24、   Was it probable that Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai and Western hero King Arthur meet and fight against each other? Yes. In a game called King of Glory(王者荣耀). Created by Chinese company Tencent, King of Glory was one of the most popular MOBA games in China in 2017.

About one in every seven Chinese people plays the game, and 55 million of them play it every day. The game is easy for beginners. Social media like QQ and WeChat have also helped the game’s community grow. New players can be invited to play the game by their WeChat contacts(联系人), with some seeing it as a good way to keep in touch with old friends and make new ones.

The game has more than 60 characters to unlock and play as you progress, each with their own special style and abilities. The characters cover different times and countries. Some are real historical characters, like Li Bai. Some are not. Players use them to fight against each other or team up to fight. The winners can reach higher ranks(排名).

However, some people think King of Glory gives the students incorrect information about events and people in history. For example, the poet Li Bai is described as a killer; Jing Ke, the man who tried to kill the first emperor of China, is a girl in the game. But more people worry about children playing the game too much and spending too much money on it. Most of the players are below the age of 19. It’s reported that a 17-year-old boy had a stroke(中风)after playing the game for 40 hours.

To change the situation, Tencent added a time limit feature to the game to prevent kids from playing too much. From July 4, 2017, children under 12 years old can play the game for only one hour a day, while users between 12 and 18 get two hours. Those who try to play beyond the time limit will be locked out of the game.

A．It is the most popular online game in the world.

B．It offers 60 characters for players to choose from.

C．All of the characters are real historical characters.

D．Players fight against each other or team up to fight.

【2】The best title of the passage is _________.

A．King of Glory-easy for anyone to play

B．King of Glory-popular around the world

C．King of Glory-inviting you to play

D．King of Glory-adding a time limit

25、   There once lived a man with his wife and children in a very small house. There was always noise in his house as his children played, laughed and sang. He could find no peace at all.

Life in this noisy house was unbearable (无法容忍的). So the man decided to turn to a wise old woman nearby. He told her about his problem. As she was a wise lady, she had an answer for him at once.

“Go home and bring all of your farm animals to live in your house,” advised the woman. “Bring in your sheep, horses, cows, chickens…” The man thought it was not a good idea. But since the old woman was known for her wisdom, he agreed to do as she said. He went home and brought inside all the farm animals he had. As you can imagine, it was out of order at home. The animals made all kinds of noise. The dogs barked. The sheep cried.

The man could find no peace at all. So he went back to ask the wise old lady. She listened patiently and then said, “Go home and take all of the animals out of your home.” The man was confused(困惑的) as it had been only a few days since she had advised him to bring them all into his house. But he agreed to follow her instructions. He returned to his house and drove all the animals outside. Surprisingly, there was peace in his home.

26、   About thirty years ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the two-wheeled transports were soon replaced by their fuel-powered competitors ( 对手).

Recently, normal bikes are seen across China, with an increasing number of people choosing riding instead of driving to schools, to workplace or to go sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing plan, led by new companies, like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the heat to a new level.

According to the research made the first week of this year, there were about 5.85 million users of Mobike while Ofo had 1.4 million users. People can unlock the shared bikes by using their Smartphones. The bikes are set with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They are popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective way to the“last mile” problem, which means the final part of a person’s journey. “In places where the underground cannot reach, where it’s difficult to change from one kind of transport to another, it’s so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike,” Hu Hong, 29, told AFP. She rides to her Shanghai Company every day.

However, the plans also have some problems, such as illegal( 违法) parking, damage and stealing. Last month, two nurses in Beijing were caught by policemen for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes. And in December, a man who stole a shared bike was put in prison for 3 months and had to pay 1,000 yuan.

Now, Chinese service runners are trying to solve these problems. For example, Mobike sets a100-point score for each user. Points will be taken away when bad behavior happens. Once a score drops below 80, the price of renting a bike will rise to 100 yuan per 30 minutes, up from 0.5-1 yuan.

A.Users always destroy the bikes. B.Users park the bikes everywhere.

C.The bikes are sometimes stolen. D.The number of bikes is increasing.

【5】Peter's score is 60 now. If he wants to rent a Mobike for 1 hour, how much should he pay for it?

A.100 B.150 C.200 D.300
