26、Some polyglots, who can speak quite a few languages, may seem especially talented. Zhao Yuanren, a Chinese-American linguist (语言学家), could speak seven languages and more than 30 dialects (方言). England’s Queen Elizabeth I could speak about 10 languages. A famous Italian named Guiseppe Mezzofanti was reported to have been able to communicate in 30 to 40 languages. Polyglots are indeed amazing, but American teenager Tim Doner is living proof (证据) that anyone can try to be one.

As a child, Tim studied French and Latin at school, but he found it difficult to be interested in just words and grammar rules. When he was 13, Tim started listening to Hebrew rap music. One day, he looked up the words in a dictionary and realized he could put them together to make sentences! By then, he had fallen in love with learning languages. He started looking for people who spoke Hebrew so he could practise, and then, he decided to sign up for a summer Arabic class. One evening, just for fun, he posted a video of himself speaking Arabic and another of him speaking Hebrew. Hebrew and Arabic speakers wrote nice comments (评论) on his videos and gave him advice. Tim loved it. He could actually communicate with people! After that, Tim started looking for new languages to learn and posting more videos of himself speaking new languages, including Chinese. Tim also began to use many other methods to make learning fun.

Tim wishes everyone would learn more than one language and not just as a school subject. “Knowing a language is a lot more than knowing a couple of words out of a dictionary,” Tim says.

Languages are for communicating with people, learning about their culture, and understanding how different people think. “Open up your mind to the fact that language represents (代表) a cultural world view,” says Tim, “You can translate words easily, but you can’t quite translate meaning.” Or, as Nelson Mandela said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.”

【1】What is the function of paragraph 1?

A．Introducing the topic.

B．Comparing different languages.

C．Talking about some famous people.

D．Raising problems that will be solved later.

【2】How did Tim Doner first become interested in learning languages?

A．By creating Hebrew rap music.

B．By signing up for a winter Arabic class.

C．By posting various videos of himself speaking old languages.

D．By succeeding in making sentences with words in Hebrew rap.

【3】What are languages used for to Tim?

A．Opening up your mind to translating words.

B．Representing an unclear world view of culture.

C．Communicating, learning about culture, and understanding different thoughts.

D．Knowing a couple of words out of a dictionary and translating them into Chinese.

【4】What can be inferred from Nelson Mandela’s words?

A．Speaking native languages can bring speakers closer.

B．The effect of going to heart can be the same as that of going to head.

C．Talking to a man in his language can be of great benefit to translating words.

D．Talking to a man in a language he understands is most helpful to communication.

27、Over the years, I bought countless pairs of shoes that brightened my mood, picked out dresses that improved my figure, and turned over my credit card for lots of cosmetics (化妆品) that I had hoped would make me look fresher and happier. But all those things failed to bring relief to my pain inside.

But one afternoon in October 2021, I walked out of one store with something more valuable than anything money could buy. I found hope in the unlikeliest place after months of hopelessness, thanks to a woman who decided to start a conversation with me in the store’s café.

It had been a painful time for me. Married a little over four years, I had suffered five heartbreaking miscarriages (流产) and, at 42, was slowly accepting the cruel idea that I might never be able to have a child.

On that fateful day, a smartly dressed, slightly older woman seated beside me offered to share the photos and stories of her adopted daughter to break the silence in the half-empty café. Her girl was about seven years old.

“She’s pretty,” I said. “But what made you decide to adopt her?” I asked, uncertain whether I had stepped into an area which seemed too personal. “I don’t want work to be my whole life,” she said. I wasn’t sure whether she saw the tears welling up in my eyes as I replied, “I don’t either, but I’m afraid it’s too late!” “I was 51 when I adopted Melanie,” she said, “And it’s the most rewarding and exciting thing I’ve ever done.”

When our checks came, she handed me her business card, and I finally learned her name — and in that minute, I saw a happier and more satisfied myself, a reborn “mother-to-be”.

【1】What did the older woman intend to do when talking with the author?

A．Advise the author to forget her pain.

B．Share her feelings of being an adoptive mother.

C．Show off her beautiful daughter to the author.

D．Advertise the benefits of adopting a Chinese girl.

【2】Which of the following best describes the older woman?

A．Inspiring.

B．Patient.

C．Outgoing.

D．Responsible.

【3】Why did the author see a happier self after the encounter?

A．She could adopt children because she was still young.

B．The older woman set an example as a good mother.

C．She realized life was more important than work.

D．Her hope of owning a child was built up again.

28、Every child faces friendship problems at some time, in some way, but generally speaking, there are three main problems that keep children from being part of a group.

【1】

Kids who do too little in social situations could be ignored by the other kids and may have a hard time making friends. They are usually too shy and just wait for other kids to come to them. 【2】. Then they can make friends in any social groups. These tricks include how to greet people friendly and show their good will through small acts of kindness.

Doing too much

We see this problem in kids who are always ready to cut in a talk or a game. 【3】. If they continue their annoying behavior after a kid asks them to stop, they are likely to be disliked by the group. Therefore, these children need to learn proper ways of stopping, such as saying “sorry”, or sitting on their hands and keeping their mouths shut.

【4】

Some kids have trouble making friends because they behave in ways that set them apart from the other kids in the social groups. For example, they may always try to be funny on purpose, or have strange interests and habits.

Every child is unique, but they have to learn to connect with other kids in natural ways. 【5】.

A．Talking too much

B．Doing too little

C．Being too different

D．Kids make friends by doing fun things together

E．The other kids may find their actions annoying

F．They have to learn some simple ways to reach out

G．Then they can build friendships and enjoy being part of a group

31、根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。

Coffee bars, live music, cinemas and shopping malls—Chinese cities offer everything that a young person might want. But there are many young people who hardly have time to enjoy these things. That’s because they follow what is called the “996” work schedule (时间表) 【1】 at 9 am and finishing at 9 pm, six days a week.

The “996” work schedule has recently become a hot topic of discussion online after a computer programmer set up a website called “996.ICU”. According to the website, working a “996” schedule 【2】 enough rest is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in an intensive care unit (ICU,重症监护病房). This work schedule is now widely used at Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei, New York Times reported. It causes many tech industry workers to complain. One worker from Baidu company said, “I know I am not the 【3】 worker who works overtime I have worked ‘996’ for nine months and I haven’t received any overtime pay. It’s unfair though quite common.” Another worker named Zhang told Quartz, “I can’t sleep well and become ill because of the great pressure. I feel really tired, so I am considering giving up this job and looking for 【4】.”

However, the bosses of some tech companies have supported “996”. Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it’s “a huge treasure” for young workers to work “996”. “If you don’t put more time and energy than others, how will you achieve the success you want? If you don’t work ‘996’ when you’re young, 【5】 will you?” he said.

Many have questioned Ma’s words. In a passage in People’s Daily, one writer said “Working ‘996’ is just working overtime. However, working overtime does not 【6】 working hard. Working hard requires efforts and working wisely and effectively.”

A lawyer called Cui Zhendong told China Daily that it is against the 【7】 to use a compulsory (强制的) “996” work schedule. China’s Labor Law clearly announces that workers should work no more than eight hours a day 【8】 more than forty-four hours a week.
