24、It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

【1】 People with little education usually ______.

A. spend a long time in school

B. have a good chance to get a job

C. spend the best years to choose jobs

D. have fewer chances to get a good job

【2】The earliest education was probably to ______.

A. make a man lead a better life

B. teach a man to write and think

C. make people get a way of living

D. teach people to read good books

【3】The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “______” in Chinese.

A.圆满的   B.崭新的 C.公平的 D.全面的

【4】 It is expected that educated people will be able to ______.

A. accept education as a way of living

B. take an interest in the whole world

C. develop their abilities to make plays

D. learn subjects like language and math

【5】The passage mainly tells us that ______.

A. education should make a man improve

B. people can get education in a short time

C. people should be able to get better paying jobs

D. all subjects are so important for a way of living

25、   A new rubbish sorting system (垃圾分类系统) has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing. Local people not only sort their rubbish, but also put QR codes (二维码) on it.

“When the rubbish is collected and the codes are scanned (扫描), I will get reward points to exchange for small gifts and even some money,” one of the local people told reporters. “It’s really creative and encouraging.”

This smart system has been carried out in 350 communities in Beijing. The capital of China has joined a list of cities in the country that take action to support rubbish sorting. For example, Shenzhen and Shanghai have made laws to punish people and organizations for not sorting rubbish correctly.

China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year. Much of the rubbish is buried (填埋) in soil or burned without being sorted. Landfills (填埋场) take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby. And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases. Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.

What’s more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits (经济利益). For example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent of water. Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successfully sorting systems.

In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins---the red lid (盖子) bin for “general waste” like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for “recyclable (可回收利用的) waste” like steel and glass, and the green lid bin for “green waste”, such as grass and leaves.  On the street, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside. It makes recycling quite easy.

【1】What will local people probably get if they put daily rubbish into the new system in Fangchengyuan Community?

A.A computer. B.A car.

C.A lot of money. D.Some small gifts.

【2】Which of the following is NOT the consequence (后果) of burying rubbish?

A.Polluting soil. B.Polluting water.

C.Taking up a lot of land. D.Saving resources.

【3】Which paragraph discusses the economic benefits of rubbish sorting?

A.Paragraph 3. B.Paragraph 4.

C.Paragraph 5. D.Paragraph 6.

【4】In Australia, which bin should you put food left after dinner in?

A.The red lid bin. B.The yellow lid bin.

C.The green lid bin. D.The black lid bin.

26、When the bell rings, every student takes out an IPad. The light from the screens makes their young faces pretty and lively.

That’s what happens every day at my school in the US. We use IPad in class.

I felt surprised and excited when I got an IPad the first day I arrived at the school. But it was not free. I paid about $99 to rent it for three years.

Every IPad at my school has a special learning system called Focus. Teachers put their teaching materials like textbooks and PPTs on it. When we have classes, we enter the system and download the materials with our IPads.

It makes the classes interesting and efficient. For example, several weeks ago, we learned about former South African president Nelson Mandela. Our teacher prepared a video in which Mandela made an encouraging speech. We could not only watch the video, but also check the transcript (文字稿）at the same time. Because of the video, I know more about the great man.

We also do our homework with IPads. If the homework is made up of multiple choices(选择题），we can know our grades right away after we submit(提交)our homework. If it’s articles, teachers grade them online, without needing to look through so many papers.

However, there are still some bad points about learning with IPads. Some of my classmates play games or log on social networking websites (社交网站）in class.

I believe the key to use Ipads well is to have good self-control (自制力), isn’t it?

【1】The writer paid about _____ dollars to rent an Ipad every year.

A.99   B. 612   C. 33

【2】 How is an IPad used in class?

A. We enter the system－Focus and download the materials with it.

B. We only turn it on.

C. We record what the teacher said in class with it.

【3】The underlined word “efficient” means “______ in Chinese.

A. 有影响的 B.高效的   C. 有活力的

【4】We can’t ______ with IPads

A. do our homework

B. play games

C. grade our essays

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

A. How to use an IPad

B. Have classes with an IPad

C. How to have good self-control

Do you envy people who have a good memory? They only have to spend a few minutes on a page and will r【1】 the content. There are some things you can do to improve your memory. Try these.

Get enough sleeping hours. Lack of sleep affects the brain functions. You need at least seven hours of sleep every night. Give your brain cells a chance to r【7】 the damage done by a day’s work and even more if you drink coffee or alcohol a lot. Eat lots of fruits, vegetables and grains. Aside from (除......以外) being healthy, these foods help you improve your memory.
