24、Traffic lights are red, yellow and green. They are very important signals. Traffic lights are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic. Sometimes, they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught what each of the colored lights means, so everybody can stay safe.

The first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put alongside railway tracks. The color red was used to mean “stop” because it warned people of danger. A red light was also the easiest color to see from a distance. Train drivers could see the red “stop” light ahead and had enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean “take care” and a white light meant “go”.

However, there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant “go”. So the signals were swapped. The “go” light was changed to green and the “take care” light was changed to white.

During these times, people travelled by train or in carts pulled by horses. Years later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers were not very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow people to cross safely.

Today, towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights. Red and green lights match the signals used on the railways. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop.

【1】Why did people use the color red to mean “stop” ?

A．Because the color red kept people from danger.

B．Because the color red was the hardest color to see from a distance.

C．Because the color red helped trains run quickly

D．Because the color red warned people of danger.

【2】What does the underlined word “swapped” probably mean?

A．交换

B．采用

C．设计

D．否决

【3】How did the “ take care ” light develop?

a. A white light.       b. A green light.       c. A yellow light.        d. A red light.

A．a-c-b

B．b-a-c

C．b-c-d

D．a-b-d

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Traffic lights are only placed on busy streets.

B．A star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant “go”.

C．Yellow warning signs had to be placed when the cars were built.

26、   Strawberries look nice, but a light pressure can make them out of shape. Nowadays, there are many young people who are just like strawberries. They easily break down when they face difficulties. They don't know what to do when they are in trouble. They have a common name—strawberry kids.

Why are many students so easy to break down? Parents and schools are a main reason. Parents do almost everything for them in their daily life, while schools care more about their grades instead of developing their personality(个性).

Liu Yue, 13, is from Fujian. His mom hardly criticizes (批评) him and he always feels good about himself. When a teacher criticized him strictly, he felt surprised and sad. He began to doubt his ability.

Students should do something to make themselves mentally strong. An expert said, "When you are in trouble, don't ask for help too quickly. You should try to deal with problems first by yourself. I also advise you to take an active part in sports and social activities. That can make you mentally strong. "

Growing up is not just a happy process(过程). Pains also go along with it. The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子的正（T）误（F）

【1】Some students are called "strawberry kids", because they all like to eat some fruit, especially strawberries.

【2】Liu Yue's mother often criticizes him.

【3】Parents do almost everything for their children in their daily life.

【4】According to the fourth paragraph, students should ask for help quickly when they are in trouble.

【5】The writer advises students to be brave in the face of pains.

27、Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in a rich environment. Therefore, the limits（限度) of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view is now held by most experts.

It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is, the closer their intelligence is likely to be. If we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relatives like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.

Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important part. This result is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.

【1】How is man’s intelligence given?

A．At birth

B．Through education

C．Both at birth and through education

D．Neither at birth nor through education

【2】What does the underlined word mean in the first paragraph?

A．稳固 B．确定 C．修理 D．安排

【3】According the passage, if a child is born with low intelligence, what might happen to him later?

A．Become a genius.

B．Still become a genius if he should be given special education.

C．Reach his intelligence limits in rich environment.

D．Never reach his intelligence in his life.

【4】What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory?

A．The importance of their intelligence.

B．The role of environment on intelligence.

C．The importance of their jobs

D．The part that birth plays

28、六、短文填词。

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often【1】guests(旅客) with things like disposable(一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste(牙膏), shampoo(洗发水) and slippers(拖鞋).

Many guests like the idea【2】they don’t have to bring their own. But if you travel to Beijing, 【3】[rɪ’membə(r)] to bring these things of your own. That’s because some hotels in Beijing have no longer provided guests with these disposables (一次性用品). Many disposable things are【4】(make)of plastic. People throw them【5】[ə’weɪ] after only using them once. It’s a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment.

In Beijing, people throw around about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of lunch bowls every year!

Plastic can take 100 to 400 years to break down(降解). So the【6】 (little) plastic we throw away, the better environment we will have.

So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and 【7】. Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your【8】[‘evrideɪ] life:

Use【9】(clothes)shopping bags, not plastic ones.

After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then use it over and over again.

Do not use paper cups.

At your school canteen (餐厅), use your own bowls and chopsticks instead【10】 disposable ones.
