26、The people who built Stonehenge in southern England thousands of years ago had wild parties, eating barbecued pigs and breaking pottery. This is according to recent work by archaeologists—history experts who investigate (调查) how human beings lived in the past.
Archaeologists digging near Stonehenge last year discovered the remains of a large prehistoric village where they think the builders of the mysterious stone circle used to live.
The village is about 4600 years old, the same age as Stonehenge and as old as the pyramids in Egypt. It is less than two miles from the famous ancient landmark and lies inside a massive manmade circular dirt wall, or “henge”， known as the Durrington Walls.
Remains found at the site included jewellery, stone arrowheads, tools made of deer antlers, wooden spears and huge amounts of animal bones and broken pottery. “These finds suggest Stone Age people went to the village at special times of the year to feast and party”， says Mike Parker Pearson from Sheffield University in England.
He said many of the pig bones they found had been thrown away halfeaten. He also said the partygoers appeared to have shot some of the farm pigs with arrows, possibly as a kind of sport before barbecuing them.
An ancient road which led from the village to the River Avon was also found. Here, the experts think, people came after their parties to throw dead relatives in the water so the bodies would be washed downstream to Stonehenge.
Parker Pearson believes Stonehenge was like a cemetery where ancient Britons buried the dead and remembered their ancestors. “The theory is that Stonehenge is a kind of spirit home to the ancestors.”
The recent discovery of the village within the Durrington Walls shows that Stonehenge didn't stand alone but was part of a much bigger religious site, according to Parker Pearson.
People still come to worship and celebrate at Stonehenge today. They meet there when the sun sets on the shortest day of winter and when it rises on the longest day of summer. But the days of barbecuing whole pigs there and throwing family members into the river are a thing of the past.
【1】What was Stonehenge according to the text?
A.A village where hundred of people once lived.
B.A place that regularly hosted large parties.
C.A church where local villagers would get married.
D.A site where dead people were placed or remembered.
【2】From the text we can infer that the people who came to the village ________.
A.liked to drink wine B.knew how to hunt
C.were from Egypt D.lived by the River Avon
【3】What do experts think people did after the village parties?
A.Returned to live at Stonehenge.
B.Prayed for good luck in the new year.
C.Hunted farm pigs as a sport.
D.Put their dead relatives in the river.
【4】When do people most often go to Stonehenge today?
A.When a new discovery is made.
B.At the beginning of summer and winter.
C.On the longest and shortest days of the year.
D.When they want to have a barbecue.
27、 Everyone needs a healthy diet plan. This is especially important when we are first making the change to a new food lifestyle. 1 say lifestyle, because diets just don't work. You will always find yourself struggling as long as you think of your eating habits based on a diet rather than a lifestyle.
What you eat will be determined from what you believe about health and nutrition. If you believe there is no connection between health and the food you eat, you will eat whatever "tastes right" to you, no matter what it is doing to your health. However, if you believe that the human body is an unbelievable self-healing （自愈的）machine that only requires the right fuel （nutrition） to maintain health, then you will choose your foods thus.
A healthy diet plan must be based on what is best for your body. If you are concerned about your taste buds（味蕾）,don't worry they will catch up. They have likely been programmed to think they want fats and salts. It may be hard for you to imagine doing without all those processed foods you've been eating. But it won't be long after you start following a healthy diet plan that your taste buds will long for what is really good for you.
It will take some time for your body to acclimate to your new diet plan, just as developing any new positive habit does. But trust me, your body knows what it needs. Once you start feeding it the nutrition it requires, your body, including your taste, will respond positively.
The healthy diet plan we advise is one that includes as much whole, raw food as possible. Our personal meal planning includes a lot of raw food, whole foods and little to no animal products. Our meal plans include as many dark green and other brightly colored vegetables as possible.
The final tip I have for you as you make the change to a healthy diet meal plan is knowledge, knowledge, knowledge. Having the right knowledge will be one of your keys to success.
【1】What should we change first to have a healthy diet plan?
A．Our lifestyle.
B．Our eating habits.
C．Our taste buds.
D．Our ways of thinking.
【2】What does the author expect us to do according to Paragraph 2?
A．Eat whatever tastes right.
B．Take foods for your health.
C．Exercise on a regular basis.
D．Eat foods rich in fats and salts.
【3】What can we infer from the passage about our taste buds?
A．They will stick to what we are used to eating.
B．They will become weak if we change our diet.
C．They can only respond to refined foods.
D．They can change with our diet plan.
【4】What does the underlined phrase " acclimate to" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Object to.
B．Get used to.
C．Survive from.
D．Get over.
28、With a growing number of people in San Francisco choosing not to own a car, German car-making company BMW has decided to branch out into car-sharing services with 70 cars spread around the city, first in 14 locations, with a further 100 being added gradually.
“This is not an A-to-A service — it is A-to-B,” says Richard Steinberg, chief executive of the DriveNow scheme (方案), pointing out that members can pick up a car downtown for the half-hour drive to the airport for only $12, compared with about $40-50 for a taxi.
Whether that is possible in real life depends on traffic, of course. A midmorning drive from Union Square down Highway 101 to the airport takes just 22 minutes; however, driving back during the rush hour takes twice as long.
Most of the cars that are stuck in San Francisco’s traffic jams are giving off all sorts of harmful gas. But not DriveNow’s BMW ActiveE cars.
“All the cars in San Francisco are electric,” Mr. Steinberg says.
In San Francisco, handing back the car to DriveNow is easy — just pick one of its drop-off points, park and walk away. There are no forms to fill in, no time-consuming rules.
Several other carmakers and other players within the motor industry are experimenting with similar schemes, for example Daimler’s Car2go scheme, which is operated in many cities around the world.
“We picture a future where car-sharing members outnumber car owners in big cities around the world,” says Car2go spokesman Andreas Leo.
Franck Leveque, from company Frost & Sullivan, agrees.
“Car sharing is growing at a pace we have not seen before,” he says. “By 2020 we believe there will be 15 million members of car-sharing schemes in Europe alone, with 140,000 vehicles in operation.”
【1】What does the underlined part “branch out into” probably mean?
A．Start offering.
B．Try improving.
C．Make use of.
D．Take control of.
【2】The DriveNow scheme ________.
A．works better in rush-hour traffic
B．makes city driving less dangerous
C．encourages people to buy a cheap car
D．allows drivers to pay money to use a car
【3】What’s special about BMW ActiveE cars?
A．They drive much faster than other cars.
B．They never get stuck in heavy traffic.
C．They don’t harm the environment.
D．They need less gas to run.
【4】What does Franck think of the future of car sharing?
A．Worrying.
B．Hopeful.
C．Uncertain.
D．Disappointing.
29、Any actor would admit that it's tricky to play roles based on real people. They need to do mountains of research to make sure they're staying as true to life as possible. Besides, they try to add their own touches to the performance so that their work can be called their own.
American actor Andrew Garfield, 33, faced that dilemma when playing Desmond Doss in the film Hacksaw Ridge. Doss was a US army doctor during World War II who refused to carry a gun because of his beliefs, but saved 75 lives without firing a single shot. His actions made him the first conscientious objector —a person who objects to serving in the armed forces for moral or conscience reasons (基于道德或良心等原因)—to be presented with the Medal of Honor, the US's highest honor awarded for personal acts of bravery.
Garfield's first stage of research was to study as many documentaries of Doss he could get his hands on. But Garfield soon realized that he needed to learn not only the Doss' outer characteristics, but also “the deepest part of himself", he said. He traveled to Doss' hometown. The actor wanted to walk where Doss walked and handle the tools Doss handled, while all the time keeping in mind how the research would affect his performance.
"I don't think I could have gone too far in terms of getting to know who Doss was," Garfield said. "But it can't be an impression of him. That doesn't interest me. Garfield explains that it's like the difference between slipping into someone's clothes and stepping into their skin. Until he goes deep inside a role based on a real person, he doesn't feel he's done the work perfectly. And it's not until he fully understands the character that Garfield feels confident he can do the things asked of the role in the script (脚木)without hesitation or thought.
【1】What makes it difficult for actors to play roles based on real people?
A．Copying the roles in appearance.
B．Masses of close touches with the roles.
C．Acting without their own feelings.
D．Lifelike performances with personal styles.
【2】Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined word “dilemma” in Para 2?
A．victory
B．failure
C．difficulty
D．celebration
【3】Why was the Medal of Honor awarded to Desmond Doss?
A．To recognize his brave actions.
B．To attract people to join the army.
C．To admit the value of conscience.
D．To encourage doctors to follow his suit.
【4】What did Garfield hope to do in Doss' hometown?
A．To meet Doss in person.
B．To do research on Doss early life.
C．To find out the insides of Doss.
D．To know about Doss' living conditions.

31、课本原文填空。
Today was my first day back in san Francisco after 【1】in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley. I have to admit that it 【2】feels good to be back in the city again.
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。
As a child, I clearly remembered watching the PBS cartoon character Arthur get glasses. The poor guy felt ashamed and was laughed at by other kids due to his glasses. So I was thankful that I had good eyesight.
However, when I entered the eighth grade, I could no longer see very clearly the writing on the blackboard. Luckily, I was usually seated in the front of the classroom, and my study was not affected. So I didn't turn to glasses.
During my first year in high school, my eyesight became poorer. My eyes were examined, and the doctor determined that my eyesight was quite bad. I would either have to wear glasses full time, or try contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Since I had watched the cartoon character Arthur before, I was afraid to be judged by others due to my glasses — it made me believe the glasses would affect a person’s beauty. And being a teenage girl, I cared much about my self-image. Besides, at that time, there were few students around me wearing glasses. So I chose to wear contact lenses. I felt they would not affect my appearance. On the contrary, they would make me more attractive. And after wearing contact lenses, my entire world was transformed. Trees actually had leaves. People around me showed clear expressions. I was overjoyed at my new-found sight and appearance, and I had more self-confidence.
But when my junior year came along, I began to have trouble with my eyes. Once in a while, the contact lenses would irritate (刺激) my eyes, almost to the point where the pain was unbearable. It would take me thirty minutes just to get the lenses in comfortably every day, which made me so upset. With time going by, the pain only got worse.
In spite of endless visits to the hospital, my doctor found nothing wrong with my eyes. He tried countless mediations to ease my pain, However, none of them worked, and there was nothing left to try.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
He suggested that I wear my glasses full-time. __________________________
