In Shanghai, more and more cars have appeared (出现) on the roads since 2002. At rush hour, it can take more than an hour for a taxi to ride from one side of Huangpu River Bridge to the other side. As the government has done a lot to make the traffic condition better, the number of cars on the roads is rising all the time.
Private (私人的) cars have brought about a new class of society, who drive to their offices from large, modern houses in the suburbs (郊区). “I enjoy the drive,” said a big company manager of the 30-minute-trip to his office in the center of Shanghai. “I know that driving cars costs more money than travelling by bus,” he said. “But this way, I feel more comfortable and it is much faster.”

26．句意：每年的九月或者十月。
结合语境可知，本题用or来表示选择，意思是“每年的九月或者十月，世界各地的中国人都会庆祝中秋节。”因此答案填：or。
27．句意：世界各地的中国人都会庆祝中秋节。
由语境可知，本题填celebrate；the Mid-Autumn Festival做主语，谓语用被动语态，由the Mid-Autumn Festival is　　2　　by the Chinese people中的is可知，本题是一般现在时的被动语态，故答案填：celebrated。
28．句意：世界各地的中国人都会庆祝中秋节。
由语境可知，本题填over；all over the world“世界各地”的意思；故答案为over。
29．句意：人们喜欢在晚上相聚在一起赏月。

由语境可知，本题填usually；由后面的句子but nowadays, there are many　　9　　kinds of mooncakes including fruit, coffee,可知，这句话是表示的转折，那么前半句就是说传统上的月饼通常是用果仁做的。因此填usually；故答案为usually。
34．句意：但是现在，有很多不同种类的月饼，包括水果、咖啡、巧克力甚至是冰淇淋月饼。
由fruit, coffee, chocolate可知，这些是不同种类的月饼。因此填different；different kinds of mooncakes不同种类的月饼。故答案为different。
35．句意：但是现在，有很多不同种类的月饼，包括水果、咖啡、巧克力甚至是冰淇淋月饼。我们知道fruit, coffee, chocolate以及ice cream都是月饼的种类，表示并列，因此用and来连接。语境是“有很多不同种类的月饼，包括水果、咖啡、巧克力甚至是冰淇淋月饼。”故答案为and。
