24、   When you are interested in something and want to know more about it, you can use the way of asking questions. Asking questions is the first step to find interesting answers. The following steps can guide you during the study.

Step 1 Write down the subject(主题) that you are interested in on a piece of paper. Just get the main idea down. For example, you might write:

Find out more about robots(机器人).

Step 2 Stop and think for a moment about what you have already known about you subject. List what you have already known like the sentences below:

1. The first robot came out in the USA in 1959.

2. A robot can do housework and act as a teacher.

3. Sometimes a robot catches viruses(病毒)and causes a lot of problems.

Step 3 What can you do with what you want to learn? By asking questions, start writing down questions about the robots on the paper:

1. What might robots be like in the future?

2. What other things can robots do for people?

3. What kind of power will robots possibly use in five years?

Step 4 Armed with your list of questions, you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your study. As you learn more about your subject, you'll probably find out some new questions.

For example, you might find that robots can help scientists work in dangerous place, like the sea and outer space. How? What happened? Asking new questions can help you study your subject more widely.

The next time you find something interesting to study, take time to organize your thinking by asking good questions. And remember that learning more always brings more questions.

【1】What does the writer ask us to do when we're interested in something?

A.To read more books about it. B.To ask parents more questions.

d. Choose a subject.

A.d c a b B.d a c b C.b c d a D.c b a d

【4】What might be the best title for this passage?

A.Studying Robots B.Asking Good Questions While Studying

C.Having Interesting Answers on Robots D.Finding Subjects Before Studying

25、The expression “down to earth” means being open and honest. It is easy to get on with someone who is down to earth. A down-to-earth person is the opposite of someone who acts important or proud.

Down-to-earth people could be important members of society. But they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. A person who is filled with his own importance and pride is said to have his nose in the air.

Americans use another expression that is similar in some ways to down to earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality(现实). He may have dreams, but he does not allow them to have influence on his understanding of what is real.

The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. Someone with his head in the clouds is a person whose mind is not on what is happening in real life. Such a person may be called a day－dreamer.

When we have both our feet on the ground, and when we are down to earth, we do not have our noses in the air. We act honestly and openly to others. Our lives are like the ground below us— solid(牢固的) and strong.

【1】A down-to-earth person could be_____________.

A. social and proud  B. good and opposite

C. real and important D. strong and changeable

【2】The expression “has one’s nose in the air” means_____________.

A. 眉飞色舞   B. 目中无人 C. 瞻前顾后  D. 春风得意

【3】This passage mainly talks about_____________.

A. the use of some expressions

B. dreams and achievements

C. the lifestyle of honest people

D. honesty and understanding

【4】If you want to understand what is real in life, you have to_____________.

A. get along with other people easily

B. have your nose in the air

C. be a good dreamer with quick mind

D. have both your feet on the ground

【5】If you only consider your own importance, __________.

A. you will be better than others

B. your life will be like the solid and strong ground

C. you’ll be hated by down-to-earth people

D. your life will be filled with love

26、

I recently read a book called The Shawshank Redemption（《肖申克的救赎》）. It tells a story that is both shocking and full of hope.

Set in 1947, it tells the story of Andy Dufresne, a banker who was sentenced(判处) to life in Shawshank State Prison. He was accused of killing two people, although he didn’t do it. After years of suffering in the prison, he started to make friends with others and won their respect with his outstanding accounting (会计学的) abilities.

But Andy never stopped wanting freedom. During his 20 years in prison, he had been digging a hole with a small pickaxe (篙头) every day and hiding the hole with a poster. As his well-prepared escape plan was put into practice, the suspense (悬念) in the book keeps me on edge until the end.

Famous Irish writer Oscar Wilde once said “We’re all in the gutter (臭水沟), but some of us are looking at stars.” This saying perfectly sums up Andy’s life. The thing that makes the biggest impression on me is Andy’s love for the beauty of life. He plays a song over the prison’s broadcast system, even though he was not allowed to do so. When the singer’s voice was heard, the prisoners stopped talking, immersing themselves in the music and letting the beauty flood in.

The goal of this book is to show readers the power of strength, hope and patience.

【1】In which section may we read the above material?

A.MAGIC WORLD  B.COOL INVENTION

C.I REVIEW D.DETECTIVE FUN

【2】Andy was put in prison because ________.

A.he stole money from a bank

B.he made some bad friends

C.he dug holes in the ground

D.he was said to have killed two people

【3】The underlined words “kept me on edge” in paragraph 3 probably mean ________.

A.to make me feel anxious but also curious

B.to make me feel relaxed and comfortable

C.to make me feel like giving up reading

D.to make me feel bored and sleepy

【4】The paragraph 4 is mainly about ________.

A.how Andy escaped from prison

B.why Andy played a song on TV

C.what Oscar Wilde thought of the book

D.what kind of attitude Andy held towards life

【5】The author of the story would probably agree that ________.

A.many people are put in prison by mistake

B.it is not necessary to fear the world

C.hope is the best thing to hold on to

D.prisoners should be allowed to listen to music

27、Success by failure

I had failed again. It was the day of the big marathon. I had decided three years ago to train for the half-marathon event and take home a medal. There I sat, in front of my TV, while I watched others cross the finish line. It was just another in a long string(串) of failures. I had never met a single weight loss or fitness goal and I was majoring in the art of failing.

We are a family of exploration and often plan active vacations. It seemed that on every vacation I was the one who couldn’t go the distance. Each time I urged(催促) my family, “Go on without me. Bring me lots of pictures and videos. I’ll be fine just sitting here taking in the view.” I lied. Sick of being left behind, I decided that it would never happen again. Sure I was in my 50s, but surely there was still hope for me. I always spent weeks walking to prepare for our active vacations. I had lost weight many times. I just always seemed to fail to get where I needed to be.

But this time I would do something different. I was going to walk a half marathon. Surely I would lose weight and get in sharp if I could complete over 12 miles in four hours. Besides, this would be training. Training sounded cooler than diet and exercise. I was revved up and ready to go. I bought the proper gear(装备)，checked out what type of drinks would be handed out at the marathon and prepared a lot. I had a plan！

Now two years later, there I sat, watching thousands of people of all ages succeed where I had failed. I walked out, angry with myself, sat down and had myself a pity party. I was a master at the art of pity parties, having a great deal of experience in holding them. What was my problem? Where was I going wrong? I stopped and considered each failure, one by one. I made some very interesting discoveries.

I had failed to climb to the top of that Mayan pyramid, but I did climb it and stood on those ancient stones. I had failed to meet a single weight loss goal and yet I had lost 43 pounds. I couldn’t walk 12 miles in four hours, but I could walk 12 miles.

All my failures were sounding like a success story. This time I was giving thanks. I was thankful that I had been given the spirit of failure because failure meant that I was trying, that I didn’t give up. I decided that I would be crossing the finish line next year.

【1】What can you learn from the passage?

A. The writer didn’t lose any weight in the end.

B. The writer didn’t climb the Mayan pyramid.

C. The writer didn’t take part in the big marathon.

D. The writer didn’t have holidays with his family.

【2】What does the underlined sentence “I was revved up.” Probably mean?

A. I got excited.  B. I felt moved.

C. I was pushed.  D. I was chosen.

【3】Which words can best describe the writer in the passage?

A. Clever and friendly

B. Interesting and proud

C. Humorous and hopeful.

D. King and strong-willed.

【4】The writer probably agrees that   .

A. one should never give up half way

B. setting a goal is the key to success

C. one can learn by making and correcting mistakes

D. trying but failing to reach the goal is still meaningful

28、Can plants eat people? Probably not, but【1】are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big. And they can eat small 【2】. One famous meat-eating plant is Venus Flytrap (捕蝇草).

Venus Flytrap is【3】very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its【4】

are like the pages of a book.They can open and close very【5】. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs.If a fly touches one of the hairs, the leaf【6】quickly，so the fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the fly【7】it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly and slowly eats it.

Why do plants do that? Most plants get what they need【8】the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very【9】. It doesn’t have all these important things, especially nitrogen(氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen,so some plants eat meat to get what they【10】. Let’s hope that bigger plants don’t get the same idea!
