24、Thirty years ago, Lake Ponkapog in Hartwell, New Jersey, was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals, and fish.

The lake water is polluted (污染的). It is in a color of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.

How does this happen? First we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around. In the past there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog so the rain water was clean.

Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use chemicals (化学品) in their gardens. They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning or killing insects (昆虫). There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in their machines or shops. Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or trucks. When it rains, the rain water picks up all the chemicals from homes and businesses and then carries them into the lake. They pollute the water and kill the animals.

Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats. But oil and gas (油和汽)  from boats often get into the lake. So more bad chemicals go into the water this way.

People in Hartwell are worried. They love their lake and want to save it. Will it be possible? A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are more careful about chemicals at home and at work. They must also be more careful about gas and oil and other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn't use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people's lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again.

【1】In the past, the water in Lake Ponkapog was made clean by ______.

A. forests   B. rain   C. birds   D. fish

【2】Chemicals from homes and businesses ______.

A. are always clean

B. can help the animals

C. are good for the lake

D. get into the rainwater

【3】Cleaner rainwater will mean ______.

A. more boats on the lake

B. more dirty things in the lake

C. a cleaner lake

D. a dirtier lake

【4】To save Lake Ponkapog, people need to ______.

A. be more careful about chemicals

B. use less water

C. grow fewer plants in the gardens

D. use more motorboats on the lake

【5】The passage is about ______.

A. boats on Lake Ponkapog

B. why the water is dirty in Lake Ponkapog

C. clean rainwater

D. dirty lakes

26、When I was fourteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like many English children, I had often been to France. So when I went to America I thought I would have a nice easy holiday without any language problems.

How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to tell my American friend Danny that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.

“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”

“Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married? But aren’t you too young?”

“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box?”

“Oh,” he said, “there is a phone downstairs.”

When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.

“Don’t worry.” he said to me. I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which Americans use differently in meaning from British people. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other.”

27、How do money problems influence our social life? Do we simply stop going out and enjoying ourselves? And, if we do stop going out, are there any other ways to party?

Psychologists say that having fun with close friends and family is very important to our mental health. Last Christmas, Yorkshire Bank, UK did a survey to see how people were planning to celebrate the festive season when they had not much money to spend. They found that eight out of ten Britons preferred an invitation to a house party to a night out in a bar or club.

So, the question is, how can we throw a party without spending all our money? Easy just read our “hot tips”:

Hot Tip #1 Careful planning

“It’s all in the planning,” claim party experts. If you plan the number of guests and the menu with prices in mind, it won’t be expensive. Remember, in this situation, less is more-the fewer guests you invite, the lower your costs will be. Equally, if you hold the party in your own home, it’ll be even cheaper for everyone. Going to pubs or clubs will be too expensive. Also, if you buy a few candles and simple decorations, you’ll be able to create a bar scene in your own front room.

Hot Tip #2 Shop intelligently

One of the biggest costs is the food and drink. If you shop efficiently, you will spend less money on them. In big supermarkets, you often have “three for the price of two” food offers. You can also pick up alcohol (酒) quite cheaply if you look for deals. If you host a party, people won’t require a three-course meal-a simple spread of crisps, olives and dips (调味酱) is enough.

Hot Tip #3 Caring is sharing

Don’t be scared to ask your guests to bring something. If you invite close friends, they’ll be happy to contribute. For example, you could ask someone to bring some snacks and someone else to bring cups. After all, the idea is to get your nearest and dearest together in honour of friendship and good times.

So what are you waiting for? Find an excuse to celebrate and start sending out those invitations. But remember, save yourself some money, get creative and don’t do everything yourself.

【1】The survey was done to find out _________.

A．where people could shop efficiently on Christmas

B．what stopped people going out and having fun

C．how people without much money celebrated Christmas

D．why Britons wanted to have a night out in a bar or club

【2】Yorkshire Bank surveyed 1,000 people, how many of them preferred a house party?

A．8

B．18

C．80

D．800

【3】According to the hot tips, what should we do for a party with less money?

A．Invite as many friends as you can.

B．Ask a friend to bring some snacks.

C．Prepare a three-course meal.

D．Find an excuse to ask for help.

【4】In which part of a newspaper can we probably find this article?

A．Advice page.

B．Shopping tips.

C．Mental health.

D．Medical care.

28、   Why do we use the phrase “杏林高手” (expert in the apricot grove) to describe a highly-skilled doctor. Here is a great story about it.

It’s【1】(say) that the phrase was first used to describe Dong Feng, a talented doctor who lived during the Three Kingdoms period (220-280). Dong was so skillful that he could bring【2】 (die)  people  back to life.  In addition  to his  amazing  skills,  Dong  also had  a kind【3】[hɑːt]. He never asked for  payment from his 【4】(patient). Instead, he asked them to plant apricot( 杏 ) trees in his  orchard( 果园 ) 【5】 they recovered from their illness -  five trees if they were seriously ill, or just one tree if the illness was mild(轻微的).

As  Dong saved  more  people’s  lives, 【6】 number  of  apricot  trees  in his  orchard grew. Over time, it became a large and beautiful grove( 树 林 ). Dong decided that people could come to the grove with grain and exchange it for【7】[freʃ] apricots. Very soon his barn( 谷仓 ) was filled

【8】grain, which Dong then gave away to poor people.

Dong’s story became 【9】(wide) known after he passed away. Doctors in later dynasties( 朝代 ) did the same things Dong did in order to show their【10】[rɪˈspekt] for him. Gradually, people started to use “expert in the apricot grove” to describe doctors who were talented and had strong morals(品行).
