26、I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 【1】 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself.

A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 【2】 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 【3】

My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 【4】 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.

【5】My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today.

A．I wasn't alone any longer.

B．I enjoyed reading stories aloud.

C．I was invited to play with another kid.

D．I loved the colorful photographs in the books.

E．Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.

F．Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.

G．My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me.

27、   The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl, yet w ent on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards. When somebody asks her, “How do you hear?” She responds, “How do you hear? Is it only with your ears?” For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing; it is understanding. We need to listen to w hat is said and unsaid, and also how it is said.

It’s important to hear what people say accurately. As Mark Twain said, “The difference betw een the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug (萤火虫).” If you miss something or you’re not sure you’ve heard accurately, ask the speakers. At this point you’re not evaluating, just looking for accuracy and understanding. Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don’t say. Why are they saying this now, instead of sooner or later? Why are they emphasizing these points, instead of something else?

Listen to how it is said. People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say. While going through the next points, think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss, and see if any of these signals might come up. First, voices. When others speak, notice changes in their volume, pace, and tone. Second, body language. Notice gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions. Do these sync what they are saying, or do they tell a different story? Third, emotions. What is the person apparently feeling? Now you might not know for sure, but be considerate, open to understanding, and ask thoughtful questions.

【1】What’s the writer ’s purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie?

A.To give an example of wise words.

B.To introduce a world-famous musician.

C.To help explain the meaning of listening.

D.To encourage us to fight against disability.

【2】What can we learn from what Mark Twain said?

A.It is important to have a good knowledge of English words.

B.People should know words can be used in many different ways.

C.English is a very complicated language with a large vocabulary.

D.Slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding.

【3】What does the underlined word “sync” probably mean?

A.Match. B.Prove.

C.Describe. D.Analyze.

【4】Which is the best title of this passage?

A.Speak While You Listen B.Listen Beyond Words

C.Read Betw een Lines D.Think As You Talk

28、   The origin of coffee? I never really thought about it. When I was a kid, coffee was always around. My parents drank coffee, my grandparents drank coffee, and all the adults I knew drank coffee. I thought I would drink it too when I was older, and of course. I did.

But there must have been a time before coffee. I don't remember coffee making an appearance in any of the Bible(圣经)stories I learned. Jesus changed water into wine, not coffee. Maybe if coffee had been around, he would have changed some of the water into coffee. Maybe that's what “B. C." in those timelines meant: "before coffee."

According to popular legend, the origin of coffee can be traced to a thousand years ago, when an Abyssinian(Ethiopian)goatherd(牧羊人)named Kaidi observed his goats dancing and jumping. When Kaidi investigated, he saw that the goats were happily eating the red berries（浆果)of an unfamiliar tree. Kaidi decided to try some, and when he did he joined the dancing goats and became “the happiest herder in happy Arabia'.

Some time later, a passing monk(和尚)observed Kaidi and the goats. When Kaidi told him about the berries, the monk thought they might be the answer to his prayers(祈祷). It seems that the monk was always falling asleep in the middle of prayers. When he ate the berries, he stayed awake. The unnamed monk came up with the idea of drying and boiling the berries. It came into the world. His fellow monks loved the new drink because it encouraged them to pray and it tasted good too.

So now that I know about Kaidi and his goats, if someday-in the far, far future, of course someone calls me an "old goat", I'll just smile, take another sip of coffee, and maybe do a little dance.

【1】Why didn't Jesus change water into coffee?

A.Because Jesus didn't like coffee.

B.Because coffee didn't appear at that time.

C.Because it was not the right time to have coffee.

D.Because Jesus was better at changing water into wine.

【2】What is the tone of the author when writing the text?

A.Serious. B.Objective.

C.Scientific. D.Humorous.

【3】The underlined word “it" in paragraph 4 refers to ________.

A.a kind of new drink

B.a kind of food made by monks

C.a kind of soup needed to be boiled

D.a kind of drug encouraging people to keep awake

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

A.The Origin of Coffee.

B.The Development of Coffee.

C.The Popularity of Coffee in the World.

D.The Coffee-drinking Tradition in My Family.

29、Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.

A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身). nose rings. or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递) certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings. is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.

Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员) because those people represent the companies to their customers.

As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to refuse someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded. I can’t expect all our customers are.

There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.

【1】Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?

A．People’s appearances carry messages about themselves.

B．Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.

C．Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.

D．Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.

【2】What can be inferred from the text?

A．Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.

B．Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.

C．What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.

D．Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.

【3】What does the underlined word “candidates” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．job-seekers

B．customers

C．managers

D．employees

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A．Appearances Matter

B．Personal Choices Matter

C．Employees Matter

D．Hiring Managers Matter
