26、Benito Juarez，a poor Indian boy，was twelve years old when he left his village home in December 1818.Benito walked forty-one miles to the city of Oaxaca，high in the mountains of Mexico. When he heard the Spanish spoken by the city people，Benito didn't know what they were saying.

First，Benito became a servant for a wealthy gentleman，Serer Maza. Soon，he went to work for Antonio Salanueva ,a church(教会)librarian.Antonio repaired and copied the library books，keeping them in good shape.  Benito became his helper and his housekeeper.Antonio loved to teach.Benito soon became his student as well as his servant.With the help of Antonio，Benito learned to speak，read，and write Spanish.

At that time in Mexico，many people believed that Indians were not smart enough to read or learn.Antonio knew that was not true.Indians had been prevented from learning by a lack of schools. The first Spanish missionaries(传教士)who came to Mexico had educated the native people. In fact，churches from Spain had built the first college on the North American continent(大陆)for the Indians. As more Spanish came to Mexico，however，the Indian children were crowded out of the schools.

Benito was a good and bright student，so Antonio developed a plan for him. In 1821，when Benito was fifteen，Antonio decided to enroll him in a school for boys.Antonio taught Benito what he needed to pass the entrance test for the school.

Benito became a student at the college.His studies were difficult，and he was teased because he was the only Indian student there.He succeeded in spite of these challenges.Later，as the laws changed，Benito was able to attend a public college with other Indians.

Benito Juarez continued his education and became a lawyer and，much later，the President of Mexico from 1861 to 1872. He led the Mexican people to victory over the French，who tried to rule Mexico，and fought for the rights of Indians. He is one of the great heroes in Mexican history.

27、   When I was a kid, my only interest was watching television. But now, my interest is reading, thanks to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the first book I ever read that inspired me to read.

This wonderful book pulled me in with its adventure. It's about a boy, Harry Potter, who discovers he's a wizard. After this, his life becomes full of uncertainty. He starts his new school and makes two best friends. Then Voldemort, the man who killed Harry's parents, comes to steal the stone that will extend his life. The three bravely defeat the bad guy. This was a life-changing book for me. After finishing it, I really started to enjoy reading. Ever since then, I don't ever put a book down before I'm finished with it.

When I read a book, it inspires me and shows me a different world. It makes me excited. When I read, I never get bored. Books can also change my state of mind. Regardless of how angry, depressed, or stressed I am, a book will make me happy.

Since I started reading, I have learned that even if I'm not comfortable with something, I should try it out. It might turn out to be something I love doing. It might even become another one of my interests.

28、When I was twenty years old, my grandmother invited me to Europe for two weeks. I had never been to foreign countries before, so I was especially excited about the trip. When I told one of my professors about the trip, he suggested, “Keep a journal（日记）.” More than ten years later, I am so thankful for his suggestion, as I can look back on this first trip to Europe through my journal.

Keeping a travel journal is very simple. Bring a journal with you during your vacation and write down the things that interest you. Interestingly, what appeals to you may not be the tourist attractions but some small things, such as something in your hotel room, and a talk you hear by chance. Your journal is the best thing you can bring back from a vacation.

It is a great idea to choose a good journal style that you like. Whether it is lined or unlined paper, pick up a journal that feels good in your hands. The size of your journal is also important. Some people feel that a travel journal should be small and easy to carry, while others prefer a larger-sized journal. My journal has always been about 8×11 inches. I haven’t found any real problems with carrying it. It fits well into a backpack. A good tip is to get some type of waterproof（防水的）cover for your journal. You never know when something in your bag may leak（渗漏）, or it may start to rain, which can just ruin your journal.

In addition, consider carrying some plastic bags to bring back some pictures and postcards so that you can put them in your journal. You will probably find some things during the day that you want to attach to your journal at night in your hotel.

Always carry something to write with when you have your journal. Consider carrying a variety of pens, markers, or pencils so as to make your journal look more beautiful. Even if you are not very good at drawing, a journal has a way of freeing your creative juices. You will find yourself quickly drawing things or writing poems at the sides of the pages in your journal.

Tourist maps are also a wonderful thing to consider adding to your journal because they show where you have been. You can add parts of the map to show where you have been that day and then another part on another day to show where you have been the following day.

Bring a tube of glue to stick postcards and pictures to your journal. You can cut the pictures and postcards into the shapes you like so that you can make your journal look more beautiful. Keep these things handy in a plastic bag so that you can find them easily.

There are so many things you can consider writing in your journal, such as the sights you have seen that day, a meal you have had, a person you have seen in a museum, a cafe that has caught your attention, your feelings about your trip or about the hotel you have stayed in, and a list of the things you also wish to do during your vacation. These are all the small details that do make up your trip.

【1】The author is grateful for his professor’s suggestion because ________.

A. he has got into the habit of keeping a travel journal

B. he had a good time with her grandmother in Europe

C. he has learned a lot about how to keep a travel journal

D. he can think of his first trip to Europe with the journal

【2】What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?

A. What kind of journal style to choose.

B. What size of journal to pick up.

C. Why to take a journal while travelling.

D. How to protect the journal against damage.

【3】What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To suggest what to write in a travel journal.

B. To give some tips on keeping a travel journal.

C. To show what we should bring while taking a trip.

D. To explain why keeping a travel journal is important

29、Sometimes your parents might ask you to write thank-you notes to people but you might not want to do it. However, writing thank-you notes can not only make you feel good but also make the person getting the note feel good.

Amit Kumar is a professor at the University of Texas. He worked with Nicholas Epley to do experiments to see why people hesitate to send thank-you notes. They also studied the reactions of people who received the notes.

Kumar and Epley asked students in business classes to write a letter of thanks to another person. And then they asked both the writers and the receivers how the letter made them feel.

As a result, they found that writing the letter was a good experience for the writers. It improved their mood right afterward though the writers only thought the letter would be embarrassing for someone who got a letter of thanks. However, that was not the case.

The writer worried about what to say and how to say it. However, Kumar says, the receivers did not care much about whether writers got the words right. Those who got letters felt really good.And they didn’t really feel embarrassed at all.

“When you are a receiver, you focus on the warmth,” Kumar says. The receivers considered the feelings on the letters while the writers only tried their best to make sure their writing was correct.

In general, most people don’t always realize that thank-you notes make others feel good. If they knew, things might change. “They would do it more often,” Kumar says.

Kumar thinks that this study is a good reminder. It shows that small things can have an effect. Writing a thank-you note is a simple thing. Still, it can make a big difference. We feel good when we do nice things for others.

【1】What’s the purpose of Kumar and Epley’s experiment?

A．To advise us to thank our parents.

B．To see thank-you notes’ influence.

C．To get children close to their parents.

D．To prove letters are the best to show our thanks.

【2】What do writers care about when writing thank-you notes?

A．Their writing skills.

B．Receivers’ feelings.

C．Receivers’ warmth.

D．Their proper words.

【3】What do we know about receivers of thank-you notes?

A．They enjoyed being thanked

B．They feel shame and sad.

C．They didn’t care about the notes.

D．They hate writers’ mistaken ideas.

【4】What does Kumar advise us to do in the last paragraph?

A．Be generous to others.

B．Be willing to do nice things.

C．Pay attention to small things.

D．Write thank-you notes frequently.

30、Years ago, I had a quarrel with a friend due to a misunderstanding that was completely my fault. I was afraid to ________that I was wrong, so we didn't speak for years. Then we happened to meet each other and decided to meet for lunch. It was so ________that we kept meeting. After two or three meals together, I felt forced to apologize for my ________ years earlier.

My experience isn't unique. Many people________apologizing because the idea of admitting to wrongdoing makes them________uncomfortable.

Given my experience, there is no________that an apology is an important tool for________a relationship to make it functional again.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was about ten years ago. It was a cold, wet and dark winter day. A fine rain was falling, which left my clothes wet through and froze my bones. I was walking over to visit my Dad. Although his house was only a short walk from mine, I was already wet and suffering. I knocked on his door and stepped in. A warm steam was floating from the kitchen. It touched my nose and suddenly I was eight years old again. Dad was making Grandma’s special sauce (酱料).

When I was growing up, every Sunday Grandma would make us an Italian feast. She would cook her spaghetti (意大利面) sauce for hours. Then she would drop in potatoes, chicken, meat balls, sausage and sometimes even steak (牛排). It always left our stomachs full, our hearts happy, and the house smelling sweet.

I sat down while Dad made me a plate. It felt so good having a meal like I used to when I was a boy. We talked about those old times and laughed over the memories both good and bad. And I noticed something to. I didn’t feel cold anymore. Oh, my clothes were still wet from the rain but my heart was warm, my spirit was light, and both my face and stomach were smiling.

Dad and Grandma have been gone for years now. I still miss them both every single day. And although my daughter and I both know how to make Grandma’s special sauce, we don’t cook it as often as we can. Maybe it is because no matter how hard I try, I can never get it 100% right. I think that maybe I am missing a material. Or maybe it was just the Love with which Grandma and Dad cooked it that made it so delicious.

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I decided to make the food filled with love at last.
