26、The prestigious (久负盛名) Peking University and Tsinghua University held graduation ceremonies on the same day this year. The presidents of the two universities delivered excellent speeches at the ceremonies as they used words, phrases or ways of expression that are very popular on the Internet currently. At the same time, graduation speeches by other university presidents were also under the spotlight for the same reason. Their speeches were warmly welcomed by students as they contained many fashionable words today, such as "floating clouds" ( meaning "too small and of little importance to mention") and "gelivable" (meaning " very helpful") . In the speeches , these university presidents recalled campus life together with students and finally moved all the audiences. They were very different from the usual run of lectures.
Many university presidents have changed their regular manner of addressing graduation ceremonies from an advising and preaching (说教) mode to a more fashionable and funny approach. They try to use those words popular among young people in their speeches.
In the past, university presidents' speeches were criticized for being too standard and lacking sentiment. Now , they quote fashionable words in their addresses, reflecting they are starting to adopt more everyday attitudes to students. The use of these new expressions has triggered a heated discussion. It focuses on the question of whether university presidents should speak in an informal way at graduation ceremonies.
Supporters agree with the new approach. They consider it good to build close ties with students by using the youth's own words. Opponents argue the new ways have no practical value or significance for education but are merely to please those leaving university.
【1】What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Should University Heads Use Terms of Youth
B.Must University Presidents Learn to Please Students
C.Must University Presidents Meet Students' Needs
D.Should University Heads Use Newly-created Words
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A.University presidents consider it good to build close ties with students.
B.More and more students are eager to make speeches in public.
C.The new ways of making speeches are popular with the young.
D.University presidents have special opinions about the world.
【3】What dose the underlined word "triggered " in Paragraph 3 probably mean ?
A.Break off
B.Set off
C.Sum up
D.Focus on
【4】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Many people are likely to be influenced by the Internet.
B.The writer thinks it necessary for us to follow the traditional customs.
C.More and more words are changing with the development of technology.
D.People argue about whether to use fashionable words on formal occasions.
27、If you’re looking to start your own checklist of places to visit during your life, begin with our list of the top tourist attractions in the world.
Petra, Jordan
You may have an Indiana Jones feeling as you walk through a 1.2-kilometer-long narrow crack (裂缝) in the sandstone hills and get into a hidden city. First built over 2,000 years ago and lost to the outside world for 600 years, the city was only discovered in 1812.
Fantastic buildings are built directly into the red rock walls and are wonderfully preserved, just begging to be explored and photographed.
Grand Canyon, USA
The greatest natural attraction in the United States, the Grand Canyon is a key sight for all travelers planning their lifetime of adventures. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon, looking out over the carved landscape, will awaken your senses.
Stonehenge, England
Stonehenge is one of those places that makes you consider what went on here over 4,500 years ago. It’s long been a mystery to historians, and has caught the imagination of countless visitors. Despite the large number of tourists that stand on Stonehenge, the place still has a mystical feel.
Niagara Falls, Canada & USA
On the edge between the United States and Canada, these great falls have been drawing explorers and travelers for centuries. Just over an hour from the city of Toronto, Niagara Falls is easy to get to, and the town is a fun place to spend a night or two.
Walk up to the edge of the falls, wander along the paved walk (人行道) lining the gorge (峡谷) for different views, or take a boat tour for a close-up look at the water pouring over the lip of the gorge above you. For a bird’s-eye view, head up the Skylon Tower to look out over the falls.

28、Ever feel like you’ve been hit on the head after a bad night’s sleep? According to scientists, the thought isn’t as unbelievable as it seems.
A study found going without sleep for just one night causes changes in the brain similar to those that happen after a blow to the head. The researchers said the healthy young men examined in the study showed a sudden rise in the same chemicals which indicate(表明) brain damage. Professor Christian Benedict, of Uppsala University, Sweden, explained that the chemicals NSE and S-100B are biomarkers(生物指标) for brain damage, such as concussion(脑震荡). He said, “What we found was their levels in the blood rose in the group that went without sleep for a night. This was not to the degree that would happen after a head injury, for example, but it was still worth paying attention to. During sleep, the brain cleans itself of poisonous substances.” He said the findings support the previous(以前的) research showing how the brain makes use of sleep to clean itself.
Professor Benedict also said his study could support previous studies which linked a lack of sleep with increased risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. The rise of the chemicals in the blood after sleep loss may suggest not getting enough sleep leads to a loss of brain tissue, he explained. Professor Benedict, whose study is published in the journal Sleep, added, “In conclusion, the findings of our trial indicate a good night’s sleep may be very important for keeping brain health.”
A third of the UK population suffer from sleep-related problems, while the average person now sleeps for only seven hours a night, compared with almost nine a few decades ago. Many scientists believe irregular sleeping patterns lead to illnesses ranging from aches and pains to heart disease, while less than eight hours’ sleep a night can lower the IQ the next day.
【1】If you don’t sleep for a night, what will happen?
A. There will be a rise in the chemicals NSE and S-100B
B. The chemicals NSE and S-100B will drop to a lower level
C. Some of the chemicals NSE and S-100B will change into other matters
D. The chemicals NSE and S-100B will be less able to get rid of poisonous matters
【2】What is the previous study mainly about according to the passage?
A. The way to avoid brain damage
B. The ways to improve the quality of sleep
C. The ways that have effect on people’s sleep
D. The way the brain uses sleep to clean itself
【3】We can we infer from the last paragraph that .
A. man’s intelligence is affected by sleep in a way
B. people who need more sleep have a higher IQ
C. one fourth of the UK population have sleep-related problems
D. modern people need less sleep than those a few decades ago
【4】What’s is the theme of the passage?
A. Eight hours’ sleep is important
B. How human brains work during sleep
C. Sleep loss is close to a blow to the head
D. Regular sleeping patterns improve health
29、 Do you wish to be liked by people around you? Of course! Our likability is not entirely up to us. It depends on many things. But there are still some tips you can follow to make yourself more likable.
Be a better listener
People like being listened to. To be a good listener, you have to actually listen to what the other person is saying, instead of running through the great story you want to tell the moment they finish speaking.【1】Head nods, ohs and ahs, for example, can go a long way.
【2】
When someone tells you he has to work all weekend, it's a bad idea to say "Well, that's why you make so much money!" It may be better to say Aw, that's terrible." If someone tells you about something they achieved, offer sincere congratulations.
Follow up
This is an opportunity most people miss. If someone tells you they have an exam coming up, ask them how it went.【3】When people gave you information and you follow up the next time you see them or by text, they know that you listened and that you cared enough to ask about it.【4】
Find common ground
【5】So when meeting people you don't know well or are meeting for the first time, try to find common interests, hobbies, opinions, taste in movies, books, shows, music or fashion, vacation destinations, or anything else that might create connections between you.
A.Be supportive
B.Be communicative
C.They will be glad to share it with you.
D.People connect to others who are similar to them.

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。
There are many things in senior middle school that I still remember clearly. I studied three years in a country school, which is faraway. However, it has a good environment and strict but kind teachers, so I loved the school and all my teachers very much. One Friday, just as we began to read books in reading class at our desks, our teacher, Mrs. Hill, said that she needed to be out of the classroom for a few minutes. She asked the class to read in silence while she was gone. And she said that those who didn’t read books in silence would have to answer to her when she returned. It was well-known that Mrs. Hill was strict. So we had to be on our best behavior.
But that Friday, Mrs. Hill hadn’t been gone for ten seconds before some students in the classroom started to talk. From one corner of the classroom I heard Josh ask Nick, “Can I trade my candies for your toy?” At the other end of the room I heard Samantha tell Kayla, “Let’s sit together on the bus for the museum field trip tomorrow.” And so it went all around me, until about half of the students talked with each other.
After a while, I, too, forgot about Mrs. Hill’s instructions. I turned back and asked my friend Liza, “Can I borrow your storybook and keep it for a day?” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, Mrs. Hill walked into the classroom. The whole class returned to silence immediately. And we were full of fear.
Mrs. Hill slowly looked around the classroom and said, “If you were talking while I was gone, then please stand up.” The guilt (内疚) suddenly weighed heavily on me. “I shouldn’t have talked while she was not in the classroom. And now I should be honest and admit my mistake bravely. This is what my parents have always told me, “I thought. Then, I summoned up (鼓起) my courage to stand up, worrying about the punishment that waited for me. Then I looked around.
