26、Paris is the city of dreams. If you plan to head to Paris for a study period, then perhaps a little reality check is in order. But my experience was a romantic one.
I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program. On arrival in Paris, I was constantly reminded of the official processes I had to complete-forms to be filled in, meetings to attend, and the list seemed endless.
Then the real work began. Once classes were underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first, rather than last. This method proved to be very helpful.
Once I had finished class for the week, I had an ever-increasing list of museums to visit, neighborhoods to explore, and cafes to sit in. Read books about Paris. Talk to locals and other foreigners living there. But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. I discovered some of my favorite places in Paris by wandering. The people watching, the sounds of the city, the colors as the seasons change, they all add to the ecstasy that I experience in Paris as an exchange student.
After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods, I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door, and with every spoken word. There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to enjoy the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying “bonjour” to the passers-by.
On my last day in Paris, I confidently said, “Bonjour Monsieur,” as I passed the little store down the street. I guess no matter how hard I tried I was always going to be an outsider, a tourist. The best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own unique way.
Everyone's experience of Paris is different. I know mine is unique and special to me, my own little pieces of Paris.
【1】Beyond reading books, which experience would the author treasure most?
A．Enjoying coffee in his spare time.
B．Greeting people in French in the street.
C．Buying vegetables in the market.
D．Hanging around in Paris.
【2】What does the underlined word “ecstasy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Courage.
B．Imagination.
C．Happiness.
D．Reputation.
【3】According to the passage, what left the author the deepest impression?
A．The friendly people he met in Paris.
B．The special culture he experienced in the city.
C．The academic achievement he made in his study.
D．The presentations and assignments he did in class.
【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．An exchange student's life.
B．Charming neighborhoods.
C．An exchange program.
D．A traveling experience.
27、A beautiful and very successful actress was the star of a new musical show. Her home was in the country, but she didn’t want to have to go back there every night, so she rented (租用) an expensive flat in the centre of the city, bought some beautiful furniture (家具) and hired a man to paint the rooms in new colours.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show because everybody wanted to see it, so she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better and more willingly for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill. At the bottom of it were the words “Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance,£3,” with this note： “After 5 p.m. I get fifteen shillings an hour instead of ten shillings.”
【1】In the article, “Miss Hall” was the name of ________.
A．a place where people sang and danced

D．a street

A．near the city
B．near her home
C．in the middle of the city
D．by the side of the country road
【3】The actress gave the painter two tickets, hoping he would ________.
A．be pleased
B．ask less money for his work
C．charge more money for his work
D．say a good word for her musical show
【4】After the painter got the tickets from the actress, he ________.
A．sold them for £3
B．went to watch the musical show
C．paid £3 for them
D．was very thankful to her
28、Thinking about the past week, did any of you forget where you put your phone? Did you have a word stuck on the tip of your tongue? You couldn’t remember the name of the movie a friend recommended? What is going on here? Is your memory failing?
It’s not. 【1】Despite memory’s extraordinary, necessary and common presence in our lives, it is far from perfect. Our brains are not designed to remember people’s names, to remember to do something later or to catalogue everything we experience. 【2】 Even in the smartest heads, memory is likely to be wrong. So what determines what we remember and what we forget?
【3】Your memory is not a video camera recording a constant stream of every sight and sound you're exposed to. You can only remember what you are concerned about. Accordingly, one major reason for forgetting what someone said or where you parked your car is lack of attention.
The other has something to do with stimulus(刺激物). For example, the tip of the tongue is one of the most common experiences of memory failure. 【4】Why does this happen? The tip of the tongue can occur when there’s only partial or weak activation(激活)of the nerve cells that connect to the word you’re looking for.
So when you walk into a room and suddenly don’t know why you’re there, you’re not going crazy or getting Alzheimer’s disease, and your memory isn’t terrible. Go back to the room you were in before you landed in this one and imagine the clues that were there. 【5】
A．One necessary factor is attention.
B．It’s doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
C．These imperfections are simply the factory settings.
D．Our brains tend to remember what is meaningful and forget what isn’t.
E．You’re trying to come up with a word, but you cannot find it in your memory.
F．It will instantly deliver what you were completely confused about a moment ago.
G．Memory is amazing and is essential for the functioning of almost everything we do.
29、A few years ago, I stood in a small classroom, watching a high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions. An instructor read out numbers-7447, 7089, 9842-and Stevenson added them in her head. For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the problems correctly.
The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus (算盘). For much of that evening, Stevenson used a practice called "mental abacus", imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work through the problem.
From watching Stevenson, I knew that gaining skills on the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads (珠子), so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who held some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear of math. My typical solution was simple-just escape, and if I had to calculate something like percentage change, I would go online.
Then after a few abacus classes-and a lot of practice-math seemed a little less frightening. I hadn't become Euclid. But the practice brought my numerical fears down a level. This is long-demonstrated power of the abacus. Confidence grows easily on the device, and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test, according to one study. Part of the reason, it seems, is practice and results appear to move in step, with hard work about performance.
My kids had gained some math confidence as well. My youngest daughter would smile broadly after getting math problem correct, while my older child brought her abacus to school to show to her classmates and teachers. These were small successes. But that's how they eventually develop confidence.
【1】What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To prove the difficulty of math.
B．To introduce the topic of the abacus.
C．To suggest teaching abacus in schools.
D．To tell an interesting story of Stevenson.
【2】What can we infer about the writer from paragraph 3?
A．He was not good at math.
B．He had no interest in the abacus.
C．He considered math really useful.
D．He learned mental abacus from Stevenson.
【3】What does the writer realize from his learning experience?
A．All roads lead to Rome.
B．Practice makes perfect.
C．Many hands make light work.
D．He who laughs last laughs best.
【4】What does the underlined word "eventually" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Finally.
B．Thoroughly.
C．Flexibly.
D．Slightly.
