25、When you want to ask your teacher a question during class, what do you do? Do you simply shout out your question as soon as it enters your mind? Or do you raise your hand and wait until the teacher calls your name?

If you politely raise your hand first, it’s probably because your teacher has a rule that regulates (规定) what you are allowed to do when you have a question. Can you imagine what it would be like if everyone can simply talk whenever they want during class? Instead of a peaceful learning environment, a classroom without rules would be chaotic (混乱的)!

When you learn to drive, you’ll realize how many rules you have to follow. The rules for driving share a common purpose (目的) with many rules you must follow in your daily life to keep you safe. As an ancient Chinese saying goes, “No rules, no standards.” If you make a list of the rules you follow each day, you will quickly realize how many of them can keep you safe and make your life more enjoyable as a result.

Although sometimes you feel like a rule is unjust (不公平的), don’t break it. Instead, decide what you can do to change the rule. Working within the rules to change the rules is what you need to do.

【1】How does the writer start the passage?

A．By giving examples.

B．By describing a situation.

C．By asking some questions.

D．By providing some materials.

【2】To keep order in the classroom, what can teachers do according to Paragraph 2?

A．Change some unjust rules.

B．Set some rules in advance( 提前).

C．Punish students who break the rules.

D．Teach students how important rules are.

【3】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?

A．吃一堑，长一智。

B．不入虎穴，焉得虎子。

C．有则改之，无则加勉。

D．不以规矩，不能成方圆。

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．We needn’t pay attention to unjust rules.

B．We can’t make efforts to change the rules.

C．Following rules can give you a safe and happy life in a way.

D．The writer gives an example to explain what rules are unjust.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The ways of making fair rules.

B．The importance of rules.

C．Why rules can influence our lives.

D．How students should act in school.

26、   It is reported rhino horns are big business. Traditional Chinese medicine uses them to treat illnesses. A kilogram can be sold as much as horn $60,000.As a result, almost all rhino populations are in danger. In order to solve the serious problems, a good way to relieve pressure on the animals might be to fill the market with fakes(仿造品),so rhinos may have a chance to stay alive.

That would need the fakes to be good. But Fritz Vollrath, a zoologist at Oxford University and his partners from Fudan University have come up with a cheap and easy-to-make fake horn that is very similar to the real thing.

The main material of Dr. Vollrath's fake horn is horsehair. Although horses and rhinos look different, they are closely related. Horses do not have horns, of course, but neither do rhinos. The "horns" of rhinos are not made of bones but hairs. The hairs are tied tightly together by a mixture of dead cells. Examinations under a microscope showed that hairs from horses' tails are similar to those in the horns of rhinos.

So how can a fake rhino horn be made? First, find out the right materials. Second, a proper glue should be used. Dr. Vollrath and his partners get a special kind of glue. It is naturally produced by spiders and silkworms. Third, the glued horn is put in an oven to dry. At last, after some polishing, the fake horn looks just like a real one.

DNA would certainly tell the fakes but people's eyes are not able to tell the differences. So by making fake horns, people may help save more rhinos.

【1】Rhino populations are in danger because____________.

A.they become seriously ill B.rhinos have a lot of pressure

C.fake rhino horns may fool people D.rhino horns can be sold at a good price

【2】The Chinese meaning of "relieve” in Paragraph 1 is____________.

A.缓和 B.重复 C.加剧 D.消灭

【3】The underlined word "those" in Paragraph 3 refers to_

A.tails B.horses C.hairs D.examinations

【4】There are ____________steps to make a fake rhino horn according to the passage.

A.three B.four C.five D.six

【5】The writer's opinion about the fake rhino horns is that

A.people have to make fake rhino horns to save rhinos.

B.it's expensive and difficult to make the fake rhino horns.

C.people make the fake rhino horns to make lots of money.

D.the fake rhino horns are completely the same as the real ones.

27、阅读下列内容，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living. People don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

【1】People with little education usually   .

A. spend a long time in school

B .have a good chance to get a job

C. spend the best years to choose jobs

A.圆满的   B.崭新的   C.公平的 D.全面的

【4】It is expected that educated people will be able to   .

A.accepted education as a way of living

B.take an interest in the world

C.develop their abilities to make plays

D.learn subjects like language and math

28、阅读短文，首字母填空。

Three years ago, I took an online honors biology class through the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth. It o【1】 me different classes and camps.

I ended up taking over 90 pages of notes on all of the concepts(概念) that were c【2】 within the class and I was also quizzed on every unit.

In addition to the quizzes, I also had to complete interactive(交互的) labs, w【3】 allowed me to work with many different types of materials. I g【4】 to study ecosystems(生态系统) at the beach, collect different leaves and flowers and learn about flower structures. I even began to create a sample (样本) of my own DNA.

Although it was hard to keep up with my classwork, I made a schedule and stuck to it as w【5】 as I could. Some lab students also wrote reports about lab procedures (程序). To do this, I had to form a hypothesis(假设) about what I thought would h【6】 in the lab.

Although all of the labs were q【7】 interesting, I had to study hard for the midterm and the f【8】. Both tests were full of questions that required detailed answer. I reviewed all of my coursework and notes. L【9】, I did well on my exam! This class has helped prepare me for future s【10】 classes.

29、Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文）

Three years ago, a group of researchers at Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab had a guess. They knew that as part of the National School Lunch Program, apples were served to kids.

But many of them ________ in the rubbish bins, some even untouched. Unlike others, they wondered why the kids didn’t want the fruit.

They thought the fact that the apples were being served whole, rather than sliced (切成片的), made the fruit out of favor. And they wanted to ________ this idea.

They carried out a study at eight schools and found that fruit consumption(消耗) ________ by more than 60 percent when apples were served sliced. They then made a followup study at six other schools, which not only showed the same result, but further ________ it. Both the overall apple consumption and the percentage of students who ate more than half of the apple served to them were more than 70 percent higher at schools that served sliced apples.

Based on these results, it seems that even the simplest forms of inconvenience can influence us. Sliced apples did reduce the waste. However, the hardest part is getting kids to ________ eating fruit, and that’s exactly why sliced apples are the way to go. A child holding a whole apple has to break the skin, eat around the core (果核), and ________ the inconvenience of holding a large fruit. These problems might seem silly or unimportant, but they’re important when you’re missing teeth or have braces (牙箍), as so many kids do.

It’s one of those situations where what seems like a really small inconvenience actually makes a huge difference.
