24、Paper was not made in southern Europe until the year of 1100. Though Scandinavia(斯堪的维尼亚半岛) now makes a great deal of the world’s paper, it had not begun to make it until 1500. It was a German named Schaeffer who found out that one could make paper from wood. After that, forest countries, such as Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland and the United States, became important in paper making. Today in Finland, for example, no industry（工业）is bigger than the forest industry. And the paper industry is the most important part of it.

Modern paper-making machines are very big, and they make paper very fast. The biggest machines can make a piece of paper 750 meters long and six meters wide in one minute.

When we think of paper, we think of newspapers, books, letters, envelopes（信封）, and writing paper. But there are many other uses. Each year, more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups, plates, and dishes for a long time. But now we hear that chairs, tables and even beds can be made of paper. The newest thing made of paper in the world may be a paper house. It is not a small house for children to play in, but a real, big house for people to live in. It is not expensive. You can put up a paper house yourself in a few hours, and you can use it for about 5 years.

25、One windy spring day. I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string(线) kept them in control.

Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining(控制的) string and the tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say. “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose(松散的). “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”

1 . It fell down to the ground and landed in plenty of weeds(杂草) and string against a dead bush, “Free at last”, free to lie powerlessly in the mud to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle(障碍物).

How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity(逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground. Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact that the strong force that helps us achieve.

【1】Why does the writer write the first paragraph?

A．Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites.

B．Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers.

C．Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites.

【2】By writing the second and third paragraphs, the writer seems to let the readers know ________.

A．anyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad end

B．what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the ground

C．man with freedom can’t be like that kite which fell down

D．the unkind wind is the cause of the fallen kite’s failure

【3】What does the underlined word “restriction” in the second paragraph probably mean?

A．control

B．freedom

C．shake

D．guide

【4】Which can be the best choice to be put in 1 in paragraph 3?

A．Slowly and happily it flew into the forest.

B．Yet freedom simply put it in the control of an unkind wind.

C．Without any control, the kite danced in the wind happily.

D．The owner ran to the kite but couldn’t catch it.

【5】In the writer’s opinion, ________.

26、   Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport vehicles( 车辆) and some other special outdoor working places has been banned(禁止) in China since January 2011. Let’s look at the following advantages of banning smoking.

First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health problems and diseases, but will also be good for passive(被动) smokers. When the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe(呼吸) in the smoke and suffer(受苦，患病) from the diseases an active smoker gets. If smoking is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled(控制).

Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up. Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesn’t smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking.

Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teens see people around  them smoking, they will follow them. Thus the number of teen smokers will increase. Also asthma(哮喘) and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers.

Smoking should be banned to increase work productivity(生产率). Employees(雇员) who smoke usually take breaks to smoke while working. So the number of hours they put in their work is smaller.

If you see from the environment point of view, smoking should be banned. Smoking causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from getting worse.

【1】The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us   .

A.banning smoking is good for restaurants

B.banning smoking is good for non-smokers

C.banning smoking is good for spread of diseases

D.banning smoking is good for active smokers and passive smokers

【2】According to the text, the underlined word “adolescents” means  .

A.men B.women C.adults D.teenagers

【3】Which of the following statements in NOT true?

A.If smoking is banned, work productivity will increase.

B.If smoking is banned, the number of teen smokers will be larger.

C.If smoking is banned, it will make the environment become better.

D.If smoking is banned, smokers will learn how to live without smoking.
