26、When 45-year-old Randy Pausch was diagnosed with pancreatic (胰腺)cancer, he chose to focus on living rather than dying. As a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pausch was asked to deliver a "last lecture”. This well-known campus tradition allowed professors to share worldly wisdom with students as if they were dying and had one last lecture to give.

The only difference in Pausch's case is that Pausch really was dying, but it only motivated him more. He delivered his last lecture, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” on Sept. 18, 2007.

Pausch began by sharing several of his boyhood dreams, some of which he had achieved and the others he hadn't. He described the importance of having dreams and how anyone can still learn a lot by reaching for those dreams, even if they don't always succeed He shared the values learned through experience, which he hoped to pass on to others hard work, laughter and gratitude.honesty , character ,

Pausch's last lecture received a great deal of praise and attention. It became a crazy YouTube hit, and in October 2007, he presented an abridged (删节的)version on “The Oprah Winfrey Show". He turned the lecture into a book by the same name, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers were deeply moved by the book's representation of Pausch's lifelong philosophy and the way it revealed the biggest source of his motivation—his three young children.

Pausch passed away on July 25, 2008, but his voice lives on in the recorded lecture and his book He continues to motivate us all by encouraging us to never give up our childhood dreams—a source of inspiration that can never run dry.

27、   The gentle giant of our oceans are whale, sharks. It's ,the biggest  shark and  can  reach as .long as 41.5 feet. Whale sharks have a lifespan of 70 years , on average-, and they spend their days  gently swimming in the  warm. and tropical oceans.

Their teeth are the size of match heads, and while their jaws could be powerfiil , they have never tended to attack humans. Their teeth play no role in eating, as  plankton (浮游生物)）does  not need to be chewed. They are to be found in numbers in the warmer oceans and they prefer the deep waters of the open oceans. They tend to travel alone.

Several times a year they gather together in. certain spots where  plankton is  plentiful . Those  areas are all  within  a  300 north  or south  latitude from  the- equator. And  sadly whale sharks  are targeted by  commercial-fisheries . at those spots.  How easy  it  must be for those  fishermen  to catch  those  beautiful creatures who can only swim at 3. 5 miles per hour! So great a loss in numbers have they suffered, that whale sharks are now listed  as one of the endangered species.  Some countries and areas  have started to take measures to protect the whale sharks from  extinction.

The Philippines, India - and  Taiwan have all  banned the  fishing, selling, importing  and exporting of whale sharks for commercial purpose. However, the  law  does not  seem  to  be effective  because the  hunting and killing still  goes on  today,. especially in Taiwan and the  . Philippines. Each whale shark can fetch around $ 21,000. In parts of Asia they are known as the "money shark”.

The mighty dollar , wins again, at great cost to our habitat,  and  we  will not  know what  we have lost until we have lost it forever. Therefore, it is high time for us to do something  for the whale  sharks.

【1】We can learn from the passage that whale sharks_______.

A. usually live a life of more than 70 years

B. always  travel  in the  ocean in groups

C. depend on their teeth to harvest their - food

D. live in the deep waters of the  warmer  oceans

【2】We know that  in  Taiwan  and the Philippines, _______________,

A. fishermen are earning little by catching the  whale sharks

B. fishermen have stopped hunting- and killing the whale sharks

C. fishermen are continuing to hunt and kill the  whalesharks .

D. importing and  exporting whale sharks is allowed

【3】It is implied in the passage that _______.

A. whale sharks will be extinct even if they are protected

B. whale sharks are the most dangerous marine dhimals

C. there is no law about banning the fishing of whale sharks

D. the huge profit is to blame for the decreasing numbers of whale sharks

【4】What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. To call on people to protect whale sharks.

B. To guide people how to fish and kill whale sharks.

C. To advise the government to make related laws.

D. To analyze the value of whale sharks.

28、   Every feature of the supermarket--from floor plan and shelf layout to lighting, music, and ladies offering free sausages on sticks ---is designed to bring us in , keep us there , and get us into spending money.

From my own experience , once I enter a supermarket, it' s often not easy for me to get out again. A common feature of supermarkets is the one-way entry door; to get back out, you have to walk through a good portion of the store----with its attractive displays of buyables---to find an exit. I am often subjected to this clever arrangement.

After the one-way front door, the first supermarket feature you encounter is the produce department. There’s a good reason for this: the sensory impact of all those good smells and beautiful colors makes us feel both cheerful and hungry. Similarly the store bakery is usually near the entrance with its delicious smell of fresh-baked bread, as is the flower shop, with its buckets of roses and banks of greenery. The message we get right off the bat is that the supermarket is a welcoming place, fresh, natural, fragrant, and healthy.

Plus, dairy departments are almost invariably located as far from the entrance as possible, ensuring that customers－most of whom will have to walk the length of the store, passing a wealth of tempting products, en route  (在途中）to the milk, cheese, and yogurt. Especially popular items are routinely located in the middle of aisles (过道），so that even the most single-minded buyer has a chance to be attracted by alternatives. Mid-aisle positioning is intended to sideline the so-called Boomerang Effect, in which some shoppers simply head for the item they need , then return the way they came.

So what to do about all this? Make a list and stick to it. Try not to shop so often and don't shop when you' re hungry. And when it comes to supermarket psychology, know what to look for. Forewarned is forearmed.

【1】What might be unavoidable after the author enters a supermarket?

A.Having difficulty in finding the exit.

B.Getting out with many unintended purchases.

C.Feeling at a loss in front of so many alternatives.

D.Being annoyed by the ladies offering free sausages.

【2】How does the author introduce the function of the produce department?

A.By quoting an expert. B.By drawing comparisons.

C.By making classifications. D.By following the order of space.

【3】What does the underlined word"sideline"in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Inspire. B.Estimate C.Prevent D.Expand

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Surviving the tricky psychology of the supermarket

B.Reducing your must-buys during grocery shopping

C.Tips on buying cheaper products in supermarkets

D.Things to look for when shopping in supermarkets

29、   If you're looking to fully experience Africa's breathtaking scenery, and have an eye for adventure, then there's only one place to be. Here, inside Africa picks four of the best hikes from across the continent.

1. Kilimanjaro

Make it to the top of Tanzanians 5,895-meter Kilimanjaro, and you'll be standing at Africa's highest point. The mountain is Africa's most-visited hiking destination, attracting tens of thousands of tourists and adventures every year.

You don't have to be a technical climber to climb Mount Kilimanjaro； you just need not be pretty physically fit. There are six routes to choose from difficulty, scenery and success. No special equipment.

2. Atlas Mountains

The High Atlas is an impressive mountainous range in central Morocco that hosts North Africa's highest peak — Mount Toubkal, at 4,165 meters. There's a variety of routes to follow during your climb but inexperienced climbers should note that the hike through the mountain' challenging zones is quite demanding.

3. Mount Kenya

A long-extinct volcano. Mount Kenya is Africa's second-highest peak, at 5,199 meters.

Lying just south of the equator, the mountain's deep valleys and diverse wildlife will guarantee you wonderful scenery and a fantastic hiking experience.

The climb, however, to the mountain's steep ice-capped peaks is quite challenging, making it the most technical, probably, in that East African area.

4. Mount Meru

Mount Meru may forever exist in the shadow of its neighbor, Kilimanjaro, but Tanzanians second-highest mountain （4,565 meters） has its own devotees.

It's less known, but Mount Meru is for the true enthusiast who wants to experience what very few people actually do.

Mount Meru is often used by mountaineers to accustom themselves before trying to conquer Kilimanjaro, or by those wanting a hike with the local Massai.

【1】What do we know about Kilimanjaro?

A.It's the highest mountain in the world. B.It's relatively easy to climb.

C.Its six routes can be chosen by difficulty. D.The climbers need special facilities.

【2】Why do mountaineers climb Mount Meru first before they do Kilimanjaro?

A.To avoid big crowds of climbers. B.To conquer the local Massai.

C.To experience what most people do. D.To get ready for harder climbing.

【3】Which is the lowest of the four?

A.Kilimanjaro. B.Atlas Mountains.

C.Mount Kenya. D.Mount Meru.

34、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?

Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.

The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their 【4】 screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they’re “the 【5】 of a small tablets and smart-phone, all in a single device”.

The technology could 【6】 other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to 【7】 available space.

In a keynote address, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the fold-able screen “the 【8】 for the smart-phone of tomorrow.” “It’s a balank canvas for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.

So is there nothing to stand in the way of the fold-able future?

According to tech news website Android authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every to OLED screens produced were 【9】. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these fold-able devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That’s a price that may 【10】 the majority of people.

But if the fold-able device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.

Patrick Moor-head, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if fold-able or roll-able mobile displays are the future of smart-phones; the only question is when and by whom.”

Wearing face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic p【1】 the spread of the deadly virus. But it is also i【2】. For one, we can no longer unlock our phones using facial recognition since a good part of our face is c【3】.

Even though the update still won’t recognize your masked face, it makes the whole process f【7】. While the old system wouldn’t allow access t【8】 the passcode screen before three failed face scan attempts, iOS13.5 will send you straight to the passcode screen when you swipe up.

It might only s【9】 you a few seconds, but those few seconds “benefit public health by eliminating the temptation for people to r【10】 their masks in order to unlock their device”.

The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.

And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.

The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

39、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Cell phones are used everywhere, but on the road they are a dangerous distraction (分心) to drivers and should be forbidden.

The New England Journal of Medicine reported that "drivers using a cell phone were four times more likely to have an accident than those not using a phone." The major problem is that the driver is not focused on the road, but on his or her conversation. Cell phone drivers are very unpredictable: they drive too fast or too slow, make improper turns, run red lights and even stop at green ones. It's not only annoying; it's dangerous. Accidents related to cell phones include off a road and crashing into a tree, fences, and buildings and even turning over.

In October at the California Traffic Safety Summit, experts showed that "cell phones used by drivers lead to at least 1,000 deaths per year in California." These are the same problems that occur with drunk driving, which is against the law and strictly enforced. For the same reasons, California needs laws that ban the use of cell phone in cars.

Until we take action to pass new laws, drivers at least need to be more responsible when using cell phones. The American Automobile Association recommends that drivers pull off the road before using a cell phone, have a passenger use it for them, or use voice mail to answer calls. Another suggestion is to keep the phone off while moving or simply not to use it in the car. Before using a cell phone, drivers should ask themselves, "Is this call really that important?"

Cell phones can be a very important link in emergencies, but drivers need to use them wisely. As professional NASCAR racer John Andretti says, "Driving safely is your first responsibility." The best road to safety is to just hang up and drive.

40、   Roman was the school tough(厉害的) guy because his father was a tough guy. If anyone dared to disobey (不服从)him, they received a beating.

Until Victor arrived. No one would have said that Victor or his dad looked like tough guys : they were very thin and had no muscles . however, this was what Victor said to Ramon when Roman went up to him to make him afraid .

“Hey , new kid. You should know that I am the leader , and I am the toughest guy here.”

“You might be the leader but I am the toughest guy here.”

That was when Victor got his first beating .The second was the day Ramon tried to take a girl’s sandwich from her .

“This girl is a friend of mine and I am the toughest guy in school .So she will not give you her sandwich.” ---were Victor’s last words before the blows started raining down on him.

His third beating came when he did not want to hand over his own sandwich .

“Tough guys like my dad and me do not steal from others ,and you are supposed to be a tough guy too ?” he replied .

Victor got hit regularly ,but he never backed down（临阵退缩） . His bravery in protecting those weaker than him began to impress the rest of his classmates , and he soon gained admirers. Lots of other children began to play with him , so Ramon had even fewer chances to hit Vitor and his friends .

One day ,at the school door ,Ramon’s dad asked him who Victor was .

“That little boy is the tough boy who is the new boss of the playground ?” said Ramon’s father . “You are useless. I am going to hit you and show you what a tough guy really is .”

While 1 was sitting in the living room, the days that I spent with my mom crowded in on me. We had a very Tom and Jerry relationship. She was a strict trainer; I was naughty. She would ask me to buy groceries, and I wouldn't come right home because I'd be using the change from the milk and bread to play video games at the supermarket. I loved video games. I was a master at Street Fighter. I could go forever on a single play. I'd drop a coin in, time would fly, and the next thing 1 knew there'd be a woman standing behind me with a belt. It was a race. I'd take off out the door and through the dusty streets of Eden Park, climbing over walls. It was a normal thing in our neighborhood:

Everyone knew: The child would come through like a bat out of hell, and his mom would be right there behind him. She could go fast in high heels, but if she really wanted to come after me, she'd kick her shoes off while still going at top speed. She'd do this strange move with her ankles and the heels would go flying and she wouldn't even miss a step. When 1 was little she always caught me, but as I got older I got faster. So it was not easy for her to catch me.

Paragraph 1: When speed failed her, she used her wisdom.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2: If given a chance, I would let my mom run in front of me.
