1、   At just 12 years old, Leonardo Nicanor Quinteros is still in middle school, 1. but he has already run his own free school. He helps other children with their studies.

Leonardo loves to study. After seeing some of his classmates trying to keep up at school, he decided to do something about it. Last year, he told his grandmother that he wanted to have his own school. 2. 他要奶奶帮他把学校建在他们家隔壁。She agreed. Today, the free school has nearly 40 students. The boy acts as teacher and headmaster. 3. He is proud that what he does has already made a big difference to many of the children there.

The school is not much to look at. It's made mostly of adobe(土砖) and is pretty small. 4. 但是，在邻居们的帮助下，学校正变得越来越好。Leonardo lives 20 minutes away from his own school. But every day he gets on his bicycle after coming home from school and rides to his own school. He teaches classes on different subjects, like math and grammar. Sometimes, 5. when his students cannot come, he gives the classes at night to make sure they don't get behind on their studies.

Leonardo does his best to help students improve their subjects. Many admit (承 认) that they have improved a lot. “He helped me to pass the tests, now I'm in Third Grade,” one of the students said.

24、   Though water does not seem all that exciting, it is very valuable. The Ancient Greek people believed all the fresh water on the Earth came from a river called Okeanos. They imagined that clouds collected rain from its magical waters (海域). The reason they believed in this is because water is important for humans, Doctors say that without water we would die in about one week.

There are two places that our fresh water comes from. The first is surface water, which includes all the water in lakes or rivers. The second is groundwater, which refers to all the water that comes from under the ground.

Water must be treated before it can come out of the tap (水龙头). First, anything harmful in the water must be removed. Then a cleaning agent (净化剂) is added. This will destroy any remaining germs (细菌).

There have been reports of factories in China letting waste water leak into the ground. Industrial waste water is a big problem as it can pollute our drinking water. Even if the water is treated, it is unfit for drinking. The Ministry of Environmental Protection has improved the water in China since 2004. In 2011, 76 percent of water was safe for dinking. But treated water should always be boiled before drinking.

Some countries have more fresh water resources (资源) and this means that it is easier for them to treat their water.

A report from a British Consulting Firm called Maplecroft found that Iceland has the best fresh water supply in the world. That is because most of the tap water in Iceland comes from pure mountain springs. No treatment of any kind is required before Icelandic people drink their delicious water.

【1】What is the main topic of the first paragraph?

A.An Ancient Greek story. B.The importance of water.

C.Okeanos the river. D.Clouds and water.

【2】Where does our fresh water come from?

A.From surface, water and lakes or rivers. B.From surface water and groundwater.

C.From a river called Okeanos. D.From the groundwater and Iceland.

【3】What do we know about tap water?

A.It comes directly from groundwater.

B.It comes directly from lakes or rivers.

C.The cleaning agent in it is bad for our health.

D.It must be treated before it comes out of the tap.

【4】What do the underlined words "leak into" in the fourth paragraph mean in Chinese?

A.填满 B.覆盖 C.渗漏 D.倒入

【5】Iceland has the best fresh water supply in the world because ________.

A.they always boil the water before drinking

B.there is no water pollution in Iceland

C.they have the best water treatment technology

D.most of the water comes from pure mountain springs.

25、阅读下面四篇材料，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

I don’t have too many memories of my father because he was so sick in the last years of his life. But there are some that I am often reminded of and which may have developed my love of science.

When I was small， I was somewhat afraid of lightning and thunder（雷）. My father explained it. The explanation was in words that a child could understand but was basically correct. I gained a better understanding and learnt something from him.

What he said was that there was electricity in the clouds and it traveled to the ground like a spark(火花). When it traveled through the air， it made the air so hot that it burned. Then there was nothing where the air had been and the air all around rushed in to fill the space. Saying this， he clapped his hands together very loudly， pretending to be the air rushing in， and said that makes the thunder. When I hear thunder， I can still hear that clap clearly.

He also explained why a cloudy winter night was warmer than a clear one. When there were clouds， they were like blankets(毛毯) which kept the earth and us warm. He said that if there were no clouds， we had no blankets and were exposed to the universe. Our warmth was going to heat the whole universe. Even today， I still feel on the edge of space on a very clear night.

I am sure there were many other lessons that I took but no longer remember most of them now. What I did learn， in general， was that there were explanations and that the more I understood them， the more comfortable the world was to live in. I was not taught that there were mysteries but that there was understanding if you looked for it. This may be why I have always taken an interest in science.

A. his hands clapped loudly

B. rushing air filled the space

C. electricity traveled through the air 

D. thick clouds knocked into each other

A. close B. cold C. covered D. open

【3】What did the writer think of his father’s explanation according to the passage?

C. Simple but scary  

D. Vivid and understandable

【4】We can know from the passage that .

A. the writer is smart enough to learn much

B. the writer has a good memory about learning

C. the writer has a good understanding of things in life

D. the writer was taught there were many secret things in the world

28、When Coffee Hits Paper

What would you do if you spilled (使洒出) your coffee on your desk? Many of us would quickly begin to clean up the desk and never 【1】(后悔) about  it  probably. But 【2】(德国的) artist Stefan  Kuhnigk, however, thinks differently. He has used coffee stains (咖啡渍) to create his world of art 【3】(疯地).

It all started in 2011. One day, Kuhnigk accidentally spilled his coffee on a piece of paper. Instead of 【4】(扔) the paper away, he looked at the coffee stain for a while. The stain seemed 【5】(痛苦的) to look back at him. The artist picked up his pen and started to draw. About 【6】(三十) minutes later, his first coffee monster was born.

Since then, Kuhnigk has never put his pen down. Over the last nine years, he has 【7】(画) more than 500 monsters. Some of them are lovely.  Some have sharp 【8】(牙齿) and look awful. Kuhnigk also 【9】(想像) a short story for each of his monsters. Many people like Kuhnigk's funny creations. They say the monsters and their stories always make them laugh.

So the next time you spill your coffee or something 【10】(别的), don't immediately clean it up. It's your chance to be an artist, too!
