26、Katherine Rooks, a Denver-based writer, had sent her son a text message about coming home from school. “I could tell from his response that he became upset suddenly in our thread. And when he came home, he came over and said, ‘What did you mean by this?’” Rooks was confused. “So we looked at the text together and I said, ‘Well, I meant, see you later, or something. I don’t remember exactly what it said.’” And he said, “But you ended with a full stop! I thought you were really angry!” Rooks wasn’t angry, and she explained to her son that, well, periods are how you end a sentence.
But in text-messaging — at least for younger adult — periods do more than just end a sentence: they also can set a tone. Gretchen McCulloch, a linguist, said that when it comes to text-messaging, the period has lost its original purpose. But that doesn’t mean the period has lost all the purposes in text-messaging. Now it can be used to indicate seriousness or a sense of finality. “But caution is needed,” said McCulloch, noting that problems can start to arise when you combine a period with a positive emotion, like “sure” or “sounds good”.
A period can accidentally set a tone. A recent study conducted by Binghamton University psychology professor Celia Klin confirmed this. Researchers asked undergraduates to evaluate a text exchange that included an innocent question and the answer “Yes”. Some saw “Yes” with a period and some saw the word without. They found consistently through many experiments that “Yes” with a period resulted in responses that were more negative. So people thought “Yes” with a period was less friendly, less sincere, and so on.“I really don’t like getting text messages that end in periods because it always feels so passive-aggressive,” said Juan Abenante Rincon, 24, a social media manager for Adidas. “Like, are you mad? What’s going on? Like, did I do something wrong?”
Klin said this demonstrates language is constantly changing. “Language evolution has happened; it’ll continue to happen, and isn’t it great that we’re so linguistically flexible and creative?”
【1】Why does the text begin with Katherine’s conflict with her son?
A．To lead in the use of period in texting.
B．To emphasize the great power of words.
C．To show youngsters’ attitudes towards texting.
D．To suggest the right use of punctuation marks.
【2】Why is Juan Abenante Rincon mentioned in the text?
A．To make assessments on the recent study.
B．To confirm the findings of the recent study.
C．To put forward doubts about the recent study.
D．To show great opposition for the recent study.
【3】What is Celia Klin’s attitude towards the changes in the meanings of full stops?
A．Disapproving.
B．Conservative.
C．Worried.
D．Positive.
【4】What can be the suitable title of the passage?
A．Full Stops: Be Original
B．Full Stops: Be Cautious
C．Language Evolution: Be Flexible

27、In times of stress, particularly when the water gets too warm, the coral(珊瑚)erupts the algae(海藻), and the coral turns white, causing a state called coral bleaching(漂白). Just a few degrees of heat can lead to coral bleaching, putting the coral on a path to starvation and death.
Driven by climate change, marine heat waves are becoming one of the greatest threats to the existence of coral, which is important to the ocean ecology. But in some rare good news researchers have discovered coral can recover from bleaching even before a heat wave ends, suggesting it has the potential to survive long heat waves. Coral was thought to survive only if a heat wave lasted just a few weeks.
But no one had studied this process during a longer heat wave. Then in 2015, Julia Baum, a marine ecologist at the University of Victoria, began a survey of two common species: brain and star coral around Kiritimati in the central Pacific Ocean. They checked the condition of the coral as the heat wave struck and disappeared.
Starting in May 2015, the temperature rose about 1 ℃ within 2 months. As expected, coral that housed heat-sensitive algae bleached sooner than those housing the heat-tolerant kind of algae. As the water continued to warm, even heat-tolerant algae erupted.
Many brain and star coral on Kiritimati recovered from bleaching while the water was still unusually warm. Baum said, "The unexpected recovery provides new hope, because it means that even under lasting heat waves, there's a path forward for some of them."
An unusual feature of the recovery is that brain coral that started out with heat-sensitive algae had a higher survival rate(82%)than coral that began with heat-tolerant algae(25%). "That finding is surprising," said Baum, expecting that heat-tolerant algae would be better suited for helping coral survive a heat wave. But during a longer heat wave, it might be more advantageous to start with a heat-sensitive algae.
【1】What results in coral bleaching?
A．The white algae.
B．The coral's death.
C．An attack of waves.
D．A rise in ocean temperature.
【2】Why did Baum begin the survey?
A．To prove that coral can stop climate change.
B．To study how coral bleaching comes about.
C．To figure out whether coral survives long heat waves
D．To explain why coral bleaching is a big threat to coral
【3】How did Baum feel about the finding?
A．Ashamed.
B．Confused
C．Worried.
D．Astonished.
【4】What can the finding be used to do?
A．Protect the ocean environment.
B．Reduce coral bleaching.
C．Grow more different algae.
D．Regulate the heat wave.
28、One day I got in a taxi, and we left for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when, suddenly, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stopped his car at once. The tire made a very loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.
I was frightened. But then I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head and started yelling at us. I couldn’t believe it! But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost sent us to hospital.”
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, “The Law of the Rubbish Truck.” He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of rubbish, full of anger. As their rubbish piles up, they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes they’ll throw it at you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their rubbish and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.
Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods. Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love those who love you and pray for those who don’t.
【1】What does the underline word “yelling” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Apologizing.
B．Smiling.
C．Shouting.
D．Crying.
【2】Why did the guy get angry so easily?
A．Because he was in a bad mood.
B．Because his car was full of rubbish.
C．Because he was badly hurt by the taxi.
D．Because the taxi driver didn’t say sorry to him.
【3】Which of the following best describes the taxi driver?
A．Silly and dishonest.
B．Wise and friendly.
C．Helpful but nervous.
D．Modest but impatient.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Smiling: The Key to Solid Friendship
B．Silence: The Key to Unexpected Accident
C．Action: The Key to Success
D．Attitude: The Key to Happiness
29、 As one of the mostwatched programs in China, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala has been an integral part of the Chinese New Year celebrations. From the television era to the digital age, people's expectations always run high for the event.
Having a big family dinner with relatives on the eve is a must for New Year celebrations for almost every family. The annual Spring Festival Gala usually lasts over four hours, just in time when the Chinese people gather to have their festive dinner. Featuring musicals, dances, comic skits and dramas, the gala is aimed at entertaining viewers of all ages.
This year, more than 621.4 million people in China and another 24.8 million overseas watched the show on television, while a number of viewers—527 million—watched it on new media platforms: apps, websites, videostreaming sites and social media.
The first CCTV Spring Festival Gala was live broadcast via television on February 12, 1983. However, not all Chinese people had a chance to watch the show at home as nearly 80 percent of families did not possess their own TV set. In 1983, the director of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala set four telephones backstage so viewers could ask the actors to perform the requested items. As the ondemand calls were so popular, the lines would literally be overheated, causing staff members to stand by with a fire extinguisher ready to put out any possible fire.
The gala traditionally concludes with the song “Can't Forget Tonight”. The song has been performed for 23 times over the past 36 years. Its original performer Li Guyi has also held a record of singing the most songs during a gala. In 1983, she sang a total of seven songs.
Cheung Mingman was the first singer from Hong Kong to perform at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. He sang a patriotic song, “My Chinese Heart,” in 1984 and won millions of hearts, especially those who were living abroad.
The longest running performance in the history of the gala is called “Time”. In 2016, Yang Caiqi performed on stage for four hours until the New Year's bell rang.
【1】How many people watched the 2019 CCTV Spring Festival Gala?
A．About 1,148 million.
B．About 646 million.
C．About 1,173 million.
D．About 552 million.
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A．“Time” lasted over four hours in the gala of 2016.
B．Cheung Mingman sang a patriotic song in the first gala.
C．The song “Can't Forget Tonight” is performed annually in the gala.
D．Backstage staff of the first gala kept cautious in case the telephone lines caught fire.
【3】What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To share some facts about the gala.
B．To look back on the past of the gala.

31、Vocabulary
When I succeeded in becoming a part-time employee of Nokia China last summer, many friends asked me how I survived the interview.
I once asked myself the same questions. Many of my peers(平辈) also 【1】 for the job, including some very competitive and intelligent students from famous universities.
But why did the interviewer pick me instead of them?
Finally, 【2】 pushed me to ask the interviewers after we became colleagues. The answer was that I appeared confident but humble, responsible and communicative. They evaluated people not just on their academic certificates, but on the base of their 【3】 and abilities. I happened to be the right person.
To be frank, I once felt 【4】 of being a student from an unknown college, and I think this may apply to some of you. I thought my future was ruined. It was only at the time of my successful interview that I finally understood the famous saying --- “You decide where you go.”
A wide range of skills is important these days. I used to work for Master Kong. My job was to cook instant noodles for customers. I had 【5】 it as a piece of cake, but I failed constantly. I had to cook the noodles for the right amount of time to make them taste good. Moreover, the noodles could only remain in a plastic cup of five minutes, or the taste would be 【6】.
This experience taught me never to look 【7】 on anything, and always remain humble.
I also worked as a volunteer for a beach volleyball event. My job was to help foreign visitors experience the beach. I thought it would be very easy because my oral English was 【8】 good. But when I went to talk with a group of foreign guests, I suddenly realized that I did not know a single beach volleyball term. I was embarrassed.
After this, I read notebooks in both Chinese and English every day to learn the terms for facilities and related words. This allowed me to deliver right 【9】 to foreigners, and I was happy to work responsibly.
After these experience, I’m more confident and I strongly believe that my fate is in my 【10】. It has certainly helped me make a giant step closer to my dream of graduating with prospects for the future. I hope my advice will benefit you as well.
