Many people believe we can learn everything we need to be successful in life at school. ______ it is not true. In modern society, everything changes very fast. Lifelong leaning means learning new skills and knowledge through our ______ lives, not just when we are young.

24、How long whales live in fresh water has become a matter of some discussion with several visits of whales to fresh water. The interest in this matter first became hottest in 1985 when Humphrey the humpback whale (座头鲸) managed several weeks in the fresh water of the Sacramento River before finally returning to the Pacific Ocean. The matter happened again in May of 2007, when a mother whale and her baby whale entered the Sacramento River.

In general, some experts say that it is uncommon to see whales in fresh water for more than a few weeks because most whales are built for salt water environments. Scientists are not exactly sure how long whales can live in fresh water. In fresh water, they can’t get their regular food. Besides, small cuts, for example, are easily cured in salt water. Fresh water environments do not provide materials which are good for cuts.

Fresh water environments are also not natural for a whale’s swimming and diving activities. Most whales swim in water that is at least 20 feet (6.1 m) deep. Fresh water rivers may be only a few feet deeper than the girth of a whale’s body. This makes them more likely to be beached.

Many whales are migratory (迁徙的) animals by habit. Since they are not used to the route they are taking, whales can easily get lost. Biologists are certain that few whales in fresh water will survive more than a month. Though it may be interesting to see whales in fresh water, it’s a matter of concern (担心) to whale lovers.

【1】What makes the matter how long whales live in fresh water be discussed?

A．Humans want to find more places for whales.

B．Humans want to find fresh water in the ocean.

C．Whales are facing dangers living in the sea.

D．Whales make several visits to fresh water.

【2】What does the underlined word “girth” in the third paragraph probably mean?

A．Health.

B．Width.

C．Warmth.

D．Weight.

【3】Which of the following facts are the scientists sure of?

A．There isn’t plenty of food in fresh water.

B．Whales can live in fresh water quite long.

C．Whales can’t get small cuts easily in salt water.

D．Few whales in fresh water will survive too long.

【4】What would probably be discussed in the next part?

A．The route that the whales would know.

B．The actions taken to keep whales in fresh water.

C．The ways to help whales return to their natural environments.

D．The research on how long whales will survive in fresh water.

【5】This text is most probably from the part of ________ in a newspaper.

A．Travel

B．Geography

C．Science

D．Environment

25、Recently, China Youth Daily did a survey on 2,001 people. They found that half of them stayed alone at home during the epidemic（流行病）, and 66.5 percent of them felt that it was good to be alone. Students had different opinions on the benefits（益处）of being alone.

Wang Yidi, a high school student in Hefei, said, “Staying alone gives us a chance to live our own life, instead of having to care about others’ feelings. It can help us realize what we want, and will make us more likely to make real friends.” And another student named Chen Shuting also thought being alone helped her a lot. Once she gave up trying some exciting rides in an amusement park because her friends were afraid. But later she went back to the park by herself and did everything she could. She said it was wonderful.

However, there were also students who didn’t agree. Li Xingyi thought that staying alone couldn’t help people solve their problems. She said people would get more benefits（利益）by joining groups. Ji Hengyi also said that it might be hard for a person to stay positive for such a long time. At first, it felt good to do something he liked, but after a few days, he couldn’t stand such a boring life and wanted to communicate with his friends and do some social activities.

【1】There were about ________ people who felt good about staying at home during the epidemic in the survey.

26、One morning, Wu Liang discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was too excited about it for the first two days and she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”

Li Yu liked it, too. He said, “Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” It was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups,” said Zhang Ming, an English teacher.

However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.

The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,” added Zhang Ming.

27、Long long ago, people lived a nomadic (游牧民族的) life. When the sun came up, people began to collect food. When the sun went down, they went to sleep.

All of that changed when they began to build towns. They needed a way to tell time and the first useful time-telling tool was invented─the sundial (日晷). As the sun travelled across the sky, it made shadows (影子) on the face of the time of day.

The hourglass (沙漏) was another time-telling tool. It was possible to get a general idea of the time.

In the 11th century, mechanical (机械的) clocks were invented. But they weren’t very accurate. They lost fifteen minutes each day and they became more accurate when small springs (小弹簧) were added to move the hands of the clock. As a result of this invention, clocks became smaller.

Over the next 300 years, many improvements were made to clocks and soon many people could afford a clock or watch. By the 1950s, digital (数字的) watches had been invented in 1967, the atomic (原子的) clock was developed. The atomic clock is accurate to within one second every twenty million years.

【1】What’s the first time-telling tool?

A. The sundial   B. The hourglass   C. The water clock   D. The mechanical clock

【2】The underlined word accurate means “______” in Chinese.

A. 稳定的   B. 固定的   C. 波动的   D. 准确的

【3】Compared with the sundial, mechanical clocks with springs are ______.

A. smaller   B. heavier   C. longer   D. wider

【4】According to the passage, ______.

A. the sundial was invented after the hourglass

B. mechanical clocks were invented in the 11th century

C. clocks were very expensive in the 11th century

D. atomic clocks were invented earlier than digital watches

【5】What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Why clocks were invented

B. How clocks were invented

C. The importance of time-telling tools

D. The history of time-telling tools
