24、Think of some great minds you like. You will probably find that their success didn’t come easily. As “Father of Hybrid Rice（杂交水稻）”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to increase rice production and helping to feed the country with the largest population.

Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery（肝胆外科）”, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years. He did more than 16,000 operations during his life. Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers, but he still kept doing operations. Wu once said, “It would be my greatest happiness if I could work at the operating table until the last moment of my life.”

In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria（疟疾）, Tu Youyou, worked as head of a research team. They did different kinds of experiments. However, the results were not satisfactory. Instead of giving up, they kept trying. Finally, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, at the age of 85, she received the Nobel Prize.

Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb believed that every failure was step towards success. He once said, “If I find 10,000 ways that won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong try is another step forward.”

Sometimes, their success was a surprise, even to themselves, even after a long time after their hard work. The famous scientist Alexander Fleming said, “When I woke up just after daybreak on 28th September, 1928, I just began another busy day with my research as I did many days and nights before. And I certainly didn’t plan to make a great difference to all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic（抗生素）. But I guess that’s exactly what I did.”

Some people only became successful after their deaths. Not like Pablo Picasso who became famous and very rich during his lifetime, the artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2,000 artworks in the following ten years. Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds.

One thing all these people have in common is that they never give up and stick to their goals no matter what happens.

【1】What do Yuan Longping and Wu Mengchao have in common?

A．They succeeded in solving world problems.

B．They spent all their lives serving people.

C．They achieved a lot in the medical field.

D．They are remembered for their happiness.

【2】The underlined phrase deformed his fingers means ________.

A．changing the shape of his fingers

B．made him feel down

C．gave him too much pressure

D．got his fingers cut off

【3】It is clear that ________.

A．Pablo Picasso became famous after his death

B．Vincent Van Gogh painted 2,001 artworks in his life

C．it took Tu Youyou’s team about 3 years to reach their goal

D．Thomas Edison tried 10,000 ways before he invented the light bulb

【4】When Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic, he ________.

A．felt too tired too stay awake

B．didn’t plan to study all medicine

C．knew exactly what his success meant

D．didn’t fully realize its importance

【5】What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A．Not everyone can be successful.

B．The more difficulties, the better.

C．Great achievements aren’t made naturally.

D．Great hopes make great men.

25、The English Language Assistants program is very famous in the UK. 【1】 I took part in the program last year and spent six months in a small town called Privas in France.

The small town lies in the southeast of France. It is a beautiful place. 【2】 Lots of chestnuts (栗子) are produced there every year. There is even a festival about chestnuts.

The quiet environment and comfortable lifestyle made me fall in love with Privas. The school where I taught was a great place to learn about French culture. 【3】 People greet each other by kissing on the cheek. The number of kisses depends on where you are in France. On my first night in Privas, I stayed with a host family. They told me that in most places in France, people give two. 【4】 And in Privas, the custom is to give three. This made me sometimes wonder which cheek to kiss first. Since I had long hair, when a person was kissing me, some of my hair would end up in his or her mouth. That was really funny and awkward (令人尴尬的). But people there were pleased that I was getting used to the local culture.

【5】 It was an unforgettable experience and I can’t wait to return there some day.

Choose five sentences out of the six in the box to complete the passage. Each choice should be used only once.

A．And it’s famous for its chestnuts.

B．There are many museums in Privas.

C．In the north of France, they give four kisses.

D．I learned some special French customs there.

E．Six months of staying there made me feel like part of the town.

F．Every year, it sends many language teachers to support the teaching of English in other places around the world.

26、Every day people get on trains, planes and prepare to take risks. But what about the deep sea? Covering about 70 percent of the earth’s surface, there is still much to be discovered about the biggest unknown part of the world. The underwater world is such an amazing place. Have you ever wanted to have a try?

From tourist submarines (潜艇) to underwater restaurants, undersea tourism is catching people’s eyes. Submarine tours have been on in more than 20 places in South America and Europe. The submarines receive nearly 2 million tourists each year and the number is still growing. Passengers can see the colorful coral reefs (珊瑚礁) and sunken (下沉的) ships through the big windows of them. Now there has been a move to connect art with the underwater tourism. Passengers who love art can also watch amazing art works in underwater museums like the Australia’s Museum of Underwater Art.

For a more fantastic experience, tourists can enjoy nice food under the sea. In 2016, the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa opened the world’s first underwater restaurant, Ithaa. Sitting in the restaurant, you can enjoy the beauty of the ocean. But it isn’t cheap. The dinner costs about $400 per person. Be sure to book it early. Because the restaurant has only 14 seats.

Undersea tourism has also brought more attention to the importance of protecting oceans and the animal life that calls them home. British artist Jason Taylor, whose artwork can be seen in a lot of underwater tourist places around the world, feels this is key.“Most people just see the surface of the ocean and it is hard to imagine that things underwater are so easy to be hurt. We don’t consider our oceans as important as our lives and we should.”

28、   我国的垃圾分类（waste sorting）正处于起步阶段, 垃圾分类势在必行。下面是关于垃圾分类的相关信息, 请将其补充完整, 每空一词。

When throwing away rubbish, do you know which bin it should go in? Have you ever noticed the differently-colored bins【1】 the street?

Some of you might not be able to answer this【2】. However, it’s actually quite important to know how to sort your waste. 【3】you don’t sort your rubbish, all of it will go to a landfill and be buried（埋）together．

“Wet” waste is known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want but that pigs can eat.”

The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to ______ my life. I had my arms full of books and I was walking into the classroom when I ran into something.
