26、   A couple were shocked after a thief who stole their wedding rings 15 years ago returned them, long with an apology litter. The four gold rings disappeared from the Riphagen family's home when their 16-year-old daughter, Margot, threw a house party in 1998. But they have now been reunited with the belongings after the kid stole them.

The mystery thief tracked down the couple through their daughter, who lives in Portland; Oregon, and posted the rings back with the touching letter. A hand-written note made its way to Mr and Mrs Riphagen. “I am writing you to apologize for being in possession of something I am sure you truly value and miss,” the person wrote before explaining that he or she took the rings from the family's home many years ago. “I recently found these rings while cleaning and I wanted to make sure to return then as Tm sure they were missed dearly,” the thief went on. “I hope you are the right Riphagen family.”

The rings that were stolen included the mother's wedding ting and a ring Mr. Ripbagen gave his wife when their first child was born. The thief also made off with one set of grandparents' wedding bands that had been intended for the children. The person went on the letter. “Again, I am truly sorry for any pain; heartache that my actions may have caused your family. I hope that you can find it in your hearts to forgive me.”

The family was thrilled to have the rings back, even after such a long time. They don't really care who sent it, certainly don't want to seek out who did it, and are just grateful to have these things back. Margot Riphagen told the Huf fington Post she was shocked when the treasured possessions turned up.

27、Technology is more than an abstract concept associated with advanced tools and systems. It also shapes the way people behave, grow and develop, both within their own lives and in their relationships with others. While technology has developed over thousands of years, the last century has seen an explosion in technology that has influenced fundamental changes in how humans see the world and interact with others. Specifically, the Internet and mobile devices have completely changed the way people interact with each other. There has been a debate going on whether technology is benefiting human communication or ruining it.

Undoubtedly, technology is helping people build newer and necessary communication skills. In business, office employees and managers use technology to send emails to one another, which is considered a communication skill. On social media, just share a few of your images and people start communicating on and about your images according to their viewpoint. With the outbreak of COVID-19, in order to work on the projects, the students use their phones to reach their teachers and classmates.

However, technology is sometimes considered to disconnect people from others around them. With cell phones, most people think that it’s easier and more convenient to text instead of meeting in person. Lucas Lengacher, an undergraduate from Huntington University, claims in his article that at least 42.91% people respond to messages immediately yet only 2.83% people don’t check their phones in the morning. In his research he “found that almost 60 percent of people felt disconnected from others around when they were on their phones”.

【1】Which has basically influenced human interaction according to the passage?

A．People's value.

B．Social systems.

C．Mobile devices.

D．Communication skills.

【2】How is the idea of paragraph 2 supported?

A．By analyzing data.

B．By providing cases.

C．By defining a concept

D．By making comparisons.

【3】What does Lucas’s research find?

A．Phones are getting more and more popular.

B．Phones disconnect us when we are together.

C．People are eager for personal communication.

D．People communicate less because of physical distance.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to technology?

A．Disappointed.

B．Positive.

C．Doubtful

D．Objective

28、   For high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习). In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far between.

Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.

But in America, education reform (改革) programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的) kids with no jobs and no skills.

Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school.

However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to 19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row. “The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,” said Michael, a researcher in the US.

【1】What’s the main idea of the text?

A.Arguments about recent US education reform.

B.Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.

C.The lack of career-based courses in US high schools.

D.Advice for American high school leavers.

【2】According to Robert Schwartz, _________.

A.there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the US

B.teenagers in the US can’t miss out on the summer job experience

C.education reform should focus on students’ performance in exams

D.students should get contact with the working world at high school

【3】The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 5 most probably means __________.

A.discouraging B.interesting

C.creative D.unbearable

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A.High school leavers with no practical skills can’t find a job at all.

B.Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.

C.Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a job.

D.US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.

29、Ensley made me a poet.

When I was one, my parents and I moved into a tiny apartment off 20th Street. I wrote my first poem sitting in the corner of my bedroom, surrounded by toys. I was 7 or 8 and the poem was for my best friend who had moved away. I was angry with him for being willing to leave me, and when I get angry, I get mean. I figured his leaving would be easier to face, if I pushed him away first. But as soon as the moving truck pulled away, I realized how foolish I’d been.

So I wrote him a poem to apologize. The poem was terrible, of course, but with it, a lifelong love affair began --- not with the boy who moved away, but with the written word. As an adult, I’d write poems about playing kickball in the parking lot of those Ensley apartment blocks, and poems about trips to see the candy lady and to the corner store.

When people ask me where in Birmingham I grew up, I sometimes say “Everywhere”. We moved around a lot and the neighborhoods of Birmingham find their way into so much of what I write.

I had to leave Birmingham to learn how to tell true stories in prose (散文). After college in Alabama and graduate school in Berkeley, California, I moved to Kentucky to be a newspaper reporter. My skill at writing personal essays landed me my own column(专栏) and the chance to be included in a collection of essays published by Seal Press.

Then I came home.

In her book Writing Down the Bones, Natalie Goldberg writes, “It is very important to go home if you want your work to be whole...you must claim where you come from and look deep into it. Come to honor and embrace it, or at the least, accept it.”

Now in Birmingham, I get to share my story in local magazines and on my blog. And I build my story through every friendship formed in this city of steel, sweat, and sweet tea.

【1】Ensley is the name of a_____________.

A．toy

B．boy

C．place

D．store

【2】What does Para. 4 tell us about the author?

A．She enjoys traveling very much.

B．She prefers poetry to news reports.

C．She gave up writing poems after college.

D．She made some achievements in writing.

【3】Why does the author mention Natalie Goldberg’s words?

A．To prove they had similar interests.

B．To show her love for Natalie Goldberg.

C．To explain why she returned to Birmingham.

D．To introduce Natalie Goldberg’s book to readers.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Writing changes my life.

B．Home is where your story is.

C．Moving around makes me a poet.

D．Childhood friendship is a source of writing.

30、Gone are the days when big businesses were looked upon by environmentalists as enemies in the fight against global warming.

Just two weeks after U. S. President Donald Trump pulled his country out of the Paris Climate Agreement, more than 900 American firms put their _______to a “We Are Still In” open letter to the United Nations. Together, they promise to help reduce America’s carbon emissions by 26 percent by 2025, _______the Paris Climate Agreement.

_______, big businesses have been taking climate change seriously for years now. Alongside energy-efficiency measures, the strongest evidence of their _______has been the number of new wind and solar projects that they have been helping to build around the world. IT firms such as Amazon and Google have been using clean energy to power their servers (服务器). Some environmentalists now believe that big businesses could become strong _______behind the worldwide spread of renewable energy. “There used to be little action,” says Marty Spitzer of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), “Now, I see fundamental _______being made.”

More recently, this enthusiasm for environmental protection has _______from corporate headquarters to branches and suppliers, and from developed countries to emerging markets. Take Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, for example. In March 2016, it said that it would require its own operations and those along its _______chain to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by one billion tons by 2030. This is _______to taking 211 million passenger cars off America’s roads for a year. The announcement was ________by the WWF and other conservation organizations, which are helping Walmart’s suppliers work towards this goal. Apple, maker of the iPhone, has said that seven of its biggest global manufacturers have promised to power their Apple-related ________with renewable energy by the end of this year.

According to the WWF, in the United States alone, nearly two dozen of the biggest firms have committed themselves to becoming 100 percent renewable in the near future. Hervé Touati of the Rocky Mountain Institute, a clean-energy research firm, explains the ________behind this trend. Going green improves the companies’ public image and helps attract customers, staff and investors.

Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s biggest brewer (啤酒公司), has lots of young people among its many ________. Many of them take environmental issues seriously. Electricity, used ________in the brewing process, amounts to a tenth of its total costs. Last year, the company set out to increase the role of renewables in generating ________to 100 percent by 2025. “My generation often takes energy and clean air for granted,” said Tony Milikin, the firm’s chief sustainability officer. “The generation coming up now looks at it totally differently.”

31、   We live in a heavily edited world. People in pictures are no longer people-they are perfect human beings whom we can only try, and_______, to live up to. And food in pictures is no longer food. It's_______, something to make you desire a lifestyle while_______you that you're not part of it.

But people are getting _______ and tired of such perfection, leading to something Pamela Grossman, a director at Getty Images, calls “perfection fatigue(疲劳)”. This new attitude is now _______ people to value something different: _______.

The pizza company Domino's, for example, is_______the trend by encouraging its customers to_______ unedited pictures of their pizzas on social media, as part of the nofilter(未过滤的) movement that’s become so popular on Instagram. This may mean oily boxes, _______ cheese and less-than-delicious-looking meat, but these________show what we're actually ________.

"It's________what it looks like when you really get a pizza."Dennis Maloney, chief digital officer of Domino's, told the website Fastcodesign. "It feels much more honest and transparent when the images are imperfect.”

Things are also changing with perfect human images. For example, US clothing company Gap, __________a "Dress Normal" campaign in 2014, ________simple clothes instead of smart suits like those of runway models.

"We spend so much time trying to________our shortcomings owing to the fact that our________has set it up that we have to be________ if we're not perfect," US filmmaker Cynthia Wade told The New York Times. "I think people are tired of it. They're suddenly much more willing to________the ugly or sarcastic."

But while it's probably true that we won't see a(n) ________to "perfect" pictures any time soon, at least some people are starting to see that it can actually be________to be imperfect, or to use the name of one of American singer Grace VanderWaal's albums, Perfectly Imperfect.

33、   Saddleworth Moor in the north of England is a bare place. It seemed almost wired to me, then, that anyone should _____ the building of seven wind turbines( 风力发电机) to produce clean, renewable energy. Surely this was the perfect place to situate them--- basically dull, unattractive to tourists and ----- _____ ---windy. Yet Saddleworth is becoming another battleground in an increasingly confusing _____ over wind farming and the future of the planet.

Typical of this confusion is hearing Professor David Bellamy _____ the fight against wind farms. I had always thought of Professor Bellamy as an environmentalist had made the _____ assumption that he would be a natural supporter of wind power. However, on reflection, Bellamy would be better described as a conservationist, whose main aim is to preserve natural habitats of plants and animals from destruction, rather than a(n) _____ on climate change. He has fought against other renewable energies that _____ wildlife and wildness, and has described the wind turbines as weapons of mass destruction killing birds and bats.

Bellamy, along with other opponents, has argued the wind farms are in fact _____, and are only commercially successfully because they are so heavily funded. This argument has been put forward by several newspaper commentators recently , who have then gone to _____ nuclear power. This doesn’t take into account years of _____ from Greens who claim that nuclear power is both expensive and dangerous. And yet nuclear energy has recently been _____ by a leading green scientist , Professor James Lovelock, who was one of the first to draw attention to the problem of climate change. He argues that renewable energy such as wind simply cannot provide sufficient electricity for our energy needs.

And so it goes on. There are so many _____ claims, each apparently fronted by some outstanding scientists and backed up by a lot of statics. So who’s actually right? What’s the right solution? What _____ me is that we will take so long in deciding that it will be too late. The damage will have been done. Yet what I also _____ is how convenient these conflicting arguments are. We can avoid making any changes to our personal lifestyles by just doing nothing. Global warming isn’t down to me going to Barcelona by air for the weekend or having a dishwasher or driving everywhere; no, it’s because those people in Saddleworth won’t let us build our _____!

【1】A.take over B.call for C.look into D.object to

【2】A.vice versa B.or rather C.above all D.to date

35、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.
