24、Every year thousands of people get hurt or lose their lives when they are crossing the road. Most of them are old people and children. Old people often get hurt because they can’t see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.

How can we reduce (减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians, it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. You must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, and then look left again. When you make sure that it is safe, you can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. We should try to help children, old people, and blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street.

25、

For years, the word “popular'，has been demonized（妖魔化）and made thesame as mini-skirt-wearing, hair-coloring cheerleader types like Regina Georgein Mean Girls. Today, teachers and parents inform children that being popularis irrelevant（不相干的），unnecessary and a sure shortcut to upset, misery, anddeath. And some people describe popular students as the ones most likely tobum out and end up as nobody, while their less well-liked counterparts enjoy alife of wealth and fame.

However, the Oxford English Dictionary defines（定义）popularity as:“TheState or condition of being liked, admired, or supported by many people’ Thissounds like a lovely thing, and is not related to such behaviors as “burn books” or “three-way phonecalls" in Mean Girls．

In fact, it is a truth widely acknowledged that young people who feel liked or supported are morelikely to obtain impressive achievements than those who feel lonely, unvalued, and irrelevant socially.So why, then, is popularity given such a bad name? Why is this state of well-likedness so demonized?

Basically, the hatred (恨) shown toward what appears to be a very pleasant thing is caused by lackof understanding. When we, as viewers, see characters such as Regina Georges on TV and in films, werecognize them to be popular. These characters, if not exactly liked,，greatly admired by their peers（同伴）．Our mistake comes when we try to understand their cruel and unkind actions using the deduction（推论）method.Humans are imperfect, and even the most intelligent mind is open to dishonesty through a very smallslip in logic. Unfortunately, this occurs here with branding results

We first learn that a character is popular. Since this is important to the plot, it is constantlyemphasized, leading it to be the most common thing in our minds when we consider the character.Later, we see that character do something unkind. The character's most noticeable characteristic (inour minds) is his/her popularity. And now the character is mean and unkind. This character is popular.Therefore, we jump to a quick conclusion (结论) that popular people are mean and unkind.

Things such as improper behaviors and rumor-spreading are terrible and should always be seenin a very serious light. However, it is important to recognize that these are not the behaviors of popularpeople, but bullies.

So, in summary, do not be afraid to be popular and have many friends. If you are kind to everyoneand treat others with respect, there will be few who can criticize you, for being widely liked is not acurse but a blessing. Just remember that being popular does give you a degree of power, and with greatpower comes a large electricity bill!

【1】The writer mentions the definition of popularity in paragraph 2 to＿＿．

A. bring up his opinion B. give an example

C. come to a conclusion D. offer his suggestion

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Being popular might offer a shortcut to a life of wealth.

B. Students who feel supported have a better chance to achieve more.

C. Popular students are usually famous but mean and unkind.

D. The less well-liked people consider being popular as something bad.

【3】Paragraph 4 and 5 are. mainly about＿＿

A. the importance of being admired by peers

B. the ways to clear up some misunderstanding

C. the advantages and disadvantages of being popular

D. the reasons why people show hatred to being popular

【4】The writer probably agrees that＿＿·

A. cheerleader types will surely end up as nobody

B. being popular is unnecessary for most students

C. treating others with kindness is beneficial to popular people

27、   Imagine if your journey to work was from your bedroom to your living room. More and more people in the UK are doing their jobs at home.

Baz works as an engineer in a West London factory. He’s been an engineer since he left school - but he’s not very optimistic about his future. Heavy industry in the UK has almost disappeared.

His sister, Liz, lives in the north of England. She’s an Information Technology (IT) trainer at a college. Once every four weeks, she meets her trainees in person, but most of her training is done through IT.

When she’s finished her designs, she sends them electronically to her director. He works from home too - occasionally they meet up for a coffee.

28、阅读短文，根据语篇要求填空，使短文通顺，意思完整。每空限填一词。

An old man went to India. When he got there, he saw some fruit for sale, but most of it was very cheap. 【1】 cheapest thing was a basket of red fruit.

“How much per kilo? the old man asked.

“Two rupees(卢比),” the shopkeeper answered. Two rupees in India is almost nothing, so the old man bought a whole kilogram and started eating it.

However, as soon as he started eating, his mouth began to burn, his eyes began to water, and his whole face became as red 【2】 the fruit. As he coughed and struggled to breathe, he jumped up and down, screaming: “Ah! Ah! Ah!”

And yet he continued to eat the fruit. Some people 【3】 were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You are crazy! Those are chili peppers (辣椒)! You can’t just eat them by the handful!”

The old man said to 【4】, “I paid for them, so I must eat them.”

This old man seemed pretty stupid. But are we so much smarter? All of us have spent money and time on something--maybe a relationship, or a business, or a job- -and sometimes, even if we know there’s no hope that things will change, we still continue with it.
