24、Imagine a world where air pollution is no longer a problem. Clean air is all around us. People don’t have to worry about polluting the air every time they take the bus.

A city in California has got some new buses. They cost $490,000 each. The new buses are different from the old ones. These new buses are better for the environment. They are called hybrid buses. They run on diesel (柴油的) and electric power. This will help keep the air cleaner.

The man drove the new bus on Wednesday and noticed a difference right away. “I get to have clean air for a change”, said driver Melvin Day. “I’m smelling diesel all day long when I drive the old ones.”

The company that builds the buses had many good things to say about them. For example, they said they use a lot less fuel (燃料). They also said that they are 90% cleaner for the environment. The buses are very quiet, too.

The buses have a diesel engine in the back and batteries (电池) on top. When the engine starts up, it is powered by electricity. Then the diesel power takes over.

Over time the city would like to use the new hybrid buses instead of all 50 of their buses. They hope to do this over the next three years. The city will give money to help buy the new kind of buses.

One other bit of good news: the price of the bus ticket will not rise because of the new buses.

【1】Why are the new buses better for the environment?

A. Because they’re cheaper than the old ones.

B. Because they’re very quiet.

C. Because they run on diesel and electric power.

D. Because they are new.

【2】The underlined word “hybrid” in Paragraph 2 means ______ in Chinese.

A. 混合动力的 B. 前卫的 C. 新颖的 D. 节约的

【3】Which one is NOT true about the new buses?

A. The buses are very quiet.

B. They use a lot less fuel.

C. They will keep the air cleaner.

D. They can drive faster than the old ones.

【4】How many buses does the city have now?

A. 50 B. 90 C. 45 D. 490

25、   People all have problems. If we don’t deal with these problems, we can easily become unhappy. Worrying about our problems can influence how we do at school. It can also influence the way we behave with our families. So how do we deal with our problems? There are many ways, and here is one of them.

Most of us have probably been angry with our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn’t like, or you felt they were unfair. Sometimes people can stay angry for years, about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendship may be lost.

When we are angry, however, we are usually the ones influenced. Perhaps we have seen young children playing together. Sometimes they have disagreements, and decide not to talk to each other. However, this usually does not last for long, because they usually forget it quickly.

根据上述内容，判断下列句子正误，正确的在括号内填“T”，错误的在括号内填“F”。

【1】The main idea of the passage is how to deal with our problems.

【2】Worrying about our problems can’t influence how we do.

【3】Children don’t talk to each other probably because they disagree with each other.

【4】We aren’t influenced when we are angry.

【5】From the text we know an important lesson for us is learning to forget.

26、Each year, the famous Oxford Dictionaries chooses its Word of the Year. The word is carefully chosen depending on how popular it is and how well it explains the year. However, this year they didn’t actually choose a word at all. Instead, they chose a “face with tears（眼泪） of joy” emoji (表情符号).

This was the world’s most used emoji in 2015, according to research done by the Oxford University Press. It made up 20 percent of all emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the US.

Emojis started from Japan in the 1990s. Through the years, the simple, small pictures have changed the way people communicate online. According to New Yorker magazine, a survey in 2013 showed that 74 percent of people in the US and 82 percent in China had used emojis. About 6, 000,000,000 emoji pictures are flying around the world every day through messages. Although some worry that emojis will make people’s language skills weak, fans say they are fun and help them express their feelings more easily.

“Emojis are no longer just for sending messages to teenagers. Instead, they have become a kind of expression, which can cross language barriers (障碍),” Oxford Dictionaries said in a statement, explaining their uncommon choice. “Emoji culture has become so popular that emojis have their own way and stories.”

Some even think emojis can take the place of words. Fred Benenson, an American data (数据) engineer, translated American novel Moby Dick into Emoji Dick. The book has even been kept by the US Library of Congress (美国国会图书馆).

【1】The Word of the Year for 2015 is ________.

A. a common word   B. a sad face

C. a boy’s name   D. a happy face with tears

【2】 According to the passage, we know ____________.

A. Emojis started from the UK in the last century

B. A large number of Emoji pictures are used around the world

C. Learning Emojis is the best way to improve people’s language skills

D. Emojis has become the main ways to communicate online instead of words

【3】The novel Moby Dick is mentioned in the last paragraph to show ________.

A. how popular and useful the Emojis are

B. words will become more important

C. Moby Dick is popular around the world

D. Emoji Dick is considered meaningless

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

A. The History of Emojis

B. How to Express Our Feelings

C. An Introduction to Oxford Dictionaries

D. A Popular Kind of Expression—Emojis

27、 “If you consider getting older with needing less sleep, it’s not true!” says Robert Oexman, D．C．, director of the Sleep to Live Institute．Besides disease, medicine and pain, if parents complain of bad sleep, Dr．Oexman looks at their nighttime habits, where the problem almost always exists．So, how are you destroying your sleep?

 Watch TV until you fall asleep

It has nothing to do with what you watch．It’s you who face TV’s bright light．That’s the reason．So even if you nod off in front of the TV, for example, you probably won’t stay asleep for long．

So an hour before bedtime, treat yourself like a baby: a warm bath．But no reading or writing on your computer before bed or in the middle of the night．

 Exercise too close to bedtime

Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever, never really feeling rested? Well, heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect--it raises your body temperature, so when you lay your sleepy head on the pillow, your body temperature is normal．

 Eat fatty, heavy foods too close to bedtime

If you’ve ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal, you’ve probably found the discomfort of stomach acids（胃酸）less than good for falling asleep or staying asleep．

So try to eat your last meal of the day at least 2-3 hours before bedtime．Should you feel hungry before bed? So have a bowl of cereal or a small boiled potato．Or maybe have a serving of jasmine rice．

28、根据下面短文内容及部分首字母提示，在短文的空格处填上一个最恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。请将完整的单词填写在答题卡上对应的位置。

We all know that not all communication is through languages, but did you know that the 【1】 body language can mean something completely different because of culture? From what you do with your eyes or hands between speakers, there are large differences in how people from different countries use their 【2】 to communicate. Let’s take a look at some examples.

Eye contact (接触)

Prolonged (持久的) eye contact is a sign of confidence in most Western countries. 【3】, in many African, Asian and Latin American countries, unbroken eye contact can be seen as impolite. But in the Middle East, eye contact lasts longer only b【4】 people of the same sex (性别).

Physical contact

“Rules” on physical contact usually differ depending on age, sex, profession and so on. But in general, people from high contact cultures such as Southern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East like to stand 【5】 when speaking and like to touch often. Those from low contact cultures, such as the Far East, stand farther apart and usually a【6】 physical contact.

Hand gestures (手势)

Hand gestures are also different from country to country. Using the “OK” sign is not OK in Brazil, Greece, Spain or Turkey. And if you want to tell 【7】 he did a good job in Greece or the Middle East, you can’t do as we do in China. And in most of Asia, curling (弯曲) your index finger (食指) to ask someone to come is fine for dogs, but not for people—especially in the Philippines, where you could be p【8】 under the law.
