26、Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people at your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells(细胞) in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern(样式).
You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.
So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist
Andrew Zolli ,“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?
【1】We can learn from the text that in the future__________.
A. people will never get old
B. everyone will look the same
C. red will be the most popular color
D. clothes will be able to change their pattern
【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.
B. More drinks will be given for sale.
C. Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.
D. Milk will be harmful to health.
【3】Which of the following is mentioned in the text?
A. Cars will be able to drive automatically(自动地).
B. Fridges will know what people need.
C. Jacket sleeves can be used as a guide.
D. Nothing can replace the Internet.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A. Food and clothing in 2035
B. The reason for the success of new technology.
C. Medical treatments of the future.
D. Future technology in everyday life.
27、 One of the most common questions I am asked is how people should move on from disappointing, challenging or unexpected situations. While there are many answers to this question, one thing that always stands out to me is the process of selfforgiveness. People often focus on learning to forgive others in life and sometimes we are almost blind to the possibility of forgiving ourselves.
It is absolutely natural to feel guilty, shameful and painful if you’ve hurt a loved one, argued with a coworker or you are just not happy with yourself. Forgiveness is not about just “letting go” of those feelings, but dealing with them in a positive manner. As the saying goes, “It’s not the load that breaks you down; it’s the way you carry it.”
The simple act of moving forward can benefit you in the long run: Studies show that an inability to selfforgive can play a role in anxiety and disappointment.
So how to let go of your selfanger?
Accept responsibility for what you’ve done. In this stage, you want to move away from your excuses. Without accepting responsibility, any form of selfforgiveness will be negative.
Adopt a new way of thinking about the mistake. If you carry old bricks from your past experiences，you can only build the same house that fell apart in the first place. You are more likely to repeat a mistake if you don’t learn from it, and learning requires compassion(同情). When a child falls over, it is lifted up with love and compassion to try again. We must practice this with ourselves.
Take time to appreciate that you can overcome your guilt, selfblame and feelings of pain. Appreciate that you can make changes in your life to avoid similar experiences in the future. Appreciate that you can create a new way of living.
【1】What does the author want to show by mentioning the saying in Paragraph 2?
A.It’s important to let go of bad feelings.
B.It’s important to stay positive in our life.
C.It’s important to carry the load correctly.
D.It’s important to forgive ourselves in a positive way.
【2】What does the author think we should do when trying to forgive ourselves?
A.Be willing to accept responsibility. B.Find some excuses for our mistakes.
C.Just let go of negative feelings. D.Learn to have compassion.
【3】What does the author suggest we do in the last paragraph?
A.We should overcome our guilt. B.We should reduce feelings of pain.
C.We should appreciate our progress. D.We should create a new way of living.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Letting Go of Your Anger B.Learning to Forgive Yourself
C.Moving on from Unexpected Situations D.Knowing the Importance of Forgiveness
28、 Not all great meals come from restaurants. Some are served from carts and stalls, and eaten on the go. So-called street food is not only delicious, but can be found in nearly every country, rich or poor, says Carla Diamanti, co-author of Street Food: Authentic Snacks from Around the World.. “It’s a way to get to know the people and the flavor of a place ,”says the Italian writer, who has nibbled(细咬) her way around the globe. She shares some favorite snacks----and snacking places with us.
Naples, Italy
Pizza: Pizza may be the closest thing to a global food, but Diamani says there’s nothing like the way it’s prepared in Naples. The dish is often ordered from a window counter and quickly baked for customers. If you’re eating it on the go, you fold it up for pizza al portafoglio（钱包）, literally wallet style. “Our pizza is quick and simple,” she says .www. inaples. it
New York
Hot dogs: When foreigners first visit America, one of the first things many want to try is the country’s typical snack food, the hot dog. “It’s like the flag of America---both inexpensive and democratic,” Diamanti says, “You expect to see kids queuing at a hot dog stall.” 212--484--1 200; www.nycgo.com
Japan
Bento boxes: Diamanti says the best time and place to eat this portable Japanese meal is under a blooming cherry tree in the spring. Bento boxes are filled with different dishes: often fish, meat, pickled vegetables, rice or tofu. “It’s really just a taste,” she says. While the containers are often elaborate（精心制作的） wooden serving trays, they can be also cardboard boxes ordered to go.212--757--5 640;www.jnto.go.jp
Jamama el Fna Square ,Marrakech, Morocco
Food stalls: When the sun begins to set, this central square comes to life as crowds gather to sing, dance and eat. Hundreds of stalls serves grilled meat, chicken and rice “There is plenty of smoke with hundreds of people cooking at the same time,” Diamanti says. 212—221—1 583;www.visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng/
【1】It can be learned from the text that Carla Diamanti ______________.

29、 Buster used to be a lovely dog playing and running on a farm all day before his handler (训练员). His life had a big change after Will’s presence because Will found he did extremely well in sniffing tests. Will thought Buster had a special talent and decided to let him become a member of RAF police working dogs. Buster began working with Flt Sgt Barrow in 2007, and the pair was sent to Afghanistan’s deadly Helmand province. There, Buster saved countless lives by sniffing out explosive devices (IEDs), as well as weapons. He joined his comrades repeatedly on foot patrols hunting Taliban terrorists and tracking down bombs. He also acted as a useful diplomatic tool, due to his friendly approach to local children. The RAF soon had a long train of children in tow, as Buster drew in his crowd and entertained them.
After his glittering service with the RAF, Buster retired in 2011, and died in 2015 at the age of 13 at the home of his handler, in Lincolnshire where he had been enjoying retirement with his handler Will, his wife Tracy and their two dogs who will inherit their father’s career.
Over the course of his career, Buster is thought to have saved more than 1,000 lives. He also helped patrol British bases and searched vehicles at check points, and upon retirement was made the official RAF Police mascot (吉祥物). Buster’s brave exploits were even documented in Flt Sgt Barrow’s book, which was published in January and soon became a best-selling one.
Buster completed five tours of duty in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Iraq and earned a row of campaign medals, and it was because of his great efforts in these austere environments full of terrorism that he would be remembered. It was the saving of countless lives by searching out IEDs that saw the honor of official lifetime mascot of the RAF Police bestowed（授予）upon Buster. The RAF police are now planning to honor Buster as part of a special event to celebrate RAF Police Working Dogs.
【1】What made a big difference in Buster’s life?
A.He took a sniffing test.
B.Will found his special ability.
C.He was chosen to work for RAF.
D.Will decided to train him.
【2】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Buster was born at Will Barrow’s home in Lincolnshire.
B.Buster’s children will also be a member of RAF police working dogs.
C.Buster was bestowed the mascot during working in Afghanistan.
D.Buster’s death in a campaign is a great loss for the RAF Police.
【3】The underlined word “austere” in the last paragraph probably means “_________”.
A.severe B.respectable
C.mild D.hopeless
【4】The passage mainly talks about__________.
A.a heroic sniffer dog’s legendary life
B.the lifetime mascot of the RAF Police
C.Buster’s cooperation with his comrades
D.the love between a handler and his dog

31、In one Nebraska teen running race before graduating from high school, Brandon Schutt’s personal best turned out not to be about marking the fastest time but displaying the biggest heart.

32、 Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific _________; I forgot what it was.

33、There has, in recent years, been an outpouring of information about the impact of buildings on the natural environment. Information which explains and promotes green construction design strives to _________ others of its effectiveness and warns of the dangers of ignoring the issue. Seldom do these documents offer any advice to practitioners, such as those designing mechanical and electrical systems for a building, on how to use this knowledge on a _________ level.
Although there are a good many advocates of “green” construction in the architectural industry, able to list enough reasons why buildings should be designed in a (n) _________ way, that doesn’t translate into a booming green construction industry. Likewise, the fact that plenty of architectural firms have experience in green design is not enough to make green construction _________. The driving force behind whether a building is constructed with minimal environmental impact _________ the owner of the building; that is, the person financing the project. If the owner considers green design unimportant, or of secondary importance, then more than likely, it will not be _________ into the design.
The commissioning (委任) process plays a key role in _________ the owner gets the building he wants, in terms of design, costs and risk. Owners who _________ the commissioning process, or fail to take “green” issues into account when doing so, often run into trouble once their building is up and running. Materials and equipment are installed as planned, and, at first glance, appear to fulfil their purpose adequately. _________, in time, the owner realizes that operational and maintenance costs are higher than necessary, and that the occupants are dissatisfied with the results. These factors in turn lead to higher ownership costs as well as increased environmental impact.
In some cases, an owner may be __________ of the latest trends in green building design, which, however, does not necessarily lead to an interpretation that the client already has an idea of how green he intends the structure to be. Indeed, this initial interaction between owner and firm is the ideal time for a designer to outline and __________ the ways that green design can meet the client’s objectives. In this way, he may turn a project originally not __________green design into a potential candidate.
Typically, when condiering whether or not to adopt a green __________, an owner will ask about additional costs or return for investment. In a typical project, landscape architects, mechanical and electrical engineers are not involved until a much later stage. However, in green design, they have a role to play from they outset, since green design demands__________between these disciplines, which requires additional cost. However, there are examples of green design which have demonstrated__________costs for long-term operation, ownership and even construnction.

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?
Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.

The technology could 【6】 other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to 【7】 available space.
In a keynote address, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the fold-able screen “the 【8】 for the smart-phone of tomorrow.” “It’s a balank canvas for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.
So is there nothing to stand in the way of the fold-able future?
According to tech news website Android authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every to OLED screens produced were 【9】. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these fold-able devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB.

But if the fold-able device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.

Over the past few years, there has been a big increase in the number of people sharing information online. In this article we will learn about some positive factors for people to share information online.
We often share information with our friends in the office or at home to educate, entertain or pleasantly surprise them. In this way we can connect with others. This is also true while sharing information online. If you look at the Facebook wall posts of your friends, you will realize that most of their updates are usually famous quotes, entertaining videos, inspirational images, funny jokes, etc. 94% of those who responded to a survey by the New York Times said they put a lot of thought into how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others.
A lot of people share information online to represent their true self to the outside world. Some people, especially those who are shy and not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the presence of others, find it extremely convenient to share that information online with like-minded individuals.
78% of the respondents in the study of The New York Times said they shared information online because it helps them develop better relationships. Today, a lot of people do not have the time to meet each other in person and the Internet has become a great substitute. A lot of people now “meet” each other online, rather than in conventional places like restaurants and pubs.
Lastly, when we share our thoughts online, we are actively engaging with the vast community of people who are a part of the World Wide Web. Sharing information will make a difference to the viewpoint of others, or add to their understanding about the world.

My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer.
When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, 'My ears, Mommy.' She said, 'No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.'
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated (考虑)the correct answer. So this time I told her, 'Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.
Over the years my mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was : 'No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child.'
Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, 'Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?' I was shocked when she asked me this on this occasion. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told, 'This question is very important. How you answer it shows whether you have learned about life. 'For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given a reason why. But today is the day you will know the answer.
I looked puzzled.
'All your previous answers -- ears, eyes, hands, heart They are all very importantto yourself. But this time I need you think of something that is important to others.'

'My dear, the most important body part,' she said,
