27、   A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, D.C.. Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. In a natural response, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”

In an instant, I realized what I had done. I judged another person simply for what I considered she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. This incident re-awakened my belief in humility (谦逊), even though I’d lost it for a moment.

The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant (移民). I left Honduras and arrived in the U.S. at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, serious-minded mother. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and finally I became a network engineer.

In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice (偏见). I remember a time, at age 17 — I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. I have also witnessed the same treatment of my family and friends, so I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.

But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets of Washington, D.C., cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open. By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. And in writing this essay, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.

【1】We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ________.

A.the blind woman needed the money badly

B.the author thought what he did to the woman was wrong

C.the author was as poor as the blind woman

D.The blind woman was annoyed with the author

【2】According to Paragraph 4, hearing the father’s words, the author was probably________.

A.rather hurt B.very excited C.deeply moved D.greatly attracted

【3】According to the passage, the author probably agrees that one should ________.

A.be nice to the elderly and the disabled

B.treat others equally with love and respect

C.try to experience different kinds of life

D.reflect on one’s past as often as possible

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.Learn from your Past B.How my American Dream Comes True

C.The Elderly Need Respect D.A Valuable Lesson in the Street

28、With greater climate catastrophe (气候突变) on Earth, it is natural for us to make every effort to stop the potential floods, snowstorms, and alarming reports from scientists. For many of us (myself included), part of that means running out to buy reusable straws, organic cleaners, and packaging-free products.

However, before you rejoice in “green” purchases, take a second to consider the results of a new study from Arizona University. By comparing the shopping habits, mental health and environmental impact of young people, the researchers reaffirmed a principle: Buying less beats buying “green” stuff without effort. And that is true whether you are looking at the impact that your purchases have on the Earth or on your own happiness.

It should not come as a shock that simply consuming less is better for the planet. After all, every new item a factory yields requires some resources to produce. Take plastic bag bans for instance. If your city is getting rid of single-use shopping bags, it can be tempting to pay for a fashionable organic cotton bag hanging in the check-out line of your local supermarket. However, experts insist that growing cotton is actually no better for the Earth than producing the conventional plastic bags. Your best bet for carrying your groceries if you care about sustainability? Any bag you already own. This is true of many kinds of “green” products.

It is not just the Earth that will be happier if you buy less. You will feel more contented too, according to the new study. “People believe that they might well be self-satisfied about becoming environmentally conscious through green buying patterns, but it doesn't seem to be that way”, said the lead researcher Sabrina Helm. “Reduced consumption has effects on increased well-being and decreased psychological distress, but we don't see that with green consumption.”

“Owning every new green product on the market might make you feel contented, but if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better,” said Helm.

【1】Why does the writer mention green shopping habits?

A．To call on a green lifestyle.

B．To praise people's green efforts.

C．To introduce a social trend.

D．To present a half true “green truth”.

【2】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A．The plastic bag bans are of no effect.

B．Using any bag you have is the best bet.

C．Reduced consumption is better for the Earth.

D．Growing cotton is actually far worse for the Earth.

【3】What does the underlined “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．The sense of achievement.

B．The sense of happiness.

C．Psychological pressure.

D．Environmental awareness.

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A．Less is More

B．The Greener, The Happier

C．Happiness Guarantee

D．What Are Really Green Products?

29、In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.

The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.

Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly. Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool.

However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.

【1】Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?

A. Blue, violet B. Yellow, green

C. Black, blue.   D. Brown, white

【2】Which of the following statements is not true?

A. Sociable people like warm colors.

B. Warm colors can make people excited.

C. People who like to be with others don’t like red.

D. Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.

【3】Which is the right color for different rooms?

A. Red or orange for offices.

B. Orange for dining rooms.

C. Blue for bedrooms.

D. Red for studies

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Two groups of colours   B. Cool colours

C. Warm colours D. Colours and people
