27、The father of an 8-year-old boy says his son is now the youngest person to climb the famous El Capitan in California.

After four days of guided climbing, Joe Baker and his son Sam Baker reached the top of the cliff (悬崖) face inside Yosemite National Park last week. “We made it!” Joe Baker wrote on Facebook. “What an amazing week! I’m so proud of Sam. He completed the youngest rope ascent (登顶) of El Capitan!”

Rock climbing has long been a favorite pastime for the Baker family. Though Sam’s mother, Ann Baker didn’t join for the ascent, she is also a climber and a big supporter o her son’s brave efforts. The family set up a website to record the details of Sam Baker’s adventures and raise money to “make films that encourage parents to adventure big with their kids.”

Sam Baker began training for the ascent at least 18 months ago and reached the top of Moonlight Buttress inside Zion National Park in Utah as a bit of a test run, according to his dad. “He did great on Moonlight Buttress!” Joe Baker said.

They began the ascent of El Capitan on October 25 and reached the top on October 28. They made the journey with the help of two guides. The Bakers used a technique known as “jugging”, also known as a rope ascent, which includes using handheld equipment to slide (滑行) up a fixed rope that’s been placed by a guide who’s furher up the rock. This way, the climber can move effortlessly up the rope without touching the rock face. The ascent takes many days, which means supplying (提供) the group with food, water and other heavy equipment.

“It’s just a great place,” Joe Baker tells the journalist. “It’s kind of like the mecca (圣地) of rock climbing. It’s such a big adventure and also an opportunity.”

【1】What can we learn about Sam Baker?

A．He grew up in a climbing family.

B．He climbed El Capitan with his mother.

C．He made films to raise money for his climbs.

D．He set a new record on Moonlight Buttress.

【2】What does the technique “jugging” include?

A．A guide walks on fixed handheld equipment.

B．Climbers move a fixed distance together on ropes.

C．Climbers receive physical training before the ascent.

D．A guide climbs ahead and sets a rope for others to follow.

【3】What did the group prepare for the ascent of El Capitan?

A．Professional guidebooks.

B．Medical reports.

C．Necessary supplies.

D．Repair facilities.

【4】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A．An 8-year-old’s record-breaking climb.

B．An 8-year-old’s courage to face challenges.

C．An-year-old’s amazing climbing technique.

D．An 8-year-old’s confidence in setting records.

28、The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” –-- and many other brands are following it. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2008. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.

In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.

Most “i” products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.

But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.

“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.

Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.

Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).

But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.

【1】 People use iPlayer to __________.

A. listen to music   B. make a call

C. watch TV programs online D. read newspapers

【2】 The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.

A. popular   B. uncertain   C. clear D. unique

【3】 Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________.

A. portable   B. environmentally friendly

C. advanced   D. recyclable

【4】 The writer suggests that __________.

A. “i” products are often of high quality

B. I Teddy is alive bear

C. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products

D. the popularity of “i” products may not last long

29、Following Christmas dinner, my family was relaxing around the kitchen table. We were discussing the delicious meal we had just had. Dad had risen from his chair and was standing nearby.

My nephew began playing with his new basketball around the table. Upon nearing Dad, he stopped. With shaking, wrinkled hands, Dad had reached out for the ball. He did not speak, and the boy looked at us in confusion. After a few seconds, he carefully passed the ball to Dad. I watched my father closely to see what he would do. A playful smile appeared on his face. Holding the ball and reaching forward, Dad bounced it on the floor and then caught it.

This action was repeated. Smiling with satisfaction, he then turned towards us. Gently tossing (投掷) the ball away, Dad began a game of catch.

The ball continued to be passed through pairs of outstretched hands. Cries of “Over here!” rang through the warm kitchen. Dad’s active participation in this game was remarkable to me, since he had dementia (痴呆). This disease had robbed (剥夺) him of many memories and the recognition of people, places and points in time. Despite this, Dad clearly recognized the ball and what he could do with it.

In my younger years, playing with Dad was not often. He worked hard and provided for us, but never showed nor shared much emotion. His favorite game was chess, which he once taught me how to play. But after his illness, connecting moments between father and son had been few before he took the basketball.

I’m not sure how long we played the game. Watching the clock was not important. Dad happily led us until he began to tire. I know that that moment will certainly last forever. This Christmas, Dad gave me a special memory—one that I will always treasure.

【1】How is the second paragraph organized?

A．By offering analyses.

B．By providing details.

C．By giving examples.

D．By making comparisons.

【2】Why did father’s active participation in the game surprise the author?

A．It was the first time he had taken part in such a game.

B．He was able to recognize his family members clearly.

C．He could have a rest and relax by playing the ball game.

D．He could recognize the ball and react accordingly.

【3】What can we learn about the author’s father?

A．His sickness made it difficult for him to recognize people.

B．He worked hard and liked to share his feelings with his family.

C．He taught the author how to play basketball and the game of catch.

D．When the author was young, he spent a lot of time playing with him.

【4】What would be the best title for this text?

A．A Son’s Love

B．Father’s Smiles

C．The Happiness of a Sick Father

D．Unforgettable Memories at Christmas

30、Mrs. June P. Garrett was my seventh-grade English teacher. Back in 1968, she had a major_________ on my life.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。

After I finished my senior year, I got a part-time job working at a local coffee shop. I had thought that the job would be easy and, for the most part, stress-free. I pictured myself pouring the best delicious coffees, and becoming close friends with the regular customers.

What I hadn't counted on were the people with many orders who chose to use the drive-through window, or the customers who felt there was always too much sugar, too little ice, or not enough skimmed milk. There were moments when I was annoyed. However, I kept at it.

On a rainy day, one of my regular customers came in looking depressed and defeated. I asked what the problem was and if I could help, but the customer wouldn't tell any details. He just said he felt like pulling the sheets up over his head in the bed, and staying in it for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.

Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He looked at me questioningly because he hadn't ordered anything but the coffee. He opened the bag and saw that I had given him his favourite type of doughnut.

“It's on me,” I told him. “Have a nice day.”

He smiled and thanked me before turning around and heading back out into the rain.

The next day was a horrible one. The rain poured down and everyone seemed to be using the drive-through window. I spent my afternoon leaning out of the window, and handing people their orders. I tried to smile but it was difficult, as they sat in their temperature-controlled cars with the windows rolled up, while I dealt with huge drops of water hanging from my hat, and a shirt that was entirely wet around the collar. On top of that, no one felt like tipping that day. Every time I looked into our tip jar, with its small amount of pennies, I grew more depressed.

Paragraph 1:

Around seven o'clock, however, my day took a turn for the better.
