27、 Around four years ago, I received a call from the principal of our school as to the “Parents View” talk the next morning. He asked me to speak to the group. After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”
I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn’t even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking.
After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speakers faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.
Around one month later, I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation. This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.
After delivering successfully, I became more confident. I said to myself, “If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can now speak in front of others too.”
I started delivering lectures in my plan, on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me. I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.
【1】Why did the author have bad feelings before the speech?
A. he feared he couldn't perform it properly.
B. he had got a high fever before that.
C. he regretted accepting the invitation.
D. he disliked the idea of giving a lecture.
【2】What does the underlined part “ominous apprehensions” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Unlucky opportunities. B. Curious views.
C. Negative ideas. D. Happy comments.
【3】What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Necessity is the mother of invention.
B. Nothing is to be got without pains but poverty.
C. Knowledge makes humble, ignorance makes proud.
D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Public Speaking Makes a Man Embarrassed.
B. Principal Provides the Best Chances.
C. Practice Makes a Man a Better Speechmaker.
D. Spoken English Develops in Speeches.
28、Concerned about staying safe in your hotel? This list of Hotel Safety Tips will give you the tools and techniques you need to feel and be safe. From years of staying in hotels (mostly for work) we’ve learned how to minimize the risk of hotel theft or other hotel risks by employing the simple but effective hotel safety strategics listed below.
Always lock the door
All hotels have door latches that add an extra layer of security to the door. It won’t stop the most determined thieves, but it will slow them down and for the less ambitious it might be enough to scare them off. If your door has a manual lock, be sure to flip it locked. You can’t have enough protection.
Avoid leaving valuables in your room
Numerous staff members have master keys that can open every room in the hotel and the cleaning staff enters your room at least once a day. While most are professionals and wouldn’t dream of taking anything, there’s no need to tempt them by leaving your diamond ring on the bed or laptop in plain sight. Always take valuables with you IF you can.
Use the privacy signs whenever possible
If you do have to leave your room make sure you hang the privacy sign. If the guest is in the room, hotel staff may avoid the guest. You can also turn your TV on to further indicate someone’s in the room improving the chances your stuff will be safe. This hotel safety tip obviously doesn’t apply if you desire your room being serviced.
For a bonus hotel safety tip, hang the sign when YOU are in the room to make sure they stay clear.
Learn the hotel exits
If you’ve ever experienced escaping from a hotel at 2 in the morning for a hotel fire it’s not pleasant! Take a quick glance at the exit plan posted in the room and be ready. Don’t forget to leave your luggage when you exit your room in a fire situation.
【1】According to the passage, the door latches may ________.

B．Attract.
C．Threat.
D．Refuse.
【3】What are you advised to do if you stay in a hotel?
A．Make sure the cleaning staff clean your room every day.
B．Test to make sure the privacy sign works well.
C．Always turn your TV on while you are in the room.
D．Avoid leaving your stuff in the room.
【4】In a fire situation, you should ________.

29、Modern medicine is pretty incredible. A team of scientists from the United States and Hong Kong has developed a “bionic eye” that imitates the human eye in shape and function, media BGR reported. The new “bionic eye” could one clay be used to restore the vision of the blind by imitating the “light sensor” in the human eye.
The eye is one of our most complex organs. In real eyes, the retina (视网膜) is the thin layer of tissue that receives light and sends it to our brains so it can be interpreted as an image. The bionic eye is an artificial eye which provides visual sensations to the brain. It consists of electronic systems having microprocessors, receivers, radio transmitters, some electronic chips and a series of image sensors that capture and rebroadcast real-time images. Technology provided by this helps the blind people to get vision again.
Over the years, scientists and doctors have come up with ways to replace some important parts of the body with artificial means that it can improve people’s quality of life and even save a person’s life. However, the eyes are quite special, and the way they communicate with the brain means that designing a bionic eye is not that simple. Connecting devices to the human brain is a huge barrier, but there is no greater challenge for researchers than cramming (塞入) the technology into a ball that could be used as an implant. And yes, the shape of the retina has historically been a major challenge for bionic devices.
Researchers have begun experimenting with animals and humans, the Daily Mail reported. However, much remains to be done. An artificial replacement for a human body is a risky task as it may cause death or some serious situations may occur and scientists were quick to point out that the current equipment is just the beginning that may appear in a few years.
【1】How does bionic eye work?
A．By receiving special signals.
B．By capturing and storing images.
C．By sending visual signals to the brain.
D．By receiving and increasing light intensity.
【2】What is the highest difficulty of making a bionic eye?
A．Its shape.
B．Its size.
C．Its weight.
D．Its sensitivity.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The research is an easy job.
B．The “bionic eye” is impossible.
C．The current equipment is quite perfect.
D．Testing has begun on live organisms.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Modern medicine.
B．New technology.
C．Blind people.
D．Human brain.

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.

My friend Jack had a birthday party recently and I wanted to make him something special to show how much our friendship meant to me. I pulled out the craft box and spread everything out on the table: markers, paints, seasheils, and construction paper. I stared and stared but couldn’t think of what to make.
Just then, my cat Charlie leaped on a pile of paper. The paper, and Charlie, slid across the table. I thought, “It looks like Charlie’s skateboarding (滑滑板) Skateboard! That’s it.”
I ran to my room and found an old photo of Jack and me with our first skateboards.
I worked all afternoon on the coolest picture frame ever. It was shaped and colored just like the skateboard Jack had in the photo.
I spoke to myself as I applied the final coat of paint. “I bet this will be Jack’s favorite present!”
When I arrived at the party, I set my gift behind all the others so Jack would open it last. The whole time we were playing games, I kept glancing over at it. Then Jack’s grandmother brought out the cake. Jack blew out the candles. Finally, it was time to open presents. Jack opened a book, a paint set, and a baseball cap. The next-to-last thing was a long heavy box.
“I got two of the same things for my birthday,” Justin told Jack. “So I’m giving one of them to you.”
Jack opened the box and pulled out a super-nice skateboard. “No way!” he shouted. “This is exactly the one I’ve been wanting. Let’s go outside and try it!”
“Um, Jack,” I said, “aren’t you going to open my gift?”
“Oh, of course!” He ripped (撕开) open the present, not even noticing the funny cartoons I’d drawn on the wrapping paper. “Hey, I remember this photo. Thanks, Arizona!” He put down the picture frame, grabbed the new skateboard, and called, “Come on, everyone! We can all take turns!”
Everyone ran outside—everyone except me.

“I can’t find the present you gave me, and do you remember where I put it?” Jack said.

41、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Retirement is the point where a person stops employment completely. The “standard” retirement age varies from country to country, but it is generally between 50 and 70, according to the latest statistics, 2011. However, for a long time, people have got into an argument about whether the age of retirement should be increased or reduced in their own countries.
There are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. Many people think that older employees have a large amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. Besides, older employees are often extremely faithful employees and are more willing to implement (执行) company policies than the young. A more important Point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 or 65 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that practically their useful life is over.
Allowing old people to work indefinitely (无限地), however, is not always a good policy. Some people took the strong view that age alone is no guarantee of ability. Many young employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area for most of their working lives. Having compulsory (强制性的) retirement allows new ideas in an organization. On the other hand, older people should be rewarded by society for their life’s labor by being given generous pensions (退休金) and the freedom to enjoy leisure. They can have time to do whatever they like, that is, they can have their own plans or roles and achieve their retirement goals.
With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual’s freedom—and right—to work. In my opinion, giving workers more choices over their retirement age will benefit both society and the individual.
