26、 Many visitors to the United States find that the fast pace at which people move is very troubling. One's first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always seem to be hurrying to get where they are going. And they are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment.
At first this may seem unfriendly to you: people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles and brief conversations with people when you shop or dine in a restaurant. Do not think it is because Americans are in such a hurry that they are unfriendly. Life is often much slower outside the big cities, which is true in other countries as well.
Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kind and will take great care to help you.
【1】In American big cities, people rarely______.
A.smile to each other B.move at a fast pace
C.chat with each other in a shop D.dine away from home
【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Life pace is different inside and outside big cities.
B.Life pace is quite slow in other parts of the world.
C.Life pace is the same in different parts of the world.
D.Life pace is similar in American cities, big or small.
【3】It seems that Americans are cold to you because they think______.
A.you are a foreigner B.you know their way of life
C.you are as busy as they are D.you are a stranger there
27、The Sunday Times spoke to 23 people including social workers, psychologists and parents, who said the impact of social media on the mental health of the young in Singapore is concerning.
Mr Cho Ming Xiu, founder of mental advocacy non-profit Campus PSY, said most young people find it difficult not to check on their friends on social media and compare their lives. “You can’t just do well in your studies. You have to be an all-rounder—you have to have a good CCA record, secure a good internship at a reputable company. This constant competition emphasized by social media channels by their peers—when everyone is posting about good things—intensifies competition, and young people find it stressful,” he added.
Psychologists say that the flood of attractive posts can cause feelings of dissatisfaction, especially among young people with less experience to tell the social media world from real life. Assistant director of Touch Mental Wellness Andrea Chan said, “Seeing good things can draw much envy and comparison, while identification with bad things can lead to a negative circle.” And the strengthening of pleasure-seeking posting on social media can result in addiction, said the head of psychology at the Singapore University of Social Science.
Ms Lee Yi Ping, program leader of Community Health Assessment Team, said, “In the event that a young person feels disappointed by the responses received, the depression is often left unnoticed unless the young person openly talks about it with another trusted person. Support must come from family and friends who can constantly remind the young people that no matter how challenging a life circumstance can be, they can overcome it.” “With timely and proper medical and psycho-social treatments by formal sources of support like helping professionals, coupled with informal sources of support like family and friends, young people stand a better chance with recovery and regain the ability to pursue their ambitions in life,” she added.
The experts say if these pressures are left unchecked, negative thoughts and feelings from social media can contribute to depression, anxiety and eating disorders.
【1】What does the underlined word “intensifies” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Ruins.
B．Updates.
C．Heightens.
D．Brightens.
【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The effects of social media.
B．The situation of social media.
C．The reasons for social media addiction.
D．The enthusiasm for good posts on media.
【3】What do we know from Ms Lee Yi Ping’s words?
A．Professional treatment does little to help out.
B．The ambition will reduce unnoticed depression.
C．Support from parents and friends really matters.
D．Young people can overcome the depression alone.
【4】What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A．Experts can address the impact of media.
B．The young ignore the unchecked pressures.
C．Pleasure-seeking posting is supposed to become popular.
D．Negative feelings from social media do harm to the young.
28、Zhong Kaitong, a fourth-grader from Guangzhou, enjoyed a fun vacation this summer. Instead of attending English or math training courses, she played badminton and basketball most of the time.
A new guideline introduced by central authorities on July 24 helped Zhong enjoy some free time during the summer holiday. Aiming to ease(减少)the schoolwork burden(负担)on primary and junior high school students, the guideline calls for reducing homework, improving the quality of education and regulating(规范) after-class activities, Xinhua reported.
According to the guideline, children below the third grade will not have homework anymore. It should take no more than 90 minutes for junior high school students to finish their homework.
Off-campus tutoring institutions(校外培训机构) are not allowed to offer overseas education courses or advanced(超前的) teaching. No subject-based training will be allowed on weekends, national holidays or during winter and summer vacations.
More than 75 percent of children in Chinese cities from grades 1 to 12 are taking private tutoring courses, Global Times reported.
“Parents are worried that if their children start behind, they will stay behind. Some training institutions have taken advantage of parents' anxieties(焦虑) to make money. ” said Chen Xianzhe, a professor at South China Normal University. “The guideline is meant to calm the anxieties of parents and society as a whole. ”
“But this does not mean the tutoring courses will completely disappear, since exams still exist. ” said Chu Zhaohui, a senior researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences. One-on-one or one-on-two tutoring might see a rise due to this need.
“Therefore, schools should improve their education quality, take the main responsibility for students' education and not push them into tutoring courses.” Chu added.
【1】The aim of the new guideline is to ______.
A．make vacations longer for students

B．He thinks the guideline is useless.
C．He is against the guideline.
D．We can't tell from the story.
【5】Chu Zhaohui might agree that ______.

29、Best friends may be priceless but the cost of keeping the relationship alive is £23,870.
According to a study, a BFF (best friends forever) does not come cheap with devoted friends spending £4,679 on birthday presents alone over a lifetime. And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, big-hearted Britons go the extra mile and spend £168 on pick-me-ups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch (艰难时刻)like the breakup of a relationship.
There’s a further £242 spent on presents to show how much they mean from gifts bought on holiday to treats for no reason. And distance does not break up a close friendship as BFFs spend a whopping(巨大的) £18,000 on travel to see each other despite being miles apart because of university, jobs and marriage.
The study by cashback site TopCashBack found on average BEFs who marry can expect £431 spent on them and a further £283 on gifts when they have children. And they can rely on their pals to help out when they move houses as they will obtain £127 worth of housewarming presents and takeaways(a kind of food).
The survey based on a friendship lasting 40 years found more than eight in ten adults with a BFF felt their friendships were worth every penny.
TopCashback spokesperson Natasha Smith said: “Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives. However, they come at a cost. From train tickets once a month to flights and a new dress for a wedding on the Italian coast, the price paid for having a best mate can soon add up. But when we asked people to compare their friendship with the financial investment(投资), only 14% thought their friendship was equal to their investment with the vast majority thinking it was worth more."
【1】 What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. generous B. ambitious
C. troublesome D. energetic
【2】To keep the relationship, where do BEFs spend the most money?
A. Buying birthday presents.
B. Cheering up a friend in low spirits.
C. Paying for holiday gifts and other treats.
D. Going a particular distance to visit friends.
【3】What is Natasha’s understanding of BEF friendship?
A. It’s costly and unaffordable.
B. It’s expensive but worthwhile.
C. It’s rewarding but hard to keep.
D. It’s changeable but worth possessing.
【4】 How is the passage developed?
A. By listing figures.
B. By giving examples.
C. By analying causes.
D. By making comparisons.
