24、It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

Education is well-rounded. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. And it is mainly for improving a man, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

【1】People with little education usually   .

A. spend a long time in school

B. have a good chance to get a job

C. spend the best years to choose jobs

D. have fewer chances to get a good job

【2】The earliest education was probably to   .

A. make people take an interest in the world

B. teach a man to watch plays

C. make people get a way of living

D. teach people to read good books

【3】The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “   “in Chinese.

A. 圆满的   B. 崭新的

C．公平的   D. 全面的

【4】The passage tells us that   .

A. education is mainly to make a man improve

B. people can get education in a short time

C. making a good living is the only reason for education

D. all subjects are so important for a way of living

25、Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites(卫星) to find the user’s position (位置). It can find your position within(不出某段距离) 20 meters. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.

GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put it in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.

There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting(环绕) the Earth.

The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.

Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.

【1】According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people _______.

A．can’t be lost in a new city

B．can’t find their way in different countries

C．can learn about the culture of an unknown place

D．can spend the least time getting to

【2】The underlined word “They” in paragraph3 means “_______”.

A．ground stations.

B．GPS devices

C．satellites

D．receivers

【3】The passage is mainly about _______.

A．the history of the GPS

B．the introduction of the GPS

C．the shape of the GPS

D．the three parts of the GPS

【4】What can we infer(推测) from the passage?

A．All GPS devices have electronic maps.

B．People in many countries will use the GPS for free.

C．The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites.

D．The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.

26、   It is well known that twins are closer to each other than most brothers and sisters; after all, they probably spend more time with each other. In Britain there was the famous case of the silent twins, June and Jennifer Gibbons, who refused to talk to anyone but each other.

However, these special relationships are the result of lives spent almost completely in each other’s company. What happens when twins do not grow up together? Are they just like any other strangers, or are there still special similarities between them? Professor Tom Bouchard who works in the University of Minnesota set out to find the answer to this question. He followed sixteen pairs of twins, who lived in different families. Each twin was then interviewed about their life.

The results were surprising. Many of the twins were found to have the same hobbies or habits, and some have suffered the same illnesses. A large number of the twins have had children at almost the same times; sometimes they have even given them the same names. But the most surprising similarities are to be found in the case of Jim Springer and Jim Lewis. The story of the “Jim Twins” made headline news across USA, and they even appeared on national television. Born in 1939, and brought up by different families at birth, both babies were named Jim by their new parents.

So what can be the explanation for these similarities? Research into the lives of twins makes us believe our personalities may be at least partly due to nature. On the other hand, some surprising coincidences（巧合） do happen all the time, not just in the lives of twins.

【1】What did Professor Tom Bouchard want to find out?

A.How many kinds of similarities are there in the twins?

B.What makes the twins have similar hobbies or habits?

C.Do the twins influence each other when they are young?

D.Are the twins alike if they are brought up in different families?

【2】What can be learned about Jim Twins?

A.They got married nearly at the same age.

B.Their story even appeared on TV in the USA.

C.They had children almost at the same time.

D.They refused to talk to others but each other.

【3】What does the author want to tell us by writing the last paragraph?

A.Surprising stories between twins brought up in different families.

B.Some examples of similarities in twins brought up in different families.

C.The interesting relationship between twins brought up in different families.

D.The possible reason for the similarities in twins brought up in different families.

27、   I Remember, I Remember

by Thomas Hood

I remember, I remember,

The house where I was born,

The little window where the sun

Came peeping (偷窥) in at morn;

He never came a wink (眨眼) too soon,

Nor brought too long a day,

But now, I often wish the night

Had borne my breath away (夺走)!

I remember, I remember,

The roses, red and white,

The violets, and the lily-cups,

Those flowers made of light!

The lilacs where the robin (知更鸟) built,

And where my brother set

The laburnum on his birthday,

The tree is living yet!

I remember, I remember,

Where I was used to ________,

And thought the air must rush as fresh

To swallows (燕子) on the wing;

My spirit flew in feathers (羽毛) then,

That is so heavy now,

And summer pools could hardly cool

The fever on my brow (眉毛)!

I remember, I remember,

The fir trees dark and high;

I used to think their slender (细长) tops

Were close against the sky:

It was a childish ignorance (无知),

But now this is little joy

To know I'm farther off from heaven

Than when I was a boy.
