26、 Sometimes two very different individuals become the best friends. For example, who could have thought that a spider (蜘蛛) would become friends with a pig? But in American writer E. B. White’s novel Charlotte’s Web, this is exactly what happens.
Wilbur the pig grows up in a barn (牲口棚) and makes many friends, including a spider called Charlotte. One day a sheep tells Wilbur that he will finally be served up as dinner. But Charlotte decides to save her friend. To help Wilbur, Charlotte writes words like “terrific” “radiant (喜悦的)” and “humble (谦逊的)” on her web to praise Wilbur. This makes the farmer believe that he is too important to kill. Wilbur is saved, but Charlotte is so tired that she dies.
The book was first published in 1952. In over 60 years Charlotte has become one of the most famous spiders of all time. She teaches us about love and promise. “She is very, very loving under that ugly look,” said Peter F. Neumeyer, writer of The Annotated Charlotte’s Web.
The book’s success drew the attention of Hollywood film-makers. However, they wanted a happy ending. White was strongly against this idea and as a result the film, like the book, ends with Charlotte’s death.
Jen Doll, a reporter of The Atlantic, believes that “death is part of life”. She says this is one of the main messages of the book.
As Charlotte tells Wilbur, “You have been my friend. That in itself is a wonderful thing. I wove (织) my webs for you because I like you. After all, what’s a life, anyway? We’re born, we live a little while and then we die. A spider’s life can’t help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a little. God knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that.”
【1】Which of the following about the story is TRUE?
A.It’s a good example of how different creatures live in peace.
B.Though ugly, Charlotte is loving and helpful.
C.It encourages children to love their family and friends.
D.The farmer kills Wilbur as dinner.
【2】Hollywood film-makers and White didn’t agree on _______.
A.the fate of Wilbur.
B.how to close story.
C.who was to play Charlotte.
D.the way Charlotte makes friends with Wilbur.
【3】In the last paragraph, Charlotte’s main message is that _______.
A.life is like a web
B.friendship is more important than life
C.life could be boring and troublesome
D.dying for a good cause is worthwhile
27、Everybody is talking about the bridge. I mean the world’s longest sea-crossing bridge. And it is widely reported by ABC, New York Times and also Wikipedia. By the way, what's the name of it? It's Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB).
Though HZMB took over 9 years to construct, the 55-kilometer-long bridge has a service life of 120 years. It consists of the 12km Hong Kong Link Road. 29.6km Main Bridge and 13 4km Zhuhai Link Road. It also includes the world’s deepest underwater part at a length of 6.7km, which connects two man-made islands.
The HZMB construction environment is complicated. Frequent typhoons, airport height limitation, high environmental standards, etc, should be taken into consideration. That is why this bridge gets the world’s attention. However, the bridge and tunnel system across the Lingdingyang waters of the Pearl River Estuary will cut the traveling time between Hong Kong and Zhuhai or Macao from three hours to about 30 minutes. Most people will take a bus to make the journey. The buses will cost 8 to 10 dollars for a single trip.
After the bridge opens, the traveling costs for taking a detour through the land routes can be avoided. Therefore, the bridge will help to make use of the distribution of industries, raise the competetiveness the region, and benefit logistics (物流) and tourism. The project is believed to lay a good foundation for the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which is considered a new highlight in China’s economy.
【1】Why has the bridge drawn so much attention?
A．Because it s the longest bridge in China.
B．Because it s been in service for 120 years.
C．Because its construction is extremely difficult.
D．Because it connects three man-made islands.
【2】How does the bridge help people according to the text?
A．By controlling local industry.
B．By attracting tourists overseas.
C．By offering a cleaner environment.
D．By reducing traveling time and costs.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．A Green Bridge
B．A Tour Through HZMB
C．The Main Bridge of HZMB
D．The Longest Sea-crossing Bridge
28、How Kids Express Gratitude
Taking time as a family to practice gratitude doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming and the benefits your children will get are profound. Today we’ll be discussing ideas to help your children express their gratitude.
Make a gratitude tree. Start with a large piece of craft paper and draw a tree trunk. 【1】Each day ask your kids to think of something they’re thankful for, write it on a leaf and tape it to the tree trunk.
Go grocery shopping for a family in need. Many stores now offer premade bags to donate right at the checkout line. While this is convenient, the larger the role they play in the act of giving, the bigger the effect it will have on your kids. 【2】
Express your thankfulness for the ones you love. 【3】Print the photos in a 5＂× 7＂ size and ask the kids to write a short note on the back explaining why they’re grateful to that person. Family members, especially those who don’t live nearby, will cherish the present.
Volunteer together. Pick a regular time, maybe one Saturday a month, and volunteer together as a family. 【4】One child may want to spend a day helping to clean up their favorite park while another might want to read books to nursing home residents.
【5】A regular gratitude practice is a wonderful habit to instill(逐渐灌输) into your children. In fact, studies have shown that people who feel gratitude on a daily basis are happier in general.

29、A shocking 53.6 million tons of electronic waste were discarded（丢弃）last year, a new UN-backed report has revealed. The report shows that e-waste is up 21%from five years ago. This isn't surprising, considering how many more people are adopting new technology and updating devices regularly to have the latest versions, but the report also shows that national collection and recycling strategies are nowhere close to matching consumption rates.
E-waste contains materials including copper（铜）, iron, gold and silver, which the report gives a conservative value of $ 57 billion. But most are thrown away or burned rather than being collected for recycling. Precious metals in waste are estimated to be worth $ 14 billion, but only $4 billion-worth is recovered at the moment.
While the number of countries with national e-waste policies has grown from 61 to 78 since 2014, there is little encouragement to obey and a mere 17% of collected items are recycled. If recycling does occur, it's often under dangerous conditions, such as burning circuit boards to recover copper, which "releases highly poisonous metals" and harms the health of workers.
The report found that Asia has the highest amounts of waste overall, producing 24.9 million metric tons (MMT), followed by Europe at 12 MMT, Africa at 2.9 MMT, and Oceania at 0.7 MMT.
But whose responsibility is it? Are governments in charge of setting up collection and recycling points, or should companies be responsible for recycling the goods they produce? It goes both ways. Companies do need to be held accountable by government regulations and have incentives to design products that are easily repaired. At the same time, governments need to make it easy for citizens to access collection points and deal with their broken electronics in a convenient way. Otherwise, they may turn to the easiest option-the landfill.
【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A．What e-waste refers to.
B．Where e-waste is collected.
C．Why e-waste is increasing rapidly.
D．How many kinds e-waste includes.
【2】What do the statistics in paragraph 2 show?
A．The functions of policies.
B．The great damage to environment.
C．The change of consumption rates.
D．The urgency of recovering e-waste.
【3】What is the problem with recycling e-waste at present?
A．It does harm to the workers' health.
B．It lacks national policy support.
C．It hardly makes profits.
D．It takes too much time.
【4】How should the problem be solved according to the passage?
A．New technology should be used to update old devices.
B．Governments and companies should take responsibilities.
C．Non-poisonous metals had better be used in e-device.
D．Citizens must play a key role in recycling e-waste.
30、 I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such an attractive, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some _______ ideas about the nature of happiness.

The way people stick to the ________ that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually ________ their chances of ever obtaining real happiness.

But, ________, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness ________ some pain.

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music
It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”
But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团) ?
A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.
We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.
But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.
They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.
Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.
【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的) experiences can transform people.
