26、   With Memorial Day and summer right around the corner, you’re bound to feel a serious case of wanderlust coming on. Whether you want to travel the world or just squeeze in a weekend getaway to your nearest National Park, camping is always the answer. Whatever you’ve got in mind, we’ve rounded up a selection of the world’s most beautiful camping spots to get you started.

Yosemite National Park, California

Ninety-five percent of Yosemite National Park is set apart for wilderness, which means no cars, no buildings, and no electricity. Sleep under the stars and hike up to Glacier Point for a view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, and Yosemite Falls. Make sure you store your food properly though-black bears are common!

Boya Lake Provincial Park, Canada

Boya Lake Provincial Park, known for the color and clarity of its lake, is a great place to  enjoy any type of water recreation. The lake is also one of the few in the north that’s warm enough for swimming. The area was carved out by glaciers, leaving many islands and lakes behind for modern campers to explore on the park’s hiking trails.

Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica

Corcovado National Park is home to five percent of the world’s biodiversity-National Geographic described it as the most “geographically intense” place in the world. Camping is a great option for a visit to Costa Rica: you’ll be at the heart of the rainforest, away from the country’s touristy resorts.

Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

If you’ve always dreamed of safaris (野外观兽旅行), Maasai Mara is the place to go. The best time to visit this large game reserve is between July and October, when you can witness the annual migration (迁徙)of Thomson’s gazelle, zebra, and wildebeest to and from the neighboring Serengeti, in Tanzania.

27、   “When your mother scolds you, you can look elsewhere and think about other things. Just ignore her words. But remember: such a tough attitude cannot be used often.” These words are from a series of cartoons which outline skills for children to fight against their mothers. The images have created heated debate among Chinese netizens(网民).

Regarded as “a book for children aged 6 to 12 who are always scolded by their parents”,  the cartoons, drawn by two 10-year-old Beijing girls, list over 20 skills which children can use to deal with their mothers’ anger such as crying, pretending to be ashamed, fleeing into the toilet and pleasing her afterwards. Each skill is described with vivid pictures and humorous notes. The creativity of the young girls has amazed netizens, the Yangtse Evening Post reported on Thursday.

According to one of the girls’ mothers, her daughter once received a poor mark in an exam, and the mother blamed her and compared her performance with another classmate. The daughter’s feelings led to her creating the cartoons. The girl’s father, who first posted the pictures on his Sohu Microblog on Monday, said he hopes parents pay close attention to the pictures, allow children to feel free to develop their own characteristics and try not to criticize them so often.

“The cartoons, although an individual case, reflect a modern phenomenon and some of the problems within Chinese family education,” said Yu Qinfang, an expert on family education. According to a survey of 104 children and their parents, Yu discovered that as many as 51.9 percent of primary school students hate being urged to do things by their mothers.“Not giving children enough time and hurrying them to do things seems to be a very tiny detail within family life, but it is potentially a huge problem which can easily be ignored by parents. A mother’s blame may lead to negative feelings within her child’s heart,” Yu said. “Parents should learn to blame less and be more patient.”

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Yu Qinfang found that primary school pupils disliked being forced to do things.

B.The father posted the cartoons on his microblog to show off his daughter’s cleverness.

C.Parents are advised to speak highly of their children frequently.

D.How to blame children needs parents’ further study of cartoons

【2】What do we know about the cartoon book according to the passage?

A.It is finished by children aged 6 to 12.

B.It tells us how to control mothers’ feelings.

C.It is intended for primary school teachers.

D.It includes a number of vivid pictures and humorous notes.

【3】Where would you probably find this passage?

A.An advertisement. B.A textbook. C.A newspaper. D.A novel.

28、   The iPhone has been called a magical product because of its success over the years. However, now the iPhone seems to have lost its attraction.

Apple recently announced its financial results for the company’s first quarter of 2019, with a total income of $84.3 billion. It’s the company’s worst performance in about a decade. Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, explained that the decline(下降) was mainly because of the weaker demand in China.

However, people believe that Apple itself is largely responsible for the decline. Gene Munster, from US research company, told CNN that “one- third of the issue” comes from the company’s move to sharply increase the price of its entire new products. This has made people less willing to change to the latest iPhones. For example, iPhone Xs Max, one of the company’s latest smartphones, costs $1,450 in the US before tax, and costs much more in other countries. Apple has also failed to introduce features that excite consumers in a forward-thinking technology market. The iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max are being criticized for lack of any real notable new software features, reported CNBC.

Meanwhile, Apple also faces challenges from smartphone makers in China such as Huawei and Xiaomi, which have introduced less expensive but still quality smartphones. In 2018, Huawei introduced a triple-lens(三镜头) camera on its P20 Pro. The triple-lens camera is a popular feature that the iPhone lacks.

“In the past few years, the technology in Apple’s phones has not had any big breakthroughs, while the technology in domestic(国内的) phones has gotten better and better,” Feng Yin, a 32-year-old engineer in China, told The New York Times. “The difference is getting smaller.”

It’s not just Chinese consumers that have developed belief in domestic smartphone brands. Gregory from Paris bought his eighth Huawei phone in 2018. He also successfully persuaded his 56-ycar-old aunt, Jankowski, to buy one. “I wasn’t really worried about the fact that it was a Chinese brand,” Jankowski told The New York Times about her Huawei phone. “We know that they make amazing technological products.”

【1】What’s the reason for the sales fall of Apple according to Gene Munster?

A.The weaker demand in China. B.Expensive new products.

C.Failing to introduce new features. D.The challenges from Huawei.

【2】Which of the following statements is True according to the text?

A.Apple has lost its market in China.

B.The technology in Huawei has gone beyond Apple.

C.Many people complain that the iPhone updates too quickly.

D.More consumers begin to believe in Chinese smartphone brands.

【3】How does Jankowski feel about her Huawei phone?

A.Content. B.Curious.

C.Worried. D.Disappointed.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.Markets Call for Reform. B.Is Huawei Taking Off.

C.Price Determines Sales. D.Is Apple Losing its Appeal.

29、Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take, for example, the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.“Sensei,” the boy finally said, “shouldn't I be learning more moves?”“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know,” the sensei replied.

Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened.

“No,” the sensei insisted, “Let him continue.” Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind. “Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?” “You won for two reasons,” the sensei answered. “First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”

The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

【1】we can infer from Paragraph 2 that the teacher__________.

A. was unwilling to teach the boy

B. regarded mastering one move as extremely important.

C. worried about the boys ability

D. trained the boy to win judo tournaments

【2】After the boy came in the finals, __________.

C. he thought of giving up.

D. the judge stopped the game.

【3】The underlined expression “be overmatched” in Paragraph 3 is closed in meaning to__________.

A. lose heart

B. lose patience

C. be defeated

D. be monitored

【4】How did the boy’s teacher explain his success of the tournament?

A. His opponent was too confident and careless.

B. The boy was experienced in playing the games.

C. His opponent didn't notice the boys left hand.

D. The boy made use of his judo skill and weakness.

【5】What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To suggest we turn weakness into strength.

B. To encourage us to insist in a match.

C. To show us how to win a match luckily.

D. To tell us to choose an experienced teacher.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.

We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

On a broiling afternoon when the men were away at work and all the women napped, I moved through majestic depths of silences, silences so immense I could hear the corn 【1】. Under these silences there was a / an orchestra of natural music playing notes no city child would ever hear. A certain cackle from the henhouse meant we had gained an egg. The creak of a porch swing told of a momentary breeze blowing across my grandmother’s yard. As I 【2】 along a mossy bank to surprise a frog, a 【3】splash told me the quarry had spotted me and slipped into the stream. Wandering among the sleeping houses, I learned that tin roofs crackle under the power of the sun, and when I tired and came back to my grandmother’s house, I padded into her dark cool living room, lay 【4】 on the floor, and listened to the hypnotic beat of her pendulum clock on the wall ticking the meaningless hours away.

I was enjoying the luxuries of a rustic nineteenth-century boyhood, but for the women Morrisonville life had few 【5】. Their lives were hard, endless, dirty labor.

For baths, laundry, and dishwashing, they hauled buckets of water from a spring at the foot of a hill. To heat it, they chopped kindling to fire their wood stoves. They boiled laundry in tubs, scrubbed it on washboards until knuckles were 【6】, and wrung it out by hand. Ironing was a business of lifting heavy metal weights heated on the stove top.

They scrubbed floors on hands and knees, thrashed rugs with carpet beaters, killed and plucked their own chickens, baked bread and parties, grew and conned their won vegetables, patched the family’s clothing on treadle-operated sewing machines, 【7】before the men to start the stove for breakfast and pack lunch pails, polished the chimneys of kerosene lamps, and even found time to tend the flowers that grew around every house. By the end of a summer day a Morrisonville woman had toiled like a serf.

At sundown the men drifted back from the fields exhausted and 【8】. They scrubbed themselves in enamel basins and, when supper was eaten, climbed up onto the porch to watch the night arrive. Presently the women 【9】 them, and the twilight music of Morrisonville began.

The swing creaking , rocking chairs 【10】 on the porch planks, voices murmuring approval of the sagacity of Uncle Irvey as he quietly observed for probably the ten-thousandth time in his life, “A man works from sun to sun, but a woman’s work is never done.”

37、I have a muscle disease but I don't look any different from other people. Sometimes, I was too weak【1】 go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an【2】(absent), I felt stupid because I was behind the others.

My life is a lot easier at high school because few fellow students make me【3】(annoy). My ambition is to work for a firm【4】develops computer software when I grow up. Last year I invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around【5】(feel) sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends. I spend a lot of time looking after my pets【6】(proper) but I find it worthwhile.

In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more【7】 (independence). I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If【8】(have) a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun【9】them, and don't ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live【10】rich and full a life as you do.

San Francisco, long one of the most tech-friendly and technologically first-class cities in the world, is now the first in the United States to prohibit its government from using facial recognition technology.

Xuzhou Railway Station introduced four self-service check-in machines on Jan 25 to offer travelers a more convenient and efficient traveling experience.
