26、A man steps on what seems like solid ground but discovers with horror that the ground is giving way beneath his feet. The man struggles desperately, but he is trapped. He cannot escape. Slowly he sinks deeper and deeper until at last he is gone, buried in the treacherous earth. The solid ground was solid only in appearance. It was actually quicksand, which is a deep mass of fine sand mixed with water.

How is quicksand formed? Water pushes up from below the surface and is held by the sand. The grains of sand are forced apart by the water. They cannot hold any weight. The subsurface water may have come from a spring, a river or a stream. Sometimes pools of water near beaches become filled with sand. When the soil under these pools does not allow for good drainage(排水), the sand can become stretches of quicksand.

Is it true that a man who steps into quicksand is doomed to(注定) die? No, for men have fought their way from quicksand to firm land again. It is panic(恐慌) that creates the condition that can result in death, for the more a person struggles, the worse matters become. Quick movements will make the sand give way temporarily(临时地), but then it rushes and settles solidly around the body. A man trapped in quicksand should either lie back, or not move at all, except to stretch out his arms. When the weight of the sand his body has displaced equals his weight, he will stop sinking. With feet held still, and with slow movements of the arms, as in the backstroke in swimming men can manage to roll to safety and reach firm ground.

【1】What is quicksand?

A. A piece of solid ground mixed with water.

B. A pool near the beach filled with water.

C. A deep mass of fine sand mixed with water.

D. A piece of sinking land in the water.

【2】The underlined part “giving way” in the first paragraph probably means ________.

A. shaking and moving

B. allowing others to be first

C. rising to the top

D. breaking or breaking into pieces

【3】A person stops sinking when the weight of his body is ________ that of the sand his body has displaced.

A. greater than    B. the same as

C. half of     D. close to

【4】Men can manage to reach firm ground by ________.

A. holding feet still and moving arms slowly

B. lying back calmly and moving arms frequently

C. stretching out arms and swimming quickly

D. swimming quickly and moving arms slowly

27、Japan has a population of 127 million. Tokyo is the largest city and holds one third of the population in the country. There are thousands of people passing by in a minute at the center of the busiest crossing in the city. At weekends, the supermarkets and subway stations are crowded with people.

Japan's government is considering a new way to get people to consider life outside Tokyo: Pay them to leave.

According to a report from NHK on Nov. 22, if someone decides to move from the 23 blocks of Tokyo and find jobs somewhere else, the government will think about giving as much as 3 million yuan to people. The population is increasing all the time in Tokyo and the areas around the city even though the whole population of Japan reduces. That's often been at the cost of other cities. The number of people moving to Tokyo has exceeded the number moving out for 22 years and the number counting. Nearly one out of every three people in Japan lives in the Tokyo area.

In the past several years, Japan's government has taken many measures to encourage people to keep away from the capital. for example, help build smaller population areas. Some local governments have used tax cuts to encourage companies to leave the Tokyo area, while others will pay them to leave.

But Japan's large government institutions, its top schools, as well as companies all lie in Tokyo, leaving the capital seems to be a day dream for most Japanese.

【1】What's the population of Tokyo?

A．About 127 million.

B．About 42 million.

C．About 31 million.

D．About 127 hundred million.

【2】What does the underlined word “people” refer to?

A．The people who live in Tokyo.

B．The people who work in Tokyo.

C．The people who leave for Tokyo.

D．The people who move out of Tokyo.

【3】What do you think of Japan's “Pay them to leave”?

A．Useless.

B．Helpful.

C．Boring.

D．Easy.

【4】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Japanese in Tokyo can get as much as tax cuts.

B．Most Japanese will still live and work in Tokyo.

C．“Pay them to leave” is popular among Japanese.

D．Japan's government cares nothing about population.

28、When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.
