26、 Marshall McLuhan used the term "global village” in his book Understanding Media to describe how mass media in particular the telegraph and radio, was making the world spatially smaller by allowing people from all comers of the globe access to the same information. In contemporary Limes the term “global village” most commonly refers to the internet, which takes it one step further: now people around the world can not only access the same information, they can also access each other, immediately. Seemingly worldwide electronic communication is bringing us all together under one global cultural umbrella” promoting mutual understanding and hopefully reducing conflict. Although it is attractive to believe this is the case, in fact the ease with which people can now connect electronically has only changed the ways in which people interact, not the basic form of those interactions. The world is no more a village than it ever was.
The term "village” brings to mind a community that has held together for mutual protection. Members of a village have a vested interest in the survival of other members: there is strength in numbers, and if your crops fail, chances are that your neighbor will help you until the next harvest. Since the introduction of the internet, the idea of a community no longer necessarily means everyone lives right next door to each other, but the basic idea of unity and mutual care remains. People who connect online do so because they are interested in similar things: they are somehow alike, just as people in real villages are often related through family or industry.
【1】What does the underlined word "it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Telegraph. B.Radio. C.Media. D.Internet.
【2】How many functions does worldwide electronic communication have on the surface?
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
【3】Why do people connect online?
A.Because their parents ask them to do so. B.Because they are different from each other.
C.Because they are all fond of similar things. D.Because they are interested in different things.
【4】Where may the passage probably come from?
A.A news report. B.A fiction book.
C.An ad website. D.A science newspaper.

28、There are a number of reasons that can be given as to why children should be taught swimming at a young age. If your child knows the basic swimming skills, you can be at peace when your child is near the water. If you are in the process of teaching your child how to swim, then here are some points that you should keep in mind.
♦ Help your child pick a bathing suit. If you child wants to wear bathing suit and get wet then it is certain that your child will be able to handle the water.
♦ If the pool has steps, then it is great. Start from these to help your child gain some confidence. You should make sure that there is one place in the pool where your child can be left safely.
♦ The best way to teach your children to swim is to make them join swimming classes. In this way, you will be at peace because there is a professional trainer around your children who can teach them all the tricks of swimming. You can join in the parent-child lessons to make your child feel comfortable. If your child is a bit older, then get permission and sit by the pool to watch him/her learn. When you get your child admitted to swimming classes, make sure that the lessons go according to the swimming goals that you have set for your child.
Swimming is a fun activity and you can make it easy for your children to understand and coordinate(协调)the movements of their arms and legs will take some time. But, with regular practice and training this can be overcome. So, start with the basics and be around your children when they are learning how to swim. Once they know how to swim, then you can be at peace when they play around the water.
【1】The pool with steps can make your children ________.
A.excited and clam
B.confident and relaxed

29、For centuries, humans have explored the Earth’s mountains, jungles and deserts. But despite covering over 70% of the Earth’s surface, the ocean is still relatively a mystery. In fact, we know more about the surface of Mars than we learn about the sea floor. However, getting a fuller picture of the ocean would enable us to pilot ships more safely, create more accurate climate models, build offshore wind farms and protect ocean species — all part of what’s known as the “blue economy”.
Underwater robotic vehicles equipped with sensors are helping gather that data more quickly and more cheaply than ever before. But many of these vehicles rely on batteries with a limited lifespan, and need to return to a boat or the shore to recharge, making it difficult for them to map remoter parts of the sea.
A company called Seatrec is rising to the challenge, founded by oceanographer Yi Chao. While working at NASA, he developed a way to power ocean robots by making use of the naturally occurring temperature disparity of the sea. As the robot moves between colder and warmer parts of the ocean, the material inside the power module either melts or becomes solid, causing pressure that in turn creates energy and powers the robot’s generator. “The ocean robots can get charged by the sea, so they can extend their lifetime almost indefinitely,” Chao said.
The power module can be placed in existing data-gathering robots. The robot dives a kilometer down to examine the chemistry and the shape of the seabed, using sonar to create a map of the surrounding area. The robot returns to the surface to send back its findings via satellite.
The technology can extend the reach of data-gathering devices, according to Jamie McMichael-Phillips, director of the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project. “One of the huge challenges we have is simply physics: unlike mapping the Earth’s surface where we can use cameras or satellites, at sea, the light can’t go through the water column. So we’re much limited to using sonar systems. Therefore, this technology can help deal with the problem well,” said Jamie.
【1】What does Paragraph 1 tell us about ocean exploration?
A.It is challenging but significant.
B.It may do harm to ocean creatures.
C.It can be as difficult as space exploration.
D.It mainly focuses on mapping the seabed.
【2】What’s a barrier to present underwater robotic vehicles’ working successfully?
A.That they fail to gather data rapidly.
B.That they lack the stable power supply.
C.That they can only map shallow waters.
D.That they work poorly with advanced sensors.
【3】What does the underlined word “disparity” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Control.
B.Restriction.
C.Difference.
D.Measurement.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Aims of the Seabed 2030 Project
B.The prospects of data-gathering robots
C.The “blue economy” project of Seatrec
D.New power modules for ocean robots

31、根据汉语提示补全短文。
Based on the 【1】(心理学) behind creating a desire to buy, advertisers have developed ways of persuading people into 【2】(购买) their products or services. A common technique to make an impact is to create a 【3】(难忘的) 【4】(口号). 【5】(口号) use simple but impressive language to make us remember the product or service being advertised. Some of these slogans may also appeal to (迎合) our emotions. For example, a slogan may connect a fine china 【6】(茶壶) it aims to promote with our pride in having good taste. You will hear a variety of slogans any time you watch TV. Think about your favourite one. What makes it special? And what message does it try to 【7】(被传达)? A slogan which communicates an idea effectively can【8】(使增长) sales and even becomes part of popular culture. That is the power of memorable slogans.
Another technique advertisers often employ is to link their company or product to a “【9】(品牌)【10】(大使)”-a famous actor, a sports star, or even a fictional character. Think of a popular fast-food restaurant. Does it have a 【11】(品牌大使)? Is the 【12】(品牌大使) popular among potential customers? The more we like the brand ambassador, the more we will be attracted to buy the product.
32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Henry was a college student at UC Santa Cruz. For years, he had been saving up to buy a decent used car. He had a part-time job at a local coffee shop. He repainted a room in his neighbor’s house in his free time. He had an internship (实习) at a software company. He saved a lot: Christmas money, birthday money, a penny here, a penny there.
While Henry worked to buy a car, Hua Kuan had a car to sell. Kuan was born and lived in Mexico for about 13 years. His parents had immigrated there from China.
In Mexico, he didn’t really grow up in a very nice area. He had to work when he was young, a lot of restaurant work—cleaning dishes, bussing tables.
Kuan’s family headed north to California in the late 1990s. A few years later, he was awarded a full scholarship to UC Berkeley. During Kuan’s junior year, his proud parents bought him a first car.
Kuan’s parents were blue-collar workers, and worked very hard for their money. They bought the car for their son, which was the only gift they were able to provide for him. And Kuan had been driving that car since it was brand new for about 14 years.
However, Kuan is a 35-year-old dentist now. His friends convinced him to upgrade his ride, so he listed his beloved car for sale on Craigslist. By chance, Henry saw the ad for the black car with gold wheels and over 150,000 miles. However, it was priced at $7000. He fell in love with the car the first time he saw it, and thought it just might be the one. Although it was a little bit over his budget, he determined to take a chance.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
So last Saturday, he headed north to meet Kuan.
