24、 For four years, Christopher Schacht lived a life on the go. He traveled 65,000 miles to 45 different countries. Around the world 50 Bucks( 元 )tells of Schacht’s great journey, from his town in northern Germany to some of the most faraway places in the world and back again. Thanks to a translation by Jane Gesme, this international bestseller in English is on sale now.
Reading Schacht’s book is like ping-ponging between worrying about your daredevil (胆大妄为的) son and being proud of your older brother. At parts, I was really frightened for his safety. In order to eat. he worked any job he could find -sailor. waiter, gold miner, model. He mostly slept in hammocks (吊床) on the street or else in his tent. He hitchhiked(搭车) everywhere,even across oceans as he found jobs on sailing boats in return for food and a bed.
However, Schacht’s book does not doubt people. He believes that many people in the world are kind, helpful and curious. This friendliness probably saved his life many times.
Though not perfect for everyone. Schacht’s ways of traveling force him to look for help from others. He meets a Canadian living on a boat in Colombia, who used to be an excellent cook. Schacht needs to learn how to cook in order to get a job on a ship to Panama. In these high-stress moments, Schacht only has a little time to find a way to his next destination ( 目 的 地 ). The relationships he makes along the way are life-changing. As he learns. “In most situations it is quite easy to help someone move forward when they would not have done it alone.”
From sailing across the equator (赤道) to speaking bad Korean in Gyeongju Schacht takes us around the world in surprising detail. Like Schacht, we are also thankful for the journey. We feel even more pleased that Schacht chose to share it with the world.
【1】The passage is written to introduce us ________.
A.a book B.a film C.a cook D.a writer
【2】Schacht did any job he could find on the way because ________.
A.he could do anything very well
B.he was the best person for the job
C.he enjoyed helping others do anything
D.he didn’t take enough money during the trip
【3】In Schacht’s opinion, ________.
A.many people he met on the way were daredevil.
B.it was friendliness that saved his life many times.
C.you need to doubt any people you meet on the way.
D.it’s not difficult to help people in trouble move forward.
25、 Though water does not seem all that exciting, it is very valuable. The Ancient Greek people believed all the fresh water on the Earth came from a river called Okeanos. They imagined that clouds collected rain from its magical waters (海域). The reason they believed in this is because water is important for humans, Doctors say that without water we would die in about one week.
There are two places that our fresh water comes from. The first is surface water, which includes all the water in lakes or rivers. The second is groundwater, which refers to all the water that comes from under the ground.
Water must be treated before it can come out of the tap (水龙头). First, anything harmful in the water must be removed. Then a cleaning agent (净化剂) is added. This will destroy any remaining germs (细菌).
There have been reports of factories in China letting waste water leak into the ground. Industrial waste water is a big problem as it can pollute our drinking water. Even if the water is treated, it is unfit for drinking. The Ministry of Environmental Protection has improved the water in China since 2004. In 2011, 76 percent of water was safe for dinking. But treated water should always be boiled before drinking.
Some countries have more fresh water resources (资源) and this means that it is easier for them to treat their water.
A report from a British Consulting Firm called Maplecroft found that Iceland has the best fresh water supply in the world. That is because most of the tap water in Iceland comes from pure mountain springs. No treatment of any kind is required before Icelandic people drink their delicious water.

27、Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation—their young trees?
Professor Simard , forest ecologist( 生态学家) from the University of British Columbia, explains how trees are much more complex(复杂)than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin(达尔文) thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard and her team have made a new discovery and showed just how wrong he was. In fact,the opposite is true: trees survive through their group work and support, passing around necessary nutrition (营养) like Nitrogen (氮) and carbon "depending on who needs it".
Nitrogen and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, This makes sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.
Simard talks about "mother trees", These are usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. These “Mother Trees” are connected to all the other trees in the forest by this network of fungi, and may manage the resources of the whole trees and plants in the forest. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "Mother Trees" without paying attention to these highly complex "tree societies" or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances to save the whole forest.
"We didn't take any notice of it" Simard says sadly. "Mother trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance." If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.
【1】The underlined sentence "the opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees_______.
A. compete for survival B. protect their own wealth
C. depend on each other D. provide support for dying trees
【2】"Mother trees" are extremely important because they________.
A. look the largest in size in the forest
B. pass on nutrition to young trees
C. seem more likely to be cut down by humans
D. know more about the complex "tree societies"
【3】The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refers to__________.
A. how "tree societies" work B. how trees grow old
C. how forestry industry develops D. how young trees survive
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans
B. Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection
C. Trees Are More Awesome Than You Think
D. Trees Contribute To Our Society
28、Reading the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.
The private automobile(私家车)has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has e【1】 the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.
For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to t【2】 their children to distant schools.
Family life has been a【3】in various ways, The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can't keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by s【4】 or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims(受害者)of such accidents have f【5】 an organization called MADD(Mothers Against Drunk Driving. These women want to prevent further tragedies(悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age, Students have formed a similar organization, SADD(Students Against Drunk Driving)and are spreading the same message among their friends.
For many Americans the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a m【6】 of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an a【7】. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.
