27、I’m a TV show host. One Sunday, I took my 7-year-old daughter by the sea for lunch. On arriving at the beach, I saw JoJo, a wealthy man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open air cafe while I watched my daughter enjoy herself on the swings in front of us. Our conversation varied from business to entertainment to the economy.

Suddenly our conversation was interrupted by a stranger, who politely asked permission to speak to me. Often people want to tell me something about my controversial TV show, when I’m out on the streets.

He asked to speak to me privately, so we stood a bit away from my table. He said, “I’m James, 35 years old, father of a 7-year-old girl, who’s very sick. She needs treatment abroad. The doctors said that if she was treated in the UK, she would probably survive. But I’m poor, so can you please help me?”

Speechless, I stared in the man’s eyes full of tears and asked how I could help. After we talked for a while, I went to sit back at the table. JoJo asked me, “What’s wrong with you?Your face changed.”I told him and he was very sorry for this family and said I had the means through the media to help him. Later we headed off to our destinations(目的地).

All weekend I thought about James, his daughter and his family. I even considered doing a special TV show to raise money for this sick child.

On Monday morning I was at the office after I finished presenting my show, when my secretary said a man needed to speak to me. It was JoJo. He walked into my office. Actually JoJo is so busy with his hotel business that I never imagined he had time to come and see me at the studios.

“Please, call the man with the sick child and tell him that I’ll pay all expenses for his sick daughter’s treatment.”JoJo said, with a check in his hand.“I’ve been married for 35 years. I wasn’t lucky enough to have a child. I want to help this child now.”I picked up the phone to call James.

Now James’ daughter is well and living a normal life, so James and his wife are the happiest couple on earth. JoJo often visits her. I’m so happy that there are so many good people on this earth.

28、   My father was chief engineer of a merchant ship, which was sunk in World War IT. The book Night of the U-boat told the story.

Memories

In September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father's ship was getting ready to sail. We brought a family photography to be kept with him at all times and keep him safe.

Then I remember my mother lying face down, sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo (鱼雷) .

I can remember the arrival of the telegram, which in those days always brought bad news. My grandmother opened it. It read, "Safe. Love Ted."

My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father's knee, his arm in a bandage.

He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes, but he said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.

Ten years later I read Night of the U-boat and was able to complete the story.

Torpedo

One torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the second engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship, making it easier for it to be abandoned.

By the time he got on deck he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck fast. When he tried to cut it free it swung against the ship, injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump --- still with the photograph in his pocket.

Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.

A toast

In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, book in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? In case we forget, I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.

【1】We can infer that the mother and children went to Swansea _____.

A.to meet a friend B.to see the father

C.to take a family photo D.to enjoy the sailing of the ship

【2】What can we know about the author's father after his ship was attacked?

A.He lost his arm. B.He repaired the engine.

C.He managed to take a lifeboat. D.He was the last to leave the ship.

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A.A group of forgotten heroes.

B.A book describing a terrifying battle.

C.A memory of a ship engineer's wartime experience.

D.Memories of the author's childhood.

29、My father was a close friend of Albert Einstein. As a boy and then as an adult, I never lost my wonder at the personality that was Einstein. He was the only person I knew who had come to terms with （安于现状）himself and the world around him. He knew what he wanted and he wanted only this: to understand within his limits as a human being the nature of the universe and the logic and simplicity in its functioning. He knew there were answers beyond his understanding. But this did not frustrate him. He was pleased to go as far as he could.

In the 23 years of our friendship, I never saw him show jealousy, vanity, bitterness, anger, resentment, or personal ambition. He didn't seem to be affected by these emotions. He was beyond any pretension （做作）.

To do his work he needed only a pencil only a pencil and a pad of paper. Matenal things meant nothing to him. I never knew him to carry money because he never had any use for it. He believed in simplicity, so much so that he used only a safety razor （剃刀）and water to shave. When I suggested that he try shaving cream, he said, "The razor and water do the job. "

"But Professor, why don’t you try the cream （膏状物）just once? " I argued. "Il makes shaving smoother and less painful".

He shrugged. Finally, I presented him with a tube of shaving cream. The next morning when he came down to breakfast, he was cheerful with the pleasure of a new, great discovery. "You know, that cream really works," he announced. "It doesn't pull the beard. It feels wonderful. n Thereafter, he used the shaving cream every morning until the tube was empty. Then he returned to using plain water.

Einstein was purely a theorist. He didn't have the slightest interest in the practical application of his ideas and theories. His E=mc2 is probably the most famous equation in history - yet Einstein wouldn't walk down the street to see a reactor（反应堆）create atomic energy.

One puzzle that Einstein could never understand was his own fame. He had developed theories that were profound and capable of exciting relatively few scientists. Yet his name was a household word across the civilized world. "I’ve had good ideas, and so have other men, " he once said. "But it's been my good fortune that my ideas have been accepted". He was bewildered by his fame: people wanted to meet him; strangers stared at him on the street； scientists, statesmen, students, and housewives wrote him letters. He never could understand why he received this attention, why he was singled out as something special.

【1】The writer wrote this article to show ________.

A．Einstein was a simple, modest and ordinary man.

B．Einstein had an endless curiosity about science.

C．Einstein only concerned himself with theoretical things.

D．Einstein and the writer had a long period of friendship.

【2】Why did Einstein not use cream when shaving?

A．Because Einstein never carried money to buy one tube of that.

B．Because Einstein wanted to keep things simple.

C．Because Einstein felt great with only razor and water.

D．Because Einstein always thought about theoretical things.

【3】What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?

A．Disappointed.

B．Annoyed.

C．Angry.

D．Confused

【4】In the writer's eyes, which group of words can best describe Einstein?

A．creative and imaginative

B．ambitious and jealous

C．satisfied and modest

D．practical and greedy

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Electric car sales around the world rose by 54 percent in 2017, taking global stock across the three-million threshold （门槛）, the International Energy Agency （IEA） said in a report on Wednesday. In China, the world’s biggest market for electric vehicles, sales also grew by about half — but their market share remained small at 2.2 percent. In Norway, electric vehicles have by far the world’s highest market share, with 39.2 percent, according to the IEA.

“Supportive policies and cost reductions are likely to lead to significant growth in the market uptake of electric vehicles in the outlook period to 2030,” the report said, If policymakers honor their current commitments to the environment, “the number of electric light-duty vehicles on the road would reach 125 million by 2030,” it added. And if policy ambitions develop further, that number could become as high as 220 million by 2030, it said. But the IEA said that in order for the cars of the future to overtake their petrol and diesel-powered （柴油动力）competitors, governments will have to take the lead.

“The main markets by numbers （China） and sales share （Norway） have the strongest policy push,” the IEA said. “Looking ahead, the strongest current policy signals come from electric car policies in China and California, as well as the European Union’s recent proposal on CO2 emissions （排放）standards for 2030. ”

The EU has committed to cutting 40 percent of its greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels, and to improving its use of renewable energy by at least 27 percent. France, home to Europe’s second-biggest car industry after Germany, has gone further by announcing a plan to end sales of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040, as part of an ambitious plan to meet its targets under the Paris climate accord （条约）. Electric vehicles use batteries instead of petrol or diesel fuel, thereby massively reducing their damage to the environment. But they are not without controversy （争论）.
