26、   For thousands of years, the most important building in any British village has been the pub. Traditionally, the pub is at the heart of any village or town, since it is where the people gather to socialise and exchange news. 【1】

British pubs are often old and well preserved. 【2】 One of the most famous examples is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem”, which dates back to the year AD 1189 and is probably the oldest pub in England.

There are many British pubs named after a king or a queen, but of course this doesn’t mean they are only for kings and queens. 【3】 On a cold night, the pub’s landlord or land-lady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.

That’s how it used to be. 【4】 Economic declines and cultural changes are causing many pubs to go out of business. People do not have a lot of money to spend on beer. Additionally, in 2007 smoking was banned in all public indoor spaces, including pubs, which also affected the numbers of customers going to pubs.

【5】 Now there are a number of different types of pubs, such as a “traditional pub” with a large open fire, a “gastro pub” (美食酒吧) serving higher quality food, a “theme pub” which caters to specific types of customers. And with various “save the pub” campaigns, there are signs that pubs are becoming popular again.

A．British beer and pubs are famous around the world.

B．Many of them have become historic sites that tourists visit.

C．After all, the word “pub” is actually short for “public house”.

D．The solution for most pubs has been to improve their food offering.

E．However, there are worrying signs that things are beginning to change.

F．Pubs have always welcomed people from all classes and parts of society.

G．In order to save their business, pubs are trying to diversify to attract new customers.

27、An about 2-meter-wide alley, or “Liu Chi Xiang” in Chinese, now attracts floods of visitors in east China’s Anhui Province. It has a household’s ancient story hidden behind it, which vividly explains the essence of tolerance (宽容) and non-contention widely accepted in China.

During the Period of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, one of his ministers, Zhang Ying, received a letter from his hometown of Tongcheng City in Anhui one day.

From the letter, Zhang learned that his family quarreled with their neighbor, Wu’s family, over the two sides’ house boundary. The local court struggled to reach a final judgement since both families enjoyed high reputation in Tongcheng.

Zhang’s family wrote the letter hoping that Zhang, a high-ranking official in the imperial palace, could force the Wu family to give in.

However, Zhang wrote a poem back saying, “Writing a letter from home, miles away, just for a wall. All that argument over one meter or two. Looking at the ten-thousand-mile long Great Wall, long gone is its builder Emperor Qinshihuang.”

His reply enlightened the family members as the wall was merely a temporary (暂时的) structure. It was the close relationship with their neighbors that mattered.

They decided to move their wall about one meter back for their neighbor. In turn, the Wu family was deeply touched by their generosity and retreated another meter backward in building their wall. It created an about two-meter-wide narrow “alley” between the houses.

More than 30 decades later in modem China, Tongcheng has become a national historical and cultural city, a statement released by the State Council said on Nov. 12.

Among all the valuable historical sites in the city, the narrow alley is one of the popular attractions. It serves as enlightenment, inspiring people to observe public morals and cherish harmony, especially in disagreements and conflicts.

Many locals still live in tiny houses next to each other and share walls with their neighbors. Some problems like noise and division of responsibility when it comes to a broken wall are commonplaces. About 98 percent are successfully handled thanks to the virtues of modesty and harmony rooted in the local culture.

【1】What can we know about “Liu Chi Xiang”?

A．It shows a traditional virtue.

B．It was built by Emperor Kangxi.

C．It was used to memorize Zhang Ying.

D．It is as well-known as the Great Wall.

【2】What did Zhang Ying want to express in the poem?

A．He supported his family to go to court.

B．He advised his family never to give in to their neighbors.

C．He wanted his family to build a great wall between the houses.

D．He expected his family to keep a good relationship with their neighbors.

【3】What message does the author seem to convey in the last paragraph?

A．Zhang Ying’s story has an impact on the local culture.

B．A narrow alley between the houses is a must.

C．Modesty is useless in disputes and conflicts.

D．People in Tongcheng live in tiny houses.

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A．One wall, one family

B．No fight, no union

C．Narrow alley, broad minds

D．Clear boundary, peaceful life

28、The Spring Festival holiday is supposed to be a period of time entirely for family reunion. However, as people’s enthusiasm for digital hongbao increased, the amount of time they spend with family members during the holiday decreases. There has been widespread criticism (批评) over digital hongbao that it has alienated family reunion.

“I used to discuss programs in the Spring Festival Gala (春晚) with my family members, but this year, I barely had time to watch the gala because I was staring at my cellphone all the time,” said Kang, a 30-year-old radio station editor. “I went to karaoke with my cousins during the holiday, and I was grasping digital hongbao the whole time, even when I was singing karaoke.”

“On the last day of the holiday, I started to regret spending too much time on these digital hongbao. Therefore, instead of fighting for hongbao, I watched TV with my morn that night. I left home feeling so sorry! I should have spent more time with my parents.”

But Kang said regret came with a sense of achievement when he managed to bring classmates together. “Next year, I will still play this game, but with less money and for a smaller amount of time,” Kang said.

Dong Chenyu, a teacher from Beijing Foreign Studies University, said it’s unfair to blame hongbao for destroying family reunion.

“When television was invented, people accused it of standing in the way of face-to-face human communication. The same accusation came up on telephone and text message services when they were first invented. The same goes with digital hongbao,” Dong said.

“It does nothing but offers a new way of human communication. The rest is people’s choice. As long as no one expects to earn money from this and takes this as a means of gambling (赌博), it’s a good way to improve human connections,” Dong said.

【1】The underlined word “alienated” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ________.

A．improved

B．separated

C．encouraged

D．reserved

【2】How did Mr. Kang feel about digital hongbao according to Paragraph 2?

A．He felt regretted spending too much money.

B．He was happy to spend too much of his time.

C．He had a strong preference for it.

D．He felt a sense of guilty in getting it.

【3】What can we infer from what Mr. Dong said about digital hongbao?

A．It will bring us trouble in holiday reunion.

B．It will be out of fashion in near future.

C．Lots of people will use it to earn money.

D．Mr. Dong is in favour of digital hongbao.

【4】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A．Spring Festival Reunion

B．Double-edged Sword

C．New Holiday Enthusiasm

D．Family Reunion Destruction

29、Fake news spreads faster and more easily today through the internet, social media and instant messaging. 【1】, which can harm the public health and add to social disorder and division.

Some fake news also contains a mixture of correct information, which makes it difficult to spot what is true and accurate. 【2】. They might not have read the full story before sharing or just glanced over it. Before you decide to share, make sure to read stories properly and follow some checks to determine the accuracy.

If the story appears to claim a much higher level of certainty in its advice and arguments than other stories, this is questionable. 【3】. So, it is only natural to more readily accept information that provides comfort or easy solutions – unfortunately, often in a false way.

【4】, it is worth double-checking. Fake news will try to grab your attention by being more exaggerated than real stories. Anything written entirely in capital letters or containing a lot of exclamation marks should raise your suspicions.

The best sources for authentic information are your government websites. However, even government messaging can get things wrong. 【5】. For instance, The Conversation is a more trusted source because all content is written by academics who are experts in their fields. Websites such as APFactCheck and Full Fact highlight common fake news stories. A search engine can be used to look up the title of the article to see if it has been identified as fake news by the mainstream media.

A．If a story is more surprising

B．If a message presses you to share

C．Fake news may also be shared by trusted friends and family

D．People will be seeking certainty in a time of high uncertainty

E．But they are more trustworthy than unchecked sources on social media

F．Think twice about the messages and help guide your family and friends

G．These messages may contain useless, incorrect information and advice
