26、 For a long time, people had to listen to the radio to get news, drama and music at home. This all changed with the development of the television in the early 20th century.
For most of TV’s history, we have fitted our weekday evenings around broadcasts of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street. Except that’s no longer the case. Today, we have the power to watch whatever we want, whenever we want, wherever we want through streaming (流媒体) services. The services have given us access to more content than was ever possible, including back catalogues of classic shows and movies.
It’s not just the streaming services that are taking away audiences from traditional TV channels either. Social media sites also provide competition to traditional TV since they allow the uploading of video content, meaning users can watch more shorter clips (剪辑) at their convenience.
In the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on streaming services than ever before. In 2018, these figures were 26 minutes per day. This has been the trend for the past decade and it doesn’t look like it will be changing any time soon. While demand for streaming services is growing, the main UK channels continue to be the most watched overall. For example, in 2018 UK adults continued to watch BBC One for an average of 41 minutes per day, more than any streaming services.
While the traditional TV networks have seen a decline, the television set itself doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere any time soon. Most major TV channels have their own catch-up streaming services, which significantly increase their viewing figures. Additionally, the BBC began making content that’s only available through its iPlayer service. BBC Two allows its viewers to watch original content at their convenience without having to wait for the show to air on TV first.
So, while around 50% of all households now subscribe to at least one streaming service, there is no way of knowing where television is going.
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The advantages of streaming services.
B.The popularity of traditional TV channels.
C.The competition among streaming services.
D.The effects of the Internet on people’s lives.
【2】What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Analyzing official figures. B.The changing viewing habit.
C.Preferring to watch short videos. D.The great demand for UK channels.
【3】What do major TV channels do to attract more audiences?
A.Enrich their content.
B.Put on older TV shows.
C.Seek help from video makers.
D.Provide streaming services.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.How Traditional TV Networks Were Formed
B.Will Traditional TV be Replaced by Streaming
C.What Were Broadcast on Early TV Programs
D.People’s Entertainment Ways Change with the Times
27、There are many kinds of heroes. Even animals can be heroes. This month’s newsletter tells about three amazing animals. Each one is a hero!
Thumper the Dog
Thumper was a dog that lived with a family which had a three-year-old son named Benjamin. One day Benjamin wandered into a large field. The grass in the field was taller than he was, so he could not find his way out. Hundreds of people began to search for Benjamin. When they found him, they saw Thumper stayed with Benjamin and kept him warm. So Benjamin had stayed safe and calm.
Lulu the Pig
The Altsmans had a pet pig named Lulu. One summer the couple went camping and took Lulu with them. The husband went fishing one morning. The wife didn’t feel well, so she and Lulu stayed in the camper. Suddenly Mrs. Altsman fell to the floor. Lulu pushed the camper door open and climbed out to locate help. When a car came by, she lay down in front of it. When the driver got out, Lulu led him back to the camper. The man called for help and Mrs. Altsman was taken to hospital.

Sugar was a beautiful cat. Three years ago she wandered onto the Woods’ farm in California and Mrs. Woods began feeding her. Mrs. Woods noticed something wrong with the cat’s left leg, but this didn’t make Sugar any less special. Mrs. Woods loved Sugar. Later the couple moved to a new farm in Oklahoma. They gave Sugar to a neighbor who would take good care of her, because they knew she wouldn’t like riding in cars for days. However, Sugar walked across deserts and mountains and traveled more than 1,500 miles to the Woods’ new farm! Mr. and Mrs. Woods could hardly believe their eyes.

28、Christy and Ted Wilson set aside time every Sunday evening to go over their shared to-do list. Most of the items are tasks like scheduling doctor appointments and organizing play dates for their three young children.
In every relationship, there’s a question of who is pulling their weight around the house. Now that a majority of married-couple families have two working parents, the old “rough day at the office” excuse doesn’t really cut it.
Women still handle more of the household activities, but men increasingly are spending time on food preparation and cleanup. To keep things fair or at least to avoid fights, couples are turning to technology. They are using project management apps designed for the workplace to divide up and track household to-dos and reserving a portion of their date nights to compare chores. In some cases, they are even turning it into a game, setting rewards for getting things done.
The imbalance doesn’t always follow gender lines. There was a time when Mr. Wilson was in more of a “Mr. Mom” role: He was attending business school, while Mrs. Wilson was clocking long hours as a lawyer. So Mr. Wilson had more flexibility to take on more of the child-care and household-management work. The couple’s roles changed after Mr. Wilson graduated and started an e-commerce company. “We have had a lot of switching back and forth of who was in the driver’s seat in terms of household management so one person wasn’t too put upon,” she said. They began using calendars to keep the family schedules straight and sharing a to-do list in the Notes app on their phones. Each can take on chores the other dislikes.
【1】What does the underlined part “pulling their weight around the house”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Sharing the burden of buying a house.
B.Taking on the household chores.
C.Running around the house to lose weight.
D.Making excuses for not doing any housework.
【2】What can we infer from the Wilsons’ example?
A.Gender plays a key role in management.
B.Couples need to switch their roles each day.
C.Understanding can help solve problems.
D.Digital apps can only handle household arguments.
【3】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Ways to finish housework.
B.Advantages of the Notes app.
C.A family to-do list goes digital.
D.Working parents face difficulties.
29、 “Well, I made it,” says Greg Daniels with a smile.
Recently there have been news reports and television shows reporting on the quality of school lunches. According to federal guidelines, French fries count as a serving of vegetables. Many parents and others are upset that a salty, deep-fired food is replacing healthier options like carrot sticks. As a result, the potato — what French fries are made of — has been getting a bad rap.
“The problem is not the potato,” insists Greg. “Potatoes are very healthy. But any food, even carrots or lettuce (生菜), will be less healthy if it’s cooked in grease(油脂).”
Two months ago, Greg decided to eat nothing but potatoes for 60 days. As a high school science teacher and son of a potato farmer, he wanted to do something to draw attention to potatoes as a healthy food and a good choice as part of anyone’s regular meals.
“It’s been an interesting experience,” Greg said. “For a while, I wasn’t sure I would make it. I was pretty tired of eating potatoes after a few weeks.”
But for Greg there were some benefits that he hadn’t expected. He’s lost 15 pounds and he feels better than he has in years. “I have so much more energy,” he says. “I’ve been running and playing on a local basketball team, and I feel like I’m playing as well as I did when I was in high school.”
And Greg has gotten a lot of attention, much more than he expected. “It’s been fantastic. Thousands of people have read my blog. I’ve been sharing recipes and talking about the experience. Every day I get to tell people what a great idea it is to eat potatoes.”
Greg is glad to be back to a normal diet, but he still eats potatoes at least 5 or 6 times a week. “Everyone should!” he says with a smile. “Potatoes are healthy and taste great!”
【1】What does the underlined part “getting a bad rap” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Receiving little attention.
B.Obtaining an unfair judgement.
C.Getting more and more popular.
D.Becoming good for people’s health.
【2】Why did Greg decide to eat potatoes only?
A.Because potatoes are cheap.
B.To draw attention to himself.
C.To prove that potatoes are healthy.
D.Because he loves potatoes very much.
【3】After eating potatoes for a few weeks, Greg________.
A.gave up his plan.

C.became less healthy.
D.was sick of potatoes.

30、In my first year as a junior doctor, I worked in a stroke department. There were rooms of the department which were _________ for special patients.

And the doctors thought he was _________ dead. They discussed the very poor disease with his wife over his motionless body, _________ he wasn’t there.
Later that day I returned to take some blood from his _________ arm. His head was on one side. As I knelt down, I met his gaze. There seemed to be some sort of _________. It was as if he was _________ me to do something. I instinctively held his hand and smiled as __________ as I could, though he made no response. I couldn’t forget what happened there even after I left the room. The idea that he was __________ there, a living hell on earth, troubled me until he died two weeks later.
This event __________ great changes in my life. When I take care of those __________ patients, I always introduce myself and explain what I am doing to them, just in case there is part of them that is still aware.
And years later, when my grandmother was lying dying, I still spoke to her and __________ her. In matters __________ this, you just never know.

31、请根据所学课文以及所给的首字母(部分词汇)的提示用完整形式填空。
People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can【1】 this question if you study British history.
First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people 【2】 to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to “Great Britain”. Happily this was 【3】 without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack.
To their 【4】 the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the 【5】 and international relations), but they still have very different institutions. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!
England is the largest of the four countries, and for 【6】 it is divided roughly into three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North. You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England. Although, 【7】, these cities are not as large as those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors. For historical 【8】 you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture.
The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings. It is the center of national government and its 【9】. It has the oldest port built by the Romans in the first century AD, the oldest building begun by the Anglo-Saxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle constructed by later Norman rulers in 1066. There has been four sets of invaders of England. The first invaders, the Romans, left their towns and roads. The second, the Anglo-Saxons, left their language and their government. The third, the Vikings, influenced the 【10】 and place-names of the North of England, and the fourth, the Normans, left castles and introduced new words for food.
If you look around the British countryside you will find evidence of all these invaders. You must keep your eyes open if you are going to make your trip to the United Kingdom enjoyable and worthwhile.
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。
I will never forget what happened when I was at the age of 10. It was one week before Children’s Day. I was looking forward to my gifts. Given the fact that I was the youngest in my family, the other members would like to give me a different gift. Whatever the gift was, I was always more than glad to accept them. Undoubtedly, I was being taken care of. Naturally, it was feeling so good.
In most cases, my uncles would ask me smilingly what I desired before Children’s Day and that year I was eagerly waiting to be asked. What a beautiful spaceship it was! That flashed across my eyes when I opened a big gift box. However, it greeted me against my expectation that year.
It was exactly one week before Children’s Day. Just one week, she could hardly wait. My dear mother told my father she, my future-to-be little sister, would come to the world. Immediately, we went to the hospital. After an hour, they told me that I had the little sister. I didn’t want her but I wanted a spaceship. The days that followed went so fast. No one was taking care of me. Everyone was talking about her. My life would go off the beaten track. I had no intention of being a big brother. But it just happened in an instant.
On the day before Children’s Day, everyone in my home was paying closer and closer attention to my newborn sister. My family was becoming hers. Even my uncles asked me nothing about the gift again. She stole everything I’d ever had. My life and presents were completely spoiled. On thinking of this, I couldn’t help crying in the middle night sleep. Suddenly, I had a nightmare and was startled (吓一跳) awake. Shadows being all around me, I was defenseless and helpless. I rushed into my parents’ bedroom but they were sleeping so soundly that I couldn’t wake them up. They were just stressed out and worn out. Standing near their bed, I tried not to cry when I saw her. She was wide awake, looking at me with her big eyes twinkling in her small bed.
