26、There’s a man in the habit of hitting me on the head with an umbrella. At first I couldn’t stand it, now I’m used to it.

I don’t know his name. I know he’s average in appearance, wears a gray suit, and has a common face. I met him five years ago one hot morning when I was sitting on a tree-shaded bench in Palermo Park, reading the paper. Suddenly I felt something touch my head. It was the very same man who now, as I’m writing, keeps hitting me, mechanically (机械地) and impassively, with an umbrella.

On that occasion I turned around filled with anger. He just kept on hitting me. I asked him if he was crazy, he didn’t even seem to hear me. Then I threatened to call a policeman. Calmly, cool as a cucumber, he stuck with his task. After a few moments of hesitation, and seeing that he was not about to change his attitude, I stood up and hit him on the nose. The man fell down, but he immediately got back on his feet, obviously with great effort, and without a word again began hitting me on the head with the umbrella. His nose was bleeding and, at that moment, I felt sorry for him. I felt regret for having hit him so hard. After all, the man wasn’t exactly hitting me; he was merely tapping me lightly with his umbrella, not causing any pain at all. Of course, those taps were extremely bothersome. As we all know, when a fly lands on your forehead, you don’t feel any pain; what you feel is annoyance. Well then, that umbrella was one huge fly that kept landing on my head time after time.

Convinced that I was dealing with a madman, I tried to escape. But the man followed me, wordlessly continuing to hit me. So I began to run (I should point out that not many people run as fast as I do). He took off after me, trying to land a blow. The man was out of breath so that I thought, if I continued to force him to run at that speed, he would drop dead right then and there.

【1】When the man began to strike the author with an umbrella, the author ________.

A. became angry

B. called the police

C. turned around and escaped

D. turned around and fought back

【2】The author would most probably agree that the man was ________.

A. deaf B. blind C. dead D. mad

【3】The author felt sorry for the man because ________.

A. the man formed a bad habit of beating others

B. he hit the man so hard that his nose bled

C. the man couldn’t catch up with him

D. there was a fly on the man’s head

【4】It can be learned from the passage that the man ________.

A. shouted loudly while hitting the author

B. wanted to tell the author something

C. ran after the author breathlessly

D. acted as if he were a fly

27、   Can you imagine being able to remember every single experience of your life and every word in your favorite book? That’s what Becky’s life is like.

Three years ago, Becky was reading a newspaper article which mentioned that it was impossible for people to remember the details of their life in the first three years.“What nonsense!” she thought, because she could clearly remember her life all the way back to when she was just 12 days old. Her parents had carried her to the driver’s seat of their car and laid her down for a photo. But it wasn’t nonsense. She was just one of only 80 known people suffering from a mysterious condition called HSAM（超忆症）.

Becky’s unusual case was shown on a program called 60 Minutes, where reporter Allison tested her ability by asking her about her favorite book series, Harry Potter, Allison would pick up a book and open a page and read her a line. Immediately Becky would name the book, chapter number, chapter name and could recite every word until Allison told her to stop.

Being able to remember every little detail is great, but as every HSAM suffer will tell you, it’s also tough to deal with it. We always forget things to get over sad experiences in our lives, but it’s something that people like Becky can’t do. Even walking on the street and lightly knocking into somebody can bring back bad memories from Becky’s childhood. Also, like Becky, people with HSAM never do well in school, because they have problems picking up the important information from what they've  learnt.

Becky’s great brain could help scientists find a cure for terrible mental illnesses like Alzheimer’s.(老年痴呆症) Her condition could hold the secret to treating or even preventing Alzheimer’s.

【1】Why was Becky asked questions on 60 minutes?

A. To help treat her illness.

B. To advertise Harry Potter.

C. To test her ability to remember.

D. To encourage other kids to read.

【2】To Becky, forgetting painful experiences of her life is .

A. a heavy burden B. a happy thing

C. a great ability D. a big chance

【3】Why does Becky do poorly in her school work?

A. She is always absent—minded in class.

B. She feels sad every time she begins to study.

C. She can't understand the teacher in class.

D. She remembers too much  information and can't tell which is important.

【4】What does the author want to say in the last paragraph?

A. There is a cure for Becky's illness.

B. Scientists have found a cure for Alzheimer’s.

C. Becky will suffer from another mental illness.

D. Becky’s case is helpful for scientists to treat Alzheimer’s.

28、The old Chinese saying "as happy as spending the New Year" might be outdated now in the busy modern world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.

Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the sputtering(爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security, noise and pollution factors into consideration.

"In recent years, some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival, surrendering to(屈从于) public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion," said Zhou Xing, a folklore researcher.

"As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy," said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.

"I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper cuttings. On New Year’s Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us," said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.

【1】Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?

A．Setting off fireworks has been forbidden in some big cities for years.

B．Nowadays, people can light fireworks in some cities at the Spring Festival.

C．People believe that the sound of fireworks can drive away evil spirits.

D．In the past, setting off fireworks couldn’t be seen almost anywhere.

【2】What Li Shunzhi said implies 　　　　.

A．what people do during the festival now is different from the past

B．people would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve

C．people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a rest

D．the New Year holiday is just like any other day

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival.

B．Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family.

C．Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival.

D．Zhang Hui lives in the urban area.

【4】What does the whole passage show?

A．The Spring Festival is as lively as before.

B．The Spring Festival is outdated now.

C．The Spring Festival is losing its qualities.

D．The Spring Festival in China is more important than Christmas in the West.

29、   Last year, I decided to study in Thailand.I had planned to study an English-language master's program in America, but after comparing the expense, I changed my mind.

The  low  cost was one of the biggest advantages of studying in Thailand.   Base   tuition (学费）for the program added up to $10,000, including a five-day study   trip   in China, two two-day trips for conferences and meeting and one field trip.I was fortunate to earn a scholarship that reduced my final bill to $7，200.Most other English-language master  programs in Thailand cost between $6,000 and 10,000 per year.

I lived in a small studio apartment with free Wi-Fi for a total of around $167 per month, including water, electricity and limited cable TV.Meals at the university canteen，on the street or at small food shops cost between $1.00 and $1.50 , or between $1.50 and $2.00 at small food courts.With cheap and delicious food always easy to find, you didn't need to worry about cooking unless you wanted.

Entertainment was also quite, cheap.A 330ml bottle of heer at a bar went for between $2.00 and $4.00, or between $1.00 and $1.50 from a Family Mart.A movie ticket was between $3.00 and S5.00.I stayed quite busy with study and didn't spend much, so I could get by on about $700 per month.Of course, it's possible to pick up a part-time teaching job to help reduce pressure brought by a lack (缺乏）of money, but you need to arrange a work visa (签证）with your employer.

It was a bright summer’s day. The weather was pleasant, but the wind from the Sahara desert made it extremely hot and wet. A ship stopped off the coast of Africa. The seagulls were circling overhead and crying loudly. In the distance, several dolphins were jumping out of the water at times to create a big white wave.

Just before sunset, the captain came on deck and called out, “Time for a swim.”

Immediately sailors jumped into the water, lowered a canvas mat (帆布垫子) and made it into a swimming pool. They had been waiting for this moment the whole day.

There were two young boys on the ship. They both jumped in, but swam out into the open sea since it was too crowded inside the “pool”. They played and chased (追逐) each other in the open sea. Their fathers cheered them on, often urging one of the boys to prove his bravery over the other.

Suddenly, something gray from a distance was coming closer and closer. Somebody from the deck called out, “Shark! Shark!” The fin was moving faster. Confusion and panic arose, and everyone climbed to safety. Everyone, except the two boys. They had not heard the shouts.

The shark was moving towards the boys.

The captain shouted, “Come back my boys! There is a shark out there!” One of the boys was his son. For the first time in his life, he didn’t know what to do. He could not think clearly. The captain’s face became as white as a sheet. He could feel his legs were shaking so badly that he nearly fell to the ground.

The people on the deck screamed wildly. But the boys could not hear them. They continued to play and to swim, unaware of the danger approaching them fast. Some sailors lowered a boat, jumped into it and attempted to row towards the boys.

Para 1: Just then, one of the boys looked back and saw the large animal he knew too well.

Para 2: Their screams brought the captain back to his senses.
