26、   An 85-year-old building, the Lagena Primary School has been lifted off the ground—in its entirety—and relocated using new technology called the “walking machine”. In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-storey building, according to Lan Wuji, chief technical supervisor of the project. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which take turns to rise up and down, imitating(模仿) the human walking. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward, Lan said, whose company Shanghai

Evolution Shift developed the new technology in 2018. “It’s like giving the building crutches(拐杖) so it can stand up and then walk,” he said. Built in 1935, the school was moved in order to make space for a new commercial and office complex (建筑群), which will be completed by 2023.

The relocation was completed on October 15 last year with the old school building set to become a center for heritage protection and cultural education. The project marked the first time this “walking machine” method has been used in Shanghai to relocate a historical building.

There are a few ways to go about moving a building. But the Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, created a new challenge—it’s T-shaped. The irregular shape meant that traditional methods of pulling or sliding may not have worked. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”. Lan said that he couldn’t share the exact cost of the project, and that relocation costs will differ case by case. “But in general, it’s cheaper than demolishing and then rebuilding something in a new location.”

【1】What can we know about the Lagena Primary School?

A．It was relocated in 2018.

B．It was built in the 1930s.

C．It was designed by Lan Wuji.

D．It was lifted off the ground partly.

【2】What was used to move the school?

A．Mobile supports.

B．Robotic arms.

C．Pulling vehicles.

D．Sliding machines.

【3】Why was the school moved away?

A．To protect it in a better way.

B．To test the walking machine.

C．To make space for a modern school.

D．To make room for commercial buildings.

【4】What does the underlined word “demolishing” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Refusing.

B．Charging.

C．Destroying.

D．Defeating.

27、Learning other languages, you discover how to say the same thing in many different ways. In English we say “goodnight”. In Russia, people say “ΠoЗДpаΒЛеНИе”. In Vietnamese, people say “chúc ngú ngon”, which means “have a delicious sleep”. When I think about the word “delicious, I think of pizza, chocolate and ice-cream. I don't think about going to sleep. So depending on the language, different phrases will improve your creativity and force you to think about how to say things in a different way.

Studying a new language, you will notice that you have to learn a new sense of humor that comes along with the culture of that language. Sometimes jokes that work in English won't work in French or Japanese. But sometimes things that nobody would laugh at in English work in Vietnamese. I learned this when I performed the stand-up comedy in Vietnam. A lot of my non-Vietnamese speaking friends would ask me to translate the jokes for them, but when I translated it back into English, no one laughed.

When you learn a new language, you have to learn a lot of vocabulary, new grammar, idioms and much more besides. Doing this, you have to learn memory skills. These could be flash cards, using recall methods, or building a memory palace. Whatever tactic you use, it will strengthen your creativity.

Next time you meet someone who speaks several languages, before you think that they have something special going on in their brain, take a step back and think. Maybe they do. But maybe they've got that special thing because they've made the effort to learn several languages. An effort is something we all need.

【1】Which has the closest meaning as “chúc ngú ngon” in English?

A．Have a good dream.

B．Have a nice day.

C．Enjoy delicious food.

D．See you next time.

【2】Why did no one laugh after hearing the translation of the jokes?

A．The jokes were not funny in Vietnamese.

B．The author was not a humorous translator.

C．English is less humorous than Vietnamese.

D．The audience couldn't get the humor in English.

【3】What does the underlined word “tactic” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Strategy.

B．Information.

C．Guideline.

D．Expression.

【4】In which section of a magazine may the text come from?

A．Nature.

B．Education.

C．Travel.

D．Health.

28、There is a popular saying in the English language: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Well, that is not true. Unkind words, name-calling or even the so-called “the silent treatment” can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so. A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal (言语的) abuse by other children can harm, the development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, aged 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.

The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the area that was underdeveloped.

The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect. The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear, depression, anger and drug abuse than others in the study.

The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatry's website.

Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children.

【1】Why does the author use the popular saying at the beginning?

A．To show the power of words.

B．To introduce an opposite view.

C．To prove the author's argument.

D．To show ancient people's wisdom.

【2】What did the people studied in the research have in common?

A．They were hurt by unkind words.

B．They performed poorly in imaging tests.

C．They had their brain slightly damaged.

D．They experienced no physical abuse at home.

【3】What will be discussed in the next paragraph?

A．Comments on the findings.

B．Approaches to further studies.

C．Suggestions to parents.

D．Different opinions on the matter.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Unkind words hurt the brain.

B．Verbal violence should be stopped.

C．The way we speak matters.

D．Words are worse than sticks and stones.

29、   The temperature of the sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface,but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center.The sun is so much hotter than the earth that matter can exist only as a gas,except at the core.In the core of the sun,the pressures are so great against the gases that,despite the high temperature,there may be a small solid core.However,no one really knows,since the center of the sun can never be directly observed.

Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones.Starting at the outside and going down into the sun,the zones are the corona,chromosphere,photosphere,convection zone and finally the core.The first three zones are regarded as the sun's atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun begins.

The sun's outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles.This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse such as the one in February 1979.At any other time,the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the sun's rays.

The corona is a brilliant,pearly white,filmy light,about as bright as the full moon.Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse.The corona's rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike（一束束穗状）rays near the sun's north and south poles.The corona is thickest at the sun's equator.

The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit.The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets.By the time the sun's corona rays reach the earth,they are weak and invisible.

【1】Matter on the sun can exist only in the form of gas because of the sun’s ________

A.size B.age C.location D.temperature

【2】All of the following are parts of the sun’s atmosphere EXCEPT the ________.

A.cornoa B.core C.photospere D.chromosphere

【3】Accroding the passage, as the corona rays reach the planets, they become ______.

A.hotter B.clearer C.thinner D.stronger

【4】The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses which of the following?

A.The remaining layers of the sun.

B.The evolution of the sun to its present form.

C.The eclipse of February 1979.

D.Scientists will cost more money on researching the corona.

30、In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control __________, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers.

Experts ___________ the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. ___________, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.

Temples and other cultural sites were ___________ piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were ___________ from the water.
