24、Every year, more than 2,600 children arrive in Britain. We ask some new arrivals what they like best about their new lives and what’s different from home.

Jarek, Poland

I don’t know anybody from Poland here, but I’m lucky because the English boy next door is very friendly and kind. We are in the same class! I like teachers here. At home, the teachers seem a bit strict and serious. There are a lot of rules, too. Here, teachers are patient and don’t give much homework. We students go out of school and buy pizza or burgers at lunchtime. We can’t do that in Poland.

Zinah, India

It’s too cold here! I hate doing sports, especially outside in winter. The teacher here is very serious about sports. I prefer science and maths. I love the maths class because the teacher is really funny, just like my maths teacher in India. The school is so big and some students seem unfriendly, and I’m from a small village school, so I think it’s hard to communicate with them.

Daisy &Luck, the USA

My sister and I like living here. It’s cool! My sister loves the British accent (口音). Everybody here is very polite. But we don’t understand all your strange words—we say “yard” not “garden”, and “apartment” not “flat”. The food is better here. There’s Chinese, Indian and Thai. At home we eat too much fast food.

【1】Among the above four children, ______ probably likes the new school life best.

A．Luck

B．Zinah

C．Jarek

D．Daisy

25、When you really love a book, or have just bought a new one that you’re dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it. But those hardcover books can be heavy, and new ones aren’t cheap, either. Sometimes, you’d just rather have a portable (轻便的) paperback — but if it’s a new book you’re after, you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form. Why are books released (发行) as hardcovers first?

Not so long ago, hardcover books were the only type of books. Before the appearance of mass (大量的) production, print runs were limited, and books were hardcover and expensive. Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with (相一致) a huge surge in reading as a relaxing activity around World War Ⅱ. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce, which still holds true today.

Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks, there are several reasons why the hardcover has continued to exist. Because of its history, it passes on a bit more legitimacy (正统性) in the book world than the paperback does. “The hardcover is a mark of quality ... it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to,” Philip Jones, editor (主编) at The Bookseller, explains to The Guardian.

But the major reason why books come out as hardcovers is that people buy them, despite their higher cost. The Economist compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD. “Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality,” according to The Economist. And because they’re profitable (盈利的), publishers can gain more from hardcovers, which “will often sell at twice the price of their paperback equivalent but do not cost twice as much to produce, ”Jones explains.

【1】What can we learn about hardcover books from Paragraph 1?

A．They attract real book-lovers.

B．They are heavy but not expensive.

C．They take a long time to come out.

D．They are not preferred by book-lovers.

【2】The underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.

A．drop

B．success

C．blow

D．increase

【3】The hardcover books are still printed today because they ________.

A．are beautifully edited

B．are worth collecting

C．pass on correct information

D．sell better than paperbacks

【4】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A．To introduce hardcover books.

B．To present a new social finding.

C．To explain a confusing problem.

D．To encourage people to read books.

26、Look around you. What do you see? Lots and lots of stuff (东西) . And it’s likely that almost all of the stuff is man-made, whether it’s a tiny pen or a huge building.

Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science recently made a shocking discovery about our stuff. They found that the mass of all man-made materials is now greater than the mass of all living things on Earth. That is to say, all of our stuff weighs more than the combined weight of every person, plant, and animal on the planet.

“If you didn’t believe before that humans are dominating the planet, then you should believe it now,” said scientist Timon McPhearson.

So why does this matter? For one thing, it shows how much damage we’ re doing to the planet. The more stuff we make, the more natural resources we use. Taking and using these resources damages Earth in many ways. For example, burning coal pollutes the sky and makes global warming worse. Mining for gold and other metals can pollute groundwater.

In fact, this research “shows us our impact on the planet,” according to US scientist Josh Tewskbury. Unfortunately, it doesn’t give us any specific advice on what to do other than to be careful about how we use our natural resources.

【1】Scientists recently found that ________.

A．Earth is facing serious pollution

B．humans can’t live without man-made materials

C．man-made materials will take control of Earth one day

D．man-made materials are heavier than all living things on Earth

【2】The underlined word “dominating” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________ .

A．controlling

B．creating

C．breaking

D．polluting

【3】Paragraph 4 mainly explains ________.

A．how people use natural resources

B．what problems Earth is facing

C．how making things damages the planet

D．why people create so much stuff

【4】What advice should we follow according to the research?

A．We must use our resources carefully.

B．We don’t need to worry about pollution.

C．We should recycle when we can.

D．We shouldn’t use any man made materials.

【5】In which section can we see this passage?

A．Entertainment.

B．Fairy tales.

C．Science.

D．Advertisement.

27、Where do you usually use the mobile phone, at home, on the bus, or in the street while walking? Anyway, schools are certainly no longer a place to use it.

Recently, a rule on mobile phone use was passed in China. According to it, students had better not bring mobile phones to school. If they want, they need to get their parents’ and school’s permission (允许). What’s more, all phones must be kept by teachers during class time.

It’s said that the main purpose of the rule is to protect students’ eyesight (视力) and prevent them from getting lost in the Internet and video games.

In 2019, China had 175 million Internet users under the age of 18, with 74% having their own mobile phones, according to a report last year. The report found mobile phone users in this group used their phones mostly for online learning, listening to music and playing games.

It’s reported that teachers mustn’t ask students to finish homework on mobile phones. Schools should provide more public phones to help students get in touch with their parents.

Parents and teachers widely support the rule. In a survey on Weibo, 54% of 1,900 people said they believed it wasn’t necessary for school children to take mobile phones to schools. Over a quarter wanted a more flexible (灵活的) rule, with 20% saying students needed mobile phones at school.

28、   Talking about the life of the old people, many people’s first thought might be “Square Dance”. However, in Fuzhou, learning English is 【1】 80-year-old grandpa’s everyday work.

Grandpa Lin is studying two English courses in a university. At one head of his bed, it’s 【2】（total）full of English books. He even thinks that listening to an MP3 player with English 【3】 /kɔnvə´seiʃənz/ is the best medicine for his insomnia（失眠症）. Whoever visits him, he always expects to talk with the person in English. History of learning English dates back to over ten years ago.

From then on, Grandpa Lin 【9】/kən´tinju: d/working hard at English and he made a decision to hold on to his dream.

29、   Up until I went to school, I was a happy child. Then kids found out that learning was difficult for me and they would point out and call me names. I ______ math, English, and science.
