24、To do great things, you must dream great dreams. But dreaming alone isn’t enough. You must believe in your dreams and take actions.

Do you want to be a dreamer? Dreamers build bridges between the known and the unknown. Before you turn your dreams into reality (现实), someone may think you’re a fool. Pay no attention to those who would kill your dream. And, feed your mind the mental (精神的) food it needs.

There was a farmer who had two dogs that raced every weekend. He took bets (打赌) and always won. One week he would bet on his black dog, and the black dog would win. The next week he would bet on the white dog, and the white dog would win. Why? One week he fed the dog he wanted to win with a good diet (日常饮食), and just gave the other dog enough to live. The dog that was well fed was strong and would always win the race.

Your mind is the same way. It grows stronger or weaker with what you feed it. The diet of the mind is what gives you the confidence, courage and knowledge you need so that you can succeed in your dreams.

Have you been waiting for right time to reach your dreams? Have you been waiting for the right chance to reach your dreams? Now is the right time. Chances will appear when you take actions. So what are you really for?

【1】What did the farmer do to make sure that he could always win?

B．He offered the dog that he wanted to win a good diet and the other enough food to live.

C．He made the dog that he wanted to win exercise a lot and become stronger than the other.

D．He made the dog that he wanted to win take a better rest than the other.

【2】Why does the writer use the story of the farmer?

B．To support his idea.

C．To make the passage more interesting.

D．To catch the readers’ interest.

【3】What’s the mental food that your mind needs according to the writer?

A．Enough sleep, water, and food.

B．A natural diet that keeps us healthy.

C．Books and magazines that we can learn knowledge from.

D．Everything that gives us the confidence, courage and knowledge.

C．If we keep waiting, the chance will come to us one day.

25、The Search-for-Lost-Birds list has come to public attention recently. It lists ten kinds of birds that have not been seen in the wild for at least fifteen years. The list is calling on (号召) people to search for the endangered birds on Earth.

There could be several reasons for the long disappearances of the birds on the list. Maybe there have been no studies in areas where they live. Maybe people don’t know where or how to find them. Maybe there are changes to their natural homes because of human activities.

This year, four expeditions (考察队) are planning to find eight kinds of birds. If they find any of these lost birds, they will try their best to protect them and help their populations grow. This has happened with birds like the Madagascar pochard. The number of this once-lost kind of bird is now increasing.

【1】How many kinds of birds are on the Search-for-Lost-Birds list?

A．Four.

B．Eight.

C．Ten.

D．Fifteen.

B．Suggestions on how to protect the birds.

C．Reasons for the disappearances of the birds.

D．Steps of building natural homes for the birds.

A．It has not been found till now.

B．It needs to live close to humans.

C．It provides protection for other birds.

D．It has a larger population than before.

26、When students and parents are asked to grade subjects according to their importance, the arts are usually at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is only viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is very important for all students.

Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it shows their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity（身份，特性）as a society.

Music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts can express the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same thing. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language through which we express our fears, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.

Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the value of peace and love.

So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A.Students regard music as a way of entertainment.

B.Students disagree with their parents on education.

C.Students take music as an important subject.

D.Students prefer the arts to science.

【2】In Paragraph 2, the writer uses jazz as an example to____________.

A.compare it with rock music

B.show music identifies a society

【3】According to the passage, the arts and science____________.   .

A.explain the world in different ways

B.explain different facts of the world

C.express people’s feelings in different ways

D.explain what it means to be human differently

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Music education is worth more attention.

B.Music should be of top education priority.

C.Music is really a good communication tool.

D.Music education makes students more imaginative.

27、The power of keeping a diary From Anne Frank to Samuel Pepys, diaries have given us a window into some of the most important moments in our history. Now, as the world is disturbed by coronavirus, experts are asking more of us to put pen to paper to chronicle（按时间顺序记录）these life-changing times.

Michael Ward, a Senior Lecturer in Social Science for Swansea University, started CoronaDiaries. 164 participants, aged from 11 to 84, submitted entries（作品）of their experiences of the pandemic. Michael says: “Some of the documents have made me cry, especially those from already seriously ill people, but others have made me laugh and have been a jog to read.”

Michael adds that these diaries also address the important changes that COVID-19 continues to create. “They could help people better prepare for future problems. When the pandemic first hit, may historians, and even scientists turned to the diaries kept by people living through the 1918 influenza pandemic. These diaries help them understand how previous generations survived such changes and what challenges might still be to come. ”

As well as capturing the past, the real beauty of a diary is that it recounts（叙述）honestly and openly how we feel at a given moment. It can give the most intimate, lived experience of how the pandemic has affected our lives, our minds and our moods.

All the more reason then to grab a pen, scribble the date and get writing. Dear diary…

Make the most of your diary

Whether you have never kept a diary before or jot your thoughts down every night, here’s some top tips to get the very best out of a diary—writing habit:

Start small

You don’t have to spend hours on a diary. Start with a sentence a day and go from there. Or set a timer and write for just 30 minutes every Sunday summing up the week.

Use your senses

When you’re describing an event or memory, think about what you could see, hear, taste, smell and feel. Including lots of detail will really help you relive the moment

Think off the page

If a conventional written diary doesn’t work for you, pen and paper isn’t the only option. You could record or film yourself talking about your day. Or if you’re online, you could write a diary on a free online blog with the potential to share this with family and friends.

【1】What can we know about CoronaDiaries?

A．It records how people survived the 1918 influenza pandemic.

B．It was started by some seriously ill people who were fighting against COVID﹣19.

C．It mainly attracts young people to submit their stories from the pandemic.

D．The documents from CoronaDiaries include both sad and pleasant stories.

【2】Which of the flowing statements is true about how to write a diary?

A．You need to prepare a pen and paper to start a diary.

B．You should set a topic for what you want to write every day.

C．You should spend a certain period of time every day writing in your diary.

D．It is better for you to describe in more detail the things you have experienced.

【3】The aim of the passage is to .

A．encourage us to keep a diary

B．discuss the importance of diaries

C．teach us different ways to write a diary

D．introduce the benefits of a diary—writing habit

28、   In modern-day society having a smartphone is considered normal, even essential. Most teens can’t imagine living without a mobile, yet I still don’t own one. Why? Because my mother does not consider it n【1】. This may seem unreasonable to many, but sometimes I agree with her. Of course, I experience the downside often enough. I feel a bit left out, when everybody in class talks about a post they saw the other day. Very often I feel embarrassed when I must e【2】 why I can’t be part of online groups.

During lessons our teachers like working with mobile phones. I do have a Nokia phone though, and I phone my father who works a【3】 nearly every day. I’ve grown up without constantly messaging someone or posting something and sometimes even going weeks without a mobile! I do feel angry that people are always telling me they have p【4】 on me because I don’t own one.

Being an outsider in this world of technology, I sometimes feel I’m the only one that notices the c【5】 in people when they get a smartphone. I’ve been to many birthday parties where everyone spends more time on their phone than talking to one another and I’ve seen my friends completely stuck in their online world. It makes me sad that so many people lose themselves in a world that doesn’t e【6】 and ignore the people around them.

I enjoy the freedom I get from not being available all day long and I feel able to spend most of my free time reading or doing s【7】 interesting. Maybe one day I will get a smartphone, but I am not going to be unhappy because I don’t own one. So trust me, when people say that it’s better to have a smartphone, they’re wrong!

29、   “I don’t like my parents. They always _________ me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry.” said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the _________ problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it _________that some parents are not so friendly in their children’s eyes?

One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born. They worry about your _________ of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are _________ of your life. They want you to grow up _________ and happily.

So how can you _________ things easier on yourself? Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility (责任) for what you have done. Talk about your _________ with them. They may talk about theirs with you.

Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still _________ being parents and need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to __________ your children.
