26、Chinese sprinter Su Bingtian has dedicated his emotional men’s 100-meter final run in Tokyo to star hurdler Liu Xiang, the first Chinese athlete to win a gold medal on the track in the men’s 110 m hurdles in Athens 2004.

Finishing sixth in 9.98 seconds, Su is the first Chinese to qualify for the Olympic 100 m final after setting an Asian record of 9.83 seconds in a highly competitive semi-final. Before Su, the last time an Asian runner reached the final of the Olympic blockbuster event was at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, where Japan’s Takayoshi Yoshioka finished last.

“I have always been in contact with Liu Xiang, and he is constantly encouraging me and supporting me.” Su told China Media Group after learning that Liu was singing his praises on social media. “When I broke the 10-second barrier, Liu was there. So, for me, he is not only my idol but also probably my god of luck. I am very grateful to him because he is really a trailblazer for our Chinese track and field team,” he said.

Liu held the world record in 110 m hurdles with a time of 12.88 seconds in 2006 but was affected by an Achilles problem in the latter stages of his career and pulled out of the Beijing and London Olympics due to recurring injuries.

Su highlighted the fact that before Liu, no Chinese athlete had ever won a medal in an Olympic sprint event and for all Liu’s injury records, he is an inspiration to all. “If Liu Xiang had not come to prominence, many people might not have dared to dream that we could appear in the final of the Olympic Games and that we Asians were able to win a track and field gold,” said Su. “I finished sixth in the 100 m final, and hopefully, I could also bring encouragement to younger athletes and drive more young Chinese players to break the 10-second barrier.”

【1】Why did Su Bingtian mention Liu Xiang before the media in Tokyo?

A．To cheer himself up.

B．To express his gratitude.

C．To make a comparison.

D．To show he was ambitious.

【2】What information can we get about Su Bingtian from paragraph 2 ?

A．He set a new record with a time of 9.83 seconds in the semi-final.

B．He was the first Asian to run in the Olympic 100 m final.

C．He was the second Asian to reach the Olympic 100 m semi-final.

D．He finished sixth in the Olympic men’s 110 m hurdles in Tokyo.

【3】Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “trailblazer” in paragraph 3?

A．coach.

B．follower.

C．volunteer.

D．pioneer.

【4】What’s the main reason why Liu Xiang dropped out of the Beijing and London Olympics?

B．His old injury recurred.

C．He was not fully prepared.

D．He lost interest in the events.

27、   I like staying overnight at my granny Ruiz’s house until she starts telling me how wonderful my cousin Maya is. Then it’s Maya this and Maya that until I don’t ever want to hear another word about her.

That’s why I wasn’t too excited when granny called me to “come on over”. When I got there, it was worse than I expected. Maya sat there, all dressed up.

Maya was taller than I’d remembered her from her last visit four years ago. She was talking about how nice to see me again. But I could tell that she didn’t really think so.

I couldn’t remember what it was I didn’t like about her. The last time she was there, we’d had hours of fun together. After that, I’d heard about her only through granny’s tales. Now Maya looked great with the latest haircut and a beautiful dress. I glanced down at my jeans and sneakers. It was bad enough that she was granny’s favorite-smarter and more talented than I was-but elegant, too? This was too much.

Maya’s words crashed through my thoughts, “I hear you like skating,” I was surprised, wondering how she knew about my skating.

“I hear you take piano lessons,” I countered. A funny look crossed her face and she nodded.

“I hear you were captain of your softball team,” she said.

“Wait a minute,” I said. “How do you know this?”

Maya shrugged and looked down. “I hear about you all the time from granny’s letters.”

“Granny tells me about you all the time, too!” I said. “I even know you wear a size-three shoe!”

Maya laughed. I also smiled, knowing now that granny had two favorites.

【1】We can infer that the author felt ______ every time granny talked about Maya.

A.excited B.curious

C.surprised D.uncomfortable

【2】Which of the following statements is NOT true?

B.They both knew a lot about each other through their granny.

C.Maya was happy about the get-together but the author wasn’t.

D.The author loved sports, such as skating and playing softball.

【3】What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Fun Time with Maya B.Granny’s Favorite

C.Our Loving Granny D.A Surprise Get-together

28、In 2015 the project of an architectural (建筑方面的) company won the most important art award in Britain, the Turner Prize. The Turner Prize was established to celebrate developments in contemporary art, which is the art of today. The win by the company, named Assemble, was a surprise as architectural projects are not usually seen as art.

The Turner Prize website describes Assemble as a company from London “who works across the fields of art, design and architecture to create projects with the communities who use and inhabit them.” They won the prize because they work with local people in an ongoing way when they do a project.

The project that they won the prize for is called Granby Four Streets, which is in Liverpool. The Granby Four Streets are four streets of terraced houses in an area called Toxteth in Liverpool, a city where the famous music group, the Beatles, came from. In fact, terraced houses were a terrible eyesore in the city. One could hardly believe these rows of houses, in such a bad state, were right in the inner city of a big British city.

However, over the past ten years, local people have cleaned the streets, planted trees and flowers in them, painted the empty houses and organized a busy monthly street market. They also founded a Community Land Trust to take care of the terraced houses. A Community Land Trust is a not-for-profit organization run by volunteers that delivers housing and other community facilities at affordable levels or local people. Their goal was to get the area beautiful and livable again to make their city a better place.

Local resident Hazel Tilley was asked if Assemble's work was really art. She replied, "It's recognizing the humanity in art. It's not this piece of work of art that goes into some rich person's warehouse; this is something that you live with. And it's art for the people.”

【1】Why was the win by the company named Assemble unexpected?

A．Because Assemble's work appeals to many communities.

B．Because architecture projects are seldom referred to as art.

C．Because Assemble is a company working across many fields.

D．Because the Turner Prize website views Assemble as a community.

【2】What can we know about the terraced houses in Toxteth?

A．These terraced houses were rows of houses in a good state.

B．These terraced houses were sold by the Community Land Trust for profit.

C．The Beatles, a famous music group, once lived in one of these terraced houses.

D．Local people set up the Community Land Trust to tend to these terraced houses.

【3】What is the main idea of paragraph 4?

A．The reason why the Community Land Trust was set up.

B．The benefits that local people have got from the community.

C．The efforts that people have made to improve the community.

D．The influence that the Community Land Trust has had on the city.

【4】What is Hazel Tilley's attitude to Assemble's work?

A．Supportive.

B．Opposed.

C．Uninterested.

D．Doubtful.

29、Once upon a time, there was a beautiful bird, which was very curious about hell. When she was little, her mother always told her that if she didn’t master the flying skills, she would go to hell. She was so curious about hell that she always asked others what hell looked like, but no one was sure, because none of them had ever been there. Some said hell was a place full of water, and others told her that hell was full of burning fire. However, the bird knew they were lying. She wanted to find out what hell was.

When other birds were learning flying skills, she always hid herself and watched them. She thought in this way she could go to hell and see what hell looked like. However, she spent so little time learning flying skills that one day she was caught by a little boy. The little boy gave her to his grandpa in the countryside as a gift. The old man liked her very much. He made a delicate cage and put her in it. The bird was very worried because she thought she couldn’t find out what hell was like staying in this small cage. However, she couldn’t escape. Day after day, she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying. She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened the cage, but she was too weak to fly. Lying on the ground, she thought of the question that she ever asked all the time.

“What does hell look like?”

“Hell is a small well-decorated cage.” Before she closed her eyes forever, she finally answered that question herself.

【1】What does the underlined word “master” in the first paragraph mean?

A. Miss.   B. Finish.   C. Follow.     D. Learn well.

【2】Why did the bird hide herself when other birds were learning flying skills?

A. Because she was lazy.

B. Because she didn’t like learning flying skills.

D. hell was a small well-decorated cage
