B When you travel in many cities in Europe, you can see a special kind of street show—living statue(活人雕塑) show. This kind of show has a long history. It started in Paris, France. The performers(表演者) put on lots of makeup(化妆品) and are usually dressed as famous people. It’s not easy to be a living statue. The performers have to stay completely still(完全静止) for hours. If you want to ask them something, you will probably not get an answer, because they never speak. So why do they do such a tough job? Well, some do it simply for fun. But for most, it’s a way to make money. If people love their performance, they often give the performers some money. Really good performers have also got a problem. Because they perform very well, people may just pass them, thinking they’re real statues. So now the performers let themselves make small movements(动作). The performers may have some tricks(小把戏) to make people give them money. If someone gives them some money, they may lift a hat, hand over a flower or reach out their hand to touch the person. ( )26.

What should the performers do to look like real statues? ①Wear heavy makeup. ②Put on common clothes. ③Keep still for a long time. ④Dress up as someone else. A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ D. ②③④ ( )28. What does the underlined word “tough” probably mean? A. Boring. B. Relaxing. C. Difficult. D. Dangerous. ( )29. What doesn’t a living statue performer do when he / she gets money? A. Sing a song. B. Lift a hat. C. Touch you. D. Give you a flower. ( )30. What is the best title of the passage? A. How to Be a Living Statue B. The History of the Living Statue C. The Sad Life of a Living Statue Performer D. A Popular Street Show—Living Statue Show C 配对阅读。左栏是五个人的英语学习情况，右栏是英语学习网站。请根据这五个人的情况介绍，配对其最适合的英语学习网站配对，其中两项多余。 ( )31. Kelly is studying English in Canada.
