26、What is the first thing that pops into your mind when someone mentions a construction site? Is it the dusty air, the noise of heavy machinery, the toiling workers soaked(湿透的) with sweat or the quiet enjoyment of books?

The latter is what one construction site in Xiamen city, East China’s Fujian province, is now known for. It quickly became the focus of attention on World Book Day, which fell on Saturday, thanks to a construction contractor(承包商) building a library for the site’s 200-plus workers.

The library is located in a portable container that is around 18 square meters. It was set up by China Construction Third Engineering Bureau Group Co, earlier this month to promote reading and bring knowledge and pleasure to the construction workers.

Over 2,000 books in different categories, are neatly placed on shelves. On the wall hangs a bulletin board listing six rules for borrowing books. The room is air-conditioned so the workers can read comfortably there.

“I like reading all kinds of books, ranging from nonfiction to romantic novels. The library has them all, ” says Li Chenghai, a migrant worker from Southwest China’s Sichuan province.

Compared with playing games on mobile phones or getting hooked on short-video apps, Li prefers reading as books can help him remain calm and broaden his horizons.

Li’s view is echoed by his fellow worker Dongqun, who also comes from Sichuan. Dong is more interested in books on health, cooking and parenting. “The work at the construction site is tiring. I want to learn something to keep myself healthy and inspire me in my daily life,” Dong says. She has worked on many construction sites, but this is the only one with a library.

Yi Jingxing, a 45-year-old worker, also frequents the library. “I like martial arts novels. Whenever I am free after work, I come here to read,” says Yi, who dreamed of being a martial arts hero as a kid.

【1】Which of the following statements is not correct according to the passage?

A．Dong’s view is quite similar to that of Li’s.

B．Reading books enables you to be better prepared for what the future holds in store for you.

C．There is a wide range of books for readers in the library.

D．Reading has gained its popularity among migrant workers in China.

【2】The underlined phrase “getting hooked on” in paragraph 6 can best be replaced with_________.

A．getting accustomed to

B．getting stuck in

C．getting addicted to

D．getting involved in

【3】Where can you find this piece of reading?

A．A travel journal

B．A news report

C．A science report

D．A story book

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．It’s never too late to learn.

B．Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.

C．Black hair does not know how to study early, white head regrets studying late.

D．Not until knowledge comes to use will we regret that what we read is far too less.

27、To this paper-cutting artist, Shi Qinling, scissors are like what brushes are to painters, or what pens are to writers. Always having a pair of scissors on her also allows her to create art whenever inspiration hits. “Some people like to pen their feelings in diaries. I prefer to cut them out,” says the 35-year-old, who is currently working at the Fenglin community cultural activity center in Shanghai.

Shi developed an interest in handicraft when she was a child who often found herself alone at home. Out of boredom, she would play with paper, folding and cutting them into different shapes. This interest later developed into a passion, one that she decided to pursue by majoring in arts and crafts design during her time in university.

After graduation, however, she found herself working at a ship design company as she was unsure about what she wanted to do with her future. About a year later, the Shanghai Arts and Crafts Research Institute offered her a position in their paper-cutting department. Realizing that she still had a love for the craft, she switched her career.

In 2010, she started learning paper-cutting from Xi Xiaoqin, the national inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage for paper-cutting. Three years later, one of her works, The Fighting Fish, won third place at the Baihua Cup, a competition for Chinese arts and crafts. Six years later, Shi was named a Shanghai paper-cutting inheritor and become the city’s “youngest inheritor” of the paper-cutting heritage.

【1】What can we learn about Shi from Paragraph 1?

A．Scissors are important for her for self-protection.

B．Scissors are significant for her for artistic expression.

C．She creates art by drawing whenever she has inspiration.

D．She is a paper-cutting artist as well as a painter and writer.

【2】Why did Shi work at a ship design company after graduation?

A．She was at a loss what to do in the future.

B．She majored in ship design in university.

C．She was sure that she loved to design ships.

D．She wanted to be an inheritor of the company.

【3】What does the underlined word “switched” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Adopted.

B．Hatched.

C．Changed.

D．Reformed.

【4】What can we infer from Shi’s experience?

A．Interest is the best teacher.

B．Pride goes before a fall.

C．It’s never too late to learn.

D．All roads lead to Rome.

29、While you are probably familiar with the characteristics of the type A personality (hard-driving, ambitious, perfectionist), you might not be familiar with the type B personality. People with a type B personality are often described as easy-going, relaxed, and highly flexible. The type B personality is basically the opposite of the type A.

The type A and type B types were first introduced during the 1950s by cardiologists (心脏病专家) Rosenman and Friedman who were interested in how an individuals personality might serve as a predictor for heart disease later on in life. As researchers continued to explore this link,they noted that certain groups personality traits(特点) seemed to have a link to specific physical illnesses.

People with type A personality traits such as aggression and competitiveness were found to have a greater risk of developing high blood pressure and heart disease. People with Type B personalities, on the other hand, had a lower risk of heart problems.

So what exactly distinguished this type of personality? The type B personality lacks the behavior typically seen in the A type. The type B personality is characterized by a set of traits that include flexibility, low stress levels, relaxed attitude, patience, creativity. It is important to remember that everyone tends to experience the above traits to some degree from time to time. People with the type B personality, however, exhibit these traits more often. Knowing your type can help you better understand your tendencies, including your potential strengths and weaknesses.

Some have suggested that since type A behavior is more connected to heart problems, there might be some benefit to helping people adopt more of a type B approach. However, as some researchers point out, doing so could also lead to negative outcomes. If an ambitious driven workaholic(工作狂) stopped displaying typical type A behavior, it could lead to reduced productivity, decreased job function,and even loss of income. These effects could then negatively impact health by increasing stress levels.

【1】What are people with a type B personality like?

A．Flexible, ambitious and patient.

B．Flexible, patient and creative.

C．Stressed and hard-driving.

D．Outgoing, hard-driving and creative.

【2】Why did the cardiologists put forward two types of traits?

A．They wanted to understand people's potential strengths and weaknesses.

B．They thought these two types could lead to different physical illnesses.

C．They wanted to find out how people 's personalities affect their health..

D．They thought these two types play different roles in developing high blood pressure.

【3】What will happen if type A people adopt a type B approach, according to the text?

A．They might be more creative.

B．They could gain a lot of benefits.

C．They might suffer from poor work efficiency.

D．Their health condition could be greatly improved.

I had been in the wilderness before; most of my ______ had been spent outdoors climbing mountains in a group. But being here alone had a completely different effect. What ______ as a seemingly meaningless thing turned into a beneficial one that I knew I would use fully. When it started to rain, I got wet ______ I hadn’t set up my tarp(油布) correctly, which was my fault. There was no one else to ______. The realization that I was responsible for ______ all time and action and overcoming all conflict had an immediate effect. ______ I began to see myself as an individual good at overcoming challenges of any environment.

As the hours went on, I became very hungry. Strangely, ______, things became clearer. The unpleasant conditions had in fact produced a growth process, one that made me ______ my role as a human being. Looking back, I value those moments of my lying in a wet sleeping bag in the middle of nowhere.
