26、A letter to my children on their first day of school

Dear Olivia and Evan,

As I opened my eyes this morning, the realization that you will be starting a new school year at a new school today controlled my mind for a moment. As we went about our morning routine (例行事务), I thought of so many things I wanted to say to you.

As I quietly entered your room and softly kissed you awake—I wanted to tell you that I know what it’s like to be the new kid. I understand worrying about finding your way both physically and socially. You’ll spend a lifetime finding your way. 【1】

As I stood at the bathroom door while you brushed your teeth—I wanted to tell you to try not to look so nervous. 【2】 It is said a picture is worth a thousand words. I believe a smile is worth at least that much.

【3】—I wanted to tell you if at any moment today you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, just breathe. You’ll be surprised how a couple of deep breaths can help you see things in a whole new light.

As we got in the car—I wanted to tell you not everyone will have things in common with you. 【4】 They may pleasantly surprise you.

As I drove the few blocks to school—I wanted to tell you to listen when the teacher speaks, when someone new talks about themselves, etc. 【5】

As you got out of the car I gave you each a kiss and a hug and said — “Just be yourself, and remember how much I love you. I’ll be waiting to hear all about your experiences this afternoon.”

I realized that’s really all you needed to hear.

Love

Mom

A. Never give up.

B. As you went to bed

C. As you ate your breakfast

D. Accept the differences happily.

E. It’s good to take notes while listening in class.

F. Listening is one of those skills that will come in handy later in life.

G. The simple act of smiling can be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

27、Last weekend I made a journey from New York to London, with my daughter to see my mother. To my relief, the travel was far easier than I expected: the airports were empty, the plane was half-full and the airline staff kindly provided food and wine, which I drank greedily with a straw while wearing the required face mask. What I did not expect was to be hit with a culture shock on arrival in London.

In New York, face masks are now an inseparable part of life. Street signs declare “OUTSIDE WITH NO MASK? FORGET ABOUT IT!” Buildings carry more polite notices warning that anyone without a mask is banned. And even without them, almost everyone I see on the streets in my corner of Manhattan has their face covered. Strangers sometimes shout angrily at people who do not.

Indeed, there is such a strong sense of social pressure that in recent months I have worn a mask even when cycling alone, along Manhattan’s East river. And my daughter has taken to shopping online for “fashion masks”.

But not so in London. A new report issued by the Royal Society and the British Academy shows that, at the end of April, just 25 percent of Brits wore face masks in public places compared with 66 percent of Americans. We saw this for ourselves: in London, we appeared to be almost the only people wearing masks on the streets or in shops; even on public transport some seem to reject them.

Simon Roberts explains powerfully in a timely new book the Power of not Thinking. Habits matter deeply, but we rarely notice them — unless we travel. After a few days in London, I have started to “forget” my mask when I go outside. When I return to New York, I will have to relearn my habits all over again.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “culture shock” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?

A．The loss of culture.

B．Confusion and unfamiliarity.

C．The face mask.

D．A huge welcome.

【2】Which word best describes New Yorkers’ attitude towards mask wearing?

A．Serious.

B．Disapproving.

C．Annoyed.

D．Ambitious

【3】In terms of mask wearing, which is the difference between Londoners and New Yorkers?

A．Londoners think mask wearing is only necessary on public transport.

B．None of the Londoners likes the idea of mask wearing.

C．New Yorkers should wear masks even if alone.

D．New Yorkers would react strongly to people without masks.

【4】Why does the author mention the book the Power of not Thinking?

A．To stress the importance of realizing one’s habits with environmental changes.

B．To help people understand that each country has its own unique culture.

C．To encourage people to travel and explore the world.

D．To explain why there’s a culture shock.

28、He may be still young, but he may surprise you! If you ask around, many would say that the music world has a new leader—the real king is Jay Chou. As a child, Jay Chou was never too good at his subjects, and when he didn’t get into any college, a lot of people said that he won’t be very hopeful in life. His mum always worried about his future, but he never did. “I knew I still had music to depend on. For everything else, I always believe in myself, but it is for my musical talent that I’m so sure of myself,” he said. Growing up in a single-parent family, Jay lived a lonely childhood. Without many friends, he had a habit of day-dreaming, dreaming into his world of music.

So how did Jay get into music? At the age of three, he started learning to play the piano. His mother was very strict to make sure he practised hard. Later, he learned to play the cello (大提琴).

With all the musical talent, it isn’t surprising that Jay started out as a song writer. Since the age of sixteen, he has been writing songs for many of the most popular singers. Today, he has already written for some of the most popular Asian singers, including Coco Lee, Jacky Wu, etc.

It was only in 2000 that Jay put out his own album Jay. Jay’s soft and smooth voice is especially gentle and calm, making this first album an immediate hit. Each song in the album has its own, different style, and skillfully, Jay used his voice to suit each song’s character.

Lyrics of Jay’s songs all have a special touch. In his song Dad, I am Back, the subject is a broken family. “I heard that after war there is peace. Why do I always see my dad beating my mum? Since I was young, you told me to learn from you, use you as a model. So much pretense (借口). How do you expect me to be like you!”

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE about Jay Chou?

A．He didn’t do well at school.

B．He worried about his future at school.

C．His father died when Jay was young.

D．He had many friends around him.

【2】Jay Chou got into music .

A．after he learned to play the piano

B．at the age of sixteen

C．after he put out his first album

D．when he began to write songs

【3】The underlined word “touch” most probably means .

A．an act of touching

B．feeling by touching

C．style or manner in art

D．communication

【4】What do you know about the song Dad, I am Back?

A．It’s about Jay’s own family.

B．It’s about a war which the father took part in.

C．It’s about a man who has a son back from a war.

D．It’s about a son’s demand for peace in the family.

29、Marigi worked deep in a forest in Nigeria, a country on the western coast of Africa. He is a logger who cuts down trees using a knife. The forest where he worked is in the Ondo State in Southwest Nigeria. But many trees in that forest have been lost to too much logging.

The 61-year-old father of two said that he could cut down over 15 trees anywhere in the forest,but he would be lucky to find only two now.“During the time of my father, we had big trees but sadly what we have now are just small trees and we don’t even allow them to grow tall enough before we cut them,” Marigi said.

After cutting down the trees, Marigi puts markers on them to let other loggers know that he is the owner. The cut-down trees, or logs, are then transported(运输)by waterways and rivers to Nigeria’s biggest city, Lagos.

Trees in Nigeria are cut down to open land for farming or to feed the energy need of a growing population. From 2001 to 2021, Nigeria has lost 1. 14 million hectares of tree cover.

Months after cutting down the trees, Marigi returned to the forest to tie his 40 logs together so they could be transported. With other loggers, he paid for a boat to pull the logs through waterways from Ondo State to Lagos.

They built simple houses on top of the logs to help protect themselves from the weather. Food was shared and they sang traditional songs to cheer themselves up. They did not sleep at night to make sure that the logs would not get away from the boat. The boat stopped at several places to pickup more loggers and their logs. A single boat can transport thousands of such logs.

Marigi’s trip ended in Lagos where logs from Ondo State and other parts of the country came together. The logs were then cut and sold to users.

【1】What can we learn about his father according to Marigi?

A．He took good care of the forest.

B．He could cut down trees for free.

C．He left small trees to later generations.

D．He had plenty of big trees to cut.

【2】How does Marigi show the ownership of the trees he cut down?

B．By making signs on them.

C．By putting them near waterways.

D．By living on top of them.

【3】Why did Marigi go back into the forest?

B．To plant small trees.

C．To look for big trees.

D．To open land for farming.
