26、 Wolf Warrior 2 (《战狼II》), a movie that made box office history in China in 2017, tells the story of how the Chinese government successfully rescues overseas Chinese citizens in Africa.
At the end of the film, there is one line that stands out: “When you meet with danger in a foreign land, do not give up! Please remember, at your back stands a strong motherland.”
The movie sends the message that overseas Chinese will always receive timely help from China. But in the future, some headstrong(任性的) citizens will not get this help for free, People’s Daily reported.
On March 26, the Ministry of Foreign Affaires (MFA) worked out a draft for regulations on consular (领事的) protection and assistance, the Xinhua News Agency reported. The draft says that those who insist on travelling to dangerous places without considering warnings given by the MFA will not be able to take advantage of free rescue services.
For example, the MFA recently release a travel advisory (安全提醒) saying that Chinese citizens should avoid travelling to Maldives. Chinese who travel there and run into trouble may still ask for aid from the Chinese Embassy. But they will have to cover the cost of their rescue later.
In fact, this is a common international practice, People’s Daily said. Countries like the US, the UK and Canada have similar regulations.
According to the MFA, over 130 million Chinese mainlanders travelled overseas in 2017. The MFA issued over1000 travel advisories to advise Chinese citizens of the risks they may face when travelling.
【1】Why does the author quote a line from Wolf Warrior 2 ?
A. To explain what the movie is about.
B. To describe the feelings after watching the movie.
C. To stress that China will help every Chinese person.
D. To prove how strong China is.
【2】Who usually gives warnings about travelling abroad?
A. People’s Daily B. The MFA
C. Xinhua News Agency D. Travel agencies.
【3】The draft suggests that ______.
A. Chinese people can’t travel to foreign places
B. Free rescue services have come to an end
C. Chinese who travel to Maldives will run into trouble
D. People will not get free help if they ignore the MFA’s warnings
【4】If the regulation is put into practice, we can infer that _____.
A. China will be the first country in the world to do so
B. People may have second thoughts about travelling to dangerous places
C. The number of people who can travel overseas will be less than 130 million
D. Only rich people will be able to afford to travel overseas
27、Forget about the “post-1995 generation”. Young people born in 1995 or later have another name in English — Generation Z. They are entering adulthood and will soon shape our future, which is why policy makers, as well as employers and marketers, are trying their best to understand these young people. So, how should we pin down the Gen Z-ers?
Most people will agree that the single biggest difference between Gen-Z and other generations is how connected they are. This is a group of people who were hooked up to social media as soon as they were born. Social media has changed the way Gen Z-ers interact with each other and how they get and process information. They read news from Twitter, watch videos from Vine, share experiences in Instagram and post recipes in Pinterest.
“We are the first true digital natives. I can almost simultaneously create a document, edit it, post a photo on Instagram and talk on the phone, all from the user-friendly iPhone,” said Hannah Payne, an 18-year-old UCLA student.
It is noted that young people in the UK are becoming more active in Politics. Young people regard voting as one option among many to show their political engagement that can potentially influence policies. Instead of party politics, they focus more on single-topic issues such as feminism (女权主义) or climate change. And “much of the engagement and organizing they do takes place on social media rather than through traditional political structures,” according to the Guardians.
Gen Z-ers are also culture creators. Growing up with the Internet has freed this generation from traditional cultural expression. They are no longer willing to let their creativity be limited by their parents or traditional rules.
“We decide what kind of content we want to experience and choose how we experience it,” wrote Masback, a Huffington Post blogger and a Gen Z-er herself.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “pin down” mean in Paragraph 1?
A.Cooperate with.
B.Firmly convince.
C.Clearly understand.
D.Communicate with.
【2】What is special about the Gen Z-ers’ engagement in politics?
A.It’s topic-specific.
B.It stresses social response.
C.It’s party-based.
D.It has an immediate effect.
【3】What can be inferred about the Gen Z-ers from the last two paragraphs?
A.They enjoy great freedom to express themselves.
B.They are unwilling to obey their parents.
C.They are rooted in traditional culture.
D.They are addicted to social media.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards Gen Z-ers?
A.Worried.
B.Critical.
C.Objective.
D.Appreciative
28、 When you were a child you had a pure (纯洁的) mind, which was free from worries and anxieties. As time passed, you were influenced by several crises (危机). 【1】 Below are some techniques which can help you keep a peaceful mind:
Mind your own business.
Focusing on things which are not related in negativity (消极). It will disturb your mental peace. So next time an unnecessary thought comes to your mind, think about whether this is really something you should be worrying about. 【2】
Surround yourself with positive people.
【3】 When someone is negative, he spreads negativity and you get affected. Always staying with such people will have long-term influence on your character. So think about your company (同伴).
【4】
Remember the great saying: Small minds discuss people; average minds discuss events; higher minds discuss ideas and great minds act in silent. Don’t allow your brain to compare yourself to others. Don’t be jealous (嫉妒的). This harms your soul and takes away your mental peace.
Ignore (忽略) your thoughts about being unlucky.
Bad luck happens to everyone. Time whether good or bad, passes quickly. 【5】 Believe in the power of now. Believe in your skills. Work hard and you will get what you feel you’re worthy of.
With these suggestions, I believe you can bring major changes in your lifestyle and get back your mental peace.
A. Don’t think about others too much.
B. If it isn’t, avoid it right away and focus on something positive.
C. Stay away from negative people.
D. Bring positive energy with you wherever you go.
E. Develop the power of not looking back into your past.
F. It is hard to keep your mind away from bad things.
G. Now your pure mind becomes impure when you are stressful.
29、 Bonnie often walks on two legs, like humans. And you can find the 32-year-old great ape copying her keepers by sweeping the floor of her zoo home. Sometimes she uses a piece of cloth to clean the window.
“Apes (猿) in general are very clever, but Bonnie is surely even more so,” said Erin Stromberg, a great ape keeper who works with Bonnie and recently wrote a research paper about her ability to whistle.
Bonnie is one of the six adult great apes at the National Zoo. Bonnie and other great apes are part of a research project. Scientists there are trying to learn more about the way the great apes think and act. One part of the project is to learn whether great apes can develop a way to remember long lists.
Stromberg helped with a project on Bonnie’s unusual ability to whistle. Years ago Bonnie started to whistle, probably after hearing a keeper do it. In the project, Stromberg made different whistling noises to see if Bonnie could repeat them. She did. Bonnie’s whistling shows some apes have the ability to learn a new sound from another species.
The finding is especially important because, Stromberg said, it can help scientists better understand how human speech developed. Great apes, after all, are the closest relatives to human beings in the animal kingdom.
Bonnie was born in 1976 at a zoo in New Mexico and arrived at the National Zoo in December 1980. Bonnie has physical features common to great apes, such as a large belly. Her dark red coat makes her easy to spot on a visit to the zoo.
【1】The main purpose of the research project is to ________.
A.find out how clever the great apes are
B.know more about how the great apes think and act
C.learn whether the great apes can remember long lists
D.see whether the great apes can copy humans’ action
【2】Why is the finding especially important?
A.It can help people raise great apes more easily.
B.It makes scientists know more about their living habit.
C.It proves some apes have the ability to learn a new sound.
D.It can help scientists better learn the development of human speech.
【3】People can notice Bonnie easily among the others at the zoo because ________.
A.she is too old
B.her belly is very large
C.her hair is of a special color
D.she is able to whistle like humans
【4】Which of the following can be the theme of the passage?
A.A great ape that can whistle
B.A research project on great apes
C.The cleverest animal at the zoo
D.A great ape that can do housework

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.
