26、A walker seriously injured in a mountaintop lightning strike which killed two others is showing signs of improvement, the police have said. A major rescue operation was performed on Sunday following two strikes which hit the Brecon Beacons, South Wales. Two men died, while two others were taken to hospital.
A police spokeswoman said, “A man in a serious condition in hospital, following simultaneous(同时发生的)incidents in the Brecon Beacons, has now improved and he is recovering. Officers are continuing to get in touch with the next of relatives of the dead men and enquiries are ongoing. All men were believed to be from England.”
Mark Jones,of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team, described the lightning strike as a freak accident, and something he had not been called out to in 30 years of service.
The walking group Ramblers Cymru said that while incidents involving thunder and lightning were rare, electrical storms should be taken seriously by walkers.
The organisation's delivery officer, Elly Hannigan Popp, said, “We'd advise everyone to check the weather forecast before starting a walk. If you hear thunder, see lightning or if your hair stands on end, postpone activities even if the sky looks blue and clear. Lightning will strike as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Lightning can strike the same place repeatedly—especially tall, pointed, isolated objects.”
“If there is no shelter you should keep moving. And if you become the tallest object, crouch(蹲)in the open twice as far away from the nearest pointed object as it is tall. Make yourself as small as possible, stay on your toes and keep your heels together, as it will allow electricity to go up one foot, through the heels and back into the ground through the other.”
【1】What can we learn about the victims of the incident?
A．Both of the injured men are recovering slowly.
B．The bodies of the two men haven't been found.
C．The four men involved may be from the same country.
D．The police cannot contact the two dead men's relatives.
【2】Why did the author quote the police spokeswoman in Paragraph 2?
A．Because the accident is very serious.
B．To announce where the victims come from.
C．Because the police are looking into the accident.
D．To tell the readers some facts of the incident.
【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3?
A．Unusual.
B．Regular.
C．Unimportant.
D．Frightening.
【4】What do the last two paragraphs tell us?
A．Harm done by lightning.
B．Warnings from a delivery officer.
C．First aid in a lightning incident.
D．Safety tips on a lightning strike.
27、
Working or learning in a foreign country can be a difficult experience, both professionally and personally, because of the culture shock.
The hardest part of working abroad isn't finding a place to stay or learning the language. It's learning to overcome the culture shock. The anthropologist(人类学家) Kalvero Oberg first put forward the term 'culture shock'. He reported that the culture shock was caused by the 'anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse(社交) while living and working in another culture'.
These things are part of everyday life, and include many signs, gestures, facial expressions, and customs. When we enter a new culture, these cues(提示) are usually not present or so different that they're no longer understandable to us.
'When a person enters a foreign culture, ' wrote Oberg, 'all or most of these familiar cues are eliminated. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded he or she may be, lots of props(支柱) have been knocked out from the environment.'
This is what happened to Lara, a young IT consultant(顾问) from America moved last year to their company in southern Europe. Three weeks after she arrived in Europe, Lara sent a desperate e-mail begging to return home. 'The people are so unfriendly, ' Lara wrote. 'They eat at strange hours and I'm starting to get allergic(过敏的) to the local food. I can't get anything done because their way of doing business is so disorganized and so inefficient and I have a terrible skin itch because of the water. I want to come home!'
What Lara and other IT consultants meet on their first assignment abroad is a culture shock. While you can't prevent the culture shock from happening, you can take some measures to cut down its effects.
【1】What is the most difficult part for a foreign student?
A.Learning the foreign language. B.Adapting to the local culture.
C.Finding a right place to live. D.Entering a famous school.
【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 4?
A.observed B.removed
C.solved D.measured
【3】What happened to Lara when she arrived in Europe?
A.Her life got into a mess.
B.She worked more efficient than at home.
C.She couldn’t get on well with her colleagues.

【4】Why does the author describe Lara’s experience?
A.To show us where we’ll meet with the culture shock.
B.To show us how to adapt to the culture shock.
C.To explain to us what the culture shock is.
D.To tell us how she manages to work well.
【5】What would be talked about in the paragraph that follows the last one?
A.Why Lara wants to come home.
B.Who will come across the culture shock.
C.What a person meets in a foreign culture.
D.How a person adapts to the culture shock.
28、 One of the first things that Jim discovered while living with the Greens was that there were different television channels（频道）in Britain, the BBC broadcasts on two channels: BBC1 and BBC2. There is a mixture of serious and light programmes on BBC1; there are mainly serious programmes on BBC2. ITV is an independent（独立的）channel which carries advertisements（广告）. There are no advertisements on the BBC, so everyone must pay some money to the BBC each year. There are both serious and light programmes on ITV. Because of the different channels, it is not surprising that you often see each member in Mg. Green’s house wants to choose his or her own favorite channel. This is the sort of thing you hear:
“There’s sports programme on ITV.”
“What’s that, children?”
“We were wondering if we could watch the sports programme on ITV.”
“But I was wondering whether to watch the other programme on BBC1.” And so on. The children like ITV; mother prefers BBC1; father prefers BBC2. Jim hasn’t made up his mind.
【1】There are no advertisements on .
A.ITV B.BBC1 only
C.BBC2 only D.BBC1, nor on BBC2
【2】What programme did the children want to watch?
A.A sports programme. B.A serious programme.
C.A light programme. D.An advertisement.
【3】How many persons are mentioned in the passage?
A.Three. B.Four.
C.Five. D.At least five.
29、 Working on a farm and taking care of crops can be hot, time-consuming and difficult. Engineers have long wanted to build robots to lighten the load. But it has proved a difficult task. Robots that walk or roll along the ground can step on the easily damaged plants heavily. And they have to stop working when rain turns fields muddy. “Tarzan”, however, could deal with some of those challenges.
Jonathan Rogers is a robotics expert at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. When it comes to a farm environment, he realized robots would face many problems. “Many robots tend to get twisted(弯曲的) together or get stuck,”he says. What's more, he notes, "It's very hard to leave them out for long periods without a human helping them.”
What if the robot could move above the crops? Jonathan Rogers says, “The sloths(树懒)move from tree branch to tree branch to avoid having to walk around the forest floor. "Then his team set out to design a robot that could swing hand to hand along wires hung above the field. He named their invention Tarzan after the jungle-swinging character in a movie.
Tarzan is not the first swinging robot. Mark Spong, a robotics researcher at the University of Texas at Dallas notes that some teams have built robots that do gymnastics or copy mammals. But he says he admires Tarzan for its using swinging movement to save energy and the idea of building a wire structure to move around above crops.
Rogers first predicted that Tarzan could help farmers monitor crops with sensors (传感器) and cameras. But he also said future robots might take water to a particularly thirsty plant or fertilize one that needs nutritional support. And adding a third “hand”could allow such a robot to harvest fruits and vegetables. Finally the robot could move off the farm and into the city, helping deal with the traffic and security.
【1】What worried the engineers when they built the farm robots?
A.They took up too much space.
B.They made the farming process slow.
C.They had difficulty exploring in fields.
D.They caused certain damage to crops.
【2】What does Jonathan Rogers think about most farm robots?
A.They take much time to make.
B.They get out of date more easily.
C.They depend too much on people.
D.They get used to the environment slowly.
【3】What attracts Mark Spong most about Tarzan?
A.Its strong wings. B.Its low cost
C.Its creative design D.Its powerful engine.
【4】How did Jonathan Rogers feel about Tarzan’s future?
A.It could be found everywhere.
B.It could be put into more practical uses.
C.It could be used to do all the farm work.
D.It could be popular with working people in cities.

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music
It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”
But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团) ?
A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.
We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.
But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.
They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.
Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.
【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的) experiences can transform people.
