26、If you’re planning to travel overseas, the most common form of transportation is by airplane. 【1】
Purchase your ticket. Choosing an airline carrier might depend on a number of factors including the company’s service record, price of the ticket, length of time to destination, and even in-flight service.
【2】. You have to pay attention to the time, because the airline claims clearly that the flight stops check-in 30 minutes before departure, so you’d better be at the airport 1 hour before departure time.
Boarding procedures (that is, boarding pass). When you arrive, you usually check your bags at the main ticket counter. 【3】.
Through security. You have to pass through the security checkpoint, where you will have to walk through an X-ray machine. Of course, this is for everyone’s safety. 【4】, then you will go to the designated boarding area and gate to wait for your plane.
Boarding. The boarding card indicates where you are. Find your seat, sit down, fasten the safety belt, and turn off your cell phone before taking off. 【5】. There are also life jackets under the seats, and oxygen masks in case the plane’s cabin unexpectedly loses pressure. Be sure to read the safety instruction card located in the pocket of the seat in front of you.
Airplane travel can be exciting and you can make this experience even better by knowing what to expect in advance. Please don’t take the safety of the plane, the crew, and the passengers like a joke, otherwise, it is possible to cause the aircraft’s emergency landing or return immediately.

27、Birthdays often involve surprises. But this year’s surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.
On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. “It’s very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one,” said an expert from Britain’s National Portrait Gallery.
The discovery comes after four months of testing using X rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image commonly known as the “Flower portrait”—was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare’s death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.
“We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare’s plays,” Tarnya Cooper, the gallery’s curator (馆长), told the Associated President.
The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare S Company.
“There have always been questions about the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. “Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture.”
Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation and the results will come out later this month. .
【1】What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year?
A．It was found that he painted a portrait in 1814 instead of in 1609.
B．The Flower portrait has been found to be a fake.
C．Three portraits of Shakespeare are being tested to identify a real one.
D．It was found that there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare’s plays around 1818 to 1840.
【2】How many methods were used to test the portrait?
A．Not mentioned.
B．Two.
C．Three.
D．At least four.
【3】Which is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the last paragraph?
A．Soon we’ll know which portrait is reliable.
B．Maybe we cannot find a real portrait of Shakespeare.
C．If the two portraits are found to be false, they will test more.
D．For now what Shakespeare really looked like will remain a mystery.
【4】The best title for this passage is .
A．the surprise on the 441st bithday of Shakespeare
B．birthdays often involve surprises
C．one portrait of Shakespeare is a fake
D．how can we know Shakespeare’s appearance
28、For more than fifty years, a worker was forced to sit on the back of a truck and slowly drop plastic barriers（障碍）
to set out lanes（车道）on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Every day, their direction changes to control the traffic, meaning an employee had to go through the difficult task every twenty-four hours.
But a new piece of machinery means the work can be completed in a matter of minutes. A new “zipper truck” has been introduced. The vehicle lays and moves a lane barrier as it drives over the bridge. Last weekend, the bridge was closed so the new safety barrier, designed to reduce the dangers of head-on crashes, could be set up.
For the longest period in its nearly eighty-year history, the bridge was closed early Saturday to all but walkers, cyclists and buses to set up the barriers on the 1.7-mile bridge. A survivor of a 2008 head-on crash on the bridge spoke Sunday from a wheelchair to help introduce the new barrier, made of steel-clad concrete（铜包混凝土）blocks that can move across the bridge’s six lanes to meet traffic needs.
Gr. Grace Dammann pushed for a safer barrier since becoming unable to walk after the accident. She said she decided to drive near the middle of the bridge, which was called the “suicide（自杀）lane”, because she and her daughter were running late. Brian Clark, who was driving in the opposite direction, had just learned his father had cancer. “He suddenly lost control of the wheel, crossed over and hit my car,” Dammann said.
She said she and Clark became friends as they persuaded（说服）the government to use the MYM30 million barrier. “I am so thankful,” said Dammann, who came to the ceremony with Clark.
“Clark and I thank you.”
【1】What is the zipper truck for?
A. Building bridges. B. Repairing the road.
C. Carrying plastic barriers. D. Setting up safe lane barriers.
【2】What can we infer about the Golden Gate Bridge?
A. It is being repaired now. B. It is a bridge with eight lanes.
C. It had very dangerous lanes before. D. It is too old to be used at the moment.
【3】What do we learn about Dammann and Clark?
A. They organized the ceremony. B. They are both government officials.
C. They designed the new zipper truck. D. They were in favor of the new barrier.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A. A worker on the Golden Gate Bridge. B. A great bridge in San Francisco.
C. A new safer barrier system. D. A serious traffic accident.
29、Anti-smoking ad campaign
Every year millions people around the world die because of smoking. Every pocket of contains poisonous chemicals that can lead to lung cancer and heart disease. This costs countries a lot of money and causes great damage to the welfare of the people. There are huge numbers of smokers in Asia. This is why anti-smoking is chosen as the subject of our ad campaign.
The target audience is high-school teenagers. Our main aim is to discourage young people from smoking. Our research shows that health and future is what young people care about. We will educate them about the bad physical effects of smoking and how smoking affects those people around them. We will explain all the advantages of not smoking, such as saving money which can then be spent on other things. Our interviews also indicate that young people are concerned about what is cool and what their friends like. We will show how smoking is not cool or attractive, because it makes people smell terrible, and gives them bad teeth, skin and fingernails. If we can convince young people not to start, they might then urge their parents and other people to give up smoking, too.
Our campaign will start on 31 May, World No Tobacco Day. We will put large posters around the school with our logo and slogan. Our website will provide students with more information about smoking. We will also publish an article in the school magazine informing students about the dangers of smoking, and we will organize an essay competition as well. Our slogan: Smoking kills!

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。
Every year, Vargas and her dad go hiking. This summer’s trip was up Table Rock in the Grand Tentons in early December.
Vargas was just below the 11, 000-foot peak with her dad waiting about a mile down the trail when she met an injured English springer spaniel. She couldn’t find the dog’s owner and she figured it would be easier for her to carry the dog to safety.
“I had to crawl under him to get him up on my shoulders,”said Vargas, a single mother of three children from Idaho. “I felt the difficulty of it right away. I never felt 55 pounds like that before.”
Her dad, Ted Kasper, who took some photos when he saw his daughter coming down the trail with a dog on her shoulders. Dad laughed and said, “Isn’t this hike hard enough? You must carry a dog too?” Vargas recalled. “My dad made me laugh. He is such a great man.”
That sense of humor helped Vargas get through the difficulty of carrying the heavy dog down the trail. The hiking was hard and nearly unbearable at times. Every time Vargas put him down so she could rest, it was difficult. And every time she got down on her knees to put her head under his belly and tried to use neck and body strength to lift him, she was painful and it was hard.
“I thought we would see people on the trail on the way down to help. But that wasn’t the case.” she said. Kasper offered to run down the trail and try to find help, but Vargas didn’t want to be left alone.
About halfway down the trail, Vargas thought she might not be able to continue. At the time, it started to rain. “The thought of stopping crossed my mind once. My legs hurt and were shaking. My dad’s jokes made me laugh and it gave me energy. And feeling the dog’s breath growing faint was what encouraged me to continue,” she said.
Finally hiking six miles and reaching the bottom of the trail, Vargas found a very small note that said, “Lost dog named Boomer, call this number.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
