26、Every English learner hopes to find a patient native speaker who will politely correct mistakes and teach him some useful new vocabulary. But native speakers can be hard to find. If you’re having trouble communicating in English, American situation comedies are one good way to help.

They can not only give you a lot of information about American culture, but also offer some useful daily expressions. Watching them will help you enlarge your vocabulary and teach you correct language usage in different situations. Best of all, situation comedies are a fun way to learn.

The Apprentice (学徒)

The American reality (现实) TV show is hosted by the famous businessman Donald Trump. It’s based on the idea of the final job interview for the final job. The show picks 16 people to compete for a job with Trump’s business. Those who fail their weekly tasks have to meet with Trump. They have to explain why they should not be fired (解雇).

The Apprentice is useful for English students who want to learn how to make up a persuasive (令人信服的) argument. For example, rather than say “I think I did a good job”, one may also learn to throw off the possibility of uncertainty by saying, “I did a good job.”

Desperate Housewives (DH) (绝望主妇)

Desperate Housewives is set in an invented American town, Wisteria Lane. It follows a group of middle-aged women as they go through their daily family lives. But in fact, those women live a life of lies, secrets, criminal (犯罪的) acts, and mystery.

This program is good at expressing the funny life of American neighbors. And, it’s the perfect comedy series for foreign learners wanting to see how to hold a relaxed daily conversation.

Another reason for watching DH is to learn some expressions American families use that are not in your English language textbooks. For example, the mothers often use words such as “sport” and “you guys” to speak about their kids.

【1】According to the passage, The Apprentice and DH are introduced because ________.

A．they are now the most popular programs

B．they are helpful in English learning

C．they are advertised for English beginners

D．they are enjoyed by most young people

【2】Through watching the two American comedy series, English learners can do the following EXCEPT ________.

A．communicate with native speakers

B．know about American culture

C．pick up English daily expressions

D．learn more English words

【3】In the author’s opinion, learning English through TV series is ________.

A．common

B．difficult

C．enjoyable

D．possible

【4】We can learn from the passage that The Apprentice ________.

A．tells a story of school life

B．is about real life

C．has 15 actors

D．is about some businessmen

27、Elon Musk is a symbol of passion, hard work and success. A person may work hard in his life, but when hard work goes along with passion and a new idea, then something is created that astonishes the world. As the founder of big companies like PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla Motors, Elon Musk is a guide and inspiration for the youth around the world.

Elon Musk was born on June 28, 1971 in Pretoria, South Africa. He was the eldest of three children. His father Errol Musk, a British-born South African, was an engineer. Musk spent his childhood in South Africa and at the age of 9, he got his first personal computer. This got Elon interested in programming and he started to learn on his own. At the age of 12, he made his first computer game, Blaster, which earned him $500 when he sold the source code to a magazine.

When he was 17, he decided to leave home and had wanted to move to the United States after graduating from a secondary school in Pretoria. However, he was unable to move to the United States. In 1989, Elon Musk moved to Canada, where his mother’s relatives lived. After obtaining Canadian citizenship, Musk went to Montreal. Due to a lack of money, he found a low-paying job. At the age of 19, he entered Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, studying there for two years. Finally, in 1992, his dream came true—he moved to the United States.

As a teenager, Musk struggled with depression. But then he realized that the most important thing was presenting himself with the right questions. The day he started doing this, everything started to get easier.

Musk thought that a human being had to expand the limits of his consciousness—to ask the right questions and get answers to them; thus he asked the best question of all: what will have the greatest impact on the future of humans? Musk found that these things were the Internet and space exploration.

The life of Elon Musk is inspiring. He found success on the Internet, without much formal learning. By reading books and using his willpower and dedication, he reached a level of knowledge that is difficult to imagine. He did not give up until he achieved his dreams. Elon Musk truly stands out among other billionaires because of his leadership abilities, positive attitude, ability to know when to take risks, and belief in futuristic technologies.

【1】According to the passage, Elon Musk gained knowledge of computer by ________.

A．teaching himself

B．learning from his father

C．taking online courses

D．studying in Queens University

【2】What made things easier for Elon Musk when he suffered from depression?

A．Expanding knowledge by reading books.

B．Asking himself the right questions.

C．Achieving success on the Internet.

D．Designing computer games.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．It’s never too late to learn.

B．Youth means limitless possibilities.

C．Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

D．He who doesn’t advance falls backward.

【4】Which words can best describe Elon Musk according to the passage?

A．Optimistic and generous.

B．Ambitious and determined.

C．Independent and helpful.

D．Adventurous and realistic.

28、The lifestyle of a college learner or someone taking a graduate course gets even busier at higher academic level as compared to that of a high school student. What everyone assume is that college life is supposed to be fun with a rich social life. However, all the bustle and hustle (熙熙攘攘 ) often leaves less time. 【1】 How can you ensure that doesn't happen and involve a healthy lifestyle into your daily routine?

Due to the high expectation placed on students, many experience high levels of pressure. 【2】 Continuous heavy workload eventually leads to depression, anxiety, inability to concentrate, and an increase in risky behavior. In that case, nowadays, students can get help with their assignments from their tutors or advisers.

【3】 Although it ' an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, even students who make it a New Year wish often give up on the goal. A workout partner comes in to keep you accountable, offer companionship and give you the push you need to make physical activity part of your routine. It's fun to work out with someone else with similar goals. 【4】

If you frequently over commit, you will eventually spend less time on things that really matter. After all, you are in school to learn, so attending classes, and completing assignments on time has to be your priority. The remaining few hours is for socializing or engaging in fun. If you find yourself saying yes to every invitation for fear of disappointing your friends, you will find yourself dealing with burn out. 【5】

A．A healthy lifestyle concerns some other aspects.

B．An unhealthy body increases the risk of diseases.

C．So don't promise too much and plan your time wisely.

D．It also gives you a chance to socialize away from the school environment.

E．Consequently, a healthy lifestyle takes a back seat, causing diseases and stress.

F．Working out regularly can be a struggle for most students with a busy schedule.

G．In fact, academic stress has become a lifestyle crisis affecting students at all academic levels.

29、Iman, the last Sumatran rhino(犀牛) in Malaysia, died in 2019 — bringing the endangered species one step closer to extinction. Now, Malaysian scientists are hoping to use tissues and cells from Iman and other dead rhinos to bring the population back.

“Before the three rhinos (the last survivors in Malaysia) died, we got their cells, and the cells are still alive — which is why I’m quite confident,” Dr. Lokman said. “If we don’ t have any cells, or have just tissue that isn’t living anymore, we wouldn’t be able to do anything. But now we have a living thing that we can use.”

The cells came from the rhinos’ hearts, lungs and brains. What is the most important is that the team collected stem cells (干细胞). One possible approach is to develop these stem cells into an egg（卵子）and sperm (精子), to create an embryo (胚胎) that will be placed into a surrogate mother (代孕母亲). She will likely be another rhino, either a Sumatran rhino from another country or another species. The other method is to take the egg of a surrogate animal, remove the nucleus (细胞核), and join it with a Sumatran rhino’s body cell. This technique was famously used to clone Dolly the sheep in 1996. Dr. Lokman and his colleagues are trying both ways. The team is still in the early stages; next, they need to find a suitable surrogate female.

Sumatran rhinos are listed as critically endangered by the World Wildlife Fund. There are less than 80 alive in Indonesia and Thailand. The fall in the population was first caused by hunting. Later, the situation was worsened by the loss of habitats and human activity. Unfortunately, there are now only five remaining rhino species worldwide, and all are threatened. Some sub-species have already died out; the western black rhino was declared extinct in 2013. And it is a pity that the last male northern white rhino died in 2019.

【1】What makes it possible for the team to bring the Sumatran rhinos population back?

A．They have collected three rhinos living cells.

B．They have carried out similar experiments before.

C．There is a baby Sumatran rhino living in Malaysia.

D．There are still some cells alive in the dying rhino.

【2】What do the two methods have in common?

A．Both have been used for Dolly.

B．Both change the cell’ s nucleus.

C．Both involve a surrogate female.

D．Both rely on the Sumatran rhinos’ stem cells.

【3】What feeling does the author express in the last paragraph?

A．Her admiration for cloning technology.

B．Her satisfaction with the scientists’ efforts.

C．Her disappointment at protection measures.

D．Her deep worry about the rhino population.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Last Sumatran rhino in Malaysia has died.

B．Scientists hope to clone Sumatran rhinos.

C．Stem cells are giving birth to new rhino babies.

D．Sumatran rhinos are listed as critically endangered.
