26、   Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.

“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it.

I think you can find him easily, “Tony said.” You don’t have any luggage, right?” “Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.” “That’s right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”

“Thanks.”

Is Brian a criminal? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.

Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone.

But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!

【1】Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?

A.Because they were the uniform for air couriers. B.Because that made him easier to be recognized.

C.Because his backpack had no room for his clothes. D.because he did not have any luggage with him.

【2】Businesses choose the air-courier service because ______.

A.it costs less B.it is flexible C.it saves time D.it grows fast

【3】One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he ______.

A.cannot decide when and where to travel B.cannot take any luggage with him

C.has to wear two pairs of jeans D.saves little money from the travel

【4】The author of the text mainly ______.

A.describes the activities of a law-breaker B.suggests an ideal way to travel

C.argues against the air-courier travel D.tells us about a developing business

28、   Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son’s soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son’s team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.

With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son’s teammate Mickey O’Donnel. With shouts of “Kick it!” echoing across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸腾). O’Donnel had scored!

Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.

The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, “I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, “Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!” Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.

Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied. “It was a tie. Everybody won.”

【1】What was the result of the soccer match?

A.Two to two, equal to both the teams.

B.Three to one in Mickey’s team’s favor.

C.Two to one in the opposite team’s favor.

D.Nobody won because of Mickey’s goal.

【2】The underlined word “hush” in paragraph 3 means “________”.

C.laughter D.cry

【3】What did the author worry about when Mickey scored and hugged his son?

A.The result would disappoint his son.

B.His son would shout at Mickey for his goal.

C.Mickey would again hug the opposing players.

D.The opposite team would laugh at Mickey’s goal.

【4】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A.both teams liked and respected Mickey

B.both teams were thankful for Mickey’s goal

C.Mickey didn’t mind though his goal was wrong

D.Mickey was a kind-hearted boy and hoped everybody won

【5】The purpose of the author in writing the passage is ________.

A.to tell a joke to make readers laugh

29、It’s time for graduation. A good reflection of high school ought to do you good. You’ll be reminded of how you got here, what you learned, and what experiences were most meaningful to you. 【1】

High school is what you make it. Growing up, I’ve heard adults say, “High school was the best years of my life!” Because of that, I expected to have a great time when I entered freshman year. 【2】 If I also wanted to have the best years of my life, I needed to do things I actually enjoyed doing.

【3】 Our friends and the people we surround ourselves with have a great influence on our beliefs and actions. So we should be careful with the people we allow to enter our lives.

Having like-minded individuals around you is a major part in a great high school experience. This, of course, involves great risk. Finally, it’s all a matter of staying true to what you believe personally and following your moral compass, even in the foggiest conditions.

You are your greatest ally (盟友). No matter how many friends you have, at the end of the day, there’s only one person who really knows the real you: and that’s you. 【4】 It’s in your best interests to become your own best friend, because only then can you really improve and become a better person.

High school teaches you a lot of things — academically, emotionally, socially and realistically. If you’re graduating soon, take some time to reflect on what you’ve learned. 【5】

A．You are who you hang out with.

B．You should learn to befriend who you are.

C．High school leaves you with many meaningful memories.

D．This isn’t meant to put a bad reputation on doing things with friends.

E．You’d be surprised at what lessons you’ll keep coming back to in your future efforts.

F．As a graduating senior, here’s what these past three years of high school have taught me.

G．However, I didn’t realize high school was the best three years of their lives because they made it the best years of their lives.
