26、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

  The greatest contribution to civilization in the century may well be the air-conditioning- and American leads just as amazing is the speed with which this situation came to be. Air-conditioning began to spread in industries as a production aid during World War Ⅱ. Today most Americans need to take air-conditioning for granted to homes, offices, factories, theatres, shops, studios, schools, hotels, and restaurants, and we can see it almost everywhere in today’s America.

  But not everybody is aware that high cost and easy comfort are merely two of the effects of the vast cooling of American. In fact, air conditioning has substantially altered the country’s character and customs.

  Many of the byproducts are so conspicuous（显而易见的） that they are scarcely noticed. To begin with, air-conditioning transformed the face of America by making possible those glassy, boxy, sealed-in skyscrapers. It has been indispensable, no less, to the functioning of sensitive advanced computers, whose high operating temperatures require that they be constantly cooled. . .

  It has, at will, forced families into going back into families with closed doors and shut windows to improve the effects of the air-conditioning, reducing the interactions of neighborhood life. I think there is no need explaining the seriousness of this consequence（后果）. It is really surprising that the public’s often noted withdrawal into self-pursuit and privacy has kept in pace with the historic spread of air-conditioning. Though science has little studied how habitual air-conditioning affects mind and body, some medical experts suggest that, like other technical avoidance of natural changes in climate, air-conditioning may damage the human capacity to adapt to stress. If so, air-conditioning is only like many other greatly useful technical developments that liberate（解放） man from nature by increasing his productivity and power in some way - while indirectly weakening him in others.

【1】According to this passage, which of the following played a role in the forming of the unique character of U.S.?

A. Its advanced computerized civilization.

B. Its excessive use of air-conditioning.

C. Its public’s retreating into self-pursuit.

D. Its greatest contribution to human civilization.

【2】 According to the author, the chief consequence brought about by the wide application of air-conditioning is ____.

A. the loss of human capacity to adapt to changes in climate

B. the reduction of social communications of neighborhood life

C. the active life style of all its users

D. the decreased human production and power

【3】The tone of this passage reveals that air-conditioning ____.

A. has little effect on its users

B. has more effect on body than on mind

C. brings only damage to its users

D. does harm as well as good to its users

【4】What is the author’s overall attitude towards air-conditioning?

A. Neutral  B. Objective  C. Critical  D. Compromising

27、Baron Pierre de Coubertin was a Frenchman. At his time sports were not taught in French schools. De Coubertin believed that sports should go hand in hand with studies. He had an idea. His idea was to begin the Olympics all over again.

Sports teachers of other countries liked De Coubertin ideas. So in 1896, the modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece. Since then the Olympics have been held once every four years, except three times, when there were wars.

The modern Olympic games have many foot races and field sports programs. The longest race in the games is called marathon.

Before the start of the Olympic Games, runners carry lighted torch( 火炬 ) through many nations towards the stadium where the games will be held. These sportsmen are from different countries. Yet they work together to carry the Olympic torch. It is passed from runner to runner, When the last runner enters the stadium, he or she places the torch in a special basin filled with oil. It catches fire. It is then, only then, that the Olympic Games can begin.

The Olympic flame burns throughout the games. It is the flame of peace.

【1】Before 1896 French schools didn't teach ______.

A．match

B．history

C．sports

D．physics

【2】Where were the first Olympic Games held?

A．In Athens,Greece

B．In German

C．In French

D．In Russia

【3】According to this passage, the third modern Olympic Games should have been held in ______.

A．1896

28、Quite often we get so caught up in day-to-day activities that we spare little time to think about and develop little positive habits that could make the difference between having an okay day and a positive day. Here are some simple ways to help you develop positive habits.

● Start the day with positive mind.

Upon getting up, promise yourself that you will face the day with a positive mind. 【1】 You are willing to deal with any troubles you’re faced with.

● Smile at someone.

When you walk through the office, down the street or are in a store, make it a point to smile at someone. 【2】 We’re usually so caught up in activities that we don’t take time to notice those around us.

● Be a better listener.

Spend time listening to another’s point of view.【3】 In this case, try putting yourself in his/her place and understand where his/her opinions come from.

●Take some quiet time.

Give yourself a break. You need the time to regroup. Even a little 15- minute catnap (假寐)can be surprisingly refreshing. 【4】

● 【5】

Do something nice to make others happy every day. For example, help an elderly person lift or carry a heavy bag. Clear the table after a meal if it’s not your normal practice. Offer to take your neighbor’s kids to the park, or the show, along with yours.

A．Perform a small act of kindness.

B．Smiling will make you both feel good

C．Ask advice from your family and friends.

D．You’ll wake up feeling like you can take on anything!

E．Sometimes you might not agree with what he/she is saying.

F．The same goes for bad habits like smoking or drinking too much.

G．Prepare yourself for the fact that everything will probably not go as planned.

29、You don’t need to travel long distances to find pleasure in nature

The Greek historian Herodotus is said to have made one of the earliest lists of seven wonders of the world. These were man-made structures, including the still mysterious feat of ancient horticulture known as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. More recent times saw natural alternatives to these marvels of classical architecture proposed: waterfalls, mountains, canyons, reefs. 【1】

As environmental consciousness has risen in the west, attitudes to such sightseeing have changed. Yes, it is thrilling to visit remote forests or spot rare species. But travelling to far-flung destinations is carbon-intensive when flights or long road journeys are involved, and conservation can be made more difficult as well as assisted by sightseers. There is a balance to be struck, and ethical governments and businesses around the world try to maximize the benefits while minimizing the harms. 【2】

Most of us, in the rich countries where people take most holidays, understand better than ever that there are costs as well as benefits associated with exploring. One of the six pledges proposed by an environmental campaign launched last month, The Jump, is to “holiday local”, taking short-haul flights once every three years and long-haul flights very rarely. Fortunately, the UK’s 15 national parks, 86 areas of outstanding natural beauty （known in Scotland as national scenic areas）, and countless other landscapes that are without formal status, but beloved nonetheless, mean that there is no shortage of special places for domestic nature tourists to visit—while a host of European beauty spots are accessible by rail.

One recent survey found that Windsor Great Park and Kew have become Britain’s most popular attractions, while Covid has created difficulties for indoor spaces which do not apply to outdoor ones. 【3】 Some companies that formerly ran foreign trips have adapted to the pandemic by taking people to watch dolphins and other marine life off British coasts instead.

【4】 Sewage outflows are out of control due to failed water industry regulation. The owners of a popular rewilded estate in West Sussex—Knepp—have warned that plans to build 3,500 homes next to their land would be catastrophic for the species that live there. But as we confront an environmental emergency that grows ever more dangerous, it is essential to cultivate appreciation for the nature that surrounds us. In a small way, holiday outings to watch dragonflies, kingfishers or seals, or be surrounded by trees that are coming into leaf, could help us to focus on what matters.

A．Colombia, for example, recently introduced laws aimed at promoting sustainable tourism.

B．Visitor numbers at wildlife trusts are high, with waiting lists for beaver-spotting.

C．Travelling, especially air travel, is a luxury that is bad for the environment.

D．Dramatic landscapes, features and wildlife, and the pleasure and excitement they offer to visitors, are staples of tourism.

E．Today, the tourism sector has become one of the great economic engines in many countries, forming part of the international political agenda.

F．This is not to minimize the destruction of nature that is also taking place.
