26、   A foreign teacher from the UK has spent much time doing charity work, including years of visiting veterans and funding impoverished students in Changde, Central China's Hunan province.

James is from Bristol, UK. He has worked as a foreign teacher at Hunan University of Arts and Science for eight years and is recognized as a "legendary" foreign teacher by students. Since he was a child, he felt like he had a connection with China. And now he's been working on "serving the people wholeheartedly".

James is concerned with a group of veterans who fought in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression(1937—1945). He worked as a volunteer in Changde's local aid center for those veterans for over six years. He often goes together with other volunteers to distant villages to visit veterans. “Charity is a civic duty. Veterans shouldn't be neglected. Society should and must help them. It's our duty.” James said.

In September 2014, James won Hunan's seventh Xiaoxiang Friendship Award, an award granted by the People's Government of Hunan province to foreigners having made contributions to Hunan in certain sectors.

James is applying for a Chinese green card. He hopes to be able to become rooted in China and achieve his Chinese dream step by step.

【1】Why is James concerned with veterans?

A．Because he thinks it's a civic duty to help veterans.

B．Because he thinks it's a rule to help veterans.

C．Because he thinks it's a good habit to help veterans.

D．Because he thinks it's a good deed to help veterans.

【2】What do we know about Xiaoxiang Friendship Award?

A．It's an award to someone who has made a significant contribution to China.

B．It's an award to someone who has made a significant contribution to Hunan.

C．It's an award to foreigners who have made a significant contribution to China.

D．It's an award to foreigners who have made a significant contribution to Hunan.

【3】What does the underlined word “veterans” in paragraph I refer to?

A．Teachers.

B．Officials.

C．Soldiers.

D．Professors.

【4】What can we infer about James' future from the text?

A．He will leave China soon.

B．He will live in China forever.

C．He will go back to his motherland.

D．He will leave Hunan in the near future.

27、   The home of the future won't be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today. But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams. No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy "house kits" containing a basic house structure, with movable walls, doors and windows. They will put together the different parts to create the home they want.

Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won't disappear because machines can't replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more from home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today.

Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won't be for everyone because they won't be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century, there will be holiday centers on the moon with leisure facilities for families.

Paper won't exist in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper.

The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear sometime in the future. This isn't going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes (爆炸). We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet. There won't be any other choice.

B.if we want to save the human race

C.when the earth explodes

D.when the earth is too crowded to live on

28、Ai-Petri Bridges, Crimea

The views of the Crimean coast from the top of 1,234-metre high Ai-Petri Mount are amazing. The hanging bridges built in recent years can reach the top of the mount. If just walking across the bridges is not dangerous enough, it also happens to be one of the windiest places in the world. It is said that the bridges blow from side to side as wind speeds reach 170 kilometres per hour for 125 days of the year. It’s also very foggy, so you may not be able to see clearly!

U Bein Bridge, Myanmar

This five-metre-high, 1.2-kilometre wooden footbridge does not look as dangerous as the others, but do not be fooled. It was built in the 1850s and it’s certainly feeling its age! Some of the old wood is not as strong as it used to be. It is easy to lose your footing. Although there is no handrail (栏杆), large numbers of tourists cross it every day. When the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset, this bridge could become the most dangerous of them all!

The Trift Bridge, Switzerland

At 100 metres high and 170 metres long, this is one of the highest bridges in the world. Built in 2004, the bridge is hidden among the high Swiss Alps. You wouldn’t have wanted to walk across the bridge before its repair in 2009. But if you have the courage to cross this bridge, you’d better do it quickly!

The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan

In the mountainous area of Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge helps travelers cross the Borit Lake. However, you will not feel too confident when you get close to this bridge. It’s one of the oldest bridges in Pakistan and many locals use it every day to travel to work and school — imagine losing your homework over the side of this bridge! It’s made from rope, with a few pieces of wood that have large gaps (空隙) between them. Step carefully!

【1】What can we learn about U Bein Bridge?

A．It’s very popular at sunset.

B．It’s safest for people to cross.

C．It’s the oldest bridge in the world.

D．It’s made from rope without handrails.

【2】One may not enjoy the views clearly on ________.

A．U Bein Bridge

B．Ai-Petri Bridges

C．The Trift Bridge

D．The Hussaini Hanging Bridge

【3】What do the bridges mentioned in the text have in common?

A．All require serious repair.

B．All top highest in their country.

C．All have a history of one century.

D．All require plenty of courage to cross.

29、How to Quiet the Complainer

You may want to know why people complain. In fact, even the kindest, most considerate people complain. And complaining doesn’t always have a negative impact. 【1】. However, the problems start when complaining becomes a frequent action. So, how to quiet a complaining considering your health and his?

Change the subject.

Some complainers will switch the topic if you change the conversation in a direction that interests them. If your neighbor is complaining about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend. 【2】.

Summarize the complaint.

If your complainer keeps repeating himself, ask something like, “Can I tell you that I’ve heard and gotten it?” Using “I” statements (“I’ve heard ...”) rather than “you” statements (“You keep repeating yourself”) shows that you’re interested rather than trying to shut the person down.

【3】.

When a frequent complainer tells you about her latest problem, ask nicely what she’s done to improve it. This isn’t the usual direction a grievance-laden conversation takes, and it may help to abruptly end a rant.

Be honest.

【4】, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short. You can simply be honest, saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t bring you down—especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before.

Have a heart-to-heart.

If someone very close to you, like your partner or best friend stresses you out with loads of pessimism. 【5】. Otherwise, if you hide your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints, you may start avoiding the person.

A．Focus on the effect.

B．Challenge the person to act.

C．When you have things to do

D．Avoid saying the word complaining.

E．It’s important to talk about the problem.

F．Sometimes a complaint changes an unfavorable situation into a more desirable one.

G．If your coworker is saying bad words about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee.
