24、阅读下文，从所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

Last week Lu visited England. He stayed with my grandmother. He found it was strange.

‘I don’t know why, but I frightened your grandmother a lot. When I arrived, I gave her a purse from Huai’an. She looked in it and asked me to take it back. Then I saw a red spider (蜘蛛) on the table, and I killed it for her. She seemed very unhappy. Do English people like spiders?

‘Later we went shopping. Someone was painting a shop front, so there was a ladder. Grandmother stopped me from walking under it and said I must walk around it. I liked the shops and bought some lovely rose soap for my mother, a smart umbrella for my father and some new shoes for myself. When we got back, I put the shoes on the table and opened the umbrella to check if it was all right. Your grandmother came in and screamed!

‘Then I broke a small mirror in the bathroom. Your grandmother’s face went white. I felt very sorry. When I left, I gave your grandmother some flowers. She counted and there were 13. She didn’t like them.’

I explained to Lu, ‘My grandmother follows the old customs. You must not give someone an empty purse, or they will have no money. You must not kill a “money spider”, or the same will happen. Also it is very unlucky to walk under a ladder or put new shoes on the table. An open umbrella in a house means someone will die. Breaking a mirror brings seven years’ bad luck, and 13 is also a very unlucky number. You were really making my grandmother very afraid.’

【1】Why did Lu frighten the writer’s grandmother?

A. Because he could not speak English.  

B. Because he did many unlucky things.

C. Because he understood British customs.

D. Because he went shopping in England.

【2】What do many British people think of spiders?

A. They are afraid of them.  

B. They keep spiders as pets.

C. They hope to see every kind of spiders in their houses.

D. They think some kinds of spiders are lucky.

【3】What did the writer’s grandmother feel when she saw the umbrella?

A. Excited.   B. Satisfied. C. Afraid. D. Happy.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Thirteen is an unlucky number in England.

B. It is very unlucky to walk under a ladder or put new shoes on the table in England.

C. For most British people, breaking a mirror means bad luck.

D. People never give purses as presents in England.

【5】 How many wrong things did Lu do altogether?

A. 5.   B. 6.   C. 8. D. 10.

25、One night in December 2011, a bear came into the city of Vancouver in Canada. It walked through the streets, past houses, shops and offices until it found some food in bins outside a restaurant and started eating. In the morning, someone saw the bear and called the police. They came with a vet（兽医）from the city zoo, put the bear in a lorry and took it back to the mountains. Luckily, the bear was safe, but what happens in other countries when big animals come into cities?

In Cape Town, South Africa, baboons（狒狒）enter the city when they are hungry. They go into gardens and eat fruit from trees, or into houses and take food from cupboards（碗橱）and fridges. Baboons are strong animals and they can scare people. But the city can be dangerous for baboons too.

Sometimes, they are killed in traffic accidents. Human food is very bad for their teeth because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are baboon monitors（监督员）working in Cape Town to return the animals to the countryside.

In Berlin, pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. They eat flowers and plants from parks and gardens, and cause accidents in the streets. Some people like the pigs and they give them food and water to drink. Other people do not like the pigs and want the government and police to stop them.

In Moscow there are 35, 000 wild dogs. They live in parks, old houses, markets and train stations. Many people give them food and water. Some make small houses for the dogs in their gardens. This helps them in winter, when the temperature is一10℃ and there is a lot of snow and ice.

In some cities, you can see birds, insects, mice and squirrels every day. But sometimes, it is dangerous when big animals come from the countryside to find food. We need some good ideas to stop animals coming into the city without hurting them.

【1】Why do big animals go into cities, according to the article?

A. Because they are hungry. B. Because they are homeless.

C. Because they are lost. D. Because they like being with humans.

【2】In Vancouver, a bear came into the city on a night.

A. spring B. summer C. autumn D. winter

【3】Why should we stop animals from entering cities?

A. They often kill people in the streets.

B. They eat too much food in people’s gardens.

C. They may harm other animals in the city.

D. They may cause trouble and endanger people’s lives.

26、We often praise the world of science.

It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能，AI). This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that think like humans.

However, one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.

“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race,” said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.

Hawking is a well-known British physicist and author of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came after commenting（评论）the technology he uses to speak with. As Hawking has got a serious disease called ALS, he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.

This is a basic type of AI, which is very useful, yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can match or surpass human intelligence. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films show big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited（限制） by slow biological evolution (进化), couldn’t compete,” said Hawking.

But not every scientist is pessimistic (悲观的) about AI technology. “I believe we will be in control of the technology for a long time,” said Rollo Carpenter, creator of Cleverbot in the UK, which is a software program that remembers past conversations. “The advantages of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized.” In what direction do you think AI is heading? Should we be hopeful or fearful?

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about AI?

A. It makes our lives easier.

B. The technology is not very popular now.

C. Scientists haven’t controlled the technology.

【2】The writer took Hawking as an example to ______.

A. explain how AI has helped us

B. show AI has already become part of our life

C. suggest that AI might become dangerous for humans

【3】What does the underlined word “surpass” mean in the passage?

A. 象征   B.促进 C. 超越

【4】We can know from the last paragraph that _________.

A. Rollo agrees with Hawking

B. Rollo is a British creator

C. Rollo invented Cleverbot in the US

【5】Which of the following can be a suitable title for this article?

A. AI: a friend or an enemy

B. The future of human beings

C. The fight between humans and AI

27、It’s that time of year again. The lead-up（前奏）to everyone’s favorite holiday — Christmas!

Usually Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On this day all the stores open early and offer the best discounts（折扣）to their customers. Interestingly, people push to buy the cheapest products, just a few hours after giving thanks for the things they have.

Usually televisions and laptops are the most popular products on Black Friday. People are willing to wait for hours for their favorite stores to open because they want very much to get the items they need.

This year I decided to go out and grab a bargain（特价商品）at one of these sales, just to see what it is like. After a delicious Thanksgiving meal, I drove to the mall around half an hour before the stores opened. Already there were people lining up and waiting outside. Some had even prepared themselves with tents and hot chocolate to stay warm in the cold weather. I entered the store, but I wasn’t looking for anything specific. I just walked around the store checking out the prices. I bought some cheap clothes, while other people were loading their shopping carts（手推车）with tons of different items.

Some people come to the Black Friday sales for the products, and others come to enjoy the experience. However, some stores can be a little dangerous during Black Friday. Every year there are always some cases of people fighting over the small number of goods. This year Wal-Mart learned its lesson and made the sales last longer. They made sure customers came for the first hour, got what they wanted and then left quickly.

【1】What products sell best on Black Friday?

A. Delicious food.     B. Televisions and laptops.

C. Cheap clothes.   D. Tents and hot chocolate.

【2】The author went to the mall after Thanksgiving to ______.

A. study people’s shopping habits

B. look for some clothes he wanted

C. buy some items for the family

D. experience the shopping season

【3】What does the underlined word “loading” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Choosing B. Making C. Filling D. Buying

【4】 Why does the author say some stores can be dangerous?

A. Because the sales last too long indeed.

B. Because the stores can be over-crowded.

C. Because many people are waiting outside.

D. Because there are fewer products than needed.

【5】 What is special about Black Friday?

A. It is a wonderful time to do shopping.

B. It is a good time to enjoy the experience.

C. People are in great need of many things.

D. People have just given thanks for what they have.
