26、When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.

When Doctor Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle “No pain, no gain”. He hardly watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional(传统的) wisdom. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water. So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he’d beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.

Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty five years ago. They were all tall and strong.

I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. Adversity(逆境) seemed to benefit Doctor Gibb’s trees in ways comfort and ease never could.

Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately I’ve been thinking that it’s time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to meet with hardship. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won’t be torn apart.

【1】With the trees planted, Doctor Gibbs often __________.

A. kept watering them every morning

B. paid little attention to them

C. talked to them to get their attention

D. beat them to make them grow deep roots

【2】What does the author think of the way Doctor Gibbs planted trees?

A. strange and harmful

B. interesting and funny

C. original and reasonable

D. cruel and unacceptable

【3】Which prayer does the author wish for his sons?

A. Have an easy life, without too much to worry about.

B. Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.

C. Have good luck, encountering less hardship in their life.

D. Be able to stand the rain and wind in their lives.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. Growing roots

B. Doctor Gibbs and his trees

C. Prayers for my sons

D. Watering trees

27、I have learned a great many things from playing football. And it has changed my entire attitude towards life.

In my freshman year at high school, I was shy, had low self-confidence and turned away from seemingly impossible challenges. On the first day of freshman practice, the team warmed up with a game of touch football. However, during the game, I didn't run as hard as I could, nor did I try to escape from my defender and get open. The fact of the matter was that I really didn't want to be the one at fault if I dropped the ball and the play didn't succeed. I didn't want to take the responsibility of helping the team because I was too afraid of making a mistake. That aspect of my character led the first year of my high school life. I avoided asking questions in class, afraid they might be considered too stupid by my classmates.

During my second-year season, my position at backup guard led me to play in the games since another backup guard on my team was seriously injured. From then on, I made mistakes sometimes and was blamed by my coaches indeed. However, those criticisms didn't make my teammates look down upon me, but they helped me a lot. At times I made great plays, for which I was congratulated. Now, I feel like a changed person.

Over the years, playing football has taught me what it takes to succeed. From months of tough practices, I have learned to work hard. From my coaches and teammates, I have learned to work well with others in a group. But most importantly, I have gained self-confidence. I realize that it is necessary to risk failure in order to gain success. Now, I welcome the challenge.

【1】What sort of boy was the author in his early years of high school?

A．Kind.

B．Brave.

C．Lonely.

D．Fearful.

【2】What can we learn about the teammates?

A．They are friendly and warm-hearted.

B．They were seriously injured during the games.

C．They are unsatisfied with the team's performance.

D．They regarded the author as the most important player.

【3】What was the most important thing the author learned from playing football?

A．Practice makes perfect.

B．You get what you pay off.

C．Many hands make light work.

D．Self-confidence is the key to success.

【4】What's the author's purpose in writing the text?

A．To recall his school days.

B．To show his love for football.

C．To share his growth experience.

D．To thank his coaches and teammates.

28、When you hear the name Leonardo da Vinci, what pops into your mind? Maybe his most famous paintings, the Mona Lisa, one of the most famous and valuable pieces of art in the world hanging in the Louvre Museum in Paris, or the Last Supper, the most widely reproduced religious painting ever. Many people call Leonardo da Vinci one of the greatest artists of all time for his great achievements in paintings.

Despite his fame as an artist, da Vinci is also known as a true “Renaissance Man”. The term comes from fifteenth-century Italy and refers to the idea of a person with knowledge and skills in a number of different areas. Perhaps, no single individual defines the idea of a Renaissance man better than Leonardo da Vinci – an artist, inventor, architect and engineer.

Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most productive inventors in history. He drew early sketches of devices that would later become the parachute, bicycle, helicopter, and tank. He even drew a flying machine based on thephysiologyof the bat. Leonardo has also been given credit by historians for many more inventions.

Once in the courtyard of Senor Ludovico, Leonardo da Vinci constantly invented various “labor- saving devices” for use in the kitchen. At the same time, he began to keep notebooks filled with drawings and his thoughts. The funny thing was that most of the drawings, which for several hundred years were considered by researchers to be mechanisms for military operations, in fact, turned out to be quite peaceful meat grinders, dishwashers, mechanical devices for cracking nuts. The restless Leonardo invented the manual garlic press, which has remained virtually unchanged to our day, a foot-operated napkin dryer, an egg cutter, and many other useful things.

The most interesting anecdote about him may be his invention of spaghetti (意大利面条). Of course, pasta has existed in Italy since ancient time. But it was hard and very broad substance, like a heavy lump of lasagna (面块). Leonardo made a machine that cut pasta into long thin strips, which after boiling turned into spaghetti.

【1】Leonardo da Vinci is mentioned as a “Renaissance Man” because ________.

A．he was one of the greatest artists.

B．he had diverse talents.

C．his paintings were universally copied.

D．he was born during the Renaissance in Italy.

【2】What is known about his inventions in the courtyard of Senor Ludovico?

A．They were practical for everyday use.

B．They included many notebooks.

C．They have remained unchanged to our day.

D．They were intended for military operations.

【3】In what way did Leonardo da Vinci change pasta?

A．Taste.

B．Color.

C．Fragrance.

D．Shape.

【4】What is this passage most likely to talk about next?

A．da Vinci’s life experiences.

B．da Vinci’s skills in engineering.

C．da Vinci’s achievements in architecture.

D．da Vinci’s personalities.

29、There's one problem that Silicon Valley hasn't solved even though self-driving cars become more and more popular nowadays. That is the traffic jam. But a U.K. aeronautics and space company, Airbus Group, may find a solution. The company's branch in Silicon Valley recently announced it's been working on a secret project titled "Vahana", an autonomous flying vehicle which can be used for not only passenger but also goods transport.

Airbus' flying taxi is designed to resemble a drone（无人机）, traveling medium-length distances. Developers in France and Germany are working on an electrically operated platform that would allow the flying taxi to carry multiple passengers once between city destinations. The vehicle would initially be manned by a pilot, for no countries allow completely autonomous flying vehicles at present.

Flight tests of the first Vahana prototype（原型）are planned, in the hope of bringing the product to consumers quickly. That's about ten years sooner than another future-travel system Hyperloop One.

"I'm no big fan of Star Wars, but it's not crazy to imagine that one day our big cities will have flying cars making their way along roads in the sky," says Airbus Group CEO Tom Enders. "In a not-too-distant future, we'll use our smartphones to book a fully automated flying taxi that will land outside our front door—without any pilot.

But before you get too excited about beating rush-hour traffic, it's worth noting that the company has a lot of technological kinks to work out before the product is ready to test. The same sensor technology that allows self-driving cars to avoid accidents doesn't exist for aerial vehicles. Airbus Group isn't the only company trying to get in the autonomous air transportation game. There are a number of drone companies on the market and the Ehang 184, a Chinese passenger drone, will begin flight testing in June.

【1】What is the purpose of the Vahana?

A．To explore space.

B．To design a new type of car.

C．To reduce traffic accidents.

D．To find a solution to the traffic jam.

【2】Why would present flying taxi be manned by a pilot?

A．It may cause accidents.

B．It is operated electrically.

C．It is designed to be manned.

D．It is illegally permitted worldwide.

【3】What do we learn in the last paragraph?

A．The Ehang 184 has been tested for flight.

B．Beating rush-hour traffic is in the near future.

C．There is a long way for Airbus Group to go in solving technological problems.

D．The sensor technology for self-driving cars can help aerial vehicles to avoid accidents.

【4】What's the best title of the text?

A．A Self-driving Car is Designed.

B．Airbus May Turn Flying Taxis into Reality.

C．Airbus Joins in the Air Transportation Game.

D．A Bright Future of Autonomous Flying Vehicles.

30、Memories always die hard. True! Thirty years ago, I was a second-year medical student practicing at a near-by hospital. My university’s philosophy was to get students seeing patients early in their education. Nice as it is, it _______one detail: second-year students may know next to nothing.

Assigned to my team that day was a fully-occupied doctor and he told us to start small. Along with me were two guys just as _______ as I was, but in a scarier way: they had recently graduated from medical school as MDs (medical doctor).

But when I arrived in the room of 70-year-old Mr. Adams, he was sitting up in bed, sweating and _______heavily. He’d just had a hip operation and looked terrible. I listened to his lungs with my stethoscope, but they _______clear. Next I checked and found his heart rate had been _______ , but his temperature was steady. It didn’t seem like heart failure, nor did it appear to be pneumonia. So l asked Mr. Adams what he thought was going on.

“It’s really hot in here, Doc”he replied.

So I concluded that his condition resulted from the stuffy room and told him the rest of the team would return in a few minutes, _______ him it was OK. He then _______ a smile and waved goodbye weakly.

Back to my office, still _______ about Mr. Adams, I checked my textbooks and notes. I ________when seeing his symptoms on the page: heavy sweating and shortness of breath ________ clear lungs — that’s pulmonary embolism (肺部栓). Obviously, I made a silly mistake and________consumed me.

“Code Blue Room307!”, however, I instantly called the doctor,________to the room.

________, he was still fine and received the immediate operation.
