24、   My elder brother Steve gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult after my father died when I was six years old.

Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took some time to ask me what happened. When I told him that my baseball had flown through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess to her. After all, I was supposed to be playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my voice shook as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the broken window from my pocket money.

I also learned from Steve that personal property (财产) is a sacred(神圣的) thing. After I found a shiny pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it. Then Steve explained that it might be important to the loser although it had little value (价值). He also reminded (提醒) me of how sad I was when I lost the small dog my father made from a piece of cheap wood. At last, I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids. I still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder.

Yet of all the lessons Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown bird in the garden with a gun. Excited with my accuracy, I asked Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “Even if it hurts you first, you should think a long time and then decide whether you will kill it or not.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.

【1】How many lessons Steve gave to Mark are mentioned in the passage?

A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.

【2】From the second paragraph, we know when Mark confessed to Mrs. Holt, ________.

A.he felt surprised B.he felt excited C.he felt frightened D.he felt delighted

【3】The underlined word “confess” probably means ________.

A.apologize B.explain C.complain D.argue

【4】According to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother?

A.Respect for living things. B.Responsibility for one’s behavior.

C.The value of honesty. D.Care for the property of others.

【5】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Mark was a boy when he wrote this passage.

B.Mark lost the small dog his father bought somewhere.

C.When a living thing hurts you, you should kill it.

D.Even if a living thing hurts you, you should not kill it at once.

【6】What’s the best title of the passage?

C.My Early Memory D.My Sweet Childhood

25、

When your pen is broken, the battery（电池）in your toy runs out, or you have some leftover food, what will you do with these things? You will probably throw them all into one bin. But actually, all of these pieces of trash need to be sorted（分类）separately.

Garbage sorting is a big issue worldwide. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it.

Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a “green account（账户）” service for its residents. Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products. The city is asking all of its residents to sort their garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.

Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want but pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily explained Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.

Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs（荧光灯泡）.

Finally, any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in to the “dry waste” bin.

Many other Chinese cities are also using this method to sort their garbage. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its garbage into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also receive waste-sorting guidebooks that they must study.

China is improving its waste-sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your trash properly and protect the environment.

If you don’t sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill（垃圾填埋场）and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater（地下水）. Other pieces of garbage, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.

【1】What does the underlined word “residents” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?

A．清洁工

B．居民

C．农民

D．渔民

【2】How is Shanghai encouraging people to sort their garbage?

A．By creating a green account service with the help of Alipay.

B．By paying people to sort their trash correctly.

C．By allowing people to exchange garbage with each other.

D．By providing its residents with guidebooks to help them.

【3】Which of the following would be classified as wet waste?

A．Batteries.

B．Glasses.

C．Leftover food.

D．Medicine.

【4】What do we know about garbage sorting in China?

A．It started its garbage sorting system in 2012.

B．Students have to take waste-sorting classes in school.

C．There is still a lot of work to be done in this area.

D．Landfills are a common method of getting rid of garbage.

【5】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．Where we can bury our waste.

B．Why we should sort our garbage properly.

C．What kinds of waste can pollute the environment.

D．How some kinds of waste can be reused and recycled.

27、   The secret of the aroma

What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed（展示）at the entrance? Or the soft background music?

But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is provided as an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.

A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intention to purchase increased by 80 percent.

When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.

Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.

Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.

【1】According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of somebrand stores?

A.Unique scents. B.Friendly assistant.

C.Soft background music D.Attractive window display.

【2】E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______.

A.show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores

B.urge shop assistants to change their attitude

C.push stores to use sights and sounds

D.introduce the rise of e-commerce

【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.The sport goods company once found an 80 percent increase in purchase.

B.For stores in Paris, the smell is more important than the window displays.

C.Both the E-commerce and the real stores focus on the attractiveness of goods.

D.Many famous stores nowadays are trying hard to find the ideal scent.

【4】The main purpose of the passage is to ______.

A.compare and evaluate B.examine and assess

C.argue and discuss D.inform and explain
