26、 You may not like it, but learning English is absolutely necessary if you want to succeed abroad. Not just that, you have to show your knowledge of the English language on one of the two major English proficiency(精通) tests: the IELTS or the TOEFL.
Which test you should take depends on your goal. The TOEFL remains the top exam in the U.S. But the IELTS is gaining ground in the U.S. and it has already been the preferred test in the U.K. and Australia. There are also differences in the test themselves. They both measure the four main language requirements: speaking, reading, writing and listening. However, the tests are very different in their forms and methodology. “Compared with the TOEFL, the IELTS test requires you to actually have a grasp of the language and ability to use it, rather than simply being well prepared for the test,” explained IELTS examiner Julian Fisher.
The key reasons for this are that the IELTS test requires fill-in answers besides multiple choice(选择题), and its speaking section is done with a real examiner instead of a computer. “The face-to-face interview with a trained speaker of English allows for real-life communication, which shows real academic(学业的) and workplace situations, ” said senior exam marketing officer Pang Shuai.
What scores do I need? For the IELTS, a band score of 5 to 7 is fine for the majority of undergraduate and post-graduate programs. For top schools, you will probably need at least a 7. When it comes to the TOEFL , there is a range. It all depends on the colleges. Ordinary schools will let you get by with a score as low as 60. For a top-tier university, on the other hand, you will need to score upward of 100 points on your TOEFL.
【1】What does Paragraph 2 suggest?
A.The TOEFL score is preferred in Australian universities.
B.Universities in the U.K. mainly see students’ IELTS scores.
C.The IELTS is more widely accepted than the TOEFL by US. School.
D.In the U.S., the TOEFL score is not as important as it once was.
【2】Which of the following is a difference between the TOEFL and the IELTS?
A.There are no fill-in answers in the TOEFL tests.
B.The IELTS tests focus more on test-taking skills.
C.The IELTS interviews test-takers on the computer.
D.The TOEFL checks four English skills, while the IELTS doesn’t.
【3】What does Pang Shuai think of the face-to-face interview?
A.More exams should take this exam form.
B.It is helpful in one’s studies and at work.
C.This exam form can make test-takers more relaxed.
D.A test-taker can score high simply by preparing well.
【4】Which of the following is correct if you want to go to a top university in the U.K. or U.S.?
A.A 7 on the IELTS is probably a must.
B.A score of 60 on the TOEFL is enough.
C.You should take both the TOEFL and the IELTS.
D.You need a 7.5 on the IELTS for post-graduate programs.
27、School uniforms(校服) are traditional in Britain. Pupils at about 90 percent of British secondary schools wear uniforms. When every pupil in the school wears the uniform, nobody has to worry about fashion and they feel that they belong to a group. Some people believe that a school uniform can help students pay attention to schoolwork. But some schools in Britain and other countries are starting to drop the traditional uniforms.
An Australian school has decided to drop its traditional school uniform, hoping new sportswear will encourage students to take part in more activities. School headmaster Elisabeth Lenders said the uniform change had been in the works for several years. "We decided that in 2018-2019, " she said. "The importance is clear: to make young people live happy, healthy lives."
Ms Lenders said World Health Organization research reported 90 percent of young Australians and New Zealanders were not getting the minimum(最小的)daily levels of activity they needed in order to lead a healthy life. As well as the new uniform, she said the school would change timetables to make sure there would be chances for students to take part in physical activity every day.
Ms Lenders said in the past, a uniform was about all looking the same but in the 21st century it was important for students to be able to choose clothes that they liked.
And this Australian school had made an online survey about the uniform change and had received great support from parents and students. Tara, mother of Ava in Year 7, said it was a great move from the school. "These are the challenges of our time, and we want young people to think about them, " she said. "It is bigger than just throwing out the old uniform. It's about what the role of education is about. And for me it's helping young people to live a happy, healthy and productive life. "
【1】What does the underline word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?

【2】According to the passage, the uniform change in this Australian school ________.
A.helps students to live a healthy life

D.The change receives strong support from students and parents.
28、Homework is a major part of going to school: It's your teachers' way of evaluating(评价) how much you understand of what's going on in class.【1】 Luckily, you can do a few things to make homework less work.
Be sure you understand the homework.
Write your homework down in your notebook or day planner if you need to.【2】It's much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!
Use any extra time in school.
Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study. It's tempting(诱惑) to hang out with friends during study periods or unstructured(松散的) time.【3】
Take a break.
【4】 So take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without stretching or relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15 minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.
【5】
If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time. Most high school students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it's a heavy homework day and you've got an assignment in every subject, you'll need to devote more time to homework. It's a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule, especially if you are involved in sports or activities or have an after school job.
A.Make a homework schedule.
B.Settle down to do homework.
C.And it helps digest important concepts.
D.Most people's attention spans (跨度) aren't very long.

29、 Winston Churchill was born into a famous family. His father was a successful politician.
However, as a boy, Churchill was considered a slow learner in school.
Later he entered the Army and saw action in various countries.
In October 1900, Churchill began his political career. For the next sixty years Churchill’s work as a great politician was both brighter and more difficult than his father had been.
In 1939, Germany attacked Poland. Churchill prepared to fight. In 1940 he became the Prime Minster of England.
France fell. The Germans fought their way through Western Europe. It looked as if Britain was about to lose the war. Was it not possible to ask for peace, and listen to Hitler?

The Germans began moving their armies to the French coast and prepared to go to war with the British. The British had not enough guns to go round. Churchill gave the answer: “We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the coasts, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the field and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never give up.”
By his courage and hard work Churchill heartened his people and other nations fighting together against Hitler. Victory finally came when the Germans lost World War II.
