24、 Could cities that float on the sea solve the problems caused by floods and provide food for the world?
Some scientists think so. The idea is already being tested and they believe that floating cities will provide more homes for a growing population, without having to use land needed to grow food. And they believe floating areas will allow more food to be grown, so that no one in the world is hungry.
In some places, cities that float on the sea are already being planned. A company in the Netherlands called DeltaSync thinks that the sea cities will save the world, with more than one in ten people living in them.
They say sea cities solve many problems the world faces in the 21st century, like not having enough land, more and more people needing homes, fossil fuels running low and the increasingly serious problems caused by floods.
DeltaSync says building in the desert is not possible because there is not enough water and that developing ways for people to live in space is still too expensive. So they believe the answer is our oceans, which cover over two thirds of the Earth’s surface. Their plans for floating areas include using algae (海藻) to produce fuel and food.
More than a quarter of the land in the Netherlands already lies underwater and scientists there have spent years trying to find ways to deal with it. In the city of Rotterdam they already have floating homes.
Bart Roeffen from DeltaSync says, “We have plans for neighborhoods including roads and, in the end, I believe we can build floating cities on the sea.”
【1】Which of the following is the advantage of the cities that DeltaSync wants to build?
A.Providing more jobs for people. B.Satisfying more people’s housing needs.
C.Supplying enough water to people. D.Making travel in space possible.
【2】What can we learn about the Netherlands?
A.There are floating homes in one of its cities. B.It has found many fossil fuels recently.
C.Two thirds of its land is covered by water. D.Its population is increasing quickly.
【3】What does Bart Roeffen think of his company’s future plans?
A.He doubts them. B.He has no idea about them.
C.He is uncertain about them. D.He is hopeful of them.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Will there be enough water? B.Is it possible to live in the desert?
C.Will sea cities save the world? D.Is it expensive to build floating cities?
25、Last year in the UK at least 45 people died and 900 more were injured (受伤的) in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones.Yet many people continue to use them while driving even though it’s dangerous.
Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate on (专注于) driving and talking at the same time.It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much. A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones,their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much—and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally. It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.
And talking isn’t even the most serious problem, but texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22% of adults admitted (承认) they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month. An average (平均的) text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone’s screen and not at the road. The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before.
Using a mobile phone while driving puts others’ lives at risk. No matter how well we drive,if another driver is not careful,we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish,careless and should have their driving licences (驾照) cancelled (撤销).
There is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are useful,especially when you’re in trouble.But there is no need to use them while driving. Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own.
【1】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. phone users B. mobile phones
C. drivers D. ears
【2】According to the passage,if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need _______ seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phone.
A. 12 B. 13 C.14 D. 15
【3】According to the passage,in what order do the following activities influence driving?
Dangerous→More dangerous→Most dangerous
A. drinking→talking on phone→texting
B. texting→talking on phone→drinking
C. talking on phone→drinking→texting
. drinking→texting→talking on phone
【4】Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?
A. It will take longer to send text messages.
B. People will want to talk on their phones more often.
C. There will be more things for people to do with their phones.
D. People think the new phones are easier and safer to use.
【5】According to the writer, what should be done to people who use mobile phones when driving?
A. They should be put into prison (监狱).
B. Their cars should be taken away.
C. Their phones should be taken from them.
D. They should not be allowed to drive any longer.
26、 Do you remember where you were when you heard about a traffic accident of involving (牵涉) a close friend? The answer is probably yes. Do you remember what you were doing on your birthday that year? You may have to think a little harder.
People remember bad memories more easily and in greater detail (细节) than good ones. Why is that? A new study found that people do this because of evolutionary (进化的) reasons.
Elizabeth Ken Singer and her partners at Boston College, US, did a study looking at this. They found negative feelings like fear and sadness cause an increase in brain (大脑) activity. This activity happens in the part of the brain that controls memories. So memories caused by negative feelings are kept in greater detail than other kinds of memories.
For example, after seeing a man on a street holding a knife, people remember the knife clearly, but they forget the details of the street.
According to Ken Singer, it is easy to understand this from an evolutionary (进化论的) point of view. She said that people pay attention to dangerous information so they can use that information to guide their actions and save their lives. They can also use it to plan for similar events in the future.
The scientists say more studies are needed on how we remember bad memories. This line of research could help solve stress disorders (失调).
【1】According to the passage, good memories are remembered ______ than bad ones.
A.more in detail B.less often C.longer D.more easily

A.People pay more attention to dangerous information.
B.People can learn from bad memories.
C.People can plan for similar events in the future.
D.People have the ability to save themselves from danger.
【5】What would be a good title for the passage?
A.Brain activity controls memories.
B.How we remember bad memories.
C.Bad memories are easier to remember.
D.Bad memories can cause stress disorders.
27、 Everybody is afraid of something. That’s what more than 1,700 kids told us when we asked them about fears and scary(害怕的) things. We gave kids a list of 14 scary things and asked which one frightened them most. Here are the top 5 answers from our survey: ① Scary movies and TV shows; ② Scary dreams; ③ Thunderstorms, hurricanes (飓风), and other horrible weather; ④ War and terrorism (恐怖行动); ⑤ Sounds heard at night.
But not everyone is afraid of the same thing. And what makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else. Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn’t on our list.
What is fear? Fear is a feeling that everyone has — it’s programmed into all of us — and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us. We’re born with a sense of fear so we can react to something that could be dangerous. The baby cries, and their mom comes over to comfort him or her, helping the baby feel safe and OK again.
Real vs. Pretend
The best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it. As kids get older, they understand more and start seeing the difference between what is real and unreal. So when William’s imagination leads him to think of witches(女巫), he can tell himself, “Wait a minute. They’re only pretend things. I don’t need to worry about them.”
The same goes for the dark. A kid’s imagination can start playing tricks when the lights go out. What’s under my bed? Is that a thief I hear? With the help of a parent, kids can get more comfortable in the dark. Using a night light or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.
【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The list of fears is not complete.
B.The things people fear are of no big fear.
C.Kids have more fears than people think.
D.People are afraid of different things.
【2】In the writer’s opinion, ___________.
A.having a sense of fear is not a bad thing
B.babies have a weak sense of fear
C.fear is not something that we are born with
D.not all people can react to dangerous things
【3】What does the underlined word “pretend” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Ugly B.Usual C.Unreal D.Lovely
28、 I feel lucky that I live in the modern age. People are 【1】(富有的) and live longer than in the past. We know how to deal with the 【2】(普通的) diseases, so we have less 【3】(害怕) of getting ill. And we have more 【4】(空闲的) time to have good fun. The role of women has also 【5】(改变). They can get a good education and have good jobs like men.
But more 【6】(财富) sometimes means less health. Because transport and travel are 【7】(更容易的), people 【8】(很少) walk and they don’t exercise as much as they 【9】 to(过去常常). When there is a lot of traffic, the pollution is also 【10】(使加倍), or even worse. Luckily, our people and our government are taking steps to make the situation better.
