A famous Anglican Church stands in a quiet corner of Dunedin in New Zealand's South Island. Built in 1865, it is the city's oldest church still in use. Countless couples have gathered here to marry. It's where morning tears are shared, friendships formed and comfort given during times of loss.
As with many churches, its walls are graced with a collection of beautiful stained glass windows. Known as the “John Allen window”， one window portrays the short life of a local man, John Allen, who died in 1915 in the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey.
John was the son of Sir James Allen, who as Minister of Defense, helped plan and administer New Zealand's World War Ⅰ strategy, which saw 100，000 troops sent to fight. With the war over and his son dead, Sir James chose to install a window in the church, with which the Allen family had strong ties.
Divided into two parts, one depicts (描绘) St. George, the patron saint (守护神) of soldiers, while the other has an angel of peace, along with the words at the bottom, “John Hugh All Gallipoli, 6th June，1915”. Two trees with local birds on the branches can be seen and a kiwi walks at the bottom—reminders that John was a lover of birds.
“There are many war memorials in the church，” says the church. “However the ‘John Allen window’ stands out; it touches people because of the beautiful design, the New Zealand birds and because John's story, of a life so full of promise ending tragically in the war, reflects the lives and stories of so many others involved in World War Ⅰ.”
24．What does the underlined word “portrays” in Paragraph 2 most Probably mean
A.Starts. B．Changes.

26．What might be the main theme of the pictures on the window
A.Freedom and equality. B．Peace and war.
C.Human and nature. D．Marriage and family.
27．What might be the best title for the text
A.A Brave Soldier B．Window on a Life
C.Cruelty of the War D．A Grand Church

On Sunday, undersea explorer Tim Taylor and his team at the Lost 52 Project announced that they had located the long lost submarine on June 5 about 1，427 feet underwater off Okinawa, Japan. Last year, researcher Yutaka Iwasaki found that the Navy had originally made an error in translating the Japanese war records that detailed where the Grayback had likely sunk. All this time, the Navy's historical records had listed an incorrect site for the submarine's location.
With the help of autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles and advanced imaging technology, the team discovered the Grayback about 100 miles from the area where it was originally thought to have gone down. The discovery was officially confirmed by the Navy, Robert S. Neyland, the head of the Naval History and Heritage.
On January 28，1944, the Grayback set sail from Pearl Harbor for the East China Sea. About a month later, the submarine reported sinking two Japanese ships on February 19. Though the Grayback was scheduled to arrive in Midway on March 7, more than three weeks passed without sight of the submarine. And on March 30, 1944, the Grayback, one of the most successful submarines of World War Ⅱ， was reported lost.
Gloria Hurney, whose uncle Raymond Parks died on the Grayback, said that she wasn't sure that the Grayback would ever be recovered. So when she first learned of the discovery, she felt a mixture of shock, disbelief and sadness. Eventually, though, those feelings turned into relief, comfort and peace. Hurney said in a statement to CNN, “I believe it will allow recovery as relatives of crew members come together to share their stories.”
28．Why was the submarine not found before
A.The Navy was wrong in changing records into Japanese.
B.The technology was not so advanced.
C.No information about the submarine was obtained.
D.There was no need to find it.
29．How was the submarine located
A.By accident.
B.By the Navy's hard work.
C.By the families' determination.
D.By modern technology.
30．What can be inferred from the text
A.People's feeling about the discovery was complicated.
B.The Grayback would be recovered soon.
C.The Grayback was the most successful submarine of World War Ⅱ.
D.The Grayback was supposed to reach the destination on April 7.
31．What is the main idea of this text
A.Tim Taylor and his team announced a new discovery.
B.A World War Ⅱ submarine was discovered.
C.An opportunity to remember and honour the service of sailors.
D.A mistake the Navy made in translating the Japanese war records.
D
In 1917 Orville Wright predicted that “the aeroplane will help peace in many ways—in particular I think it will have a tendency to make war impossible”. Earlier in 1904, American journalist John Walker declared, “As a peace machine, the value of the aeroplane to the world will be beyond computation.” This wasn't the first grand promise of technology. In that same year Jules Verne announced, “The submarine (潜艇) may be the cause of bringing battle to a stoppage.”
Alfred Nobel, sincerely believed his dynamite (火药) would be a war obstacle：“My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions (公约).” Similarly, when Hiran Maxim, inventor of the machine gun, was asked in 1893, “Will this gun not make war more terrible？” He answered, “No, it will make war impossible.” Gugliemo Mareconi, inventor of the radio, told the world in 1912, “The coming of the wireless time will make war impossible, because it will make war ridiculous.” General James Harbord, chairman of the board of RCA in 1925, believed, “Radio will serve to make the concept of Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men a reality.”
David Nye, a historian of technology, adds to the list of inventions imagined as abolishing war forever and leading to universal peace the hot air balloon, poison gas, land mines and laser guns.
It is not that all these inventions are without benefits—even benefits toward democracy. Rather, it's the case that each new technology creates more problems than it solves. “Problems are the answers to solutions，” says Brian Arthur.
Most of the new problems in the world are problems created by previous technology. These problems are nearly invisible to us. Every year 1.2 million people die in automobile accidents. The technological transportation system kills more people than cancer. Global warming, environmental poisons, nuclear terrorism, and species loss, are only a few of the many other serious problems troubling people.
If we embrace (拥抱) technology we need to face its costs.
32．What will new inventions do according to the first two paragraphs
A.They will increase wars.
B.They will lead to peace.
C.They will serve people.
D.They will break conventions.
33．What invention was considered to make war silly by its inventor
A．The radio. B．The aeroplane.
C．Dynamite. D．The machine gun.
34．Why does the author list so many inventions
A．To show people's creativity.
B．To appreciate their benefits.
C．To contradict the original ideas.
D．To prove grand promises.
35．What does the author hope to tell us about new technology through the text
A.It will experience many tests.
B.It will bring about huge costs in the world.
C.It provides answers to many problems.
D.It presents more problems than it solves.

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighbourhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们).
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It was not until he got home that he realised he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it a secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali's running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learnt that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted, he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.

Ladies and gentlemen，
As the saying goes, “Friendship is like sunshine, and it keeps us warm and helps us grow.” I think it is important for us to make good friends so that we can always hang out together and have fun.
Personally, I like to choose people who are kind, honest and helpful as my friends. I like to share my thoughts and fears with them whenever I get into trouble.
In addition, I have some good friends who trust me. I always care about what has happened to them, so I phone them once a week. I try to offer some advice to my friends when necessary. In my opinion, only in this way can I maintain friendship.

参考范文：
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finishing line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down, Ali couldn't help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Filled with delight, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the thrilling news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. She was really nervous about whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. “Zahra, see what I have got for you.” He took the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you! Ali.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and sister hugged tightly together.

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighbourhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们).
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It was not until he got home that he realised he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it a secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali's running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learnt that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted, he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.

Ladies and gentlemen，
As the saying goes, “Friendship is like sunshine, and it keeps us warm and helps us grow.” I think it is important for us to make good friends so that we can always hang out together and have fun.
Personally, I like to choose people who are kind, honest and helpful as my friends. I like to share my thoughts and fears with them whenever I get into trouble.
In addition, I have some good friends who trust me. I always care about what has happened to them, so I phone them once a week. I try to offer some advice to my friends when necessary. In my opinion, only in this way can I maintain friendship.

参考范文：
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finishing line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down, Ali couldn't help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Filled with delight, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the thrilling news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. She was really nervous about whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. “Zahra, see what I have got for you.” He took the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you! Ali.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and sister hugged tightly together.
