26、   These days, people who do manual (体力的) work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as “white-collar workers” for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the honor of becoming white-collar workers. This can lead to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.

When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls (工作服) and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. Alf’s wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status (身份；地位) is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him ‘Mr. Bloggs’, not ‘Alf’.

【1】What does the case of Alfred Bloggs show?

A. That people often care more about the status of a job than the income.

B. That “white-collar workers” usually wear a suit to go to work.

C. That manual workers prefer to keep their jobs a secret.

D. That office workers earn less than manual workers.

【2】What did Alfred Bloggs do for over two years?

A. He told his wife he worked for the Corporation, when in fact he did not.

B. He dressed himself as a dustman before leaving home every morning.

C. He lied to his wife about his job.

D. He earned twice as much as a white-collar worker.

【3】What does Alfred Bloggs think of his new job?

A. He feels it is a pity because he now earns less than before.

B. He thinks it is worthwhile for his rise in status.

C. He is proud because he earns much more than before.

D. He is satisfied because he no longer needs a shower before returning home.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A. The Double Life of Alfred Bloggs.

B. Money or Status, Which Comes First?

C. The Story of Alfred Bloggs, a Dustman.

D. Truth Will Come to Light Sooner or Later.

27、   Back in March, when the COVID-19 virus had just started its deadly influence across the country and people were terrified about a lack of every daily necessity, Jonny Blue focused on one particularly urgent need. Blue, a 33-year-old doctor saw reports of people buying and storing toilet paper. He came up with a simple yet clever solution.

One Saturday morning, Blue took a piece of cardboard, wrote “Share Your Toilet Paper” on it in huge letters, and camped out on the street corner. “It just inspired me to remind people that if you have a lot of something, that probably means there are people who don’t have very much of it because you took it all,” Blue said. “So sharing it is probably a good thing to keep in mind.”

The response was immediate and positive, with motorists honking horns(鸣笛) in support. Drivers stopped to drop off spare rolls of toilet paper, and, just as quickly, Blue handed them out.

“This guy said he just ran out and was going to a bunch of stores and couldn’t find any,” Blue said as cars went by. “Somebody had given me some, so I gave it to him. He was excited. He was like, ‘Do you want me to pay you?’ I said, ‘No, man. Take it.’”

A moment later, a driver in a white pickup truck slowed down just enough to take out a roll to add to Blue’s collections.

“People are loving it,” Blue said. “They’re honking, smiling, laughing. It’s kind of a hard time right now. People want a sense of community.”

【1】What were people worried about at the beginning of the COVID-19 virus?

A.Unfriendly neighbors. B.Expensive toilet paper.

C.Lack of medical support. D.Not enough daily necessities.

【2】What is the purpose of Blue’s action?

A.To stop buying and storing. B.To encourage toilet paper sharing.

C.To advise people to save toilet paper. D.To help people live a healthy lifestyle.

【3】What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to ?

A.Drivers. B.Letters. C.Motorists. D.Rolls of toilet paper.

【4】Which of the following best describes Blue?

A.Professional. B.Humorous. C.Warm-hearted. D.Outgoing.

【5】What can be a best title for the text?

A.The Toilet Paper Sharing B.Lack of Daily Necessities

C.Influences of COVID-19 D.Useful Advice from a Doctor

28、I remember my grandma sitting at the kitchen table with cucumber pieces stuck on her face. My sisters and I had them on our faces, too. We would just sit laughing at each other and seeing who could stick the most on at once. We looked silly, but it was a good way of cooling down when the apartment got too hot.

From our days as newborns, my grandma raised all three of us while my parents worked. As I got older, my family left the apartment and moved into a new house. I called my grandparents every day. I can't remember all that we talked about, but I remember how much we laughed. Mostly, though, our phone calls centered on my school homework.

Grandma was a Greek who came to America without speaking a word of English. I remember when one of my tasks was to learn the Greek national anthem, she took it upon herself to teach my sisters and me every word. As she sang, her voice was always filled with pride. She didn't Americanize herself to fit in, but brought her roots and planted them firmly.

Now, I visit my grandma once a week in her nursing home. She can no longer walk, eat hard food, or carry out a conversation. She can say a few words at a time on a good day, but the nurses don't understand her, as she's returned to speak Greek.

One afternoon, I was feeding my grandma and a nurse walked up to us and said, “Are you her grandson? Because she knows you — I can tell. She doesn't look at anyone else like that.” I looked over and my grandma's eyes were fixed on me, with the same kind of smile I've known all my life. I got close to her and she kissed me. Of course, she hasn't forgotten.

【1】Why did the kids put cucumber pieces on their faces?

A．To play a joke on Grandma.

B．To get a sense of being cool.

C．To make their face skin more smooth.

D．To do what Grandma asked them to do.

【2】What can we learn about the author's grandma?

A．She was proud of her Greek roots.

B．She was a music teacher in Greece.

C．She learned English through songs.

D．She wasn't used to living in America.

【3】What is stressed in the last paragraph?

A．Grandma's late life.

B．Grandma's serious disease.

C．Grandma's memories of the author.

D．Grandma's deep love for the author.

29、   Consumer electronics once again topped the list of the most wanted gifts this holiday season.

“Seventy-six percent of consumers who plan to buy holiday gifts say that they will spend money or buy at least one technology product; definitely a solid vote of confidence for technology."

Steve Koenig is with the Consumer Electronics Association. He says the group's latest research also shows that Americans this year are spending more on technology products. "Here in 2012, $252 on average the technology spend for consumers this year.”

From tablet computers to smart phones, American shoppers have been lining up to get the newest and coolest electronic devices on the market. There are more choices today than ever before. "It's kind of hard to make a decision."

Tablet computers are one of the best-selling products this year. Brian Tong is Senior Editor of CNET.com. The website reports on tech news and examines the latest electronic products. He says the Apple iPad Mini is one of the most popular tablets. Its starting price is $329. One of Apple's biggest competitors is the Google Nexus 7. It starts at $199.

“Its hardware is more powerful than what's in the iPad Mini, but also it offers you a lot of things like maps that work better than Apple's maps.

But Brian Tong says there is one reason why people may like the iPad Mini more than the Nexus 7. "If you just want to read books and surf the Internet, you don't really need to get an iPad Mini, but if you want the largest robust group of apps（应用软件）that's where the iPad and Apple's ecosystem shines the most.”

Elman Chacon is with the electronics store Best Buy. He says another hot product this season is smart cameras. They connect to the Internet through WiFi. This makes it easy for users to email or upload photographs directly from the camera.“You can literally take a picture and upload it into your Facebook in a matter of seconds. These things are pretty cool because they do a lot of things."

Streaming media boxes also connect to the Internet. People are able to watch web content such as movies and YouTube videos on their televisions. Another popular item is wireless speaker systems. The newest ones work with any device that has Bluetooth technology, including smart phones, laptops and tablets.

【1】According to Brian Tong, why may people prefer the iPad Mini to the Google Nexus 7?

A. Because it is cheaper.

B. Because it has more functions.

C. Because you can read books and surf the Internet with it.

D. Because it offers you a lot of things like maps that work better than Apple's maps.

【2】What does "Its hardware" in Paragraph 6 refer to?

A. The hardware of tablet computers. B. The hardware of the Apple iPad.

C. The hardware of the Google Nexus. D. The hardware of the iPad Mini

D. Mo re Electronics to Choose from
