26、   Though pigs may never fly, a two-year-old pig in Franschhoek, South Africa is proving they sure can paint! Meet Pigcasso, the world's first known pig artist whose masterpieces are selling for thousands of dollars to benefit Farm Sanctuary S. A. , Africa's only registered shelter for rescued farm animals.

Joanne Lefson, who saved Pigcasso from a slaughterhouse(屠宰场) two years ago, discovered the animal's artistic talent accidentally. The South African activist says, of the numerous toys presented to keep the then four-week-old piglet entertained, it was the paintbrushes that seemed to attract her the most. "They were the only thing she didn't eat," Lefson quips.

The rescuer decided to present the pig with canvas and paint and see what happened. To her delight, Pigcasso began creating works of art that can best be described as "abstract expressionism". Now weighing a hefty(重量）450 pounds, the celebrated pig, who loves to paint the area's scenic landscapes, has a dedicated "studio" at Farm Sanctuary S.A. where she resides. Lefson says, "I do not force her to paint. She paints when she wants to. "

Pigcasso's artwork, which has thus far been sold online, is currently on display at Cape Town's picturesque Victoria ~ Alfred Waterfront. Dubbed "Oink", the pop-up exhibition will run through March 5before heading to London-Paris-Berlin, and Amsterdam. Lefson says its main aim is to highlight the effect of animal agriculture on the planet and inspire change.

While Pigcasso is the first pig and first nonhuman to headline an exhibition, she is not the first animal to create masterpieces. Elephants, sea lions, and even penguins have shown similar artistic talent--in exchange for some treats, of course!

【1】Which of the following shows Pigcasso is good at painting?

A. She can fly everywhere.

B. She likes all kinds of toys.

C. She is interested in the paintbrushes.

D. She enjoys eating the paintbrushes.

【2】How did Lefson feel when she saw Pigcasso creating works?

A. Pleased. B. Puzzled.

C. Worried. D. Frightened.

【3】What can we know from Paragraph 4?

A. Animal agriculture is important.

B. Pigcasso can make a lot of money.

C. Pigcasso will be sold online soon.

D. Pigcasso's artwork will be shown in a few cities.

【4】The author mentions elephants, sea lions and penguins in Paragraph 5 to tell us that _____ .

A. they are very naughty.

B. they have artistic skills.

C. they are as strong as Pigcasso.

D. their appearances are similar to each other.

27、   Wherever we look, we see advertisements that attract us to buy. In today’s society, we are under pressure to constant shop. Of course, most people only buy what they need and what they can afford. However, there are some people called shopaholics, who can’t control their desire to spend money buying things. This kind of addictive behavior can lead to money problems, family conflicts, and deep unhappiness.

What are the symptoms of a shopaholic? People with this problem often spend hours and hours shopping on the Internet or at the mall. Their closets are full of clothing and jewelry that they have never worn, with the price tags still on them. Their homes may be filled with shopping bags and boxes that they bought but never used. Many shopaholics are aware of their own problems, but when they go to a store, they simply can’t resist the urge to buy. Some of them are ashamed of their weakness and try to hide it by storing their purchases in places like the attic(阁楼), where others won’t see them.

Psychologists think there are several reasons for a shopping addiction. For some people, it is a way of reducing stress. For others, shopping is a way to fight loneliness or depression. For people with less confidence, shopping can be a way that they prove their self-worth. Sometimes the problem develops out of boredom. It replaces other hobbies and interests to help kill the time. Although shopping can temporarily make people feel good. they often feel ashamed and guilty later.

When shopping habits get out of control, people need professional help. They can either see a counselor(顾问) or join an organization such as Shopaholics Anonymous. Groups like this try to help people understand the reasons for their addiction and learn how to control the urge to shop. Their goal is to help people find ways to fulfill themselves rather than lead to serious debt and troubled lives.

【1】What are “shopaholics” like according to the passage?

A.They often spend plenty of money in shopping. B.They are proud of spending much money.

C.They are addicted to collecting shopping bags. D.They fail to realize their desire to shop constantly.

【2】Why do some shoppers hide their purchases in the attic?

A.They treasure what they have bought. B.They want to give their family a surprise.

C.They are afraid of being regarded as thieves. D.They are ashamed of their own constant shopping.

【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Money. B.Shopping. C.Stress. D.Self-worth.

【4】What are groups like “Shopaholics Anonymous” intended to do?

A.To encourage people to overcome their bad feelings.

B.To seek professional help in window shopping.

C.To help control some people’s desire to purchase.

D.To call on more people to get rid of their bad habits.

28、Gift givers often make serious mistakes in gift selection during the holiday season , according to a research article in Current Directions in Psychological Science,

The research, led by Jeff Galak, a professor from Carnegie Mellon University Tepper School of Business, suggests that gift givers tend to focus on the moment of exchange when selecting a gift, while gift receivers are more focused on the long-term value of the gift.

“What we found was that the giver wants to ‘wow（使喝彩）'the receiver and give a gift that can be enjoyed immediately, in the moment, while the receiver is more interested in a gift that provides value over time,” explained Galak. “Put another way, there may be times when the vacuum cleaner（吸尘器），a gift that is unlikely to wow most receivers when they open it on Christmas day, really ought to be at the top of the shopping list as it will be well used and liked for a long time. ”

The researchers found that this different focus on the gifts showed up in a number of different ways. For instance, some gift giving mistakes included giving unrequested gifts in an effort to surprise the receiver, when they are likely hoping for a gift from a planned list.

The researchers make recommendations for those hoping to choose better gifts, advising them to better put their feet in gift receivers’ shoes when thinking about gifts that would be both appreciated and useful.

“We exchange gifts with the people we care about, in part, in an effort to make them happy and strengthen our relationships with them,” Galak added. “By considering how valuable gifts might be over time for receivers, rather than how much of a smile it might put on receivers' faces when they are opened, we can meet these goals and provide useful, well-received gifts. ”

【1】What do the gift givers usually focus on when choosing gifts?

A．Receivers5 long-term needs.

B．Receivers' inner thoughts.

C．Receivers’ immediate reactions.

D．Receivers’ lifetime hobbies.

【2】Why does the author mention the vacuum cleaner in Paragraph 3?

A．To give advice on how to choose a gift.

B．To show the influence of the wrong gifts.

C．To stress the popularity of the vacuum cleaner.

D．To show the importance of a gift's long-term value.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．What a Good Gift Reveals about Personality?

B．A Good Gift Well Worth “Wows" and Smiles

C．How to Evaluate Value When Choosing a Gift?

D．Want to Give a Good Gift? Consider Practical Value

29、   A little boy always thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world because polio (小儿麻痹症) made his leg lame and his teeth uneven. He seldom played with his classmates; when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a word.

One spring, the boy’s father asked for some seeds from the neighbor. He wanted to plant them in front of the house. He told his children to plant a seed each. The father said to them, “Whose seed grows best, I will buy him or her a gift.” The boy also wanted to get his father’s gift, but seeing his brothers and sisters watering the trees joyfully, anyhow, he hit upon an idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So watering it once or twice, he never attended to it.

A few days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it not only didn’t become weak, but also grew some fresh leaves, and compared with the trees of his brothers and sisters, his tree appeared greener and more vital. His father kept his promise, bought the little boy his favorite gift and said to him, “From the tree you planted, you would become an outstanding botanist (植物学家) when you grew up.”

Since then, the little boy gradually became optimistic. One day, the little boy lay on the bed but couldn’t sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly recalled what the biology teacher once said, plants generally grow at night. Why not go to see the tree? When he came to the courtyard on tiptoe, he found his father was splashing something under his tree with a large spoon. All of a sudden, he understood: his father had been secretly fertilizing his small tree! He returned to his room, tears running down his face. Even if it is just a spoon of clear water, it can make the tree of life thrive.

【1】It can be learned from paragraphs 1-2 that the little boy ______ .

A.was ambitious in spite of his disability

B.was disabled and therefore less confident

C.showed no interest in plants and quit watering the tree

D.felt lonely and unlucky due to the prejudice against him

Scientists at New York University and Michigan State University in the US have developed a set of fake fingerprints. They say that the prints 【3】 unlock any fingerprint-enabled smartphone up to 65 percent of the time.

The artificial fingerprints 【4】 (create) by using many common features found in human prints. They work 【5】 taking advantage of the way smartphone scanners check a fingerprint.

Why your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems?  Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 【1】 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.

When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet，they appeared to 【2】that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.

While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”，there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to【3】. The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.

“Users are becoming slightly more 【4】what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”

But 【5】no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.

Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to 【6】 their mobile phone with an account, having a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to log on.

Although the serviced is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!，said that it was “the first step to【7】passwords”. He said it was a(n)【8】that it was increasingly hard for people to remember all the passwords they had. “I don’t think we, as an industry, have done a good enough job of putting ourselves in the shoes of the people using our products,” he said.

It would certainly be a more sensible strategy than same people’s improving upon “password” by using “password” or，“tran5p053d numb3r5 f0r 133tr3r5”.

“We are, for the most part，predictably【9】when it comes to choosing passwords, despite a decade of warnings from password strength checkers during sign-ups” said WP Engine. “We love taking a(n) 【10】, and so do password crackers.

When Justin was 7, he suffered from a disease that led to problems with the development of his back. Over the years, the little boy had gone through a total of five corrective surgeries. Justin could no longer walk and was limited to a wheelchair. But this did not stop him from living a normal life thanks to his mother’ S love and others’ help.

After entering high school, Justin got interested in playing the trumpet (小号) and joined the school’s band. He served as one of the band’s trumpeters and developed a strong friendship with his partner Tom. As Thanksgiving Day approached, the band intended to perform in the Thanksgiving Day Parade and every member had the chance to join in, including Justin. However, there was one obvious problem. Justin could not control his wheelchair and play the trumpet at the same time. The band director put forward an idea of one student pushing Justin during his marches. Tom immediately volunteered even though it meant he had to give up the opportunity to play his own instrument during the parade.“I do it just to make sure Justin knows that he always has a place in the band, and he always will,“ Tom said to their director secretly. From then on, the two practiced together, one playing the instrument and the other pushing the wheelchair with the rhythm of the music.

To help Justin, Tom sacrificed (牺牲) far beyond expectation. Apart from losing the chance to perform, he needed to spare more time to take care of Justin and even missed his football training several times. All of these were seen by Justin and the burden of guilt weighed heavily on his mind.“I can’t meet my own needs at the sacrifice of Tom’s chance. It is time to find a solution.” Justin thought to himself as his mother pushed him on the way home. His mother lowered her head and said,“Justin, play me your new tune.” Justin took out his trumpet and was about to play when an excellent idea came to him.
