24、What do you usually do in your spare time? Chatting online is now a national pastime(消遣) in China, especially among the post-90s and post-00s generation. To some people, however, online chats can seem like a kind of polite conversation. Yet hidden rules do exist(存在), as long as you take the time to look for them.

Get to the Point

When sending a friend request, include your real name and any other identifying(身份辨别) information. Remember, everybody’s time is valuable. If there’s something you want, cut right to the chase. Never send an “Are you there?” without any follow-up messages. The quicker that you get to the point, the more likely the other person is to reply.

Send the Right Things

Please send texts, not voice messages. It might be easier for you to speak than type, but what about the person on the other end? They may be unable to listen to a 59-second message right now. Also, never send information by voice message—it is hard to note down. Emojis(表情符号) and GIFs can save the day when you find yourself in an embarrassing conversation, or words fail you.

Try to Understand

You can always judge a person’s mood by their text messages. If the person you’re talking to says “Good night” or “I’m going to take a shower.” that’s probably not what they’re actually going to do. It is just an excuse to stop talking to you. If someone waits for longer than three seconds before saying “Yes”, they probably really mean “No”. If you receive these emojis from friends who are older, read them literally (照字面地) (such as a smile or a wave). For the post-90s and post-00s generation, however, they could be speechlessness(无语).

【1】What may the underlined sentence mean?

A．Send your real name without any follow-up messages.

B．Tell others what you want without any other useless messages.

C．Send a friend request without any other identifying information.

D．Greet others politely by sending an “Are you there?” with emojis.

【2】What does the word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?

A．personal information

B．voice message

C．emoji

D．GIF

【3】Who will send you a wave to say goodbye according to the passage?

A．The post-80s generation.

B．The post-90s generation.

C．The post-2000s generation.

D．The post-2010s generation.

【4】What is the writer’s opinion about chatting online?

A．The ways you use to chat are the same as your parents.

B．Using too many emojis while chatting will annoy others.

C．Voice messages make it easier for others to understand you.

D．Your text messages on the phone will show what you’re feeling.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Hidden rules in chatting online.

B．Good ways of sending right things.

C．How to understand others through the messages.

D．How to get to the point when you’re chatting online.

25、Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as drink. More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, “the saints of tea” mention Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book described how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.

It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.

Judge the following sentences true(T) or false(F) according to the passage.

【1】It is said that Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink.

【2】The book Cha Jing was written by Lu Yu.

【3】The tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 7th and 8th century.

【4】The tea trade from Western countries to China took place in the 18th century.

【5】The Chinese are the ones who best understand the nature of tea.

26、   You may have seen a talking parrot on a TV show, in a movie, or even in someone's home. The parrot has learned to copy sounds that people make. Birds are not the only animals that can copy the noises they hear. Dolphins, bats, and some apes (猿猴) also copy sounds. Now we can add elephants to this list of copycats (盲目模仿者).

Dr. Joyce Poole is a zoologist. She studies the sounds of elephants. While she was in Kenya, she would hear strange noises made by Mlaika, a 10-year-old elephant, after sunset.

Mlaika lived near a highway. Dr. Poole says, "I could not tell the difference between Mlaika's call and the distant (远处的) truck noise." She and other scientists studied Mlaika's sounds. It turned out that Mlaika was copying the sounds of the trucks driving by. Why would Mlaika copy trucks that she heard going by on the highway? Animals that are able to copy sounds may enjoy practicing new sounds. When they are kept outside of their natural environment, they may copy unusual sounds. That may be why an elephant would copy the sound of a truck.

"Mlaika was not the only copycat elephant," Dr. Poole says. Calimero is a 23-year-old male (雄性的) African elephant. He spent 18 years with two female (雌性的) Asian elephants. Asian elephants make chirping sounds (sounds made by birds) to talk with another. African elephants usually do not make chirping sounds. But Calimero now does. He is copying his Asian elephant friends. Dr. Poole says that elephants need to form bonds with their family and friends. She says, "They make sounds to communicate with each other. When they are separated, they use sounds to keep in touch.”

Parrots, dolphins, humans and elephants show that being copycat is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.

【1】According to the passage, what does Mlaika copy?

A.The sound of people. B.The sounds of trucks. C.The sounds of birds.

【2】Why is Calimero mentioned in the passage?

A.To show the cleverness of African elephants.

B.To introduce a special life skill of Asian elephants.

C.To add another example of copycat elephants.

【3】From Para 4, we can know________.

A.how Asian and African elephants are alike.

B.why the African elephant can make chirping sounds.

C.why the Asian elephants make noises after sunset.

【4】What does underlined word “bonds” mean?

A.发带 B.乐队 C.纽带

【5】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Elephants are also copycats. B.What an elephant can do. C.The sounds of elephants.

27、On Nov 8, Wang Yaping, a female astronaut (宇航员) of Shenzhou XIII, became China’s first and the world’s 16th female space walker. The expected six-month journey in space has left many curious about the differences between male and female astronauts, especially in terms of performing extravehicular (舱外的) activities (EVAs). Except body challenges, female astronauts have special advantages.

Understanding between astronauts is very important for carrying out EVAs, which is based on excellent communication skills. Women are better in communication and language expression, and this helps female astronauts do extravehicular activities, according to Yang Yuguang, head of Space Transportation Committee.

Men and women are different in body size, which also gives women special advantages for spacewalks. “Their generally smaller size is an advantage, as women will be able to control their weight better and perform different kinds of tasks,” Pang told China Daily.

Women in general weigh less, eat less food, use less oxygen(氧气), and therefore require less fuel(燃料) to get into space. An astronaut must weigh between 55 kilograms and 70 kilograms to fit in the cabin (舱) of spacecraft and use less fuel, according to CGIN.

A different body shape requires a different spacesuit. A spacesuit was prepared for Wang’s extravehicular activities, which was lighter than the males’. Designers optimized the pattern of this spacesuit in the lower part area to make it more suitable for astronauts with slimmer bodies.

According to Pang, many studies have found that female astronauts are more suitable for space tasks, and have advantages over male astronauts in qualities such as attention to detail and thinking thoughtfully .

Men do better in shorter-term, goal-oriented (目标导向的) situations while women are better in longer-term habitation-type (居住类) situations, according to National Geographic.

Women’s taking part in EVAs is an important part of space tasks, and we are seeing history thanks to Wang’s bravery, according to Yang.

【1】What do we know about Wang’s extravehicular activities?

A．She is the first ever female space walker.

B．The spacesuit she wore was specially designed.

C．The task was planned to show female’s advantages.

D．She performed some tasks that her male partners couldn’t do.

【2】What does the underlined word “optimize”in Paragraph 5 mean in this passage?

A．make something better

B．make something worse

C．make something colourful

D．make something colourless

【3】Which of the following is an advantage females have over male astronauts?

A．Females have better communication skills.

B．Female bodies are stronger and more smart.

C．Females can be used to the life in space more quickly.

D．Females deal with goal-oriented situations better than males.

【4】What’s the main idea of the article?

A．The challenges female astronauts face during a spacewalk.

B．The difficulty of females doing extravehicular activities.

C．The advantages of females doing extravehicular activities.

D．The preparations for the females to carry out space mission.
