27、   Samuel L. Clemens, also known as Mark Twain, started off his writing career (事业) in 1865 with his big hit story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County — a story-within- a-story told to a listener by an old California miner. From that day on, the works of the great humorist always had different animals.

Some members of Twain’s literary (文学的) animals were based on real animals, such as the Clemens family’s named pet cats. Some were imaginary, like that celebrated jumping frog.

As a boy in Missouri, he got pleasure from knowing the animals of the woods; in old age,  he felt a deep relationship with the animals large and small that he met in his travels. His cats, family dog, horses, donkeys, and calf also won his three daughters’ love at their Hartford home. On March 22, 2018, to mark this part of Twain’s personal life, The Mark Twain House & Museum opened a new exhibition (展览), Tails of Twain: How Animals Shaped the Man & His Work. The exhibition was rich with exhibits from the museum’s collections.

The king of the animals in Twain’s world was the cat, “the only creature in heaven or earth or anywhere that don’t have to obey (听从) somebody or other, including the angels.” He was known to be the proud pet parent of 19 cats during his childhood. As an adult, the Clemens  home always had a named cat. Even on vacation, the Clemens family borrowed cats from locals to live with them. Dogs were considered second-class pets, but Twain liked them. Twain once wrote an ode (颂诗) to his dead dog Burns: “She lived a quiet harmless life in Hartford ...”

In true Twainism, humans were not as loved as the “Higher Animals”. Even the most low- down animal, however, was superior in Twain’s eyes to “the human race.” After all, he did write once “Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel.”

【1】What can we learn about The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County?

A.It tells a story of Twain’s family pet.

B.It was written for Twain’s three daughters.

C.It made Twain pay attention to animals.

D.It was Twain’s first great success as a writer.

【2】What’s the main purpose of the new exhibition?

A.To introduce how Twain spent his childhood.

B.To exhibit some of Twain’s best-sellers.

C.To show Twain’s different hobbies.

D.To show Twain’s love for animals.

【3】What does the underlined word “superior” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.richer B.better

C.quieter D.stronger

28、   After two years of careful consideration, Robert McCrum has reached a conclusion on his selection

of the 100 greatest novels written in English. Take a look at a few in his list:

The Pilgrim's Progress by John Banyan （1678）

A story of a man in search of truth told with the simple clarity and beauty of Bunyan's prose makes this an English classic.

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe （1719）

By the end of the 19th century, no book in English literary history had enjoyed more editions and translations. This world-famous novel is a complex literature that one cannot resist

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift (1726)

A great work that's been repeatedly printed, Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels comes third in our list of the best novels written in English.

Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748)

Clarissa is a tragic heroine, pressured by her dishonorable family to marry a wealthy man she dislikes, in the book that Samuel Johnson described as "the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human heart".

Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749)

Tom Jones is a classic English novel that gets the spirit of its age and whose characters are well-known since they have come to represent the society at that time.

Emma by Jane Austen (1816)

Jane Austen's Emma is her most outstanding work, mixing the best parts of her early books with a deep sense of feelings.

The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe (1838)

29、The 3 Best Marvel Films-ranked

It seems that ranking films well is always a tough task. In the hearts of millions of fans, everyone has his own choice. Superhero films are even more so. Recently, The Guardian has chosen three of the most popular Marvel films.

0.3 Blade Ⅱ(2002)

This film continues the story of an earlier 1998’s Blade and is directed by Guillermo. The story once again concerns the mysterious day walker, played by Wesley Snipes. It is an action film full of high technology and the fighting scenes Guillermo expresses are horribly exciting. Not a typical superhero film, in many ways, but a great one.

No. 2 Black Panther (2018)

This superb film is an entertaining adventure, with a richer component (成分) of fantasy than the other Marvel films. The character of Black Panther is recognized as one of Marvel’s greatest heroes. It is a big hit across the board. It also employs Rachel Morrison who is MCU’S first woman cinematographer, a photographer who operates a movie camera. Marvel Studios’ president, Kevin Feige, has promised to get more women writers and directors on board. So far, the only Marvel female writer is Nicole Perlman for Guardians of the Galaxy.

NO 1 Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

It is smart, visually exciting and perhaps above all, funny. And it's funny in a way that only Marvel films can be. It suggests that to some degree comedy can be an important part of the drama. Taika Waititi was an inspired choice as director. Hemsworth plays the role of Thor and Cate Blanchett plays Hela, the goddess of death who also happens to be Thor’s half sister.

【1】Which film is the most popular one according to The Guardian?

A.Blade Ⅱ. B.Black Panther.

C.Guardians of the Galaxy. D.Thor: Ragnarok.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Ranking superhero films is easy.

B.BladeⅡis a typical superhero film.

C.Nicole Perlman is the only Marvel female writer so far.

D.Taika Waititi, Hemsworth and Cate Blanchett act in one film.

【3】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A.To introduce some superhero films.

B.To advertise for some films.

C.To comment on the Marvels history.

D.To advise people to learn from heroes.

30、Once upon a time a teacher and his student    down under a big tree near the big grass area．Then suddenly the student asked the teacher，“Teacher，I’m puzzled．How do we     our soul mate(知己)?Could you please help me?”

Silent for a few seconds，the teacher then answered，“Well，it’s a pretty hard and easy question．” The teacher     ，“Look that way．There is a lot of grass．Why don’t you walk there? But please don’t walk     ．On your way，try to find a blade(叶片)of beautiful grass and    it and then give it to me．But just one．”

What is the    of this story? In the story，grass is the people around you；the beautiful blade grass is the people that    you and the grassy field is time．In looking for your soul mate，please don’t always    and hope that there will be a better one．By doing that，you’ll    your lifetime．Remember “Time Never Goes Back．”

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of 【1】 land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to 【2】 the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with 【3】 which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been 【4】. What next?

The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become 【5】.

Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems 【6】.

From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must 【7】 ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that 【8】 his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to 【9】 places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and 【10】 shores.
