24、   When taking an elevator, do you often push the “close” button? You hope by pushing it, the elevator door will close faster. But what if the button is actually fake（假的）?

Karen Penafiel is the executive director（执行董事）of the US National Elevator Industry. She said that elevators’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the US, and that doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you push.

In the 1990s the Americans with Disabilities Act（《美国残疾人法案》）was passed in the US. It means all elevators have to stay open long enough to allow disabled（残疾的）people to enter. Only US firefighters and elevator workers can really use the buttons with special keys.

But the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists（心理学家）, fake buttons can make you feel better. They give you a sense of control that can help reduce stress. That’s why some other buttons in our lives are fake, too.

For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats（温控器）. People may feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.

You were told that traffic light buttons could help make the traffic signals change faster. But they may not really work either.

However, even when people know these little “white lies”, they still push fake buttons. As long as the doors finally close, it seems worthy.

John Kounios is a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US. He told The New YorkTimes that he always pushes the traffic light buttons. “After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not push the button on the off chance that this one will work?”

【1】You push the “close” button in the US, the elevator door will ________.

A.close immediately B.not be completely open

C.play a trick on you D.not close as fast as you wish

【2】The US, in order for disabled people to go in safely, ________.

A.elevator workers will press the “open” button for them

B.they will be given a special key to use in the elevators

C.all elevators are designed to open long enough

D.no “close” button is fixed on the elevators

【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned as fake?

A.Thermostat buttons. B.Elevator buttons.

C.Traffic light buttons. D.Power buttons.

【4】There are quite a few fake buttons in our lives because they can ________.

A.control people’s senses B.help people feel better

C.control the temperature D.tell “white lies”

【5】The underlined words “on the off chance” in the last paragraph most probably mean “______”.

A.with the little hope B.without any plan

C.with a great opportunity D.without any possibility

【6】The best title for the passage is ________.

A.Button pushing society B.Useless buttons

C.Buttons for disabled people D.Fake elevator buttons

25、阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

China isn't well known for its science fiction films, but recently a new film called The Wandering Earth has become a great success. It has earned over $697 million worldwide. It tells an amazing story of the Earth in danger, along with exciting scenes of spaceships and outer space.

The Wandering Earth is based on a story by Liu Cixin. In the story, the sun was dying out, people all around the world worked together to move Earth out of the solar system and sail Earth to a new star system. The film began with the early life of a young boy who was born just after the project started. The engineers pushed Earth away and built underground cities that were vast enough for all the other humans to live in. Yet the 2500 years' journey came with all kinds of dangers. In order to save the humans, a group of young people came out and fought hard for the planet.

China is playing an increasingly important part in the film industry. Its growing middle class has seen the rise of film market across the country, and Chinese viewers have become an important part of film industry. Hollywood Projects like Iron Man 3 specifically filmed more scenes in China for its market. Chinese film industry is keeping growing. Just as Americans want to get into the Chinese market, Chinese filmmakers are looking for the way to the international market.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Wandering Earth is China's "first space" film. Chinese science fiction writer, Anna Wu, says science fiction "is a new challenge for the Chinese film industry." Some Chinese filmmakers have achieved a great success at this kind of film, but most of them still have a long way to go.

Still, Wu notes that within China, "Not all the science fiction films have had success. It still takes time to accept science fictions, and that with the development of our country, people are getting busier, wealthier and more stressed," which creates a perfect environment for this new kind of film and television. The Wandering Earth, she says, is a good example. "I also care about the money it earns, which will affect the future of Chinese science fiction films."

【1】The underlined word vast in Paragraph 2 means ________.

A．modern

B．busy

C．huge

D．noisy

【2】Put the following statements in the correct order according to the film.

a. The engineers pushed Earth away.

b. Humans met all kinds of dangers.

c. Many young people fought for Earth.

d. A young boy was born after the project started.

e. The engineers built vast cities under the ground.

A．d-a-e-b-c

B．d-c-e-a-b

C．e-c-a-d-b

D．c-e-d-a-b

【3】Hollywood film Iron Man 3 filmed some scenes in China in order to ________.

A．reduce the cost of film making

B．attract more Chinese viewers

C．make its story more interesting

D．help improve Chinese film industry

【4】Why did Anna Wu think science fiction was a new challenge for the Chinese film industry?

A．Because there are few science fiction writers.

B．Because there are too many Hollywood films.

C．Because not every story can be made into a film.

D．Because not every filmmaker can be successful.

26、   Pollution

Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn't have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.

Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It's bad for all living things in the world.

Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called haze(雾霾).

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away. And they mustn't blow dirty smoke into the air.

We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.

Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.

【1】Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today because ________.

A.there were fewer modern machines at that time than today B.people didn't like to use modern medicine

C.there were no modern machines D.there were not so many people

【2】What is one of the biggest problems in today's life?

A.Dirty water. B.Smog. C.Noise. D.Pollution.

【3】The most serious kind of pollution is ________.

A.noise pollution B.air pollution C.water pollution D.waste things

【4】Factories must clean water ________.

A.before they use it B.when they use it

C.after it is thrown away D.before it is thrown away

【5】From the passage we know that ________.

A.a few years ago, there was no haze at all B.people today don't have to talk to each other in a loud voice

C.we can drink water from the polluted rivers and lakes D.people are making rules in order to fight pollution

27、

French and American doctors have done an operation (手术) together in which the doctors were outside the operating room. This kind of operation is known as robotic operation.

Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.

A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach area. Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine.

The robot moved the tools that cut the woman’s gallbladder (胆囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.

Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications (通讯系统) between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order to a robot to move the tool quickly.

Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make such smaller movements than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor’s hand cannot.

Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where the doctors work.

【1】The underlined phrase “ robotic operation” means ________.

A.a special kind of robot invented by doctors.

B.something done to mend a robot.

C.an operation done by French and American doctors.

D.an operation done far away with the help of a robot.

【2】We use the robot in the operation because _________.

A.it can send messages in a high speed.

B.even a top doctor can’t do the operation himself.

C.it can make the operation safer and better.

D.operations can be done without doctors.

【3】Which of the following is NOT right?

A.Robotic operation has been used in the USA.

B.Robotic operation is good for doctor training.

C.Experts speak highly of robotic operation.

D.The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.

【4】What’s the best title for this passage?

A.An Operation B.Robotic Operation

C.How to do a Robotic Operation D.The problems of a Robotic Operation

29、A team of students who were successful in their work got together to visit their old teacher after graduating from college many years later. The talk soon turned into complaints about     in work and life.

Before offering his students coffee, the teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and different kinds of cups—plastic, glass, porcelain(陶瓷), crystal(水晶), some common and cheap, some beautiful and   16   —telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

After all the guests had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said: “If you noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the common and cheap ones. While it is for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is where your problems and stress come from. We all know that the cup itself   no quality to the coffee. In most cases is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you all went for the best cups. And then you began looking at each other’s cups.”

Now consider this:   is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold life, and the type of cup we have does not decide, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by only paying attention to the cup, we to enjoy the coffee God has provided us.

God makes the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!
