26、How to Train Your Dragon by British author Cressida Cowell is one of the best pieces of children's literature. A child can make a whole alternative universe with a vivid imagination and Toothless, the hero's hunting dragon, thus turning a rainy day into an adventure of a lifetime. However, if you have never read the book but instead choose to see the film version, you might think you were seeing a new-age war movie meant for adults rather than children.

Let's look at Where the Wild Things Are for further discussion. The story centers around a lonely eight-year-old boy named Max, who sails away to an island. Creatures living there declare Max their king.

What an amazing piece of children's literature! A treasure for every child's library. Yet, children were crying in the movie theatre. Owls were falling from the sky, chicken's arms were being torn off, and a child was running around a dark abandoned world fighting evil as the only human. It was almost as if Hollywood could not imagine children enjoying a movie for its basic literature content. Hollywood might be right. But more and more its audience are complaining that there is an increased amount of violence in children's stories today than in the past.

While there appears to be a trend in our society to make more violence more accessible to younger children, books and literature are generally an exception. I truly believe that children's literature has become more vivid, and more colorful. This is a great treasure for the children, and is certainly not violent. What has changed the children's stories of today is not the writers, but the film industry. In some way, children's literature is just being strangely twisted（扭曲）. I wonder how much influence the authors have over this.

【1】The text is mainly about ____.

A. two good books for children

B. how a book is adapted into a film

C. whether children should go to the movies

D. whether children's movie is getting more violent

【2】 It can be inferred that the film Where the Wild Things Are is ___.

A. moving B. frightening

C. interesting D. amazing

【3】According to the text, the author thinks that ____.

A. the film industry's treatment of children's literature is wrong

B. writers should provide more colorful works for children

C. there is an increase in violence in children's literature

D. children should read books rather than see films

27、Saving money, even if only a little, can have a significant effect if done consistently every month. 【1】 Actually, everyone can spend money wisely by following the tips below.

Prepare a budget

This way, you don’t spend too much or don’t always follow your desires. However, it doesn’t mean you sacrifice your desire to have fun. You can make a budget for each need including the need to have fun. 【2】 If you have set a certain amount for self-indulgence (享乐),the amount should not increase until the end of the month.

Have a clear goal

Saving money has many purposes. What is your motivation for saving money? Do you want to buy a house 5 years from now? Do you want to have enough capital to start your own business? If you have a clear goal, you will be motivated to save money. 【3】

Compare prices

When you want to buy something, such as food, clothing, medical supplies or anything,you can compare prices first. 【4】 But, if by comparing prices and then buying from a seller who offers a lower price, you can save more money, why not?

Learn various DIY techniques

What can you do yourself? There’s a lot. By learning various DIY techniques, you can save money for other needs. For example, if you find a hole in your T-shirt, you can sew it yourself instead of going to a tailor. 【5】

A．It does take a little patience.

B．You can also set a savings target.

C．You may think it takes hard work.

D．The goal is to earn additional income.

E．What you really need to do is stick to it.

F．Besides, you can equip yourself with useful skills.

G．You will think of your goals twice before spending.

28、   In June 2015, Hedlund gave herself a challenge: She would go an entire year without buying any clothes. At first she thought she’d try it out on her own. But because she was also in charge of clothes shopping for her husband and young son, she expanded the experiment to also include them. Hedlund found that she spent hundreds of dollars each year on clothes she and her family never actually wore.

With the exception of a single pair of running shoes, Hedlund succeeded in not buying any clothing for anyone in her family for one year. Along the way, the experiment brought her attention to something else: the clothing industry’s wastefulness. This problem, Hedlund realized, was fueled partly by people like herself, who bought too many clothes they didn’t need. These purchases power an industry where pollution, waste and unsafe working conditions are too often seen.

“ I wasn’t really aware of this dark side of the clothing industry,” said Hedlund. “It wasn’t the first thing I took into consideration when I started the challenge, but now it just makes me want to keep not buying clothing.”

It’s possible that consumers’ (消费者) actions can affect a trillion-dollar global industry. By controlling their consumption, consumers can send a clearer signal to clothing producers that they don’t want to buy so much and they don’t want to buy badly-made clothing.

However, minimalism (极简主义) has earned plenty of critics. “Minimalism is OK only when it’s a choice, and its followers are in the well-off middle class,” said Stephanie Land, a journalist for The New York Times. “ For people who are not so well off, it is not really a choice.”

【1】Why did Hedlund include her husband and young son in her experiment?

A.She needed their help.

B.She loved them very much.

C.She was responsible for their clothes.

D.She wanted to face a great challenge.

【2】What was one result of Hedlund’s challenge?

A.She did a lot of running.

B.She bought fewer clothes.

C.She stopped buying anything.

D.She changed her living conditions.

【3】What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Overconsumption.

B.Leading a simple lifestyle.

C.The experiment she did on clothing.

D.The negative effect of the clothing industry.

【4】It can be inferred from Stephanie Land’s words that minimalism __________.

A.is not suitable for everyone. B.should be spoken highly of.

C.is popular with poor people. D.can’t be thought of as a good idea.

29、   Last Thursday, Michael and Linda stood behind large food trucks distributing meals to 4,000 homeless people for their wedding reception on the border town of Kilis. The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception, they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken area.

The idea came from the bridegroom’s father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization. For the past few years, the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who have suffered from natural disasters. He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.

Then he told his son, who was surprised by the suggestion, but soon won over. When he told that to the bride, she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need. They love to share their food, their table and everything they have. And afterwards she was quite amazed about it. So, they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients(接受者)．

On Tuesday evening, the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good. “It’s like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis or sharing something with people who don’t even have the most basic things,” Michael said. “Hopefully, this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need.”

【1】Why was there so many homeless people in Kilis?

A.To attend Michael and Linda’s wedding.

B.To support the organization.

C.To escape the damaging earthquake.

D.To help distribute free daily meals.

【2】How did the couple celebrate their wedding?

A.They treated their friends and relatives to a big dinner.

B.They afforded the entire cost of the day for feeding victims.

C.They shared their happiness with the relatives in Kilis.

D.They took photos with the grateful victims.

【3】What does the underlined word “approached” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.took in B.moved to

C.came across D.consulted with

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I’m an English self-learner, but English is not my first language. Today I am an English teacher. I would like to say that failures are not disastrous. Have faith, keep moving on, and never give up hope, and you will see your hard work pay off.

I was a slow learner when I was little. Before five, I couldn’t even speak in full sentences. Unlike most other children, I seldom interacted with others; I neither cried nor threw tantrums. My extreme quietness made my parents wonder if I was mentally slow, but they were not sure. Actually, I have to confess that my memories of my early childhood are quite unclear.

My learning problems were the result of my mother taking some medicine when she became pregnant with me. Although I was born without any physical defects (缺陷), the medicine did affect my early intellectual development. When I was in elementary school, I learned very slowly and was as quiet as a doll. While my teacher was teaching, my mind often wandered outside the classroom to the playground. As a fifth grader, I finally started interacting with my classmates. That was the first time in my memory that I had some friends.

After heading at full speed for my junior high education, my learning situation got stuck in the mud again. In my country, students entering junior high school had to take an IQ test. It was a test for schools to evaluate students’ learning abilities so that they could arrange them into different levels of classes based on their IQ test scores. I was placed in the “bottom class” as a result of my below-average IQ score. Most of my teachers taught us using easy and slow methods because they considered us incapable of learning much. However, I never wanted to lose faith that I might one day succeed. To prove that when God closes a door, He will definitely open up a big window, a miracle occurred. That’s when I discovered a strong passion for English.

At the age of 13, I found myself deeply interested in English.
