26、When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “ Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.
Liz Murray，a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.
Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. “ What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,” she wrote in her book Breaking Night.
She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they loved me all the time.”
Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “as simple as making a decision”.

27、I am drawn to the peace and pure beauty of primary nature. Being in it heightens my perceptions and narrows my focus. As I concentrate on the surroundings, an inner stillness fill me and helps mega in a sense of place. This was the case when I packed my camera equipment and explored some of Europe’s old-growth forests to highlight these unique environments that have remained untouched for centuries, despite threats of human disturbance.
The visits were often challenging because of unfavorable weather conditions and the distances I had to cover while going multiple times to the locations for a good picture. But the joy of the experience always prevailed. Hiking off trail through the foggy laurel forests of Madeira, I was enveloped by trees that may have been up to 800 years old and whose trunks provided me with shelter when clouds released a sudden down-pour. It felt like entering a holy space.
Wandering in the Scots pine forests of northern Sweden and the mountain tree lines of southern Norway rewarded me with the sense of freedom I always get in the Scandinavian wilderness. The beech (山毛榉) stands rising from the steep slopes of Italy kept me in awe of the power that forests protected from development can possess. I feel honoured that I was allowed access to explore and photograph these wonderlands.
Except Russia, only about 2 percent of the forest areas in Europe are primary, or have never been cleared, reflecting a dazzling richness of life that once filled vast wooded ecosystems. Most of the areas are now protected, but as the human population continues to grow—with disastrous impacts on the planet and its living creatures—the future of these forests is far from certain. I hope that they will still be standing for many centuries more.
【1】Why does the author like to explore the forests in Europe?
A．To help protect the vast ecosystems.
B．To experience the beauty and peace.
C．To improve his skill of taking photos.
D．To enjoy the feeling of being challenged.
【2】What does the underlined word “prevailed” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Won out.
B．Piled up.
C．Ran out.
D．Faded away.
【3】What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A．Most forests in Europe are kept as what they were.
B．People have free access to these primary forests.
C．The increasing population causes the destruction of forests.
D．The author prefers the trees of Norway to the beech stands in Italy.
【4】How does the author feel about the future of those primary forests?
A．Hopeful.
B．Concerned.
C．Uninterested.
D．Not clear.
28、In the United States, some once-loved stores are trying to understand decreasing sales, such as jewelry store Tiffany & Co, clothing store the GAP, and motorcycle store Harley Davidson. They are more than shopping places—they are brands, public images strongly linked with an object or a person.
But today’s younger Americans are not as interested in buying things from these brands as their parents. Instead, a store like Target has gained the attention and money of so-called millennials, people who became adults in the 21st century. Target is the 8th largest seller in the country. One reason is that it has changed its stores for a new generation of shoppers. For example, it started offering more natural foods and designer clothing. It also created a showroom for the latest kinds of things for the home.
Target’s success shows that the in-store experience remains important. Just 11 percent of retail sales (零售) are done on the Internet in America. That means 89 percent of buying is done in the traditional way: walking into a store. Target noticed that millennials are the country’s largest living generation. They want new things, not the old brands they grew up knowing. They also want adventures and experiences. Finally, they are very concerned with brands that feel authentic (真实的). Millennials think a real brand has a personality. In addition, the brand itself has values.
Brands that fail to appeal to young shoppers can quickly find themselves in trouble. Take Harley Davidson as an example, sales of motorcycles there have been decreasing since 2014. Now, young people prefer to use ride-sharing companies to move around. And most young people today do not shop at the Gap, whose clothes are so common that they look like a uniform for young Americans. Millennials want items that seem to be special.
【1】Why is the jewelry store Tiffany & Co mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．To compare with other stores.
B．To define what a public image is.
C．To explain why sales are decreasing.
D．To give an example of decreasing sales.
【2】How do millennials differ from their parents?
A．They prefer brands with values and personalities.
B．They are crazy about American traditional brands.
C．They prefer online shopping to in-store shopping.
D．They don’t like natural foods and designer clothes.
【3】Why is Target successful?
A．It meets millennials’ preferences.
B．It provides ride-sharing experiences.
C．It is the 8th largest seller in America.
D．It encourages the young to shop online.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Famous brands in America.
B．Shopping online VS in stores.
C．Millennials’ influence on brands.
D．American brands in great trouble.
29、It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
【1】Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A.The man’s job was bike racing. B.It was their only possession.
C.It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D.They used it for work and daily life.
【2】We can infer from the text that ____________.
A.the couple worked 60 hours a week. B.people were busy before Christmas
C.the stranger brought over the bike D.life was hard for the young family.
【3】How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A.From radio broadcasts. B.From a newspaper.
C.From TV news. D.From a stranger.
【4】What do the couple learn from their experience?
A.Strangers are usually of little help. B.One should take care of their bike.
C.News reports make people famous. D.An act of kindness can mean a lot.
