26. To keep slim, Alice will spend half of her holiday practicing Yoga and _____ half learning dancing.

A. another

26. B

解析：理解句子中的half之后，我们可以判断此题意思即为一半时间花在联系瑜伽，一半时间花在学习舞蹈，表示二者之间的词组，用one…the other…，三者以上才选another;所以答案为B

翻译：为了保持苗条，Alice把假期的一半时间用来练习瑜伽，另一半时间用来学习舞蹈。

 

30. The construction of the new art museum started two years ago, but it _____ so far due to various reasons.

翻译：新艺术博物馆的建造始于两年前，但迄今由于种种原因尚未完成。
