24、Suppose that you have some free time to kill. There is an enjoyable short video to watch and an interesting 1,000-word article to read. You can only choose one of the two. Which one will you pick?
Perhaps the video will be your choice. Over the past few years, watching videos online has become a part of many people’s daily lives. The number of people who read long articles patiently has been cut down. Some people fear that videos will one day take the place of text. But in my opinion, this isn’t going to happen.
Videos can in fact help us learn new information more quickly. However, can they help us fully learn about the ancient world? Many historical stories were recorded using only texts. Only through the reading of these texts can we truly and fully learn about what happened during the ancient world and the knowledge people had got.
Short videos are a type of “instant culture”. They come into and leave our minds like flying cars. Often, we can’t help looking for the second video at once after we’ve finished watching one. But can we always remember and understand the contents (内容) of these videos? When we read a long article patiently, we often pay close attention to the contents. What’s more, texts allow us to use our imagination, while videos don’t.
In a word, videos might change the way people learn about the world and the way they make themselves happy, but texts will never be replaced. Texts are like immortal (不朽的) stars which shine from the past to the future.
【1】Why does the writer think people will choose to watch a short video?
A.The 1,000-word article is not interesting at all.
B.Watching videos takes up too much time.
C.Fewer people can patiently read long articles.
D.Videos have taken the place of texts.
【2】How can people fully learn about the ancient world according to the writer?
A.By reading texts.
B.By using imagination.
C.By watching videos.
D.By talking with old people.
【3】What does the underlined word “instant” mean?
A.Slow.
B.Quick.
C.Small.
D.Big.
【4】What is the writer trying to do in the passage?
A.To give advice.
B.To ask for help.
C.To express feelings.
D.To show ideas.
【5】Which of the following can be the best title?
A.Texts Will Never Be Replaced
B.Texts—a Way to Learn about Past
C.Videos Are Enjoyable and Popular
D.Videos—the Best to Kill Free Time

26、Choose the best answer (根据文章内容,选择最恰当的答案):
Do you have a passport? A passport is a very important personal document when you travel abroad. It is also a great treasure for every holidaymaker because each page provides wonderful memories of each visit. Here are some of the most bizarre and interesting facts about passports from Britain.
Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was once offered a passport with the number 007, the code number for fictional special agent(特工) James Bond. However, she turned it down. The passport with 007 now belongs to Geoffery Howe, a member in Thatcher's government.
Everyone needs a passport to travel around the world, but one person doesn't. Although she may not travel abroad as much as she used to, Queen Elizabeth II has traveled around the world – all without a passport. According to the U.K., it is unnecessary for the queen to have one because British passport is issued(颁发) in the name of Her Majesty. However, it doesn't mean that the entire British royal family doesn't need passports. All the other members, including Prince Philip and Prince Charles, all have passports.
The British passport had a very long history. The oldest passport still in existence in Britain dates back to June 18, 1641. And there is the signature of Charles I on it.
In addition, the British passport is one of the most powerful passports in the world. Anyone with a British passport can travel 174 countries without a visa(签证). It is as powerful as passports from Finland, Germany, Sweden and the U.S.A. However, U.K. travellers pay some of the highest passport costs in the world – more than people in China and Russia. On average, British people have to pay about 72.5 pounds for the passport.
