26、Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts（吹嘘）of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have then danger according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imaginations take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced; they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.
【1】The new products become more and more time-saving because ______.
A. our love on speed seems never-ending
B. time is limited
C. the prices are increasingly high
D. the manufacturers boast a lot
【2】What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?
A. Critical B. Objective
C. Optimistic D. Negative
【3】What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The present and past times
B. Machinery and human beings
C. Imaginations and inventions
D. Modern technology and its influence
27、What does it take to contain two of the biggest companies on the planet? South Korean politicians and Dutch dating apps, apparently. They seem to be succeeding where America’s federal government has failed: to force changes to the way Apple and Google run their app stores.
The app stores are big businesses, with combined sales last year of $133bn, three times the total five years earlier. Apple and Google take a cut of up to 30%, which began in Apple’s iTunes music store and was copied to its iPhone app store, launched in 2008. As people came to use their phones for gaming, streaming and much else, it evolved into a tax on digital activity. Sign up to a service like Disney+ on your phone and Apple or Google get a cut of your subscription (订阅) forever. Apps have had to use the tech’s own payment systems, and could not tell users about other ways to sign up.
Last summer South Korea banned app stores from forcing developers to use a particular payment system. In December Dutch regulators made a similar ruling against Apple, after a complaint by developers of dating apps. On March 23rd the trend went global.
A bigger threat comes from the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), approved in draft form on March 24th. The DMA, which is on track to come into force next year, would force mobile platforms to allow third-party app stores and “sideloading” (旁加载) of apps directly from the web — something Google permits but Apple does not. Offenders face fines of up to 20% of worldwide revenue and bans on acquisitions (收购).
Apple’s boss, Tim Cook, has warned that sideloading would “destroy the security of the iPhone”. That is a bit much: Apple allows sideloading on its desktop computers without damage. But Apple’s much bigger share of the mobile market could make the iPhone a juicier target for malware (恶意软件). And the company trades heavily on privacy and security.
【1】How can Apple and Google manage their app stores?
A．Get users’ subscription for free.
B．Take a 30% cut of subscription.
C．Let apps use third-party payment systems.
D．Tell users to sign up services on their app stores.
【2】What will the DMA allow the app stores do in the text?
A．To approve in draft.
B．To advertise other ways to sign up.
C．To permit third-party app stores and sideloading.
D．To face fine of up to 20% of worldwide revenue.
【3】Which word best describes the Apple’s attitude to sideloading on mobile platform?
A．Unfavorable.
B．Tolerant.
C．Skeptical.
D．Indifferent.
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Sideloading is safe on desktop computers and iPhone.
B．The app stores’ payment systems are about to change.
C．Apple and Google’s profits are threatened by laws and lawsuits.
D．South Korean politicians and Dutch dating apps changes Apple and Google.
28、Finding a good friend can be quite difficult in the contemporary lives of teenagers. I was once baffled by what the definition of a good friend was，until I discovered a single step that，if taken，would make you the greatest friend.
It is willingness. That is all it takes in order to be considered a good friend. Willingness must come from within your heart. Listening to your friends makes them feel important, special and wanted. The will to sacrifice(牺牲) for your friends will also take you a step closer to being a good friend. For instance，as you are about to leave to enjoy your Saturday night，your best friend calls you right when you are stepping out and tells you how terrible he feels，and then you must be willing to give up your Saturday night and go to your friend’s house and try to comfort him in any way that you can.
You must always be willing to give advice to your friends. For example, if your friends are in a situation where they do not know what to do，you must be willing to think things through and try to give them the best advice. The willingness to care is also a big must in being a good friend. You must care about how your friends feel and what they’re experiencing. Caring about your friends is one of the best things you can do，because when your friends are in their time of need and the whole world seems to turn against them，you must be the one to care.
Nobody ever said being a good friend was easy. If you want to be a good friend，you have to be willing to listen, sacrifice，give advice and care about your friends.
【1】From this passage，we can learn that if a friend is confused about what to do next, we’d better _____ .

C. curious D. frightened
【3】We can learn from the passage that _____ .
A. being a good friend is so difficult that few people can do it
B. willingness can make a person a good friend
C. friendship always means sacrificing your own interests
D. a person doesn’t need to care about his friends all the time
【4】What method does the author use to explain his opinion in the second paragraph?
A. Making a definition. B. Citing an example.

【5】What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. How to encounter a good friend.

29、In 1975, a San Diego homemaker named Marjorie Rice came across a column in Scientific American about tiling, a problem that has interested mathematicians since ancient Greek times. After Rice’s chance encounter with tilings, family members often saw her in the kitchen constantly drawing shapes. “I thought she was just drawing casually,” her daughter Kathy said. But Rice who took only one year of math in high school, was actually discovering never-before-seen patterns.
Born in Florida, Rice went to a one-room country school where she skipped two grades and studied with the older kids. Though she loved learning and particularly her brief exposure to math, tight budget and social culture prevented her family from even considering that she might attend college. “For Rice, math was a pleasure”. Her son David once said,“She was crazy about pyramids and studied them with extensive drawings and calculations”.
Rice gave one of her sons a subscription to Scientific American partly because she could read it carefully while the children were at school. When she read Gardner’s column about tiling as she later recalled in an interview:“I thought it must be wonderful that someone could discover these beautiful patterns which no one had seen before.” She also wrote in an essay, “My interest was engaged by the subject and I wanted to understand every detail of it. Lacking a mathematical background, I developed my own symbol system and in a few months discovered a new type.”
Astonished and delighted, she sent her work to Gardner, who sent it to Doris, a tiling expert at Moravian College. Doris confirmed that Rice’s finding was correct.
Rice declined to lecture on her discoveries, citing shyness, but at Doris’s invitation, she attended a university mathematics meeting, where she was introduced to the audience. Rice still said nothing of her achievements to her children, but they eventually found out as the awards mounted.
【1】Why did Rice often draw shapes in the kitchen?
A．She wanted to be a mathematician.
B．She just drew casually for her daughter.
C．She was totally absorbed in tiling.
D．She was passionate about drawing pictures.
【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A．She was addicted to drawing pyramids.
B．She came from a family struggling financially.
C．She refused to attend college for the sake of her family.
D．She went to school two years later than average children.
【3】Why does the author mention “a subscription to Scientific American” in Paragraph 3?
A．To show her family was on a tight budget.
B．To imply she prioritized her own business.
C．To demonstrate she was crazy about tiling.
D．To indicate she excelled in housekeeping.
【4】Which of the following best describes Rice?
A．Devoted and proud.
B．Determined and humble.
C．Talented and demanding.
D．Ambitious and amused.

Just like spoken language, body language v【1】 from culture to culture. The c【2】 thing is using body language in a way that is a【3】 to the culture you are in.

The gesture for “OK” has different meanings in different c【6】. In Japan, someone who w【7】 another person employing the gesture might think it means money. In France, a person encountering an i【8】 gesture may interpret it as meaning zero. H【9】, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and Germany, as it is not considered p【10】.
