24、   According to a famous optical expert(光学专家)，Alexander, who recently visited Shanghai, the developed countries in Europe（欧洲） and America have made rules that children must wear resinous(树脂) glasses instead of the traditional glasses made of glass. This is because the glasses are more likely to do harm to children’s eyesight.

Alexander pointed out, wearing the right glasses as soon as possible is still the best way to cure and put right children’s eyesight problems.

In America and Japan, the resinous glasses have taken up 80 percent of the glasses market. And some European countries and America have made it a law that children, teenagers and drivers must wear resinous glasses.

Now, about 10 million children in China have different eyesight problems and they need timely treatment.

But still, too many parents are buying the traditional glass glasses for their children. This is mainly because many parents know little or nothing about the good points of the resinous glasses. Besides（而且）,the price for the new glasses is a little higher than the traditional ones.

【1】This text mainly wants to tell us that________.

A.Alexander visited China and introduced a new kind of glasses

B.resinous glasses are very popular in Europe and America

C.we should wear resinous glasses instead of glass glasses

D.glasses can be made of other materials besides glass

【2】The underlined words “ timely treatment”(paragraph 4) mean _______.

A.stopping to wear glass glasses any more

B.wearing suitable resinous glasses at the right time

C.buying a pair of glasses and wearing them right away

D.buying glasses made in Europe, Japan, or America if possible

【3】It can be inferred（推断）from the text that _______.

A.resinous glasses are not on sale in China yet

B.resinous glasses are not acceptable（可接受的）at all in China

C.glass glasses have disappeared on Western market

D.glass glasses are the first choice in China not only because they are cheaper

25、   A young man was getting ready to graduate from the college. He loved a beautiful sports car for many months, and knew his father could well afford it for him. He told his father that was all he wanted.

As the graduation day was coming, the young man had got nothing from his father. On the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study. He told his son how proud he was to have such a good son, and told him how much he loved him. Then he gave his son a beautiful gift box. The young man opened the box and found a lovely book, a Bible, with the young man’s name on it. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you gave me a Bible?” He then ran out of the house, leaving the Bible behind.

Many years later, the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful house and a wonderful family. Realizing his father was old, he thought he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Unfortunately, he was told that his father had died.

When he arrived at his father’s house, he began to take care of his father’s papers. And then he found the Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened it and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, from the back of the Bible dropped a car key. That was the key to the sports car he wanted so much. Sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.

Sometimes we don’t realize the good luck that we already have because we don’t know the “gift box” is packed in a different way. The “gift box” may be the door to happiness. It is just waiting for us to open.

26、

The second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day. Celebrated in the US, it has also become popular in China as a way to express thankfulness to mothers with gifts and greetings. Some experts suggest China should have its own Mother’s Day, instead of “borrowing” from the US.

Tailorsas: This is not a big problem, as long as you have appreciation(感激) for your mom who raised you and offered everything that she had, every day can be a Mother’s Day. You don’t have to give her a present, just tell her you love her, care about her, go shopping with her, cook for her, even the smallest thing can be affective.

Michael: If you look at Mother’s Day, or any other day, from the standpoint of “borrowing” from America or any other country, I think the whole point of having such a day has been missed. Why not focus on honoring mothers around the world rather than worrying about “borrowing” from anyone? If Mother’s Day is American, changing the date you have it won’t make it any less. If you think like that, then, it just becomes a knockoff(冒牌)holiday.

Senorita: I think maybe it is those retail businessmen who want as many special days as possible, so that they can earn more money. On Mother’s Day, things are double the price than usual and it is super difficult to book a table for dining. Something with Chinese traditions sounds nice, but I hope the special day would light our love for mothers, instead of following the fashion and fall into the trap(圈套) dug by businessmen.

Francisco: It doesn’t matter if we have our own day as long as you show your love to your mom. When I grew up, especially when I became a mother, I realized how much my mom has sacrificed(牺牲) selflessly and how great she really is! Mothers deserve not only our respect but also our care and love as well. We Chinese like to keep everything to ourselves, even though we love deep in our hearts. We, more often than not, don’t express it directly. In this regard, we should learn from Americans. Say “I love you” whenever you feel it and give her a hug or have a heart-to-heart chat or do some housework. What you can give your mother is not very important at all. What matters is that you should do something to show your love, not just on Mother’s Day.

【1】The underlined word “affective” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.

A.warm B.common

C.reasonable D.international

【2】What can we infer from Francisco’s words?

A.She thinks highly of Mother’s Day in the US.

B.She is all for creating a Chinese Mother’s Day.

C.She is opposed to celebrating Mother’s Day with Americans in the world.

D.She thinks it’s important to show love to mothers no matter what day it is.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.“Borrowing” Mother’s Day from the US is really a big problem.

B.Businessmen may benefit greatly from the Chinese Mother’s Day.

C.Honoring mothers around the world will lead to a knockoff holiday.

D.Chinese like to express the feeling of love for their mothers directly.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Does Mother’s Day really matter?

B.Do people really need Mother’s Day?

C.Does China need its own Mother’s Day?

D.Do we need to change the date of Mother’s Day?

27、   Is there anything that you do to cheer yourself up and “heal（治愈）” your mind when you’re feeling down? Many of us have our own ways to make ourselves feel better. This is referred to as “self-care”.

This idea originated（起源） in Japan. It refers to any activity that can soothe one’s nerves（平缓心绪）, clear one’s mind, and comfort a troubled heart, according to China News Service. It was first used to describe the music of Japanese songwriter Ryuichi Sakamoto（坂本龙一）in 1999.

Self-care is now booming（急速发展）in China as well. One of the most popular activities is “healing travel”. According to Caissa Touristic, a Beijing-based travel agency, more Chinese tourists are going on meditation（冥想）or yoga retreats in places like Japan, Bali and India.

By taking these trips, people can learn more about local culture and the way people in these countries live. Without a tour guide or detailed plan, they allow their bodies and minds to relax as they forget about daily stresses and noisy surroundings（周遭事物）back home.

Having a pet can also help to improve our mental health. Research has shown that pets and humans can heal each other, NPR reported. Strong human-to-animal bonds（情感联系）make both pets and their owners happier and healthier. Chinese dog and cat owners spent over 5,000 yuan per pet on average in 2018. China’s pet industry now has a value of over 170 billion yuan, Xinhua reported.

More people are seeking out self-care activities simply because they can finally afford to, particularly China’s growing middleclass（中产阶级）. With fewer financial（财务的）worries, they can slow down and take a closer look at their own inner（内心的）world, the Paper noted.

【1】What do we know about “self-care” in the story?

A.It means living by yourself. B.It started in Japan about 20 years ago.

C.It focuses on one’s physical health. D.It refers to activities done by yourself.

【2】People may feel “healed” while going on trips because _________.

A.they can do meditation or yoga during their trips B.they get to know how other people live

C.they can relax and avoid daily stress D.they don’t need to make plans

【3】According to Xinhua, which of the following is TRUE?

A.“Healing travel” is a popular “self-care” activity.

B.Pets can’t help their owners stay healthy mentally.

C.Chinese people prefer to raise cats.

D.Chinese pet owners spend a lot of money on their pets.

【4】What can we infer from the story?

A.Ryuichi Sakamoto’s music can make people feel better.

B.People who have pets are not necessarily happier or healthier.

C.The middle class experiences more stress and mental health problems.

D.Chinese people will spend more money on their pets.

【5】What’s the best title of this passage?

A.How to Keep Pets B.How to Live Longer

C.How to Help Ourselves D.How to Make Plans
