26、   Selena Gomez and I were scheduled to meet at a low-key coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e-mails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.

After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.

Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up-both as a person (she turned 20 in July) and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”

Selena has been working full time since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney & Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now.

【1】When did Selena arrive at the low-key coffee shop?

A.At 10:00.

B.At 9:10.

C.At 8:50.

D.At 9:30.

【2】The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means   .

A.unconcerned

B.graceful

C.not easily seen

D.always thinking of others

【3】We can learn from Paragraph 2 that   .

A.three famous films made in 2012 have shown her teen style

B.Selena went into her film career as soon as we met in the coffee shop

C.each of the three films marks Selena's move away from her teen style

D.the film Hotel Transylvania is an action flick made in 2012

【4】What did Selena think of Disney days which were behind her?

A.She thought of playing in Disney as an unstable point in her career.

B.She considered her being part of the Disney Channel a blessing.

C.She didn't feel very satisfied with her show in Disney.

D.She found herself not accomplished in her performance in Disney.

27、   In many countries around the world, more and more people live in cities. Cities share many similar things, but are also different from country to country.

MEXICO

Mexico s cities are modem but have many traditional Indian and Spanish things. The most important buildings are around a central square, which is also a place to meet with friends. There are outdoor marketplaces, where people can find almost anything they need. On Sundays, parks are popular places for families. Many people move to Mexico City from the countryside. It has a lot of excitements, but also lots of traffic and air pollution.

JAPAN

Japan s cities also have a mix of traditional and modern things. There are tall office and apartment buildings as well as traditional wooden houses. Many people would like to live near the center of cities, but because houses there are too expensive, they have to take public buses or trains from faraway places. Traffic, pollution, and crowds are problems. However, there is little crime, and even very crowded cities have many parks and gardens.

AUSTRALIA

Although 80% of Australians live near cities, the cities are not as large as those in some other countries. Most people live in houses in the outer area of the cities—not in apartment. The areas also have their own churches, schools, and shopping centers. In large cities, like Sydney, the areas are often far from the center town. Though many people take public buses and trains to work, traffic is slow and there are many traffic jams.

【1】People in Mexico can go to ________ to get what they need.

A.outdoor marketplaces B.the central square

C.the park D.the countryside

【2】Many Japanese people prefer to live in the center of the cities but they can’t because ________.

A.it is too crowded to live there B.houses there are too expensive

C.they like taking buses or trains D.it’s too noisy to live there

【3】What makes the cities in Australia different from other cities in the world?

A.Many people like to live in apartment in city areas.

B.Many people like to live in outer areas around cities.

C.Lots of people like to live in the center of large cities.

D.The traffic is very slow and there are always traffic jams.

28、   I speak Spanish, because I was born in Spain. But then at primary school I had to learn Russian, and at high school, I was taught how to speak German. But I always wanted to speak English.

At last I came to America. Everywhere there was English! But even if I heard and felt its presence, it was hard for me to understand it and express myself in it. The few lessons of English that I had taken in Spain gave me only a chance to introduce myself, and I didn’t even know how to buy things and ask directions.

To talk to somebody, I went to a high school to take a course in English for foreigners. Disappointingly, it took almost an hour to get through the process of introducing ourselves. Everyone had to learn something that I had already known from my books – the English alphabet (字母表) and numbers. I thought it was a waste of time, so I quit.

After a month, I tried again, but this time at college. After 15 minutes of introducing ourselves, a teacher gave us a lecture about the history of English. Then we were told that it was very important to know English in an English-speaking country. It took three hours for the teacher to tell us this. Again, I quit.

But I didn’t stop looking for something or someone that would help me to achieve my goal, and I found a tutor from Literacy Volunteers of America. But I still wasn’t happy with the classes. And when it was my turn to give a speech, I was happy to use all the long, complicated words that I had learned from one of my English books. When I had finished, my tutor said “Well, I think I have to learn English before coming to teach you!” This time, the tutor quit!

【1】How many languages has the writer learned?

A.Two. B.Four.

C.Three. D.Five.

【2】Why did the author leave the high school?

A.Because no one wanted to talk to him.

B.Because everyone had to learn the English alphabet and numbers.

C.Because the lessons were too easy.

D.Because the courses were prepared for the natives.

【3】Which of the following words can be used to describe the writer?

A.happy. B.crazy.

C.serious. D.friendly.

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

A.The writer learnt many foreign languages.

B.The writer tested the teachers’ English abilities.

C.The writer researched different ways of learning English.

D.The writer tried to look for a proper way to learn English.

29、   The different parts of a health-care system have different focuses. A hospital’s stroke unit monitors blood flow in the brain. The cardiac (心脏的) unit is interested in that same flow, but through and from the heart. The data is effective in its own field, but for the most part has little relevance to other bits of the body and conditions.

Apart from all this, the instruments that doctors use to monitor health are often expensive, as is the training required to operate them. That combined cost is too high for the medical system to scan regularly, for early signs of illness.

A research project called AlzEye, run from Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, may change this. It is attempting to use the eye as a window through which to detect signals about the health of other organs. The doctors in charge of it, Siegfried Wagner and Pearse Keane, are linking Moorfields’ database of eye scans, which offer a detailed picture of the health of the retina (视网膜), with information about other aspects of its patients’ health collected from other hospitals around England.

The data set includes every one of the 300,000 patients who visited Moorfields between 2008 and 2018 and was over the age of 40. The idea is to examine changes to people’s eyes within that ten-year period, and link these with, say, the appearance of Alzheimer’s disease in the same patient.

Drs Wagner and Keane are searching for patterns in the eye that betray the appearance of disease elsewhere in the body, and are focusing first on Alzheimer’s disease. They will seek such patterns with the help of algorithms (程序) that can spot far tinier variations. They may, it should be remembered, never find such patterns. Although there is evidence that the back of the eye does change as its owner develops Alzheimer’s, it may be that the changes are too small to be detected reliably enough for diagnosis (诊断). If such patterns could be recognized reliably, though, the potential impact would be huge. Even in rich countries, between 50% and 80% of Alzheimer’s cases go undiagnosed. Moreover, even if the technique does not work for Alzheimer’s, it might work for something else. Dr Wagner and Dr Keane therefore plan further searches for patterns related to strokes and heart disease. Even one relevant pattern would contain a remarkable diagnostic leap forward.

If it does work, the technique the two researchers are recommending will be cheap to carry out. An indication of how cheap is the project’s total budget of just £15,000. Also, the equipment and algorithms to perform an eye scan are available to anyone, through cloud-computing services like Google and Amazon.

【1】What is the disadvantage of the traditional way to monitor health?

A.Doctors are only interested in their own fields.

B.It can’t find early signs of illness effectively.

C.It can’t offer all-around health information.

D.Hospitals can’t afford the equipment and training.

【2】Drs Wagner and Keane use eye scans to _______.

A.decide whether the patients’ retinas are healthy

B.compare Moorfields’ database with other hospitals’

C.find the connections between eye changes and disease

D.explore the use of algorithms in detecting Alzheimer’s

【3】The underlined word “betray” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _______.

A.change B.show

C.cause D.prevent

【4】What do we learn about the AlzEye project?

A.It examines the lifelong changes to 300,000 patients’ eyes.

B.It can correctly diagnose Alzheimer’s cases by scanning eyes.

C.It may be applied in finding other diseases besides Alzheimer’s.

D.It provides cloud-computing services with Google and Amazon.

30、   We hear between 10 and 200 lies every day, from “Sorry, my phone was dead” to “I’m fine.” And just by listening to simple linguistic _______, we could easily discover them, claim scientists and linguistics experts.

Studies have shown that stories based on _______ experiences are different from those based on real experiences, suggesting that coming up with a lie takes work and thus _______ a different pattern of language use.

In a TED Talk, Noah Zanden, a science communicator and chief executive of Quantified Communications based in Austin, Texas, explained how “linguistic text analysis”—which is based on the difference between how we _______the truth and lies--- can help people spot untruths.

There are four common patterns in the subconscious language of lying. Zanden explained that liars typically _______themselves less and talk more about others in a lie than usual. They sometimes use the third person to _________ themselves from their lie, because they subconsciously feel guilty. For the same reason, liars tend to be more _______. “For example, a liar might say, ‘Sorry, my stupid phone battery died. I hate that thing,’”Zanden said. People can also spot a lie when someone explains events using very _______ words. Our brains struggle to build a complex false story, which means that explanations about events that didn’t happen seem _______ straightforward. ________, although liars may keep their story simple, they tend to use longer and more complicated sentences, __________unrelated but factual sounding details to make their story sound more believable, he said.

Experts say that the patterns can be seen in famous ________. For example, when seven-time winner of the Tour de France, Lance Armstrong, ________using performance-enhancing drugs in 2005, he described an unreal situation ________ someone else to disassociate himself from his lie. In contrast, when he admitted to using them in 2013, his use of first-person pronouns increased by nearly three quarters, ________that he was telling the truth. He talked about his focus on personal emotions and motivations.

【1】A.forms B.clues C.methods D.lies

【2】A.personal B.daily C.imagined D.practical

【3】A.leads to B.concentrates on C.slows down D.squeezes out

【4】A.cover B.balance C.attempt D.structure

【5】A.mention B.impress C.confuse D.praise

【6】A.keep B.hide C.steal D.distance

【7】A.subtle B.understanding C.negative D.hostile

【8】A.magical B.simple C.complex D.honest

【9】A.unrealistically B.irregularly C.originally D.imperfectly

【10】A.For instance B.Therefore C.Moreover D.However

【11】A.applying for B.letting down C.adding in D.bursting in

【12】A.sports B.crimes C.reports D.lies

【13】A.avoided B.denied C.tolerated D.released

【14】A.explained to B.created by C.focused on D.remedied by

【15】A.signaling B.considering C.ensuring D.overlooking

32、阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。

It was late spring When my mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom. However, little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.

A pot of flowers satin he back seat, whose pleasant smell filled the car . Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over. “What are you doing? “I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there, so far from home. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat. “It’ll just be a minute, ”she called back through the open windows.

Impatiently, I cast my eyes towards the edge of the road before they settled on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared empty-handed.

Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, “Do you know someone there?” She shook her head. “Then what did you do with the flowers?” She smiled slightly, “I gave them to the receptionist（前台接待员）. ”“What？”She laughed at my confusion. “I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially those who haven’t received any in a while. ”

I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we went on with our driving, I spoke again, “Did you leave your name? “To this she answered instantly, “No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me. ”

Suddenly, still thinking about Mom’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn’t know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passerby, since we had seen so few along the way.
