24、Today there are many more fires than in the past. Over 100 000 wildfires burn each year in America. Russia has 20 000 to 35 000 wildfires every year. Australia has on average 60 000 each year. These fires destroy(损害) huge areas of forests and burn hundreds of homes.

Many experts believe there are several reasons for this sudden increase in fires. The first reason is climate(气候)change. Recent weather has been warmer and drier. This leads to dangerous fire conditions. When lightning strikes(发生雷击), dry grass easily catches fire. Hot winds add to the problem. The wind spreads a fire quickly. In 2010, Russia had the hottest and driest summer in a century. In just one month, 500 fires destroyed over 2 000 homes. Some people lost their lives.

Traditional fire-fighting practices are another reason for the increase in fires. In America, firefighters used to quickly put out every fires. They didn’t allow the grass and trees to burn. As a result, today many forests have thicker vegetation(植被). Thicker vegetation means more fuel for fires. Also, without fires from time to time, forests become overcrowded and unhealthy. Some trees are dead. The dead wood then easily catches fire. So surprisingly, America has many more fires today partly because of its past fire-fighting practices.

Scientists now understand that a fire can be a natural part of a healthy forest. As a result, countries like Australia allow more fires to burn naturally. Sometimes, firefighters even start fires to get rid of dead wood. Of course, they carefully control the fires. The fire thins out old trees. This allows sunlight to reach the ground. As a result, fires help new trees to grow. Therefore, if a fire is not a serious threat to people, firefighters may let it burn naturally.

【1】Why did Russia have so many fires in one month in 2010?

A. Because lighting spread a fire.

B. Because there was much fuel for fires.

C. Because there were not enough firefighters. 

D. Because it was unusually hot, dry and windy.

【2】 What is the main idea of paragraph 4?

A. Fires are serious threats to human beings.

B. Fires can play an important role in forests.

C. Australian firefighters don’t put out fires.

D. It’s difficult for firefighters to control the fires.

25、   Max Valverde has designed a special cap to deal with bad hair days. The inventor came up with the super hat for people to solve the problem, who wake up with a loose hairstyle in the morning.

The morning-head invention is shaped just like a shower cap. It is made of an absorbent material that acts like a sponge (海绵) when it is placed under a tap. It can wet hair in seconds. Once the hair is wet, it can be dried and combed (梳头) into place without any mess.

Mr Valverde said, “I shower every night, and every morning I wake up with terrible bed hair. I would either have to take another shower, which was wasteful and taking much time, or wet my hair in the sink, which never really worked properly and made a mess."

After wetting my hair in the sink for more than ten years, I spent a weekend trying to find a most effective way to wet the hair and cure the bed head. I needed to find a material that could hold a lot of water and then release that water when pressure was applied. You add water to the inner of the cap and wait a couple of seconds for that water to be taken in by the cap. You then put it on your head, rub it around for a few seconds and your hair is then wet as if you just toweled off after a shower.

The main users of the cap are people who shower at night, parents getting their kids ready for school, and people riding motorcycles or bicycles. It can also be used on people who take naps and people with hat hair.

【1】Why did Max Valverde design the cap?

A.To keep track of fashion. B.To deal with a bad hairstyle.

C.To save money of having hair cut. D.To improve people’s memory.

【2】What's the special about the cap?

A.It looks like a shower cap. B.It is intended for lazy men.

C.It can wet hair without water. D.It's made of sponge material.

【3】According to Mr Valverde, ________.

A.he was too busy to wash his hair regularly

B.it took him ten years to create the morning-head cap

C.he would like to give people the caps for free

D.the cap can comb the hair within seconds

【4】The last paragraph mainly shows us ______.

A.the different sizes of the cap B.the advantages of the cap

C.the users of the cap D.the price of the cap

【5】How does the writer develop the text?

A.By asking questions. B.By listing reasons.

C.By giving an example. D.By comparing data.

27、Early in the 16th century men were trying to reach Asia by travelling west from Europe. In order to find Asia, they had to find a way past South America. The man who finally found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean was Ferdinand Magellan (麦哲伦).

Magellan sailed from Seville in August 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending very cold winter on the coast (海岸) of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan’s Strait (海峡). In November 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America.

They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines (菲律宾), men were dying of hunger. While they were staying in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle (战斗). The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail round Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellan’s expedition (远征). However, their achievement was great. They were the first men to sail round the world.

【1】The purpose of Magellan’s expedition was   .

A. to sail round the world

B. to make a journey to Asia by water

C. to find a channel from the Atlantic to the Pacific

D. to carry men to the Philippines

【2】The time Magellan’s Strait was discovered was   .

A. in August 1519   B. in October 1520

C. in November 1520   D. not mentioned

【3】The number of the ships lost on the whole expedition was   .

A. two   B. four   C. three   D. five

【4】Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage about the expedition?

A. Not having enough medicine.   B. Very cold winter in Patagonia.

C. The death of Magellan.   D. Dangers from rocks and storms.

【5】The best title for this passage is “   ”.

A. The discovery of Magellan’s Strait

B. The discovery of the Philippines

C. The most dangerous expedition in navigation

D. The first expedition to Asia

28、When more and more very best students have chosen universities in Hong Kong; even the students of Beijing decide on HK University while 【1】 up the nearby Beijing or Qinghua University; when the enrollment rate (录取率) of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s time to ask where the real education heaven (天堂) for students in China is.

Years ago, the answer certainly would be "Beijing or Qinghua University". But now no one could give the answer 【2】 thinking twice. It’s sure that mainland students show great 【3】 in HK universities. This is called HK craze (狂热). Even the HK universities 【4】 surprised by this craze. They never expect that they can come before Beijing and Qinghua University.

  How can HK universities interest so many mainland students? First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship (奖学金), especially for the top students. Since some families find it a little 【5】 to afford higher education, it’s easy to understand why HK universities are their first choices. Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual (双语) education. Both Chinese and English are 【6】 in class. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students. Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have more 【7】 to study abroad as exchange students. 

  Can mainland top universities like Beijing or Qinghua University be calm as before 【8】 facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they do anything to win back the top students who once helped them be worldwide famous?

Actually, the strong competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for the improvement of China’s education. There is no doubt that the universities in mainland can do 【9】 in university education after awakening (觉醒) and taking actions.
