26、 I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling (叛逆). I suggested they recall their own teenage years. At that age they would like to be growing away from parents. They preferred to stand on their own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of going out fighting bravely on their own, most of them are grasping one another's hands for reassurance (肯定).
They declare they want to dress as they like, but they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music, but somehow they all end up gathering around listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in a similar way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (茧) into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All these create a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't, care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go for it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really matters.
【1】What will teenagers do if they are rebelling?
A.Fight bravely.
B.Wear beautiful clothes.
C.Follow the crowd.
D.Stay away from teachers.
【2】What's paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The symbols of the present rebellion.
B.The attitudes of parents to the present rebellion.
C.The reasons why teenagers fail in finding their own ways.
D.The ways of changing the teenagers' dependence.
【3】What does the author suggest?
A.Finding popularity with others.
B.Growing away from parents.
C.Staying together with friends.
D.Holding on to our own thoughts.
27、 Tom goes everywhere with Catherine Green, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. "Most people don't seem to mind Tom," says Catherine, who thinks he is wonderful. "He's my fourth child," she says. She may think of him and treat him that way as her son, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Tom is a dog.
Catherine and Tom live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.
People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to offer health and even life premium for their dog.
In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
【1】The money paid as dog taxes is used to .
A．provide medical care for dogs
B．pay for damage done by dogs
C．keep a high level of care for the people
D．buy insurance for dog owners
【2】The underlined world "premium" possibly means .
A．entertainment expense
B．medical check
C．payment for risks
D．protection fee
【3】If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed, who should pay for the damage done to the car?
A．The government.
B．The owner of the car.
C．The insurance company.
D．The owner of the dog.
【4】From the text it can be inferred that in Sweden .
A．people care much about dogs
B．keeping dogs means asking for trouble
C．many car accidents are caused by dogs
D．dogs are welcome in public places
28、Hunger has been troubling the world. In 2016, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It’s difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat.
The UN figures that almost two thirds of the world’s hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world’s most populous continent. More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa. Although this place has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean.
There are many reasons for world hunger. They include wars, droughts, floods, and the overuse of farmland. All these factors affect food production. Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. In fact, many people are starving just because they’re poor. Therefore, the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty. If we can’t pull out this root, we’ll never be able to solve food shortage.
Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution. In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population.
There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food. In those places, being overweight is a far bigger problem than hunger. The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not to overeat.
【1】Which continent has the highest rate of hungry people?
A．Asia.
B．Africa.
C．America.
D．Europe.
【2】According to the last paragraph, ________ results in the poverty.
A．not enough production
B．slow growth of food
C．consuming too much food
D．imbalance of food distribution
【3】Maybe the author would write about ________ if there were a sixth paragraph.
A．how to make food distribution balanced
B．when to get rid of world hunger thoroughly
C．who is to blame for the world hunger
D．what to do to help the hungry people
29、 If you thought pilots dimmed（调暗）the lights before takeoff to give you some shuteye, think again. Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.
The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”
The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 seconds to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you haven’t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight.
Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, but it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it’s for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky.
【1】The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers_______.
A.escape in time of emergency
B.take a short break
C.create a comfortable atmosphere
D.enjoy themselves
【2】Which of the following is True according to Paragragh 2 and 3?
A.Dimming lights is required when accidents happen.
B.Our eyes need some time to adapt to the change of light.
C.Speckles are caused by the use of dimmed lights.
D.It is required for pilots to turn off lights during the flight.
【3】What is the function of shortening “dark adaptation” time?
A.Slowing down the landing.
B.Adjusting the plane lights.
C.Keeping passengers calm.
D.Helping the crew judge outside risks.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.A tip to make air travel safer.
B.An emergency event happening on a plane.
C.An explanation of an airline safety measure.
D.A warning message from the pilot.

31、Directions：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Cure isn’t a word normally used in the 【1】 of AIDS. For most of the 35 years since HIV, the virus responsible for the disease, was first identified, doctors have viewed the notion of a cure as more 【2】 than fact.
That’s because HIV is a virus unlike any other. It disables the very immune cells that are 【3】 to destroy it, carrying out the ultimate deadly ambush（埋伏）whenever the guard of immune 【4】 comes down, months or sometimes even years later.
Yet for the first time in the HIV epidemic that 【5】 affects nearly 37 million people worldwide, some experts are starting to aim for a cure cautiously. The National Institutes of Health（NIH）is funding HIV cure efforts and advocacy groups like amfAR are also 【6】 resources into not just treating HIV, but also finding ways to eliminate it completely.
“Absolutely HIV can be cured,”says Rowena Johnston, vice president and director of research for amfAR.“The question is how.”
Doctors today have no trouble keeping HIV under control in people who are infected, thanks to antiretroviral（ARV）drugs, which stop the virus from replicating（复制）. If it is not making more copies of itself. HIV cannot spread to infect new cells. That can 【7】 into healthier, longer lives for people who are HIV-positive.
Powerful as the current drug treatments are, they can’t actually 【8】 the body of infected cells. For self-preservation, some HIV lies latent（潜伏性的）inside certain immune cells. These are the viruses that come coaring back when people stop taking their medications.
But the latest report this month revealed the strongest evidence that these latent viruses can be activated and eliminated, at least in animals. Dr. Dan Barouch and his colleagues showed that a drug that stimulates the immune system, 【9】 with a powerful antibody, prevented HIV from roaring back in five of 11 animals, six months after they stopped taking ARVs.“I think our data raises the 【10】 that an intervention achieving a functional cure is possible,”says Barouch.
