26、My greatest regret in life is that I failed to tell my superb teachers how much they contributed to my early education.
Ruth Hammerman taught English to the eighth-graders. She was the first to show me the rules of what Evelyn Waugh called our “rich and delicate language.” She was a no-nonsense instructor. Unlike common teachers, she diagramed (用图表展示) sentences so we could know the grammar rules. She never seemed to be tired of the simple pleasures of sharing her learning.
Under her influence, I had the strong belief that language needs to be well-spoken and properly written. Yet over the years I never made the effort to find her and to express my thankfulness for what she did for me. Two years after being in her class, I began the study of Latin and French, and the foundation (基础) she provided in English grammar served me well. Sadly, I never looked back.
In high school I took advanced French in a class taught by Richard Miller, the finest teacher I have ever experienced at any level. Mr. Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis (分析). Reading “Phèdre”, Racine’s classic play, he asked us to note there were 1,654 lines in it, and then pointed out the care Racine devoted to structure. Years later I made the same point — giving Mr. Miller credit — in a college French class, and my professor was surprised by my understanding of the play. Mr. Miller taught us to enjoy literature with particular points of view. Yet I never made the effort in later years to tell him what he meant to me.
Mr. Miller is certainly long dead. If she is alive, Miss Hammerman would likely be in her 90s. In preparing this article, I tried to find her but was unsuccessful.
I am certain my act is common. People often forget to express love and thankfulness to their teachers. I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and Mr. Miller how much they did for me. I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were doing. Now I appreciate how special they were.
【1】What is the most beneficial part to the author in Miss Hammerman’s class?
A．Grammar.
B．Writing.
C．Speaking.
D．Reading.
【2】What is special about Mr. Miller’s French class?
A．He asked students to count lines.
B．He stressed the importance of play.
C．He analyzed literature in a new way.
D．He showed great devotion to students.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “my act” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Preparing the article.
B．Looking for the teachers.
C．Failing to thank teachers.
D．Copying teachers’ points.
【4】What best describes the two teachers according to the text?
A．Creative.
B．Frank.
C．Humorous.
D．Strict.
【5】What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To show love for French literature.
B．To explore the meaning of education.
C．To explain why teachers are important.
D．To share memories of the two teachers.
27、 There have been many great painters in the rich history of Chinese art. Here are four of the greatest painters from China.
Li Cheng (919—967, Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty)
Li Cheng contributed greatly to one of the golden ages of landscape paintings in world history. During his time, he was considered the best landscape painter ever. He is remembered especially for the winter landscapes he created and for simple compositions of tall, old evergreens set against a dry landscape. Several of his paintings are in thin ink which gives them a foggy appearance.
Fan Kuan (990—1020 , Song Dynasty)
Fan Kuan began his career by modeling Li Cheng's work but later created his own style, claiming that the only true teacher was nature. His finest work Travelers among Mountains and Streams is a masterpiece of landscape painting and many future artists turned to it for inspiration.
Qi Baishi (1864-1957)
One of the greatest contemporary Chinese painters, Qi Baishi is known for not being influenced by Western styles like most painters of his time. He can be considered as the last great traditional painter of China. He painted almost everything from insects to landscapes. He is regarded highly in Chinese art for the freshness that he brought to the familiar types of birds and flowers, insects and grass.
Wu Guanzhong (1919—2010)
Widely considered as the founder of modern Chinese painting , Wu Guanzhong has painted various aspects of China, like its architecture, plants, animals, people and landscapes. Wu went on to combine Western and Chinese styles to create a unique form of modem art. In 1992, he became the first living Chinese artist whose work was exhibited at the British Museum.

28、The biggest threat to the future of Oxfordshire’s economy is transport.
That is the key finding of a major new report which interviewed more than 120 county companies. The results show 76 percent of the company owners and directors believe traffic jams and the quality of transport are affecting their business.
More than 30 percent say this is costing them dearly in the form of extra fuel(燃料) costs, while some say the situation of being stuck in jams on key roads such as the A34 and A40 every day is making it harder to employ workers.
But lack of safer cycling plans is encouraging 72 percent of people to continue to go to work by car.
The report has led the government to try to work out a solution to the situation on the county’s crowded roads.
Nicola Blackwood, an official of Oxfordshire, recently brought transport minister Stephen Hammond to the county and said he became stuck in a traffic jam on the A34.
As a result, he has promised that he will aim to look at entire roads, rather than individual projects such as improving junctions (交叉路口).
Ms Blackwood said: “If we are able to achieve anything like our economic growth, we need to solve the problems that not only affect the new companies but also the growth of existing local businesses. What I want to see most of all is the quick production of a plan to solve the problem of the A34.”
John Cardy, co-founder of Garden Games, said he had considered moving his business from a farm in Garford to Witney but traffic fears had made him reconsider. He added: “Most of our employees were not prepared to use the A40 which is always crowded.”
【1】According to the report, _____.
A. the A34 and A40 are the most crowded roads
B. more and more workers are losing their jobs
C. companies spend more on fuel than before
D. there is a serious lack of fuel
【2】What do we know about the report mentioned in the text?
A. It aims to develop safer cycling plans.
B. It focuses on the unemployment problem.
C. It has attracted the government’s attention.
D. It is based on Stephen Hammond’s experience.
【3】According to Ms Blackwood, what’s the most important thing to do?
A. To solve the problem of heavy traffic.
B. To limit the growth of new businesses.
C. To invite the transport minister to Oxfordshire.
D. To find ways to develop the county’s economy.
【4】John Cardy’s worry shows _____.
A. his employees are always caught in traffic jams on the A40
B. most of his employees aren’t satisfied with him
C. transport is holding back business growth
D. business growth leads to traffic jams
29、Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood, but as we grow older, many of us stop riding. However, hundreds of thousands of people have participated in cycling in recent years. So the question is: what makes it so popular to ride a bike once again?
First, let’s look at the health benefits. Cycling can have a positive influence on heart health and weight management. Also, it can strengthen your leg muscles too. Cycling’s benefits aren’t just physical, but mental as well. Along ride in the countryside could help you to clear your mind and anxiety. But it’s not only about your body and mind-there are also some plus sides for your wallet’s health.
Cycling can be an economical way to go to work or go around town. By cycling, you save money on fuel or train fares. If you do drive into work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a trouble, while finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler. Then, on the train, there are changes at stations and others speaking loudly on their phones to deal with. Cyclists face neither of these problems. And if you’re worried about safety, there are cycle lanes in many major cities. Wearing high-visibility clothing is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads.
Finally, cycling can also be good for the environment. It can help you to reduce your carbon footprint. Not pumping out smoke into the atmosphere is better for the planet. So, whether people want to cycle for their health, going around town, their wallet, the environment, or all of them-the popularity of cycling is on the rise.
【1】What is a health benefit of cycling?
A．Spending less.
B．Saving time.
C．Building lanes.
D．Losing weight.
【2】How does cycling help you to save money?
A．By lowering telephone bills.
B．By cutting fuel costs.
C．By increasing station changes.
D．By solving train noise.
【3】Why is high-visibility clothing advised to wear?
