24、Reading is an important activity for many Americans. Today, thousands of men, women and children are members of groups to discuss the books they read.

  No one knows how many Americans belong to reading groups called book clubs. Yet publishers(发行人) and bookshops report that more and more throughout the United States are joining the clubs.

Most of the clubs work the same way. Members read the same book at the same time. Then they meet to talk about the book. Members may be friends or people who live near each other. Or, they may be people who work together.

Book clubs may be for only women or only men. Or, they can be for husbands and wives together. Some are family groups where parents attend with their children. Children may belong to book clubs of their own.

Some book clubs in the United States are for husbands and wives. One woman says this is a great idea for a book club. She says husbands and wives often talk to each other only about their children, work, or money problems. "Talking about books," she says, "opens a whole new level of communication."

American children belong to book clubs, too. They may be as young as four years old or as old as eighteen. Some children's clubs get help from the Great Book Foundation (基金). This educational organization provides lists of books to read. It also trains people to lead discussions about the books.

25、Robbie and priscilla love traveling very much. They can travel often because they have a marketing company and can work anywhere online. But when they were traveling, they worried about their cat, Mr. beebles, who they had to leave at home. That’s why the couple decided to buy an old school bus and turn it into their dream home in 2017.

Like most DIY efforts, rebuilding the bus was difficult. They faced problems nearly every step along the way. Among them replacing the broken windows and dealing with serious engine problems were the most difficult for them. In fact, Robbie and Priscilla almost give up.

Finally, they made it. Though the home is small, it has everything you need to live a comfortable life—a full-sized kitchen, a bathroom with a shower and a bedroom. The bus also has an air conditioner, a fireplace(壁炉) and even solar panels(太阳能电池板) outside the bus to help them save money and energy.

As soon as the bus was finished, Robbie and Priscilla left their home in Florida on March 21, 2019, and left for the East coast. They were on the road for almost 10 months, and visited 137 different cities.

For the next step, they are planning to go on a 5 five-year road trip visiting every state of America.

【1】Robbie and Priscilla travel often because of ________.

A．their cat

B．their parents

26、Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have when you grow up? Many people think that we can have only one job in our lifetime. We all know that this is not true, but quite a few people actually think this way. For example, when people choose a major (专业) in college, they think that the decisions they make now will decide their jobs for the rest of their lives. However, there are many examples where people became successful after changing their careers (职业) later in life.

J. K. Rowling, writer of the famous novel Harry Potter, was actually a school teacher before she began writing books. In fact, she was out of work before the first Harry Potter book came out.

Former US President Ronald Reagan began as an actor when he was a young man. He later decided that he wanted to do political work. This kind of passion (激情) finally led him to become President of the United States.

The famous 19th century artist Vincent Van Gogh was not a painter from the beginning. He once worked as an art salesman and later became a preacher. It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist.

Careers are always open to change. The important thing is to find what you are really good at or what you really want to do. Once you find that passion, it’s all a matter of how hard you try.

【1】______ was a teacher before he (she) became famous.

A. Vincent Van Gogh B. Ronald Reagan

C. J. K. Rowling    D. Harry Potter

A. what major you choose in college

B. how much money you can make

C. changing jobs as often as possible

D. finding what you really want to do

【4】 How is the passage organized? (Par = Paragraph)

A. Par 1→Pars 2~4→Par 5

B. Pars 1~2→Par 3→Pars 4~5

C. Par 1→Pars 2~3→Pars 4~5

D. Pars 1~2→Pars 3~4→Par 5

27、I left my hometown in London last year and now I have enjoyed working in this small city in China. Learning a foreign language opens your eyes to the culture and history of a country. So in order to know more about China, I started to learn Chinese.

But at times, I found myself in funny situations. When I greeted strangers in China, they began to talk a lot and very fast. They asked me questions about everything. But all I could do was to look at them with a blank face. I had no idea what they were talking about. Were they just being kind, funny or impolite? Many people want to make friends with me. But I am a bit upset when I find out the reason why they need a foreign friend. They say they want to practice their English. I don’t need friends like this. I like friends to share my feelings and ideas with.

However, the more Chinese I learn, the more similarities I find it has with English. In English, “thick­skinned” is to describe a person who doesn’t care about criticism (批评). I was surprised to find that “houlianpi” in Chinese means the same. And both languages share some common idioms (习语). For example, “look on with folded arms” means “xiushoupangguan”， and “burn the boats” is similar to “pofuchenzhou”.

I’m still on my journey to Chinese learning. I believe that sometimes you have the most fun on a journey.

【1】The writer came to China in order to ________.

A．learn Chinese

B．study culture

C．work

【2】The underlined word “blank” means “________” in Chinese.

A．黑色的

B．空白的

C．不理解的

【3】Many Chinese want to make friends with the writer because ________.

A．they want to help the foreigner with his Chinese

B．they want a partner to practice English with

C．they want to share feelings and ideas with him

【4】If there would be a paragraph before the last paragraph of the passage, it most probably would be about ________.

A．the reasons why he wants to learn Chinese

B．the differences between Chinese and English

C．the importance of learning Chinese and English

28、阅读短文，根据上下文和所给出的首字母在1~5空格中写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形式；在填写答卷时，要求写出完整单词。（每空限填一词）

Night after night, my mom came to help me sleep, even long after my childhood years. I h【1】 it when her rough hands pushed my hair. Finally, one night, I shouted at her, “Don’t do that any more, your hands are too rough!” She didn’t say anything and left my room in s【2】, but she never did it again.

Now my own children have grown up. My 70-year-old mom’s rough hands are still doing things for my family as u【3】.
