24、   Have you ever gone to a fast-food restaurant to eat and gotten a kid's meal that came with a toy? Sometimes those meals have different toys for boys and girls —maybe a truck for the boys and a toy bear for the girls. Who decides that boys like to play with trucks and girls like to play with stuffed animals? I know many boys who like stuffed animals and lots of girls who play with trucks. When we decide what someone will like or how they will act just because they are boys or girls, we are stereotyping（形成模式化观念）.

A stereotype is a group that we put people into. Our human brains do this all the time; it's one of the ways that our brain has learned to deal with the world. We see someone and put that person into a group—for example, the old or the young, a boy or a girl. Is that a bad thing? No, it's not.

One advantage of a stereotype is that it enables us to deal with situations rapidly because we may have had a similar experience before. The use of stereotypes is a major way in which we simplify our social world; since they cut down the amount of processing（i.e. thinking）we have to do when we meet a new person.

Although grouping itself isn't bad, it can be harmful sometimes. It makes us ignore differences between each single person, that is, we usually think all the people in one group are the same but that might not be true.

When we stereotype, we think of a group and give everyone in that group certain characteristics. For example, the fast food restaurant believed that all boys like to play with vehicles and all girls prefer toy animals. They did that based only on whether they were boys or girls.

Stereotypes are problems when beliefs that people have about groups are not necessarily true. Have you ever heard anyone say that "Men are better drivers than women"? Statements like this take a group of people and give all of them the same behaviors or characteristics. I know men who are good drivers, and I know women who are good drivers. It's not fair to judge all people in a group by a stereotype. We need to remember that everyone in the group is an individual who has different abilities, interests, strengths and behaviors.

【1】The example of different toys for boys and girls is mentioned to show that_________.

A.boys and girls prefer different toys

B.boys and girls are treated unfairly

C.people sometimes mix children's likes

D.people have fixed ideas on things

【2】Which of the following stereotypes is useful?

A.Making friends by his appearance.

B.Boys do better in science than girls.

C.Youth easily do unreasonable things.

D.Red signs on the road warn us of danger.

【3】The underlined word “ignore” in Paragraph 4 probably means _________.

A.fail to notice B.fail to trust C.fail to search D.fail to face

【4】What does the writer want to tell us about stereotyping?

A.Stereotyping is like a coin which has two sides.

B.It helps our brain learn to deal with similar situations.

C.Judging people by stereotyping them makes things hard.

D.Trying to learn about and form some kinds of them stereotypes.

25、

When your pen is broken, the battery（电池）in your toy runs out, or you have some leftover food, what will you do with these things? You will probably throw them all into one bin. But actually, all of these pieces of trash need to be sorted（分类）separately.

Garbage sorting is a big issue worldwide. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it.

Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a “green account（账户）” service for its residents. Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products. The city is asking all of its residents to sort their garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.

Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want but pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily explained Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.

Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs（荧光灯泡）.

Finally, any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in to the “dry waste” bin.

Many other Chinese cities are also using this method to sort their garbage. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its garbage into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also receive waste-sorting guidebooks that they must study.

China is improving its waste-sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your trash properly and protect the environment.

If you don’t sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill（垃圾填埋场）and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater（地下水）. Other pieces of garbage, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.

【1】What does the underlined word “residents” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?

A．清洁工

B．居民

C．农民

D．渔民

【2】How is Shanghai encouraging people to sort their garbage?

A．By creating a green account service with the help of Alipay.

B．By paying people to sort their trash correctly.

C．By allowing people to exchange garbage with each other.

D．By providing its residents with guidebooks to help them.

【3】Which of the following would be classified as wet waste?

A．Batteries.

B．Glasses.

C．Leftover food.

D．Medicine.

【4】What do we know about garbage sorting in China?

A．It started its garbage sorting system in 2012.

B．Students have to take waste-sorting classes in school.

C．There is still a lot of work to be done in this area.

D．Landfills are a common method of getting rid of garbage.

【5】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．Where we can bury our waste.

B．Why we should sort our garbage properly.

C．What kinds of waste can pollute the environment.

D．How some kinds of waste can be reused and recycled.

26、

27、

This weekend a marathon ( 马拉松 ) took place in Salzburg. I admired the runners who ran 42.2 kilometers for over four hours. But I've never run for more than half an hour.

At university I play korfball. This is a team sport with eight people on each team. The aim is to shoot ( 投篮 ) the ball into the hoop. All players get a chance to attack ( 攻 ) and defend ( 守 ) during the game and it's very fast. When I started korfball, I wasn't very good at it. I could throw and catch but I wasn't very fast on my feet. Shooting was also difficult for me. However, I really enjoyed the sport and made friends in the club, so I went training twice a week. Two years later I am in the first team for my university and have played in many matches. This just shows if you train hard, you can succeed.

Running is difficult because you have to make yourself willing to keep going. I used to get really out of breath while running and I didn't feel good at all! Now I actually enjoy going for a run along the river in Salzburg, feeling my muscles ( 肌肉 ) working and breathing in the fresh air.

Challenging exercise is always worth doing. Hiking is fun because all the hard work—walking uphill comes at the beginning of the day, then at the top of the mountain you can enjoy the view. At the end of the day you feel like you've really achieved something.

I will never be a marathon runner, but I would like to try a 10-km run sometime, or perhaps even a half-marathon. How happy the runners were as they crossed the finishing line! I'd like to have that feeling—the months of training paying off as you achieve your goal.

【1】What did the writer think of running the marathon at first?

A. Difficult. B. Strange. C. Enjoyable. D. Exciting.

【2】When the writer started korfball, he couldn't   .

A. catch and throw a ball B. catch and shoot a ball

C. move quickly while playing D. catch the ball from teammates

【3】Why does the writer think challenging exercise is worth doing?

A. It helps him make lots of friends. B. It gives him a sense of achievement.

C. It makes him become a marathon runner. D. It helps him get to the top of the mountain.

28、My family moved into our house nine years ago and we called the area in front of our house “rock garden” as it was full of rocks.

Last summer, I found a tiny little p【1】 in the yard but I didn’t know its name. I knew I didn’t plant it. We decided to let it c【2】 growing until we could find out what it was.

Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mysterious plant, it s【3】 to be a sunflower. I decided to treat it with care and remove the weeds (杂草) a【4】 it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something u【5】. The sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk (茎) began. It had b【6】 under a big rock.

That’s when I realize that i【7】 a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we also have the ability of doing the same thing. We need to believe in o【8】 knowing we have the abilities in a【9】 our aims. Like the sunflower, it was sure of the success.

Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the e【10】 will begin to support you. You will find a way to reach your goals.

29、   Imagine a 900-meter-high rock wall standing in front of you. Your start to climb it. You put your hands and feet in small holes in the rock. You bear pain and fear until reach the top. What's worse, you don't even have a _______ to keep you safe. If you slip (滑) and fall, you will die. Who would do such a dangerous thing, playing with one's own life? This is, in fact, the true story of 33-year-old climber Alex Honnold.

Honnold made history in 2017 when he climbed one of the world's most famous cliffs (悬崖) —EI Capitan in California, US. Honnold climbed it _______ any safety equipment (装备). His experience was made into a _______ called Free Solo. The film won Best Documentary at the 91st Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, last month.

The film not only showed Honnold's _______ climbing skills, but also explained why he chose to climb the cliff and how he _______ his fear. These are two important questions for anyone who chooses to try extreme (极限) sports.

According to Honnold, for some people, "the purpose of life is happiness", but for him, "it's all about performance". He said that _______ was the time when he felt most alive. But he didn't play with his life. He climbed only when he felt _______ . He exercised his muscles (肌肉) every day. He practised climbing rock walls while using ropes as _______ as he could. He wrote down every move he made _______ practicing.
