26、Li Bingyin is now studying law at the Stern School of Business at New York University. She wrote this letter just before hurricane Sandy destroyed the East Coast.

Dear readers,

The storm will really take a toll on the city! Right now I am sitting in my dormitory（寝室）, waiting for the blackout（停电）to come any second, and listening to the wind howl outside my windows. Hurricane Sandy is supposed to hit the East Coast hard today. Due to the bad weather, most schools and universities have canceled classes for Monday and Tuesday.

Luckily, the university has taken steps to prepare for this storm. University officials sent out e-mails with explanation in the case of a blackout, evacuation（撤离）, or other emergency. Just recently, I received several text messages from the school about power off in certain dormitories. They advised us to prepare a bag with essentials（生活必需品）, in case we needed to leave the building and move to a safer place.

Yesterday I went out to buy a flashlight(手电筒), but all of the nearby stores were sold out. Everyone was storing water, food and other supplies for the storm.

Right now the city is unusually quiet. On any other day, there would be the sounds of cars, people chatting, and street artists performing. Tonight, there’s just the wind and rain hitting the window. The subway system has been closed since last night, and there is nobody on the streets. Hopefully Hurricane Sandy will soon pass without leaving much damage

Sincerely,

Li Bingyin

27、Johnny Smith was a good math student at a high school. He loved his computer. He came home early every day, then he worked with it till midnight. But Johnny was not a good English student, not good at all. He got an F in his English class.

One day after school，Johnny came back home and joined his computer to the computer of his high school office.

28、How is eating in space different from eating on Earth?

If you send astronauts into space, you have to send along food as well. But what do astronauts eat, and how do they eat it? Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space.

First, and possibly most important, is nutrition (营养). 【1】 Providing junk food to eat, such as potato chips, sodas, and pizza, would make the astronauts unhealthy.

【2】 If the food that has been provided is distasteful, then the astronauts may avoid eating it. If you’ve ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesn’t feel well, you’ll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission(task) want their astronauts to eat regularly.

The lack (缺少) of gravity (pull) in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space. Meals must be packaged carefully so they won’t spill(洒落/溢出) into the cabin (one of the areas inside a spacecraft). Water or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it. 【3】 A loose knife bouncing (弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous.

【4】 The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated (计算) in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and back home again. 【5】 Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated (使脱水). When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to the meal and warm it up.

Despite all these requirements, much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what you might eat on any given day.

A．Taste is also important.

B．Finally, weight is an important concern.

C．Food packaging is made to be as light as possible.

D．Believe it or not, they also have fresh fruits and vegetables.

E．Nutrition and practicality(实用) are important things to consider.

F．For the same reason, sharp knives and folks are never used on board.

G．Keeping astronauts’ physical health is a top task for any space mission.

29、A company has just launched what it calls “the world’s first free standardized English test” recently. Anyone can take the test for free. The new exam is called the EFSET, which is short for Education First Standardized English Test. The company, Education First, is known by the letters EF.

It is estimated that there are two billion English language learners worldwide. Many of them are interested in attending an American college or university. To do so, foreign students need to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language—better known as TOEFL. However, many foreigners are not wealthy enough to take the TOEFL. In addition, test-takers often have to travel overnight to reach an official testing site. The World Bank says an average Cambodian worker earns only about $1,000 per year. Approximately the cost of taking the TOEFL is 17.5 percent of the average worker’s yearly wage.

It is not just individuals who find the test pricey. Some governments also find it prohibitive. What’s more, not everyone needs official results from the TOEFL or IELTS—the International English Language Testing System. In the future, it’s likely that the government may use the EFSET to test millions of employees and students.

Experts believe that the EFSET meets the highest value in language testing. It uses special computer software that makes the questions easier or harder, depending on one’s performance. The EFSET measures all the English learners’ levels while the IELTS and TOEFL only measure learners’ levels from intermediate to advanced. The EFSET is unique in the sense that it gives free online access to anyone interested in measuring their English level.

There is a 50-minute and a two-hour version of the test, which its developers are calling the EFSET Plus. Both versions test only reading and listening skills. It’s hopeful that speaking and writing skills will be tested in the future. The IELTS and the TOEFL still use humans to rate the speaking and writing sections. It’s a huge deal for students who are in areas where they can’t get to the TOEFL or the IELTS. However, it is too early to know whether the EFSET results are acceptable for colleges and universities in America.

【1】Why do many foreign students take the TOEFL?

A. To learn English well.

B. To be admitted to key universities.

C. To receive further education in America.

D. To find good jobs and earn much money.

【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A. Only wealthy people can take the TOEFL.

B. The cost of taking the TOEFL is very high.

C. There are many official testing sites for the TOEFL around the world.

D. Few of the students in Cambodia can afford to take the TOEFL.

【3】What can we learn about the EFSET?

A. It is similar to the TOEFL and the IELTS.

B. Everybody with different English levels can take it for free.

C. It tests the skills of reading, listening, writing and speaking.

D. American universities accept the EFSET results for admission.

31、根据课文内容填空，每空一词，首字母已给出。

It was the final part of the 2016 World Triathlon Series in Mexico. W【1】 just 700 metres to go, Alistair Brownlee was in the third place and his younger brother, Johnny, was in the l【2】 . Alistair pushed himself towards the finish line in the burning heat, but as he came round the corner, he saw his brother a【3】 to fall onto the t【4】. Alistair had to choose—brotherly love, or a chance to win the race?

For Alistair, the choice was clear. His brother was in trouble. He had to help. Alistair ran towards Johnny, caught him and started pulling him towards the finish line. Alistair then p【5】 his brother over the line. The move put Johnny in second place and Alistair himself in third. It was an u【6】 end to the race, but Alistair did not want to discuss it with the m【7】 . He just wanted to see his younger brother, who had been rushed to the m【8】 area.

The Brownlee brothers have been doing triathlons since they were children. “O【9】 , when your older brother is doing it, you think it's a cool thing to do," says Johnny. Alistair says that they encourage each other as much as they can when they train. D【10】 arguments over “stupid things" now and then, Alistair agrees that having a brother is an a【11】. “Throughout my e【12】 life, I've had my brother trying to beat me at everything I do. It has been an e【13】. positive force."

Watched by millions, the ending to the race has d【14】 opinions: should the brothers have been disqualified or highly praised for their actions? But for Alistair, this decision was easy to explain: “Mum wouldn't have been happy if I'd left Johnny behind.” At that moment, he was no longer an athlete a【15】 for a medal—he was just a brother.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文.

Good Neighbours

After school one winter day, Jack asked his mother to allow him to go out and play in the snow. “Sure, you can. Remember to put on your coat and your hat and your gloves,” his mother said. “You can build a snowman before your father comes home.”

“I’m going to need a carrot for the nose,” Jack said. “And I’ll need some things for the snowman’s hat and face.” Jack got a bucket and collected everything he needed to decorate his snowman. His mother promised she would watch him build the snowman from the window.

Outside, in his front yard, Jack started with a very small ball of snow. He got on his knees and rolled the snow into a big ball. At another window, someone else was watching Jack play. It was his new neighbour Naoko. Naoko asked her mother if she could go outside and join Jack in building his snowman. Naoko’s mother agreed and promised to watch her from the window. “You can play until your father comes home,” her mother said.

Naoko ran outside to Jack’s yard and asked if she could help him finish his snowman.

“Yes, please help me,” Jack said. “I have built my snowman’s body with two snowballs. I need to roll one more for my snowman’s head.”

“But snowmen only have two snowballs. One is for the body and one is for the head,” Naoko said.

“No, snowmen always have three snowballs,” Jack said. “I don’t think I need you to help me after all.”

Jack picked up some snow and made it into a small snowball. He got on his knees and rolled the snow away from Naoko to make the snowman’s head. Naoko walked back into her own yard and began to build her own snowman.

Jack made a hat for his snowman with his bucket (桶). He used his mother’s sewing (缝) buttons for the eyes and mouth. Lastly, he added a carrot for the snowman’s nose. Seeing his snowman, Jack was happy when suddenly a terrible thing happened. The head fell off the snowman and crashed to the ground! “Oh, no! My snowman fell apart,” Jack said, “and my father is almost home!”

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Naoko heard Jack’s cry and ran over to his yard to see what the problem was.
