26、   The little,black-haired boy was waiting for us on the other side of the world.Ever since our adoption agency had matched us,I'd been crazily completing all the necessary paperwork.We knew we faced months of waiting before we could hold our new son in our arms,and he'd waited long enough already.

I made it a personal goal to never delay the process.If we had documents to get notarized(公证),we would do them on the very day we were told.On one late afternoon in June,I rushed from our Secretary of State's office toward the closest FedEx office.I had a document to send overnight.

It turned out that the chances were good.Less than five minutes later,I saw a FedEx sign,and the truck made a turn into the parking lot.Our documents went out that night.Three months later,we flew halfway around the world to meet our son for the first time.We have been with him every day since.

Miracles are always around us if we are open to them.Sometimes,it's a smile at the right time or a kind word.And every now and then,it's even a big truck that cuts us off at the stoplight.

27、When people think about British music, for the most part they think about the 60s or 70s with the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones or more modern artists like Adele or Ed Sheeran. However, stuck between these two ages was, in my opinion, British music’s best period. The 90s were an optimistic time for Britain and indeed Europe, with the economy recovering from the lows of the 80s and the Cold War ending.

One of the defining features of 90s music was the birth of “Britpop”. This was a style of pop music that aimed to promote “Britishness” and commonly featured electric guitars, drums and male singers. Britpop was the style used by world-famous bands such as Oasis, Blur, Pulp and Suede who became known as “The Big Four”. The summer of 1995 was dominated by the “Battle of Britpop” which was between Blur and Oasis for the number one spot. Eventually, Blur won the battle and Oasis settled for second.

However, the 90s weren’t only for the boys, with major female groups also finding fame, the most well-known of which were “the Spice Girls” who were extremely popular in Britain and around the world. Once again they promoted “Britishness” and had catchy melodies and lyrics, but they also started the “Girl Power” movement which helped empower girls and women worldwide. It isn’t too far to assume that without their music, many female singers and artists who we love today would not have had the confidence to pursue their dream.

British music may have had many great times, however the 90s are often overlooked. Although I was not alive to enjoy the music properly, the 90s had a huge impact on British culture that can be felt today and I feel that the decade should get the recognition it deserves!

【1】What can we infer from the first paragraph?

A．The Cold War came to an end in the 80s.

B．Britain’s economy began to pick up in the 90s.

C．The Beatles represented the best British music.

D．Adele is better than Ed Sheeran in modern music.

【2】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．Britpop.

B．Britishness.

C．The Big Four.

D．Battle of Britpop.

【3】What’s the most important influence of “the Spice Girls” according to the text?

A．Promoting “Britishness”.

B．Empowering girls and women.

C．Creating catchy melodies.

D．Finding fame for female groups.

【4】The writer thinks the impact of the 90s music on British culture is ________.

A．underestimated

B．well-recognized

C．fairly evaluated

D．reasonably doubted

28、   Commercial organizations have not been slow to see the financial rewards of using music in shops, restaurants, banks and there is now a fascinating and significant body of literature on the topic. This has been spearheaded (做先锋) by the British psychologist Adrian North in many studies that have been imaginative and inspiring.

In one study this research group agreed with a supermarket to play either stereotypically (带有成见的) French or German music on alternate days for a fortnight in the part of the shop selling wine They measured the amount and type of wine bought during this period. Yes, it worked! French music led to more sales of French wine and German music led to a preference for German wine.

In another study the research team played different kinds of music while people were tasting wine. They showed, as predicted, that the words people used to describe wine like smooth or bold were a part function of the music that was playing.

In a similar study either classical, pop or no music at all was played in a British restaurant over the course of nearly 3 weeks. Researchers measured time and money spent, the latter being broken: or down between drink and food. The customers spent more time and money (on starters and coffee) when the classical music was playing. The researchers offered three explanations for these potentially important findings: classical music was synergistic (协同的) with all other aspects of the restaurant  atmosphere.

Second, the patrons (顾客) simply preferred it, and transferred their good response to increased time and money spent. The third explanation was that classical music promotes an upmarket (高价位市场的) atmosphere in which it is natural to spend more money. Of course all explanations could function at the same time.

【1】What can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A．Most people like to drink French wine.

B．More people like to listen to German music.

C．It is allowed to sell French wine for only 8 week.

D．Music can bring economical benefit to the supermarket.

【2】Which music is preferred by people eating at the restaurant?

A．Classical music.

B．Pop music.

C．French music

D．German music.

【3】Classical music can produce an atmosphere, which makes people ________.

A．feel excited

B．go to sleep

C．dance to the music.

D．spend more money

【4】What can we learn about the explanations for classical music's popularity?

A．The first one is the most important.

B．The second one is more practical.

C．The third one is more reasonable.

D．They are not contradictory (矛盾的) with each other.

【5】What can we conclude according to the passage?

A．Commercial organizations have seen the benefit of using proper music in their workplace.

B．Adrian North is an inspiring psychologist,

C．Music plays an important part in every field.

D．Music can be increasingly popular after the studies,

29、   They say that Mexico is a country no one ever leaves. Every year, millions of tourists pass through, and Mexicans jovially (高兴地) warn that a part of them will remain behind forever. Most visitors are vacationing North Americans who wind up on the brilliant beaches of Cancun, Acapulco, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. The beaches, of course, are among the world’s best—but those who venture inland are rewarded with the true soul of Mexico, which has always resided firmly in the interior.

And it is a big soul. Mexico is vast, made up of nearly two million square miles of coastline, desert, rain forests, mountains, and fertile plains. From the American borderlands of the wide, agriculturally rich north, the country narrows gently as it sweeps south and east. The two main mountain ranges, the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental, hug the west and east, finally merging (并入) into the volcanically active central highlands and the capital, Mexico City—the most populous city in the world. Further south, the country narrows to only 100 miles, then broadens again before reaching the Guatemalan border. There are two major peninsulas (半岛) that are almost countries themselves. In the west is the poetically barren Baja Peninsula; to the east, protruding into the Caribbean like the end of a fish hook, is the Yucatan peninsula, bursting with rain forests, Mayan ruins, and white powder beaches.

The population is about 106 million, and the generosity（慷慨大方）of the Mexican people is unsurpassed (非常卓越的). Knowing a few simple sentences in Spanish will win hearts.

Mexico has been graced with an unusually temperate climate year round. The most important thing to remember is that the Mexican summer is also the rainy season, although the rain rarely lasts more than a few hours, and typically arrives in the late afternoon. Extremes are present only in the North and in Baja, both of which have deserts where the temperature leaps above 100F. Mexico City has a year-round temperature in the high 80s, while the coasts usually stay in the mid-90s. Night time temperatures fall somewhat, but rarely break down below a comfortable 60F.

【1】By saying “Knowing a few simple sentences in Spanish will win hearts.”, the writer wants to show that_____.

A.Mexicans are particularly friendly to foreigners who can speak Spanish

B.Spanish is Mexico’s official language

C.Mexicans especially welcome Spanish tourists

【2】The last paragraph is mainly about Mexico’s _____.

A.geography B.climate C.population D.language

【3】In the north of Mexico, _____.

A.there are plenty of rainforests

B.many volcanoes are very active

C.economy mainly depends on agriculture

D.visitors can enjoy Mayan ruins in the forests

【4】The purpose of this passage is to _____.

A.tell us the results of the writer’s survey

B.advise us to tour around Mexico

C.give us some introduction about Mexico

D.show the relationship between temperature and desert

【5】It can be inferred that a tourist who stays in Mexico City usually feels _____.

A.cold B.frozen C.comfortable D.hot

【6】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Nobody prefers to leave Mexico.

B.Mexico City has a large population.

C.Baja Peninsula looks like a fish hook.

D.Whoever visits Mexico can learn about Mexico’s soul.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.

We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

39、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

When it comes to the question of where curry (咖喱), yoga and Bollywood films come from, the answer is definitely India, a modern country which achieved independence on 15 August, 1947. As one of the ancient civilizations Indian culture has influenced and inspired other cultures around the world.

First, Indian food, especially its richly spiced dishes which are called “curry”outside India, has become a favorite all around the world. Most countries have their own version of Indian curry. In Japan it is very sweet and in Thailand an Indian-style chicken curry is served alongside Thai curries. In more cosmopolitan cities around the world, you can buy samosas, fried snacks with a filling of vegetables, spices and sometimes meat, and naan bread.

If you have eaten too many samosas and are worried about your health, try yoga. This is an ancient Hindu philosophy and system of exercises originating in India. Yoga is now recognized all over the world as an intelligent form of exercise. Regular practice can heal minor illnesses, change your state of mind, help you lose weight or work your muscles. More and more different types of yoga are being developed and the original poses have been adapted to suit modern needs. Yoga has become so fashionable worldwide that a lot of companies are using pictures of people doing yoga to sell their products!

But one of the most famous things about modern Indian culture is the Indian film industry, known as Bollywood. The usual story is about a boy and a girl who love each other but their families don't approve. There is a lot of dancing and singing in the film as the boy and girl try to convince their families to let them marry. The increasing interest in Bollywood films inspired Andrew Lioyd Webber to produce the musical Bombay Dreams, which is the first Indian-theme musical shown on Broadway.
