1、   Da Mao(大毛) and Er Shun(二顺) are two giant pandas (大熊猫) that have made the Calgary Zoo in Canada their home since 2018. They were expected to live there until 2023. 64. However, they will come back to China earlier than expected.

The zoo announced the news on May 12, saying the decision was made due to COVID-19 travel restrictions (限制). The restrictions have made it more challenging for the zoo to get bamboo for the pandas to eat, Global News reported.

65. According to the zoo, 99 percent of a giant panda's diet (饮食) is made up of fresh bamboo. Each adult giant panda eats around 40 kg of bamboo a day.

“We believe the best and safest place for Er Shun and Da Mao to be during these challenging times is where bamboo is easy to get,” said Dr CI e ment Lanthier, president of the Calgary Zoo.

24、   After more than 30 years of development, Huawei has now beaten Apple and become the world's second-largest maker of smartphones behind Korea's Samsung. It has also become the world's largest supplier of 5G.

But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U.S. government ordered a ban (禁令) on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U.S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei's business would be hurt.

"We have never received such a request (要求) from Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other system to collect information." RenZhengfei, Huawei's founder and president said. "The ban from the U.S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems." Ren added.

In an interview several years ago, RenZhengfei said. "I started Huawei with only E4,000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $ 100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine."

Facing the ban of the U.S., Huawei is growing. Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple declined (下降). So far, Huawei has grown world's largest telecommunications (电信) equipment supplier, selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

25、Bill Fuller, the postman, whistled(吹口哨) cheerfully as he pushed his bike up the hill towards Mrs Dunley’s house. His work for the day was almost finished. His bag, usually quite heavy when he set out on his road, was empty now except for the letter that he had to deliver(递送) to Mrs Dunley. She lived over a mile from that village so that, when Bill had a letter for her, he always finished his day’s work much later. He did not mind this, however, because she never failed to ask him in for a cup of tea.

When Bill entered the gate of Mrs Dunley’s house, he was surprised not to find her working in the garden. She usually spent most afternoons there when the weather was fine. Bill went straight round to the back of the house, thinking that she might be in the kitchen. The door was locked and the curtains were drawn. He returned to the front of the house and knocked hard on the door. There was no answer. Bill thought that this was very strange because he knew that Mrs Dunley hardly left the house.

Just then, he noticed that her bottle of milk, which was delivered early in the morning, was still on the doorstep. This worried him. If Mrs Dunley had not taken in her milk, perhaps she was ill. Bill walked round the house until he found an open window. He squeezed(挤) through it. Then he went into the hall. There he almost fell over Mrs Dunley, who was lying at the foot of the stairs unconscious(昏迷不醒的). Realizing that there was little he could do for her, Bill rushed out of the house, stopped a passing car and told the driver to telephone for an ambulance(救护车) as soon as he got to the village.

【1】What did Mrs Dunley usually do with Bill?

A. She usually asked him to have a cup of tea.

B. She usually had a talk with him.

C. She usually asked him to dinner.

D. She usually asked him to buy some tea.

【2】The thing that especially worried Bill was ________.

A. finding the back door locked and the curtains drawn

B. seeing the bottle of milk on the doorstep

C. not getting any answer when he knocked on the door

D. not finding Mrs Dunley in the garden

【3】How did Bill get help for Mrs Dunley?

A. He stopped a passing car and took her to the hospital.

B. He himself telephoned for an ambulance.

C. He stopped a car and asked the driver to telephone for an ambulance.

D. He asked the driver to take her to the hospital.

26、Three rich ladies met every day by the river. They sat there and talked the whole day. Once the three ladies quarreled(争吵). One of them said. “Look, how white and beautiful my hands are!” Another one said, “My hands are more beautiful.” The third one said, “Mine are the most beautiful ones.” An old beggar（乞丐）woman came up to them. “Beautiful ladies,” she said, “I’m hungry. Please give me something to eat.” But the three ladies gave her nothing. They only asked, “Tell me, old woman, which one of us has the most beautiful hands?”

A peasant（农民）woman was also sitting by the river. She was poor and her hands were rough（粗糙的）because of hard work. The old woman came up to her and said, “I’m hungry. Please give me something to eat.” The peasant woman took out her only cake she had and gave her a half.

The old woman ate it and drank some water. Then she took the peasant woman by the hand, brought her before the rich ladies and said, “Now, I shall tell you whose hands are the most beautiful. The hands of the poor peasant woman are rough because of work, but they give us food; they are far more beautiful than your hands which have never done anything.”

1. The three ladies quarreled one day in a boat.

2. The third lady had the most beautiful hand.

3. An old beggar woman came to the three rich ladies to ask for some food first.

4. The peasant woman had a lot of food.

5. The peasant woman was much kinder than the rich ladies.

27、   It has long been considered one of the best companies, but do you have what it takes to work for Google?

It may take a sharp mind, as an American author says that the search engine giant (搜索引擎巨人) asks its interviewees to answer difficult question.

William Poundstone believes that he has unlocked the secret of how to succeed in an interview at Google in a new book, Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google?

Poundstone lists several of the brain teasers (脑筋急转弯) that are said to be used by Google interviewers, from “can you swim faster in water or in syrup (糖浆)?” to “how would you weigh your head?”

Poundstone told ABC News that any Google’s questions are open-ended on purpose. The interviewer’s goal is to see how the thinking process of the applicant (应聘者) works, and to test his or her creativity when solving problems. He suggests the applicant should “retell the question” in their own words, as doing so gives them time to think and makes sure that they understand what is being asked.

Some of Google’s brain teasers:

* Why are manhole covers (下水道井盖) round?

* How much toilet paper would you need to cover Texas?

* You are shrunk (缩小) to the height of a nickel (五分硬币) and thrown in a blender (搅拌机).

The blades (刀片) start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do?

* How much should you charge (开价) to wash all the windows in Seattle?

* How many times a day do a clock’s hands overlap (重叠)？

【1】What does it take to work for Google according to Poundstone?

A.A strong body. B.Hard work. C.A sharp mind. D.An open heart.

【2】What does the underlined word “unlocked” mean in the passage?

A.探索 B.宣布 C.传播 D.破解

【3】What is it mainly about in William Poundstone’s new book?

A.How to test whether you are a smart person.

B.How to get a job in Google successfully.

C.What questions an interviewer should ask.

D.How to take part in interview training.

【4】Why are Google’s questions open-ended?

A.To see the solving process the applicant uses.

B.Because those questions are not reasonable.

C.To test the applicant’s knowledge.

D.To see whether the applicant can communicate well.

【5】What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Are you smart enough to work at Google?

B.Poudstone’s work experience in Google.

C.Some of Google’s brain teasers.

D.How the best company interviews applicants.

28、In a cold winter, a couple had to move out from their big house because their company went bankrupt. The husband worked day and night to s【1】 the family but with no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn’t love me any more. He just thinks about his b【2】.”
