26、My grandmother often said to me, “You can count the number of your true friends on the fingers of one hand.” For a long time I thought this was true. However, I’ve now discovered my grandmother was only half right. Maybe we do only make a few best friends in our lifetime, but those aren’t the only people that we can call friends. There are many different types. Let me tell you about a few of them.

One type of friends is the type I call the “football mom friend”. My neighbor Sally is a good example. We both have kids who play football in a football club, and someone has to take them to practice and pick them up. Sally and I and two other mothers take turns to do this. We meet sometimes and have tea and talk about what our kids are doing, but those are the only times that we meet each other. I enjoy being with these women, but we don’t do anything else together.

Another type is called the “hobby friend”. That’s the person you share an interest or a hobby with. Michael and Cater, who are brothers, are a good example of this type. We’re all in a bird watching club. Every few weekends the members of the club go on a trip to watch different kinds of birds. There’s nothing romantic about my relationship with Michael and Cater, of course. We just share interest in birds.

Then there’s the “other half of the couple” type of friends. Jim is married to Rose, a friend that I’ve known since college. When Rose married Jim, I realized that I would have to be Jim’s friend if I want to continue to be Rose’s. Jim and I don’t share so many interests, but we do have a friendly relationship.

【1】What does the first paragraph tell us about?

A. We should make new friends.

B. We need true friends in our lifetime.

C. We must be friendly to all our friends.

D. We have rarely best friends in our lifetime.

【2】Who is the writer’s true friend according to this passage?

A. Sally.   B. Rose.

C. Jim.   D. Michael.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A. The writer herself sometimes takes her kid to the football club.

B. Michael and Cater both fall in love with the writer.

C. Finally the writer agrees with her grandmother.

D. Sally and the writer are close friends.

【4】From the last paragraph we learn that   .

A. the writer made friends with Jim only because of Rose

B. Jim was the writer’s good friend at college

C. Rose didn’t want the writer to be a friend of her husband

D. the writer made friends with Rose because of Jim

27、   In today's Ireland, it seems hard to imagine the grim(令人沮丧的) days of the 19th century when so many of the population starved, or that, in those days, many poor people had no clue how to prepare any food other than boil a potato. 【1】

Tourism has made a vast difference to the standards of cooking in Ireland. Until recently there was hardly any tradition of eating out in many districts, except perhaps on very few occasions at a local hotel. Patterns of diet were old-styled, based firmly on 'meat and two vegetables' (somewhat overcooked), potatoes (of course) and large quantities of dairy produce. 【2】 Tourist demands for predictable, inexpensive fast-food are met, as everywhere, with hamburgers and pizzas - a better bet being fish and chips. But more sophisticated tastes have introduced whole foods and vegetarian restaurants (almost unheard of before), and a vast number of new restaurants, often French in style, have opened in the main tourist centres. Food 'events' such as Kinsale's Gourmet festival or Galway's Oyster Festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food.

Whatever Irish cooking lacks in finesse（精细）, it nearly always makes up for in plenty, and ingredients(成分) are of a high quality. 【3】. One of its great specialities is soda bread. It is made with buttermilk and is served fresh and warm with every meal. Recently there has been a return to simple Irish foods such as stews（炖菜）and potato dishes.

【4】A 'traditional Irish breakfast' is a plateful of bacon and eggs with soda and potato breads. Accommodation rates are nearly always quoted(报价) with a full breakfast included. 【5】

A. So you might as well eat enough to keep you going all day and get your money's worth!

B. Home-grown produce includes rich dairy foods, beef, lamb and pork, and a great variety of seafood.

C. Eating out at weekends is traditional in most parts of Ireland.

D. Now things are very different.

E. Food produce is fresher.

F. One of the best-value meals in Ireland is breakfast.

G. Nowadays, it is quite possible to eat both well and heartily all over the island.

28、Shannan Hearne’s oldest dream was to own a ranch (大牧场). From the moment she was first placed in the horseback at age two, she had always felt most comfortable on it. In February 2020, her dream finally came true, when she and her “ partner in-farm ” , Cory Conley, opened the gates of Sun and Moon Ranch. Then, just a month later, the country went in COVID-19 lockdown. Soon Hearne’s vision began to grow into something bigger.

With eight acres of grasslands and an abundance of sunshine and fresh air, there was no safer way for frightened neighbors to get out of the house. The ranch, Hearne realized, should be for everybody — it would be a place the community could call home.

As the pandemic deepened, locals began to gather there, not just for the free barbecues, but for the chance to put up a hammock (吊床) when they wanted some peace. Recreational vehicles and campers were welcome to pull in for a quiet night after a day on the road. “ I have a vision for the space being relaxing for whoever the universe sent our way — horses or people, ” says Hearne.

One of those people, now 15, was born without fingers on one hand. His grandmother brought him to Sun and Moon for riding lessons. Learning to control a horse with one hand helped him better manage his disability. Plus, a special bond with two of Hearne’s rescued horses, Annie and Honey, was a real leg up confidence-wise. “ There is something empowering about controlling a thousand-pound animal, and I believe this is especially true for children or anyone who struggles with any sort of self-confidence issues, ” Hearne says.

Another boy became selectively dumb after being bullied because of his autism (自闭症). Lesson by lesson, Hearne watched him slowly come out of his shell. Taking the reins (缰绳) helped him feel once again in control of the world around him. “ He went from not answering questions to talking our ears off, ” says Hearne.

【1】In Hearne’s vision, her ranch should be ______ .

A．a big commercial success

B．a healing place in hard times

C．a perfect site for riding lessons

D．an amusement park for children

【2】In paragraph 4, how did the friendship with two horses influence the boy?

A．It improved his riding skills.

B．It helped boost his confidence.

C．It stirred up his love for animals.

D．It taught him to get along with others.

【3】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．A Big Ranch

B．COVID-19 Survivors

C．Sharing the Sun and Moon

D．Coming out of the Shell

29、In 1953, when visiting his daughter’s maths class, the Harvard psychologist B.F. Skinner found every pupil learning the same topic in the same way at the same speed. Later, he built his first “teaching machine”, which let children tackle questions at their own pace. Since then, education technology (edtech) has repeated the cycle of hype and flop (炒作和失败), even as computers have reshaped almost every other part of life.

Softwares to “personalize” learning can help hundreds of millions of children stuck in miserable classes — but only if edtech supporters can resist the temptation to revive (使复苏) harmful ideas about how children learn. Alternatives have so far failed to teach so many children as efficiently as the conventional model of schooling, where classrooms, hierarchical year-groups, standardized curriculums and fixed timetables are still the typical pattern for most of the world’s nearly 1.5 billion schoolchildren. Under this pattern, too many do not reach their potential. That condition remained almost unchanged over the past 15 years, though billions have been spent on IT in schools during that period.

What really matters then? The answer is how edtech is used. One way it can help is through tailor- made instruction. Reformers think edtech can put individual attention within reach of all pupils. The other way edtech can aid learning is by making schools more productive. In California schools, instead of textbooks, pupils have “playlists”, which they use to access online lessons and take tests. The software assesses children’s progress, lightening teachers’ marking load and allowing them to focus on other tasks. A study suggested that children in early adopters of this model score better in tests than their peers at other schools.

Such innovation is welcome. But making the best of edtech means getting several things right. First, “personalized learning” must follow the evidence on how children learn. It must not be an excuse to revive the so-called “scientific” ideas such as “learning styles”: the theory that each child has a particular way of taking in information. This theory gave rise to government-sponsored schemes like Brain Gym, which claimed that some pupils should stretch or bend while doing sums. A less consequential falsehood is that technology means children do not need to learn facts or learn from a teacher — instead they can just use Google. Some educationalists go further, arguing that facts get in the way of skills such as creativity. Actually, the opposite is true. According to studies, most effective ways of boosting learning nearly all relied on the craft of a teacher.

Second, edtech must narrow, rather than widen, inequalities in education. Here there are grounds for optimism. Some of the pioneering schools are private ones in Silicon Valley. But many more are run by charter-school groups teaching mostly poor pupils, where laggards (成绩落后者) make the most progress relative to their peers in normal classes. A similar pattern can be observed outside America.

Third, the potential for edtech will be realized only if teachers embrace it. They are right to ask for evidence that products work. But skepticism should not turn into irrational opposition. Given what edtech promises today, closed-mindedness has no place in the classroom.

【1】According to the passage, education technology can __________.

A．decrease teachers’ working load

B．help standardized curriculums

C．benefit personalized learning

D．be loved by schoolchildren

【2】Which example best argues against the underlined sentence in Para. 4?

A．The students who are better at memorization tend to be less creative.

B．Schools with bans on phones have better results than high-tech ones.

C．Shakespeare was trained in grammar but he penned many great plays.

D．Lu Xun’s creativity was unlocked after he gave up studying medicine.

【3】The author believes that edtech functions well only when it is________.

A．used to replace traditional teaching

B．limited in use among pupils

C．aimed at narrowing the wealth gap

D．in line with students’ learning styles

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To stress the importance of edtech.

B．To introduce the application of edtech.

C．To appeal for open-mindedness to edtech.

D．To discuss how to get the best out of edtech.
