26、   Have you heard about “Survival Holidays”? It is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.

The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.

Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (干扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled (控制) by adults, which causes many problems. Children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.

Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in dangerous times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

【1】What is “Survival Holidays” according to the passage?

A. It is summer holidays.

B. It is winter holidays.

C. It is a kind of holidays to escape from danger.

D. It is a holiday to go into the lonely place for exciting activities.

【2】Which children may take part in “Survival Holidays”?

A. Poor children. B. Rich children.

C. Children from cities. D. Children from the countryside.

【3】What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. The reasons people dislike “Survival Holidays”.

B. The advantages of “Survival Holidays”.

C. The disadvantages of “Survival Holidays”.

D. The suggestions of taking part in “Survival Holidays”.

【4】In a “Survival Holidays” children can learn the following except ________.

A. how to get good grades B. how to stay calm in different times

C. how to keep safe when they meet danger D. how to work in a team

27、   People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.

Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.

“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth.”

According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.

The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.

It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”

In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.

【1】The discovery shows that Westerners _____________.

A.pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth

B.consider facial expressions universally reliable

C.observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways

D.have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions

【2】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?

A.The participants in the study. B.The researchers of the study.

C.The errors made during the study. D.The data collected from the study.

【3】What can be the best title for the passage?

A.The Eye as the Window to the Soul

B.Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions

C.Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills

D.How to increase Cross-cultural Understanding

28、   “A child is dying out of breath!” I had just began my working day in the city, when these words came through the radio of the police car I was driving. I turned on the red lights and siren (警笛) and drove off as fast as I could, “Just my luck!” I thought. I did not know this city well and my first call of the day was a life­and­death sudden happening several kilometers away.

I got to the house. A mother, filled with fear, handed me her baby, her face already blue. Was I too late? Dear me!

I did what I had been taught to do in such a serious condition. A small thing flew out of the baby’s mouth onto the floor. It was a button. Thank heaven! The holes in it let a little air through.

A doctor rushed into the room with an oxygen bag.The baby began to cry at the top of his voice, burned red and started to look for his mother. He was angry but was saved.

A.the writer arrived in time B.the writer had been taught what to do at that time

29、   Starbuck’s founder, Howard Schultz, came up with an idea for his coffee chain while drinking espresso(浓咖啡) in a bar. He took a good product, repackaged it and globalized it. But to many Italians, the coffee served by Starbucks and other branded stores is as far away from proper Italian coffee as you can get, despite the Italian-sounding offerings on their menus.

Now, I am part-Italian and like most Italians, I think that Italy represents the height of coffee culture, against the standard by which all coffee should be measured. My Italian friends and family hate the idea of adding a little sugar juice or other things to their valuable cappuccino(卡布基诺). I have a coffee machine at home, which is to the Italian kitchen what the kettle is to the British. As far as I’m concerned, the cappuccinos, lattes(拿铁) and espressos served in branded coffee chains taste bitter, a low copy of the real thing.

You’d never ask for a latte in Italy. If you did, you’d get served a glass of milk. Coffee and espresso are the same in Italy. Then there’s the Australian “white coffee”, a halfway house between a Starbucks-style latte and a macchiato(玛奇朵). The “white coffee” has gone global so much that recently it replaced the cappuccino on Starbucks’ menu in some parts of the US.

What’s more, Italians don’t waste time around in coffee shop armchairs drinking cappuccinos while surfing the Internet. Still, when it comes to taste, Italians are trying to reclaim the ground. Part of the problem is the price of coffee. Most Italian bars will not charge more than one euro a cup, which means there isn’t the choice to purchase more high-quality coffee. Italian flavor is held back by the way the coffee is boiled.

I still think I’ll be sticking to home-made coffee from my trusted machine. And I’ll continue to drink it in the Italian way.

【1】What’s the purpose of telling the story of Starbucks in Paragraph 1?

A.To introduce the topic of the passage. B.To introduce the history of Starbucks.

C.To present the standard of good coffee. D.To explain the key to the success of Starbucks.

【2】In the author’s opinion, the coffee served in Starbucks and other branded stores _______.

A.contains too much sugar juice B.represents the Italian coffee culture

C.is very different from that served in the US D.cannot meet the Italian standard of good coffee

【3】Italians prefer home-made coffee due to the fact that _______.

A.home-made coffee is much cheaper

B.they can produce proper Italian coffee at home

C.each family has a tradition to use the coffee machine

D.they can have access to the Internet when drinking coffee at home

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

When Edith heard there was a competition to invent a brand-new machine, she longed to enter. Her idol (偶像), the famous inventor Mathew, was going to be the judge! Edith planned and worked on her invention every day after school. Finally, a huge light-up music box was finished—just in time for the competition. She was sure it would win first prize. Everyone would certainly be amazed when the lights shone and the music began to play.

However, when Edith slowly turned the handle (手柄), nothing happened. The machine needed more power.

Edith turned the handle faster, but no matter how quickly she went, she couldn’t get more than a flash from the lights. There was no way this would win and she had run out of time to fix it.

On the competition night, Edith went to the town hall with a heavy heart. She set up her music machine, feeling like a failure.

Mathew burst through the doors on his bike, whose pedals (脚踏板) gave off light. Everyone cheered excitedly. He got off the bike and walked around the rooms to see the inventions on show. Edith was nervous as he came over. “Can you tell me about your machine?” he asked. “It is a music machine that lights up.” Edith said in a low voice. Mathew clapped happily. “Amazing! Show me how it works.”

Edith turned the handle faster than she’d ever managed before. Terrible slow music started and the lights flashed on and off. Someone nearby laughed. Edith’s cheeks turned red. “Don’t worry.” Mathew smiled, “All my inventions went wrong when I was younger. You mustn’t give up.” Hiding behind the machine, Edith couldn’t wait for the competition to end.

The judging had almost finished when suddenly the lights of the hall went out. No one could get the lights to work and the competition couldn’t carry on. Edith thought for a moment. If only she were stronger, she could have turned the handle of her machine faster and lit up the room. In the dark, Edith could just see Mathew climbing onto his bike, with his pedals glimmering (发出微光).
