24、   In many stories on TV and in science fiction, humans can travel to stars far away. But so far, people have only been able to get to the moon.

What if a person wants to get to a star far away? It would take a lifetime to travel. People should have to move at least at the speed(速度) of light. But in fact, nothing can move faster than light.

Light travels more than 186,000 miles a second(秒), or about 11 million miles a minute. In one year, light travels about 6 trillion (6,000,000,000,000) miles. That great distance is called a light-year (光年). It is used to measure(测量) distance in space.

Strange things happen to an object(物体) when it moves very fast. If an object moves at 86% of the speed of light, it will be twice as heavy as it is at rest. A stick appears shorter. A clock runs more slowly. A person would not age so fast in space as on the earth.

Alpha Centauri is the closest star to the sun. It is over four light-years away. So if a human traveled at the speed of light, it would take him nine years to go to Alpha Centauri and come back.

【1】About the speed of light, which of the following is true?

A.Light travels about 11 million miles a second. B.Light travels more than 186,000 miles a minute.

C.Light travels about 11 million miles an hour. D.Light travels about 6 trillion miles a year.

【2】So far the farthest place humans have got to is .

A.Alpha Centauri B.the sun C.the moon D.the earth

【3】The underlined word "age" means .

A.老年 B.变老 C.年龄 D.时代

【4】It would take a person to get to Alpha Centauri at the speed of light.

A.more than 4 years B.less than 2 years C.about 9 years D.about 11 years

【5】What's the best title(标题) of this article?

A.The Distance Between the Sun and Other Stars B.How to Travel to Alpha Centauri

C.Nothing Can Move Faster Than Light D.Life Is Too Short

25、

【1】If Jack and his parents book the travel package to celebrate Jack’s first year in the primary school on October 1st, they should pay _______.

B．$900

C．$1350

【2】Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Tourists will stay at least 2 nights in Penghu.

B．The travel package offers a good chance to get close to nature.

C．Tourists will have great fun experiencing the farm life on Oct. 6th.

26、Do you try to save electricity and magazines at home? Do you make your bed every day? Read about the home habits of Americans. Are they the same as yours?

判断正误，（正确的填A，错误的填B）

【1】The passage mainly talks about the home habits of Americans.

【2】80% of Americans go out in the evening with the lights on.

【3】One fifth of Americans keep magazines for years and years.

【4】Most Americans like to keep the rooms clean and tidy.

【5】The people who make the beds are as many as those who wash the dishes every day.

27、   We are told to travel the world, discover new things and meet new people. But there is one problem. Even paying for a bed for the night makes you feel as if broadening your minds requires plenty of money — and for students, that is not always possible.

The words “youth hostel” (青年旅舍) for your parents might mean smelly dormitories (寝室)with six strangers, or having to pay for messy towels, and dirty pillows. However, youth hostels nowadays — especially the ones in China — are wonderful.

In Chengdu, my friend and I were served free coffee and the people working there gave us suggestions of the best ways to visit the pandas and the best hotpot restaurants in Sichuan.

In Yangshuo, I made friends with a German and two Americans. We rented bikes from our hostel owner and rode around the city. When it rained, the hostel owner lent me his raincoat. One night the housekeeper cooked us a great meal of homemade Chinese dishes.

Never did I pay more than 50 yuan for a bed. Sometimes, even though I had booked a “dormitory”, I ended up in a private room by myself. Because these are “youth hostels”, you can meet lots of students like yourself, all of whom want to get the most out of a small budget (预算).

The best  two websites for  finding and  booking hostels are www.hostelbooker.com and www.hostelworld.com. Not only do they allow you to organize everything online, they also give each hostel a score depending on how the guests feel when they remain there.

Travel the world, discover new things, and meet new people — all for the price of a cup of coffee? Just choose the city and now you go!

【1】The story is possibly written for   .

A.parents B.students C.workers D.housekeepers

【2】The writer thinks all of the following are parents’ opinions about “youth hostel” EXCEPT

A.sharing a dormitory with six strangers

B.the towels are messy

C.the pillows are dirty

D.it serves free coffee

【3】The writer    in Yangshuo.

A.traveled with some Chinese friends

B.traveled around the city by bus

C.rented a raincoat from the hostel owner when it rained

D.enjoyed a great meal of Chinese dishes in the hostel

【4】The purpose of the article is    .

A.to share the writer’s life experiences in China

B.to tell the differences between dormitories and youth hostels

C.to advise readers to live in youth hostels with a small budget

D.to introduce two Chine cities

28、   If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but others need human connection and creativity. But are we under estimating（低估）what robots can do? In some cases, they already p 【1】 better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more c 【2】 sharing their private information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?

British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He p 【3】  robots will do most work of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain s 【4】. Then they will adapt（使…适应）the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever understand other people’s feelings and be able to really connect with humans like another human can.

One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. Teachers all over the world are l 【5】 . In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9 to 16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t suffer from stress, or get t 【6】 , or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.

Teaching is generally recognized as difficult and teachers feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots take the place of teachers?” but “How can robots help teachers?” Office workers can use software to do things like organize and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, i  【7】 more than 11  hours a  week marking homework. If robots could cut the time   teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

Several days ago, I was walking home from school and saw some writing on the fence of a house.
