24、You’ve got plenty of emails from your mom， and maybe even a few from dear old grandma. But have you ever received a message from a river?

Now， Ireland’s River Lee is sending out much information， thanks to wireless(无线的) technology. In a program called the DEPLOY project， scientists have put some sensors(传感器) in rivers that can find pollution levels.

Instead of asking scientists to collect water samples several times a day， the government can now examine pollution levels in the water， and find out if there is anything polluted entering the river. This makes it much easier for scientists to protect the environment， since problems can be discovered before a serious pollution accident really happens.

People in the area can also receive free reports from the river， so that they can find out whether the water is safe for swimming or boating on a certain day. And people can also know if the water is clear enough for them to drink and use.

The DEPLOY project has not only started in Ireland， also the same programs have started in thousands of places around the U.S. Now you live in a world in which you could receive information with your mobile phone about environment. The technology should help to make us know more about the pollution that surrounds us—which just might get us all a little more involved with trying to clean up our world.

【1】 How do scientists find pollution levels in rivers?

A. By putting sensors in rivers.

B. By using mobile phones.

C. By boating or swimming.

D. By surfing the Internet.

【2】The underlined word “samples” in the passage means “_______” in Chinese.

A. 样品 B. 有机物   C. 无机物   D. 示范

【3】The DEPLOY project is a project that cares for ________.

A. weather   B. environment   C. industry D. study

【4】What can we mainly learn from the fourth paragraph?

A. People can receive reports from the river

B. People can find if they can swim in the water.

C. The project is good for people’s daily life

D. People can know if the water is clear enough

【5】Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The DEPLOY project has only started in the United States.

B. The DEPLOY project tells us how to keep the air and water clean.

C. The DEPLOY project helps us live in a world with clear air.

D. You can receive information about environment with your phone.

25、Do you think you’re smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn，a professor at a New Zealand university，you are! Over the course of the last century，people who have taken IQ have gotten increasingly better  scores —on average，three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvements is known as the "Flynn effect"，and scientists want to know what is behind it．

IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge．Flynn knew that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment and experience, but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. or our surroundings. So What was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?

Scientists have proposed(提出)several explanations for the Flynn effect．Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure(暴露)to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition. (营养) Since it results in babies being born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past．Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles，with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kinds of problem-solving that intelligence tests require.

Flynn has limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test．Test-takers didn’t do better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test；They did better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving. For example，one part of the test shows a set of abstract (抽象的) shapes and test-takers must find the patterns (模式) and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the test.

According to Flynn，this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases．Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test．So are you really smarter than your parents？In one very specific way，you may be．

【1】The "Flynn effect" is ______.

A. used to measure intelligence

B. an increase in IQ test scores over time

C. the influence of technology on intelligence

D. connected our experience

【2】The underlined word “heredity” means _______.

A. the technological improvement

B. the advanced educational methods

C. the help of our peer or schoolmates

D. intelligence passing down from our parents

【3】According to the passage，which of the following statements is true?

A. Taking fewer tests can help us get higher scores.

B. Experience have more effects on our intelligence than surroundings.

C. Newer education encourages children to find things out by themselves.

D. People’s vocabulary ability and visual intelligence have improved.

【4】What could be the best title for the passage?

A. What is Flynn effect?

B. How can we do better on IQ tests?

C. Are parents helping in our intelligence?

D. Are human beings getting smarter?

26、But ugly fruits should be loved, too. In recent years, a new crop of “ugly produce” companies have been around the U.S. These start-ups sell those ugly fruits that supermarkets refuse. And they send them right to your door.

The companies say they’re on a mission（使命）. They want to stop billions of pounds of imperfect produce（农产品）from going to waste. Think of it this way: Is a banged-up (be knocked and some places broken) banana any less tasty in a peanut butter sandwich? Why should it be thrown away?

Sounds like these companies have the right idea. They even offer deep low prices. That’s great news for customers. But not everyone is happy. Some people say these companies may be thinking only about themselves.

△

Imperfect produce isn’t always wasted.

Many small farmers had already been selling imperfect produce to customers and farmers markets. Then the ugly produce companies started growing up. These companies, such as Imperfect Produce, can offer more fruits and veggies from large farms around the country. They make it harder for smaller farms to compete. So the farmers are losing money.

Also, ugly fruits and veggies already have uses. Take the food service industry for example. There, produce is sliced, diced, blended, and more. No one cares if the fruit is pretty or ugly. On farms, fruits can be fed to animals. Rotted（腐烂的）fruit is added back into soil for nutrients. And, what’s more, ugly produce companies have been charged with taking food away from the needy.

Are these start-ups causing more bad than good?

Not So Bad, After All?

What do ugly produce companies say? They are guarding themselves.

In March 2019, Imperfect Produce told people that the company doesn’t take away from the needy. It gets resources from farms only after food banks take what they want, it said. Also, the company often gives food to food banks. Put that in your food basket!

It is true that produce goes to waste in America. The Department of Agriculture has said that food waste is a big problem. In fact, about 30 to 40 percent of the country’s food is wasted.

But Imperfect Produce says both farmers and ugly produce companies can help reduce food waste. It doesn’t have to be either-or.

No matter whose side you’re on, remember this: It’s what’s on the inside that counts.

【1】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．Ugly produce companies are doing more good than bad.

B．Not everyone supports ugly produce companies’ missions.

C．Ugly produce companies are loved because of lower prices.

D．Ugly produce companies make the most use of imperfect produce.

【2】What is the most suitable for the △ ?

A．The Ugly Truth?

B．Not So Good, Above All.

C．But So Bad, Really?

D．The Ugly Wasted.

【3】What fact does the passage provide?

A．It’s important for smaller farms to get more customers to make money.

B．Food waste is caused because supermarkets refuse ugly produce.

C．Ugly produce companies sell imperfect produce to prevent waste.

D．Customers are interested in stopping food waste and saving money.

【4】The writer probably wrote the article in order to ______.

A．tell ugly produce companies to give unwanted fruits and vegetables to the needy

B．show the reasons why there are more and more ugly produce companies

C．offer readers an introduction to ugly produce companies and their missions

D．make readers only buy food from companies that work with smaller farms

27、   I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare (兔子) and the tortoise (乌龟). At the end I said.“Son, remember: Slow and steady (稳固的) wins the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”

Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m participating（参加） in the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy and Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”

I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep on the way!”

“He must have wished that,” Sonny said. “Otherwise how could he be so stupid as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”

“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted, “He won the race by perseverance（坚持）, by pushing on steadily.”

Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”

I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.
