26、 There was a time in the 1960’s and 1970’s when some people believed that coffee would replace tea as Britain’s favourite drink, but that did not happen, and today, tea remains Britain’s favourite drink.
To say that the British are fond of tea is something of an understatement. From the Royal(皇室的) Family down to the homeless and the out-of-work, tea is more than just a pleasure. It is an important part of life!
The popularity of tea in the United Kingdom has a long history. It was in 1657 that Thomas Garway, the owner of a coffee house, sold the first tea in London. The drink soon became popular as another choice besides coffee.
In those days, however, tea was not something for anyone. For a century and a half, it remained an expensive drink. Many bosses served a cup of it to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British tradition, the “tea break”. But as a social drink outside the workplace, tea was served for the nobility(贵族) and for the growing middle classes. Among those who had the money for tea, it became very popular as a drink to be enjoyed in cafés and “tea gardens”.
It was the 7th Duchess of Bedford who, in around 1800, started the popular “afternoon tea”, which took place at about four o’clock. At about the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread with something (e. g. jam) between them, and before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon with tea and sandwiches had become part of a way of life.
As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through British society. In working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labour. This meal has become known as “high tea”.
Today, tea can be drunk at any time of day. Most people in Britain drink tea for breakfast. The mid-morning “tea break”is an institution in British offices and factories. Later in the day, “afternoon tea” is still a way of life in the south of England and among the middle classes, while “high tea”has remained a tradition in the north of Britain.
【1】Who played an important part in the beginning of tea time in England?
A. Thomas Garway. B. The Royal Family.
C. The Earl of Sandwich. D. The Duchess of Bedford.
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A. The “tea break” kept the workers from being sleepy after lunch.
B. Workers could enjoy a cup of tea in “tea gardens”at their workplace.
C. “High tea”was usually served with the main meal for the middle classes.
D. The “afternoon tea” together with sandwiches became popular in around 1800.
【3】What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Popularity of Tea B. Tea and the British
C. Tea and the Middle Class D. The History of Tea
27、Elephants might be the most well-known and well-loved animal in African wildlife. But conservation (保护) of the African elephant still faces special difficulties. While the elephant population is half of what it was 40 years ago, some areas of Africa have more elephants than populated areas can support. That’s why AWF scientists are studying elephant behavior, protecting habitats and finding ways for humans to live peacefully with elephants in Africa.
Years ago, overhunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threats to elephants’ survival. Luckily, ivory bans (禁令), hunting rules and protected areas protect elephants from these dangers today.
The 21st century brings a different challenge to elephant conservation—land-use. Elephants walk across borders and outside parks and other protected areas. So they often destroy crops, causing conflicts (冲突) between local farmers and these big animals.
Successful conservation strategies must allow elephants to walk freely in their natural habitats while reducing conflicts between elephants and local people.
AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need. The AWF is collecting information on elephant habitats and behavior. The information they gather will help to develop the widest possible space for elephants.
The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats. And they also work with local farmers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants.
【1】The first paragraph of the text is mainly to tell readers ________.
A．African elephants are endangered now.
B．there remains a lot to do to protect African elephants.
C．African elephants are popular animals.
D．the number of African elephants has increased over the years.
【2】What is the biggest difficulty in protecting African elephants now?
A．They are still being killed.
B．Their habitats are being destroyed.
C．They don’t have enough food.
D．They can’t live in peace with farmers.
【3】To protect elephants, the AWF does all the following EXCEPT ________.
A．feeding elephants
B．protecting elephants’ habitats
C．doing research on elephants
D．helping farmers improve their life
【4】Which is TRUE according to the passage??
A．Overhunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threat to elephants’ survival.
B．AWF scientists are doing researching on farmer.
C．It’s no challenge to protect elephant conservation
D．Now African elephants are safe.
28、 Many Americans are busy preparing lists of what to give friends or loved ones. This season, people will be able to buy a cargo-carrying（载货）robot that follows them around like a dog. But it is unclear if the robot will be a popular gift.
Large companies like Amazon, FedEx and Ford have already been experimenting with sending delivery robots to homes across the United States. Now an Italian company is offering robots directly to consumers（顾客）. The new robot, called "the Gita", weighs about 23 kilograms and costs $ 3,250.
The robot's creators had short trips in mind when they designed it. "The Gita" is a "hands-free carrier" that can hold fruits, vegetables and other things as it follows its owner down the street. "The Gita" does not require use of a telephone；it also does not use GPS technology or facial recognition.
Whether the robot will be a success is not yet clear. Tech experts say "the Gita" may fail. They hope the company finds more purposes to contribute to its success. Examples include carrying tools around hospitals, factory floors or places where products are stored. The robots can carry up to 9 kilograms. So far, the best places to find the company's six-wheeled robot are US colleges：The University of Houston and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Sadie Garcia is a student at the University of Houston. "I love them. I think they're so cute," she said, as one of the machines arrived carrying a sandwich for her in the dining hall. Garcia said she was so cold that she did not want to leave her room. Starship co-founder Ahti Heinla said his company once thought about selling the machines directly to consumers. But the business dropped the idea after discovering it would have to sell them for more than $ 3,000 each.
【1】What is "the Gita" designed to do?
A.Fight with other robots. B.Buy things for its owner.
C.Carry things for its owner. D.Help college students do homework.
【2】What do tech experts expect the company to do for "the Gita"?
A.Keep advertising it. B.Find more uses for it.
C.Improve its reaction rate. D.Encourage hospitals to use it.
【3】What stops "the Gita" from being sold directly to consumers?
A.The high price. B.The low quality.
C.The limited number. D.The poor performance.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A detective story. B.A science magazine.
C.A travel guide. D.A life diary.
29、 As William Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. “We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” said Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu, China’s Greatest Poet, a new BBC documentary(纪录片) broadcast on April 7.
Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited famous British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard(巫师) Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings, to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English.
The one-hour film talks about the poet’s life experiences in detail. Born in 712, Du lived under the government of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong (713-756), a time marked by extraordinary prosperity(繁荣), inclusiveness (包容) and cultural achievement. However, as the An Lushan Rebellion of 755 broke out in the country, Du, the former civil servant(文职人员) at the Tang court, had to take his family on the road as refugees(难民), and put up with starvation and suffering. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1,500 poems have been kept over the ages.
“Chinese people really value the recording of history and Du is better than anyone at reflecting(反映) history in his poetry. That’s because historical events are mirrored in his own life and spiritual journey,” Zeng Xiangbo, a professor of ancient Chinese literature at Renmin University of China, told China Daily.
Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed By Autumn Gales , he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I’d house all scholars poor and make them beam with smiles. ” “That’s why he was honored as a Poet Sage by later generations. A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces,” Shi Wenxue, a cultural critic based in Beijing, told the Global Times.
【1】According to Para.2, we know Ian McKellen is___________.
A.a narrator in the documentary B.a big fan of Du Fu
C.the director of the documentary D.a British wizard
【2】Why Du Fu is so valuable a poet in the mind of Chinese people?
A.Because he experienced the ups and downs of Tang Dynasty.
B.Because he never stopped and wrote about 1,500 poems.
C.Because his poems are completely kept over the ages.
D.Because his poetry is a good reflection of history.
【3】The poem mentioned in the last paragraph is intended to _________.
A.explain Du Fu’s position in the government
B.show Du Fu’s concern about ordinary people
C.tell the readers what a difficult life Du Fu lived
D.show Du Fu’s intelligence in writing a poem
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Du Fu’s works gain popularity home and abroad.
B.Chinese literature becomes a hit in the UK.
C.China’s Poet Sage appears on the screen in the UK.
D.British people fall in love with Chinese poetry.

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.
