26、During summer vacations, l often went to the Outrigger Canoe Club on Waikiki Beach to swim, because the club was usually empty at that hour. There was one other club member who would turn up early on summer mornings, though.

One morning when I’ d arrived at the club earlier than usual, he walked past me on his way to the water. Then he stopped.“ How would you like to swim against me? Just for fun, I mean.” he asked.“ Now? Against you?” I looked at him in surprise.“ It’ s just about 200 yards.” He pointed in that direction and smiled at me.“ Okay.” I said.

Teenagers are often very competitive, and I was no different. Though I was confident of winning, I started out as fast as I could go. When we reached the beach wall, I was already about three quarters exhausted. But he didn’ t look tired at all. By the end of this game, my legs were in knots. My arms and shoulders were numb. I wanted very badly to quit and walk the rest of the way. But I struggled and made it.

Ten minutes later my friend, Sammy Kauua, arrived. I told him some of what had happened. Sammy laughed.“ Are you kidding? That’ s Duke Kahanamoku. He won gold medals at the Olympics. I guess he’ s pretty good for sure!”

Several days later when I saw Kahanamoku on the beach, I talked to him and asked how an athlete could become good enough to win in the Olympics. He told me he did most of his swimming at the beach and then added,“ I swam because I liked it. It was always fun, and I was pretty good at it. We trained all right, but mostly we just swam. It was natural. I always enjoyed doing it.”

I was disappointed at the time because there was no easy answer there, no secret formula for success as an athlete. Thinking back on it now, though, I find the answer he gave me very appealing.

A．was an Olympic champion

C．He understood what Kahanamoku truly meant.

D．He felt disappointed about how to be a successful swimmer.

27、   Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.

Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract (抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking.

A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. Even the type of network signal that a phone uses can matter. Much of Switzerland was using an older “second-generation” type of cell phone networks, the study reports. Many phone carriers (通讯公司) have moved away from such networks. And more companies plan to update their networks within the next few years.

The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.

【1】The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “________”.

A. association B. damage

C. pattern D. improvement

【2】According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE?

A. The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total.

B. The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones.

C. Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones.

D. The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.

【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. How people hold their phones has no effect on their bodies.

B. Phone users can make more money with new networks.

C. The cell phone network type has little to do the cell phone use.

D. Radiation levels are affected by the cell phone network types.

【4】According to the study, teens who use their phones to their right ears a lot do worse in

A. matching numbers B. reading signals

C. remembering shape D. learning words

【5】What might be the best title for the text?

A. Cell phone use and safety warnings

B. Facts about cell phone use at school

C. Dangerous levels of cell phone use among teens

D. Teen’s cell phone use linked to memory problems

28、Humour has been an essential part of human behaviour for thousands of years. There is comedy in the texts of Ancient Greece, and medieval (中世纪的)writings are filled with jokes. While these same jokes might not be as funny to us now as they were then, their authors understood that humour could not only entertain but also throw new light on sensitive or emotive issues.

Closer to modern times, Mark Twain, the American writer, is remembered for his witty(风趣的)words in his everyday interactions with people. For instance, while on a lecturing tour, Twain went into a barber’s. The barber, not recognizing him, told him that if he wanted to go to the event he would have to stand, as there were no seats left in the theatre. Twain’s response was, “That’s just my luck. I always have to stand when that fellow lectures! ”

Like Twain, Lin Yutang, was also noted for his unique brand of humour. Once, having been invited to dinner at a university, he was put on the spot when the president suddenly asked him to give a speech. Thinking on his feet, Lin started to tell a story about a cruel Roman emperor who tried to feed a man to wild animals, first a lion, then a tiger. Each time the man whispered something in the car, after which the animal shook its head and walked away unhappily. “What did you say to my animals?” said the emperor, astonished. “I told them they had to make a speech after eating me for dinner.” Lin’s audience roared with laughter. With this little joke, Lin was able to make people laugh, while gently telling off the president.

Both Twain and Lin understood that humour isn’t just about laughter, but a way of life and a tool that can be used to illuminate the world.

【1】What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

A．The development of humor.

B．The origin of humor.

C．The importance of humor.

D．The definition of humor.

【2】In which way are Mark Twain and Lin Yutang alike?

A．Both change the style of humor.

B．Both use humor to make life relaxing.

C．Both are cager to cause a roar of laughter.

D．Both combine humor with serious writings.

【3】What does the underlined phrase mean?

A．Stepping onto the stage quickly.

B．Thinking carefully about his feet.

C．Standing up as soon as possible.

D．Having quick wits in an emergency.

【4】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．The president was Lin’s close friend.

B．The president was a cruel emperor.

C．Lin was willing to give a speech.

D．Lin was a bit angry with the president.

29、   I sat down, with food in my lap, waiting to watch a movie. It sounds like a typical Friday night at home, but this time it was not. I was sitting down in a theatre of over 300 Filipinos speaking their native tongues. We were watching a film named Ulam: Main Dish. It’s directed by a Filipino-American director, and it’s about Filipino / Filipino-American food.

Right before the film began, I was caught in this realization: this is a film created  by my people, for my people and about my people, and shared with an audience much larger than just us. This was the first time I had ever experienced a film of this nature. I could understand its stories and culture. The theatre went dark and before the film rolled, my eyes were already overflowed (洋溢)with pride.

I was watching this film at the Reel Asian Film Festival. At this year’s festival, I joined the Reel Asian team as their Social Media Assistant. This meant that during the festival I could actually get to speak to the filmmakers, actors, producers, etc. Particularly, I had the chance to speak to filmmakers about why a festival like this is important to them.

Through talking with them, I learned that there is something really unique about the Reel Asian Film Festival. It brings good Asian cinema a home in what is known as an incredibly diverse city, allowing these stories to be told to a diverse audience of diverse views.

For anyone looking to find themselves in a film, learn more about other cultures, and enjoy a good movie, I truly believe that Reel Asian is the place to be. As an annual event, it's so well planned and organized, and so much expectation is being built.

【1】How did the author probably feel while watching the movie?

A.She found the faces in the film strange.

B.She realized making a film was really hard.

C.She became very proud of being an American.

D.She could relate to the cultural information of the movie.

【2】What did the author’s position at the festival allow her to do?

A.Ask directors for a role. B.Sell her works to producers.

C.Communicate with those making films. D.Form a filming team of her own.

【3】According to the author, what is a function of the festival mentioned?

A.Introducing Asian films to more people.

B.Introducing other cultures to Asian producers.

C.Helping Asian people know more about foreign movies.

D.Helping Asian restaurants develop new markets.
