26、   When it comes to eating, more and more Americans are ordering online instead of eating out. In some restaurants, cooks make food for other online restaurants at the same time. Online orders are only 5% of all restaurants orders, but they are growing about 20% each year.

The increase in online ordering in the US has created openings for new kinds of businesses. One is called Kitchen United. It builds kitchens for restaurants that want to enter take-out markets. Chick-Fil-A, The Halal Guys and Dog Haus all have opened kitchens through it. Another company, DoorDash, sends food to customers who order online. Fuad Hannon is the head of new business at DoorDash, He says, “The industry is still young. It may be too soon to know how it will grow, but what we know is that people love to get their favorite food sent.”

Two other businesses, Grubhub and Uber Eats, say their virtual (虚拟的) restaurant programs help small businesses compete. Both reach out to restaurant owners with suggestions for online. restaurants based on data from customer searches. This information helps owners. think about everything from how people get their food to what should go on the menu.

Kristen Adamowski heads Uber Eats. She says they have helped start 4,000 virtual restaurants worldwide, about half of them in the US and Canada.

Virtual restaurants have the benefit of testing new ideas without taking on expensive rents or employing more workers like traditional ones. But small restaurants should look at the risks before starting an online restaurant suggested by third-party app businesses. Those businesses offer no training for kitchen' workers to get used to making new foods. Other things to consider: whether their delivery containers are right for new dishes, or whether they want to increase their dependence on outside delivery drivers. Those are not small or easy things.

【4】What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

B．Think carefully before you act.

C．Failure is the mother of success.

D．Where there is a will, there is a way.

27、World's Most Impressive Stadiums

We gather in the thousands, the tens of thousands and sometimes even the hundreds of thousands to rsupport our favorite teams. With international flavor, size and historical significance to offer, we have some impressive options to offer.

Camp Nou-Barcelona, Spain

For European largest stadium—FC Barcelona's home stadium houses 99, 354—some of the more interesting features are hidden within the structure. Opened in 1957, the stadium was nicknamed Camp Nou (new ground). Along with the famed red and blue colors of the inner part, the stadium includes a museum and television studios.

Bird's Nest-Beijing, China

Beijing National Stadium, or the Bird's Nest Stadium, which made its first appearance by staging 2008 Olympics, is the biggest stadium in Beijing, holding 91, 000 scats for audience. The outer shell is the world's largest steel structure. The Bird's Nest will become the first stadium in the world to host both Summer and Winter Olympic Games ceremonies.

Maracana-Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Maracana, once redesigned for the 2014 World Cup, has a current capacity of over 78, 000, which allows the stadium to host another historic event—the 2016 Olympic Opening Ceremonies. Having hosted important competitions, for example, World Cup Finals, the second largest stadium in South America stands in historical air.

Wembley Stadium-London, England

Rebuilding the famous 1924-opened Wembley Stadium in 2007 was no small task, but the new Wembley still surprises the world for its 7, 840-ton steel roof structure and a 436-foot-tall steel arch.

28、I had never even considered being a stay-at-home dad. I worked as a broadcaster for 20 years, and to an extent, I felt defined by my job. I was also never close to my own father. After my parents divorced, my dad and I stopped speaking when I was 15, and we would never speak to each other again. I found out he died almost by chance.

Yet here I was, with no real road map on how to be a father. My wife and I read all the books and talked to friends with kids. Then our son Finn arrived and from the moment we saw him, we both finally knew what love was. With parental leave finishing, we went back to work. We tried daycare. Our son was always sick and we felt sick inside from being apart from him. We decided that one of us would have to stay at home with him. So I quit working. I am grateful every day that I did.

Staying at home with my son changed me. It takes patience to be with a child all day, and I found I had more of it than I thought. His excitement at each new discovery was infectious. Inspired by his openness and creativity, I found myself having adventures and building Lego spaceships together with him.

My son has made me a better person, and I came to realize that being a parent was also going to make me better at my job. Even though I once never thought I’d be a stay-at-home dad, now I know I was born to do it. Being a father is the great honor of my life. Finn and I are deeply close, and I feel sad for fathers like my own, who never get to know this kind of intimacy. I had to leave work to build this relationship, and it was worth it. The experience of staying home has increased my value as an employee and a person.

【1】Why did the author know little about being a father?

A．He didn’t have a model to follow.

B．His friends didn’t talk about it with him.

C．His wife seldom needed him for parenting.

D．He disliked reading books about parenting.

【2】Why did the author give up his job?

A．He made enough money.

B．He wanted to rest for some time.

C．He was not satisfied with his job.

D．He wanted to take care of his son.

【3】What does the underlined word “intimacy” mean in paragraph 4?

A．disappointment.

B．closeness.

C．excitement.

D．surprise.

【4】What does the author express in the last paragraph?

A．He intends to forgive his father.

B．He actually wants to return to work.

C．He becomes good at balancing his work and life.

D．He benefits a lot from the valuable experience.

29、Joseph Conrad, a famous English novelist, said that his goal as a writer was “to make you hear, to make you feel, and above all, to make you see. That, and no more, is everything.” 【1】 Often it leaves a single sharp impression to be turned over and over in the mind. After finishing the story, the reader should have something to think about: the humor of life, its ironies, or the unpredictability of human behavior.

【2】 The first and most obvious level is conveyed through the plot. Plot refers to the sequence of events, to the actions of the characters and the situations in which they are involved. To explain the plot, then, is to tell what happened in the story and to whom. In some short stories, plot is the dominating element. In other short stories, plot plays a very minor role.

In Hemingway’s story, The Old Man and the Sea, however, we must approach the content on another level. 【3】 To understand and appreciate the story, the reader must be able to identify its general topic or theme. The next step is to identify the device by which the author comments on this theme. 【4】

Readers cannot appreciate a short story fully unless they react not only to what has been said but also to how it has been said. 【5】 Style grows out of the writer’s own personality and can be seen in the choice of words and phrases, the arrangement of sentences, the rhythm and tone. Structure refers to the architecture of the story, the way in which the details are selected and arranged to produce the desired effect.

A．They must look for style and structure.

B．In complex stories, careful readers may not always agree with the author.

C．The impact on the reader comes from the sudden and unexpected response.

D．A good short story tries to give the reader a sense of the actual experience.

E．Finally, the reader should be able to explain the insights which the author has given into the theme.

F．The impact of the story comes from the insight it gives us into the needs and desires of youth and old age.

G．In order to read a short story with full understanding, the reader must approach the content on two levels.

30、As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing things for my family. I found myself refusing to _______ at home with even the simplest things. 

Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother _______ me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she’d rush to the nearby store and buy a week’s worth of _______. Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, and _______ for my lesson, you’d think I’d be very _______ to help her bring the groceries into the house. But I wasn’t. I generally just brought in an armload and left the rest for Mom as I ran to my room and shut the door. 

Don’t get me wrong. Back in my room, I felt _______ about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my _______. But I also realized that once I took on more responsibility, my parents would start _______ more from me. At age 15, I sensed that this one small change would mark something much bigger: my personal change from a spoiled (宠坏的) child to a more _______ young man. 

I’ll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) ________ to try and see what would happen. Returning home from the lesson I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning ________. Throwing my school books on the bed, I suddenly opened my door and ________ back to the garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day! Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The more I helped out, the ________ I felt about myself. As Mom and Dad realized they could ________ me more, our trips became far less stressful, too.

32、阅读下面文章，根据其内容和所给段洛开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整短文。

On his way home, Jonathon saw a gray, long-haired cat sitting on the sidewalk. As he stopped to pet her, he noticed that she was not wearing a collar. She rubbed her head against his hand and began to purr (发呼噜声). She reminded Jonathon of Smoky, the cat he had when he was younger. Smoky’s fur had been long and gray too.

Jonathon petted the cat for a while. Then he said, “I have to go,” and continued home. To his surprise, the cat followed him.

When Jonathon was home, he walked up the porch steps and went in the kitchen. The cat followed him up the steps and sat quietly outside the door, watching him closely. Jonathon made a sandwich. The cat continued to stare at him. Jonathon sighed. “I know it’s not a good idea to feed a stray cat,” he said, “but you look so hungry! I can’t sit here and eat without feeding you too!”

Jonathon put some turkey on a plate for the cat. As Jonathon watched, she ate every scrap of turkey and then began to clean her face and paws. “Wow!” Jonathon said, “You must have been starving. I wonder how long it has been since someone fed you.”

Jonathon finished his sandwich and looked at the cat. Her long fur was matted (乱蓬蓬的). Jonathon remembered that Smoky’s brush and toys were stored in the garage. “I’m going to clean you up a little,” Jonathon said to the cat.

Jonathon found Smoky’s brush and got to work. As the dirt came out, the cat’s fur began to get lighter. “Hey!” Jonathon said, realizing the truth. “You’re not gray—you’re white!”

After her brushing, the cat climbed onto Jonathon’s lap and purred. “You’re so friendly, you probably belong to someone,” Jonathon said. “I bet you’re just lost.” When Jonathon’s father came home, Jonathon showed him the cat that had stretched out in a patch of sun on the porch. “Why don’t you make some signs to place in the neighborhood,” his father suggested.

His father said that if no one called about the cat after a week, Jonathon could keep her.
