24、When I was in the sixth grade, I became a big K-pop (Korean pop) fan. Almost half the students at my middle school were Korean and almost all of them listened to Korean music, especially K-pop. I had never been interested in it. It sounded too strange to me, but all changed in the sixth grade when the huge hit Gee came out. All my friends were singing the chorus and imitating the dance. Gee fever sucked me into K-pop. It became my life. I listened to K-pop non-stop and filled my iPod with it. In a month, I had memorized the names of countless members of boy and girl bands and stuck pictures of my singer "boyfriends" on my walls. I would ditch my weekend art and math classes and go to concerts with my friends. This would always result in my mom shouting that I was wasting my life. My mom thought K-pop was trash and wanted me to like classical music as she did. But classical music made me sleepy.
Every day during middle school I went to a K-pop gossip and news site called allkpop.com. On this site I learned that I could audition(试音) to become a singer in a K-pop band. The shining clothes, thousands of screaming fans and hearing them chant my name seemed much more exciting than being a middle school student. Becoming a K-pop star was all I wanted.
I started watching the audition videos of current stars and reading blog posts from people who had auditioned. They explained much about the audition. This made me want to audition even more. After watching those videos, I saw that most of the current stars weren’t that amazing in their auditions and that each singer had improved so much through training. I had never had vocal lessons(声乐课) and didn’t think of myself as a good singer. “But if they could do it, I could do that too,” I thought.
【1】What caused the author to fall in love with K-pop?
A. Her Korean origin. B. A new style of dance.
C. Her friends’ influence. D. The popularity of Gee.
【2】The underlined word "ditch" in Paragraph 1 probably means "________".
A. forget B. attend C. ignore D. hate
【3】What do we know about the author’s mother?
A. She has no interest in music. B. She has a low opinion of K-pop.
C. She doesn’t care about her daughter. D. She prefers K-pop to classical music.
【4】After visiting allkpop.com, the author ________.
A. dreamed of becoming a pop singer B. called the manager of the news site
C. contacted people who had auditioned D. knew she would never become a singer
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.

26、We all waste food, you and me, every day, millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. And the amount (数量) of food wasted by Chinese consumers (消费者) is increasing fast. So our nation is being encouraged to stop wasting food.
So what should Chinese consumers do to prevent food waste?
♦ Keep a kitchen diary
All of us should keep a kitchen diary, and we can know that how much food we waste at home. The first thing for us to do is to stop throwing away food that we can still eat. We should eat everything we buy and if we cannot, we should buy less.
♦ Buy only what we need
We should ask for smaller portions (部分) in stores. We should also check how much food we have before buying more. We shouldn’t bring much food we don’t need home even if large posters ask us to do so.
♦ Develop the habit of packing food
Chinese consumers are generous (慷慨的) and friendly. In restaurants, often too much food is ordered and served. So when ordering out, we are supposed to exclude (排除) the food if we don’t plan to eat it. And order smaller servings in restaurants and take home what we cannot finish.
Don’t put it off! Let’s stop food waste today!
【1】Why is our nation being encouraged to stop wasting food?

27、In one way, it is the “greatest” drone ever. In another, though, it is the opposite of what a drone should be. Drone should be very lazy. They don’t have to work. Only their sister should be busy pollinating (传授花粉) and producing honey. However, for this drone, pollination is the very reason fur its existence (存在).
The drone, in fact is an invention of Ejiro Miyako. Miyako is a scientist from Japan. Many people, including Miyako have been worried about the future of food industry. Pollinating insects, especially bees, are falling in number. As a result, some plants can’t get pollinated and there will be fewer plants for us to eat. Scientists have been working hard to increase the number of bees. Unfortunately, they have had little success. Perhaps, Miyako thinks, it is time to build some robot bees instead.
Miyako’s bee, in fact, does not look much like a bee. It is based on a quad-copter. Miyako has put some brush hair on it. The hair is covered in special glue. They are able to pick up and hold grains of pollen(花粉) until they brush up against something else.
At the moment, Miyako’s robot bee still needs help from human operators. That’s because it can’t see where its target (目标) are. In the next step, Miyako will install visual recognition (视觉识别) software on his bee. After that, the robot bee will be able to see by itself.
