26、Constantin de Slizewicz has been anxious to come back to China since early 2020.For the past decade, the Frenchman has been running a luxurious （豪华的）camping business in Shangri-La in the southwest of China's Yunnan Province. But in December 2019, he went back to France for a vacation. He usually goes back to France and stays there for two to three months, since there is little business due to the weather.

Following the outbreak of COVID-19, however, he found it difficult to return. Fortunately, his business partner Guillaume de Penfentenyo was able to get a flight to China at the end of February.

Previously, most of his customers were international guests from outside the country who were drawn to the beautiful landscape and scenery in Shangri-La. Despite the pandemic（疫情）and even in his absence, Slizewicz's company managed to attract new tourists, who were unable to travel abroad under the circumstances and discovered the joy of camping. "It makes sure of our operation," he says happily.

Last year, his team offered summer camps in Shangri-La for Chinese students who couldn't travel abroad. In autumn, many domestic travelers also signed up for his company's organized adventures deep into the wilderness.

Slizewicz first visited China in 1996 when he engaged in a three-month internship（实习期）. He was impressed by the Chinese people around him and was attracted by places like Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, which were well-matched to his interest in camping-a passion he has had since childhood. "I met people in the mountains, singing and herding their yaks（牦牛）. That makes the mountains feel special and alive,” he says.

【1】In which season does Slizewicz usually take a break?

A．In spring.

B．In winter.

C．In autumn.

D．In summer.

【2】Who were Slizewicz's main customers before the pandemic?

A．Chinese students.

B．Visitors from France.

C．Local people.

D．Visitors outside China.

【3】How does Slizewicz feel about his business?

A．Surprised.

B．Thankful.

C．Satisfied.

D．Doubtful.

【4】What's the main reason for Slizewicz's running a camping business?

A．His interest.

B．The friends around him.

C．The popularity of camping.

D．The peaceful life in mountains.

27、   I decided to go back to school in the fall of 2008 after not being happy with my current job and financial status. I obtained my Associate Degree in May 2002 in Commercial Arts. After graduation, I had trouble obtaining a job in that field. For years, I was going from one job to another feeling unfilled, and I was not satisfied with the instability.

I decided to go back to school for either International Business or Psychology. I weighed the pros and cons of both professions and Psychology won. I like helping my friends and family, when they go through hard situations in their life by giving them sound advice and being honest with them.Also, I was interested in “the mind”.

I was searching for online schools because my work schedule at my current job would not allow me to attend a regular class. I was nervous about starting online classes because I heard mixed stories from other friends who were taking online classes. I decided to do it anyway to experience something different. I wanted to find an online school that was affordable and reputable. Through my search, I discovered Walden University, which is specially for working adults who want to obtain a bachelor’s degree or higher. The process of getting accepted was easy, which included writing an essay on why I wanted to attend their school, transferring my previous credits,etc.

I am currently enrolled in the Bachelors program for psychology, and I am paying for college via financial-aid loans and grants. This experience has been interesting yet trying as sometimes it was difficult to balance work, school and home life. I learned a lot about psychology and myself. For example, I like writing about current events, relationships and traveling. I thought my English composition was ordinary, but after taking a few classes at Walden University, I improved my English composition and it made me feel confident enough to start writing professionally so I became a freelance (自由撰稿) writer. Currently, I am only three classes away from obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology! It was one of the best decisions I made in my life.

【1】What did the author study originally when he was in college?

A.Psychology. B.Commercial Arts.

C.International Business. D.English Composition.

【2】What do we know about the author from Paragraph 2?

A.He decided to study International Business at first.

B.He wanted to study two majors.

C.He liked Psychology better.

D.He chose his major with the help of his friends.

【3】Why was the author nervous about starting online classes?

A.Because he heard some negative remarks about it.

B.Because he was worried that he didn’t have enough time to study.

C.Because he feared he would fail the entrance exam.

D.Because he was afraid that he didn’t have enough money.

【4】According to the passage, the author ____.

C.paid for his schooling with the help of his family

D.is satisfied with his achievements

28、   【1】 Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do all these things daily.

I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because often people are influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the entertainment programs and documentaries we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to are made in Hollywood.

【2】 Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.

American culture is very much a part of Spanish life. It’s certain that many things from America are as much a part of their lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. 【3】

However, it’s different with western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the life style of the Spanish people.【4】

On the other hand, it may be that McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and they are more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults.【5】

A.Many Spanish people like to watch movies.

B.The Spanish people normally eat at home.

C.I’ve known Coca Cola my whole life.

D.Most Spanish people prefer to eat in restaurants.

E.The influence of America is increasing in my country.

F.In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies.

G.In any case, it’s obvious that American culture has become a part of our lives.

29、   Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an．He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code (二维码)．“We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate (使产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier.” Said Guo, “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat．Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me．So I can check their work anywhere using my computer or telephone.”

The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat． When Guo scans his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone．He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos．

Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting．“We are living in the information age．Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s．

“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Guo said, “It is worth trying to use new technology in education．Education itself is a kind of creation．I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”

However, some parents are worried ． They are afraid that their children will spend too much time surfing the Internet and less time communicating with teachers ． But in fact, it’s unnecessary ． Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework．They only use the codes when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time． Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time．And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students．
