26、   When memory began for me, my grandfather (“Gramp”) was past sixty. The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never reduced his humor or his love of a joke. Everywhere he went, Gramp made friends easily. At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give orders, but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions.

One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said: “Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.” Then he drove away with his horses. The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the horses to get their drink.

“How many potatoes did you pick up?” Gramp inquired. “I didn’t pick any.” “Not any! Why?” “You said I could pick them up if I wanted to. You didn’t say I had to.” In the next few minutes, I learned a lesson I will not forget: when Gramp said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.

My grandmother (“Gram”) worked hard all day, washing clothes, cleaning the house, making butter, and even working in the field when help was scarce. In the evening, though, she was not too tired to read books from the community library. For more than forty years, Gram read aloud to Gramp almost every evening. In this way, she and Gramp learned about all the great battles of history and became familiar with the works of great authors and the lives of famous men.

She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five and had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful pattern on the dishes gave her pleasure. The birds, the flowers, the clouds –– all that was beautiful around her –– pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who used to gather grass and show it to his son, saying, “See how beautiful this is!”

In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents, managed to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about Gramp according to the passage?

A．He wouldn’t listen to others.

B．He was difficult to get along with.

C．He gave his suggestions in the form of orders.

D．He was eager to learn.

【2】According to the author, “softer qualities” DON’T include the ability ________.

A．to earn a living.

B．to find beauty in everyday life.

C．to stay curious about new things.

D．to stay positive in a world of daily struggle.

【3】In the days of the writer’s grandparents ________.

A．“softer qualities” were thought necessary but often ignored.

B．“harder qualities” were much harder to keep than “softer qualities”.

C．average people found it a piece of cake to earn a living.

D．not all people understood how to appreciate beauty in life.

【4】What’s the most suitable title for the passage?

A．Life of My Grandparents.

B．Harder Qualities VS Softer Qualities.

C．Stay Soft in a Hard World.

D．An Unforgettable Person.

27、Every little bit helps

Depression is a common illness worldwide, with an estimated 3.8% of the population affected, including 5.0% among adults and 5.7% among adults older than 60 years. 【1】 . Depression is different from usual mood fluctuations and short­lived emotional responses to challenges in everyday life. 【2】 , depression may become a serious health condition. It can cause the affected person to suffer greatly and function poorly at work, at school and in the family. 【3】 , looked at 15 studies involving over 190,000 people to determine how much exercise was needed to reduce depression. Adults who did activities equivalent to 1.25 hours of brisk walking per week had an 18% lower risk of depression compared with those who did not exercise, the study said. Moving up to an "activity volume equivalent to 2.5 hours of brisk walking per week was associated with 25% lower risk of depression," the study authors said. The benefits were strongest when a person transitioned from being a couch potato to adding movement to the day, the study said. 【4】 . "Our findings therefore have important new implications for health practitioners making lifestyle recommendations . 【5】   ," the authors wrote.

28、A young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus.

29、Film director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.

In 2012, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film, named James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D.

In James Cameron’s fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colors and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.

Cameron captured(获取)the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.

James Cameron’s Deep—sea Challenger 3D tells the story of Cameron’ s journey. It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean’S greatest depths.

31、请根据所学课文以及所给的首字母（部分词汇）的提示用完整形式填空。

People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can【1】 this question if you study British history.

First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people 【2】 to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to “Great Britain”. Happily this was 【3】 without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack.

To their 【4】 the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the 【5】 and international relations), but they still have very different institutions. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!

England is the largest of the four countries, and for 【6】 it is divided roughly into three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North. You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England. Although, 【7】, these cities are not as large as those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors. For historical 【8】 you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture.

The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings. It is the center of national government and its 【9】. It has the oldest port built by the Romans in the first century AD, the oldest building begun by the Anglo-Saxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle constructed by later Norman rulers in 1066. There has been four sets of invaders of England. The first invaders, the Romans, left their towns and roads. The second, the Anglo-Saxons, left their language and their government. The third, the Vikings, influenced the 【10】 and place-names of the North of England, and the fourth, the Normans, left castles and introduced new words for food.

If you look around the British countryside you will find evidence of all these invaders. You must keep your eyes open if you are going to make your trip to the United Kingdom enjoyable and worthwhile.
