24、Once upon a time, a boy was walking through a forest and he thought he could hear a sad cry. Following the sound he came to a big, round, mysterious, grey fountain (喷泉). The sad sound seemed to be coming from the fountain pool. The boy swept aside the pool’s dirty surface water and saw a group of grey fish swimming in a slow circle through the pool.

Surprised by this, the boy tried to catch one of these unbelievable talking fish. But when he stuck (插) his arm into the water, it turned grey right up to the elbow (肘部). As this happened, a huge sadness came into him, and he suddenly understood how sad the fish were feeling.

He quickly pulled his arm out of the water, and ran from that place. But the arm stayed grey, and the boy continued feeling sad. He tried so many times to cheer himself up, but nothing worked. At last, he realized that happiness would be sent back to him through the earth on his arm if he could make the Earth happy.

From then on, he began looking after countryside. He cared for the plants, and he did what he could to keep the water from being polluted. He encouraged others to do the same. He was so successful that his arm started to recover its normal color. When the grey had disappeared completely, he started feeling happy again, and he decided to go and visit the fountain. When he was still some way from the fountain, he could hear the fish singing happily.

25、Spending more than two hours a night doing homework leads to better results in English,math and science, according to a major study (by Pam Sammons, England) which has tracked(跟踪)  the progress of3,000 children over the past 15 years.

Spending any time doing homework showed advantages, but the influence was greater for the students who put in two to three hours a night, according to the study published by the Department for Education in England.

The scientists who did the research say their study empbasizes(强调) what students actually do rather than how much work the school has set.

Pam Sammons, a professor of education at Oxford University, said that time spent on homework showed the influence of the school-if children were expected to do homework and if they enjoy their subjects. "That's one of the reasons Indian and Chinese children do better.They put more time in it." he added.

It's also reported that students who enjoyed school got better results. "Schools could make sure children had a better experience by improving the school environment, making school work interesting and making children feel supported by teachers." Sammons said.

It is suggested that children aged 5 t0 7 should be set one-hour homework a week, half an hour a night for 7 t0 11-year-olds. Secondary schools were encouraged to set up two hours a night for 14 t0 16-year-olds.

"Head teachers should make their own homework policy(政策)," the government says.

26、I hid the long black bag in the garage(车库) for the past two days. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.

It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to finish my plan.

First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10：30 p.m. was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would know my secret.

Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.

It was already eleven o'clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer(锤子).

After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4：00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas brought them this year.

【1】Why did the man feel nervous?

C. He didn’t know where the black bag was.

D. He worried that others would discover his secret.

c. Worked in the moonlight.

d. Dragged the bag from the garage.

e. Went to a party.

A. e-d-a-b-c B. e-a-d-c-b

27、Sports can help you keep fit and close to nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should realize that sport you choose might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource—hungry. Golf(高尔夫), as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental changes. For example, in the dry places of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for (为…承担责任) serious water shortage(短缺) in some local areas.

There are many environment—friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also help you stay healthy. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep thin.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment—friendly equipment and buying products(产品) made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms.” They are better replacements(替代) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms(体育，体育馆) play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership(会员身份). And best of all, it’s free.

【1】Which of following does the writer most probably support according to the passage?

A. Bicycling around the lake.

【2】What does the phrase “resource—hungry” in this passage mean in Chinese?

【3】The writer uses power walking as an example mainly because________.

A. it is an outdoor sport.

B. it is loved by many people.

C. it uses fewer recourses.

D. it is supported by experts.

【4】The writer writes the passage to __________.

28、请根据短文内容和首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

The World Wide Web (WWW) turned 28 years old on March 12th. It has become a very important part in our d【1】 lives. We can’t imagine living without the web, the short form of the World Wide Web.

In 1989, British engineer named Tim Berners-Lee c【2】 up with the idea of the Web. It is a group of “pages” of information that are c【3】 to each other around the world. That is the very beginning of the Web. Since then, the Web has greatly changed the w【4】 people live. With a click (点击) of a mouse we can read news, buy things, make friends and learn anything we’re interested in.

Now, 28 years after its birth, how will the Web i【5】 life in the future? Scientists believe there are b【6】 advantages and disadvantages.

A growing Web will help build “better relationships” b【7】 different cultures. Also in the future, everyday items could be connected to the Web. We could share plenty of information to make our daily lives much easier. So one day in the future, your front door could send you a message. “Dear sir, everyone has left the house, but I’m still open!”

But scientists w【8】 us that if we share personal information on the Internet, it could get into the wrong hands.

“It’s not w【9】 to spend a whole day in front of the screen. People need to get close to nature and enjoy the sun. N【10】 be controlled by the Internet.” said Berners-Lee.
