25、I used to be a pessimist(悲观主义者), thinking that the worst thing might happen in every situation.

       Last year, my mother had a serious illness. I felt my whole world turn upside down and I had no idea what I could do to help her with her pain. I often cried whenever I was alone.

       Last month, I lost an expensive dress that was a birthday present from my father. I could not fall asleep for a few nights because I felt so terrible about the loss.

       There have been many things like these in my life. I really didn’t know how to deal with them until I read If You Have a Lemon, Make a Lemonade by an American writer, Dale Carnegie.

       “When the wise man is handed a lemon, he asks: ‘How can I turn this lemon into a lemonade? How can I improve my situation? What lesson can I learn from this?’” he wrote.

       I suddenly realized that life is full of ups and downs, so I decided to stay positive(积极的) all the time.

       Now when I think of my past, I wish I could have dealt with things differently. When my mother was fighting with her illness, I should have held her hands in mine, telling her that things would get better instead of hiding and crying.

       Recently, I took part in a school singing competition. I didn’t win a prize. If I had not read the article, I would be sad and disappointed again. But I smiled after the competition because at least, I had got some experience in the singing competition.

       Life is not just a bed of roses. There are thorns(刺) as well, but these thorns help us become braver and better. When life offers us a lemon, let’s try to make a lemonade.

【1】What kind of thing might happen in every situation, according to a pessimist?

A．The worst thing.

B．The best thing.

C．The happiest thing.

D．The latest thing.

C．The singing competition made the writer sad.

D．Thorns in life can help us become better.

【5】What would be the best title for the text?

A．A Bed of Roses

B．An Article I Enjoy Most

26、阅读理解

 (2014杭州)

  How quickly can you count from one to ten？Do you use ten different words to do it？Can you do it in English，or do you have to use your first？language？Do you count on your fingers？Many

people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world．But scientists have discovered that it is not true．

  People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers．In the United States，people begin counting with their first finger，which they extend or stick out．They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指)to count to five．Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten．In China，people count by using different finger positions．In this way，a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand．

  Besides ways of finger counting，scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers．Some languages have only a few words for numbers，and others have no words for numbers．A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的)people in Australia．There people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers．They don’t even have words for numbers．However，they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers．

  In a similar study，researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe(部落)in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as“one”or“three”．They are not able to say“five trees”or“ten trees”but can say“some trees”．“more trees”．or“many trees”．Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count，“but here is a group that does not count．They could learn，but it’s not useful in their culture，so they’ve never picked it up．”

  Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量)，not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting．Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives．Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math，too．

【1】The writer begins with the four questions in order to________．

A.make a survey

B．interest readers

C．tell a story

D．solve math problems

【2】What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the US and China？

A．People from China count much faster than people from the US．

B．People from China need two hands to count from one to ten．

C．People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting．

D．People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting．

【3】Which of the following is true about aboriginal Australians？

A．They have only a few words for numbers．

B．They have hand movements to stand for numbers．

C．They can only count to five on their fingers．

D．They can understand different ideas about numbers．

【4】The study of the Piraha tribe shows that________．

A．people all over the world know how to count

B．people of the tribe have words for numbers

C．some groups of people are not smart enough to count

D．counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe

【5】What is the main idea of the passage？

A．People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math．

B．Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans．

C．In some aboriginal cultures，people don’t even know how to count．

D．Some languages don’t have number words because people don’t need numbers．

27、   The novel coronavirus (新冠病毒) made this year’s Spring Festival holiday very different for most of us.

Many places in China began a first- level emergency (突发事件) response to the virus in mid-January, calling for people to stay at home. Following these rules, most people gave up family gatherings during the Spring Festival and canceled any festive celebrations.

It’s the quietest Chinese New Year I’ve ever had,” Xin Jingrong, a 14-year-old student from Nanning, Guangxi said. For the first time in years, Xin’s grandmother had to cancel her trip to Nanning and stay alone in her hometown.

The control measures not only separate many families, but also make daily life inconvenient. Many shops are closed, delivery services are slow, and wearing masks in public has become a must. Although it is inconvenient, people are still showing their understanding and cooperation (合作).

Tong Zexi, a 15-year-old student from Harbin, has not gone out in more than 20 days. “I know I need to protect myself and cause no trouble. In this critical (关键的) tit in time, when one gets sick, many others could be affected.”

Apart from simply following the rules, some people have done amazing things to help fight the outbreak.

On Feb 3, Zhao Junyan, a Junior 2 student from Shanghai, brought 15,000 masks from Indonesia back to China. People’s Daily reported. Zhao, while traveling in Jakarta, collected the masks with his uncle, who works in the city. The 15-year-old donated (捐赠) all of the masks to Cangnan, Zhejiang, his hometown.

“When a country is in trouble, everyone is responsible to help,” Zhao said to the media. “What I have done is what an ordinary Chinese person can possibly do.”

28、   Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies,【1】(swim) and horse riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept【2】touch through letters, and we saw each other on great moments—like my wedding and【3】(Linda). Soon, we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote【4】(little) often. One day, a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown”.

Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted【5】(share) happiness of my children and then grandchildren, and my sadness when my brother, and then mother, died. There was【6】empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

One day, I【7】(read) a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman—her husband's name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought,【8】I still wrote to her.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”

Minutes later, I heard a voice that I knew very【9】(good), even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s life. Now, the empty place in my heart【10】(fill). And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!
