I became terribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escapedtheir search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those away. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously(无意识地) locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I dont know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didnt want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. Do you have kids? he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled(摸索) for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that Id never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my prison and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.24What had happened to the man before ?A. He had been badly treated.B. He had been searched.C. He had killed someone.D.

Besides Shanzhai electronic products, there are Shanzhai movies, Shanzhai stars and even a Shanzhai Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Years Eve.Shanzhai has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous. In Chongqing, Shanzhai version Birds Nest and Water Cube woven(编织) by farmers with bamboo attract wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.A literature critic said that taking the Shanzhai Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the Shanzhai version appears timely to attract people. Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, Shanzhai culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds, he said.To the mainstream（主流） culture, the rise of Shanzhai culture is a challenge and a motivation（推动）. People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect way and it is for the public to choose.28The Chinese word Shanzhai may have started with_.A. electronic products B. fake cell-phonesC. Spring Festival Gala D. Olympic buildings29According to the passage, Shanzhai culture means_.A. the action that a person imitates famous peopleB. products with poor techniques and qualityC. anything that are copies of something famousD. those similar names to famous brands30We can infer that the mainstream culture_.A. is held back by Shanzhai cultureB. is the challenge ofShanzhai cultureC. will be replaced by Shanzhai cultureD. may develop faster because of the challenge of Shanzhai culture31The underlined word imitates is closest in meaning to_.A. copies B. stealsC. advertises D. cheatsDThe biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.The portable(手提的) washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2020, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration(灵感) from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bags design. By 2020, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a shortcoming with his invention dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out(挤出去) and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! Whats even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13-liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when its not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!32What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?A. His job requirements. B. His interest in invention.C. His personal experience. D. A traditional washboard.33Why wasnt Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?A. The invention was not so convenient.B. Clothes couldnt be washed well.C. The bag couldnt contain enough water.D. The cost of the invention was very high.34It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack _.A. turns to be less environmentally friendlierB. will replace the traditional washing machinesC. can encourage more people to travel a long distanceD. will be widely used by more travelers in the future35What is the passage mainly about?A. Comparing two kinds of washing machines.B. Explaining the development of backpackC. Listing some common problems for travelers.D. Introducing a great new invention.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。Five Ways to Improve Communication SkillsCommunication is one of the most important skills we can ever learn.
