26、   You may ride on your bicycle in a rush to get to school every morning. You may fight to get a bit of space on a bus or on the subway. You may also watch taxis crawl their way through traffic jams.

No matter where you are, all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days. Although they all have their problems, many cities also have a type of transport that has become a cultural icon (文化标识).

In London, to avoid the traffic above ground, people use the “underground”, also called the “Tube”. The city has the oldest and most complicated underground railway system in the world and it is the pride of many Londoners. With 12 lines and 275 stations across the city, the Tube is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting around London. In London, you are never far from a Tube station.

New York is famous for its Yellow cabs. They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across Manhattan, where the subway doesn’t take you everywhere. Stopping a cab is easy, just stick out your arm like what you do in any city. But, with over 12,000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple, they also cause traffic jams.

Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service, the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of San Francisco. Although once damaged by a serious earthquake and challenged by cars, it is never caught in traffic jams and provides better views than the subway.

But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles. If you visit you’d better rent a car. The city’s public transportation is terrible. It can take hours to get across town by bus. The subway covers just a small part of the city centre. The light rail line only runs between the Long Beach hotel area and the city centre. That’s why Angelenos love their private cars more than any other people in the world.

【1】How will you travel if you have a chance to London and want to avoid the traffic jam?

A.Riding a vehicle. B.Taking a taxi.

C.Taking the subway. D.Renting a car.

【2】Which type of transportation has become a cultural icon of the Big Apple?

A.Noisy vehicles. B.Cable cars.

C.The subway. D.Yellow cabs.

【3】Which of the following is not the reason why people in Los Angeles like their private cars?

A.The public transportation is terrible.

B.It is not expensive to take a private car.

C.The underground railway covers a small part of the city center.

D.People have to spend hours getting across Los Angeles by bus.

【4】The passage is mainly about ________.

A.how different the big cities are

B.how to avoid the traffic jams in big cities

C.why London has the oldest and most complicated subway

D.why people call New York the Big Apple

28、   Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels. However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, then you'd better save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious, and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.

For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research,  including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.

While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.

Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U. S. Department of Agriculture(USDA) states that “whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste.” Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.

【1】What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean? ______

A.Organic food helps you save money. B.Organic food contains much more nutrients.

C.Organic food is worth the high price. D.Organic food is not always nutritious.

【2】Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that ______ ．

A.organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease

B.traditional food was grown with more natural methods

C.both organic and traditional food they examined were safe

D.there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food

【3】Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?

A.Organic chicken and pork B.Organic milk and chicken

C.Traditional chicken and pork D.Traditional fruit and vegetables

【4】What is the author's attitude toward organic food？ ______

A.Doubtful B.Unconcerned C.Positive D.Supportive

29、   A handwritten letter by a little boy asking Santa for a “very good dad” has captured hearts worldwide.

The boy, known only as “Blake” in the letter, wrote, “Dear Santa, We had to leave our house. Dad was mad. We had to do all the chores. Dad got everything he wanted. Mom said it was time to leave and she would take us to a safer place where we don’t have to be scared.”

“Blake is a 7-year-old boy in one of our shelters, and his mom found this letter in his backpack...” Posted by SafeHaven of Tarrant County on Wednesday, December 18, 2019.

“I’m still nervous. I don’t want to talk to the other kids,” he continued. “Are you going to come this Christmas? Can you bring a dictionary, and a compass and a watch?”

The most heart-wrenching part of the letter was the last line that read, “I also want a very very very good dad. Can you do that too?”

Officials with SafeHaven of Tarrant County, a group seeking to help end domestic (家庭的) violence, posted Blake’s letter to its Facebook page. Now, some of the child’s wishes have come true. All of the gifts he asked for have been donated by people in the community. Though SafeHaven received more than 10,000 gifts this year, they want to shine a light on the bigger issue of domestic violence.

“To us, it was kind of a story that we’ve heard all the time,” Kathryn Jacob, the organization’s president and CEO, told Today. “Like tonight, we have 73 kids in the shelter. Blake is just one of many.”

30、   Most teens I meet these days lack basic social courtesy(礼仪) when dealing with people.

My own son, who basically _______ with his grandmother, the original manners guru(专家), has perfect table manners. This is partly because he was_________to manners at a very young age. However, when we eat at home, he would not _________manners. So I asked him why. He said, 'I behave the way I am supposed to _________ when I'm out, but when I am at home，I want to be _________.'

That's when I realized that most parents, myself included, do _______ their children the proper way to behave outside the home, but they are also _________to believe that at home, anything goes.

My _________to him was 'good behavior has nothing to do with where you are or whom you are with'.

Then he answered, 'But I behave _________when I'm with others so that they think better of me. ' And that is when I realized that I was doing things all __________. I explained to him that it had nothing to do with what people think. This __________ him even more.

So I went on to explain that behavior, whether in your everyday __________with people or at the dining table at home, is an __________ of who you are. Well, at the age of 13, he got it.

So basically, what I am saying is that teaching your children ________ comes with the underlying(暗含的) lesson that it is not about __________ to do or not to do, but rather, who they are. This way it is not __________; it comes from within.

Teach your teens or children the__________courtesy of greeting their friends' parents and __________themselves when they go to someone’s home.
