25、 Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）

In the 1920s, scientists found a collection of bones near Beijing,China. They believed that the bones were human and that they were about 500,000 years old. They also believed the bones were important because they were form a little-known stage in the evolution of human beings.

The bones were kept in Beijing until 1941. Then because the Japanese army was advancing towards the city, the scientists decided to send the bones to the US for safety.

Dr Harry L.Shapiro, former Professor of Anthropology（人类学）at Columbia University, has been searching for them ever since. He believes they were stolen by the American army officer whose job was to take them to the US. He could be right.

After the war, a Chicago businessman offered $5,000 to anybody with information about the bones. A woman phoned him and told him she knew where the bones were. He arranged to meet her on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building in New York. They met and she told him that her husband had come home from China with fossils（化石）of a prehistoric（of the time before recorded history）man. She showed him photographs of them. Then she walked away and was never heard from again.

A few years later, however, a Sydney businessman reported that he had the bones and that he had buried them in a forest in Tasmania. He offered to say where for a large sum of money. Then he, too, was never heard from again. Someone, somewhere, has the bones but nobody seems to know who or where.

【1】How old were the bones thought to be?

A.Five thousand years old. B.Fifty thousand years old.

C.About half a million years old. D.A million years old.

【2】The scientists thought the bones were important because ________.

A.they were human B.they were found on a state

C.they had a history of 50,000 years D.they were from an important evolution period

【3】Why were the bones sent to the USA?

A.Because Americans liked collecting old things.

B.Because the bones might fall into the hands of Japanese invaders.

C.Because they could be sold for a lot of money.

D.because the Chinese didn't need them.

【4】What happened to the Chicago businessman when a person contacted him about the bones?

A.He made friends with the woman. B.He only talked to her on the phone.

C.He has never been heard from again. D.He met her and saw the photos of some bones.

【5】What happened a few years later?

A.A Sydney businessman offered to buy them for much money.

B.Nobody heard anything more about them.

C.A Sydney businessman took them to a forest in Tasmania.

D.An Australian said they were buried in Tasmania.

【6】From the passage we can conclude that ________.

A.the woman was sure to know where the bones were B.the bones have not been returned to China

C.the bones must have been in the Australian's hands D.the Sydney businessman must have told a lie

26、   Last weekend,Lucy and I went to a park, where she discovered a track with large bumps( 凸块)and sharp turns. At the beginning, I thought Lucy was able to ride her bike along the track, but she quickly found that her bike was too low to the ground and kept getting stuck( 卡住) on top of the bump.

Lucy looked at me with fear because she was still a biking newbie. I tried to encourage her too, but really, I was thinking this is going to be a disaster . Not because I thought she would get hurt. More because I thought she wouldn’t be able to pick up enough speed to balance, then get really discouraged, and give up quickly. I imagined her throwing her bicycle to the ground and then crying all the way home.

However, I was only half right. Lucy did have a lot of trouble riding the bike. She couldn’t find her balance. She fell many times. At one point, she almost started crying because younger kids were getting angry that she was slowing everyone else down. But she did not give up. She kept picking herself up and trying again. She even took the bike off the track and into the main park to practice pushing off and picking up speed on a flat ground. When she felt more confident, she came back. Then she did it over and over again until she finally reached her goal of going around the whole track without falling once. Then she didn’t want to leave and everyone was cheering her on.

This was not a day that ended in a disaster. It was a day when Lucy learned that perseverance pays off.

27、People who smoke could lose around one third of their daily memory, researchers say.

A study by a team at Northumbria University showed that smokers lost more of their memory when compared to non-smokers.

And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information back to almost the same level as non-smokers.

The study involved more than seventy 18-to-25-year-olds and included a research of the university .Those who took part were asked to recall small details, such as a list of songs played at the Students’ Union and tasks completed at various points .

Smokers performed badly, remembering just 59 %of tasks. But those who had given up smoking remembered 74 %and those who had never smoked recalled 81 % of tasks.

Dr. Tom Heffernan, who leads Northumbria University’s Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group, said the findings would be useful in movements against smoking. He said, “This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has an effect on memory.”

“We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits (好处)for the body, but this study also shows how stopping smoking can have knock-on benefits for cognitive functions （认知）too. ’’

【1】The research by Tom Heffernan’s team shows that smokers remember_____.

A. 15% less than those who have never smoked

B. 33% less than those who have given up smoking

In 2013, millions of children and teenagers were out of school. Most of them live in poor countries, 【7】 there are also some boys and girls who cannot go to school in rich countries.
