It costs them 36,000 francs.68.So they have to work day and night to pay back the money they have borrowed. After ten years of hard work to pay back all the money, Mathilde looks so old that Jeanne even can’t recognize her when they meet. When Jeanne hears the story, she tells Mathilde the necklace isn’t a real diamond necklace. It is worth 500 francs at most.

I had my first contact with English when I was six. My dad loved listening to the Beatles（披头士）and he encouraged me to listen to the band. I listened to them every day for the following seven years.

I learned many songs by heart. It became my dream to learn English well so that I could understand the Beatles. Today, I can understand the Beatles very clearly. Each time I hear a Beatles song, I am happy and proud.

When I was 13 years old, I started reading science books. I could only read in Indian. But more books were all English. I could not read them because I did not know English so well. I felt that the books in English would be even more interesting and more exciting.

25、阅读下面四篇材料，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

I don’t have too many memories of my father because he was so sick in the last years of his life. But there are some that I am often reminded of and which may have developed my love of science.

When I was small， I was somewhat afraid of lightning and thunder（雷）. My father explained it. The explanation was in words that a child could understand but was basically correct. I gained a better understanding and learnt something from him.

What he said was that there was electricity in the clouds and it traveled to the ground like a spark(火花). When it traveled through the air， it made the air so hot that it burned. Then there was nothing where the air had been and the air all around rushed in to fill the space. Saying this， he clapped his hands together very loudly， pretending to be the air rushing in， and said that makes the thunder. When I hear thunder， I can still hear that clap clearly.

He also explained why a cloudy winter night was warmer than a clear one. When there were clouds， they were like blankets(毛毯) which kept the earth and us warm. He said that if there were no clouds， we had no blankets and were exposed to the universe. Our warmth was going to heat the whole universe. Even today， I still feel on the edge of space on a very clear night.

I am sure there were many other lessons that I took but no longer remember most of them now. What I did learn， in general， was that there were explanations and that the more I understood them， the more comfortable the world was to live in. I was not taught that there were mysteries but that there was understanding if you looked for it. This may be why I have always taken an interest in science.

26、   It might be fun to use your smartphone, but be careful. Too much screen time may be harmful to your health.

First, it is bad for your eyes. A researcher called Sarah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light that the screen gives out. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause eye strain（劳损）, headaches and dry eyes. So it is a good idea to take a break every 15 minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone.

Second, screen use can do harm to children’s brains. A new study shows that using screens too much can affect（影响） how children’s brains grow. If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills. So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens.

Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep. According to a study, about 95% of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics before bed, especially the young people under 20. Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep. So you’d better turn off smartphones, TVs, and all other screens an hour before your bedtime.

To keep healthy, doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn’t use screens for long hours.

【1】The blue light from your screens can cause problems except ________.

A.eyestrain B.headaches C.dry eyes D.all of the above

【2】According to the passage, you can’t sleep well because you ________.

A.take a break every 15 minutes B.have lower levels of white matter

C.use screens too much before bed D.are the people from 13 to 64

【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Using smartphones for long hours does harm to your eyes.

B.A lot of screen time affects children’s brain growth.

C.The light from electronics at night may make you excited.

D.People of all ages mustn’t use electronics.

【4】You may read the passage in ________.

A.a science magazine B.a travel diary C.a guide book D.a novel

【5】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.The ways to keep healthy. B.The harm of using screens too much.

C.The ways to use screens. D.The advantages of using screens.

27、   The founder of Huawei seldom spoke to the media, while he let his company's fast growth do the talking. That's changing as Huawei finds itself in a dangerous situation in the US. Ren, 74, tells CNN in an interview that the challenges Huawei faces are just so common for him. "There are always difficulties for me. I never had smooth sailing because when I was young, my family background wasn't good. I had to work really hard to get even just a little bit of opportunity to work."

In 1974, Ren joined the PLA (中国人民解放军) as an engineer. During that period, the country was suffering from terrible food and clothing shortages (短缺). "I had been to college, and people like me could play a role." he said. After the PLA, Ren worked for an oil company before founding Huawei in 1987. It was set up in Shenzhen, which was just a fishing village then.

To get market share, Ren suffered serious depression (抑郁) during the darkest days of the company. Ren pushed staff to work long hours and do whatever it took to save business. Unable to compete in the big cities, Huawei worked on China's small towns and villages. All the time, Ren devoted a lot to research and development, pushing Huawei to create its own technology that would make it compete with its competitors.

Ren worked long hours leaving him little time to build strong relationships with his three children. He has said that while in the PLA, he spent just one month a year with his family. After starting Huawei, "I had to spend 16 hours a day in the office," he said. He once asked his kids whether they’d like him to spend more time with the family or work to "build a platform (平台)" on which they could grow. His children chose the latter (后者).

【1】What is the meaning of the underlined word "smooth sailing"?

A.c-d-e-b-a B.d-c-e-a-b C.b-c-d-a-e

【3】In Ren's opinion, what can make Huawei compete with its competitors most?

A.Having its own technology B.Being more hardworking C.Finding proper places
