25、From November 1st to December 10th in 2020, China started its seventh national population census(普查). 7 million census takers have asked each family about their name, gender(性别), age, education, job and so on. This census is different from the ones in the past. For the first time, citizens were encouraged to use smartphones and other digital tools to record their information.

China has a national population census every 10 years. The first one was done in 1953. At that time, there were about 600 million people in China. But China’s population has boomed. It was about 1.37 billion in 2010.

For the 2020’s national population census, all people of China were included in the census. But Chinese citizens who had settled(定居) abroad and foreigners who were staying in China on either business or tourist visas(旅游签证) were not counted.

“The census is very important for every citizen,” said Ning Jizhe. “It will help improve infrastructure(基础建设) and public services. For example, if census results show that there are many children living in an area, the government will know that it should build more schools there.”

Scientists can also learn more about population growth from the census. In some years, the population grows faster than in others. Even in the same year, population growth is different in different places. Scientists can use the information to find out what causes growth in certain years and places.

【1】Why was the 2020’s national population census different from others?

A．China had the larger population in 2020 than in other years.

B．The 2020’s national population census included people’s jobs and education.

C．People could use digital tools to record their information in 2020.

D．The 2020’s national population census took the shortest time.

【2】The first national population census in China was done ________.

A．in 1953

B．in 1964

C．in 2000

D．in 2010

【3】What does the underlined word “boomed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean in Chinese?

A．下降

B．包括

C．测量

D．增长

【4】________ was included in the 2020’s national population census.

A．Chinese people who are traveling abroad

B．Chinese people who have settled in other countries

26、   Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us develop more slowly but then become lifelong feelings, reaching deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be happier if we accept their hospitality(友好) easily.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they treat us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts（主人）, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to  our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily life. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.

We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for only business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

【1】This passage is probably from________.

A.a novel B.a magazine C.a letter D.a diary

【2】The underlined words generous with our time probably mean ________.

A.strict with time B.careful with time

C.thankful to time D.glad to spend time

【3】The passage is about________.

A.the way Americans treat visitors

B.the way Chinese treat visitors

C.the differences between Americans and Chinese

D.the differences between American culture and Chinese culture

【4】From the passage, we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we’ll probably be ________.

A.welcomed at the airport B.offered a ride to his home

C.treated hospitably at his home D.invited to dinner in a restaurant

【5】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A.Friendship between Americans usually reach deeply into their families.

B.Friendships between American usually last for all their lives.

C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.

D.Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.

27、I heard the following curious story from a railway acquaintance (相识的人). He was a gentleman of more than seventy years of age, and his good face and sincere manner put the stamp of truth on everything he said.

“You know, in Siam the royal white elephant is very important. It is sacred to kings, and only kings can have a white elephant. And white elephants are more important than the king.”

Very well…five years ago…

After a misunderstanding between the countries, the King of Siam decides to send the Queen of England a present. This present must be a royal one. And what present can be as royal as a white elephant? It is my job to deliver the present to her Majesty the Queen. I travel with my servants, and the officers and helpers of the elephant, in a ship. Soon we arrive in New York harbour and I find a place for my royal elephant to stay in Jersey City. The elephant is not well and we must stay in New York until the doctors say he is better and can travel again.

_________________________________. I get a phone call in the middle of the night: the white elephant is stone! For some moments I feel helpless. Then I become calmer. There is only one thing I can do. I hurry to New York City and ask the first policeman that I meet to bring me to the headquarters (总部) of the police force. I am fortunate. The chief of the force, the well-known Inspector Blunt, is there. I tell him everything. He does not seem at all surprised. He asks me to sit down and says calmly, “Let me think for a moment, please.”

Then he sits down at his office table and leans his head on his hand. Some people are working at the other end of the room. For the next six or seven minutes the only sound I can hear is the sound of their pens. The inspector sits quietly, thinking. Finally he raises his head, and I can see from his face that he has a plan.

Coconut Island is a beautiful island with of course, coconut palms(椰子树), golden beaches and clear blue sea. I'm sorry, I made a    there. Coconut Island was a beautiful island. There are still coconut palms, golden beaches and clear blue sea but not like before. So, what happened?

Well, I have a friend who was here five years ago. Her photo album is full of wonderful pictures of empty beaches. Also she has pictures of small. wooden bungalows（小屋） on the beach. No need to book she said, just   and you have the place to yourself - very basic. cheap, quiet and peaceful.

  Not anymore! The beach is empty - it's crowded all day! There is  music from the cafes. children are shouting and screaming, and the hotels are very expensive. Most of the hotels are full of holidaymakers who booked their trip months ago. I'm lucky to have a small room at the back of one hotel, and it's still expensive.

But perhaps this is   ? Not only are the roads better but there is also a new medical clinic. The local kids now speak English 'Mister. mister. you want t-shirt?' and there are many new businesses opening all the time. I see an old woman trying to cross the road from her house to the shops. It's no longer a small, quiet road but a large and very busy one. She looks nervous and waits for someone to walk with her. The children no longer ride bicycles but race around the island on motorbikes. It's not so     either - my friend stayed in a bungalow on the beach that had no lock. Now the hotel room says it's a good idea to put things in the safe box.
