26、   Most of the thousands of tourists who visit Pompeii every year leave with nothing more than amazing memories. But there are some who take away a little extra – the relics themselves.

However, it seems that those visitors who have slipped a piece of the world’s most important archaeological(考古的) site into their pockets have come to regret their actions.

Tourists who took relics from the ruined Roman city have been returning them to the site, saying they are cursed (诅咒).

One man wrote from Latin America saying that he and his entire family had experienced “trauma after trauma” after he took a piece of stone from Pompeii.

Massimo Osanna, a senior official at Pompeii, said he had received up to a hundred packages from across the world in recent years containing items from the site, often accompanied by letters explaining the relics had brought them bad luck.

The “curse of Pompeii” is an old story that says the eruption(火山爆发) of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, which buried Pompeii, was punishment from the gods after troops ruined the buildings where people showed respect to the gods.

“At a certain point, people started believing in this story again,” said Mr. Osanna. “Even proper thieves have returned things to us.”

In one case, five packages were sent to Pompeii containing stolen items, including a statue that had disappeared in 1987. The accompanying letter was sent from Spain and the writer explained the statue had brought a “curse on his entire family”.

However, some are affected by a strong feeling of dishonor in their heart, rather than an ancient curse. Mr. Osanna said that an English woman had recently returned around 10 mosaic tiles (镶嵌地砖) that her parents had taken while on holiday during the Seventies.

“When her mother died, she received these little pieces. But in the letter she described them as ‘uncomfortable’ and said she wanted to give them back,” he said.

Mr. Osanna is considering setting up an exhibition of all the letters he has received, calling it “What I brought back from Pompeii”.

【1】Why did some visitors who took relics away regret?

A.Because there was nothing but amazing memories.

B.Because they took away the relics themselves.

C.Because they thought the stolen relics brought them bad luck.

D.Because they received letters from a senior official at Pompeii.

【2】The underlined word “trauma” probably means “________”.

A.an unpleasant and upsetting experience

B.an old object or custom that reminds people of the past

C.a building where people respect gods

D.the things that a person or animal does

【3】According to the old story, the gods were angry because________.

A.some people cursed them

B.the city of  Pompeii was buried

C.some soldiers didn’t show them enough respect

D.too many buildings for people were ruined

【4】Before returning the mosaic tiles, the English woman must have felt _______.

A.ashamed B.scared

C.proud D.unconcerned

27、   One of the best aspects of travel is discovery. Whether you’re immersing yourself in a brand new culture or wandering (闲逛) the streets of a foreign city, you’re finding new things to see and experience. Part of that discovery is in what you learn about yourself. 【1】.

Here are some of those ways:

【2】

Travel means new foods, cultures and places to explore. Try speaking that new language or eat a new kind of food you never knew existed. When you’re thrown outside of your normal circumstances (环境), you’ll discover more about who you are and what you’re like.

The chance to reinvent yourself

At home, people can see you a certain way and pigeonhole (主观划分某人为) you into a personality type that can be hard to escape. 【3】. You’re free to break away from how people normally see you and reinvent yourself.

【4】

You’ve just traveled across a country, tried a new language and haggled (讨价还价) over prices in a market. They’re all things you didn’t know you could do before, but you dug up a new-found sense of adventure and somehow made it work. With travel, comes challenges. And the more challenges you take on, the more sure of yourself you become.

Planning and organizing skills

What’s the best route to take so I see all the major attractions? What’s the best way to get to the next city and back so I don’t miss my flight? How should I organize my itinerary (行程)? 【5】.

You have to organize your trip so that you have a place to stay and transportation to and from certain destinations.

A.Building confidence

B.Travel is about making choices

C.Forcing you out of your comfort zone

D.Trips don’t always go according to plan

E.Having time to reflect on your life

F.Travel can give you a chance to explore other sides of your personality

G.Like most experiences, travel can change you in ways you might never have expected

28、Flying to another country can sometimes take several days. But the designer of a futuristic jet (喷气式飞机) says his plane could take you around the world in your lunch break.

According to an article in The Sun, the plane, called the Antipode, could carry 10 people and use rocket boosters to go 12 km high. 【1】 Or it could fly from New York to Shanghai in 24 minutes.

An ordinary Boeing 747 has a top speed of 917 km/h. The fastest plane in the world right now is Air Force One. It carries the president of the United States and can reach 1,092 km/h. 【2】

Canadian designer Charles Bombardier says his plane could be 10 times faster than the Concorde, which could fly at 2,180 km/h. The Concorde was the world’s fastest passenger plane between 1976 and 2003. But the Concorde was very noisy and its nose got dangerously hot when it flew. A Concorde crashed in 2000, killing 114 people. 【3】

【4】 It stops the plane from overheating and having the same problems that the Concorde did. New technology, recently tested by NASA, makes the Antipode the perfect shape and weight to fly fast and safely.

“It’s always something that people would like a transportation system that could take you from one place on the planet to the other side,” Mr. Bombardier told the BBC.

【5】 The design is just a concept and will need more research before it becomes a reality.

A．No Concordes were flown again after 2003.

B．There are huge differences between high-speed planes.

C．But the Antipode would probably reach a crazy 25,750 km/h!

D．Don’t try to buy a ticket for the plane yet, though.

E．Then it could fly from London to New York in less than 20 minutes.

F．The superfast plane could only carry ten passengers.

G．The Antipode’s design includes a special nose.

29、   As the novel coronavirus outbreak interrupts businesses and everyday life for billions around the globe, massive conferences have moved online. The new form creates numerous technical and organizational challenges, but it also offers opportunities-for reaching wider audiences, reducing the carbon footprint of meeting travel and improving diversity. For some meetings, the switch may be lasting.

The scientific community is “ making lemonade out of lemons,” an expert says. “ Scientists are making use of a situation that’s really quite horrible and providing people a way to connect.”

In many ways, virtual conferences offer a better experience, says Altman, associate director of the Stanford Institute for AI. Altman’s institute had planned an inperson conference in April, but COVID-19 forced organizers to change it. They threw together a virtual conference to discuss how AI can help scientists fight the ongoing pandemic (流行病).The event was a great success. The original conference would have drawn a few hundred attendees, but 30,000 people watched the online version.

Altman says the virtual environment allowed hosts to better control the flow of discussion and questions from the audience. By privately messaging one another behind the scenes, they were able to make adjustments (调整).During the audience question period, the hosts didn’t open up the virtual floor for anyone to speak. Instead, they asked the audience to type their questions and screen the most insightful (有深刻见解的)ones.

Scientists acknowledge that virtual conferences can’t completely replace the conference experience. Virtual meetings might lose some of their appeal once stay-at-home requirements loosen. Even so, the success of some scientists further strengthens the society’s march toward virtual meetings.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “ making lemonade out of lemons” refer to?

A.Working tirelessly to fight the pandemic.

B.Taking advantage of the difficult situation.

C.Doing research on how to make lemonade.

D.Committing themselves to their conferences.

【2】What could prove the virtual conference mentioned in paragraph 3 successful ?

A.A larger audience.

B.Better arrangement.

C.Environmental friendliness.

D.Beating the ongoing pandemic.

【3】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?

A.Provide some advice for the hosts.

B.Summarize the previous paragraphs.

C.Introduce a new topic for the audience.

D.List some advantages of virtual conferences.

【4】In which section of a newspaper does this text probably appear?

A.Business. B.Opinion. C.Culture. D.Travel.
