26、Even though my grandfather, whom I called Papaw, was a farmer, my grandma would iron his work clothes every day. But as the years passed, I began to question this practice. Why in the world did Papaw need his work ironed? Most days, he never saw anyone but me and maybe a few other farmers.
One day when I was about 13, I asked Grandma about it. I wanted to know why she thought she should spend time and effort pressing clothes that were seldom seen and would be filthy in just a short time in the field. She told me that Papaw was the most handsome man in the world. She said he was her best friend and the love of her life. She loved every chance she got to show him off and make the rest of the world jealous(嫉妒的) that he was hers.
Later that day, I looked closely at Papaw. He sure didn’t look all that handsome to me. His hair was thin on top. I really didn’t see how anyone could consider this man the most handsome one in the world. So I asked Grandma about it again a few days later. I told her that I had closely watched him and most certainly didn’t see him as the most handsome man on the earth. She smiled and gave me a girlish smile.
“You just aren’t looking in the right light. He has the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen. His face lights up when he smiles. I iron his clothes every day because he is a man worthy of respect. I want him to look the part every day.” I decided to forget I had ever asked. How could this old woman think that a common old man with false teeth was beautiful?
Years went on, and I watched Grandma and Papaw grow old together. I was probably 30 when it dawned on me what beauty really was — it was Grandma’s ironing Papaw’s pants.
【1】What did the author think of Grandma’s ironing clothes for Grandpa at first?
A．It was not necessary at all.
B．It was wise of Grandma to do that.
C．It was a funny way to show love.
D．It was important for Grandpa to meet others.

A．Worn.
B．Dirty.
C．Useless.
D．Ignored.
【3】How did the author find Papaw’s appearance?
A．Ugly.
B．Special.
C．Ordinary.
D．Very handsome.
【4】Which of the following can best explain the story?
A．Beauty lies in the lovers’ eyes.

27、Earthquakes are a natural disaster—except when they're man-made. The oil and gas industry has forcefully used the technique known as hydraulic fracturing (水力压裂法) to destroy sub-surface rock and liberate the oil and gas hiding there. But the process results in large amounts of chemical-filled waste water. Horizontal drilling (水平钻孔) for oil can also produce large amount of natural, unwanted salt water. The industry deals with this waste water by pumping it into deep wells.
On Monday, the US Geological Survey published for the first time an earthquake disaster map covering both natural and “induced” quakes. The map and a report show that parts of the central United States now face a ground-shaking disaster equal to the famously unstable terrain (不稳定地形) of California.
“Some 7 million people live in places easily attacked by these man-made quakes, ”the USGS said. The list of places at highest risk of man-made earthquakes includes Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio and Alabama. Most of these earthquakes are relatively small, in the range of magnitude (震级) 3, but some have been more powerful, including a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in 2011 in Oklahoma that was connected to waste water filling.
Scientists said they do not know if there is an upper limit on the magnitude of man-made earthquakes; this is an area of active research. Oklahoma has had prehistoric earthquakes as powerful as magnitude 7.
It's not immediately clear whether this new research will change industry practices, or even whether it will surprise anyone in the areas of newly supposed danger. In Oklahoma, for example, the natural rate of earthquakes is only one or two a year, but there have been hundreds since hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, with the waste water filling, became common in the last ten years.
【1】What kind of human activities can cause earthquakes?
A．The man-made produced waste water in the factories.
B．The process of digging deep wells in those poor areas.
C．The advanced techniques used to deal with waste water.
D．The oil or gas industry's work connected with the earth.
【2】What does the underlined word “induced” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Man-made.
B．Reduced.
C．Newly-built.
D．Controlled.
【3】How did the author feel towards the present situation?
A．Concerned.
B．Neutral.
C．Indifferent.
D．Cautious.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Natural Earthquakes in America Are Disappearing Now
B．7 Million Americans at Risk of Man-Made Earthquakes
C．Time for Oil and Gas Industry Change Their Working Practice
D．More Often Earthquakes as Powerful as Magnitude 7 in America
28、Why can’t some people even get an inch of what they dream of becoming? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of setting goals for achieving their dreams.
Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling (攀爬) a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period.
People who set goals literally generate(形成) a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to pause, where to study a bit, and where and when to end. Once this map comes into being, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme(安排) of things and whether or not he is making some planning that will take him closer to his goals.
By setting goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to get their goals or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them.
Goal setting means a person is proactive in dealing with challenges that may affect his plans. Being proactive means one is able to outline possible difficulties that may happen as well as the solutions（解决方法）to these difficulties. By doing this, a person is not easily scared or defeated when challenges happen because he has already prepared for them. He knows they can happen and he has prepared a solution or strategy when that time comes.
Setting goals will enable people to track their progress in whatever hard work they set out to do. It will help people become more confident in themselves and more motivated to get their plans.
【1】The purpose of this passage is to ________.
A. explain the difference between the two goals
B. show the importance of setting goals
C. tell us how to set and achieve one’s goals
D. tell us setting goals makes one confident
【2】The underlined word “proactive” in paragraph 5 may have the closest meaning to “________”.
A. positive B. careful C. brave prepared
【3】According to the author, one had better ________ in making a goal in life.
A. take an active attitude
B. create a scheme as a whole
C. consider the possible troubles
D. check where he is frequently
29、Picture this: You’re at a movie theater food stand loading up on snacks. You have a choice of a small, medium or large soda. The small is $3.50 and the large is $5.50. It’s tough decision: The small size may not last yon through the whole movie, but $5.50 for some sugary drink seems ridiculous. But there’s a third option, a medium soda for $5.25. Medium may be the perfect amount of soda for you, but the large is only a quarter more. If you’re like most people, you end up buying the large.
If you’re wondering who would buy the medium soda, the answer is almost no one. In fact, there’s a good chance the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy (诱饵), making you more likely to buy the large soda rather than the small.
I have written about this unique human nature before with my friend Ariely, who studied this phenomenon extensively after noticing pricing for subscription (订阅) to Geography. The digital subscription was $59, the print subscription was $125, and the print plus digital subscription was also $125. No one in their right mind would buy the print subscription when you could get digital as well for the same price, so why was it even an option? Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two “real” choices were offered, more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription. But the addition of the bad option made people much more likely to choose the more expensive print plus digital option.
Brain scientist call this effect “asymmetric dominance” and it means that people are attracted toward the choice nearest a clearly inferior (较差的) option. Marketing professors call it the decoy effect, which is certainly easier to remember. It works because of the way our brains assign value when making choices. Value is almost never absolute; rather, we decide an object’s value relative to our other choices. If more options are introduced, the value equation (方程) changes.
【1】what’s the function of the example in paragraph 1?
A．To offer background information.
B．To explain an economical phenomenon.
C．To clarify a rule when buying drinks.
D．To arouse the readers’ interest in the topic.
【2】According to the author, why do people prefer the most expensive option?
A．Because they’re confused by the various offered prices.
B．Because they believe they’ve made the best choice.
C．Because they are easily influenced by other buyers.
D．Because they have studied this phenomenon extensively.
【3】The decoy effect works when people _________.
A．pay little attention to price
B．focus on objects’ actual value
C．think about the value equation
D．face a less-than-best choice
【4】From which website would you most probably find this text?
A．https://www.lifestyle.com/health
B．https://www.what-is-on.com/local
C．https://www.consumers.com/money
D．https://www.education.com/science

31、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A few years ago, I enjoyed my summer vacation at New York’s Harriman State Park with a good friend. The place 【1】 we were going to was the beautiful Lake Sebago. It was certainly a nice place with tent platforms, a number of kayaks and swimming areas. It was quite 【2】(convenience) for us to fish there.
As soon as we reached the best nearby fishing spot, my friend began unloading the baggage, and passed me a fishing pole with a piece of red cloth attached 【3】 it. I positioned the pole in what I considered 【4】 (be) the perfect place and tried to cast (扔) the line in the water. After just a few failed tries, I finally had it down. Soon a 10-inch bluegill(蓝腮太阳鱼)caught it. Feeling excited but nervous, I pulled it up. The water was rather shallow (浅), so the fish wasn’t able to sink down or really run with the line. Even though it jumped out of the water several times during my struggle with this very first fish, I was still able to hold on 【5】 (patient).
At this time, my friend began running around the dock like a child madly in search of something. I never realized what that reaction was about until he shouted at me, looking very 【6】 (excite), “Hey, man, congratulations to you. This is the biggest fish that 【7】(catch) by us since half a year ago.”
I caught a total of six fish that day. There are many 【8】 (benefit) from fishing beside a lake or a river. It is both an 【9】(recreate) and an entertainment. I will never be fed 【10】 with such an outdoor activity.
