26、Amanda Gorman, a 22-year-old poet, recited her poem The Hill We Climb at the recent Presidential Inauguration (就职) Ceremony. Her words and performance were wonderful and were admired across the world. But what is even more wonderful is the story of how Amanda arrived at this moment and the lessons she offers other kids around the world.
Amanda was raised by a single mother, Joan Wicks, in Los Angeles. There was very limited television watching in their house. Encouraged by her mother, who was a teacher, Amanda fell in love with reading and writing. She gained confidence in these areas. Her passion for poetry started when she was about 8 years old.
But despite her interests and talents, she had some obstacles. Amanda has a listening processing disorder and is very sensitive to sound. She also had a speech disorder during childhood. This caused her to participate in speech treatment which helped her to turn her obstacles into gifts and strengths. As she told The Harvard Gazette in 2018, “I always saw it as a strength because since I was experiencing these obstacles in terms of my listening and speech skills, I became really good at reading and writing.”
Amanda started to dream of becoming president when she was in 6th grade. As Amanda became more confident, she became more driven to transform the world for good. She went on to earn a degree at Harvard University. And then, Amanda became the world’s first Youth Poet Laureate (获奖者) in history!
While Amanda looked calm, cool, and collected at the inauguration, she admits she is always nervous, like many of us, about public speaking. To ease this, she developed a spell that she recites to give herself confidence in moments of doubt, “I am the daughter of black writers. We are descendants (子孙) of freedom fighters who broke through chains and changed the world.”
【1】What do we know about Amanda Gorman?
A．She took to reading and writing thanks to her teacher.

【2】What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Worries .
B．Changes.
C．Strengths.
D．Disabilities.
【3】How did Amanda overcome her nervousness about public speech?
A．By seeking support from some black writers.
B．By practicing the speech context repeatedly.
C．By reciting a special sentence to herself.
D．By talking to freedom fighters before the speech.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To share a funny story.
B．To educate disabled kids.
C．To record a wonderful moment.
D．To encourage more children.
27、 The Great Wall of China winds across the country like a giant stone snake. It is 1,500 miles long, the Wall crosses mountains and rivers. It reaches from the ocean on the east to the desert on the west. The Chinese began their Wall more than 2,000 years ago. They worked on it for hundreds of years. The Chinese wanted to keep out their enemies. At the bottom, the Wall is 25 feet wide. At the top it is about 15 feet wide. The sides of the wall are made of stone and brick, while the inside is filled with earth. Parts of the Wall rise as high as three-storey buildings. Every 100 yards along the Great Wall there is a watchtower where soldiers used to stand to watch for enemies approaching(到来). The road on top of the Wall is wide enough for two wagons(马车) to pass. If we were to build such a Wall now, we would use modern machines. But the Chinese had to build the Wall all by hand. If the Wall were in our country, it would reach from the state of New York to Nebraska. The Great Wall of China is the longest wall ever built.

28、High School Study Skills
Excited about starting high school? You should be! High school is one of the most fantastic experiences of your life! 【1】 This is the time when you begin to develop the skills that you will use in college and in the working world. As you go forward in these important years, you should change your study habits and skills.
Improve note-taking skills. To some degree, high school will bring a new challenge for students who learned to rely on textbooks during junior school. 【2】 This means students must learn to take notes with careful attention — or the information will be lost! The key to take good notes is identifying the most important things to write down.
【3】 One skill that doesn’t get so much attention is the ability to really listen! In order to take good class notes, you need to listen carefully in class and mark each word that is repeated. Once you learn to become an active listener, you will be able to study much better.
Get ready for class discussions. As you are preparing for the next day, write down anything that might worth a good discussion. 【4】 When classroom discussions do arise, you should record important points on different opinions. This is the sort of thing that will pay off on your test.
Get more organized. In junior school you learned to use many folders, and you met different teaching styles. This continues in high school; you will have to become more organized and take on much more responsibility when it comes to keeping track of homework. 【5】
A．Learn how to listen better.
B．Be prepared to discuss further.
C．Think about what to note down.
D．Remember to increase your test prepare time.
E．In fact, high school sets the stage for college and adulthood.
F．It’s important to keep checklists to complete all of your homework.
G．In high school, teachers will introduce some new ideas beyond textbooks.
29、Now most of the workers work from 9 am to 5 pm. However, according to the global Internet survey done by the UK Sleep Council, the siesta （午睡）was the right idea all along. The UK Sleep Council called on the country's bosses to end nine-to-five working in favor of more flexible hours. They believe what would really increase the workers' productivity is a nice afternoon nap, rather than those bonuses.
Forty-one percent of the 12,000 people who responded to the council's survey said they were most productive in the morning, while 38 percent said they hit their stride in the evening. "This means most of them cannot fully pay attention to what they do in the middle of the day," said sleep expert Dr. Chris Idzikowskii. "We must conclude from this survey that the traditional nine-to-five working day does not suit most workers." He suggested that allowing workers to follow their natural sleeping habits would actually benefit employers by allowing them to expand their working hours and be more productive.
Fortunately, being a college lecturer, I don't have to go to work everyday. I only work three days a week, but during the three days I work really long hours and have no time for a little siesta. I'm usually so tired and sleepy in the afternoon, which really affects the vitality （活力）of my classes.
I think Dr. Chris Idzikowskii's idea is worthwhile. When people have flexible working hours they could reach their highest productivity. On top of that, flexible working hours mean that people don't have to work all at the same time. That way we could avoid traffic jams. Therefore, it's really killing two birds with one stone!
【1】What can improve the workers' productivity, according to the UK Sleep Council?
A．More bonuses.
B．The flexible working time.
C．Working for long hours.
D．Working in a relaxing way.
【2】What does the underlined part probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A．Were most sleepy.
B．Were most flexible.
C．Worked at their own pace.
D．Worked at their best.
【3】What did the UK Sleep Council's survey find?
A．Few people are suitable to work at noon.
B．People are more productive in the morning.
C．Some people like to expand their working hours.
D．More and more people prefer to work in the evening.
【4】Why does the author support Dr. Chris Idzikowskii's idea?
A．It could solve most of the traffic problems.
B．He finds Dr. Chris Idzikowskii respectable.
C．He thinks the idea can benefit the society.
D．It allows him to work for fewer hours.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
When Jessica and her husband Edward welcomed their first child, they quickly understood that parenting would not be easy.Edward owned a textile(纺织品) business in Texas，but it was struggling. With a baby at home now, expenses went up, while income stayed the same or even went down in some months.There was constantly a lack of money.
Luckily, Edward's business grew slowly, and Jessica managed to save some money. But just when it appeared that they would be having a less stressful month, another problem knocked at their door : the washing machine broke down again.
After considering her options, Jessica realized that there was no point in getting the machine repaired. Jessica sat down to search online for a machine that she could afford. An hour of searching led her to one good find, but it cost $250, and Jessica could only afford to pay $150. In the end, she decided to see the owner James in person.
Upon arrival，a man opened the door.There was sadness in his eyes.“ How may I help you? ” he asked. “ Hi! I’m Jessica. I messaged you regarding the washing machine. Can I have a look at it? ”“Oh，sure. Come in,” James said. It seemed that the man was planning to move away.
“ Well, I hope you remember I said I wanted to talk about the price，” Jessica said embarrassedly.“I can't extend my budget beyond $150. We just had a baby, and you know things are not so well financially, so I am wondering if you could give me a discount?”
James stood there silently for a while. The woman’s sincere request made him think about his wife again，who had just passed away. He remembered she once told him that if he had the resources，he should help those who are less fortunate.Then he nodded his head in agreement.“Sure. $150 sounds like a good deal to me，” he said. Jessica’s eyes widened in surprise.“Really? You are so nice. Thank you so much!”
Paragraph 1:
As Jessica entered the room, she saw the white machine.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
