24、In the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.

Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.

Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.

The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.

At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned ＄1 an hour.

In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.

【1】The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.

A. the word “stewardess” was made up by Ellen Church

B. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a plane

C. Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a plane

D. Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane

【2】From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.

B. Ellen’s family was not rich enough to support her education

C. Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospital

D. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely

27、   China is a nation with a rich culture in handwriting. “Even though the computer is widely used today, Chinese people should not forget the skill of writing with hands,” said a Chinese government official(官员).

Nowadays, the computer has become a very useful tool to help people to write. As people use computers more often than before, many people have forgotten how to write Chinese characters (字). People often make a lot of mistakes in writing.

At present, China is trying to help pupils and teachers to improve their writing with the help of information technology. With the technology, it is hoped that teachers can write their teaching contents (内容) on the blackboard and students can respond by writing, too.

The Chinese character test shows that nowadays, many college students’ handwriting has become worse. Many college students do not know how to form words or sentences in Chinese character in the right way. Not only kids, many adults also have met the same problem. They might be able to tell the general form of a certain character. However, if you ask them to spell out the character in detail ( 详 细 地 ), they can’t. On the other hand, they can easily type out the character on a computer.

In the national language teaching course, we can solve this problem with the use of certain technologies. Actually, besides technology, there is a lot that we can do. For example, we may ask students to finish their homework by writing with hands instead of typing.

【1】People often make a lot of mistakes in writing Chinese characters because_____________ .

A.they are using too much English

B.Chinese characters are too difficult to write

C.they use computers too often and many people have forgotten how to write them

D.the country forgets to stress the importance of the Chinese writing

【2】How is China trying to help students and teachers to improve their writing?

A.By punishing people who can’t write correctly. B.By controlling people’s use of computers.

C.By asking them to write everything with hands. D.By using information technology.

【3】What does the underlined word “respond” in the third paragraph mean?

A.reply B.repair C.accept D.copy

【4】The problem of college students’ handwriting is that_____________  .

A.they don’t know how to write a Chinese character in the right way

B.they only know how to type out the character on a computer

C.they can write correctly with the help of information technology

D.they don’t know how to make up words or sentences in Chinese characters correctly

【5】What’s the main idea of this passage?

A.Computers are harmful to our handwriting.

B.How we can write good Chinese characters.

C.Chinese people should not forget the skill of writing with hands.

D.Don’t forget our mother language.

28、   April 10, 2019 is a remarkable day. The whole world felt excited on that night. For the【1】 (one) time in history, people saw the picture of a black hole. The picture became popular 【2】 (quick).
