25、阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案

Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. But it seems that besides wearing a mask, few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, a former news interviewer with CCTV, discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome.

The 103-minute film was on websites on Feb 28. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She thinks that burning too much coal and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog.

To solve the problem, Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace them with cleaner energy such as natural gas. In her film, Chai also emphasized (强调) that everyone can do something to help control smog too. For example, we can live a greener life by using more public transport. Or if we see things that could harm the environment, we can try to stop it. In the film, when she sees a restaurant cooking without any suitable filter facilities (过滤设备), she calls the hotline 12369. The restaurant installed the filter a week later.

Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. “This film encourages ordinary people to take notice of the environment. This is what we need in the future.”

【1】What is the main cause of smog according to Chai?

A. Setting off too many fireworks.

B. Burning too much coal and oil.

C. Too many cars in big cities.

D. Too many factories and companies.

【2】Which of the following is NOT included in Chai’s suggestions towards reducing smog?

A. Using cleaner energy.

B. Cleaning coal and oil.

C. Using public transport.

D. Replacing coal with wind energy.

【3】What can we tell from the story?

A. Only factories produce heavy smog.

B. Only the government can control smog.

C. Smog can’t be controlled by ordinary people.

D. Living a green life can help reduce smog.

【4】What’s Chen Jining’s attitude towards Chai’s film?

A. He didn’t watch it. B. He thought highly of it.

C. He disagreed with it.   D. He disliked  it.

26、   Are there too many kids obsessed (着迷的) with texting?

Texting Nonstop!

Yes, I do think kids are too obsessed with texting. Many kids I know can be in the same room or even sitting next to each other, but they text each other rather than actually talk with friends, it's hard to get their attention when they are texting. People seem to like to text more than talk.

—Riley

Responsible Texting

No, I don't think too many kids are obsessed with texting. Sometimes kids might just need some time alone on the phone. They probably just need to talk to their friends! I believe most kids are responsible and know when to stop texting.

—Ella

Guilty (羞愧的) About Texting Too Much

Kids are really obsessed with texting. When I text my friends, almost all of them answer in less than a minute. Some of my friends even get their phones taken away for being on them too much. I see my friends most of my day at soccer time or at school, and even I am guilty of texting them several hours a day when I am home. Sometimes it's better to spend time outdoors and with your family rather than with your phone.

—Tom

Get physical Training—Get off the phone!

A lot of my friends, as soon as they got a smartphone, texted or got online constantly. Spending that much time on a screen is not healthy for you or your brain. Personally, I'd rather spend time outside doing sports with my friends than on the phone. You can tell your friends things at school or whenever you see them next time—you don't have to spend all your time texting.

—Shann

27、Many people thought that U.S. President Calvin Coolidge always lived in the White House. However, he sometimes lived in the nearby Willard Hotel.

Once, in the middle of a night, the President woke up to see a thief searching his clothes. Coolidge calmly spoke up from the darkness, ＂I wish you wouldn’t take that watch.＂

＂Why?＂ asked the shocked man.

Coolidge answered, ＂Take it near the window and read what is engraved（雕刻） on the back of it.＂

The man read, ＂Presented to Calvin Coolidge, Speaker of the House, by the Massachusetts General Court.＂ He was very surprised!

＂Are you President Coolidge?＂ he asked. He had never thought he would find the president sleeping in a hotel!

＂Yes, I am.＂ Coolidge said. Then he asked, ＂Why are you doing this, Son?＂

The young man explained that he and two friends traveled to Washington during their college vacation. They spent all of their money and had no money to pay the hotel bill and the train tickets back to school.

Coolidge added up the cost. It came to $32. That may not sound like much now, but it was a big number then. ＂I’ll give you the $32 as a loan(借款）,＂ the President said, ＂And I expect you to pay me back.＂

The young man thanked him. Coolidge left him with this warning: ＂Son, you are a nice boy, you are better than you are acting. You are starting down the wrong road. Just remember who you are.＂

It wasn’t until after the death of Mr. Coolidge that this story was allowed to come out. It was first published in the newspaper Los Angeles Times. And the most interesting of all is that the President’s notes show that the young man was indeed better than he was acting. He repaid the $32 loan in full.

C．The young man never kept in touch with the president again

D．The young man learned a lesson from his experience with the president

【4】How did people first get to know the story of the president with the young man?
