26、 Although many countries love their tea,UK citizens are particularly proud of being"tea people". The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.
Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century.Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time. Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes.
There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common type drunk in the UK. Black tea is dark in colour, because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize(氧化)before drying. This is why we usually serve it with milk, although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon. You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into the best china cups with saucers(茶托)for visitors.
Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today,but it seems to be on the decrease.The amount of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10%in the five years leading up to 2002,and has been dropping ever since.Tea sales fell by 6%in 2014 alone,and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea. More than £ 1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2013,more than twice what was spent on tea bags.
Still, what goes around comes around; it's sure to become fashionable again.
【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Tea sales have fallen by 6%since 2014.
B.Most restaurant like selling tea than coffee.
C.In 2013, the money spent on tea was f 3 billion.
D.Since 2002, the sales of tea have been on the decrease.
【3】What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?

27、 Are you always dreaming of getting paid for just showing up to work? To the best of luck, the Korsvagen train station in Sweden will offer a special occupation to one lucky person in 2025! The comfortable lifetime position comes with a generous starting monthly pay of 21,564 SEK ($2,320), a guaranteed (有保证的) yearly pay increase of 3.2 percent, and even vacation time.
The position was put forward by Swedish artists Simon Goldin and Jakob Senneby in answer to a design competition for the Korsvagen train station, which is now under construction and planned to open in 2026. Instead of presenting an artistic design, Goldin and Senneby suggested using the 7,000,000 SEK ($753,000) prize money to hire a lifetime employee to do nothing! Surprisingly, the unusual idea appealed to the judges of the competition, who adopted the suggestion and announced their decision to carry out the Eternal (终生的) Employment Project.
The job only requires the lucky employee to arrive at the station each morning and ring the clock, which will turn on a bank of bright lights. The person can remain at the station all day —greeting passengers, texting friends, or even sleeping — or leave and return at the end of the day to clock out.
The job is guaranteed for life as long as he/she obeys these simple requirements and does not accept any other employment. Though the job sounds like a waste of life, the artists believe the employee will be doing important work to act as a witness (见证) of time.
The best part is that people from all over the world can apply to be considered for this unique position equally — be sure not to miss it!
【1】Which of the following best explains “appealed to” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Attracted. B. Panicked. C. Bothered. D. Amused.
【2】What must the employee do according to his/her duty?
A. Contact friends. B. Work part-time.
C. Welcome passengers. D. Ring the clock each morning.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Lifetime Job to Be Offered for Doing Nothing
B. How the Eternal Employment Project Was Born
C. Swedish Artists Won a Design Competition
D. An Outstanding Employee Wanted
28、How to Make a Complaint in English
Most of us do not enjoy complaining. But sometimes we must do it to get a solution.【1】. An effective English complaint often has the following three steps.
Explain the problem
To do it effectively, you must use polite and respectful language.【2】.For example, if you are at a restaurant and the server forgets to bring your drink, saying “You didn’t bring my drink” may be too direct. It may sound critical and cause the server to become defensive. So you can use phrases to politely explain your problem.
State your feelings
This step is often not necessary.【3】. Some problems have easy and quick solutions. For example, politely telling people that they forgot something or overcharged you usually leads to a speedy solution. But imagine that you are receiving poor service.【4】. In these cases, you need to politely express how you feel.
【5】
The third step is to ask for action to be taken on the problem. This is an important step. Depending on who the listener is, you or they may need to ask someone else to take action.
A.Ask for action
B.Blame the problem on them
C.You should avoid complaining
D.It will depend on how bad the problem is
E.In English,polite language is usually indirect
F.Today,we will tell you how to make a complaint in English
G.Or,maybe there is a continuing problem in your apartment building
29、Running and walking are both excellent forms of exercise. Those who regularly do either usually have healthier hearts, stronger bones and lower body weights than those who do little exercise. But does it matter whether you spend time walking or running? Arguments can be made for both, and which is right for you depends on your goals and your present fitness level.
“The key difference between running and walking is how many calories you are burning—not per mile, but per minute of exercise says Paul D. Thompson, a doctor at Hartford Hospital.” “Running is a more-efficient (高效的) movement and it’s more demanding on the body, so it bums more calories per minute,” Thompson says. “But if you’ve got the time to walk long enough to bum the same amount of calories, then walking is fine.” That said, if your final goal is to lose weight, chances are that neither running nor walking alone is going to do the trick. Research has shown that it needs to be done along with calorie control.
In a recent study that analyzed data from nearly 50,000 people, researchers found that runners’ risk of heart disease was 4.5 percent lower than that of those who were inactive. But walkers who burned the same amount of calories daily had a risk level that was 9 percent lower than those who were inactive.
“Running gets the reputation (名声) for causing injuries because many people who are just starting to run try to do too much too quickly,” says Carol Ewing Garber, a professor at Columbia University. “And they often get injured as a result. If you want to progress from walking to running, do it slowly, gradually increasing your speed, distance and the frequency of your rums.
Running may be more highly-intense (高强度的) and calorie-burning than walking, but walking is a great way to ease into exercise and make sure you are staying physically active every day. The bottom line is that getting exercise of any kind is beneficial—if you keep doing it.
“The best exercise is the one you are going to do,” Thompson says. “There are extra benefits to be gained from running, but what’s most important from a public health point of view is that everyone gets out and does some kind of exercise?”
【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A．Exercise on its own is not enough to lose weight.
B．Walking is better than running for busy people.
C．Running can reduce people’s fat quickly and safely.
D．Walking is more demanding on the body.
【2】What can we learn from the recent study?
A．Running bums fewer calories than walking.
B．Walkers are more likely to get heart disease than runners.
C．Walking can reduce the risk of having heart disease.
D．Inactive people are free from heart problems.
【3】Which of the following would Thompson most probably agree with?
A．We’d better walk slowly.
B．Just walk before you run.
C．We’d better choose to run.
D．Any exercise is better than none.
30、What does it mean to be a hero? I think a hero is someone who goes out of his way to make others happy. My hero is Mr. Wright, my chorus (合唱队) teacher.
When I was 12 years old, my grandparents passed away. I was really close to them, and losing them was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to ________ through. I couldn’t eat, sleep, or think; I felt like I couldn't even breathe. It was as if my whole world had fallen down from under me, and I ________ into this huge hole of depression (抑郁).
________ I was battling depression, I was determined to make my high school years the best of my life. It was difficult to be ________ , but I had to try. I joined Women’s Choir. Mr. Wright was the choral director and he was so funny that the first day, I just knew I had made the best ________ of my life.
As the year progressed, I loved chorus more and more. I began to smile again and really enjoy life.
Then one day that all changed. My friends—or those that I thought were my friends—started talking about me behind my back. I was hurt , and I sat by myself. Mr. Wright came over and asked what was wrong. The look in his eyes told me that I could ________ him. Trying hard to ________ back tears, I told him the whole story.
When I finished, he nodded and told me, “If you never learn anything from me, learn this: No one is worth ________ your joy. ” What Mr. Wright said really ________ a chord (心弦）in my heart. He ________ cared about me and what was going on. I’ll never be able to thank him enough, because he not only saved me but has ________ every day of my life since. Any time I feel like giving up, I remember Mr. Wright's words and push forward.
I’m proud to say that I ________ my depression, and I'm now a senior. I’m still a part of chorus, and now I'm also in the best choir at my school.
Mr. Wright is a hero to everyone he meets. He cares about every single person who walks through his door, and he loves what he does more than any other teacher I've known. That’s ________ he deserves to be Educator of the Year. He deserves the ________ not just this year but every year.
