26、Until the invention of the steam engine, humans traveled the earth on foot. The slow travel meant that explorers frequently returned with stories about distant lands: some of them wild tales, some honest descriptions.
Barbara Klion, who has retired, knows what that’s like. As a walker who has toured Australia, Kenya and China on foot, her trips are the modern edition of an ancient tradition. For years, Klion and her husband, now 75 and 80 years old, traveled independently.
Walkers know that seeing the world on foot gives them a rare experience. Often travelers are attracted by local people and customs. They also get a beautiful and lasting impression of the scenery. Walking tours can be done in one’s backyard, but there are several destinations around the world that expose travelers to the best of nature and culture.
What to look for? A famous guide says that the essentials of a quality walk are great scenery, tolerable1 weather, suitable level of difficulty and something like ecology, history or culture. These may seem like unclear instructions, but the fun of walking tours is that many things are determined by the traveler.
Someone who appreciates hot climates, wildlife and flat areas could choose a walking tour in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park. Travelers who don’t mind the cold and enjoy adventure could hike Patagonia, an area of southern Argentina east of the Andes.
In general, independent travelers can decide how far to go each day, while guests of a tour agency should expect to walk an average of four to eight miles a day. At the Fordland National Park, for example, there are several easy-to-difficult hikes, giving travelers many choices.
【1】Which of the following does NOT make a quality walking?
A.Great scenery.
B.Tolerable weather.
C.A helpful companion.
D.Suitable level of difficulty.
【2】According to the passage, compared with guests of a tour agency, independent travelers .
A.can walk farther B.have more choices
C.face more difficulties D.spend less
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards walking tours?
A.Indifferent. B.Negative.
C.Worried. D.Supportive.
【4】The best title for the passage might be “ ”.
A.See the World on Foot
B.Barbara Klion, a Great Traveler
C.What to Look for
D.The Fun of Walking
27、 If there is one person who has left a deep impression on me,it’s my teacher,Mrs Pathak,who was my class teacher for three years. In my childhood,how I wished I had a mother or a sister like her. One moment she could be tough (严厉的) and strict,another moment caring and compassionate (富有同情心的).
She always encouraged us to tell the truth. For instance,if one had not done the homework,he need not lie. She allowed us to make mistakes,saying we couldn’t be perfect all the time,but we should try.
Another thing she taught me early on was punctuality. She set a good example with her own behavior. She was always on time,so we students tried our best to be on time.
She surprised us with her sense of humour. Her classroom teaching was always humorous. After class,she talked to us and told us jokes.
We really felt free to ask questions and Mrs Pathak would give the answers. If she did not know—there had been some occasions (场合)—she would say so. We all then tried to find out the answers. Whoever came up with the answer was appreciated and given the due credit (应有的称赞).Now I sometimes wonder whether Mrs Pathak was pretending just to encourage us to explore and find answers by ourselves.
【1】According to the passage,which of the following is NOT suitable for describing Mrs Pathak?
A.Tough. B.Humorous. C.Compassionate. D.Careful.
【2】The underlined word “punctuality” in the third paragraph probably means “ ”.
A.being on time B.being honest C.being patient D.being clean
【3】In the author’s opinion,why didn’t Mrs Pathak give the answers to the questions sometimes?
A.Because she didn’t like answering the questions.
B.Because she didn’t know the answers to the questions.
C.Because she wanted the students to find them out by themselves.
D.Because she thought the students knew the answers already.
28、E-reading and e-books are slowly conquering the world. Compared to traditional paper books, e-books in some schools and universities attract more interest because the information flow seems much easier to manage and comes in a greatly higher quantity.
Japan is known for the reform-minded attitude towards the gadget(精巧装置)world and for the fact that it is one of the first countries that encouraged in the educational system the emailing of homework.
The digital textbook looks like the logical step in the world of learning. It is natural but it is also completely untraditional.
The plan of the largest publishing companies to get in line with the trend is to save a large quantity of paper and make the kids become interested in learning using a cool gadget. Many USA universities and colleges have made students be used to the procedure of downloading the courses and of course the procedure involves interactive software and also the chance of using the computer.
The traditional education system is still unwilling when it comes to giving up books. The standard approach of information taught out of a book and Shakespeare read out of an old school novel makes studying English as traditional as it can be.
In a world where kids would rather see the movie than read a book, the digital age has brought along a completely different flavor to reading. Bringing that flavor in school will make teaching a greener and also a completely different matter.
【1】Why are e-books so popular in the world?
A. It’s cheap to buy.
B. It’s effective to use.
C. It’s convenient to bring.
D. It’s the latest fashion.
【2】Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “reform-minded” in the second paragraph?

【4】What’s the author’s attitude to the digital textbooks?
A. Being against. B. Being for.
C. Not mentioned. D. Being neutral.
