26、   I like staying overnight at my granny Ruiz’s house until she starts telling me how wonderful my cousin Maya is. Then it’s Maya this and Maya that until I don’t ever want to hear another word about her.

That’s why I wasn’t too excited when granny called me to “come on over”. When I got there, it was worse than I expected. Maya sat there, all dressed up.

Maya was taller than I’d remembered her from her last visit four years ago. She was talking about how nice to see me again. But I could tell that she didn’t really think so.

I couldn’t remember what it was I didn’t like about her. The last time she was there, we’d had hours of fun together. After that, I’d heard about her only through granny’s tales. Now Maya looked great with the latest haircut and a beautiful dress. I glanced down at my jeans and sneakers. It was bad enough that she was granny’s favorite-smarter and more talented than I was-but elegant, too? This was too much.

Maya’s words crashed through my thoughts, “I hear you like skating,” I was surprised, wondering how she knew about my skating.

“I hear you take piano lessons,” I countered. A funny look crossed her face and she nodded.

“I hear you were captain of your softball team,” she said.

“Wait a minute,” I said. “How do you know this?”

Maya shrugged and looked down. “I hear about you all the time from granny’s letters.”

“Granny tells me about you all the time, too!” I said. “I even know you wear a size-three shoe!”

Maya laughed. I also smiled, knowing now that granny had two favorites.

【1】We can infer that the author felt ______ every time granny talked about Maya.

A.excited B.curious

C.surprised D.uncomfortable

【2】Which of the following statements is NOT true?

B.They both knew a lot about each other through their granny.

C.Maya was happy about the get-together but the author wasn’t.

D.The author loved sports, such as skating and playing softball.

【3】What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Fun Time with Maya B.Granny’s Favorite

C.Our Loving Granny D.A Surprise Get-together

27、My first visit to Angkor Wat was in 1980. The country had been at war for many years and the temple was deserted and falling to pieces. Plants were growing out of the roofs, and trees were growing in the courtyards.

Today, the temple is the scene of a busy repair programme. A team of 15 Indian experts are organizing a workforce of 400 Cambodians, most of them women, who are cleaning, repairing and rebuilding parts of this temple.

As I walked through the courtyards, I noticed the Cambodian women devote hours to cleaning carefully a tiny area of stone. Boards are laid down to protect the precious painted stones while the repair work is going on. There are very few machines and little heavy equipment. Workers carry building materials in buckets at the end of long poles. Piles of stones lie in a corner of the courtyard, waiting to be replaced.

The work of cleaning the stones is watched over by three Indian chemists. It is a very slow task. First they clean the stones with brushes using buckets of a weak chemical. Then gaps between the stones are filled in. Finally another material is painted onto the stones which will protect them from water forever.

Work starts every day at 7 a. m. and goes on until late afternoon six days a week, with a break at midday.

Evening is the best time to visit the temple, after the tour groups have left. As the sun sinks lower, shadows spread across the courtyard. After sunset, the sky turns pink. The grey stone towers take on a golden colour before turning pink. Nowhere else in the world can there be such a quiet, beautiful place.

【1】This passage mainly tells__________

A. the poor look of the temple Angkor Wat in 1980.

B. the history of the temple Angkor Wat

C. the repair work being done to the temple Angkor Wat

D. the difficulty in the repair work

【2】According to the author, which of the following plays the least important role in the repair work?

A. The women workers.   B. The Indian workers

C. Machines   D. Skilled workers

【3】The underlined sentence “the temple was deserted” possibly means that________

A. there was no one in the temple and it was in a poor state

B. the temple was built on desert and nobody noticed it

C. the temple was very old with a long history

D. the temple was repaired by the Cambodians, most of whom women

【4】To clean the stone, how many steps should be followed?

A. Tow   B. Three

C. Four   D. Five

29、Years ago, I owned the very best dog in the world. I was a child when we got her. She grew up with me, and was always there when I needed her. She died during one of my college vacations. My heart broke then, and I knew that there would never be another dog like her.

However, I was wrong. My next dog came into my life when I was married. My husband traveled for a living, and I was often lonely. This dog taught me to be patient. He always stayed at my side until the children were born, and then he became their guardian (保护者), too. When he passed away, my heart broke. I was sure I would never love another dog as much as I loved him.

I was wrong again. We got the next one when the children were little. When he played with the children, he made them laugh. These days he spends more time with me since the children aren’t around so much. He is, of course, the very best dog in the world.

I wonder if that’s part of the lessen: to teach us that love has a spirit that returns again and again and never really dies.

I was walking down the road one day when my phone rang. A child’s voice on the other end spoke to me, “Dad, please come back soon. I miss you so much!” I thought that it was a wrong number. A short while later, the call came once again, so I rudely answered, “You’ve called the wrong number!” and then hung up.

During the following days, I often got the same call. But I didn’t care much about it. Then one day she kept calling me, though I didn’t answer. Finally I answered the phone and heard a weak voice, “Dad, please come back. I miss you so much! Dad, I’m in so much pain! Mom said you were too busy to take care of me. But, dad, please kiss me again, ok?” It was difficult to refuse the innocent request. I made a sweet kiss on the phone and heard the weak voice say,   “Thank you...Dad, I am so...happy, so...happy...”

Shortly after this, I became curious about who had been on the other end of my phone.
