A food delivery man defeated a master from Peking University and won CCTV's Chinese Poetry Conference on April 4, 2018. Lei Haiwei kept calm during the final of the third season of CCTV's Chinese Poetry Conference on Wednesday night, becoming the champion after defeating Peng Min, a master of literature from China's top university.
Lei, from Hunan's Shaoyang, is now working as a food delivery man in Zhejiang's Hangzhou. His interest in poetry was inspired by his father, who would write poems down, stick them on the wall of the kitchen and teach him to read them from a young age.
Lei missed the opportunity of going to university due to frequent school transfers when he was growing up. But that didn't diminish his passion for poetry. Since he was too poor to buy books, Lei would memorize poems in bookstores and write them out when he returned home. He used this unique method to accumulate more than 1,000 poems.
Though Lei came to Hangzhou in 2008 and works as a fast food courier, his love for poems hasn't faded. On his busiest work days, the courier has to deliver more than 50 orders a day. Even so, he seized any available moment to recite poems. 揊or example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants and traffic lights on my way to deliver food. Reciting poems not only enriches my knowledge, but also makes my job less boring,” the courier said.
In November, 2017, Lei went to Beijing and began recording the TV show after standing out from more than 70, 000 people who signed up for the competition. After winning, Lei returned to Hangzhou and continues his delivery work and the memorizing of poems.
Lei's outstanding performance during the final, and his inspirational story , have amazed Chinese audiences.
“His love of learning is so pure, it moved me to tears,” one netizen said. “It always amazes me how some people simply hunger for knowledge,” another shared.
24.Why did Lei Haiwei have no chance to go to college?
A.His family was very poor.
B.He was fascinated with poems.
C.He was too busy to study.
D.He often changed school.
25.The underlined word “diminish” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “________”.
A.inspire B.increase
C.reduce D.encourage
26.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tells us?
A.Lei's work is delivering food for others.
B.Lei's daily life is highly stressful at present.
C.Lei uses any available time to recite poems.
D.Reciting poems improves his knowledge.
27.How did people find Lei's story?
A.Interesting. B.Inspiring.
C.Fascinating. D.Shocking.

There is a common belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.
If spelling becomes the only point of his teacher's interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to 損lay safe. He will write only words within his spelling range (范围). That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content (内容) rather than technical (技术的) ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes. ” It may have been a sharp criticism (批评) of the pupils' technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had failed to read the composition (作文), which contained some beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priority had centered on the child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement.
28.Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ________.
A.students will be able to express their ideas more freely
B.teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
C.students will have more trust in writing
D.students will learn to spell words correctly
29.Which of the following about school education is true?
A.Schools are no longer interested in spelling.
B.Teachers ask their students to write words within their spelling range.
C.Schools attach importance to word spelling.
D.Teachers think the expression of the children is the most important.
30.The writer seems to think that the teacher's judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is ________.
A.reasonable B.unfair
C.foolish D.careless
31.The major point discussed in the passage is________.
A.the importance of developing writing skills
B.the importance of spelling
C.the correct way of marking composition
D.the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition
D
There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.
When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didn't know what it meant. Realizing I didn't follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted_down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.
Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk.
Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn't follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.
In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.
32.When Lily used the word “larder”, she was probably looking for a ________.
A.cup B.ladder
C.cupboard D.cooker
33.What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Wrote down. B.Left behind.
C.Looked for. D.Settled down.
34.According to the passage, in British English ________.
A.the word “pissed” means “angry” B.the word “jacket” is often used
C.the word “engaged” means “tired” D.the word “rubber” means “eraser”
35.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The British way of using words.
B.Some new words the writer's British friends taught her.
C.The reasons why Americans can't follow the British at times.
D.Some words used differently in British English and American English.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
We went to Darjelling during the summer holidays and booked a cottage (农舍) for our stay. Our cook Gopi came with us because we could not do without homecooked meals.
Usually all the shopping was done by our home help—Bharat,_who had accompanied (陪伴) us to our holiday destination. However, one early evening, my_mother decided to do all the vegetable shopping by herself. She believed that Bharat did not wait to check the really fresh items and instead, bought randomly in a hurry. As a result, the vegetables he brought back were not fresh.
After getting ready, she took her favorite purse with quite an amount of money,_thinking she could go to other shops too after finishing at the vegetable market. My mother asked Bharat to get a rickshaw for her and on reaching the market,_she asked the_rickshaw_wallah (人力车车夫) to wait for her. She took a coolie and did her shopping happily, choosing some of the freshest green vegetables available there. At last, her shopping was done. She returned to the rickshaw and sat on it while the coolie put all the things my mother had bought onto the rickshaw.
On reaching home, Bharat took all the packets of vegetables inside and my mother quickly paid the rickshaw wallah and got off, forgetting to collect her purse from the_seat of the rickshaw. The rickshaw wallah left soon after saying goodbye to my mother. All of us greeted my mother and asked her about her evening of shopping with much delight.
Then we began to help my mother prepare our dinner. My father came to help chop the meat; I helped wash the vegetables; we were talking and laughing. When dinner was about to be announced, it was late in the evening, almost 9 p.m..

Good evening, everyone. In today's program I'll tell you something about Ira Marvin Levin.
The writer was born on August 27, 1929, in New York City. He was expected to follow his father into the toy business. But as a teenager, Levin had other ideas. He was so interested in writing. Levin entered a television writing competition when he was at college. He later began to write for TV shows.
While writing for such shows as Lights Out and The United States Steel Hour, Levin worked on his first long story. His first book, A Kiss Before Dying, came out in 1953. He was thought highly of by the public because of this book. The book won the Edgar Award for best first novel the following year. In 1956, the story became a film starring some stars. Then more works followed, including 1968's Rosemary's Baby and 1976's The Boys from Brazil, which were later turned into films.
