24、When most people think of the Olympics, they don’t think of science. But in the USA, each year, students take part in a kind of competition called the Science Olympiad.

It has a lot of different events. Students go there to show how much they know about the science of music, biology, chemistry and others. My best event is forestry (森林学). This time, I went to the Olympiad with my school’s team. We had worked hard, but this was the state competition. It would be hard to win.

The Olympiad was out of town, so we got to ride on a bus and stay in a hotel for a night. The Olympiad was in three big rooms. When we got there, we set up our team’s “camp” off to one side. The big day had come at last! First, I went to watch the tower building competition. That’s when students build small towers and put heavy things on top of it. They hope they can hold them up. One of my schoolmates was putting things on her tower. She was nervous, and in the end it was too heavy for her tower to hold it—it broke! I felt bad for her. After lunch, I helped some teammates with their events. One was geography, and the other was history. I don’t know much about those things, so I just watched my teammates do most of the work. At last, it was time for my favorite event—forestry. Another student was also in the forestry event. The rules were easy. We had to look at more than 40 different kinds of leaves and find out which plants they were from. We also had to answer some questions about the uses of each leaf. I knew almost all of the leaves and could answer most of the questions. I had spent more than a month studying on the Internet to get ready. At the end, it was time for the awards (颁奖), I was nervous, because the forestry awards were last. We won second place in the whole state! A nice man gave me a medal and smiled at me.

I had a great time at the Science Olympiad. I can’t wait for next year!

25、   The book Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is very welcomed by the children in China. Why is the book so popular to children? After reading it, I was attracted by the magic world. I can not help asking: where is our own Harry Potter? China has a long history and colorful culture. With a large market of teenagers, China published(出版)many popular books among children. However, why are the present books not as good as those foreign ones?

Firstly, quite a number of children's books are focused on teaching, and they aren't interesting. Reading them, children often have a feeling of being "educated". Certainly, they don't like them. Secondly, fewer children like the same stories, but most Chinese books are usually the same. One knows the ending as early as in the beginning. Finally, the writers seldom think about children's needs. I think the first-class reading for children should be interesting, and written in their language.

【1】About the present Chinese children's books, which is NOT right?

A.They have little interest value. B.Our writers seldom know children's needs.

C.Most of them are the same. D.They are better than foreign ones.

【2】The underlined phrase "first-class" means ________.

A.very simple B.low level C.really good D.quite difficult

【3】"Where is our own Harry Potter?" refers to ________.

A.the writer can't find any books for children

B.Chinese parents should buy Harry Potter for their children

C.our children should learn from Harry Potter

D.Chinese writers should write better books for children

【4】The passage mainly tells us ________.

A.ways to read books B.our children need better books

C.ways to choose books D.our children need another magic boy

26、Nowadays the intelligent parcel lockers like Hive Box started to play an important role in most of the deliveries in our life.

Before the introduction of intelligent parcel lockers, although a large part of the delivery process started to use machines and technologies, last-mile delivery mainly depends on couriers. With the increase in the number of express orders, there are more problems such as shortage of couriers and too much work pressure. At the same time, because of different locations and the uncertainty of the picking time as well as other factors, the efficiency of couriers was very low. What’s worse, second deliveries often occurred. Under such situation, intelligent parcel lockers were put into use. They greatly improve users’ experience and delivery efficiency.

However, some serious problems actually impede the development of it. That’s why it doesn’t develop as fast as we expect. Installation cost of the lockers at the early stage is expensive. Although the free storage with no time limit once attracted a large member of users, such kind of method is not practical in the long run and has caused losses these years.

Take Hive Box, the leading company as well as China’s largest self-service parcel locker operator in this industry, as an example. In 2019, the intelligent parcel lockers of the Hive Box led a wide-spread debate. Because the locker put up a notice that tried to let the users pay 1 RMB to get their parcels without informing in advance. On April 30, 2020, Hive Box began a membership system. It also caused dissatisfaction.

It seems that the intelligent parcel lockers industry has been exploring its way to get more profits and reduce losses, but so far, there has been no perfect solution. So reformation and more studies should be done to guide it to the correct path to a better development.

【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? ________

A．How the intelligent parcel lockers worked.

B．How the intelligent parcel lockers came out.

C．What problems intelligent parcel lockers met.

D．What advantages the intelligent parcel lockers had.

【2】What does the underlined word “impede” probably mean? ________

A．Stop.

B．Improve.

C．Slow.

D．Help.

【3】Why does the writer mention Hive Box? ________

A．To attract people to use Hive Box more often.

B．To show Hive Box is the biggest company in the industry.

C．To prove how difficultly the intelligent parcel lockers develop.

D．To explain why people don’t like Hive Box’s membership system.

【4】According to the passage, the future of the intelligent parcel lockers is ________.

A．different

B．hopeful

C．promising

D．worrying
