26、The opening sequences (片头) of television series are usually significant. They need to show great honor to the stars and make an introduction for the episode to follow. Above all, they must persuade the viewers to be interested in the show for the next 30 minutes or more. Take, for example, Game of Thrones, which no one doubted was a masterpiece when watching the amazing pictures at the start of each episode in 2011. For long, networks thought it was worthwhile to create complex and costly opening sequences.

However, it was Girls, which had its first show in April 2012, that took an absolutely different opening approach. With a sequence of a single title card on screen lasting only seven seconds, Lena Dunham’s (the director and leading actress) comedy thumbed its nose at the industry’s usual luxurious (奢华的) opening.

With the rise of streaming (流媒体) services, viewers started watching several episodes without a break, and the brief opening gained additional praise. In 2017 Netflix started its “jump introduction” function, enabling viewers to cut out opening parts and get straight to the drama. Most viewers were happy that they no longer had to press fast-forward, but others saw it as a disrespect to the art of television.

Indeed, maybe opening sequences are no longer necessary. But if they become a history, the desire for something more creative and mysterious may reappear one day. When they are done well, they can be as appealing as short films.

【1】What’s the main function of opening sequences?

A．Showing great honor to the audience.

B．Making the episodes complex and costly.

C．Interesting viewers to watch each episode.

D．Giving a summary of the previous episode.

【2】Which can replace the underlined phrase “thumbed its nose at” in paragraph 2?

A．Respected.

B．Smelt.

C．Challenged.

D．Praised.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Opening sequences will never disappear.

B．People have a desire for historical things.

C．Opening sequences can be made into short films.

D．Opening sequences will be continuously improved.

27、   The love story between John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jackie, was far from perfect and was tragically cut short in 1963 by a sniper’s(狙击手) bullet.

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was seated beside his smartly dressed wife, who was wearing a pink Chanel-like suit and matching pillbox hat and holding an armful of red roses that had been presented to her by fans. They were seated in the back seat of a dark blue 1961 Lincoln with John Connally, the Governor of Texas and his wife, Nellie.

And then came the dark moment. As the motorcade(车队) passed the Texas School Book Depository on Elm Street, a loud noise—like the sound of a firecracker—cracked the air. President Kennedy slumped(耷拉) forward, Jackie putting her arms around him.

The look on her husband’s face after he was shot would haunt Jackie for the rest of her life. The last words she ever got to say to him were, “I love you, Jack. I love you,” according to Anderson, although Jackie herself recalled it slightly differently in a 1963 interview. All the way to Parkland Hospital, where President Kennedy would eventually be pronounced dead, as she recalled it, she was bent over him, asking “Jack, Jack, can you hear me? I love you.”

Jack Kennedy’s final words to his wife of 10 years were far more mundane, of course. He had no way of knowing what was about to happen. It’s been reported that Jack’s final words were, “My God, I’ve been hit,” but physicians have said this was impossible given Jack’s injuries. Well, historians have now clarified that the last words Jack spoke before the fatal shot were, “No, you certainly can’t.”

No, you certainly can’t?

He was making small talk in the car. “You certainly can’t say that the people of Dallas haven’t given you a nice welcome,” the Texas Governor’s wife had just remarked to Jack, referring to the huge, adoring crowd. “No, you certainly can’t,” Jack replied, milliseconds before the bullet from Lee Harvey Oswald gun struck.

John F. Kennedy never spoke another word after that fateful day, but many things he said during his lifetime are incredibly inspiring.

【1】When the gunshot incident happened, ______________.

A.it suddenly went into darkness

B.Kennedy was giving a speech to his fans

C.the motorcade was on the way to Parkland Hospital

D.Kennedy and his wife were seated next to each other

【2】The underlined word “mundane” in paragraph 5 probably means ______________.

A.unforgettable B.ordinary

C.excellent D.humorous

【3】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.The people’s love for Kennedy.

B.The love story of Kennedy and his wife.

C.The final words before Kennedy was murdered.

D.The inspiring speeches during Kennedy’s lifetime.

28、Welcome to your future life!

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young - looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you're not old at all. And your parents just had an antiaging (抗衰老的) treatment.   Now, all three of you look the same age!

You say to your shirt ,“Turn red. ” It changes from blue to red.   In 2035,“smart clothes”contain particles (粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body.   The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk , but a voice says ,“ You shouldn’t drink that !" Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.

It’ s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.

So will all these things come true?” For new technology to succeed ,” says scientist Andrew Zolli ,“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already. ”The Internet is one example ——what will be the next ?

29、Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio says everyone in her home has been happier and healthier since getting their dog, Sophie. “We all started to get physical exercise,” she told CBS News. “We walk her four to six times a day.”

Connie and her husband welcomed Sophie into their home five years ago at a difficult time in their lives—Connie's parents had died just a few months before. She says Sophie helped her feel better.

“It just brought me out of that sadness,” she said. “It's added a lot of happiness to our home and we couldn't imagine life without her here.”

The family may be onto something when it comes to getting a pet to improve health and well-being (幸福).

A new report from Harvard Medical School found that having a dog can reduce a person's blood pressure and help people lose weight and keep healthy. Research shows dog owners are more likely to get the two and a half hours of exercise each week that experts recommend.

Report author, Dr. Elizabeth Frates, says owning a dog can also have many other benefits, such as reducing loneliness and stress. “When a dog owner looks into a dog's eyes and pets the dog, the owner will feel good,” she told CBS News.

The new report supports past research that found pet ownership, particularly dog ownership, associated with a lower risk of heart disease. The American Heart Association once reviewed previous research on how pets affect human health and found that owning a pet was good for people's health. The study was published in the journal, Circulation.

Dr. Frates said if you are not currently very active and are thinking about getting a dog, it’s best to work up to it slowly. She suggests walking for 10 minutes a day a few times a week to start and then build up to more walking time.

【1】Why was Connie not very happy before getting the dog?

A．She had nobody to talk to.

B．She didn't have a pet dog.

C．She was in a poor state of health.

D．Her parents had died not long before.

【2】Owning a dog can do all of the following things EXCEPT______.

A．helping a person lose weight

B．reducing a person's loneliness

C．helping a person feel less angry

D．reducing a person's blood pressure

【3】Which of the following is true about the past research?

A．It was reported by CBS News.

B．It had nothing in common with the new report.

C．It lacked evidence that pets could affect human health.

D．It found that owning a dog can help reduce the risk of heart disease.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．If you don't have a dog, you should get one.

B．The amount of exercise should be increased gradually.

C．To keep health, you should run quickly every day.

D．It is best to walk for 10 minutes a few times every day.
