26、   Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by air. With a modern airliner you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.

Traveling by train is slower than by air, but it has its own advantages. For example, you can see the country you are traveling through. Besides, modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable and comfortable.

Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different places. Traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.

Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish—where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That is why traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.

【1】From the passage, we know the fastest way of traveling is ______.

A.by car B.by train C.by air D.by sea

【2】If we travel by car, we can ______.

A.make the longest journey enjoyable

27、The modern garden has history going back many thousands of years. Early humans were hunters and gatherers, and didn’t usually stay in one place for a long time. 【1】 During the Neolithic period, humans started to remain in one place and grow their own food.

What plants did people grow?

Evidence of early agriculture in Europe includes not only eatable plants such as wheat, but also plants for decorative purposes. Plants for medicine were grown, as were plants for flavouring (调味) or preserving food. 【2】 They were not only grown because they were useful or eatable.

Why did people plant gardens?

Gardens today are places to go and relax, but have had many purposes over the years. In the past they were planted to honour the gods, or used in religious ceremonies such as funerals and weddings. They were also a way to show that their owners were rich or powerful. 【3】 In Roman times the garden became an extension of the house, representing the owner’s status (地位) in society.

What does paradise mean?

【4】 The ancient Greeks believed growing food was a job for the poor, but gardens were places for enjoyment. The English word paradise comes from the ancient Persian word pairidaeza — meaning a walled space: a garden. The gardens of the Middle East were places of great beauty where people enjoyed the pleasures of life.

Are gardens artistic?

As gardens have developed over the years, design and beauty have become more and more important. 【5】 The gardens of Versailles, in France, are an excellent example of garden architecture — everything is pruned (修建) to fit in with the design.

A．Many cultures believed gardens were sacred.

B．Certain plants also had religious or spiritual value.

C．Pleasure and happiness are ideas linked with gardens.

D．Ancient rulers created huge gardens to show their wealth.

E．Instead, they travelled from place to place following the food.

F．Humans have learned to control nature and to design gardens carefully.

G．Carefully planned or not, gardens are still beautiful and relaxing places to visit.

28、   Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have. Imagine how Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese soil, seeing a way of life quite different from anything he’d seen before.

And how great must it have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia? His brain must have been packed with everything he’d seen and heard, leading to the founding of the Silk Road.

Some people have traveled all over the world, and travel is a way of life to them. They perhaps know what to expect before they travel. That’s why the best travel is when it’s for the first time. Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United States. Of course, they’ve probably seen the Statue of Liberty a thousand times on TV, and the White House, and all the other famous sights. But none of that would compare to the thrill of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into view.

Although travel is often just for recreation, it’s also educational. We may not know that we are getting an education, but we still are.

We’re learning every day: new words in a new language, new people, and new ways of life. But this learning takes place in the school of the world, not the classroom. One of the lessons we learn is undoubtedly a moral one. As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isn’t necessarily the best way. The British politician Benjamin Disraeli summed this up well when he said, “Travel teaches toleration.”

【1】The writer uses Marco Polo and Zhang Qian as examples to ________.

A.explain how the Silk Road was founded

B.present travel as an amazing experience

C.show how the way people travel has changed

D.describe important cultural exchanges in history

【2】The underlined word in paragraph 4 probably means ________.

A.learning B.knowledge

C.fun D.risk

【3】According to the last two paragraphs, the writer believes that ________.

A.traveling should be included in formal education

B.traveling improves people’s confidence in their lifestyle

C.a foreign journey may raise people’s cultural understanding

D.there is more to learn from adventures than being in classrooms

29、   Fou Ts’ong, a Chinese-born pianist known for his sensitive interpretations(诠释) of Chopin, Debussy and Mozart, died on Monday at a hospital in London, where he had lived for many years. He was 86.

A lover of classical music from a young age, Mr. Fou began taking piano lessons when he was 7. Mr. Fou made his first stage appearance in 1952. The concert caught the attention of officials in Beijing, who selected him to compete and tour in Eastern Europe. Mr. Fou soon moved to Poland, where he studied diligently at the Warsaw Conservatory(音乐学校)on a scholarship.

Mr. Fou was one of the first Chinese pianists to achieve global prominence when he took third place in the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1955. He also won a special prize for his performance of Chopin’s mazurkas. Almost overnight, he became a national hero. To China, Mr. Fou’s recognition confirmed that the country could stand on its own artistically in the West. Chinese reporters flocked to interview Mr. Fou, seeking out his father, Fu Lei, for advice on child-raising.

In 1981, a volume of letters written by his father, originally to Mr. Fou, was published in China. Full of advice, encouragement, life teachings and strict paternal love, the book Fu Lei’s Family Letters became a best-seller in China. Besides influencing a generation of Chinese, Mr. Fu’s words resonated(引起共鸣)long after his death with the person for whom they were intended.

“My father had a saying that ‘First you must be a person, then an artist, and then a musician, and only then can you be a pianist,’” Mr. Fou once recalled in an interview. “Even now, I believe in this order —that it should be this way and that I am this way.”

【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．Fou Ts’ong’s achievements in music.

B．The stage performances Fou Ts’ong gave.

C．Fou Ts’ong’s experiences of learning music.

D．The efforts Fou Ts’ong made for competitions.

A．It earns Chinese arts a place in the West.

B．It promotes the spread of Chinese culture.

C．It proves Chinese people’s talent for music.

D．It enables Chinese art education to be recognized.

【3】What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Young Chinese.

B．Mr. Fu’s words.

C．Fou Ts’ong and his family.

D．Readers of Fu Lei’s Family Letters.

【4】Which of the following agrees with Fu Lei’s ideas in the last paragraph?

B．Talent is the most important for a pianist.

C．Everyone should develop an interest in art.

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。

This is a story about two teenagers who were direct opposites but were inseparable.

No one could really understand how Mack and Zack could be such good friends. They were direct opposites in every way—from the top of their heads to the tips of their toes. That is to say, they have not the least similarities. They were labeled the inseparable by anyone who knew both of them or their common friends.

They first met when they were in Grade One. It was not one of those dramatic meetings but ordinary and boring. Both were eyeing the second seat in the middle row in the classroom.

Both rushed for the chair but another giant classmate put himself into it. So they looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders indifferently and placed themselves on either side of the giant. However, the class teacher immediately rearranged their seating positions. As fate would have it, Mack and Zack found themselves seated beside each other.

Physically, Mack was thin and long. He looked lack of nutrition (营养)but actually he quite could eat. On the other hand, Zack was fat and strong and ate like a bird.

Mack was a bookworm and a star student whereas Zack was an easy-going student who struggled to go through his schoolwork. Mack enjoyed teaching Zack and Zack found himself responding well to Mack's teaching.

Mack was a dreamer and was quiet and cool, unlike Zack who was talkative and outgoing. Mack listened while Zack chattered. Mack could be seen laughing quietly with Zack playing around and the life and soul of any gathering.

Despite their differences, there was an invisible harmony (和谐)between them. Anyone who saw all this couldn't help but wonder how it happened that between these two teenagers there was a silent unspoken understanding. That's all because of Mack's selfless deed that touched Zack.

注意：
