24、I know how hard it is to make friends in a new school. I once joined the football team and the music club in my school of Toronto. I was very popular at that time and made a lot of friends. It made me very happy and my school life was very great.

Everything became different when I was 16 years old, because my parents decided to move to Florida. Who can quickly adapt to (适应) a completely strange environment? So changing to a new school was not easy for me. At the beginning, days in the new school were much more different than I thought. The class schedule (时间表) was different, and the teachers and students were strange and fresh to me. Some kids tried to be nice to me, but I was afraid to have a talk with them.

After staying in the new school for a few weeks, I realized that no one tried to communicate with me anymore, so I began to feel lonely. Two months later we had a course that required teamwork. Then, all the students came to study and even tried to help each other. I realized that they were hard-working and friendly just like me. I began to make friends with them. Several years later, we still keep in touch with each other and they have become a great treasure to me.

Sometimes, if we can’t change the environment around us, change ourselves in time. And try to get used to the life in different places.

25、   Pencil: You know. I’m really sorry.

Eraser: For what? You didn’t do anything wrong.

Eraser: That’s true, but I don’t really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though, one of these days, I know I’ll be gone and you have to replace me with a new one. I’m actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.

26、   Everyone knows the strange feeling of your fingers wrinkling up (起皱) when they’re wet. Sometimes when in water, it seems as if your hands have aged 30 years in a second. But is this an accident? Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies?

Scientists at the University of Newcastle in the UK recently did a test. They asked people to pick up things (some wet and some dry). And take them from one place to another. Some people did this with dry hands, while others had to leave their hands in water for 30 minutes first so that their skin was wrinkled. The study found the second group with wet hands had an advantage when carrying things that were also wet.

The scientist Tom Smulders said that “this wrinkling of our fingers in wet conditions could have helped with gathering food from wet vegetation or streams. Wrinkling happens when blood vessels contract (血管收缩) and pull the skin back.

A long time ago, humans lived a very difficult life in a brutal world, where the smallest advantage could make a huge difference. Having wrinkled skin might have helped people catch fish. This would help them get through the winter. These humans would then have had an advantage. Their genes would be accepted by natural selection.

A.people can carry dry things more easily than wet ones

B.people can carry wet things more easily than dry ones

A.is something nature has built into our bodies

B.does great harm to our health

C.has great advantages for people in wet conditions

D.happens when there is something wrong with blood vessels

【3】From the last paragraph, we learn that _ .

A.having wrinkled skin helped people keep warm in winter

B.humans lived on fish a long time ago

C.humans with wrinkled skin had an advantage over those without wrinkled skin

D.humans with wrinkled skin lived longer than those without wrinkled skin

【4】The underlined word “brutal” in paragraph 4 means __ in this passage.

A.beautiful B.hard C.peaceful D.harmful

【5】The article mainly talks about _ _  .

A.the advantages of the wrinkling of our fingers

B.the reasons for wrinkling of our fingers

C.some physical changes of people through history

D.problems of people with wrinkled skin

27、请阅读下面短文, 根据语篇内容, 从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳 选项, 使短文意思通顺, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。

In our life, there are always some people complaining (抱怨) they are too old to do something. But we should know that it’s never too late to start to do whatever you want to do in life.

Your future is like a piece of clean paper. You think you’ve lived a 10/100 life so far. 【1】 In fact, it is not a fact but a decision. Whatever you want to improve, you can start to do it. It could take a lot of time, but it’s worth it. Then you can have a completely different opinion. 【2】 These people have basically (基本上) agreed the fact that things will always be better if they work harder. 【3】 Changing your small habits and being with the changes are the keys to growing as a person and getting to where you want to go. I don’t know you. 【4】 But I know that whatever your goals are, you can take the first step towards them if you want to.

I’ve always believed there are two kinds of person-the person they are now, and the person they could become if they work hard with what they have. 【5】 And in the end, you will find that you have far more potential (潜力) than you actually think.

A．I don’t know your goals.

B．That’s what changes your habits.

C．How do you achieve your dream?

D．I see so many people work harder instead of giving up.

E．So imagine the best you can achieve with what you have.

F．But you can put 100/100 effort in going forward and see a huge difference.

28、people all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in your good and bad times. You’ve made friends since childhood, but you still don’t know who your true friends are【1】 .

Always honest

Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive【2】   It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.

Always there for you

There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. 【3】 It may not be able to solve your problems but the fact that your friend makes time to listen is a sign that he cares about you. Your friend is not a true friend if he can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to accept that your friend also has other things to do so he can’t always listen to your problem at once.

Always respectful(尊重人的)

A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he or she agrees or not【4】 .

Always understanding

【5】 A true friend will always be understanding and forgiving(谅解的). Even if it isn’t his or her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always understanding and forgiving because he or she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his or her best friend.
