26、 Once upon a time, there was a farmer. He didn't have a lot of money, so he used an old horse to plow(耕)his field instead of a tractor(拖拉机).
One afternoon, while working in the field, the horse died. Everyone in the village said, "Oh, what a terrible thing!" The farmer just said, "We'll see." He was such a good person that the villagers got together and bought him a new horse as a gift.
Then many people said, "What a lucky man!" And the farmer replied, "We'll see."
A few days later, the new horse jumped over the wall and ran away. Everyone in the village said, "What a poor man!"
The farmer smiled and said. "We'll see." But finally, the horse found his way home, and everyone said, "What a fortunate man!" The farmer said, "We'll see."
Later in the year, the farmer's young boy went out, riding on the horse. He fell off the horse and broke his leg. Everyone in the village said, "What a poor boy!" The farmer said, "We'll see."
Two days later, the army came into the village to ask people to be soldiers. When they saw that the farmer's son had a broken leg, they decided not to ask him to join the army.

27、 When you feel that midafternoon slump(消沉) is coming on, should you fight it and get on with your day, or lie on the couch for a while. This may not be a problem that a huge number of people fight with regularly. But a new study suggests that if you’re watching your blood pressure, taking a midday nap may be a step in the right direction.
It’s long been known that naps, when done right, can leave you feeling fresh and energetic. Whether they can carry any immediate cardiovascular(心血管的) benefits has been less clear, even though this could affect the health of millions of people around the world.
“We all know that lifestyle changes stand for the basis of treatment for high blood pressure,” says Manolis Kallistratos, MD, an expert at Asklepieion General Hospital in Voula, Greece. “We also know that certain cultures have the habit of sleep during midday.” These two observations led Dr. Kallistratos and his colleagues to survey the effects of napping on blood pressure in a number of different ways.
On March 18, a study was showed at the American College of Cardiology 2019 meeting in New Orleans. Scientists wanted to find out whether taking a nap can influence people whose blood pressure is fairly well controlled, but who could still benefit from lower levels. The study included 212 adults with an average age of 62, whose average systolic blood pressure was 129. 9 mmHg. The researchers found that people who napped had systolic blood pressure that was 5. 3 mmHg lower, on average than in those who didn’t nap.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The coach. B. The new study. C. A midday nap. D. Midafternoon slump.
【2】Why does the author mention Dr. Kallistratos’ words?
A. To introduce some Dr. Kallistratos’ findings.
B. To provide the reason for Dr. Kallistratos’ research.
C. To show us some advice on keeping healthy.
D. To tell us the effects of napping on blood pressure.
【3】What did the study on March 18 want to find out?
A. People who napped are unhealthy.
B. People taking a nap have the lowest blood pressure.
C. Taking a nap is good for health.
D. To tell us the effects of napping on blood pressure.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A. Taking a nap may help lower blood pressure.
B. Taking nap can make you weak.
C. Taking a nap can make your blood pressure higher.
D. Taking a nap may cause a problem.
28、 Max Vernon Mathews has been called the father of computer music. He created electronic tools so that people could use computers as musical instruments. He had a huge influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written, recorded and played.
In 1957, Max Mathews wrote the first computer program that enabled a computer to create sound and play it back. At the time, he was working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. His computer program was called Music. It enabled a large IBM computer to play a seventeen-second piece of music that he had written.
The computer was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play the piece of music in seventeen seconds. For that reason, Mathews moved the work to a tape player, which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed. He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great, but the technical importance of the music was huge.
The science fiction writer Arthur C.Clarke visited Bell Laboratories in the 1960s. He heard a computer “sing” the song “Daisy Bell” on devices and programs developed by Max Mathews and other engineers. Clarke noted this technology in his book 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was later made into a movie.
Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program. He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios. The Groove program he developed was the first computer program made for live performances. He also developed an electronic device he called the Radio Baton. The device looks like two drum sticks. It enables the user to control the speed and sound levels of orchestral music played on a computer. The user does this by moving the two sticks on a special electronic surface.
Max Mathews believed modern musicians are not making full use of the power of computer music. He said a violin always sounds like a violin. But with a computer, the way a violin sounds is unlimited. He said he did not want computer sounds to replace live music. But he said he hoped laptop computers would one day be considered serious instruments.
【1】How did the program Music work according to the text?
A.It helped design a computer program.
B.It created sound by using computers.
C.It could record a seventeen-second piece of music.
D.It enabled a large IBM computer to work faster.
【2】Why did Mathews turn to a tape player？
A.It was of light weight.
B.Its sound was of great quality.
C.It could play the music faster than the computer.
D.It could play more pieces of music than the computer.
【3】Why did Max Mathews’ Music appear in Clarke’s book?
A.The book dealt with music. B.Music added sound to the book.
C.The book was recorded by Music. D.Music was a new invention at that time.
【4】What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A.Devices and programs Max Mathews created.
B.The characteristics of Max Mathews’ works.
C.How Max Mathews’ program was applied.
D.How Max Mathews developed computer programs.
【5】What do we know about Max Vernon Mathews?
A.He is the father of music.
B.He is influential as an engineer.
C.He made great contributions to computer music.
D.He wanted computer sounds to take the place of live music.
29、For more than five years, under the guidance of the golden principles of wide discussion, joint contribution and shared benefits (利益), the Belt and Road Initiative (一带一路倡议) raised by President Xi Jinping has been in action, becoming increasingly welcomed around the world. More than 150 countries and international organizations have signed cooperation (合作) agreements with China under the BRI’s general framework.
The past five years have also seen China’s trade in goods with Belt and Road countries rising above $5 trillion. Also, foreign direct investment (投资) rising above $60 billion, which have created more than 200,000 local jobs. China-Europe block trains have so far made more than 13,000 journeys, and 49 cities in 15 countries have benefited from the facilities in taking their products directly to 56 cities in China.
France, as a major economy and the central part of the European Union, has been ahead of other Western countries for a long time in developing relations with China. The BRI has provided a new and broader chance for this development, leading to increasing political belief, economic cooperation and cultural exchanges. This year is certainly full of chances for China-France cooperation under the BRI.
First, the Belt and Road Initiative has entered a new age, arriving at a continuous development. France could take part in the event, share historical chances and discuss cooperation plans so the two can usher in a new age in BRI project.
Second, China’s move to a higher level of opening-up has provided new chances for cooperation with France on the BRI. China will continue to cut the foreign investment negative list and give wider market access to foreign companies.
Third, the opening of a new age in China-France relations has created more favorable conditions for Belt and Road cooperation.
It is thus the common job of China and France, both members of the United Nations Security Council, to work together in improving economic globalization (全球化) and keeping a good international order.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of 【1】 land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to 【2】 the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with 【3】 which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been 【4】. What next?
The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become 【5】.
Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems 【6】.
From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must 【7】 ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that 【8】 his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to 【9】 places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and 【10】 shores.
