26、Most of the time, people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions. Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position. But nowadays, hats, especially women's hats, are much more than that. More exactly, hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars. What's more, people now consider many different features(特点) when choosing even a simple hat. Many designers point out that, when choosing the right hat, it's important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair, your height, and the shape of your face.

First of all, the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair. For instance, black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned. If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair, one will look as attractive as a summer flower. Second, the height of the hat is also an important point. Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns, just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height. Third, and most importantly, the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick. A small, gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face. However, women with big, round faces should choose a different style.

As the saying goes, "Fine feathers make fine birds." A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features, so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public?

【1】What does the underlined word “harsh” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. good  B. strange  C. poor D. different

【2】According to the article, which of the following women would look most attractive?

A. A big-faced woman who wears a small, nice hat.

B. A short red-haired woman who wears a purple hat.

C. A tall woman who wears a hat with a huge upturned brim.

D. A small dark-skinned woman who wears a black hat with a tall crown.

【3】What does the last paragraph suggest?

A. Hats are worn on the head to keep warm.

B. Hats can help you look better in public.

C. Hats are not as important as character.

D. Hats can make you look much taller.

【4】What is the best title for the article?

A. How to Show Your Social Position.

B. How to Improve Your Features.

C. How to Choose a Proper Hat.

D. How to Design a Nice Hat.

27、Every experience makes us grow — nowhere is this more true than at North Country School (NCS). The NCS experience includes both classroom and experiential learning. Their courses help every child unlock their hidden potential and passions.

NCS was eye-opening for Sam Shi. He discovered his passion for biology as he learned about the wildlife and ecosystems (生态系统) within the Adirondacks. “The hands-on, placed-based teaching styles were extremely interesting,” he says. “A whole new type of appreciation occurs when you learn about living things while actually being surrounded by it.”

NCS students grow and learn effectively thanks to the direct experience they get. Led by talented teachers, they aren’t just learning by doing — they’re knowing by doing.

Shi got a taste of this as early as his first day in the Design and Build class with Larry Robjent. “No NCS class works like your standard, textbook classes,” he says. “Larry laid out our year-long project of deconstructing an on-campus bridge and plans to build a new one. A year-long project, where we actually got to work outside, with our hands, and build something practical. No chance you’d find that anywhere else.”

Shi described everything about that class as “special”. He got to be creative. Most importantly, he studied physics and engineering in practical ways. “At the end I got to stand alongside my classmates and admire the product of our efforts, something that would remain a piece of NCS for many years to come,” he shares.

Such breakthroughs happen daily at NCS. “The journey of discovering how to trust my abilities is a life lesson that has remained with me and likely always will,” says Shi. “The teachers always encouraged me to try new things and to trust myself.”

With such courses, it is no wonder NCS students gain confidence, creativity and knowledge. As Shi says, “I had no idea how cool this place would be, and certainly didn’t expect my study there to impact my life as obviously as it did and continues to do.”

【1】What are courses like at North Country School according to the passage?

A．They only focus on experiential learning.

B．They can help inspire students’ personal growth.

C．They are mainly for gifted students.

D．They attract many talented teachers.

【2】What does the underlined word mean in the fourth paragraph?

A．Repairing.

B．Creating.

C．Taking apart.

D．Blowing up.

【3】According to Shi, what is the life lesson he has learned from NCS experience?

A．A passion for biology.

B．A knowledge of building a bridge.

C．A curiosity about new things.

D．A sense of self-confidence.

【4】What can we infer from Shi’s words in the last paragraph?

A．He feels gratitude to his school.

B．He wouldn’t have become what he is now without being educated at NCS.

C．What he has learned at NCS will affect him all through his life.

D．The time he spent at NCS is worth remembering.

28、The people who built Stonehenge in southern England thousands of years ago had wild parties, eating barbecued pigs and breaking pottery. This is according to recent work by archaeologists—history experts who investigate (调查) how human beings lived in the past.

Archaeologists digging near Stonehenge last year discovered the remains of a large prehistoric village where they think the builders of the mysterious stone circle used to live.

The village is about 4600 years old, the same age as Stonehenge and as old as the pyramids in Egypt. It is less than two miles from the famous ancient landmark and lies inside a massive man­made circular dirt wall, or “henge”， known as the Durrington Walls.

Remains found at the site included jewellery, stone arrowheads, tools made of deer antlers, wooden spears and huge amounts of animal bones and broken pottery. “These finds suggest Stone Age people went to the village at special times of the year to feast and party”， says Mike Parker Pearson from Sheffield University in England.

He said many of the pig bones they found had been thrown away half­eaten. He also said the partygoers appeared to have shot some of the farm pigs with arrows, possibly as a kind of sport before barbecuing them.

An ancient road which led from the village to the River Avon was also found. Here, the experts think, people came after their parties to throw dead relatives in the water so the bodies would be washed downstream to Stonehenge.

Parker Pearson believes Stonehenge was like a cemetery where ancient Britons buried the dead and remembered their ancestors. “The theory is that Stonehenge is a kind of spirit home to the ancestors.”

The recent discovery of the village within the Durrington Walls shows that Stonehenge didn't stand alone but was part of a much bigger religious site, according to Parker Pearson.

People still come to worship and celebrate at Stonehenge today. They meet there when the sun sets on the shortest day of winter and when it rises on the longest day of summer. But the days of barbecuing whole pigs there and throwing family members into the river are a thing of the past.

【1】What was Stonehenge according to the text?

A.A village where hundred of people once lived.

B.A place that regularly hosted large parties.

C.A church where local villagers would get married.

D.A site where dead people were placed or remembered.

【2】From the text we can infer that the people who came to the village ________.

A.liked to drink wine  B.knew how to hunt

C.were from Egypt   D.lived by the River Avon

【3】What do experts think people did after the village parties?

A.Returned to live at Stonehenge.

B.Prayed for good luck in the new year.

C.Hunted farm pigs as a sport.

D.Put their dead relatives in the river.

【4】When do people most often go to Stonehenge today?

A.When a new discovery is made.

B.At the beginning of summer and winter.

C.On the longest and shortest days of the year.

D.When they want to have a barbecue.

29、   Self-help books refer to those books that are written to inspire, to encourage, and to just help a person. There are many kinds of self-help books, including books for growing your business, giving up smoking, or how to be better at golf. 【1】 However, their wealth of information and help is truly priceless.

32、阅读下面短文, 根据内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

I guess everyone would like to set off for a journey with someone we can understand and have fun with. Travelling with a companion(同伴) is great!

It’s good to have someone with you who can watch your backpack when you want to use the toilet, find the way back home when you get lost, carry some of your luggage when you’re tired, take some photos of you when you want and help you in all kinds of situations. The feeling of having someone by your side makes you feel less stressful about many things.

With a companion you can together share the beautiful moments during the travels, experience the same things in a different way and support each other. It’s much more interesting and exciting when you have the chance to share something with someone while on your road. Meanwhile, there is always someone whom you can shout at when you are angry, or a shoulder on which you can cry when you miss your home.

A companion can share the costs with you. You can stay in one room, buy a dinner, have it together and share the bill, etc. It’s good to travel with someone who has the same or similar pattern of payment as you so you can support each other without having any arguments.

Having a companion by your side when travelling means less loneliness. You don’t think about it unless you get left in the middle of nowhere, far away from your friends and family. Then you wish to have someone with you.

In short, travelling with someone is the best choice for people who are short of travel experience. We might sometimes feel like being on our own and enjoy the sights with nobody behind our back but at the end of the day you have much more fun when being with someone, especially for a long run.
