26、   All eyes were on Jack Ma. The chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. left his position on Teachers’ Day from leading the e-commerce（电子商务） giant he founded 20 years ago.

“I still have lots of dreams to go after,” Ma wrote in an open letter last year to announce his parting. “The world is big, and I am still young, so I want to try new things.”

The 55-year-old businessman showed that he was ready for new things by arriving at his farewell party dressed up like a rock star.

In fact, his rags-to-riches（白手起家的） story is a good example of doing something different. Visiting the United States in 1995, Ma saw the internet and had the idea of setting up his own trading website. In 1999, he founded Alibaba with a group of friends in a shared apartment, struggling for years to get it off the ground. With all the challenges, the company slowly brought e-commerce to China.

Although his success has inspired a number of Chinese tech businessmen, Ma pointed out that the key is having a dream. “It’s the dreams that keep us full of confidence and never afraid of setbacks（挫折）.” Ma said in a video posted on Sept 9.

Now the experienced businessman is looking to focus on education. What can he offer? “I’m not going to teach English; I’m not going to teach business, But I’m going to teach young people how to face challenges,” he told Bloomberg News.

Skilled sailors were never made on calm waters. As Ma said, “Today is cruel. Tomorrow is crueler. But the day after tomorrow is beautiful.”

【1】What did Jack Ma announce on Teachers’ Day?

A.His retirement from Alibaba.

B.His plan to enlarge his online business.

C.His dream of becoming a rock star.

D.His plan to return to teaching.

【2】What can we infer according to Paragraph 4?

A.Jack Ma was born in a rich family.

B.Jack Ma had the idea of setting up his own trading website in 1999.

C.Jack Ma founded Alibaba alone.

D.Jack Ma went through challenges to found Alibaba.

【3】What does Ma think dreams mean to us?

A.Dreams can guide us to further our education.

B.Dreams can give us confidence and courage.

C.Dreams can push us to set up new businesses.

D.Dreams can lead us to offer more to society.

【4】What lessons will be offered by Ma?

A.How to operate business.

B.How to learn English.

C.How to face challenges.

D.How to set up a website.

【5】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply?

A.Practice makes perfect.

B.Confidence is the key to success.

C.Skilled sailors like calm waters.

D.We should face challenges bravely.

27、   “It’s raining, it’s pouring. The old man is snoring (打鼾). He bumped his head when he went to bed, and he couldn’t get up in the morning.” Why couldn’t the old man in the children’s song get up? (Let’s kindly suppose that he just didn’t want to get up.) This was possibly because in the absence of sunlight, the body was still producing the hormone melatonin (褪黑素), which makes people sleepy.

There are many ways that rainfall affects human behavior. But how much does rain really affect people’s moods and behavior?

In 2008, researchers from the University of Minnesota and Lanzhou University published a paper. They proposed that decreased rainfall was influential in social upheaval (社会动荡) and the downfall of the Tang, Yuan and Ming dynasties in ancient China. This is thought to be related to reduced rice cultivation.

But how might rain affect social behavior in the modern world? A 2009 New York Times  investigation found that murder rates in New York drop significantly on rainy days. Meanwhile, in Britain, Dr. Peter Langmead-Jones of Greater Manchester police published a study in 2015 detailing an analysis of 6.6 million police records over one decade in Manchester. “The research showed that the heavier the rainfall, the lower the recorded crime,” he said.

Langmead-Jones also found that there is a strong association between heavy rain and relatively few violent crimes recorded including domestic abuse. This might be because heavy rain stops people from going out to buy alcohol and the reduced alcohol consumption results in fewer crimes.

It’s not all good news though. One study in 1997 concluded that the behavior of children can predict oncoming storms — they were observed to exhibit their worst behavior when barometric pressure (气压) fell. Another study in 2012 found that women are much more likely to be affected psychologically by rain and that they report much lower levels of life satisfaction than men on rainy days.

For all the complaints about rain, it does have some characteristics that hold broad appeal. The sound of raindrops can be very comforting and often features in sleep-inducing relaxation apps. The theory behind this is that the pitter-patter of raindrops is a form of “pink noise.” It can decrease brain activity and consequently improves the quality of sleep. So if it’s raining where you are, the best thing to do may be to have a nap.

【1】The author uses the lyrics of a song in the first paragraph to _______.

A.introduce the interesting song to readers

B.voice his understanding of why the old man couldn’t get up in the morning

C.illustrate one way that wet weather influences human behavior

D.explain why people often get up late on rainy days

【2】According to Dr. Peter Langmead-Jones, relatively few crimes are recorded on rainy days because _______.

A.people prefer to take a nap at home when it’s raining

B.most people are depressed on rainy days

C.people are too lazy to go out when it’s raining

D.alcohol consumption is reduced due to wet weather

【3】According to the article, the influences that rainy days have on human behavior include _______.

① decreased grain output

② relatively few criminal records

③ higher chance of feeling low in spirits

④ more possibility of feeling sleepy

A.①②③ B.①②④

C.①③④ D.②③④

【4】According to the last paragraph, what’s the positive impact of rain on human behavior?

A.The sound of raindrops helps people sleep better.

B.On rainy days, all people can get more sleep.

C.It offers a good chance to listen to relaxing music.

D.People feel more satisfied with themselves when it’s raining.

28、   Only a few people in Toronto have the luck to live within walking distance from their workplace. For the rest of us, commuting (长途上下班) is a rather unpleasant daily necessity.

So how do you avoid a traffic jam in Toronto? You can do it in the old way and listen to one of the radio stations that give regular updates about the traffic situation in Toronto's streets. Seeing the big picture of Toronto's traffic and knowing when and where heavy traffic occurs is a must. From my own experience, there are situations where a quick decision can help you make it in time for an event or a meeting. That's why we prepared three short videos showing the overall traffic situation in Toronto from dawn to night. You can click them and watch.

With the help of "Google Maps", where you can watch the live traffic density all over the world and average traffic data based on past conditions, we are able to provide you with traffic maps for a typical (平常的) Friday.

Friday traffic in Toronto is quite fast in the early morning, with only a few hot spots showing up at the major junctions (交叉点) at 7:00 am. The morning traffic jam starts light at 7:30 and the traffic gradually slows down to reach a breaking point at 8:30. The roads are quite free afterwards, only Allen Road is likely to be jammed around lunchtime from 11:30 am to 12:00. It comes as no surprise that Friday afternoon brings heavy traffic as early as 1:30 pm, mainly on the Don Valley Parkway. You won't have a good time getting away from the city from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm, as there is a good chance to get caught in a traffic jam. The traffic in Toronto is quite heavy on a Friday night. I hope you will have a nice Friday night in the city and a safe journey home this Friday!

【1】By saying "commuting is a rather unpleasant daily necessity", the writer refers to the fact that ______ .

A.buses are usually very crowded.

B.people have to travel a long way to work

C.people are often stuck in traffic jams.

D.people usually cannot do anything on the way to work.

【2】According to Paragraph 2, when you are in a traffic jam, what should you do?

A.Do nothing but to wait patiently.

B.Report your situation to a radio station.

C.Make a quick decision and find another way to go.

D.Relax and enjoy some good radio programmes.

【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.What the traffic in Toronto is like for a typical Friday.

B.How to avoid heavy traffic on Friday.

C.Why the traffic is terrible on Friday.

D.What "Google Maps" can do for us.

【4】Where is this passage taken from?

A.A TV programme. B.A radio programme.

C.A travel booklet. D.A website.

29、   An average but an extraordinary charitian, Matel Dawson gave away $ 1.3 million to charity over his lifetime.

The Safe (保险箱)

----- A Rich Man Finds the Best Way to be Truly Rich

Once upon a time, a rich man hired a great mathematician (数学家) to find him a way to make him more money. The rich man was so g【1】 that he even built a giant safe and his dream was to fill it with gold and jewels.

The mathematician worked on the problem for months. One night he said to the rich man “I’ve done it! My idea is perfect! You’ll be wealthy b【2】 your wildest dreams.” The rich man was d【3】 to hear this. Before he left on a long journey, he promised the mathematician double pay to run his business for him.

When the rich man returned, he found that all of his wealth was gone. Very angry, he asked the mathematician to explain. The mathematician told him he’d g【4】 everything away to people in the neighborhood.

The mathematician said “There is a limit to how much wealth one can get by himself. Then I realized that many people could help us a【5】 our goal. By helping o【6】, you could gain the most!”

Disappointed, the rich man went away. As he was walking, every neighbor he met was so thankful to him that they o【7】 him anything he needed.

Over the next few weeks, the man saw the mathematician’s idea really w【8】. He was received with great honor w【9】 he went. Everyone did all they could to help him.

He no longer dreamed of keeping his wealth in a safe. I 【10】 he shared it with hundreds of friends. He was now truly rich.
