One Sunday morning, Jenny walked into Mrs Windsor's music room and sat down on the piano bench as usual.

25、Milk is a favourite drink of people all around the world. Not only is it a popular drink, it is also used as an ingredient in cakes, puddings, sauces, and many other foods. Milk is very important for your health, but it takes many steps to bring milk from the farm to your table at home. Where does milk come from?

Goats, camels, all lamas（美洲驼）produce milk that people drink. So do reindeer, sheep, and water buffalo. The type of milk you drink depends on where in the world you live. Most people drink milk that comes from special cows called dairy cattle. Most dairy cattle are black and white and they are raised in very sanitary（卫生的）conditions. People used to squeeze milk from cows by hand, but now milking machines are used. After milk leaves the cow, it has to be kept clean and cool, or else dangerous bacteria will grow quickly.

Milk goes through many stages before you can drink it. First, it is put in a large tank where many tests are done. Next, it is cleaned in order to remove any dust, hair, or dirt that is found.

The milk production goes through five more important steps. First, milk is divided for different uses. Milk will become either regular milk, cream, butter, or other dairy products. Milk is then heated to a very high temperature to kill any bacteria. This process, called pasteurization, is named for Pasteur, the doctor who invented it.

Next, any fat that may be in the milk is broken up evenly. This prevents the fat from rising to the top. In the fourth step, important nutrients, such as vitamins and proteins, are added to the milk.

Drinking milk is important for the good health of adults and children. Milk helps your body grow and develop and gives you energy. Drinking milk also helps prevent certain diseases. Important vitamins and minerals in milk make your bones stronger. Do you drink enough milk?

26、   Sherlock Holmes, the world’s greatest detective(侦探), is not a real person.

He is a character from Writer Conan Doyle’s books. Since he created Holmes in 1887, he has been taking us on adventures, one after another.

In the books, Holmes is thin and tall. He often wears a cap and long coat. He thinks and speaks very fast. He smokes and plays the violin. He is good at watching and analyzing (分析) things. He also knows a lot about chemistry.

But Holmes is lonely and unhappy. He is arrogant and often speaks to others impolitely. It seems that no one likes him except Watson. They are close friends and good partners. They trust each other and help each other out of danger.

People look to Sherlock for both adventure and logical(逻辑)thinking. Each adventure shows us an exciting journey. In the journey, we join him and become detectives too, looking out for truth.

Yet Holmes is no Superman. He can’t fly or have super power. But his powers are within of us: reason and logical thinking. While an artist’s painting is his art, Sherlock’s art is his cleverness. He is human, and this is what makes Holmes a true hero for all of us.

【1】What kind of instrument can Sherlock play?

A.piano B.guitar C.violin D.chess

B.they can join him to look for truth.

C.they admire his great powers like Superman.

D.they love his great cleverness.

27、Your college years, the one time in your life can you truly enjoy the art of staying up late. Others may be fooled into thinking that your sleepless nights are the result of hard study, but we know the real reason why you’re burning the midnight oil.

Does this sound familiar（熟悉）? Every evening, after returning to your dorm（宿舍）, you sit checking your smartphone for a few minutes, which quickly turns into a few hours. When you do finally get round to looking at your homework, you can only manage to write a few words before you become bored.

To stop from falling asleep, you decide to play a video game just a few rounds, to put new energy in your mind so you can start working again. But the next time you check the clock, it’s already the few hours of the morning.

That’s when you realize there’s no time left to procrastinate. So you take a hold of your pen and get to work, on the one hand regretting the lack（缺乏）of time you have to complete your task, while also accepting praises from your roommates for studying so hard.

You tell yourself you stay up late because you are a hard worker. In fact you’re fooling yourself.

In the dark of night, only a few light spots（光点）can be seen in your almost-empty office. Now and then, the silence is broken by the keyboard taps（击声）. Although you work overtime every day, you still haven’t managed to reach the goals you set for yourself.

But why should this be? You’re careful not to get distracted（分神）by your phone, and seldom sit around daydreaming. Still, you’ve hardly anything to show for all the extra（额外的）time you spend in the office. So you hold your head in your hands and cry out: where did the time go?   

You might feel busy every day, but in truth you’re finishing little.

All your time is spent imagining a great future, without ever actually doing what’s needed to make that dream a reality.

In your mind, you work harder than anyone else, but your results show this to be a lie.

So please, have a rethink. Let’s stop it with the lying. Are you really trying hard, or are you hardly trying?

【1】Which of the following would be the best title?

A．Are you really trying hard?

B．Are you hardly trying?

C．Where did the time go?

D．Are you really still at work?

【2】The word “procrastinate” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.

A．think again

B．put off

C．study hard

D．stay up

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．We should work harder than others.

B．We should stay up late to work better.

C．We should put our whole heart into work.

D．We should spend time imagining a great future.
