24、

Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year. Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered or coal-powered stoves.

One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the "Sol-4". "It is four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker."

The "Sol-4" works by reflecting(反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct(把……对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy.

Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.

The cooker is also much "friendlier" than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke．

At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.

Each cooker costs about $2000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a non-governmental organization called solar Cookers for Africa. It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.

【1】This passage is mainly about ________.

A.solar cookers B.smoke pollution C.solar power experts D.breathing illnesses

【2】The "Sol-4" is mainly used to ________.

A.shorten the time of cooking

B.reduce the cost of making cookers

C.raise money through donations to help African people

D.reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke

【3】The underlined word "individuals" most probably means "________".

A.cookers B.mirrors C.people D.experts

【4】From the passage, we can infer that ________.

A.the "Sol-4" will be designed in a smaller size

B.more Africans can use the solar cookers in the future

C.the "Sol-4" is the first product of the South African company

D.the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers

25、   Many ordinary people ranging from volunteers to media workers have dedicated (奉献) themselves to fighting the novel coronavirus. They prove that ordinary people can still do their part during difficult times.

On Feb 12, Dalian (not his real name) was taking a train to Changsha, Hunan, for a business trip. While on the train, he went into a carriage (车厢) to have lunch and chose to remain in the carriage. He did not realize that the carriage was only for people heading to Wuhan.

Several hours later, when the train arrived in Wuhan, Dalian was asked to get off, as he was in the  special carriage. Although he was surprised, he didn’t want to cause trouble and got off the carriage with just a single bag.

As Wuhan had been locked down because of the epidemic（流行病）, Dalian couldn’t find a hotel to stay in. Feeling at a loss, he saw a notice online looking for volunteers to work in hospitals. The payment was 500 yuan a day. Dalian decided to give it a try. He soon became a volunteer at Wuhan No. 1 Hospital. He was responsible for taking out trash, mopping (拖) the floor, disinfecting (消毒) the hospital, dealing with used protective suits and bringing meals to patients.

The young man, reportedly from northeast China, had to work 12 hours every day, changing his protective suit three times a day. While working, he couldn’t drink anything or go to the bathroom. He also had to have close contact with infected patients, which is risky.

Dalian was afraid of getting infected at first. “When I entered the wards ( 病 房 ), I was kind of frozen and felt like I couldn’t move,” he said. But after seeing more patients get better, his fear gradually went away.

Dalian’s story has since gone viral (走红的) online. People were surprised by his experience, but also described him as having “a heart of gold”.

【1】From the passage, we can see that Dalian is _______ in Wuhan No.1 Hospital.

A.coward B.deaf C.viral D.hard-working

【2】Why did Dalian have to get off in Wuhan?

A.Because he went there for a business trip.

B.Because he was in the wrong carriage.

C.Because he chose to have lunch in Wuhan.

D.Because he bought the wrong train ticket.

【3】What made Dalian decide to work at a hospital?

A.He had volunteer experience.

B.He ran out of money.

C.He wanted to become a doctor.

D.He had nowhere to go.

【4】Dalian’s job doesn’t include ________.

A.taking out trash and mopping the floor

B.disinfecting others’ protective suits

C.dealing with used protective suits

D.bringing meals to patients

【5】Which is probably the best title of this passage?

26、To me, the concept(概念) of home changes along with my age all the time.

In my childhood, home was a number of calls. It seems that I had more free time than today’s children. I didn’t have to show up in front of my parents right after school, instead I would go to play with my classmates who lived in the neighborhood. We played like mad until dinner was ready and our parents called “Come back! Come home for supper!” Days passed by as I grew up in the company of those calls which are still echoing(回响) in my ears even now.

In a short while, my childhood was gone. When a thin layer of hair(胡须) began to grow around the corners of my mouth, home became a place I tried to run away from.

As I read more and more, my world opened up, larger than before me. The bed I used to sleep in became too small, and words of care from my parents began to sound meaningless. How I wished I could have a space of my own someday! Later I was joined the army and put on the green uniform. During my service days, home was the series of letters I received one after another. My most homesick moments were when I read those letters from my family.

When I got a job, I began to get “hurt”, to rise and fall in a sea of people, and to understand that you can’t share all your pains with other people, even with your best friends. So again, another wave of homesickness came over me. When I was badly hurt, I imagined myself flying home on wings. Pushing open the door, I let tears flow down my face. At that moment I felt that as large as the world was, what I needed was only the familiar smell of home and the unchanged view outside the window of my old house…

……

Although I already have much life experience behind me, I know there is still a long way ahead and my concept of home will go on developing. But already I have come to see that home is where we can find the true meaning of all the busy rush life. What makes the concept different is that sometimes it refers to a person’s home and sometimes to the home of many, many people.

【1】What does the underlined word “company” mean in Chinese in Paragraph 2?

A. 公司 B. 陪伴 C. 友情 D. 氛围

【2】From the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. He misses his life in his childhood.

B. He lives a happy life when he studies at school.

C. He enjoys himself during his service days in the army.

D. He can share his feelings--happiness and sadness-- with his buddies.

【3】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Missing my parents and home

B. His home he tries to run away from

C. A changing concept of home

D. A developing home

27、   The Earth is faced with a serious power problem now and all of us are affected by it. Should we leave everything to the government, or can we do something to save power? The answer is clear: if not us, who? Let us look at how you can save power at home.

Computer: More often than not, we do not turn off our monitors (显示屏) even after we have shut down our computers. And we often leave our computers on when we walk away to do something else. Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are not using them. Start doing this even when at work. You will help save some of the earth’s important power.

Air Conditioning: Put the temperature at the minimum or maximum strongest that you are comfortable with, depending on the season. Try not to put it at too-high or too-low temperatures. This helps you save lots of power.

Washers: Do you use your washing machine as frequently as you wish? Do you use your washing machine even when there are not many clothes to wash? Reduce the times of washing by cleaning plenty of clothes every time.

Television: Unplug (拔出插头) the power plug of your television set when not using it. This may not sound like a big deal but this little step will help oneself save power.

Fridge: Do you always put hot food into the fridge? Bring cooked food to room temperatures before placing it into the fridge. You can also spare power by bringing cold or frozen food out of the icebox a great deal ahead of the mealtime. Thus, you don’t need to heat it.

28、   Once upon a time, some children 【1】(fish) at seaside when they caught a turtle. They beat it with stones. Just at that time, a young man came up and 【2】(drive)them away. The turtle was very thankful and said, "Thanks for your kindness. I would like 【3】(invite) you to a fantastic place."

The young man rode on the turtle's back and was taken to a secret place in the sea. When they reached the place, he was amazed at the sightseeing, "what a nice palace!" To thank him, the king of the turtles gave him a very big dinner 【4】(eat). He hadn't eaten so much delicious food before. He was pleased with everything.

After the dinner, the king said, "I'm going to give you two boxes, but you mustn't open both. Do remember it!" The young man promised that he 【5】(open) only one. Just then, a large wave sent him out of the sea.

After 【6】(go)back home , he opened the bigger box. To his surprise, the box was full of gold shining brightly. "My God! I am rich now!" Then he thought, "There 【7】(be) something more expensive in the other box." He broke his promise and opened it. Suddenly he became an old man who was over 80 years old.

He was so sorry for what he did, but it was too late.
