24、Many of us don’t pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in the first place.

There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not eating enough food, genes（基因）and aging（老化）.

Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of a computer, you’d better take a break every once in a while.

Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.

Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because they protect your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly（定期地）and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.

All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.

【1】All the following causes can lead to poor eyesight EXCEPT ________.

A．computers

B．aging

C．reading

D．height

25、Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places，the Forbidden City in Beijing，China．It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties in China，the Ming and Qing Dynasties．

The Forbidden City was built in 1420．The palace has over 10，000 rooms．It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers．

In Mandarin(普通话), the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However，the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China．It was so sacred（神圣的） that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in．

The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City．During Chinese New Year，the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes．It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations（代）．

Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world．Everyone can go in there．It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques（古董）and treasures in it．

I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City．It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see．

【1】How long is the history of the Forbidden City？

A. More than600 years．   B. 1420 years．

26、

In a country where 1. 3 billion people speak 22 officially-recognized languages and hundreds of dialects (方言), communication online can be a problem.

Although there is a rapid rise in the number of Indian internet users who don’t speak English as the first language, 60% won’t shop online because of language problems.

Niki, a voice-enabled e-business app, is trying to solve this. It helps people to use voice commands (指令) to do shopping online. Users speak to the app in their preferred language, ordering products. Niki then presents buying choices from its product providers.

The company’s goal market is people who don’t live in cities and do not speak English In the northern Indian state of Rajasthan, the app has been used for more than 10 million online transactions (交易) since 2018. Now Niki can offer people service in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil and English. The company is planning to introduce seven more languages, and hopes to carry out its business in 10 more states.

Thanks to a machine learning algorithm (算法), Niki is able to understand languages better and better. When the app first appeared, the algorithm only had a 65% accuracy (准确) rate. Now, it can deal with voice commands with 95% accuracy because of a bank of over 250 million conversations, Jaiswal says.

The app differs from typical online marketplaces. It limits the number of buying choices. Rather than offering many similar products as the supermarkets do, Niki presents a few quality - controlled objects from providers. That is more like a la sore.

When users speak to Niki in their native language, the app speaks back in the way of neighborhood shopkeeper. This “culture of service” is popular with many Indian people.

【1】Many Indian internet users don’t shop online because ________.

A．they aren’t able to use the Internet

B．they have trouble using apps

C．they like to shop in the local store

D．they have difficulty in communicating

【2】Which picture properly shows the relationship between accuracy and conversations?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【3】Which of the following is TRUE if people shop on Niki?

A．There are more products for them to choose.

B．It’s just like shopping in a supermarket.

C．They may like the way Niki talks with them.

D．It’s difficult for them to buy good products.

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．New apps develop quickly in India.

B．The voice app helps Indians shop online.

C．It’s hard to change Indians' shopping fashion.

D．Indians become interested in online shopping.

【5】In which section of a newspaper can you probably read the text?

A．Sports and health.

B．History and culture.

C．Population and environment.

D．Science and technology.

27、   An old man went to live with his son, his daughter-in-law, and a four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled (颤抖), his eyesight was very poor, and he couldn’t walk steadily(平稳地). The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Rice often dropped on the floor.   

The son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man, so they put a small table in the corner. There, the grandfather ate alone, while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the table. Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was put in a wooden bowl.

The four-year-old son watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” The boy answered, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work. The words struck the parents so that they were in silence. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening, the man took his father's hand and gently led him back to the family table.

【1】Why was the old man’s food put in a wooden bowl?

A．Because the wooden bowl was light enough.

B．Because the old man had broken a few bowls.

C．Because there was only a wooden bowl left.

D．Because the son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man.

【2】The underlined word “struck” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________ in Chinese.

A．使……生气

B．使……担心

C．使……害怕

D．使……震惊

【3】Why did the man lead the old man back to the family table?

A．Because he realized his mistakes.

B．Because the old man didn’t drop rice on the floor any more.

C．Because the old man’s food was put in a wooden bowl.

D．Because a gentleman led him back to the family table.
