24、Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners， but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.

Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memorycan be improved. If you’ll just accept that， the following will show you how.

First， relax. If you are over worried about remembering something， you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad， your mind will come to believe it and you won’tremember things. When you forget something， don’t follow up with sayings like “Oh， my God! Ialways forget things!” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.

But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory， you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body， your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example， if you’re learning a language， try to actively remember a lot of newwords.

If you don’t take notice of things actively， you won’t remember them. So， you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example， don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again， make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.

25、   When the musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat.But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tips to guide you．

●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want,give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want．

●Think about the time you call people.Try not to call too early in the morning（before about 9:00）or too late at night（after about 9:30）. Also try not to call at mealtimes．

●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions.Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival．

●When face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone. It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop.

●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other people around you.Check that your phone is “off” before you enter. If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on “vibrate”（振动）and run for the exit as soon as you feel it. If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phone rings, don’t answer it, turn it off straight away.

26、

You may have heard the saying “The Yangtze River is China’s mother river.” The main route of the Yangtze is almost 6,400 km long. As the world’s third-longest river, its valley(流域)covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone covers 11 provinces and cities, making up about 40 percent of China’s total population and GDP.

On Dec 26, China’s top legislature(立法机关)passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which will work on March 1, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China, CGTN noted.

The “mother river” is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, the river’s Chinese paddlefish(白鲟)has died out after surviving for 150 million years because of overfishing and water pollution. There’re also desertified(荒漠化的) land and soil pollution near the upstream part of the river in Qinghai province, Xinhua reported.

The Yangtze River Protection Law includes bans(禁止)on activities that could have terrible influence on the river. It also includes heavier punishments for those who don’t follow the law.

According to the law, fishing will be banned in all of the Yangtze’s natural waterways, including its major tributaries(支流)and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined 50,000 to 500,000 yuan.

Sand mining(采沙)will be strictly limited in the river valley. Many companies are mining sand along the river, as sand is a rare resource. However, this has led to lower water levels on the river, which has caused the river’s water quality to become worse.

Companies operating along the river will turn to green development. Companies that produce dangerous chemicals will move out, the law says.

【1】What does the first paragraph tell us about the Yangtze River?

A．How old it is.

B．How important it is.

C．What problems it has.

D．What its environment is like.

【2】The following are the reasons that the “mother river” is in great need of protection, except________.

A．because there is overfishing

B．because it’s the third longest river in the world

C．because of the water pollution

D．because of the soil pollution near its upstream

【3】What can we know from the passage?

A．People can’t fish in the river’s major lakes.

B．Sand mining will not be allowed in the river valley.

C．Companies along the river will be moved to other places.

D．Anyone who causes pollution will be fined at least 50,000 yuan.

【4】This passage is most probably from________.

A．an advertisement

B．a fashion magazine

C．a newspaper

28、   Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a rich country. One day, he went on a t【1】 to some distant(遥远的)areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the f【2】 time that he had gone on such a long trip, and the road that he went t【3】 was very rough and stony.
