26、In most of the inspiring stories, one of the messages that is repeated over and over is not to give up. Giving up is not an option if you truly want to reach your dreams. No matter what challenges you face or how many setbacks you experience or how many times you get knocked down, you mustn't give up. You need to stand strong, raise your head up, and keep pressing forward. Well, in most cases, this is great advice but sometimes, giving up is the smart thing to do. Now before you decide to just give up on your current goals, what should you do?
First of all, you have to figure out exactly why you want to achieve your goal/dream in the first place. Is it really your dream or someone else's? Is it something that you really, truly want or something you think you want because you see a bunch of other people going for the same thing?
We pursue dreams and goals to better ourselves but more importantly, we do it because we believe it will increase our level of happiness and excitement. Imagine spending years to achieve a goal, finally achieving it, and realizing you' re not any happier because it wasn't what you really wanted. So in the situation where you realize the goals/dreams you're after isn't really something you want, giving up is a good choice.
Another thing to keep in mind is that for the most part, we pursue goals for the feelings accomplishing those goals will bring us. Knowing the feelings or experience you're after can open up more options for you. If you know the feelings you' re after, you could change your focus to another goal that will give you the same feelings or experience. Just don't use this as an excuse to give up on something you actually want.
【1】What is the function of the first paragraph?
A.To promote inspiring stories.
B.To explain the harm of giving up.
C.To introduce the topic of this text.
D.To call on people not to give up.
【2】When is it better for you to give up your dreams?
A.When you find other easier goals.
B.When they are too difficult to achieve.
C.When others are doing the same thing.
D.When you realize they bring no happiness.
【3】What does the author probably advise us to do according to paragraph 4?
A.Pursue what you really want.
B.Keep trying until you succeed.
C.Focus on goals not on feelings.
D.Change focus if it is possible.
【4】What is the best title of this text?
A.Giving Up Is Sometimes a Smart Choice
B.No Matter What Difficulty, Never Give Up
C.Keep On and You Will Achieve Your Goals
D.Giving Up Is the Biggest Enemy of Success
27、 Maybe you live in places where English is not the main language. When you speak, your speech might be slower than you would like. This is because your mind is still translating things from your first language into English,which can also sound unnatural. English, like every other language, has its own sentence structure. The good news is that thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency! It is not very difficult, but it does take conscious effort and practice.
Think in single words
Charles Thomas has taught English to Union members, children and teenagers for over 10 years. He tells his students to name the things that they see around them, wherever they are. Start with nouns and then add in verbs, he suggests.
Think in sentences
For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like,“It s such a beautiful day” and “People are playing sports with their friends.” Once this becomes easy, you can move on to more difficult sentences.
Think in conversation
This is a great way to practice what you might say in a real conversation. For example, let's say the imaginary person asks you a question like, “What did you think of the talk show last night?” How would you answer? Imagine the conversation and practice it in your head. You can do this out loud or in silence.
Practice it daily
“When you're doing it every day, over and over again, little by little, that's the key. Because when you make things a habit, it just pops up into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, you're thinking in English,” Thomas says.
【1】What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.English has sentence structure.
B.Translation from your language.
C.Your speech are delivered slower.
D.English is not mother language.
【2】Which of the following might the author disagree with?
A.Train your brain to think in English.
B.Think in single words and start with nouns .

【3】What's the best title of the passage?
A.Train your brain to think in English.
B.Make your English learning naturally.
C.Form a good habit of translating English.
D.Translate your language into English.
28、A man in a very splendid restaurant started to take off his jacket. Seeing this, the head waiter dashed to his table and said, “ I’m afraid I must ask you to keep your jacket on, sir, for it is not good manners to do it in such a smart restaurant.”
“Now listen,” said the man, “I’ll let you know that the Queen of England gave me permission to remove my jacket here.” “The Queen of England?” said the waiter in great surprise. “Sure,” replied the man, “ When I was in England last month, a friend of mine who had a very important position in high society took me to see the Queen. It was rather hot, so I started taking my coat off. The Queen looked over and said, “You may do that in the United States, but you may not do it here. ” So I got the Queen’s permission, right?
【1】When the head waiter asked the man not to take off his jacket, the man ______.

29、Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were.
Many people like the action of cheating. In their opinion, it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test — unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they shouldn’t get that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before the day and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.
【1】The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, ______.
A.it is unfair to other people.
B.it does harm to their health.
C.teachers should punish them.
D.teachers shouldn’t stop them at once.
【2】Many people like cheating because they think ______.

B.they want to do better than the others.
C.cheating can make hard things seem very easy.

【3】The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A.some kids can’t pass the test without cheating
B.why kids cheat in the test.
C.cheating isn’t a good idea.
D.some kids don’t spend the time studying.
【4】We can learn from the passage _______.
A.cheaters are often thought highly of
B.people show no respect for those who cheat.
C.parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble.
D.kids cheat in the test because of swim practice.

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。
“Got your cellphone? Glasses? Wallet? ID? ”I asked.
“Yes, ”my husband Avraham smiled. “Can we go now? You’ve got to meet your interview before I go to see my patient at one o’clock. ”
“Right. Got your medical bag? ”
“Yes. ”
Even years after moving from North America, we still loved the half-hour drive to Jerusalem(耶路撒冷). The blue sky above the mountains, the trees, and the journey up to the Holy City always filled us with gratitude for living in Israel.
As we sped along, we came to our favorite part of the journey, where a wonderful view of Jerusalem suddenly appeared above the roadway. We had a good time and arrived at my meeting with time to spare.
After my interview, I met Avraham at our favorite cafe. Avraham ordered his daily iced coffee and a bag of fresh bread. Glancing at the clock, I suggested we go to see his patient.
Avraham had to visit an elderly woman in Jerusalem because her daughter had called the day before to arrange the appointment. As there were very few foot specialists in Israel, Avraham would travel all over the country to see patients requiring specialized foot care. He searched his pockets for a note on which he had written the address.
But the note was nowhere to be found.
“I don’t believe it! I must have left the address at home. ”
“Do you remember any part of the address? ”I asked.
“I remember that there was a number 17 in it, because it was part of my birth date. ”
“Do you know the street name? ”
“No. Just that it’s in this neighborhood. ”
I had heard the family name mentioned the day before and remembered it sounded like a European name. “Let’s try looking at buildings and see if the mailboxes can give us some help, ”I offered.
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。
We scanned the listings for the number 17 and two more nearby buildings.
