24、   Chicago is a great town. I love it. We have two baseball teams here, the Cubs and the White Sox. I like the Cubs. The White Sox are boring and they’re losers（失败者）, too. I never go to their games. But there’s a lot more to Chicago than baseball. Look around, we’re in the city now. This is Michigan Avenue. There’s the John Hancock Centre.

That building is 100 floors high! That’s too high, if you ask me. If there is a fire on the 85th or 90th floor, how are the firemen going to put it out? There’s no chance……Look over there.

There’s a large building. It’s the Sears Tower. That building is 110 floors high! Do you see those buildings there? They are the Marina City Apartments. They have 60 floors each. Thousands of people in each one . Imagine that, all those people in two buildings. It’s terrible to have so many neighbours. There’s the Merchandise Mart. That’s another big building. Do you know what’s in the building? There are stores, restaurants, a bank, a post office, a radio station and a TV station. It’s too crowded, well, here we are. Remember, ask any taxi driver about Chicago. We know everything about this town.

【1】Why does the speaker never go to the White Sox’s games?

A.Because they don’t play well.

B.Because he doesn’t like baseball.

C.Because they usually play in other cities.

D.Because there’s a lot more to Chicago than baseball.

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.It’s great fun to live in big cities like Chicago.

B.There are many stores and banks in the Merchandise Mart.

C.It’s not a good thing to have too many neighbours.

D.The Marina City Apartments are crowded.

【3】We know from the passage that the speaker is probably_________.

A.a visitor B.a tour guide C.a taxi driver D.an editor

25、   It has been described as art by some people, but to others it’s an ugly part of modern life.

What is it? Graffiti (涂鸦), of course. Look around cities in the UK today and you can see graffiti on buildings, walls, doors and even on buses or trains that have stayed in one place for too long. But where modern technology creates a problem, it also finds a way to deal with it. Last week, The Weekend West was shown around the factory of a small but successful company (公司), Hubdean.

Hubdean’s achievement is some special paints which are graffiti-resistant. How do they work? It couldn’t be simpler. Take any graffiti-covered surface. First, a treatment called Agproclear is used. Then, using a very hot pressure jet (压力喷嘴), this treatment is taken away and the graffiti disappears at the same time. Now you have a clean wall. But before this clean wall can be painted on by graffiti lovers, a new product, Agproshield, is used. This paint has a special surface which gives it two important advantages. Firstly, spray paint (喷雾颜料) won’t stick to the surface very well, and secondly, the whole surface can be cleaned very easily, just using water. Once the surface is painted, no specialist equipment (设备) is needed to keep the area clean and graffiti-free.

Not surprisingly, Hubdean’s products are used by both local governments and private companies all over the UK, and now orders are being received from around the world. This brings the company a problem, however. Can they increase production to satisfy the needs? Of course, they can build a second factory or work with a large international company to make their products. The future is looking good for Hubdean!

【1】What does the underlined word “graffiti-resistant” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Painting graffiti. B.Keeping graffiti. C.Preventing graffiti. D.Changing graffiti.

【2】When should Agproshield be used?

A.Before Agproclear is used. B.When the wall is still clean.

C.When Agproclear doesn’t work. D.After graffiti is painted on the wall.

【3】What can we learn about Hubdean?

A.There is a good market for its products.

B.A large company is going to buy its products.

C.It is developing more new and better products.

D.Most of its business comes from private companies.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.Is Hubdean successful? B.Is graffiti art? Of course not!

C.Hubdean a high-tech company? D.Graffiti a problem? Just wash it off!

26、   I always think my daughter Kendall is the best—that's just what parents do. When she was only three, she sang for the people, like a little angel.

When Kendall was five, we noticed that she sometimes had a tic (面部抽搐). When the problem got worse, we took her from doctor to doctor. During the treatment, Kendall continued to sing. Surprisingly, her tics disappeared when she sang.

When Kendall was sixteen, we thought she would be cured soon. However, a terrible thing happened.

At a party, Kendall jumped on a friend for a piggyback ride. He bent lower than she expected, and she jumped higher than he expected. Kendall flew over his back and landed on the floor—on her neck. She was rushed to hospital, paralyzed(瘫痪) from the neck down. She couldn't move. But her biggest worry wasn't whether she would walk again, but was whether she could try out for a show called American Idol.

As the days went on, feeling on her left side returned, but she was still paralyzed on the right. We weren't sure how much of her movement would come back. A friend brought a microphone and put it on her bed. Every day, Kendall tried hard to pick it up. It was more important for her to pick up that microphone than a spoon or fork.

Sometimes she had to bite a toothbrush to take her mind off the pain. We all cried because of the pain we witnessed. But on the day—only three months after her accident—we cried full of joy when she sang, though she didn't enter the Top 24 of American Idol.

When she was a little girl, she asked me why it was she that had tics. My heart hurt, but I told her, "Kendall, you have a pure heart, a fantastic voice, a strong mind. And you are a beautiful presence.”

【1】When did they notice that Kendall sometimes had a tic?

A.When she was five. B.When she was sixteen.

C.When she sang. D.When she saw the doctor.

【2】What was a surprise during the treatment in Paragraph 2?

A.She had a tic. B.Her tics disappeared when she sang.

C.She was cured soon. D.She sang for the people.

【3】Why was it more important for Kendall to pick up that microphone than a spoon or fork?

A.Because Kendall loved singing.

B.Because Kendall didn't like a spoon or fork.

C.Because Kendall's friend brought the microphone for her.

D.Because that microphone was more beautiful for her than a spoon or fork.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A.An American Idol.

B.A paralyzed girl.

C.The girl who had a tic.

D.A beautiful girl.

27、When I began to move to Auckland to study the law, my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India, where we lived. She worried about the shortage of jobs and the cultural differences that I would face.

I came to New Zealand in July 2013. I found the people were very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived, I realized the importance of getting a part time job to make a living.

Deciding to do this on my own, I spent a whole day going from door to door for a job. However, I received a little or no reply. This became my daily activity after college for a few weeks.

One afternoon, I walked into a building to ask if there were any job chances. The people there were very surprised, and advised me not to continue my job search in that way. As I was about to leave, a secretary in the building came up to me and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.

Along the way, I realized I had run out of copies of my resume (简历). The man stopped at his friend‟s office to make me 15 extra copies. He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking. I handed out my resume and went home. The following day, I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.

It seemed that the world always gives back to you when you need it. And this time, it was a complete stranger who turned out to  be a real blessing (祝福).

【1】The writer moved to Auckland to ______.

A．avoid the job shortage

B．face the cultural differences

C．start his life in a new place

D．study the law in college

A．he needed to find a job to make a living.

B．people there were not very friendly.

C．he should always stay confident.

D．it was easy to get a new job.

A．How a secretary offered the writer a job.

B．How a secretary turned out to be a real hero.

C．How a stranger helped the writer to get a job.

D．How the writer made a living in a new country.

28、根据句子意思, 用所给单词的适当形式填空, 将答案写在答卷上。

I once found that helping someone could get you into a lot of trouble.

I was in the【1】 (nine) grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl 【2】(sit) next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. Finally I found that she was trying to ask me 【3】I had an extra pen. She showed me that 【4】(her) was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I put it on her desk.

Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher【5】(ask) me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about how important it was 【6】(stand) on my own two 【7】(foot) and be responsible for my own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and pointed out 【8】 people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think 【9】(serious) about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me 【10】all those things.

Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test.
