26、A month went by in this manner, but a month was all I could bear.
The memory of Marguerite accompanied me wherever I went. I had loved that woman — still loved her — too much for her suddenly to mean nothing to me. Whatever feelings I might have for her now, I had to see her again. At once.
…
I knew Marguerite. Meeting me so unexpectedly must have thrown her into a state of great confusion. Probably, she had heard of my departure which had set her mind at rest as to the consequences of our sudden parting. But, seeing me back and coming face to face with me, weak as I was, she had sensed that my return had a purpose, and must have wondered what was going to happen.
If, when I saw her again, Marguerite had been unhappy; if, in taking my revenge (复仇), there had also been some way of helping her then I might well have forgiven her, and would certainly never have dreamed of doing her any harm. But when I saw her again, she was happy, at least on the surface. Another man had ensured her the wealthy life in which I had been unable to keep her. She brought shame both to my pride and my love; she was going to have to pay for what I had suffered.
I could not remain cold to what she did now. It followed that the thing that would hurt her most would be exactly for me to show coldness. Coldness, therefore, was the feeling which I now needed to pretend, not only in her presence but in the eyes of others.
I tried to put a smile on my face, and I went to call on Prudence with whom Marguerite was
staying.
…
Prudence saw me to the door, and I returned to my apartment with tears of anger in my eyes and thirst for revenge in my heart and thought only of finding a way to make the poor creature suffer.

27、Earlier this month, I paid a visit to Baluran National Park in eastern Java with my family. This park, named after a dead volcano, is the only place in Indonesia that looks like an African savanna (热带草原). Therefore, it is called Africa in Indonesia. You can see deer, large water buffalo, small mice, peacocks, eagles, monkeys and much more animals.
When walking in the park, we really had the feeling that we were in Africa. This was mainly due to its climate. The air was hot and dry rather than warm and wet. It was completely different from what I got used to in Indonesia and I was so surprised.
In the park, you will never get bored because the whole neighborhood is full of monkeys. But thesemonkeys are rude and aggressive (好斗的). Monkeys guarded our house and wanted food. When we didn’t give them food, they would rob us of food. So each of us was offered a stick by the rangers (护林员). They taught us that when the monkeys were too aggressive we must lift the stick. And it worked perfectly.
In the late afternoon, we went for a walk to explore the area. On the way, we saw many species of trees that couldn’t be found anywhere else in Indonesia. Soon the sunset approached so we decided to go back. But darkness fell about halfway through the journey. We only had poor light from our phones. And we heard only the sounds of animals around us. It was possible that hungry animals might come close to us and take us as their dinner. We started to feel scared and quickened our steps. Just when we were about to reach our breaking point, we saw a ranger, who comforted us and led us to safety.
In the evening, we talked with the ranger about his life in Baluran. And after dinner, he invited us to fish with him at sunrise. We really had a great time in the park, and I always look forward to coming back and experiencing all the excitements again.
【1】What do we learn about Baluran National Park?
A.It is a great place for wild animals.
B.It is located in the middle of Africa.
C.Tourists find its climate very pleasant.
D.Tourists usually visit it for its volcano.
【2】Why was each member of the author’s family offered a stick?
A.To help them walk easily.
B.To drive away unfriendly monkeys.
C.To play games with monkeys.
D.To use it to give monkeys food.
【3】What made the author and her family quicken their steps?
A.The anxiety to charge their phones.
B.The desire to tell the rangers about their adventure.
C.The worry about being robbed at night.
D.The fear of being attacked by wild animals.
【4】Why does the author write the passage?

28、I’m losing my hair. Don’t feel sorry. It will not be an explanation on how depressing it is that my body is submitting to the damages of time. It’s just a fact, and, honestly, I’m fine with it. Don’t get me wrong: had this happened when I was 25, I would have rushed to an Istanbul clinic with credit cards faster than you could say “Elton”. I would have had a baseball cap glued to my scalp (头皮). But I’m 40 now.
Hairdressers used to praise me on my “thick hair”, however, they’d make no obvious difference to my lion-like hairs. Therefore, this raises a question: why am I still spending £50 getting my hair cut? The answer to this is, I suppose, “habit”. But if the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that even our fundamental behaviors can be transformed when necessary. For decades, I’ve frequented salons (美发厅). I enjoyed the air conditioning and the coffee. But really, all I require these days is a short back and sides. So, for the first time, I’ve started going to my local barbershop. And… it’s great! For one thing, you don’t need to book an appointment.
The two guys are friendly, yet also business-like. Best of all, the cut costs £15, and my hair looks exactly the same as when it was done in the salon. The first time my barber placed a wet towel over my nose and mouth, I’ve come to appreciate the feeling of a freshly-shaved jaw. So yes, my hair is thinning: I am older. But also, I believe, wiser.
【1】What do we know about the author from paragraph1?
A.He has a lot of credit cards.
B.He is fine with his thinner hair now.
C.He feels upset about losing his hair.
D.He likes gluing a baseball cap to his scalp.
【2】Why does the author reject the salons he’s frequented?
A.Because the salons charge too much.
B.Because he wants to change his hairstyle.
C.Because the hairdressers make his hair lion-like.
D.Because he has no habit of making appointments.
【3】What does the author think of the local barbershop?
A.Inspiring.
B.Challenging.
C.Satisfying.
D.Disappointing.
【4】What message does the author try to get through to us?
A.It’s wise to accept changes owing to aging.
B.The old are more likely to have thinner hair.
C.Crucial behaviors can be changed if necessary.
D.Salons and barbershops make no big difference.
29、The Legend (传说) of Kung Fu
According to a legend, in the fifth century, an Indian master taught some monks at the Shaolin Temple a series of exercises, or forms, inspired by the movement of animals. These forms became the basis of the style of fighting known as Kung Fu. Over 16 centuries, the monks have used Kung Fu for self-defense and in war. With it, they have won many battles against their enemies.
In Dengfeng today, ten kilometers from the Shaolin Temple, there are over 60 martial arts (武术) schools with more than 50,000 students. Students come to the schools for a variety of reasons. Some hope to become movie stars. Others come to learn skills that will ensure good jobs in the military or police force. A few are sent by their parents to learn self-control and hard work.
Master Hu Zhengsheng teaches at a small school in Dengfeng. Recently, he was offered an important role in a Kung Fu movie. It could have been good publicity for his school. However, he did not accept. He doesn't agree with how Kung Fu is often shown in movies. He feels they show too much violence.
Unlike many large schools, which teach acrobatics (特技) and kickboxing, Hu teaches his students traditional Kung Fu forms. He teaches them the way his master — a Shaolin legend taught him. But attracting new students to this style of Kung Fu has become a problem. Hu is afraid his art will soon die out. He has to remind his students that Kung Fu was designed for fighting, not to entertain.
Hu’s students have little. They sleep in unheated rooms and train outside no matter what the temperature. They hit trees with their bare hands and take turns sitting on each other’s shoulders to build leg strength. Why such hardship? To master Kung Fu, they must learn respect, and how to “eat bitterness”, a Mandarin (普通话) expression meaning “to endure suffering”. The life of a Shaolin master, Hu teaches, is not easy or attractive.
Master Hu is in a difficult position. For old traditions to survive, the young must learn. Gradually, he had begun offering a few courses in kickboxing and the acrobatic Kung Fu forms, hoping to attract new students. Then, maybe, he’ll be able to convince them to learn Shaolin Kung Fu the traditional way.
【1】What is true about Kung Fu?
A.It’s over 17 centuries old.
B.It was traditionally used for fighting.
C.It was introduced to China from Thailand.
D.It was originally designed to entertain people.
【2】What is the purpose of the third paragraph?
A.To show why Hu teaches acrobatics and kickboxing.
B.To convince people that they can be rich and famous.
C.To explain the challenges traditional Kung Fu schools face.
D.To show how Hu’s ideas about Kung Fu are different from other teachers.
【3】In the fifth paragraph, the underlined words “endure suffering” mean _________.
A.stop the suffering B.make someone suffer
C.survive the suffering D.make the suffering worse
【4】Why does the passage mention Hu Zhengsheng?
A.He is a Kung Fu student learning kickboxing.
B.He is a Kung Fu master preserving old traditions.
C.He is the man who introduced Kung Fu to China.
D.He is a famous actor in an exciting Kung Fu movie.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Compean was no stranger to Angeles National Forest. He’d hiked the park near his home in Southern Califonia numerous times. But after exploring along a new path last April, the 45-year-old mechanic was lost.
As the day faded into dusk, following several hours of aimless wandering, his concern turned to fear. The place was remote and rough. With no flashlight, only a little water and a power bar in his backpack, and less than ten percent battery remaining on his cell phone, Compean was unprepared for anything more than the two-hour journey he’d planned.
Compean climbed to a spot, some 7,000 feet above sea level, where he found at least one bar of signal. “SOS. My phone is going to die. I’m lost.” he texted a friend, attaching a photo showing where he was.
All Compean could do then was wait and hope. The temperature was dropping fast, and the winds were becoming stronger. Wearing little, Compean was chilled to the bone. He hugged himself into a tight ball, using his backpack to protect his bare legs. But he wouldn’t sleep. After spotting two mountain lions and a bear, he spent the night on high alert, keeping a big stick and some sharp rocks beside him in case an animal came close.
Sixty miles away in Ventura County, Ben Kuo was working at home when he read a Tweet from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The Sheriffs’ search-and-rescue teams had spent the previous night unsuccessfully looking for Compean, so they released the message to the public, hoping someone might know the location.
Kuo, then 47, works in the tech industry, and he has an unusual hobby: “I have always loved looking for where photos are taken,” he says. When he saw the unclear image of Compean’s legs surrounded by an endless landscape of rocks and plants, he instinctively pulled up a satellite map on his laptop. Since the Sheriff’s Department said Compean’s car was parked near Buckhom Campground, he soon narrowed his search to a possible location. The final step was comparing the original photo with the 3-D images of that place from Google Earth.
