24、Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.

Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893, however, his father, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money. At the same time, his father became seriously ill. From that time on, his family was no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.

By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books, although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.

After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success. This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921) made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer. Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China’s future. In 1927, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He was forced to write his articles using false names.

Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun’s importance and influence have grown. Today, many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions of people around the world.

【1】Which of the following greatly influenced Lu Xun’s writing according to the passage?

A．The people he met in Japan.

B．The experiences in his early life.

C．Working as a teacher in Beijing.

A．It was based on Lu Xun’s diary.

B．It was the first novel to use everyday language.

C．Its story took place in modern times.

D．It was written using a western style.

【3】The underlined word “This” (paragraph 4) refers to ________.

A．The success of Diary of a Madman

B．The use of everyday language

C．The first Chinese novel

D．The True Story of Ah Q

25、   Food waste is a big problem. About one-quarter of the world’s food is unharvested or thrown away.

Some food suppliers want to stop food waste. They have promised to cut their food waste by half before 2030. They have joined a special project. The project is called 10×20×30. Companies from many countries are taking part. Nearly 200 food suppliers have signed up for 10×20×30. A lot of food suppliers are big companies.

Food waste is bad for the environment. It causes climate change. Climate change is also called global warming. Climate change is caused by greenhouse gases. These gases come from the burning of natural fuels like oil, gas and wood. Making food produces greenhouse gases. It would help the environment if we only made the food we need.

It is not just big companies that create waste. People waste a lot of food, too. ReFED is a nonprofit（非盈利）company. It is working to end food waste. Scientists at ReFED studied where food is most often wasted. The study showed that about 15% of waste happens on farms and producers waste about 2% of food. About 43% food waste happens at home. And 40% food is wasted by restaurants. So waste occurs（发生）throughout the supply chain（链）, with nearly 85％ occurring at consumer-facing（面向消费者的）businesses and homes.

Brian Roe teaches at Ohio State University. He works to stop food waste. He says there are a lot of ways to reduce food waste. Producers can do more. They can even stop people from throwing food away. Smaller serving sizes would help. They could also put more information on the packets. Roe says it is a good thing that big food producers want to help. He’s hoping the companies can work together. If they work as a team, they will be able to do more. They can help each other learn what’s working. They can tell each other what’s not working, too. This will keep more food out of landfills in the end.

【1】Some food suppliers join 10×20×30 to ________.

A．make the most food waste

B．reduce food waste

C．sell more food products

D．make more money

【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．Food waste can slow climate change.

B．Food waste can make climate worse.

C．Climate change can put an end to food waste.

D．Climate change can create more food waste.

【3】Which chart（图表）may show the result of the study by ReFED？

A．

B．

C．

D．

【4】When learning about big food producers want to help, Roe is ________.

A．doubtful

B．worried

C．happy

D．surprised

【5】In which section of a magazine can you read the text?

A．Health and sport.

C．Science and technology.

D．Population and environment.

26、   “Da-da-da daaaaah! ” These four notes are strong and full of power（力量）. Even if you don't know Ludwig van Beethoven（1770-1827）, you have probably heard these notes before.

This year is the 250th anniversary（周年）of Beethoven's birth. Born in Germany, he is one of the greatest musicians in history. The four opening notes above comes from his Symphony No.5（第五交响乐, also known as Fate（命运交响乐）.

Like this symphony, many of Beethoven’s works are rich in emotion（情感）. They probably came from his hard life. He started to lose his hearing in his 20s. But he chose to face this pain and turn his feelings into music.

In Symphony No.5, for example, you can hear anger and grief（悲痛）in the powerful notes. But as the music goes on, it sounds like a man who is moving from darkness into light. In the end, when the strings（弦乐）and drums play together, you know that the man has beaten fate.

“I will seize（扼住）fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome（战胜）me,” Beethoven once wrote. This spirit of his music will never stop giving people strength.

Ludwig van Beethoven died on March 26, 1827 at the age of 56. About 20,000 people went to his funeral（葬礼）in Vienna, Austria in 1827. Schools were closed and military（军队）was there to keep order. In 1977 Beethoven's Symphony No.5 was sent into outer space by the US Voyagerprobe（“旅行者号”飞船）.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Symphony No 5 is strong and full of joy.

B.Beethoven was a famous British musician.

【2】What made Beethoven’s music rich in emotion?

A.He had many fans and friends. B.He experienced a lot of pain.

【3】Symphony No.5 shows that Beethoven _________.

A.has finally overcome difficulties B.enjoyed the darkness in his life

C.wanted to bring his music to space D.decided to live a quite different life

【4】What can we infer from this passage?

A.Hard life and bad fate can help a musician create great music.

B.We needn5t worry, instead we should take everything as it comes.

C.Beethoven5s music can bring happiness to a person's hard life.

D.Beethoven's music has the power to encourage people to beat fate.

27、   I recently returned from a trip to New York. I had such a great time in the modern city. However, at first I was very nervous because my English was so bad. Later I knew that I needn’t worry a lot when I learned some useful expressions.

Could you please tell me …?

It is probably the English expression I used most because I was outside all day traveling. Knowing how to say “Where is …” and “How can I get to …” politely will certainly be convenient.

Numbers: One to ten.

Knowing numbers will help you pay the right money, or get on the right bus.

On my way back from New York, the stewardess (女乘务员) came up to me and asked me a question. While I couldn’t understand, I guessed that she asked for my seat number as she asked other passengers to take their seats. 25F was my seat number. I knew two and five, but I didn’t know twenty-five. Instead of speaking I gestured (打手势) two and five with my hands. The stewardess smiled at me and said “OK”. Hand gestures can work, but knowing how to say the numbers is also important!

Excuse me.

Getting people’s attention in a polite way is important, especially when you need help.

Thank you.

We are travelers, so it’s polite of us to say “thank you” often.

【1】The writer may often ask for directions when traveling around New York.

【2】The writer tells the experience on the plane to show how important it is to know how to say the numbers.

【3】The writer thinks it’s polite to use “Excuse me” to draw others’ attention when you ask for help.

【4】The writer had a great time in New York because she or he is good at speaking English.

【5】The writer mainly wants to tell us how she or he use these useful expressions.
