26、Free Wi-Fi has become incredibly important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service.
Even when people are traveling, they scan for free Wi-Fi, which, according to research released by London’s Amba Hotel on Dec 4, has become the most important standard for selecting a hotel.
According to the survey, as many as 67 percent of travelers questioned said that free Wi-Fi would make them more likely to choose accommodation, above other things such as the hotel’s location and friendly staff. When rating a hotel that they’d already stayed in, six in ten travelers believed that unlimited Wi-Fi was the most important factor in their rating.
“Today, people treat their smartphones, tablets and laptops like clothes when they are about to travel to some places. They will never forget to pack it into the suitcase,” said the Daily Mail. “We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when traveling –– especially when it comes to checking social media, searching for travel tips, and accessing websites.”
However, despite the opportunities that free Wi-Fi gives us, “our over-reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media”, said Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide brand.
Anita Isalska, Lonely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug when she was stuck in an isolated (隔绝的) camp in Greenland recently. “Adjusting to this slower pace, it began to dawn on me: somewhere, somehow, social media had changed into a reflex (条件反射),” she wrote. “I had believed I was capturing moments, but in reality my busy thumbs were preventing me from enjoying travel’s most profound pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or meadow (草地) of wildflowers when your brain is subconsciously (潜意识地) selecting the right photo filter (滤镜), or the perfect six seconds to film?”
In September, the brand released 10 predictions for the future of global travel. One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future, so remote hotels will start to make their lack of Internet into a feature. Would you like to have an unplugged holiday?
【1】What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?
A.To argue against people’s over-reliance on Wi-Fi.
B.To predict what global travel will be like in the future.
C.To protest against travelers’ standard when selecting a hotel.
D.To stress the growing importance of free Wi-Fi in daily lives.
【2】Why do travelers attach importance to free Wi-Fi when selecting a hotel?
A.They believe hotels with free Wi-Fi usually have better locations.
B.They think hotels with free Wi-Fi are likely to provide better service.
C.They depend on free Wi-Fi to check social media and access websites.
D.They hope to enjoy more profound pleasures while using free Wi-Fi.
【3】What does the underlined word “unplug” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Check social media.
B.Call off a travelling plan.
C.Appreciate beautiful scenery.
D.Disconnect from digital devices.
【4】What is the lesson Anita Isalska learned from the isolated camp she attended in Greenland recently?
A.Travelers should adapt to a slower pace when checking social media.
B.Addiction to social media has negatively affected the quality of travel.
C.Travelers should take more photos and videos during their journeys.
D.Beautiful scenery could be appreciated better if films are shot cautiously.
27、 Cats communicate a variety of messages using cat body language. Examples include arching (弓起) their backs as a signal of fear or attack, and slowly blinking (眨) their eyes to signal relaxation. Mouth open and no teeth showed suggests a feeling of playfulness. A cat which chooses to lie on its back shows happiness, trust and comfort. Cats show dissatisfaction by moving their ears back, equal to a human frown.
As is the case with dogs, a twitching (抽动) tail can mean a little anger while a tail held high suggests confidence. Cats will twitch their tails when hunting or angry, while larger twitching suggests displeasure. They may also twitch their tails when playing. A tail held high is a sign of happiness, or can be used as a greeting towards humans or other cats (usually close relatives) while half-raised shows less pleasure, and unhappiness is expressed with a tail held low.
Some characteristic signals, however, are often misunderstood. It is important to keep in mind that each cat may show its feelings with different body language. For instance, a cat rubbing its body along an arm or leg of its owner is not only a way in which to attract attention and, perhaps, a way to ask for food; it is also a way of “marking” its owner as its own. Usually a cat with its tail held high and twitching shows excitement, but this is often mistaken for anger.
Many people fail or are too slow to understand the silent body language of cats. And they may have the false impression that cats are cold-hearted, unfaithful or not clever. To understand cats, people must observe a cat closely and learn what its body signals tell them.
【1】Which cat body language shows that a cat is relaxed?
A.Lying on its stomach. B.Blinking its eyes slowly.
C.Holding its tail high. D.Moving its ears back.
【2】According to the passage, a cat will twitch its tail EXCEPT ____.
A.when it feels sleepy B.when it is hunting
C.when it feels angry D.when it is playing
【3】How many meanings does a cat’s rubbing its body along its owner have?
A.2. B.3. C.4. D.5.
【4】The last paragraph intends to tell us ____.
A.many people often have wrong opinions on cats
B.it is not easy to understand cats’ body language
C.every cat has its own special body language
D.we should learn more about cats’ body language
28、 On Thursday night my two adult children took us out to dinner as our daughter lives in Bathurst and she will be there for Father’s Day with her husband’s side of the family. Two of our grandchildren were able to join us.
Having pre-celebrated my Father’s Day and it being on our minds, my wife asked this question only this morning:
“Do you remember anything about your father?”
While this subject had come up before, however, the question had not been put so bluntly(直率的). I answered “No. My only memory is of the few photos outside.” You see, my father died when I was only four years old.
Many people have lost their father early in life and it is easy to feel somewhat sorry for having to deal with such a situation, especially when the death has occurred when you are at an early age. On reflection, I think I do not remember anything because he passed away when he was a member of the Royal Australian Air Force. He was a Corporal(下士) doing land based duties, however, a medical condition took his life. It was 1942.
The 2nd World War was in full battle and Australia was being attacked. My Mum and I, with my younger brother, were living with my grandparents and I can only imagine the emotional circumstances that existed in the household at that time. Probably not something that would leave a memory.
What I would like to say at this time, as the question is often asked, “What did you learn from your father?” The thing I learnt from his passing, at the age of 28, is a love of life. What I do remember is growing up wondering if I would live to his age, and after I did, thinking each year the bonus(津贴) of life I had been blessed with when compared to my father.
I have sometimes felt disappointment in not knowing my father but life has moved on. However, can I say to those who do have fathers, celebrate today with him and return him all the love and happiness he has given to you.
【1】Why did the author answered “No” in Para 4?
A. He didn’t want to talk about his father. B. His father died when he was very young.
C. He was much disappointed in his father. D. There was no photo of his father left.
【2】What do we know about the author?
A. He is the only child of his parents. B. His father died of a medical condition.
C. He remembered quite a lot about his father. D. He lived with his parents during World War II.
【3】The father’s passing makes the author____.
A. realize the love of his own life. B. hope to live longer than his father.
C. feel very disappointed all the time. D. want to get more bonus from life.
【4】What is the author mainly talking about in this passage?
A. His father’s life. B. His Father’s Day.
C. His fatherless childhood. D. His father’s influence.
29、The Chinese women’s soccer team won back their famous fighting spirit to end a 16-year wait to lift the Asian Cup. Having fallen behind 2-0 in the final in Navi Mumbai, India, on the night of February 6, 2022, the team determined to battle back and tied (打平) the game before Xiao Yuyi fired home a dramatic 93rd-minute goal from Wang Shanshan’s help to secure the title.
The victory earned China a record ninth Asian Cup title, which compensated for their disappointing performance at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. China’s Tokyo 2020 participation ended with a shocking 8-2 defeat (击败) at the hands of the Netherlands, showing just how far Chinese women’s soccer had fallen behind the game’s elite (精英的) nations. The huge turnaround in fortunes made the win extra special for fans.
“Although the players come from different cities, we need to come together. We never let our heads drop when we were 0-2 down. The players overcame both their competitors and themselves,” said the head coach Shui Qingxia.
The Steel Roses’ victory completely controlled discussion on Chinese social media. The topic “Chinese women’s team wins Asian Cup” was viewed over 1.1 billion times by February 7, but that was just one of 10 top topics related to the women’s team on Weibo. Countless thrilled people commented that “The whole team is worthy of every praise.” After their victory, media and experts urged (催促) for greater support for the development of the women’s game. A number of Chinese companies have already taken actions to reward them, with dairy giant Mengniu Group gifting the team 10 million yuan after its heroics.
Now the work is to continue to regain past glories, as well as improve the standard of the domestic leagues and youth training to give the country a better chance of producing more great players. This victory certainly showed that such goals can be realized. The women’s soccer team has great spirit and skill. They are our role models!
