26、The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer isdown.”
“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”
“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”
I noticed every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I looked down on the computer and asked her, “What do all you people do?”
“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”
“That’s good, sir.”
“How long will the computer be down? I wanted to know.”
“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer—What about your planes? They are still flying, aren’t they?”
“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could, just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he is flying to Washington,” I suggested.
“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”
“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”
“I wouldn’t know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. It can’t tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The words soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.
【1】Where do you often hear the frightening words “Our computer is down”?
A. at the airport. B. At the gate.

27、A fun way to learn about the people in the destinations you travel to around the globe is to drop into a friendly local bar off the beaten tourist track and enjoy a sip of something the region is famous for. To help you have fun, we’ve rounded up how to say “Cheers!” around the world.
Who doesn’t dream of living the good life in France? The food alone is well worth the trip since the French basically invented fine cuisine. They also invented a little golden liquid called the Champagne! Just before your first sip, look at your friends in the eyes and simply say their “cheers”: avotresante!
Is it just us, or is the Italian treat called prosecco sweeping the nation by storm? It’s lovely anytime: brunch, to celebrate something, or just to slowly sip while catching up with a dear friend. It originated in Italy’s Veneto region but is now available all over the world. When in Italy, the most common toast is “salute” or “cincin” (pronounced ChinChin), which has its origins in China. However, do not use this as a toast in Japan. It is what could get you kicked out of a bar or possibly the entire country. If you find yourself in the land of the rising sun, stick with “Kampai!” which means, “Cheers!”
If you haven’t been to Ireland — what are you waiting for? It’s the friendliest place, and one of the funniest on the planet, and the pubs are full of stories, where locals and visitors gather to lift a glass of Guinnessor. The Irish language can be a bit tricky for visitors to grasp but, again, practice makes perfect. Simply say, “SlainteItsw,” pronounced Slawn (to rhyme with pawn) cha (as in cha cha cha). Bottoms up!
【1】What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.An Italian wine.
B.A toast from China.
C.A Japanese custom.
D.A french expression.
【2】What can we learn about Ireland from the text?
A.It is famous for food.
B.Its language is simple.
C.It makes perfect wines.
D.It is well worth visiting.
【3】What does the passage mainly focus on?
A.Ways of making friends in bars.
B.World famous wines that can’t be missed.
C.Suggestions on drinking regionally.
D.Some famous tourist destinations.
28、The endangered pandas in Qinling Mountains might face a new threat:the loss of their food—bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals.
Adult pandas spend most part of the day eating bamboo and have to take in at least 40 pounds a day to stay healthy. However, a new study published in Nature and Climate Change warned that they may soon find their food gone because most of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains might disappear by the end of the century due to the rise of temperature worldwide.
A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has studied the effects of climate change on the bamboo in
Qinling Mountains. They have found that bamboo is very sensitive to climate change. “80% to 100% of the bamboo would be gone if the average temperature increases 3.5 degrees worldwide by the end of the century.” said Liu Jianguo, one of the report’s authors. He added, “This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in the Paris Agreement. But you know what is happening around the world.”
In recent years, China has been trying its best to protect the endangered pandas by setting up more and bigger natural reserves.
“But it is far from being enough and the endangered pandas need cooperation from the rest of the world, because their future is not just in the hands of the Chinese,” said Shirley Martin from World Wildlife Fund (WWF) but not a member of the team.
The Qinling Mountains, in the southwest of China, are home to about 260 pandas. That is about 13% of the China’s wild panda population. In addition, about 375 are living in research centers and zoos in China.
【1】Which can be the best title for the text?
A.Necessity to Change Pandas’ Food
B.A New Threat Faced by the Pandas
C.The Disappearance of Bamboo
D.Efforts Made to Save Pandas
【2】Why is the bamboo in Qinling dying out?
A.Because of illegal cutting.
B.Because of air pollution.
C.Because of global warming.
D.Because of overpopulation of pandas.
【3】What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A.Bamboo adapts to high temperature.
B.China needs more money from WWF.
C.China is making efforts to produce pandas.
D.It is difficult to control the temperature rise.
【4】How many wild pandas are there in China?
A.About 2,000.
B.About 635.
C.About 260.
D.About 2,635.
29、 Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every evening when he came home from the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.
Dad’s comb was bought when he married Mum. Every evening, he would smile, hand me the comb and say: “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?” I was more than happy to do it. This seems a mundane task, but it brought me such joy at that time. I would excitedly turn the tap on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.
About two years later, Dad started his own business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and he didn’t come home as much as he used to. Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home.
Today, I’ve graduated from college and Dad’s business are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me continued. Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early and said to me, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink. It’s a new comb. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. I brushed the comb, and it hit me then: why, as a child, helping my dad clean his comb was such a joy.
I passed the clean comb back to Dad. This time, I noticed my day has aged. But his smile is still as heartwarming as before. Dad carefully places his comb on top of his wallet. After so many years, I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad.
【1】As a child, the author helped her dad clean his comb happily because ________.

C.tired
D.sorry

The Sculptor Speaks
Appreciation of sculpture depends upon the ability to respond to form in three dimensions(维度). That is perhaps why sculpture has been described as the most difficult of all arts; certainly it is more difficult than the arts which involve 【1】 of flat forms, shape in only two dimensions. Many more people are ‘form-blind’ than color-blind. Children learning to see, first distinguishes only two-dimensional shape; it cannot judge distances, depths. Later, for their personal safety and practical needs, they have to develop partly by 【2】 of touch, the ability to judge roughly three-dimensional distances. But after they 【3】 the requirements of practical necessity, most people go no further. Though they may 【4】 considerable accuracy in the perception(知觉,感知) of flat form, they do not make the further intellectual and emotional effort needed to 【5】 form in its full spatial existence.
This is what the sculptor must do. He must 【6】 continually to think of, and use, form in its full spatial completeness. He gets the solid shape, as it were, inside his head—he thinks of it, whatever its size, as if he were holding it completely in the hollow of his hand. He 【7】 visualizes a complex form from all round itself; he knows while he looks at one side what the other side is like, he will have to 【8】 himself with its centre of gravity, its mass, its weight; and he realizes its volume, as the space that the shape displaces in the air.
And the sensitive observer of sculpture must also learn to feel shape simply as 【9】, not as description or reminiscence(回忆,联想). He must, for example, see an egg as a simple single solid shape, quite apart from its significance as food, or from the 【10】 idea that it will become a bird. And so with solids such as a shell, a nut, a plum, a pear, a tadpole, a mushroom, a mountain peak, a kidney, a carrot, a tree-trunk, a bird, a bud, a lark, a ladybird, a bulrush, a bone. From these he can go on to appreciate more complex forms of combinations of several forms.
32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
When Jessica and her husband Edward welcomed their first child, they quickly understood that parenting would not be easy.Edward owned a textile(纺织品) business in Texas,but it was struggling. With a baby at home now, expenses went up, while income stayed the same or even went down in some months.There was constantly a lack of money.
Luckily, Edward's business grew slowly, and Jessica managed to save some money. But just when it appeared that they would be having a less stressful month, another problem knocked at their door : the washing machine broke down again.
After considering her options, Jessica realized that there was no point in getting the machine repaired. Jessica sat down to search online for a machine that she could afford. An hour of searching led her to one good find, but it cost $250, and Jessica could only afford to pay $150. In the end, she decided to see the owner James in person.
Upon arrival,a man opened the door.There was sadness in his eyes.“ How may I help you? ” he asked. “ Hi! I’m Jessica. I messaged you regarding the washing machine. Can I have a look at it? ”“Oh,sure. Come in,” James said. It seemed that the man was planning to move away.
“ Well, I hope you remember I said I wanted to talk about the price,” Jessica said embarrassedly.“I can't extend my budget beyond $150. We just had a baby, and you know things are not so well financially, so I am wondering if you could give me a discount?”
James stood there silently for a while. The woman’s sincere request made him think about his wife again,who had just passed away. He remembered she once told him that if he had the resources,he should help those who are less fortunate.Then he nodded his head in agreement.“Sure. $150 sounds like a good deal to me,” he said. Jessica’s eyes widened in surprise.“Really? You are so nice. Thank you so much!”
Paragraph 1:
As Jessica entered the room, she saw the white machine.
