He says he has seen penguins in South Africa and toured the attractive rural areas of New Zealand and the Netherlands. He says one of his only regrets is missing out on a submarine(潜水艇) ride in Hawaii. Yet nothing pares with his home province, he added. “ When it es to natural beauty, there is no place like Zhangjiajie,” he said. “ It is the best in the world.” Yis wife, Zhang Yuqing, 73, supports her husbands addiction to travel. “I like traveling, too,” she said. “But unfortunately Im unable to travel abroad after breaking my leg.” The couple plans to visit Russia together once Zhang is fully recovered. They are always reminded of Yis exciting experiences, as three walls of their homes are entirely used to display his travel photos.

However, one local businessman decided that selling the poor quality air as a souvenir (纪念品)would be a great idea. Believe it or not, he was right.After seeing a number of panies achieve mercial success by collecting fresh air from countries like France, Canada or Australia and selling it in China, Dominic Johnson-Hill, a British-born citizen of Beijing, decided to turn the idea on its head and sell polluted Beijing air throughout China and abroad.“Id seen people going crazy to buy canned air from Canada and Australia, so I thought it was time to push business the other way,” he said. “Theyre perfect gifts! What else are you going to take home when you go home from Beijing? A roast duck? A special T-shirt? These cans are light and able to be carried easily, so you can just imagine someones face when they open them.”The few mouth-fulls of Beijing air e in standard tin cans, featuring a couple of city landmarks. Also, there is a description of the contents in these cans, including a unique blend(混合)of nitrogen（氮气）, oxygen and some other stuff (物质). The tongue-in-cheek souvenirs cost RMB 28 and are available at the Plastered 8 shop, as well as on its online shop. But if you are actually considering buying some, youd better ask the shop. The reason is that they are almost flying off the shelves. Johnson-Hill said that his shop is selling hundreds of Beijing air cans every day.One thing thats not particularly clear is whether the air is really collected from Beijing, as the cans are labeled as “Made in Shenzhen”. 28. According to the local businessman, selling the polluted air is_. A. a fantastic idea B. against the law C. a bad idea D. a crazy business29. What is the passage mainly about? A. Some measures should be done to avoid breathing polluted air. B. Selling polluted Beijing air bees a hit. C. Chinese people are in great need of fresh canned air from abroad. D.

We are not sure about where the polluted air is collected. D. The polluted air cans doesnt sell well.31. According to the author, the businessman is very_. A. foolish B. smart C. brave D. energeticDIt was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas xx. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a plete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced(影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.32. Why was the bike so important to the couple? A. The mans job was bike racing. B. It was their only possession(财产). C. It was nice Kona 18 speed. D. They used it for work and daily life.33. We can infer from the text that_. A. the couple worked 60 hours a week. B. people were busy before Christmas. C. the stranger brought over the bike. D. life was hard for the young family.34. How did people get to know the couples problem? A. From radio broadcasts. B. From a newspaper. C. From TV news. D. From a stranger.35. What do the couple learn their experience? A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike. C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot. 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。A small robot may help children who are recovering from a long-term illness in the hospital or at home.
