26、The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.

Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.

Another key to understand British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.

27、   This year I’m buying presents for 16 children, as well as my own daughter, Mia-Grace, who will be two on Christmas Day. My tree will be beautifully decorated, I’m bringing the turkey to the family Christmas lunch and having an open house activity on Boxing Day. And the whole thing’s only going to cost me £150.

I’ve been careful with money since I was a teenager, for I came from a poor family with many children. I had to drop out of high school to earn money to support myself. I remember well that I went a bit mad back then when I got my first credit card and my parents had to leave me from home and cared little for me from then, which taught me a real lesson.

We’re very careful now and we don’t overspend or owe anything on credit cards. I work for an electrician and my husband Neil, 33, works in the construction business. We’re concerned about our jobs because our companies are quiet at the moment.

We’ve also been hit by rising prices, particularly food, petrol, gas and electricity. Everyone I know is worried. One of my friends’ husbands has just gone self-employed and if he doesn’t work, they have no money coming in.

Christmas has been playing on my mind for the past three or four months. We decided on a budget of £150 because that’s just under my weekly wage and it meant we could afford Christmas while using Neil’s salary for our essential bills.

We quickly realized that we buy some things every year just for the sake of it. Even though we have lots of decorations already, we usually buy something new for the tree but this Christmas we’re not going to. We’ve already got our tree – a big man-made one which I bought half-price in the January sales. It will last us for years.

After all, no one can escape from this financial crisis which is spreading throughout the globe.

【1】We can infer that Boxing Day most probably falls on ______.

A. January 20 B. May 5

C. October 24 D. December 26

【2】Which of the following is TRUE about the author according to this passage?

A. She has bought Christmas presents for 16 children in total.

B. She has bought a man-made Christmas tree at a low price.

C. Both the author and her husband are already out of work now.

D. She would like to buy a new Christmas tree for this Christmas.

【3】The second and third paragraphs mainly tell us ______ .

A. why the author has been very careful with money

B. how she finished her education of high school

C. where she earned her first money in her teens

D. when she left home and got married to her husband

【4】We can conclude from this passage ______.

A. the author often quarrels with her husband about their little earnings

B. nobody but the author was worried about the rising prices

C. the author has never been worried about losing jobs

D. the author and those around her are suffering from the financial crisis

28、   A good training partner can be a great asset(有用的人)to your training but if you get stuck with a bad one，it could lead you down the road to frustration. 【1】Here are a few things to look out for： Dependable. Choose someone who you are sure will show up for every scheduled workout or who will call you if they can't make it. It is a drain(消耗) on your valuable energy especially before training to have to constantly remind your partner.

Attitude. Get a partner with a positive attitude. This is very important. If they constantly say that something impossible or that they can't or you can't do something，you may end  up  believing  them. 【2】

Open mind. Get a partner with an open mind. Someone who has to do things his or her way all the time，will not listen to you and will not change his or her mind isn't a good partner. 【3】The leader should take into account the needs and feelings of the other partner not totally ignoring them.

Spotting. Get someone you feel comfortable with spotting you. One of the main roles of a training partner is spotting and if you don't trust them，there's not much point in having them around to help.

【4】If you are a beginner，try to find someone who knows what they are doing. You will get more out of your training than if you train with another beginner.

While there are a number of advantages of having training partner，there are also advantages of working alone. 【5】

A.Training level.

B.Similar strength levels.

C.Be selective when choosing a training partner.

D.Find someone with a similar training goal as you.

E.In every partnership，one person will tend to be the leader.

F.Do not train with someone who is satisfied with no improvement.

G.In the end，it is really up to you whether or not you need a training partner.

29、You may think that choosing to lose weight requires a lot of effort and pain.

The truth is, you can lose weight, feel healthier, and look amazing, all by doing small things every day. 【1】 When you’re ready to lose a few pounds, check out these five small everyday things you can do.

【2】

Believe it or not, the diameter of your dinner plate can have a dramatic impact on how much food you eat at any time of the day. The bigger your plate, the more you can fit on it, and the more you put into your body.

Use a Food Diary or App

It’s so easy to sit at your desk or on the couch eating up an entire bag of potato chips, or a full packet of cookies.【3】

If you keep a food diary or app outlining what you eat, how much of it, and how many calories it has, you may be more inclined to control your food intake.

Drink More Water

【4】Your body needs more water than you’re probably giving it, and you may be reading the signs all wrong. Keep a water bottle on hand, drinking water throughout the day. By doing so, you can control your appetite while also making sure your body is not lack of water.

Exercise More

It seems like a given – you exercise, you lose weight. However, it’s not only those 10-mile runs that make all the difference. 【5】 For instance, park further away at the grocery store, take the steps instead of the elevator and jog on the spot during TV ad breaks of your favorite show.

A．Use Smaller Dishes

B．Control your food intake.

C．You have to make plans for exercise.

D．All too often, we mistake thirst for hunger.

E．Many small changes can make a significant difference.

F．Exercise doesn’t have to be something you have to think about to do, and it can be fun.

G．However, if you knew how many calories were in them, you may decide to change your mind.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Many teenagers in high school today try out for sports because they think it will make them popular with their friends. But there are of course many other benefits to be gained from sports in school.

With home computers, video games, and TVs becoming more and more popular, it has become so much easier for teens to be by themselves rather than going out with friends. Teens used to go hanging out at the mall or drive around town, but now they just sit at home. While they may not find a new best friend when going out, they will learn how to interact with fellows, which they will find useful later in life. Therefore, getting teens into a sport gives them an opportunity to go out and socialize.

One of the biggest problems in our society today is obesity (肥胖), and it is not just a problem with adults. More and more teens are becoming overweight due to poor eating habits and a lack of exercise. Joining in a sport will help them go out and take some exercise without feeling pressured to lose weight or get in shape.

Sports also provides parents with a great way to bond with their children by showing up to support them at games and helping them with their practices. These days, it is becoming harder for parents to show love and support to teens. Through sports, they can not only spend time with their kids and talk to them, but also have a chance to chat with their friends and learn about who they are hanging out with.

Parents may think “but my kid isn’t good enough to make their school team”. Actually, there are plenty of other places besides schools to play sports. Just take a look around the area and it is certainly not hard to find many sporting activities suitable for teens to join in.
