26、 Gertrude was just an average kid with an average life. She lived in an average sized house in an average neighborhood. At home, she helped out just enough to get by. At school, she did just enough homework to stay out of trouble. She had straight Cs in all of her classes.
One day Gertrude’s teacher, Mr. Mister, stopped her after class. “Gertrude” he said, “I know that you can do better. I’ve seen the work you do in class, and some of it is amazing…Way better than C work.” Gertrude knew that there were moments when she tried a little harder than what everyone expected. But she just didn't have confidence in herself. She didn’t really believe that she could change; in fact, she was scared by the thought of having the power to become whatever she wanted. She stopped listening to Mr. Mister about half way through his speech and just nodded her head until he stopped.
That night, Gertrude had a dream. It was ten years into the future and she was still living with her mom in her average neighborhood. A voice spoke in the dream: “The present is nothing more than the outcome of the choices made in the past. The future will be the results of the choices we make today.” Gertrude started crying average sized tears, because she knew that she helped shape the world in which she lived, and the choices she made produced the options she had. She woke up with her pillow wet.
Gertrude was relieved to be back in middle school. She took a little more care in getting herself ready that morning, and she felt better than normal. She tried harder in school, and she felt smarter than usual. She helped more around the house and it looked better. Sure, there were still lots of things that Gertrude struggled with, but just trying her best made her feel better when she didn’t succeed. Gertrude even became great at failing by learning from her mistakes.
【1】Which of the following words can best describe Gertrude in Paragraph 1?
A.Popular. B.Optimistic. C.Common. D.Aggressive.
【2】Where did Gertrude’s problem actually lie?
A.In herself. B.In her family. C.In her teacher. D.In her studies.
【3】What did Gertrude learn from her dream?
A.It is shameful to be an average kid with an average life.
B.The choices she makes at present will shape her future.
C.The present is not the result of the choices made in the past.
D.She could hardly do anything for the world in which she lived.
【4】What can we say for sure about Gertrude from the last paragraph?
A.She suffered more. B.She failed in her attempts.
C.She changed her attitude. D.She was glad about failures.
27、Panic Buying
Shoppers around the world are crazy buying because of fears over the coronavirus(新型冠状病毒), which caused a critical plague in China and even other countries at the beginning of 2020. People in countries such as England, Japan, Singapore and Australia have been emptying supermarket shelves of toilet paper, face masks, hand wash products and dried and canned food. Photos and videos of shoppers in Australia quarreling over the last pack of toilet roll in a supermarket have spread across social media swiftly.
However, governments have advised their citizens that there is no need to “panic buy”. They added that panic buying would only reduce the supply of products needed by patients and medical staff, which could exacerbate the problems the COVID-19 virus is causing. Singapore's prime minister comforted Singaporeans that: “We have enough supplies. There's no need to stock up.” A week after the panic buying fever, things have calmed down and shoppers have gone back to purchasing items in normal quantities.
Psychologists say panic buying is an “unwise” behaviour that is part of a condition called FOMO - the fear of missing out. Dr. Katharina Wittgens said a herd mentality(从众心理) sets in during disasters that causes people to copy the actions of others. People watch the news of items being bought in quantity and immediately rush out to the stores to do the same. She said people were taking on too much the risks of dying from the coronavirus. She said: “Far more people die in car accidents or household accidents per year but we don't panic about these things in the morning before we go to work.”
【1】What made shoppers in different countries crazy buying?
A.The approach of 2020 New Year’s Day.
B.The shortage of resources and supplies in their nations.
C.Their concern about the virus.
D.The discount from supermarkets.
【2】What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.solve
B.release
C.worsen
D.quicken
【3】What is the reason for this behavior according to expert?
A.People tend to follow others’ actions in the period of disaster.
B.People are wiser in making decisions.
C.People think no one needs the supplies.
D.People do not believe what others said.
【4】What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A.People should not panic over the virus.
B.More people die from car accidents.
C.People buy little when they go to the stores.
D.We should panic about the situation.
28、 Mother’s Day is a time for children, young and old, to show how much they appreciate their mothers. Mother’s Day started in the US, where it’s celebrated on the second Sunday in May. 【1】
It became an official US holiday in 1915. It was the result of the love of one girl, Anna Jarvis of West Virginia.【2】 As a girl, Anna helped her mother take care of the garden and filled it with white carnations (康乃馨), her mother’s favorite flower.
When Mrs. Jarvis died on May 5, 1905, Anna was determined to honor her. 【3】 On the same Sunday in Philadelphia, a minister honored Mrs. Jarvis and all mothers with a special Mother’s Day service. Anna Jarvis began writing to the government, asking them to set aside a day to honor all mothers. In 1910, the governor of West Virginia made the second Sunday in May Mother’s Day.
【4】 Other children give their mothers gifts that they’ve made themselves or bought from stores. Adults give their mothers red carnations, the official Mother’s Day flower. White carnations are placed on the graves of mothers who are no longer alive.
Mother’s Day is now celebrated in more than 40 countries, including Denmark, Finland, Italy, and Australia. 【5】 In France, Mother’s Day is the last Sunday in May. A cake in the shape of flowers is presented to mothers at a family dinner.
A.So why is it celebrated on different dates?
B.But do you know the origin of Mother’s Day?
C.Anna’s mother provided great support for the family.
D.But not all countries celebrate Mother’s Day at the same time.
E.The second Sunday in May was the Sunday closest to her mother’s death.
F.She asked the minister of her church to hold a special service in honor of her mother.
G.On the morning of Mother’s Day, some American children serve their mothers breakfast in bed.
29、Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear people speaking Chinese aloud.【1】 After walking into a store, it’s possible that you’ll see Huawei smartphones for sale. This isn’t referring to China, but Manchester, UK.【2】Indeed, Chinese products have gone global.
【3】But to meet local people’s tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. “One example is the meat”, said Yin Hang, who is studying at the University of Wollongong in Australia. “We like to eat meat with the bone in, but people here don’t. So Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish.”
【4】In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers, reported Reuters. More than half of US-owned drones (无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They’re not simply made in China, but designed and developed in the country.
In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But things have changed greatly.【5】“For example, Huawei, one of China’s major smartphone makers, overtook Apple in global smartphone sales for the first time in June and July last year,” noted consulting firm Counterpoint Research.
