1、阅读下面短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Recently, 1. a popular song called Good morning, Longhui（《早安隆回》）has drawn wide attention from the public online. Yuan Shuxiong, its songwriter from Longhui County（县）, seems to have become famous overnight and reached the peak of his career at the age of 51 for this magic song.

His increasing popularity has brought him to the highlights of the stages of Hunan TV and CCTV and drawn much attention from the public. Subsequently（随后）, 2. all kinds of discussions about him are going up continuously. Some think he has achieved his success all by luck. This encouraging song just matches perfectly with the short videos of Lionel Messi winning the Championship in Qatar World Cup, which makes the song as well as its writer widely known to netizens. Some believe he has copied others’ works like Singing and Smiling, while others think 3. 他的成功源于多年的努力和永不放弃的精神. As early as the year of 2007, Yuan Shuxiong had already created many wonderful songs of his own, such as Bitter Coffee, Baby in Love, Love You This Way. 4. But none of them could be as popular as this one.

As a matter of fact, this 51-year-old musician once went through many “ups and downs” before becoming famous. He drifted（漂泊）for many years in different cities and even his former wife left him when he was in his darkest days. 5. 幸运的是，他克服了所有困难并最终实现梦想。Just as the proverb goes, “Chances always favor（青睐）the prepared mind.” Let’s expect him to create more great works for his fans and hometown he loves deeply!

25、Do you have any online classes? It is possible to take classes at home. All you need is a computer and a headset (耳机).

However, most students don’t seem to like online classes. According to a recent survey, only 33 percent of students would take such classes. Over 1,500 students from 10 cities took the survey.

Many students said it is hard to focus on studying while taking online classes. This was true for Lian Ruohan, 15, at the Affiliated(附属的) High School of Peking University. “There are no classmates, no real teachers watching me. I can surf the internet or do other things if I want to. It’s harder to always stay focused,” she said.

Lian prepares a lot before taking her classes to make sure she will pay attention. She also pushes herself to communicate with teachers. Students can come up with or answer questions while taking online classes.

But Wen Jiayi, 14, at the Yucai Middle School Attached to Chengdu No 7 High School, thinks online interaction(互动) isn’t enough. “The online teachers don’t really get to know me. When I don’t hand in homework, all I get is a short message instead of real concern (关心),” she said.

However, online classes still have other advantages. “It saves time and money compared to taking offline classes. Also, if I don’t understand some parts of a lesson, I can watch it over again," Lian said.

【1】How many students would take online classes according the survey?

A．About 400.

B．About 500.

C．About 600.

D．About 700.

26、①When you think of hot summer days, what comes to your mind? Eating ice cream from the fridge while staying in an air-conditioned (装空调的) room, right? However, do you know that fridges and air conditioners use lots of energy? Worldwide, 20% of total electricity is used to cool spaces. Yet, at the same time, lack of access (缺少途径) to cooling spaces leads to nearly 40% of heat-related deaths. So some companies are developing new cooling methods that can help us stay safe and reduce pollution.

②Researchers in the US have developed a white paint. The paint can reflect (反射) 98.1% of all sunlight that falls on it. At present, the paints we use don’t cool surfaces(表面) and reflect about 80%-90% of sunlight. It took the researchers seven years to develop the paint. They did thousands of experiments. The results are fantastic—just covering a roof (屋顶) area of 1,000 square feet will produce a cooling power over 10 kw. It’s more powerful than a central air conditioner.

③At the same time, researchers in Saudi Arabia are developing a cooling system that can work without electricity. It uses the energy from sunlight to cool down. The system is based on a natural phenomenon (现象) that happens when salt is added to water. As salt melts in warm water, it takes in energy and cools the water. After experimenting with different salts for their cooling system, the researchers chose ammonium nitrate (硝酸铵), because it is cheap and common. According to the study, within 20 minutes of adding the salt, the system cools to about 3.6℃. And it keeps a temperature below 15℃ for 15 hours! This technology can be used for cooling both spaces and food, after which the salt can be reused.

④If these technologies can be widely used, we will be able to eat ice cream in a cool room without using electricity!

【1】According to the passage, people all over the world use 1/5 of electricity ________.

A．to store ice cream

B．to make air conditioners work

C．to cool spaces

D．to treat heat-related illnesses

【2】What do we know about the white paint?

A．It can only be used to cover roof areas.

B．Researchers spent years developing it worldwide.

C．It’s as powerful as a central air conditioner.

D．It can cool the house when it covers the roof.

【3】Which of the following is the structure of the passage?

A．①—②③—④

B．①—②③④

C．①②③—④

D．①②—③—④

【4】The writer’s purpose in writing the passage is ________.

A．to call on readers to save energy

B．to encourage readers to use new technology

C．to warn readers not to use air conditioners

D．to introduce green cooling methods to readers

27、More than 50 music students of New Milford High School in New Jersey, US, got a letter from their headmaster. The letter said that the music department (系) of the school was in big trouble. The students had to pass a test, or the department would be closed.

The test came on Saturday. The nervous students were required t, o play a piece of music created by Richard Strauss. And they had to sing the words to the music - German words! There were also other difficult tasks. One student had to sing Mary Had A little Lamb, a children's song, in an operatic (歌剧的) voice.

After three hours of testing, the students all waited for the results. They met some students from the New Jersey Youth Orchestra (管弦乐团) while waiting. They had the same test and only got a passing grade.

The worried New Milford High School students started to realize they had no chance. But then the headmaster came and told them something very dramatic (戏剧性的), "Someone has played a joke on you TV "

What was going on?

The test was part of a new reality TV show called "Schooled". The students' parents, the school and a TV network had made it together. Everything was faked. The "students from New Jersey Youth Orchestra" were students from another school. There were hidden cameras. The students' parents were hiding as they watched.

As a reward for putting up with the joke, the students got gifts: MP3 players, digital cameras and school supplies  (文具). They were all from the show's sponsor  (赞助商).

28、   At a recent job fair in China’s Jiangsu Province, some employers offered great welfare packages, i【1】 insurance, holiday presents and paid vacations. These companies were rushed by many job seekers who b【2】 that working in s【3】 great places would make them feel like home．

An article from The Workers’ Daily says if a company fails to p【4】 its employees with a sense of belonging, it will not be able to keep them with a satisfactory salary a【5】．

A unique company culture with human-oriented management is the key to s【8】 keeping good employers. The article concludes that in a society where individual d【9】 is more important than ever, providing a sense of belonging for employees should be the most important thing of a c【10】.
