26、A few weeks ago, I drove down a back road in West Virginia. Sometime after I passed Spruce Mountain, my phone lost service—and I knew it would remain silent for the next few days. I was heading toward Green Bank, a town that agrees to the ban (禁止) on technology in the United States. The people there do without not only cellphones but also Wi-Fi , microwave ovens, and any other devices that create signals.
The ban is to protect the Green Bank Observatory, a group of radio telescopes (无线电望远镜)in a mountain valley. The telescopes are very powerful for human beings. Scientists travel here to measure gravitational (引力的) waves in the space. Astronomers study the stars. It has also become a destination for alien hunters who hope to discover messages there sent from other planets. And in the past ten years, the town has become a destination for people who believe they’re sick of cellphone towers.
I came in hopes of finding a certain kind of wildness and solitude (独处). I live in Massachusetts, and I often disappear into the forests and rivers to clear my head. I've always loved the moment when the bars on my phone disappear. When I’m out of range entirely, time grows elastic (有弹性的). I feel deeply free.
In theory, I could achieve this kind of freedom anywhere by shutting off my cellphone. But that has never worked for me—and I doubt it doesn't for most other people either. Turn off your phone and you will turn it on again. To experience the deepest solitude, you need to enter the land where the Internet ends.
【1】What can be found in Spruce Mountain?
A.Digital devices.
B.Available smartphones.
C.Radio telescopes.
D.Cellphone towers.
【2】What kind of people may choose to go to Spruce Mountain?
A.Supporters of green life.
B.People against cellphones.
C.Passionate hunters for wildlife.
D.Scientists exploring the earth.
【3】How can you achieve real freedom according to the author?
A.Shut off your phones and you will feel free.
B.Switch your phone into flight mode.
C.Go to Spruce Mountain in person.
D.Go to somewhere without the Internet.
27、A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlors(客厅) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.
This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is not unusual for me to get hot under the collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.
There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies — a disease with no known cure.
Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the "sweet little thing" has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on "Rover" or "Bonzo". Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run free. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone's pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.
Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it's time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say, “keep cutting!”
【1】The doggy parlors are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show ________.
A.where Americans keep their pets
B.what costly lives the pets are living
C.why children love their pets so much
D.how much pets depend on their masters
【2】In the second paragraph "to get hot under the collar" probably means ________.
A.getting quite hot
B.feeling overwhelmingly angry
C.becoming excited
D.receiving a fashionable shirt
【3】According to the author, in which field can animals be most useful?
A.Pet.
B.Food.
C.Medicine.
D.Sports.
【4】What is author’s attitude towards pets-raising?
A.Pitiful.
B.Neutral.
C.Opposed.
D.Supportive.
28、阅读理解。
It is reported that conservation groups(自然环境保护小组)in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves.Some groups believe wolves should be killed.Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness(荒野)
For Killing Wolves
In Alaska,the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago,because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport.However, laws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur.So the wolf population has greatly increased.Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.
A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family.People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food.Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life.When the deer can’t find enough food,they die.
If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer,their prey(猎物)will disappear some day.And the wolves will.too.So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology(生态学).If we killed more wolves,we would save them and their prey from dying out.We’d also save some farm animals.
In another northern state,wolves attack cows and chickens for food.Farmers want the government to send biologists(生物学家) to study the problem.They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population.
Against Killing Wolves
If you had lived long ago,you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf.According to most stories,hungry wolves often kill people for food.Even today,the stories of the “big bad wolf'"will not disappear.
But the fact is that wolves are afraid of people.and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell.When wolves eat other animals,they usually kill the very young or the sick and injured.The strongest survive.No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had not lived.And has always been a law of nature.
Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves,we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance.The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.
The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people.Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs, the wolves can’t always find enough food.So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm.Then there is danger.The “big bad wolf” has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.
【1】According to the passage,some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCET that .
A.there are too many wolves
B.they kill large numbers of deer
C.they attack cows and chickens for food
D.they destroy the wilderness plant life
【2】Some people are against killing wolves because .
A.wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wilderness
B.there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness
C.there are too many deer in the wilderness
D.wolves are afraid of people and never attack people
【3】According to those against killing wolves,when wolves eat other animals, .
A.they never eat strong and healthy ones
B.they always go against the law of nature
C.they might help this kind of animals survive in nature
D.they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness
【4】The last sentence “And everyone knows what happens next” implies that in such cases .
A.farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped away
B.wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill them
C.wolves will find enough food sources on farms
D.people will leave the areas where wolves can live
29、Of all the world’s languages,English probably has the widest range of dictionaries.【1】This article looks at some of the ways to help you find the right one.
Number of words
【2】The smaller dictionaries need to be particularly careful about deciding what words to include.Typically,desk dictionaries include 100,000 to 180,000 words and unabridged(未删减版)dictionaries include more than 265,000 words.
Order of meanings
In different dictionaries,meanings of the same word may not be presented in the same order.This is a difference that matters a great deal to users.【3】It is convenient to most users.Dictionaries on historical rules,however,present the oldest meaning first.
Illustrative quotations(引语)
To show how a particular word is used,most dictionaries include example sentences.Some dictionaries use made-up sentences,which are made by the editors of the dictionary on purpose to explain a word.【4】.
Illustrations
Sometimes it is easier to explain the meaning of a word using an illustration than using words alone.This is when you need visual dictionaries(图解词典).【5】Each image and each part of an image is named to tell you what it is.
A.These dictionaries are collections of images.
B.We should make the best of every dictionary.
C.No dictionary can include every word that you may encounter.
D.Other dictionaries use sentences from published or recorded sources.
E.This wide range makes it difficult for students to choose among them.
F.In desk dictionaries,the order depends on how common each meaning is used.
G.The most commonly used dictionary is Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary.

31、用所给单词的首字母或者你认为合适的词的正确形式填空,每空只填一词。
G【1】 up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, the author has enjoyed food from both countries ever since she was able to hold a knife and fork — and chopsticks!
Although her dad has come to love some of the food from her mother’s hometown, there are some dishes that he dare not try even after many years of m【2】 to her mother. He was even surprised by【3】 he saw on the table when he first came to China.
But the author enjoys that sort of food herself. Last week, she went to the butcher’s and asked, “Do you have pigs’ ears?” “No,” the butcher said, p【4】at his own ears, “just these o【5】 ones.” It’s because he must have thought she was joking.
Her dad can cook a super “full English breakfast” and also does a t【6】. Sunday roast, but her mum says they’d better not eat too much roast food【7】 it may make them suffer from heat inside their bodies, according to traditional Chinese medicine.
When the author first visited China, she came across stinky tofu, which she thought smelt like a b【8】 sports shoe, but she g【9】 all her courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn’t so bad.
There is a saying that one man’s meat is another man’s p【10】, but the author feels at home with food from both cultures and she believes that there’s nothing better than a cross-cultural afternoon tea of English biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolong tea in a fine china cup.
