26、Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear people speaking Chinese aloud.【1】 After walking into a store, it’s possible that you’ll see Huawei smartphones for sale. This isn’t referring to   China, but Manchester, UK.【2】Indeed, Chinese   products have gone global.

【3】But to meet local people’s tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. “One example is the meat”, said Yin Hang, who is studying at the University of Wollongong in Australia. “We like to eat meat with the bone in, but people here don’t. So Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish.”

【4】In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers, reported Reuters. More than half of US-owned drones (无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They’re not simply made in China, but designed and developed in   the country.

In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But things   have changed greatly.【5】“For   example,   Huawei,   one   of China’s major smartphone makers, overtook Apple in global smartphone sales for the first time in June and July last year,” noted consulting firm Counterpoint Research.

A．Many Chinese brands (品牌) are also becoming more popular.

B．Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time.

C．“Made in China” has become cool and more people trust Chinese brands.

D．Meanwhile, international brands are still enjoying great success in China.

F．In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities around the world.

G．What is the biggest problem with many Chinese brands?

27、Understanding Your Feelings Helps You Name And Tame (驯服) Them

We all experience various feelings all the time. Some of them feel great, some feel unpleasant, and it’s helpful to be able to recognize and understand how you’re feeling so you know how to deal with it.

【1】 They can include anger, sadness, worry, loneliness and shame, as well as surprise, happiness, courage and hope, among many others.【2】 All feelings are there to be felt and some can be more uncomfortable than others. It’s OK and natural to experience different emotions – and that includes emotions that might not feel nice.

To deal with your feelings you need to recognize what they are. 【3】 Are your fists clenched (攥紧)? Does it seem like there’s a knot in your stomach? Next, pay attention to what you’re thinking at this time. 【4】 Or are you thinking that you really don’t want to do something? Once you have identified how you’re feeling, you can label it by saying, for example, “I’m feeling angry” or “I’m feeling lonely” .

You can understand a difficult feeling and help yourselfto handle it. 【5】 If you’re upset about a difficult feeling, like “I’m feeling angry”, you might count to ten to calm down. Perhaps you notice “I’m feeling nervous”, and you might talk to someone about it. The person you talk to may be able to give you reassurance, more information, a different point of view, or even help you take action to deal with the cause of your difficult feeling.

A．Experts call this “name it to tame it” .

B．How can you deal with different feelings?

C．Perhaps you have the thought, “It’s not fair” .

D．Feelings are how people experience emotions.

E．First of all, notice what’s going on with your body.

F．They are shown through various body movements, to begin with.

G．Feelings are sometimes labelled as good or bad but that isn’t helpful.

28、   It is very common for a classroom to have a world map on the wall. However, a new map, called the AuthaGraph World Map, might replace the old maps. 【1】 This surprised many because earlier winners of the important award have been things like robots and mobility chairs.

But this map is very special, because it is more accurate than the maps you have used at school. This is because it is difficult to copy the 3-D, spherical surface (球面) of the world onto a 2-D map. 【2】 This means places like North America look much bigger than they really are. North America looks the same size as Africa, even though Africa is much bigger. 【3】

Many people have tried to fix this problem, but until now they haven’t been successful.

【4】Created by Japanese designer Hajime Narukawa, it cuts the globe into 96 equal triangles and puts them into a tetrahedron (四面体) shape. In this way, the designer keeps the proportions (比例) of the land and water the same when going from a 3-D sphere to a 2-D map.

The map is already being used in Japanese school textbooks. According to the Good Design Award judges, it is the best example of what the planet really looks like. 【5】

A.It recently won Japan’s 2016 Good Design Award.

B.That means the body of the world has been changed.

C.Bodies of water and land are distorted (变形) because of this.

D.It recently becomes very popular in Japan and catch much attention.

E.The AuthaGraph World Map appears to have solved the problem using geometry(几何学).

F.Similarly, Alaska looks bigger than Brazil, even if Brazil is more than five times bigger in real life.

G.However, they did suggest increasing the accuracy further by cutting the world into even smaller pieces.

29、When it comes to getting ahead, is IQ or EQ more important? A thought experiment conducted featuring butterflies and geniuses settles the question once and for all.

【1】 So if you asked people whether they’d rather be a butterfly or a genius, I’m betting most people wouldn’t hesitate before choosing genius. But butterflies are also social creatures, often gathering in groups. The experiment points out just how big an advantage friendliness can be.

Imagine two groups of people. We’ll call them the Geniuses and the Butterflies for short. 【2】 They come up with one ground-breaking invention every 10 human lifetimes. The Butterflies aren’t nearly as bright. They take 1,000 lifetimes to come up with a world-changing invention.

But what the Butterflies lack in cognitive(认知的)horsepower, they make up for in social skills. 【3】 However, the egghead Geniuses are a little awkward. They only have one friend. Now imagine everyone goes about their business trying to learn about cool, new inventions, either by figuring them out for themselves or learning about them from friends. 【4】 The one where the people are a hundred times smarter(the Geniuses)or the one where they’re 10 times more social(the Butterflies)?

Well, communicating ideas within a group might not feel as impressive as coming up with brilliant ideas alone in a corner. Chatty Cathys(滔滔不绝的人)clearly have less cultural mystery than Nobel winners. But without them, new ideas don’t spread fast enough to-make big impact. 【5】

This fascinating thought experiment is good news for the communicators and connectors of the world, but it’s also a valuable lesson for anyone putting-together a team.

A．Which society does better?

B．Each Butterfly has 10 friends.

C．The Geniuses are, well, geniuses.

D．Butterflies are pretty but lacking in strength.

E．Is it hard for the experiment to draw a conclusion?

F．In terms of group success, EQ matters more than raw IQ.

G．The Butterflies shouldn’t be compared with the Geniuses.

The professor was a(n) _________ good person. He called the student at his house in the evening.

32、阅读下面短文, 根据内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Is Fast Fashion Taking Over?

The fashion industry has changed significantly in recent years. Traditionally, fashion retailers(零售商) created two clothing collections per year, called seasons. Nowadays, in contrast, they can design and manufacture(生产) clothes in as little as four weeks. Fast Fashion means that the latest designs shown at the fashion shows in Paris, London, New York, and Milan can be coped and sold in shopping malls within a month.

The advantages of rapidly changing fashions are clear. Shortening the life cycle of a product means that if a design doesn’t sell well within a week, it is taken out of the stores and replaced with a new one. This is good for manufacturers, as it means a greater volume of sales. It is also good for customers, who can keep up with fast-moving trends cheaply and who can enjoy finding something new every time they visit the store.

However, there are also a number of disadvantages to the fast-fashion approach. Perhaps the biggest concern is the impact of wasted clothes on the environment. The low cost of most fast fashion enables shoppers to buy several new sets of clothes each season. This means that huge amounts of clothing are thrown away. Furthermore, with fashions changing so quickly, cotton growers need to produce more cotton more cheaply, and that means using more pesticides and chemicals. A third problem is the theft of ideas. Fashion houses invest a lot of time and money in new designs, only to see these ideas stolen and copied by fast-fashion companies.

In short, these days it seems that the fashion industry is changing almost as fast as the fashion it produces. What do you think of this?
