24、   Six years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At the year of 2018’s Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.

On Feb 22th,2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-metre race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.

“I didn’t give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the media after the match.

But China’s short-track teams didn’t do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 metres,3000-metre relay and men’s 1500 metres all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China’s biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.

Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their comments made him quite upset. But as the saying goes, “Winners never quit and quitters never win”. Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself,” he told the media after his match at the Olympics.

【1】At the Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu Dajing won the gold medal in the men’s short-track ________ race.

A.500-meter B.1000-meter C.1500-meter D.3 000-meter

【2】What does the underlined word “flawless” mean?

A.ordinary B.valuable C.perfect D.difficult

A.Wu won a gold medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games six years ago.

B.Wu broke the world record with a time of 39.584 seconds and made history.

C.Wu’s coaches placed great hope on him when he joined the national team.

D.Chinese skaters in women’s 500 metres,3000-metre relay took home the gold.

【4】What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A.The national team and coaches regarded Wu as a talented skater all the way.

B.Wu kept on practicing skating all year round even in the holidays for 10 years.

C.Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin were more and more hard-working on skating than Wu Dajing.

C.Pyeong Chang Winner Olympics D.Rising of China’s Bright Skiing Star

27、Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.

If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering(不开花的) plants.

Flowering plants can make seeds(种子). The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.

Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady(阴凉的) places, they usually grow into new plants.

【1】What fact does the passage lead you to believe?

A. Of all living things, animals are most important.

B. Spores are seeds.

C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds.

D. Without plants, man will die out.

【2】The paragraph following the passage will be about ________.

A. how plants can make food from air

B. how spores grow into new plants

C. why some plants have no seeds

D. why non-flowering plants are more important than flowering plants

28、On a snowy day, Robert Louis Stevenson took a paintbrush and draw a map of the island called treasure island. He named the hills, rivers and harbors of the island one by one. And all the faces of the characters came to his m【1】. So the book Treasure Island was born.

The main character is a boy called Jim Hawkins, living in a safe and p【2】 world with his parents at the beginning. This life l【3】 until he found a map showing the location of the island with huge treasure that had been h【4】 by the terrible pirate Captain Flint. Jim joined Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney on a j【5】 to find the treasure along with a number of different pirates, who were led by the fearful Long John Silver. During the adventure, the boy got over his fear to fight bravely a【6】 the pirates. In the end, he successfully returned home with the treasure and he also g【7】 into a mature young man. So many readers think Jim’s search for treasure is a process for his search for h【8】.

In this book, readers can enjoy the adventure fun and exciting travel experiences all the time, so it can be said that if Chinese children grow up reading Journey to the West, then W【9】 children grow up reading Treasure Island. This book is also praised as the g【10】 adventure stories after “Robinson Crusoe”.
