24、
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 periods. Winter Solstice(冬至), the 22nd period of the year, begins this year on Dec 22 and ends on Jan 4.
On the first day of Winter Solstice, the sun shines directly at the Tropic of Capricorn(南回归线). As a result, the northern part of the world experiences the shortest day and the longest night in the year. From then on, the days become longer and the nights become shorter. The Winter Solstice also marks the arrival of the coldest season in the year. Here are three things you should know about Winter Solstice.
The Winter Solstice Festival
There was a saying that went in ancient China, “The Winter Solstice is as important as the Spring Festival.” As early as Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256BC), people honored the gods on the first day of the Winter Solstice, which was also the first day of the new year. The Winter Solstice became a winter festival during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220AD).
Eating dumplings
During Winter Solstice in North China, eating dumplings is necessary for almost everyone. There is a saying that goes “Have dumplings on the first day of Winter Solstice and noodles on the first day of Summer Solstice.”
Eating rice cakes
During the Winter Solstice, people in Hangzhou traditionally eat rice cakes. In the past, people used to make rice cakes themselves to honor ancestors there. Today, though few families have home-made cakes, people there still buy rice cakes for the Winter Solstice Festival.
【1】Why does the northern world enjoy the shortest day on Dec 22 this year?

25、Why do you study? Many students would simply reply: "To get good result in the college entrance examination (高考)." For several years, many have spoken out against the exams. Some say they have turned children into studying machines. Others think that one exam cannot possibly demonstrate a student's true level of knowledge. So, should the exams be canceled?
Minister of Education Yuan Guiren doesn't think so. "Officials and the rich might take advantage(受益) if the college entrance examination were called off(取消). And life would be more difficult for poor children. However, we do need to change the exams," Yuan said on March 7. He has put an exam reforms at the center of his fourth year in office. "I think the exam is a fair way to choose talented people. But it should pay more attention to all-around(全面的) personal qualities, not just grades," said Cui Shangyu, a Senior 3 student in Sichuan. The college entrance examination was restored(恢复) in 1977. From then to 2007, 46.85 million people have entered higher education through the exam. According to survey by the Ministry of Education, 90 percent of people who participate(参加) believed the college entrance examination could in some way change a person's life, especially for poor students in the countryside. The college entrance examination is not the only way to become a successful person. However, the process of preparing for the exam is a good experience, said Shen Hui, a Math teacher at Gaoyou Middle School in Jiangsu.
"Through it students can learn many things, such as how to deal with stress(压力) and how to arrange a learning plan." Shen said.
【1】What does “demonstrate” mean in the first paragraph?
A. 隐瞒 B. 证明 C. 提高 D. 揭露

C. the rich D. the old

D. introduce the history of the college entrance examination
26、 Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, “The British are the only people who like to be told how bad things are.” This is definitely true of British comedy(戏剧). Most people think humor is about happy things, but for the British, the opposite is true. We love to use our cruel sense of humor to complain and be negative.
British comedy, for example, draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy(悲剧). BBC’s The Office is a TV show, famous for its dry humor. The main character, David Brent, is a foolish man, and the show’s comedy comes from hisdelusions. For example, he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone but the viewer can see that everyone hates him.
Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain. In Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night, the character Malvolio is an old man whom people play tricks on. The audience will laugh away, although the reality is that this man is a truly tragic individual(个体).
This side of British humor is reflected(反映)in friendships as well. At university, my friends and I would always laugh at one another. I had an American friend who actually found this sarcasm(挖苦)quite upsetting. She didn’t realize that in Britain, the better friends you are with someone, the more you laugh at them.
This way—laughing at everything—may sound rather depressing(沮丧),but our strange humor played a big part in British history. In World War II, along with a stiff upper lip(坚定沉着), the British got through it by laughing. What else was there to do?
There is a saying in English: “Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone.” If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm, you may feel like crying, but it’s best to just laugh it off!
【1】How is British comedy different from other types?
A.It is often surprising and boring.
B.It often laughs at human nature.
C.It is often about negative things.
D.It often makes people feel depressed.
【2】What does the underlined word “delusions” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.strong abilities
B.fun characters
C.incorrect beliefs
D.deep confidence
【3】Why is Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night mentioned in the article?
A.To show one of the best examples of British comedy.
B.To explain how Shakespeare’s comedy is different.
C.To show how difficult it is to make people accept British comedy.
D.To prove Britain has a long tradition of laughing at stupid characters.
【4】How does the author advise people to react(反应)to British humor?
A.Learn from it.
B.Don’t take it seriously.
C.Reply sarcastically.
D.Be careful not to make stupid mistakes.
27、Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation(状况) would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (the name of a kind of dog), is groomed for months before competing in the Oklahoma City Summer Classic Dog Show and can be the winner sometimes. So people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog(比垃圾场的狗更凶狠). Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this place. They bark or attack people who try to enter the place. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say barking dogs never bark.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
【1】What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. How to live with the dog.
B. Expressions related to(与...相关) the dog.
C. Americans’ love for the dog.
D. Dog expressions with the weather.
【2】Working too hard can make people ___________.
A. lead a dog’s life B. become sick as a dog
C. live in a dog-eat-dog world D. work like a dog
【3】What does the underlined word “groomed” mean?
A. trained B. honored C. awarded D. dressed
【4】 What can we learn from the passage?
A. Everyone can be successful if he learns from the old.
B. It might be difficult for the young to learn new skills.
C. Junkyard dogs are careful in money arrangement.
D. Mean dogs aren’t so awful as their appearance in fact.
【5】To support her idea, the author develops the passage mainly by ________.

28、请认真阅读下面短文,在答题卡标有题号的横线上填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A good way to dine
For only 20 yuan, Ms. Fang could buy her lunch at a community canteen (食堂) in Suzhou. She had a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a bowl of rice—all very 【1】 (health). “The dishes have a home-cooked taste,” said Ms. Fang.
Community canteens have become more and more popular in China recently. They were made for 【2】 old at first. It can be difficult for some old people to cook 【3】 their own, so the canteens offer help. They can have lunch and dinner within a 10-minute walk, or community 【4】 (work) can bring the dishes to them. The meals are cooked 【5】 (special) for these people. The food is softer and has 【6】 (little) oil.
Now, the community canteens are bringing in more young people. If they don’t want to order takeout meals 【7】 eat at restaurants, the canteens provide them with healthier and cheaper dishes.
This also encourages community canteens to think of some 【8】 (create) ways to provide food and make things easier for people. A canteen in Beijing’s Lugu Community brings out buffet-style (自助模式) dishes. They are 【9】 (sell) at 2.48 yuan per 100 grams. The price is lower than those of restaurants close by.
The rise of community canteens couldn’t have happened without the work of local governments. They provide subsidies (补贴) for 【10】 (build) the canteens and the dining expenses (花费) of old people. There are more than 6,700 community canteens in China.
