26、With green mountains and wide beaches — as well as ruins (废墟) from the days of the ancient Greeks and Romans — the island nation of Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean offers a large number of eye-catching places to visit. Here are just a few.

Painted Churches in the Troodos Mountains

The Troodos Mountains, on the southern side of the island, are popular for walker and winter sports fans. But they’re also famous for a group of churches whose inside walls are covered with colorful paintings from as far back as the 11th century. From the outside, the buildings may not look very special, but step inside and almost every stone tells a story of the ancient past.

Ayia Napa

On the east coast, Ayia Napa is the island’s party capital — but that’s not all there is to do. In 2021, the Museum of Underwater Sculpture opened around 200 meters from the beach. Visitors must book with a local diving company in order to see the sculptures, of which there are more than 90. According to artist Jason deCaires Taylor, the idea of the museum is to make people think about the way that humans and nature live together.

Northern Cyprus

The Turkish-speaking northern part of the island — which has called itself an independent state since 1983 — is quieter than the south. But there is lots to see both in the back streets of Girne and Lefkosa — also known as Kyrenia and North Nicosia — as well as the ancient city of Salamis, with its 2,000-year-old outdoor theater.

【1】What are the Troodos Mountains known for?

A．Huge stones.

B．Strange buildings.

C．Ancient churches.

D．Dangerous sports.

【2】What makes the Museum of Underwater Sculpture so special?

D．Its collection.

【3】Where is the text most probably taken from?

A．A historical novel.

C．A geography book.

D．A travel magazine.

27、 I wasn't interested in becoming a model at first. I worked as a receptionist in a beauty shop during high school. It was in South Dakota. A woman who had worked for Vogue—a famous fashion magazine said to me, “Why don't you go to New York and be a model?”

So I went to New York at eighteen. I went to the first model agency, they thought that I was too long-waisted. It was too bad since I came all the way from South Dakota. I did an information check on the internet and found that Hunting Hartford had just bought the agency. I looked up in the telephone book and dialed. Then I went there. About half an hour later, the man who had just taken over the agency—he had been a male model before—came in. I was just staring at this unfamiliar man when he said, “You! Come into my office!”

How do you feel as a fashion model? Quite OK, I should say. But you stop thinking when you are working. It takes a lot of nervous energy as well because the camera goes one, two, three very fast and you have to move very fast. I like my job because it gives me freedom. I can have half a day off to do things I like. I can't do that if I do a normal job. I never like becoming a secretary. They have to sit in the office for eight hours a day, facing the same people.

Most models, after one or two years, can't be still very interested in it. But I like being a model. Maybe I was a born one, as many people say.

【1】Who inspired the author's desire to become a model?

A. A woman customer in the beauty shop.

B. Hunting Hartford.

C. The author herself.

D. The author's father.

【2】Why didn't the author return to South Dakota when she was first refused?

A. Because she had a strong desire to become a model.

B. Because she liked to be a receptionist at a beauty shop.

C. Because Hunting Hartford asked her not to go back.

D.Because South Dakota is far away from New York.

【3】Why did the author like being a model?

A. Because she liked the woman customer.

B. Because she liked the freedom.

C. Because she liked to have a regular work schedule.

D. Because she liked Hunting Hartford.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Perseverance leads to your success.

B. Finding a job you like to do is important.

C. Both A and B.

D. Becoming a model is quite easy.

28、One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”

I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically

The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?

“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.

“It’s your turn,” he said.

After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.

Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one-without any words-can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.

【1】When he first met the author, David ________.

A．looked a little nervous

B．walked energetically

C．felt a little excited

D．showed up with his teacher

【2】David enjoyed being with the author because he________.

A．wanted to ask the author for advice

B．liked the children’s drawings in the office

C．need to share sorrow with the author

D．beat the author many times in the chess game

【3】What made David change?

A．His teacher’s help.

B．The author’s friendship.

C．His exchange of letters with the author.

D．The author’s silent communication with him.

29、In this world of email and text messages, you often don't have to actually talk to people,and you might have developed a fear of talking to new people. 【1】According to Help Guide , a reason for social anxiety is meeting new people and making small talks.

My family went on our annual (每年的) summer vacation in a small house on a lake. Every day we kids are busy swimming, fishing and building sand castle on the beach. By the third day of our vacation, however, something caught my attention. I noticed my 10-year-old sister, Kate, always watching videos and looking through online shops indoors. She was so addicted to her cell phone! Over dinner, I asked Kate whether she would like to go hike to the top of the mountain across the lake the following morning, “Maybe you need put your phone away and enjoy the wonderful scenery. It’s really amazing.”

“Well,” Kate replied unwillingly, “there are some bargains (减价品) tomorrow in several online shops, so I’ll not be available tomorrow.”

“You can’t miss the fresh air and beautiful views here. Hiking is really fun!”

“I cannot walk so far”, she didn’t look up from her soup and mumbled (嘟囔), “and it sounds more like punishment than a vacation.”

When I said it only took us half an hour of steady walk to climb to the top, though reluctant, she nodded, “Fine, I’ll go.”

The weather was fine as usual with clear skies and gentle winds. After packing, I found Kate walking slowly downstairs and in a very unenthusiastic (不热情的) voice, “Ok, I’m ready to go. Tom”

Anyway, when we stepped out of our house, quite a different view unfolded before our eyes. Sunlight brightened on the glassy surface of the lake. Not far away, a rough path wound to the top of the mountain across the lake with flowers and grass on both sides. We began from the path.

“Tom, I’m still wondering if it is a good idea to go hiking.” Kate said, frowning (皱眉).
