24、Have you ever wondered what P.E. classes are like in other countries? In China, P.E. tests are necessary for students to graduate (毕业) from both middle school and high school. To get good grades on the P.E. tests, Chinese students will need to practice running as well as doing sit-ups and pull-ups (引体向上). However, this is not the way that P.E. classes work in US high schools.

In my high school, we are asked to take two terms of P.E. to graduate. We play real sports during P.E. classes, such as basketball and volleyball. There are also some other typical American sports that we often play, such as football and baseball.

I didn’t know the rules of football and baseball when I first came to the US. The teacher let me sit on the sidelines and watch how other students played them in order to let me find out the rules.

We also learn some useful life skills in P.E. classes. Last year, I learned how to do CPR (心肺复苏), which is a life-saving skill. We were also taught how to give first aid to someone who is in danger. These skills are a large part of the final grade for the P.E. class in my high school. Self-defense (自卫) is taught in P.E. class as well. This includes some tae kwon do (跆拳道) and karate (空手道) skills, as well as Chinese kung fu. It is practical.

【1】Our Chinese students need to pass _____ test to graduate from secondary school.

A．running

B．basketball

C．volleyball

D．Chinese kung fu

【2】US high school students have to take _____ of P.E. in order to graduate.

B．two months

C．two terms

D．two years

【3】How did the writer learn the rules of some typical American sports?

A．His teacher taught him.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE about P.E. classes in US high schools?

A．Students can choose to learn life skills.

B．Students play real sports and practice running.

C．Students hardly learn Chinese kung fu and karate.

D．Students can learn CPR and other life-saving skills.

【5】In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read the passage?

A．Science Study.

25、Children can spend hours a day looking at computer screens and other digital devices. Some eye doctors say this leads to an increase in “computer vision syndrome (电脑视力综合症).”

Nathan Bonilla-Warford is an optometrist (验光师) in Tampa, Florida. He has seen an increase in problems in children. “A lot more children come into the office ▲ because their parents have noticed that they have headaches or red eyes, ▲ because their nearsightedness appears to be increasing and they’re worried,” he says.

Dr. Bonilla-Warford says part of the problem is that children may be more likely to pay no attention to early warning signs than adults. “Even if their eyes start to feel uncomfortable or they start to get a headache, they’re less likely to tell their parents, because they don’t want to have the game or the computer or whatever taken away,” he explains.

He says another part of the problem is that people blink (眨眼) less often when they use digital devices. He says, “A person who uses an electronic device blinks about one third as much as we normally do in everyday life. And so that can result in the front part of the eye drying and not staying protected like normal.”

Eye doctors offer suggestions like following which is known as the 20/20/20 rule. That means every twenty minutes look away twenty feet or more for at least twenty seconds from whatever device you’re using.

Other suggestions include putting more distance between you and the device and using good lighting. Of course, another way is to spend less time looking at screens. Many experts say children should spend no more than two hours a day using digital devices—with no screen time for children under two.

But not all eye doctors have noticed an increase in problems in children. Dr. David Hunter, from Children’s Hospital Boston, has not seen an increase in his practice. “While it is possible to develop fatigue looking at screens for a long period of time, there’s no certain connection between nearsightedness and using digital devices.” he says.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Dr. Bonilla-Warford thinks using computers causes nearsightedness.

B．People keep their eyes protected against drying by blinking often.

C．Children under two can watch TV for less than two hours a day.

D．Dr. David Hunter says headache causes an increase in eye problems.

【2】Which conjunctions is the most suitable to be put in the blank in Paragraph 2?

A．neither; nor

B．both; and

C．either; or

D．between; and

【3】What does the underlined word “fatigue” mean?

A．Tiredness.

B．Ability.

C．Interest.

D．Difficulty.

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Looking at Screen: Two Hours or More

B．How Can Children Use Their Eyes Properly

C．Using Digital Devices: Advantages and Disadvantages

D．How Much Screen Time Is Too Much for Children

26、

In the animal world, the mother is usually the parent that does the most for the child. She gives birth to it and often raises it on her own. However, there are several aquatic animals that are turning this idea upside down.

One of the most interesting examples of an excellent ocean dad is the sea horse. The female lays her eggs in a pouch on the front of a male sea horse. When the eggs finally hatch (孵化), the dad gives birth by pushing the tiny new sea horses from the pouch.

Another father with a pouch is the Darwin’s frog. The female lays eggs and the male guards them for about two weeks. When the tadpoles (蝌蚪) come out of their eggs, the father puts them in the big pouch of skin under his chin, where they stay until they are ready to jump out into the dangerous world.

The clown fish was made famous by the Disney film Finding Nemo. After the female clown fish lays eggs, the male protects them until they hatch. That’s not all. If the mother fish dies, the dad can turn into a female and be the new mom of the family.

Another great ocean dad is the emperor penguin. These dads keep the eggs on top of their feet under a thick fold of warm skin. During the next two months of the Antarctic winter, these fantastic fathers go without food as they keep their eggs warm.

While each of these fathers is very different, they all take responsibility for their children. These dads of the water make sure their kids have a safe place to grow so they will have a good life in the future.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．How the male sea horse takes care of the eggs.

B．How the female sea horse hatches the eggs.

C．How the male sea horse lays eggs in a pouch.

D．How the female sea horse grows the eggs herself.

A．Sea horse

B．Darwin’s frog

C．Clown fish

D．Emperor penguin

D．The fathers all protect their children in the same way.

27、There is a song we all can sing —March of the Volunteers (《义勇军进行曲》). It’s our national anthem (国歌). Now, there is a law to protect the song.

On Sept 1, the government passed the National Anthem Law. It states how we should sing or play the song, requiring (要求) all Chinese to respect it. The law will take effect from Oct 1.
