24、   I’m the engine that keeps you working, and I’m here to share some of my secrets. I have 100 billion nerve cells(神经细胞), so you need to consider before you blame(责怪) me for not being so fast enough. It’s not really my fault: information travels through me too fast and sometimes I can’t keep all of it.

The Internet is making me weak. A study found that you’ve been relying more on the Internet. That means I’m going to forget more over time. Scientists have been worried that our ability to think is being lost.

In general, I’m about ten percent larger in men than women. It doesn’t make men smarter. It just lets me control their different bodies. Actually, it’s more common for women to get angry, but men can’t focus on a thing well. They usually have language difficulties.

Your mobile phone scares me. A new study showed that more than one hour of mobile phone use can get me in trouble. Mobile phone radiation(辐射) might cause me to be in a worse situation.

Some parts of me never sleep. It’s important for you to get a good night’s sleep. Sleep helps to improve memories. In fact, when you are asleep, some parts of me are still working hard on my duty. Besides, laughter is really the best medicine for me. So remember to laugh more for my better situation.

【1】What’s the result of depending too much on the Internet?

A.It will make people remember things for a long time.

B.It helps people to remember things more easily.

C.It may influence one’s way of thinking.

D.It may make us have the ability to learn.

【2】Why can’t I keep all the information?

A.Because there is too much information.

B.Because information travels too fast.

C.Because I can hardly work.

D.Because I am lazy.

【3】What can you do to make “me” work better?

A.Get a shorter sleep every night.

B.Blame “me” for not being fast enough.

C.Use “me” more instead of the Internet.

D.Use a mobile phone for one hour each day.

【4】What can we know from the passage?

A.Men can pay close attention to a thing.

B.At night, “I” can completely sleep and stop working.

C.It’s clear that “I” should take medicine to work better.

D.Mobile phone radiation may bring serious problems to “me”.

25、请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A new study warns that about 30% of the world people may not have enough water by the year 2025.

A private American organization called Population Action International (PAI) did the new study. It says more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack enough water now. These people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.

PAI researchers Robert Engelman says by the year 2025， about three thousand million people may face water problems. At least 18 more countries are expected to lack enough water. The need for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount(数量) of water on the earth stays the same.

The report says lack of water in the future may cause several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases， such as cholera， which are carried in water. Lack of water may also lead to more international conflict(冲突). Countries may have to fight for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their water from other countries. This is true of Egypt， the Netherlands， Cambodia， Syria， Sudan， and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would influence the ability to improve their economies(经济). This is because new industries often need a great amount of water when they are beginning.

The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One

way， it says， is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water for agriculture.

The report also says a long-term solution to the water problem is to control population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.

【1】 The PAI study shows that   countries will lack water by the year 2025.

A. at least 46   B. at most 46

C. 18     D. 28

【2】 Which of the following problems is NOT true according to the passage?

A. It may bring about a lot of health problems.

B. It may cause more international conflict.

C. It may lead to the improvement of new industries.

D. It may influence the development of economies.

【3】 What is the way to solve the water problem in the long term?

A. To use water in different ways.

B. To realize the water problem.

C. To reduce water for farming.

D. To limit the rising birth rate.

【4】 Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

A.①②→③④→⑤⑥   B.①②③→④→⑤⑥

C.①②③④→⑤→⑥   D.①②③→④→⑤→⑥

26、   For his seventh birthday, Rashard was given a gift that would define his life. His father took him to a music store and told Rashard he could pick out any instrument he wanted. There was just one requirement. Rashard would have to promise he would learn to play.

To that point, Rashard had not had much interest in music. Rashard was far more interested  in playing video games or occasionally baseball with his friends. He had never once thought about playing an instrument. It was hard for him to pick one on his birthday.

Not knowing where to start, Rashard wandered the music store. In the front of the store, he saw all the pianos. Though Rashard’s family did not live in poverty, he knew they were also not rich. He knew that a piano was too expensive, so he walked past the piano room. Next, he found a wall filled with brass instruments. There was a tuba, a saxophone, a trumpet, and something he could not tell. The salesman said it was a French horn. Rashard was not interested in any of those either, because he did not want to put his mouth on anything. He moved on to the large room filled with acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and basses. The salesman invited him to try out one of the guitars, but the only problem was that Rashard’s hands were too small to fit around the neck of the instrument!

Realizing he would not be able to play a guitar, Rashard moved into the next room of the music store. There, he found stringed instruments other than guitars. He picked up a violin, and he realized it was the perfect size for his small hands!

Rashard kept his promise to his dad. He took lessons at the very same store he bought the violin, and he continues to play it as an adult.

Though Rashard has since bought nicer violins, he always remembered the first one his  father bought for him. It was easily the most important gift Rashard ever received. As his father put it, “The gift of music is better than any video game you wanted when you were seven.”

【1】Which of the following words or phrases would best introduce the last sentence in paragraph2:“It was hard for him to pick one on his birthday.”?

A.Besides B.However C.Because of this D.Even so

【2】Based on its use in paragraph 3, the underlined word poverty means being short of________.

A.patience B.wisdom C.money D.talent

【3】Rashard’s decision to take the violin was most strongly influenced by ________ .

A.the price of the violin B.the size of the violin

C.the difficulty of playing the violin D.the sound the violin made

【4】Rashard saw each of the following instruments at the music store EXCEPT________ .

A.a guitar B.a viola C.a tuba D.a piano

【5】It can be inferred from the passage that Rashard’s father________ .

A.played the violin B.did not like video games C.was wealthy D.valued music

27、More than anything else in the world, Lion liked being King of the jungle. He walked around, showing off his power and pride.

Each day Lion took a long lazy sleep under the shade of his favourite tree. He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing(鞠躬) before him.

One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over Lion’s huge paws. Lion woke up with a start. “How dare you wake me up! ”  he shouted angrily. Lion grabbed Mouse with one paw. “On the second thought, I’m in the mood for the snack, and you’ll make a delicious meal.”, he said.

Mouse cried out, “King Lion, please spare（饶恕）me! If you let me live, I’ll always remember your kindness. And, some day, I might be able to help you.”

“ How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?” That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go. A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the way to his favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunter’s net. The net scooped him up. No matter how he twisted and turned, he couldn’t escape.

When Mouse heard Lion’s frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed through the ropes to make a hole in the net. Soon, Lion moved out and was free.
