26、   Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful, there’s a natural impulse(冲动) to want to own and preserve it — which means, in this day and age, that we’re likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.

Though this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we’re likely to be so busy taking the pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest drove us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them, so sure are we that we’ll get around to it one day.

These problems were noticed right at the beginning of the history of photography, when the average camera was the size of a grandfather clock. The first person to notice them was the English art critic, John Ruskin. He was a traveler who realized that most tourists make a boring job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and wish to have it, but that there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worst, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskin’s eyes, there’s one thing we should do and that is attempt to draw the interesting things we see, no matter whether we have any talent for doing so.

Ruskin was very upset by how seldom people notice details. He strongly disliked the travelers who prided themselves on covering Europe in a week by train. “If he be truly a man, no harm to go slow; for his glory is not at all in going, but in being.”

【1】People are eager to take pictures at seeing something beautiful because ___________.

A. it’s human’s born desire of owning B. it’s convenient to do so with a mobile phone

C. they are used to hurrying for everything D. they cannot wait to share it with friends

【2】When taking pictures, people may ___________.

A. find a good way to store good memories in their minds

B. feel it hard to learn the skills of taking good photos

C. ignore appreciating something attractive on the spot

D. have chances to meet the challenge of new technology

【3】According to the last paragraph，travelling people are usually proud of ___________.

A. the long distance that they have covered

B. the happy hours that they have gone through

C. the advanced transport tool that they have taken

D. the great convenience that they have been offered

【4】We can conclude that Rustin attached importance to ___________.

A. travelling around the world B. taking beautiful photos with a camera

C. taking photos instead of painting pictures D. admiring the world’s beauty attentively

27、   For over 40 years, gaokao has not only affected individual students, but also has had a significant impact on national development.

In a move to fix talent shortages in the high-end chip, software design, intelligent technology, new materials and advanced manufacturing and social sciences, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced a new college enrollment plan — called the “strengthening basic disciplines plan (强基计划)” — that will start this year.

The pilot plan has been rolled out in the country’s top 36 universities. By May 13, all schools had released their distinctive enrollment plans, encouraging senior high students with special talents to sign up.

Before the end of May, students can apply to one of the 36 participating universities. Enrollment policies vary by university, with admission limits set from dozens of students to 200.

These universities also detailed their recruitment procedure.

After the results of gaokao are released, schools will release lists of qualifying students, who either excel in gaokao, or have won first or second prizes in Olympiads with gaokao scores at least higher than the first round of register lines. These applicants will then receive additional tests and interviews. The final enrollment decision is heavily based on the gaokao score, which will remain the most important criterion (标准), accounting for more than 85 percent of the final result, says MOE.

The universities have announced that they will also consider physical tests as a reference for submission (录取), according to China Youth Daily.

Once the students are enrolled, they are expecting an intensive educational program. For example, Tsinghua University has set up five schools, offering courses in chemical biology, information and computing science, theory and applied mechanics as their dominant disciplines. The university’s goal is to “put admitted students in small, independent classes with the best and most specific teaching resources and learning environments for their discipline”, according to Yu Xiaoxiao, the director of admission at Tsinghua University.

Compared to the previous independent university enrollment scheme (高校自主招生计划), under which some students could either gain admission without taking gaokao or be awarded bonus points in the exam, “the new plan positively facilitates diverse, efficient and scientific progress in Chinese college admissions,” noted China.org.

【1】What’s the purpose of the passage?

A.To affect individual students with talents.

B.To inform people of a new education project.

C.To instruct high schools to improve education quality.

D.To help the college-bound high school students with exarms.

【2】Which of the following is the function of gaokao according to the passage?

A.It helps students to get admitted to certain programs.

B.It fixes talent shortages in the high technology.

C.It greatly influences national development.

D.It strengthens college enrollment plans.

【3】What do we know about the “strengthening basic disciplines plan”?

A.Each applicant can apply to the 36 participating universities.

B.The final enrollment decision has nothing to do with the gaokao score.

C.The applicants will receive additional tests and interviews after gaokao.

D.Each university can admit 200 students with the same enrollment policy.

【4】Where is this passage probably taken from?

A.A newspaper. B.A science magazine.

C.A university website. D.A textbook.

28、Every festival has its own meaning. Labor Day, for example, celebrates the value of hard work. Thanksgiving is about showing thanks to people around you. And Valentines’ Day is a time when you express love to your loved ones. But somehow it now seems that all festivals we just care about one thing—shopping. And that can be a big problem.

“In a way, over -consumption(过度消费) is the mother of all our environmental problems” Kalle Lasn once told CNN. Lasn is the organizer of Buy Nothing Day, a day set up in Canada in 1992 to fight against unhealthy spending habits, and has now become an international event. It’s held on the day, which is known as Black Fridny—a famous shopping day in the US and Canada.

You can see the irony(讽刺)here.

Even though the idea of Buy Nothing Day was brought up 26 years ago, we seem to need it now more than ever. It’s just as Lasn said, all the different kinds of pollution in our lives today bad air quality, the reduction of forest area, endangered animal species, and plastic bags found in the ocean—seem to be the same cause: over-consumption.

The latest example is the Singles’ Day shopping craze of Nov 1l, which saw a new sales record. But as Nie Li, a campaigner at Greenpeace, told Reuters. “Record-setting over-consumption means record-setting waste. ” And it was reported that last year the Singles’ Day packages left more than 160,000 tons of waste, including plastic and cardboard. The Collins dictionary has also just named “single-use” its Word of the Year, pointing out the problem that there’re too many things we tow out after only using them once.

So, Buy Nothing Day might only be here for one day a year, but it’s not just to remind us to the a break from shopping on that day, but to change our lifestyle completely, focusing on fun   “with people we care about” rather than wasting money on useless things.

【1】What’s the authors purpose of writing the first paragraph?

A．To express the people's love for all festivals.

B．To talk about the meaning of the festivals.

C．To appreciate the value of the festivals.

D．To bring out the topic of the passage.

【2】Why did Kalle Lasn organize Buy Nothing Day?

A．To help people save money.

B．To cut the cost for daily life.

C．To prevent over-consumption.

D．To set up a new sales record.

【3】What's Nie Li’s attitude towards the shopping craze?

A．Opposed (反对的).

B．Supportive.

C．Unknown.

D．Neutral(中立的).

【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A．Creating a New Lifestyle

B．Buy Nothing Day

C．Festivals Around the World

D．A Change in People’s Life

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are 【1】. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out other people’s 【2】 and on many occasions, to be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.

Is there really much truth behind this science of 【3】 human emotions through expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) 【4】 psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific advisor and the following are some of his explanations.

Hand-to-face gesture indicates a lie.

Each micro-expression is unique to 【5】 specific emotions because the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.

A liar refuses eye contact.

People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are 【6】 an excuse. Oblique eyebrows are a very reliable 【7】of sadness and few people can make this 【8】 expression, so it is actually never faked.

Guilty knowledge technique is 【9】.

Lightman often uses the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n)【10】. This is often used in polygraph exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual weapon is mentioned.
