24、There are many colors in nature．But do you think that a color has weight? I think you'll say “no”. But I'm afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe it, you may do a small experiment (实验)．

First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes．Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap(色裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with a white piece of paper. OK．Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one．It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier．

Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weights in man's mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind．

The scientist told us that colors also have smell．Can you smell the color? Of course not．Then why did the scientist say so. That is because every color stands for (代表) a kind of light with a certain wavelength (波长)．It reaches our brain through sense organs.

According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate．So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like．Or you'll be nervous or even get ill． For example,  you like blue and hate red．If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours．But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise．

That means our body temperature will change with different colors．

【1】From the experiment, we know that_________．

A．the two boxes have the same weight

B．colors can change the weight of an object

C．the red paper is heavier than the white paper

D．colors have different weights in people's mind

【2】From the fourth paragraph, we can infer ____．

A．the smell of colors is changeable（可变的）

B．people can sense the light from colors

C．people can smell the colors through the nose

D．all the colors have the same smell for the blind

【3】Which of the following is true?   ____．

A．White color is heavier than red color

B．People may get ill if they refuse the colors they don't like

C．People can stay longer in red rooms than in blue rooms

D．People's body temperature will change with different colors

【4】We can infer from the last paragraph that____．

A．red color is bad for our health

B．people may get nervous in a red room

C．blue color can raise（提升）our body temperature

D．colors can influence our mood（情绪）and health

【5】The passage is probably ____．

A．a short novel   B．a news report

C．a science report D．an advertisement

25、You can't remember who sings a certain song from the 90s. You Google it. You're arguing with a friend about who played Mickey in The Goonies. You solve the problem by Googling it. You don't know the way to that new restaurant. You Google Maps it.

We hold the answers to about all of life's questions in our hands today. But that means our brains are feeling free to take some rest. According to the Daily Mail, our growing reliance on(依赖) the Internet for fact checking is making our memories worse.

Scientists at Harvard University found people now regard Google and other search engines as an outside part of their own brains, rather than a tool. Writing in the Journal Scientific American, Harvard psychologists Daniel Wegner and Adrian Ward warn that people who believe their memorable facts that are saved online are much worse at remembering them.

"The Internet is also unlike a human memory partner; it knows more and can produce the information more quickly, You can find almost all information today easily through a quick Internet search. It may be that the Internet is taking the place of people's memory."

In a series of tests, researchers found it was easy for people to remember information well if they believed it would be deleted.

Those who thought it was stored on a computer were more forgetful, even if they were asked to keep the information in mind.

【1】When people want to check a fact, probably they will .

A. look up in a book

B. ask friends

C. use the Internet

D. go to teachers for help

【2】According to the passage, if we depend on the Internet for fact checking, .

A. our brains will become smaller

B. our brains will become bigger

C. our memories will become worse

D. our memories will become better

【3】People are easy to remember things well if they know .

A. they will lose the information

B. they will lose the computer

C. the information is good for them

D. the information is important

【4】The writer wants to tell us .

A. not to use Google

B. Google is bad for our memory

C. Google is a good tool for checking facts

D. not to depend on the Internet for checking facts too much

26、   Several train passengers have made people angry across the county. On Aug. 21.a video posted online showed a man sitting in the wrong set on a train from Jinan to Beijing and he refused to take his own seat because he wanted to sit by the window. When a train conductor(乘务员) asked him to move, he said he could not stand and needed a wheelchair. The China Railway Jinan Group later prevented  the man from train travel for 180 days and  he was also fined (罚款)200 Yuan.

A similar case also happened on Sept 23. A foreign woman took another person’s seat on a train and refused to leave. When passengers began shooting video of her with their phones, she shouted and threw water at them. The woman was then taken away. Later, she realized that she was wrong and said sorry to the passengers she had attacked(攻击)

These cases are like a mirror that shows our society's attitude.  They show that we need to behave in a more proper way. If people don’t follow laws and rules in public, they should be punished.

【1】A video posted online showed a man's bad behavior on the plane.

【2】The man didn't move back to his own seat because he couldn’t stand and needed a wheel chair.

【3】The man will not be allowed to take the train for about 6 minutes.

【4】The foreign woman who took a wrong seat behaved badly from the beginning to the end.

【5】The writer suggests that we should pay more attention to our behavior in public.

27、Doing a research before you sort your rubbish can make all the difference. Recycling rules in one city is different from another. But wherever you live, here are a few ways to help you do it better.

* Don’t put your recyclables in a plastic bag

Plastic bags just cause a lot of trouble in the recycling process. They jam(使卡住)recycling machines. They blow off of landfills(垃圾填埋场)and arrive in oceans at last.

If you have a lot of plastic bags, you can turn to programs that focus on them. Otherwise, you may just put them in the dry garbage bin.

* You can recycle plastic bottle caps

Traditionally, plastic bottles with caps on caused problems. Bottles are made from #1 plastic. Their caps are made from #5 plastic. They melt(熔化) at different temperatures and need to be separated(分开).

But times have changed. Recycling machines have improved. In sorting factories, caps and bottles are separated. However, bottles with caps on usually take up more space—they are filled with air. So you may squeeze(挤压)the air out of your bottles before you recycle them.

* You can’t recycle a pizza box

The cardboard(硬纸盒)is recycled, but pizza boxes are not. Why? Because of the oil on the boxes. It makes the paper non-recycled. It isn’t special to pizza boxes. Many food boxes are the same as those of the pizza boxes. Paper napkins, plates and towels are all non-recyclable for this reason.

【1】How many ways does the writer tell us to help sort rubbish?

A．One

B．Two

C．Three

D．Four

【2】By writing this article, the writer mainly wanted to________.

A．tell people what cannot be recycled

B．list some common mistakes in garbage sorting

C．encourage people to start sorting their garbage

D．help people do a better job in sorting their garbage

【3】Why do plastic bottles and their caps need to be separated?

A．Because plastic bottles cannot be recycled.

B．Because the caps of plastic bottles cannot be recycled.

C．Because the caps of plastic bottles often jam recycling machines.

D．Because plastic bottles and their caps melt at different temperatures.

【4】The writer suggests we squeeze the air out of our plastic bottles before we recycle them so that________.

A．the bottle will take up less space

B．the bottle will melt at a lower temperature

C．the caps and bottles can be separated more easily

D．the bottle will do less harm to recycling machines

【5】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Pizza boxes can be recycled.

B．Paper napkins and towels are both non-recyclable.

C．The writer suggests we put plastic bags all in the dry garbage bin.

D．In sorting factories, caps and bottles aren’t separated.

Find a good place to study. Try your best 【4】 (find) a good study place. Keep this place, which may be a desk or just a corner of your room. No games, radio, or television! Once you sit down to work, think only about the subject!

Make good use of your time in class. Listen carefully to what the teacher says. 【5】 (careful) you are in class, the less work you will have later. 【6】 (take) notes in class is also necessary because this way you will find 【7】 easier to learn well.
