26、   To get a well-paid job after graduation，many Chinese students like to chose science such as engineering and computer programming. Meanwhile，humanities majors(人文专业)are often let out in the cold.

Even in the United States，the past decade has seen fewer college students taking humanities as a major since the 2008 financial crisis，according to an article published by The Atlantic in August. Instead，more and more students study science majors，such as engineering，computer science，and biology. According to the US Department of Education，exercise science，nursing，and computer science are among the fastest growing majors in 2017.

The change of students' preference of majors could be because they care more about finding a better job after the financial crisis，reported The Atlantic. Many believe humanities majors don't allow them to find a good job，while science majors could help them land a good job.

“It's really no surprise that they want to pay more attention to the career pathways they are likely to get into with a particular credential(证书).And we are seeing that reflected in our employee numbers，"Greg Summers，professor at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the US，told Inside Higher Education.

However，humanities majors are believed to have their own advantages.“Humanities majors encourage analysis，critical thinking，and a good knowledge of various topics. These majors look deeper into varied texts that influence media，culture，society，literature，and politics，"according to Huff Post.

While students who majored in humanities may earn less than science majors when they just graduate from college，humanities majors will gradually catch up，according to a 2018 report by the American Academy of Arts & Science.

To say the least，your life isn't completely decided by your major."Not every software engineer is successful，and not every philosophy(哲学)major is unemployed. One’s major does not determine one's future，"commented Huff Post.

【1】More and more college students take science majors rather than humanities majors because ______.

A.they are more interested in science majors

B.humanities majors are of no practical value

C.science majors can help them find a good job

D.many countries suffered the 2008 financial crisis

【2】Paragraph 6 is intended to tell us that______.

A.not every science major can mean a good job for students

B.humanities majors will bring more chances to college students in the future

C.the number of college students taking humanities majors will gradually rise

D.college students taking humanities majors will gradually earn more in the long term

【3】The purpose of the passage is to _____.

A.give college students advice on choosing majors

B.encourage more students to take humanities majors

C.inform students of the advantages of science majors

D.tell the difference between science and humanities majors

27、   Actor Kirk Douglas, who was in Hollywood’s golden age, died on February 5th, 2020. He was 103 years old. His son, actor Michael Douglas said, “To the world he was a legend, a humanitarian (人道主义者), an actor who lived from the golden age of movies well into his golden years.”

Born on December 9th, 1916, in Amsterdam, New York, Douglas changed his name to Kirk Douglas before entering the Navy during World War II. Before serving in the war, he made his Broadway debut (首秀) in the musical Spring Again. After he left the Navy in 1944, he returned to act in New York in the theater, commercials and radio.

By the late 1940s and early 1950s, Douglas had turned to film and began to be a box office heavyweight. Champion, the 1949 film about a boxer, earned him his first Oscar nomination (提名). He acted in several Westerns throughout his career, beginning with 1951’s Along the Great Duide. He also applied his service experience in Hollywood films such as Top Secret Affair, Paths of Glory and Seven Days in May. Douglas was perhaps best known for his leading role in 1960’s Spartacus, which he also produced. He was also praised for his more lighthearted role in 20,000 Leagues under the Sea.

The Hollywood great was nominated for Academy Awards three times throughout his career, and was presented with an honorary Oscar in 1996. In the same year he suffered a stroke, seriously damaging his ability to speak. However, it never kept him out of the public eye. Following recovery, Douglas wrote a book My Stroke of Luck in which he said his life changed for the better. He wrote several other books, including three memoirs (回忆录). Douglas also returned to the screen three years later in the films Diamonds. It Runs in the Family and Before I Forget.

28、When we think of 10-year-old girls, the first things that come to mind may be ballet, kitchen science experiments and crazy photo faces. There’s a special bond between young girls and their moms before life fills up with more demanding schoolwork, career choices and the stress of being a grown-up.

For Joyce Phillips, taking on adult emotions came sooner than expected. Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when Joyce was 10 years old. The thought of losing her mother at such a young age must have been troubling Joyce. But instead of waiting out the process on the sidelines, Joyce decided to join the fight against cancer so that other kids wouldn’t have to experience the pain she was going through.

Joyce loves to sew. She wanted to make something to sell and also advertise her need for help. While trying to piece together a solution, she hit upon the ubiquitous coffee cup. People everywhere seem to be on the go in the morning with their cup of take-out coffee. So Joyce designed a coffee cup sleeve and created her nonprofit Cozys for the Cure. It was a hit. Today, Joyce has raised over $120,000 to help fund breast cancer research. It all started with a desire to help. She lets us know each of us has the ability to make a difference, no matter how old or how young.

Joyce’s mother won her fight with cancer, but unfortunately, many more women and mothers will be affected. With kids like Joyce in their corner, perhaps the next best treatment will come a little sooner, save a few more lives, and means mothers and daughters will have a little more time to have fun together.

B．Visible everywhere.

C．Special.

D．Meaningful.

【3】What is the money raised by Joyce used for?

A．Her mother’s breast cancer.

B．More women and mothers.

C．Doctors who suffer with cancer.

D．The research of breast cancer.

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

A．Turning Waste into Wealth

B．True Love Is Unconquerable

C．Turning Tough News into Hope

D．Time and Tide Wait for No Man

29、Have you always wanted to visit Disney World or Disneyland, but were waiting for different reasons? The happiest place on earth isn’t far out of reach. 【1】.

Disney gets bad fame for raising their ticket prices often. Throughout much of the 2010s, Disney raised fees at almost double the rate of inflation (通货膨化), according to the Wall Street Journal. 【2】. In February 2020, Disneyland, in California, raised prices on its one-day park tickets about 5 percent. This is a rather large price increase because it’s the first time Disneyland park tickets have crossed $200.

When Disney World opened, staying at the Bora Bora Bungalows cost $29 per night. Now it can cost as much as $3,400! 【3】? Disney isn’t hunting for money, with a net income in 2019 of $10.44 billion. But here are some reasons:

【4】
