24、   The label(标签), Made in China, is one that is becoming increasing common in shopping centers all over the world.

In the United States, shoppers at Wal-mart, the nation’s largest retailer(零售商), have a wide selection(选择) of products mostly produced in China. The large amount of Chinese imports(进口) have created a large selection of goods in other countries as people begin to buy more and more products made in China. These goods are even widely available(可获得的) in other Asian nations, where Chinese-made goods are quite popular. Chinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside China.

When Chinese Americans visit family and friends in their homeland, gifts from the U.S. are a must. But TVs and fashionable clothes aren’t rare(稀少的) any more, and anything ‘Made in China’ shouldn’t be considered in any case(无论如何).

“When I decide to visit my family members in China. I will have a big headache. What should I buy for them? They may not all speak English, but everyone in China knows those three words, “a Chinese American said."When they see the label ‘Made in China’, they will think, ‘Why do you send me this?’”

The development of China has surprised the world with its growth. As a result, the other countries are beginning to try to reduce Chinese goods with the use of taxes(税)and import restrictions(限制). However, the development on the Chinese economy still affects the world in many ways.

【1】Around the world, the products made in China are _____ in the shopping malls.

A.unwelcome B.expensive C.popular D.rare

【2】What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “brand” in the second paragraph?

A.品牌 B.明星 C.生产地 D.树枝

【3】Why do Chinese Americans usually have a headache if they come back to China?

A.Because they should give their friends rare gifts.

B.Because their Chinese friends can not speak English.

C.Because they should give their friends fashionable gifts.

D.Because their friends will be unhappy if the gifts are made in China.

【4】How do other countries try to reduce the Chinese goods in their own countries?

A.By importing more Chinese goods.

B.By using taxes and import restrictions.

C.By developing the qualities of their own products.

D.By telling their shoppers not to buy Chinese goods.

25、Millions of British people have ditched the traditional “thank you” and took the place of it with the less formal(正式的) “cheers”, according to a survey.

Although the common person will say “thank you” nearly 5,000 times a year, one in three are more likely to add a “cheers” or “ta” where it’s needed to show they are fashionable.

One in twenty now say “nice one” instead, while the younger are more likely to offer a “cool” than a “thank you”.

“Merci”, “fab” and even “gracias” were also listed as common expressions to use, as “much appreciated(感激)”.

One in twenty who took part in the survey of 2,000 people by the Food Network UK for Thank You Day, which is marked on November 24, 2011, said a formal “thank you” was now not often needed in everyday conversation. More than one in ten adults said they regularly(有规律地) won’t say thank you if they are in a bad mood. Most people stated(陈述) that saying thank you was something that their parents trained them. A huge 70 percent of those who are questioned will say thank you to a person’s face without even meaning it, while one fifth avoid(避免)saying it when they know they should.

It seems our friends and family get the stress of our bad manners. Half of them admit (承认) they’re not good at thanking those closest to them. Many of them explain that they don’t say thank you because their family “already know I’m thankful”.

When spoken words won’t do, it falls to a nice text to do the job for most people.

One third will still send a handwritten thank-you note---but 45 percent admit it’s been more than six months since they tried to send one.

  A quarter of British people say “thank you” with food, with 23 percent cooking a meal to show their appreciation to someone. Another 15 percent make a cake.

It follows that 85 percent of people will be angry because of not getting the gratitude (感激)they feel they should receive.

【1】 Most of the people who took part in the survey say that they say “thank you” _______.

A. when they are in good mood

B. completely out of habit

C. when they feel truly grateful

D. purely out of politeness

【2】The underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.

A. gave up   B. used C. shared D. knew

【3】 It can be learned from the passage that _______.

A. different ways of expressing gratitude are all fashionable

B. people should avoid saying “thank you” nowadays

C. a thank-you note is still appreciated by many people

D. people in a bad mood never say “thank you”

【4】 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Most people express their gratitude to others by buying food for them.

B. About fifty percent of people try not to say thank you when they should.

C. Most people may feel natural when they fail to receive others’ gratitude.

D. Many people think it unnecessary to say thanks to their family members.

26、There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy. One way is the greater production of common energy sources(能源), such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.

Another way is energy conservation(节能), which means using energy more efficiently(有效地). In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.

Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometre down. At six kilometres, therefore, t rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped(压;抽)down into the ocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.

【1】The writer tells about the "special houses" because they __________

A. show the excellent skills of the builders

B. serve as an example of energy conservation

C. are heated by different sources of energy

D. are warmer than other types of houses

【2】The underlined words geothermal energy in the third paragraph mean________

A. renewable source

B. underground source

C. heat inside the earth

D. temperature of the earth

【3】At a place where the surface temperature is 15℃, how deep do you have to dig so as to get a temperature of 75℃?

A. One km. B. Two km.

C. Three km.   D. Four km.

27、Tahiti is the largest island of the French Polynesia in the South Pacific (太平洋). It covers 1,045 square kilometers and has a population of 183,600. The weather there is neither too hot nor too cold. It’s always warm and humid (潮湿的).

Tahitian people are very friendly and welcoming. They welcome visitors with music, dance and flowers. The Tiare Tahiti flower, which can only be found in Tahiti, is used for greeting arriving visitors and returning family. It’s popular for women and men to wear the flowers behind their left ears.

In Tahiti, there are always a lot of things to do and to see. Around the island are hundreds of places perfect for diving (潜水). In the waters, you can meet all kinds of colorful fish and many other living things that you can’t name. Feeding sharks is another exciting popular activity. You can stand in the water behind a safe rope to watch a shark trainer hand-feed the sharks, or enjoy this fantastic scene from the boat. If you want to find a place to swim, have a sun bath or admire the beautiful sunset, Pointe Venus Lighthouse, is a great choice. It is a black sand beach.

In the evening, you can have Tahitian food, Chinese food and French-style dishes at To’ata, a square with many small restaurants. All kinds of fruit juice can be found everywhere. Some hotels in Tahiti are built above the waters. Beautiful fish swimming below can be seen through the glass floor or coffee table. They are really wonderful places to relax and refresh you.

Tahiti, an amazing place to do everything or nothing at all, is waiting for you.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示，不正确的用“B”表示。

【1】Tahiti, the largest island in the world, has pleasant weather.

【2】Tahitian people use flowers to greet arriving visitors.

Suddenly, she shouted, “Mom, look, the trees are behind us!” Her voice was so 【2】 that everyone on the train heard. Mom smiled. 【3】 a young couple who were sitting nearby looked at the young woman’s childish（孩子气的）behaviour with pity. “Poor girl. There must be something wrong with her 【4】.” they thought.

A few minutes later, the young woman shouted 【5】. “Mom, look! The clouds are running with us!” Mom smiled again. And she seemed very happy with her daughter’s 【6】 that she said just now. Finally, the couple couldn’t help asking the old woman, “Sorry if we offend（冒犯）you. But why don’t you 【7】 your daughter to a good doctor?” The old woman smiled and said, “Actually, we have just come from a hospital.” “Then you should go to a 【8】 one. Because it seems that your daughter’s situation（状况）hasn’t improved.” said one of them. “No, in fact I’m very happy with the treatment（治疗）.” said the mother, “My daughter was blind from birth.
