24、“Colour” and “color”， “favourite” and “favorite”… Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a “u”? Is it because they are lazy?

Of course not. In fact， the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster(1758-1843). He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger. Linguists（语言学家） celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16. After the Revolutionary War（1775-1783）， Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary， rather than rely on British versions. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.

Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining preposterous (unreasonable)， he wrote， “A republican government in the hands of females is preposterous.”

Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70，000-word dictionary in 1828 with his American-style spellings. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.

“He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity，” said Joshua Kendall， who is working on a biography(传记) about Webster. “He at last bonded（联合） us through our language.”

【1】 According to the passage， when he worked on his dictionary， Noah Webster did all of the following EXCEPT__________.

A. dropping “u” in all the British words.

B. changing “centre” into “center”

C. adding local words

D. voicing his opinion

【2】Why did Noah Webster create these differences in his dictionary?

A. Because he wanted to make English simple and easy.

B. Because he wanted American English to have its own characteristics.

C. Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK.

D. Because he wanted to achieve political freedom.

【3】 Which of the following would probably be the best title for the passage?

A. Webster’s Dictionary.

B. American Identity

C. The Shaper of American English

D. Spelling Differences Between American and British English.

26、“I wish I had long hair.” “I’d love short hair.” “I’d like to be taller.” “I wish I was shorter.” At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else.

However, the people we see on TV and our phones often give us unrealistic (不切实际的) ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our health and self-esteem (自尊).

At first, you must have body confidence (信心). Body confidence is when someone accepts and acts kindly towards his or her body. That includes weight and height, appearance (外貌) and even physical disabilities (身体残疾). Jade Parnell, from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it brings for you”. If you feel confident about your body, you can look after it well. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and do well in school subjects if you feel confident. Feeling worried about your body could make you do less well at school and even feel depressed (沮丧的).

It’s important to remember that everybody is different. Treat yourself as kindly as you can. And your best friend can also help you to develop body confidence by telling you that you are prettier than you look.

【1】How does the writer start the text?

A．By telling a story.

B．By asking a question.

C．By giving some examples.

D．By showing some facts.

【2】Which of the followings is included in body confidence?

①weight                 ②height                  ③age               ④physical disabilitics

A．①②③

B．①②④

C．②③④

D．①③④

【3】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To tell us good ways to keep healthy.

B．To share the secret to getting along with everyone.

C．To advise students to keep studying hard.

D．To encourage people to accept their looks and be confident.

27、

In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second-largest maker of smart phones behind Korea’s Samsung. It has also become the world’s largest supplier (供应商) of 5G.

But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U.S. government ordered a ban (禁令) on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information (that it collected) to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U.S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt.

“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems (系统) to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s founder and president said. “The ban from the U.S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.” Ren added.

In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only £4,000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic (浪漫的) as you imagine.”

Facing the ban of the U.S., Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smart phone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world’s largest telecommunications equipment (电信设备) supplier, selling in 170 countries! It may beat Samsung as the largest smart phone maker in the near future.

28、There was a rich man. One day, he 【1】 his friends to a party and they drank a lot of wine. At last there was only a pot (壶) of wine left. Who could get it? They thought of an idea and decided to have a match. The person who finished the drawing of a snake first could drink the wine, so they began drawing.

One of them drew quickly. After he finished, he saw others were still busy drawing. He said, “ 【2】 slow you are! I am the 【3】 to finish the drawing. I still have enough time 【4】 draw something else.” He added feet to the snake. However, before he could finish the feet, 【5】 man also finished drawing. He 【6】 away the pot and said, “【7】 has ever seen a snake with feet? Snakes have no feet, so yours is not a snake. I am the winner. I will get the wine.” With the words, he went away. The man looked at his drawing and r【8】 what he had done.

29、 I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.

I ordered breakfast and a cup of , sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. “I know him,” I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up the coffee cup. All of a sudden it came to me like a flash of lightning.

“Tony, the bully, the bad boy!” I could   believe my eyes. “Jesus! He’ s so thin now. Not the big boy that I   from back in 1977.”

Everything came up to my mind. The time this   boy had made fun of my big ears in front of the girls in my class, and the time this big bully had pushed me against the walls in the hallway just to make himself a big man to all other students.

“I am sorry, Roger,” Tony rolled by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin trembling hand. “I am so sorry for   that I did to you.”
