26、   On a recent trip to London, I decided to visit some exciting new restaurants that are using technology to change the way people dine out. My first stop was at an Italian restaurant in the city center. When I walked into the restaurant, I was given a tray(托盘)and a special card, but I had no idea what to do next! The manager came up to me and explained that I could swipe (刷) my card at any of the food and drink stations in the restaurant, and that the card would record my order. No waiters necessary! I made my selection and then handed my card to the cashier. Once I’d paid for my meal, I collected it and made my way to the dining area on the second floor. The food was very delicious, but, I must admit, I didn’t enjoy having to carry my food up two flights of stairs.

On the next night, a friend of mine suggested that we visit his favorite high-tech restaurant. When we arrived, I was surprised to discover that there were no paper menus; instead, the menus appeared on the touch screen surface of the table. All we had to do was touch our choices with our fingers and wait for the waiters to bring us our meal. The touch screen tabletop also allowed us to change different tablecloths and even play games. We had so much fun playing games that we hardly touched our food when it arrived--we really should have told the waiter to give us takeaways instead.

On my last day in London, I decided to get some tapas from a Spanish takeaway near my hotel. I had heard that the owners had placed a webcam(网络摄像机) at the restaurant to allow their customers to watch the long lunchtime queue(队列) online. This came in very handy for me. While I packed my baggage, I kept an eye on the queue and then raced to the restaurant when the lunchtime rush was over. Without that wonderful webcam, I could have missed my plane.

【1】What’s so special about the first restaurant?

A. It has no dining-table. B. It offers a takeaway service.

C. It is a self-service restaurant. D. It serves inexpensive local food.

【2】What part of the second restaurant made a deep impression on the author?

A. Its delicious food. B. Its high-tech tables.

C. Its game machines. D. Its colourful tablecloths.

【3】What does the underlined word "handy" in the last paragraph mean?

A. Easy B. Useful

C. Special D. Surprising

【4】How does the author mainly develop this text?

A. By giving instructions B. By making comparisons.

C. By following the order of time D. By following the order of importance

27、   This year I’m buying presents for 16 children, as well as my own daughter, Mia-Grace, who will be two on Christmas Day. My tree will be beautifully decorated, I’m bringing the turkey to the family Christmas lunch and having an open house activity on Boxing Day. And the whole thing’s only going to cost me £150.

I’ve been careful with money since I was a teenager, for I came from a poor family with many children. I had to drop out of high school to earn money to support myself. I remember well that I went a bit mad back then when I got my first credit card and my parents had to leave me from home and cared little for me from then, which taught me a real lesson.

We’re very careful now and we don’t overspend or owe anything on credit cards. I work for an electrician and my husband Neil, 33, works in the construction business. We’re concerned about our jobs because our companies are quiet at the moment.

We’ve also been hit by rising prices, particularly food, petrol, gas and electricity. Everyone I know is worried. One of my friends’ husbands has just gone self-employed and if he doesn’t work, they have no money coming in.

Christmas has been playing on my mind for the past three or four months. We decided on a budget of £150 because that’s just under my weekly wage and it meant we could afford Christmas while using Neil’s salary for our essential bills.

We quickly realized that we buy some things every year just for the sake of it. Even though we have lots of decorations already, we usually buy something new for the tree but this Christmas we’re not going to. We’ve already got our tree – a big man-made one which I bought half-price in the January sales. It will last us for years.

After all, no one can escape from this financial crisis which is spreading throughout the globe.

【1】We can infer that Boxing Day most probably falls on ______.

A. January 20 B. May 5

C. October 24 D. December 26

【2】Which of the following is TRUE about the author according to this passage?

A. She has bought Christmas presents for 16 children in total.

B. She has bought a man-made Christmas tree at a low price.

C. Both the author and her husband are already out of work now.

D. She would like to buy a new Christmas tree for this Christmas.

【3】The second and third paragraphs mainly tell us ______ .

A. why the author has been very careful with money

B. how she finished her education of high school

C. where she earned her first money in her teens

D. when she left home and got married to her husband

【4】We can conclude from this passage ______.

A. the author often quarrels with her husband about their little earnings

B. nobody but the author was worried about the rising prices

C. the author has never been worried about losing jobs

D. the author and those around her are suffering from the financial crisis

28、   New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.

In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16, 000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non­smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7, 000 genes of smokers had changed—a number that is one­third of known human genes.

According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day­to­day lives while doing things like smoking.

When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years. This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years. It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) — it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.

Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side:the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.

【1】The function of Paragraph 1 is to ______.

A. give an example

B. arouse readers’ interest

C. make an argument

D. give the main idea of the passage

【2】Most genetic changes happen because of _______.

A. people’s condition at birth B. environmental pollution

C. people’s bad living habits D. heart disease and cancer

【3】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to _______.

A. the cement B. the footprint

C. the harmful effects D. the genetic change

【4】Which of the following statements is true？

A. The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.

B. The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking.

C. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.

D. The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.

29、Whenever we talk about holidays, my mother teases my sister and me about how we “make out like robbers.” She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the. festivals of lights. Hanukkah and Diwali. Though my mother teases us, I do not mind getting two sets of gifts!

Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month. which is usually sometime in December. On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families. we light a menorah and say a prayer each night. We also say a special prayer on the first night. After that, it is a tradition for my sister and me to do ‘hot and cold’, for our hidden Hanukkah gifts. When we walk towards the gift, our parents say ‘hot’ and when we walk further away, they say ‘cold’. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah. Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually stays for a few days, and we sometimes visit other relatives.

Diwali is celebrated on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin(October / November). To celebrate Diwali, my family does a pooja, or prayers, in honor of the goddess Lakshmi. Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity, the pooja includes washing silver coins in milk and water. In India, people decorate their houses with lamps, similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas. My family just places a few candles outside We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement.

Both holidays have different histories and stories We celebrate them in different ways, yet they both have the same meaning. They both translate into. Festival of Lights, and they both mean family and presents for me!

【1】Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali?

A．Because he lives in a rich family.

B．Because he lives in two different countries.

C．Because his parents like celebrating their different cultures.

D．Because his parents like spending money buying gifts for them.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “hot and cold” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．A kind of Hanukkah game.

B．A kind of Hanukkah gift.

C．A can of festival drink.

D．A riddle written on lights.

【3】we can learn from the text that Hanukkah and Diwali .

A．share the same history and culture

B．are celebrated by both Jews and Indians

C．are both related to the legend of lights

D．encourage the families to do their prayers

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards Hanukkah and Diwali?

A．She enjoys celebrating both of them.

B．She does mind spending them.

C．She likes Hanukkah better.

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

“Life of Pi” is narrated by an older Pi and takes place in the present as he tells his life story to a writer. Pi begins with how he got his name and how his family owned a zoo, but eventually leads into his family needing to leave India for financial 【1】. The heart of the story lies in Pi as a young man and the time he spent out at sea on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker, but getting to that point is quite an ordeal（苦难考验）. Pi loses everything and everyone close to him in the blink of an eye and he doesn’t 【2】 on making what feels like an unbreakable bond with a Bengal tiger.

The 【3】 film offers a rather marvelous message about religion as Pi discusses the experimentation with several different religions as a young boy. Even though it seems kind of silly that a boy has 【4】 so many religions at one point in his life, it portrays a/an 【5】 message in a light that doesn’t seem too preachy（说教的）. But the religious aspect is really only a backdrop for being on your own 【6】 to finding who you really are. Feeling so alone for so long and having Pi talk about not being alone and not getting to say goodbye to those he cared about most is one of those things that just hits you really hard.

While witnessing Pi attempt to tame Richard Parker is really 【7】, there are so many unbelievable sights to witness in “Life of Pi”. There’s the whale, the jellyfish, the flying fish, that 【8】 storm, and that seaweed island with all of the meerkats (a kind of monkey). “Life of Pi” never really lets up on being 【9】 breathtaking and amazing from beginning to end.

“Life of Pi” is pleasantly satisfying. With a heartfelt message, beautiful visuals, and stunning camera work. “Life of Pi” is truly a sight to behold and illustrates how 【10】 3D can be to a film that isn’t just a summer hit or blockbuster.
