26、 Princess quiz time! How did Snow White survive? How did Cinderella (《灰姑娘》) leave her evil stepmother? How did Sleeping Beauty finally wake up?
A kind-hearted person always comes to save the princess, like a prince or a godmother. Princesses cannot protect themselves, though they are very pretty and nice. They always need the help of others. However, in fact, women can’t put their life in the hands of a prince-like man. They need to work and even fight for their own happiness. The traditional image (形象) of a princess is getting out of date.
Recently, Disney, a company famous for its princess movies, posted the “top 10 rules for being a modern princess”. You will not find any rules related to beauty or looks. The rules highlight loyalty, honesty and other moral values. The rules say princesses need to believe in themselves and try their best to get out of trouble, instead of waiting for a prince’s help.
It’s not the first time Disney princesses have caught up with society’s development. In 1950, when people’s hearts were broken by World War II, Disney created Cinderella. In 1990, Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast (《美女与野兽》) loved reading when education was a man’s special right in the past. Belle showed the improvement of women’s position in society. Now is Elsa from the film Frozen (《冰雪奇缘》), a symbol of modern princess.
“This is brilliant — ‘The top 10 rules of being a modern princess’ — (it’s) about time,” a group named Confidently Mom said on social media website Twitter. Princesses are still very beautiful, but inner character is the key to being a princess.
【1】What should modern women be like according to para2?
A.They should care about their appearances.
B.They should turn to others for help.
C.They should depend on men to change their lives.
D.They should depend on themselves for their own happiness.
【2】What are Disney’s rules for a modern princess centered on ?
A.Her beauty. B.Her moral values.
C.Her education. D.Her position in society.
【3】Why has Disney been changing the images of a princess according to para4?
A.To meet the need of the world peace.
B.To improve girls’ education.
C.To improve girl’s position in society.
D.To keep up with the development of society.
【4】What does the group Confidently Mom think of the rules?
A.Doubtful. B.Meaningless.
C.Fantastic. D.Terrible.
27、 Entering the already crowded festival site, I was a little uneasy. I'd heard discouraging tales of muddy fields, shocking toilet facilities and not being able to find your tent among so many others exactly the same as yours. I had, of course, tried to prepare for every possibility.
The five-day Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts is the largest open-air music festival in the world. But it's not just music at the festival. As I wandered about the site, I realized that this was, indeed, a festival of performing arts. There were theatre tents, dance performances, and mime artists all over the site. You certainly wouldn't starve in this place, either. I'd never seen so many food stands (摊位) in my life.
The famous Pyramid Stage had its usual lineup of great bands and there were plenty of big names playing on the Other Stage, too. In fact, there were so many stages, with so many different types of music and things going on, that it was really difficult to see and do everything you wanted to. I found myself running from one stage to the next, trying to catch at least part of my favourite acts, and still missed a few altogether.
Then it was all over, and I had to pack up my possessions and head back to the real world again. It had been a pleasant surprise to discover that 100,000 people filled into muddy fields could still manage to have the time of their lives. Tickets aren't cheap, but since over £1 million in profits from the festival goes to charity, it would be childish to complain. I left holding the souvenirs bought from various stalls, and with a warm, happy feeling that I'm sure is shared by anyone who has experienced the magic of the Glastonbury Festival.
【1】How did the author feel when she arrived at the festival?
A. She was sorry for being late.
B. She was shocked by the toilets.
C. She was afraid the festival would not be enjoyable.
D. She was regretful that her favourite artist was not there.
【2】What impression did the author get walking around the festival site?
A. It was a theatrical festival.
B. There was little food to eat.
C. It was easy to get lost on the site.
D. There were lots of performances to see.
【3】Which of the following surprised the author?
A. The money from the festival would be donated to charity.
B. Tickets for the festival were very expensive.
C. The festival was pleasant despite the lack of comfort.
D. Over 100,000 people enjoyed the muddy fields.
【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To share an impressive experience.
B. To advertise a traditional festival.
C. To tell a discouraging story.
D. To report a rare event.
28、 When Natalie Hampton was 12, she was a student at one of the best schools in Los Angeles. Yet she was deeply unhappy.
While in seventh and eighth grade, Natalie was bullied (欺凌) by her classmates. She was physically attacked. A classmate even held a knife up to her neck.
The worst part? The bullies turned Natalie into an outcast. She ate alone in the dining room every day. “I became afraid to go to school,” said Natalie in a recent interview. “I felt worthless.”
In 2014, Natalie began ninth grade at a new school with a “kind student body.” Still, she never forgot how terrible the bullies made her feel. For that reason, whenever she saw kids eating by themselves, she would invite them over.
“Being included has made a difference in their lives,” said Natalie, now 16. This experience encouraged her to create an app (应用程序), Sit With Us, which was started in September 2016.
Sit With Us is a lunch-planning app that helps students who feel alone find a group to hang out with. Kids can also help end bullying and invite others to their lunch table. This way, anyone who doesn’t have friends to sit with can find a friendly table to join.
“The Sit With Us app should help lessen fears of lonely kids,” wrote author Susan Newman. “It’s always good to have a support (支持) team at the lunch table.”
What is Natalie’s hope for Sit With Us? “To reach as many kids as possible,” she said, adding that the app is already being used by kids in Australia and Europe.
Natalie was recently awarded (授予) President George H. W. Bush’s Points of Light Award for her invention. The award honors those who help change and improve the world.
【1】What troubled Natalie when she was 12?
A.She had to go to a new school.
B.She was hurt by her classmates.
C.She found it hard to be friendly to others.
D.She failed to help those who were bullied.
【2】The underlined word “outcast” in Paragraph 3 refers to a person ________.
A.who is not useful B.who dislikes food
C.who bullies others D.who is not accepted
【3】How does Sit With Us help kids?

B.Invite more kids to her lunch table.
C.Invent other apps like Sit With Us.

29、 A good training partner can be a great asset(有用的人)to your training but if you get stuck with a bad one,it could lead you down the road to frustration. 【1】Here are a few things to look out for: Dependable. Choose someone who you are sure will show up for every scheduled workout or who will call you if they can't make it. It is a drain(消耗) on your valuable energy especially before training to have to constantly remind your partner.
Attitude. Get a partner with a positive attitude. This is very important. If they constantly say that something impossible or that they can't or you can't do something,you may end up believing them. 【2】
Open mind. Get a partner with an open mind. Someone who has to do things his or her way all the time,will not listen to you and will not change his or her mind isn't a good partner. 【3】The leader should take into account the needs and feelings of the other partner not totally ignoring them.
Spotting. Get someone you feel comfortable with spotting you. One of the main roles of a training partner is spotting and if you don't trust them,there's not much point in having them around to help.
【4】If you are a beginner,try to find someone who knows what they are doing. You will get more out of your training than if you train with another beginner.
While there are a number of advantages of having training partner,there are also advantages of working alone. 【5】
A.Training level.
B.Similar strength levels.
C.Be selective when choosing a training partner.
D.Find someone with a similar training goal as you.
E.In every partnership,one person will tend to be the leader.
F.Do not train with someone who is satisfied with no improvement.
G.In the end,it is really up to you whether or not you need a training partner.
