26、At 1,345 meters above sea level, Ben Nevis is not the world’s most difficult mountain to climb. But things get considerably tricky if instead of hiking shoes you put on a pair of 5-inch high heels, especially if you’re a guy. One English teenager recently proved that it was not impossible.

Ben Conway, a 19-year-old art student from London, recently took up the challenge as a way to stand out in an application for a scholarship for the School of Communication Arts in Brixton. He started his unusual high-heel climb at 8 a.m., on June 27, and was joined by Callum MacKenzie Allen, a friend from his art foundation year, who videotaped the whole thing for a two-minute video that was used as his application project. The whole climb took five hours and wasn’t the smoothest experience.

Halfway up Ben Nevis, one of his shoes broke, so he had to tape the shoes to his feet to make sure they stayed on. The weather didn’t make it easy for him either, as he claimed that it rained pretty much the whole time, and he had to go against 40 to 50 miles an hour winds. Due to these difficult conditions, Ben and his friend had to turn back after reaching 900 meters up the mountain.

Besides providing a unique art school application project, the high-heel climb also allowed the 19-year-old to raise some money for worthy causes (事业), like Sal’s Shoes, which provides footwear for barefoot children around the world.

“Raising money for charity brings happiness to people’s lives and if I can do something ridiculous and bring someone happiness, then that’s what it’s all about.” Ben said.

【1】Which can replace the underlined word “tricky” in Paragraph 1?

A．pleasant

B．boring.

C．difficult

D．interesting.

【2】Why did Allen videotape the high-heel climb for Ben?

A．To prove nothing is impossible.

B．To record a special experience.

C．To develop their friendship.

D．To assist in Ben’s application.

【3】What does Paragraph 3 focus on?

A．The difficulties in the climb.

B．The climbing way.

C．The terrible weather.

D．The unexpected things.

【4】Which word can best describe Ben’s story?

A．Confusing.

B．Inspiring.

C．Exciting.

D．Frightening.

28、   Mother’s Day was coming. Anna really wanted to get her mom something special. In the first grade, Anna made a card for her mom. In the second grade, she wrote her a poem. But now she was in the third grade. Anna thought her mom would want a real gift from a store.

Anna went to a store near her house. That was where she could get her mom’s gift. She saw a beautiful hat, but it was 15 dollars.

She bought nothing because nothing that she wanted was less than 12 dollars.

Anna walked home sadly. She got an idea. She took out some paper and a pencil, and made some cards. On each card, she wrote a thing that she would do for her mom. On one card she wrote, “I will help you make dinner.” On another one she wrote, “I will clean the house and do laundry (洗衣服).” She wrote eight more and put the cards under her bed. She didn’t want her mom to see them before the special day.

29、Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effort than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe , people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce other meals.

A．the importance of breakfast

C．breakfast will make you clever

D．breakfast is more important than other meals

【2】During the test, those who were tested were given ________.

A．no breakfast at all

B．very rich breakfast

32、According to a new study by a Chinese newspaper, many young Chinese people are forgetting how to write their traditional Chinese characters. It is quite common that most Chinese school children grow up remembering more than 3,000 Chinese characters. However, the study shows they seldom need to write them by hand and are forgetting these characters. Instead, young people today are using their mobile phones and computers to write in a system called “pinyin” on the key board. A list of characters then appears on the screen for the writer to pick out the right one. The report said 83% of the 2,072 respondents (调查对象) have problems writing characters, while 43% said they only write when they need to sign something.

The problem is that they often take up their pens and forget the characters. Chinese characters are the oldest writing system in use in the world. They date back over 3,000 years. University student Li Hanwei, 21, said, “I can remember the shape, but I can’t remember the strokes (笔划) when I need to write it. It’s a bit of a problem. ” The phenomenon is common in China as well as in Japan, where Chinese characters are also used in writing.
