26、 One ambitious high school student knew exactly how to show his family that he got accepted into his dream college—by surprising them on Christmas Day.
Barrington Lincoln, class president at Lutheran High School North in Ferguson, got accepted into Morehouse College in Atlanta back on Dec. 15. But for months, he knew he wanted to make the news known in a big way to his mother and aunt, Lincoln told ABC News. “I thought of the surprise in October,” he said, adding that once he got accepted, he would purchase two school T-shits from Morehouse’s online store.
On Christmas Day, in a now video on Twitter, Lincoln, 17, gifted his mom Lisa McDonald and his aunt Shirley Gray the T-shirts with the school’s name on it. When the two sisters opened the gifts, they had no idea what they meant.
In the video, Lincoln nudges (用肘轻推) his family, “You know what that means right? I got in!” While McDonald falls heavily on the couch in delight, Gray asks, “You’ve been holding out on us?”
“I didn’t expect anything like that,” McDonald told ABC News. “It’s so satisfying to see him get the return on his studying.” “He always wanted to be the first in line and help everybody stay in line,” his mother added.
McDonald said it’s especially sweet since she had to wok an extra job to afford his private school after his father, a former Marine, passed away in 2015. Lincoln was only 15.
【1】What did Lincoln choose two T-shits for his mother and aunt mainly for?

A.Embarrassed. B.Disappointed. C.Satisfied. D.Puzzled.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined sentence “You’ve ben holding out on us”?
A.You’ve been keeping it a secret from us. B.You’ve been telling a lie to the two of us.
C.You’ve been playing a joke with two of us. D.You’ve been longing to tell us the truth,
【4】What can we infer from the text?
A.The video had been popular before Dec. 15.
B.Lincoln bought the T-shirts in the local supermarket.
C.Lincoln’s mother felt her efforts paid off at last.

27、 When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the Pennsylvania countryside for a weeklong taste of rural life. We stayed in a guesthouse on a farm, joining the daily routines and eating meals with the farmer and his family. We got up early to see the cows as they were milked. I even tried my hand at milking one, and then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterward.
Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip which made me realize the value of a vacation, of seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members. To this day, I still consider that family trip when I plan to take time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spend much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money. One of the reasons I give is that we should all have enough for a family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we should be saving our money and time for.
For my family, our vacation starts when we begin planning the trip. We talk about destinations and our budget (预算) ahead of time. Among the things we discuss: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel? Would it be better to buy groceries and cook for ourselves rather than eat out every night? Involving (使参与) the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too. I prefer to visit historical sites and museums while they love to fish and swim. So I build in some relaxation time for us all so that the vacation can work for everyone.
Each year, setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us. A relaxing environment opens the doors to all kinds of conversations—deep, silly or meaningful. There’s no pleasure from the usual everyday tasks. What matters is that everyone is having a great time.
【1】Why did the author and his parents go to the countryside when he was young?
A.To milk the cow. B.To meet the farmer and his family.
C.To experience country life. D.To enjoy the scenery.
【2】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The author encouraged his customers to save their money for family vacation.
B.The author met new people and new things during the trip.
C.The trip helped the author understand the meaning of vacations better.
D.The author involved his kids in planning the vacation to cut their budget.
【3】What is this passage mainly about?
A.The author had a good time in the countryside.
B.The author advised others to spend vacations with their families.
C.The author tried to enjoy the holidays with his family.
D.The author realized the value of family vacations and put it into practice.
28、When we’ve got children, it’s typical of us to give careful thought to how much TV the children are watching and exposed to. Are we being overprotective about the effect reality TV is having on our child? The answer is “No”. Or rather, there’s increasing evidence that these programs can have a profound influence on young people.
A recent research indicates that some reality TV shows can be as damaging for teenage girls as too many cartoons are for kids. The truth is that reality TV is anything but reality—but that’s not necessarily what our children believe. A study for the Girl Scout Research Institute in the US found that eight out of ten girls aged between 11 and 17 who regularly watch reality shows believe these programs describe real life. In fact, much of reality TV is a heavily manipulated (操纵) view of what’s really happening, and the worst of it strengthens the sort of female stereotypes women have spent decades trying to remove.
Many of the women on reality TV shows are acting out lives as teenage mothers or drama queens. Strong, hard-working, purposeful young women with ambitions beyond their looks are rare in these programs. There’s a widespread emphasis on the value of women concerning how they look and dress, which gives young viewers the message that being a woman is all about style and appearance, not what you do or stand for. Imran Siddiquee, Director of Social Media and Outreach, is concerned that these programs show the worst stereotypes of womanhood and “normalize” them in what appear to be everyday settings. “They offer such a limited view of what it is to be a woman, and all over the world young girls are addicted to it,” he says.
We should encourage our children to be critical thinkers. Whether reality TV is changing our children’s views, or whether they are attracted to programs that agree with their beliefs, it’s vital we that their viewing habits could strengthen these unbalanced ideas.
【1】Who is this passage most probably intended for?
A．General public.
B．Teenage girls.
C．TV producers.
D．Parents.
【2】What is the problem with a reality TV show?
A．Its contents and views are rather unreal.
B．It has removed the usual female stereotypes.
C．Its contents and views are rather artificial.
D．It overemphasizes young women’s ambitions
【3】According to Imran Siddquee, what should reality TV shows present?
A．Tips on how to become fashionable young girls.
B．Genuine reflections of females and their work.
C．Distinction between true life and TV dramas
D．Ways to gain more popularity among peers.
【4】what is the text mainly about?
A．Reality TV shows’ impact on young girls and parent’s guidance.
B．Situations where teenagers are attracted to certain TV programs.
C．The way to help children to have the habit of critical thinking.
D．The stereotypes of women on TV and audience’s reactions.
29、 Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, turned 200 years old in 2018! It has been called the first true work of science fiction and the first English horror novel. The story has been told over and over again—not just in books, but in movies and television shows. To celebrate, New York City s Morgan Library & Museum has a special exhibit on the writer and the book.
The reason for the success is that Doctor Frankenstein and his creature, the monster, live on in numerous remakes, shows, and even comic books.
Mary Shelley’s classic is one of the most famous horror stories of all time. But Frankenstein is so much more than that. It presents ideas or themes that are still important today. Knowing something about her suffering can help readers have a good knowledge of her work. Shelley wrote the book when she was only 18 years old. And it relates to her own sad life. Her mother died 10 days after she gave birth to her. She knew what it meant to be a child without a mother. It is no surprise that Shelley wrote a story about a motherless creature one that is very much alone in the world.
Losing her mother shortly after her birth in 1797 was only part of her life story. Mary Shelley gave birth to four children, but only one child survived to adulthood.
Around the age of 17, she fell in love with the poet Percy Shelley. The two writers got married in 1816. However, the marriage of Percy and Mary Shelley was short-lived. Her husband died in a sailing accident in 1822. She was still in her twenties when she became a widow. In some ways, it’s not entirely surprising that she ended up with a story about a monster without a mother.
After the publication of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley continued to write. She died from brain cancer on February 1,1851. Her most important legacy is a monster that is still very much alive today.
【1】What do we know about Frankenstein?
A.It exists in different forms of art.
B.It is a romantic fiction.
C.It is not popular with modern readers.
D.It has been made into the most interesting science fiction movie.
【2】What did Shelley and the monster have in common?
A.They were quite creative. B.They felt lonely.
C.They had the same character. D.They behaved badly at home.
【3】Why did the author mention Shelley’s sufferings?
A.To show pity to her. B.To introduce her to readers.
C.To make readers understand her novel better. D.To show her difficulty in writing the novel.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Success comes from struggle.
B.Hardship creates a great person.
C.Shelley’s experiences contribute to the success of Frankenstein.
D.Frankenstein comes into the market.

Have you ever found yourself in such a situation and you don’t ask for help? Maybe you’re afraid you’ll be made a laughing stock ( 笑 柄 ). We’ve all been there. There is nothing wrong in asking for help. _____ has many ups and downs. When you find yourself unable to “keep your head above water,” stop, look around and ask for help before you find yourself “_____”. The journey of life will be happier and more satisfying.
