24、Lin Xiao, 21, a student at Guangdong University, has a big family – her two parents, a younger brother and two younger sisters. Lin took her role as the “big sister” seriously. When her first sister was born, Lin took turns with her mom holding the baby late into the night. “I almost did everything that was supposed to be a parent’s job, but I felt proud of myself,” she said.

Not all of Lin’s classmates shared her experiences because of the family planning policy (政策), a law that was carried out in China about forty years ago. But the situation is about to change. A new policy made on October 29 said all couples can now have two children.

The new policy is expected to help raise the population of China. Recently, China has been facing an aging population and labor shortages because of the low birth rate (比率).

The two-child policy may also be the gift for every only child. Researchers found that growing up with a brother or sister can have good influence on one’s mental health.

“Brothers and sisters do matter in unique ways. They give kids something that parents don’t.” Laura Walker, a professor from Beijing University, told China Daily. She noted that having a brother or a sister protects teenagers against loneliness, fear and so on.

Liu Fang, 20, from Shenzhen University, has a 2-year-younger sister. When her sister disagreed with parents over choosing a college major, she helped her to communicate with parents. “If necessary, I would always have her back,” said Liu. “The best part of having a sister is that you have a partner, friend and supporter throughout your life.”

But children with brothers or sisters also have to learn to understand and look after each other, said Laura.

【1】There are ________ children in Lin Xiao’s family.

A. three B. four C. five D. six

【2】The one-child policy caused some problems except ________.

A. the aging population B. labor shortages 

C. the population growth   D. the low birth rate

【3】We can infer from the article that ________.

A. Lin Xiao doesn’t like her sister

B. Liu Fang has a 17-year-old sister

C. Laura is against the two-child policy

D. The one-child policy is out of date now

【4】The best title for this article should be ________.

A. Brothers and sisters are good for us.

B. The family planning policy is bad.

C. The two-child policy helps a lot.

D. A new policy was made.

25、   Meat can be tasty. It is often good for us and it has been part of our meals for hundreds of thousands of years. However, some organizations, such as the Soil Association, say meat should not be eaten every day, especially in schools. This is because farming animals for meat can be bad for the environment and lead to climate (气候）change. The Soil Association wants schools to have more plant-based meal choices that don’t have meat and that do not cause environmental problems. The Government already advises that schools have one no-meat day each week, but not all schools follow this advice. So what do you think? Should schools be made to have one completely no-meat day each week?

Yes - it’s important to protect the climate

Everyone needs to do their bit to help the planet, and eating less meat is a good start. Although meat can be healthy and is good for us in the right amounts, eating it every day means a lot of animals have to be farmed. This uses up valuable things such as water and land. The animals themselves add to climate change by producing a gas called methane. Besides, it’s not necessary to eat meat every day. There are many ways to get the nourishment we need to be healthy. We could eat foods like beans, nuts, potatoes and so on. What’s more, eating more plant-based foods will save schools’ money because they are cheaper than meat. This money could be used on books and school trips.

No-_____________

Students should be able to decide what they eat - it is a personal choice. Some students, for example, might eat a little bit of meat each day, but less overall. Besides, meat is full of healthy vitamins and nutrients needed for growth. If schools don’t serve meat, they might end up serving chips and junk food instead, which wouldn’t be healthier. It’s right to tell and educate young people about climate change and the results of the farming industry, but they should be encouraged to change their eating habits rather than being told that they have to. Making people change their habits doesn’t always mean people can change their minds.

【1】The example of the Soil Association taken by the writer is to show ________.

A．every school must have one no-meat day

B．no-meat day is becoming a tradition in all schools

C．students should be required to cat meat in the right amounts to keep healthy

D．people try to protect the environment by having one no-meat day in schools

【2】The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to _________.

A．eating much meat

B．farming lots of animals

C．having one no-meat day

D．eating more plant-based foods

【3】Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in “_______” in the passage?

A．it should be up to the students

B．schools shouldn’t have one no-meat day

C．it’s necessary to change students’ eating habits

D．students should eat a little bit of meat every day

【4】What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A．Changing people’s minds is really a difficult task.

B．It’s not polite to make people change their eating habits.

C．Habits changing cannot always lead to minds changing.

D．It’s more important to change eating habits than to change their minds.

27、The Amazing Brain

Sleep. It’s something we spend about a third of our lives doing, but do any of us really understand what it’s all about?

We all know based on our own experience that when we sleep, it clears our minds, and when we don’t sleep, it leaves our minds murky (昏沉沉的). But when we still haven’t understood why sleep has this amazing function for the mind.

Recently biologists have found that sleep may actually be a kind of design solution to some of the brain’s most basic needs, the way that brain meets the high demands and the narrow margins (范围) that set it apart from all the other organs (器官) of the body. The brain has a large pool of clean, clear fluid (流体) called cerebrospinal fluid. Biologists call it the CSF. The CSF fills the space that surrounds the brain, and wastes from inside the brain make their way out to the CSF, which gets the waste into the blood. What was surprising to them was that the fluid on the outside of the brain didn’t stay on the outside. Instead, the CSF goes into and through the brain along the outsides of the blood vessels (血管), it was actually helping to clear away and clean the waste from the spaces between the brain’s cells (细胞). This only happens in the sleeping brain.

Recent research suggests that what’s happening is that when the brain is awake and is at its most busy, it puts off clearing away the waste from the spaces between its cells until later. When we go to sleep, it gets into a kind of cleaning mode to clear away the waste from the spaces between its cells.

We go to sleep every single night, but our brains never rest. While our body is still and our mind is off walking in dreams somewhere. Like our housework, it’s dirty and a thankless job, but it’s also important. In your house, if you stop cleaning your kitchen for a month, your home will become completely unlivable very quickly. But in he brain, the situation is much more serious because when it comes to cleaning the brain, it is the very health and function of the mind and the body that’s at stake. That is why understanding these very basic housekeeping functions of the brain today may prevent and treat diseases of the mind tomorrow.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “at stake” in the last paragraph mean?

A. in a healthy situation

B. in a dangerous situation

C. in an amazing situation

D. in an unlivable situation

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Sleeping makes our brain feel murky.

B. The CSF can clean the waste in our brain.

C. Our brain can clean the waste at any time.

D. Sleeping makes our brain have a good rest.

【3】What is the main purpose of writing this passage?

A. To teach us how to have a good sleep.

B. To show the new research of our brain.

C. To introduce how CSF works in our brain.

D. To tell us the importance of sleeping.

28、   More and more people can drive today. So there are a lot of cars on the street. At this time, many driving direction apps 【1】 (use) very widely in our daily life. Now driving is very different.

But a wrong direction app may make it hard to find the place. It happens to everyone. The direction app tells you 【2】 (turn) left, but there’s no street there. It says you should make a U-turn, but there is a sign 【3】 (tell) drivers not to make U-turns.

An app is helping with directions, but you should know 【4】 you are going and what is happening on the roads. There is a man who is driving 【5】 a new city. He doesn’t know the way well, 【6】 he opens his direction app and hopes that will help. But some minutes later, he and his car are in a lake. The app tells him to drive on a 【7】 (break) bridge. He calls 110, and sits on the top of the car waiting for help. So, you must tell 【8】 (you) where to go first. You should also know more about the road conditions before going out.

Of course, everything has two 【9】 (side). Most of the direction apps can not only show drivers the right way, but also help them do many other things. They tell drivers which road has fewer cars, when to slow down and where there is 【10】 camera. So apps are very helpful and useful in our life.

29、   A friend whose life was full of problems wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. He ended his letter to me with this ______,"We can't really change this crazy world we live in, can we?" I answered him ______ and started my own letter with these words, "Yes, we most certainly can!"
