26、Regarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.

Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.

At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his pursuit of rhythm (对韵律的追求).

John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.

【1】John Keats’ attitude towards life changed because of _________.

A. the deaths of his parents

B. his early education from school

C. Edmund Spenser’s poetry

D. the criticism of a magazine

【2】What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?

A. They died of the same disease.

B. They had a bad childhood.

C. They read many books.

D. They showed strong interest in poetry.

【3】While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet first, John Keats was _________.

A. impatient    B. experienced

C. knowledgeable  D. determined

【4】What do we know from the passage?

A. Keats received little education at school.

B. In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.

C. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.

D. Endymion was about a real love story.

27、Mickey Mouse welcomed visitors to his new home in China on June 16, 2016 as Disney opened its first theme park in the country.

The park, located in the city of Shanghai, opened with fireworks.

Joe Schott, president and general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort, said, “I can promise you that there is still so much left to be revealed, and I cannot wait to share it all with you in the months and years to come.”

Tens of thousands streamed into Shanghai Disneyland for its debut(问世), an event that was nearly two decades in the making. The $ 5.5 billion resort(度假胜地) covers 963 acres, but Disney has already begun expansion.

Company officials said they tried to reflect Chinese preferences in the new park.

“We didn’t build Disneyland in China, we built China’s Disneyland,” said Bob Iger, Disney’s chairman.

There’s a traditional Chinese tea house featuring local food. The Lion King performed in Mandarin for the first time, features the Monkey King and characters dressed in Chinese opera garb(服装)to appeal to an Asian audience.

In the castle, guests not only walk through, as they do in other Disney parks, they can also eat and shop. When it was discovered that Chinese people didn’t have a favourite Disney princess, the company decided that the castle would feature all the princesses. Parks in California and France are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.

“The visitors can learn the princesses over time, and this gives them an opportunity to have an introduction to all of the princess stories,” said executive producer Ali Rubinstein.

However, China’s Disneyland sometimes are not closely related to China. Disney’s only animated film based on a Chinese story, Mulan, which tells the tale of a Chinese warrior woman, got neither its own ride nor stage show. The character appears only as a statue and afloat in the parade.

【1】What’s Joe Schott’s attitude to Shanghai Disney Resort?

A．Disappointed.

C．Doubtful.

D．Confident.

【2】What can be learned from what Bob said in paragraph 6?

A．They build the theme park in China.

B．The theme park belongs to China.

C．The theme park has Chinese elements.

D．The theme park has a long Chinese history.

【3】Why does China’s Disneyland have all kinds of princesses?

A．Chinese people have no certain favourite Disney princess.

B．Chinese people don’t know any princess characters in Disney movies.

C．Chinese people believe “the more, the better”.

D．Parks in other countries are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.

【4】What is the purpose of giving the Mulan example?

A．To show the Chinese character of Disneyland.

B．To show Mulan is an important part of Chinese culture.

C．To show China’s Disneyland has not reflected enough Chinese culture.

D．To show Disneyland has too few Chinese character films.

28、If you have ever tried to catch a resting butterfly, you know it is surprisingly difficult. A new study helps explain why.

Previous research had suggested that a butterfly's overhead wing clap forces the insect forward. Researchers thought the wing clap likely formed a pocket of air that shoots out like a jet. But no one had tested that until now.

To analyze their flight, they placed six butterflies one at a time inside a wind tunnel which was filled with smoke and then used a laser to light up the smoke just behind the butterfly. Four high-speed cameras were placed in the tunnel to take photos of the movement of the butterfly and the smoke as the butterfly was taking off. This let the researchers create a 3D picture of that air movement as the insect flapped its wings.

They analyzed a total of 25 takeoffs by six butterflies. Each included up to three wingbeats after takeoff. The butterflies proved more likely to clap their wings together during the first few wingbeats than later in flight.

The photos show that forces created by the wings give rise to a flight path. The butterflies rise as their wings move down and shoot forward as their wings move up. A wing clap on takeoff, paired with a quick turn, allowed the butterflies to fly away quickly. They also noticed the wings formed an air pocket just before clapping and that the wings' flexibility and this pocket improved the jet force created by the clap.

“The study is exalting,” says Ayodeji Bode-Oke, a mechanical engineer in Charlottesville. That means “we have solved the longtime puzzle about how butterflies fly, and it proves nothing is impossible on the road of scientific research. I can't wait to learn about how the study might inform designs for small flying vehicles.”

【1】Why was laser used in the experiment?

A．To frighten the butterflies into flying.

B．To help researchers observe the butterflies.

C．To help take clear photos of air movement.

D．To guide the butterflies through the smoke.

【2】What is the finding of the research according to paragraph 5?

A．Butterflies fly forward as wings move down.

B．An air pocket forms after butterflies clap wings.

C．Butterflies beat wings three times before taking off.

D．Upward wing movements help butterflies fly forward.

【3】What does the underlined word “exalting" in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Puzzling.

B．Exciting.

C．Simple.

D．Impossible.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Why Can Butterflies Fly Like a Jet?

B．How Can Butterflies Make Wing Claps?

C．How Can Butterflies Make Quick Turns?

D．Why Can Butterflies Run Away Quickly?
