26、In 2015，Chennai was destroyed by one of the worst floods in over a century, leaving thousands without food, water and supplies. During the flood, many heroes arose, one of whom was Santosh, a young man who owned a takeout in Chennai.

When the first flood hit in November, he got a call from a company called Naga Limited. The company asked him to prepare 5,000 packets of food and give them to the flood victims. He, with his partners, took the order, cooked for 14 hours and delivered them. But that night, as they sat together discussing the event of the day, they actually felt ashamed. “Here was a man, not even from Chennai, and he was going out of his way to help the affected people. We, while living here, had not really done anything ourselves for our own people,’’ said Santosh later.

He then began the groundwork for a collection to help cook more dishes. Little did he know that the November flood was just the beginning, and the real show was about to begin. The December flood affected them all. His own house got flooded and his family were trapped on the second floor. They lost phone connection and electricity. In spite of these, Santosh went back out into the flood, creating a kitchen and preparing food all by himself for the victims.

He did not sleep for four days, taking a one-hour break every day as he kept on cooking. As word got out about this man's efforts, others stepped out to join him. From children to the elderly, strangers came to help him in cooking, packing and transporting food. Up to 300 volunteers worked together to make it all happen. By the time the fourth day finally came to an end, Santosh and his team had prepared 170,000 food boxes and delivered them to people in need.

【1】What inspired Santosh to help the affected people?

A．A call for help.

B．His cooking skills.

C．An act of kindness of a stranger.

D．The encouragement from his parents.

【2】What does “the real show” in the third paragraph refer to?

A．The help and support.

B．The severer flood.

C．Santosh’s family suffering.

D．Santosh’s cooking more food.

【3】Which of the following can best describe Santosh?

A．Emotional and grateful.

B．Determined and clever.

C．Selfless and caring.

D．Kind and proud.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Many Hands Make Light Work

B．Kindness Is Its Own Reward

C．Major Floods Brought Challenges to People

D．170,000 Meals for the Affected People

27、A University College London modeling report looked at urban car use to conclude that cities have to become car-free to survive. The study notes the number of cars is actually increasing faster than the population — in 2019, 80 million cars were built while the population increased by 78 million. The production of these cars were responsible for 4% of global carbon dioxide emissions. That’s bigger than aviation and almost as big as the steel and concrete industries, and that’s before you even fuel or charge them up.

The study authors construct a mathematical model where time is money, and residents choose between driving their cars and taking public transport on the basis of the time it takes to do the trip. It turned out that the more people who decide that driving is faster, the more crowded the roads, and the longer the trip takes.

One solution is to build more transit or bike lanes and reduce traffic lanes and parking to get more people out of cars. This would make it faster for everyone. But this is hard to do. The rapid growth of the urban population, land use policies, and the expansion of suburban areas make it impossible to walk or ride a bike to and from the office. It’s also economically costly to introduce efficient public transport with high frequency and within easy walking distance.

There was a report coming from London showing there are incredible battles over every effort to calm streets and reduce traffic. It’s got to the point where the drivers claim they actually represent disabled people who have to drive, businesses that need customers who drive, and poor people who have to breathe the exhaust. It’s all upside down.

In the press release, Dr. Humberto Gonzalez Ramirez said, “Currently, much of the land in cities is dedicated to cars. If our goal is to have more liveable and sustainable cities, then we must take part of this land and allocate it to alternative modes of transportation: walking, cycling, and public transport.”

【1】What does the underlined word “aviation” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．The traffic jam.

B．The airline industry.

C．The modeling industry.

D．The air pollution.

【2】The author mentioned the mathematical model in Paragraph 2 ________.

A．to ask people to travel more by bicycle instead of by car

B．to encourage people to pay attention to environmental problems

C．to show the effect of increased car production on transportation

D．to prove traffic is one of the major causes of global wanning

【3】What’s Dr. Humberto’s attitude to removing cars out of the city?

A．Doubtful.

B．Negative.

C．Uncaring.

D．Supportive.

【4】What text type is this piece of writing?

A．An expositive essay.

B．An argumentative essay.

C．A narrative essay.

D．A science fiction.

28、Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creatively minded, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.

According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK telecoms company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1 , 002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal jobs.

The only reason for this change is undoubtedly the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach a global user, without having to get a job in show business in the traditional way.

“In years gone by, the biggest stars were shaped and trained by the Hollywood studios； now, anyone with a computer camera can become an icon (偶像)，" a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said in a news release(发布会).“These self-made stars record their hobbies to an admiring fan-base. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”

However, what people see is only the great side of being a vlogger and they ignore the fact that only those who are successful get fame and fortune. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that still remain dreams.

This is why although vloggers are popular, some young people choose jobs that don't necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It's an online platform(平台)for runners to keep a record of their races. He told the website Zippia that his job allows him to express his thought, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.

【1】What's the most popular job among British young people nowadays?

A．A lawyer.

B．A doctor.

C．A vlogger.

D．A singer.

【2】Why is it possible for anyone to become an icon these days?

A．Because of the popularity of the computers.

B．Because the traditional show business has disappeared.

C．Because there are computer cameras for everyone to use.

D．Because Internet and social media made it easy to reach a global user.

【3】What's the meaning of the underlined word “interact” in Paragraph 4?

A．To discuss.

B．To force.

C．To communicate.

D．To take part in.

【4】What's the author's opinion towards the vloggers?

A．All vloggers can't be successful.

B．Vloggers should be supported.

C．Vloggers should be encouraged.

D．Vloggers are very helpful to society.

29、Gift-Giving Customs

Whether it is for a special festival, to express thanks or to just let someone know that you care about them, giving gifts is a common custom. The purpose of giving gifts may be similar, but the tradition varies from country to country. A gift of respect in one place may be considered rude in another. Take a look at three unique gift giving traditions.

India

If you're invited to someone's home in India, you should bring a small gift, whether it's a box of chocolates or some flowers. Gifts shouldn't be wrapped（包裹）in black or white colors, because they are considered unlucky. Instead, use bright colors such as green, red or yellow. When giving money for any occasion, it should have an odd number （奇数）value. That's believed to bring good luck. Instead of receiving a gift with both hands, Indians generally only use their right hand because left hands are considered unclean.

Japan

For most Japanese, the ritual（礼节）of giving presents is more important than the gifts themselves. The correct way is to present or receive gifts with both hands. Every gift should be wrapped. That's because uncovered gifts are considered disrespectful. To show politeness and thanks, those who are receiving the gift may turn it down once or twice before finally accepting it. Gifts should be given in pairs, but four should be avoided just like in China. Lucky numbers also include eight. Eight is said to bring prosperity（兴旺）.

Native America

While it may be common for guests to prepare gifts for hosts, this is different in Native American communities. From weddings to birthday celebrations, guests are the ones who receive gifts. Gifts are usually homemade arts and crafts（工艺）- made by hand to show love, respect and appreciation.

【1】Which of the tradition will fit in India?

A.Bring the gift wrapped in white.

B.Use 600 dollars as gift.

C.Receive gift with both hands.

D.Chocolates in red box as gift.

【2】The Japanese pay more attention to the   of giving presents.

A.color B.value C.way D.amount

【3】Which of the following statements is right?

A.The traditions of giving gift is similar in different countries.

B.Japanese will receive the presents directly.

C.The hosts in America are expected to receive presents.

D.No matter where the gift-giving customs are, they convey good meaning.

A Peking Opera Legend That Redefined Female Roles

When it comes to Peking Opera, a few key things come to mind for most Chinese: its quintessential connection to the history and traditions of China; the richness of its dazzling costumes with their 【1】 colors and patterns; and the bold work of its facial make-up. Some may even be able to hum a few lines or talk about their favorite artists, but for the vast majority of people, traditional Chinese opera remains a classic art form that is far 【2】 from everyday life.

However, only a century ago, Peking Opera was no less 【3】 to the regular populace than is today’s pop music. The performers were admired by a large number of fans who were willing to spend a fortune on a ticket to their performances. Throughout the history of Peking Opera, there have 【4】 many renowned masters of the form. But MeiLanfang (1894 - 1961) was arguable the most outstanding figure of this craft, who was famous for his portrayal of the female lead roles (dan)

【5】 as one of the “four famed dan,” Mei was so much more than even this. He brought forth a number of new ideas to several aspects of Peking Opera: make-up (he was the first to war lipstick), music (his productions first 【6】 the erhu in shows), choreography(编舞艺术)(his iconic sword dance in Farewell My Concubine《霸王别姬》) and, most importantly characterization.

At a time when actual women were banned from performing, Mei 【7】 the dan to starring roles. He combined elements of the qingyi (elegant lady), huadan (young woman) and daomadan (female warrior) into a new huashan character that excelled in singing, dancing and martial arts. The techniques he introduced led to the development of the “Mei School”, which was considered one of the three major dramatic performing art systems in the world at the time.

“My father broke the 【8】 between almost all the different types of female role,” Mei Baojiu, the youngest child of Mei Lanfang who followed his father into dan acting, was quoted as saying.

Thanks to Mei’s 【9】 innovations, even those who know little about traditional Chinese opera can easily see the beauty of the art form the moment performers take the stage. “His make-up, the overlay of carmines(胭脂红) and darker tones, is the most beautiful I have ever seen in a theater,” wrote U.S. playwright Stark Young after watching Mei Lanfang’s performance in New York in 1930.

But the true beauty of Peking Opera is not solely about visual aesthetics. “For veteran artists, even their performances without make-up can be just as 【10】 as full-on stage performances,” Mei wrote in his 1958 memoir, Forty Years of Life on the stage. Just as Peking Opera has become an icon of Chinese culture, Mei has come to be acknowledge on the grand stage of the world as its quintessential performer.
