitions, the need to encourage competition may be at the end of the day. As much as external competition can drive people to pursue excellence, internal motivation is at least equally or even more essential, and cooperation plays an instrumental role in helping one uncover one’s motivations.
【1】What can be inferred from Adam Smith’s words?
A．Our society is increasingly interconnected.
B．Our dinner is made out of the regards to markets.
C．Self-interest pushes the development of economies.
D．The butcher, the brewer or the baker is not sympathetic.
【2】What does the underlined word “infiltrated ” mean in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Brightened.
B．Decorated.
C．Defended.
D．Entered.
【3】Which of the following might the author agree with?
A．Paper achievement is the only measure of success.
B．One’s ambitions can be achieved through cooperation.
C．Competition is not necessary for people to pursue excellence.
D．Actively fighting for distinguishing oneself should be prioritized.
【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A．To introduce the advantages of cooperation.
B．To compare cooperation with competition.
C．To suggest enhancing competitive skills.
D．To advocate teaching children to cooperate.

So why has English changed over time?【1】 all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English 【2】 in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was 【3】 more on German than the English we speak at present.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was eleven years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house that I grew up in rapidly burn to the ground. A few minutes earlier I had been sound asleep in my nice, warm bed when a scream woke me up.
My grandmother’s bedroom was just next to mine and my brother’s, A fire had broken out there and awakened her. Hearing her my older brother had sprung into action. While I stumbled around in the smoke and darkness he ran from room to room quickly waking everyone in the house. The house, however, was over 50 years old and made of wood. Before we could do anything the fire consumed it. We all barely made it outside before the flames engulfed every room. I stood there shivering while the fire destroyed my books, clothes, and toys. I watched helplessly while my Mom cried and my Dad swore. I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we had lost all of our things. As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: The things that matter, aren’t things.
I saw my older brother running across the swinging bridge by our house to get help. I saw my oldest brother who was on crutches from an earlier accident standing unsteadily on one leg. I saw my grandmother and Dad huddled together and my Mom holding our little dog in her arms.
I realized at that moment that we were all alive.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I still think of that fire in the night that helped me to become who I am today.
