24、

You must think a computer is the best thing in the world, right? You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything? Well, it’s not! In fact, the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. First, your eyes check out what’s going on, then tell your brain, and your brain decides how quickly you need to react(反应), and then your muscles(肌肉) go into action. That is just from your brain. No computers could ever come close to that!

The brain weighs just 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ(器官). There are about 100 billion tiny, tiny little cells(细胞) in your brain. There are so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all!

Your brain stops growing when you’re 18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You won’t be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain NEVER stops working. Even during sleeping, the brain works for long-term memory establishment(建立). It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body as the heart that never stops during human lives.

So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature.

【1】In Paragraph 1,the writer wants to tell us _________.

A．eyes and muscles react quickly

B．the brain controls everything in your body

C．the brain is more powerful than any computer

【2】In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “That” refers to(指的是) ________ .

A．the body weight

A．The brain doesn’t work during sleeping.

B．The brain is the only organ that never stops.

C．The brain keeps on developing during human lives.

【4】Which word can best describe the brain according to the passage?

A．Magic

B．Quick

C．Light

【5】In which magazine can the passage be found most probably?

A．Sports

B．Medicine

C．Science

25、For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective “fashionable” in the same way: “She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour.” But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs…and in languages.

Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.

Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspaper, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours. New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.

【1】From this passage we know that “fashion” means ______.

A. clothes  B. many things

C. most of the popular things D. everything

【2】Which of the following things is fashionable today?

A. Surfing on the Internet.

B. Having a family dinner on New Year’s Day.

C. Learning to sing songs on the radio.

D. Doing morning exercises at school.

【3】Today fashions change very quickly because _______.

A. people read newspaper every day

B. radios send information from one country to another

C. new things that people like are often shown on TV

D. people quickly learn what is happening in the world

【4】“There is money in fashion” means ______.

A. clothes are expensive   B. money comes from fashion

C. people like new things D. fashions make big money

26、“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”

This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD(公元)53 wrote it

We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.

But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?

Picture this, You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?

Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave up feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no car, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live simpler lives.

One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.

The grandmother, Lyn, said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things”

【1】In the passage the writer describes a picture to show that new inventions _ .

A. have speeded up our lives

B. have improve the quality of our lives

C. may make people feel very happy

D. may bring people some trouble

【2】The family chose to spend some time in a 1940s house because_____

A. they loved to live simple lives

B. they wanted to know how people lived without modern inventions

C. they were troubled by modern inventions

D. living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them

【3】According to the passage, which id NOT right?

A. People who live far away from noisy cities often seem to be happier.

B. An unknown Roman was sure that the quality of life would get better.

C. The family had some changes when they lived in a 1940s house.

D. With the improvement of our lives, we often feel stressed and tired.

【4】The passage is mainly about __________

A. problems with technology

B. improvements of our lives with technology

C. changes happening to technology

D. the importance of technology

27、   Prana was a beautiful dog, whose name means “breath of life”. Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love.

I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he’d catch an apple and take it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn’t always happy that Prana had brought them into the house.

It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special.

When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The garden was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat. He knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food for the coming winter!
