1、 Here is the introduction of the smallest library in the world.
The Little Free Library has first appeared on the streets of New York City. It is so small that only one person can come in at a time. It was set up in a neighborhood in Manhattan. There are only 40 books in the library. In fact, it is not a house but a plastic building. Two designers designed it. The library was made of recycled materials. It looks like an umbrella so that all the books in it can be protected from bad weather. Readers can look at the books before they go into the library because there are also some holes outside the building.

26、What do you remember about the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games (北京 2022 年冬奥会和冬残奥会)? Maybe the mascots (吉祥物) Bing Dwen Dwen and Shuey Rhon Rhon. And what do the volunteers (志愿者) and players from different countries remember about the Games?
“Welcome to China!”
These words from a volunteer Sun Zeyu warmed the US snowboarder (单板滑雪运动员) Tessa Maud at the Olympics opening ceremony (开幕式). “The volunteers like Sun who had said ‘Welcome to China’ really just makes me cry every time because they are so nice. We feel so welcomed,” said Maud in the video.
Sun, a junior student from Tsinghua University, is an example of how Gen Z (people born between 1995 and 2010) helped players at the Beijing Winter Games. They did many things in their own ways to make them feel at home — they helped to not make them get lost, told them what they should do in their language and took them to different places on time.
Many Gen Z players told their friends about China travels on social media (社交平台) and some became lovers of Chinese food. One of them is Maud, and she shared what she ate every day on TikTok—fried rice, Kung Pao chicken and Peking duck. What to eat each day was difficult for her. “Everything is so delicious,” she said. Jenise Spiteri, another Gen Z player, is also a snowboarder from Malta. She became known as the “red bean bread girl” in China after she took a big bite (咬) while waiting for her grades. “Goodbye to the great workers who made food for us every day,” she wrote on social media when she left the Olympic Village.
【1】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph Three refer to (指代)?
A.The volunteers.
B.The players.
C.“Welcome to China!”
D.The mascots.
【2】Who can be called Gen Z?

B.A child.
C.A teenager.
D.An old man.
【3】How did the volunteers help players in their ways?
A.Asked them to visit their homes.
B.Bought food and fruits for them.
C.Wrote something on social media.
D.Took them to places on time.
27、 As one of the world’s top universities, Oxford attracts students from around the world. Besides needing a perfect academic record. students have to go through a rigorous ( 严 格 的 ) interview process, sometimes across days.
If you’re preparing for studying overseas, here’s our advice for putting your best foot forward.
Questions
You might have heard about the strange questions you might face, such as why are ladybirds red? These questions are not as random (随意的) as they seem and are often related to your course or interests. In truth, there is no wrong way to answer these questions as they are designed to show how your mind approaches problems.
You can’t prepare for these, but you can practice explaining your thoughts aloud about different topics.
Preparation
Most of your interviews will be made up of what you wrote in your application. So make sure you review everything you’ve submitted (提交) as you will be asked about any writers or scientific theories you’ve mentioned. It’s not a good look if you can’t discuss your subject area or struggle to form your own opinions about it.
It’s also OK to say you’re unfamiliar with a question, but always attempt to answer it.
Interviews aren’t everything
Don’t worry about any mistakes you make. Your whole application is more than just a meeting, so take the time to de-stress and visit local sites.
It is also common for students to have an additional interview with another Oxford college if your interviewer is unsure about you. Take it as a second chance.
Overall, think and act as you usually would. Everyone there is gifted, but demonstrating (证明)) how your mind works and how you approach difficult things is how you will stand out.
【1】According to the passage, how can you prepare for the questions in interviews?
A.Search for information about ladybirds. B.Try to solve problems all by yourself.
C.Pay attention to your course or interests. D.Practice explaining your thoughts aloud.
【2】What does the underlined word “additional”mean in the passage?
A.Extra B.Special C.Usual D.Complete
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Interviews have something to do with what you wrote in your application.
B.You need to think and act much better than how you behave in your daily life.
C.You will be asked about a writer or scientific theories that you just heard about.
D.You should be careful not to make any mistakes when you are having interviews.
