24、Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self­driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.

Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system(远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and looks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.

The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.

About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, head of a research company.

【1】According to the text, living in a “smart” city ______________.

A. is not a green way B. will be far from you

C. will soon become true D. is completely impossible

【2】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. A city of the future. B. A meeting in Songdo.

C. A plan to build a house. D. A report on public health.

【3】Which company offers the great mind to build Songdo?

A. Cisco. B. IBM. C. Siemens. D. Microsoft.

【4】Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to ______________.

A. drive people out of cities B. control the world’s population

C. develop his own company D. solve the cities' coming problems

【5】Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A. Future Education B. Smart Cities

C. Famous Companies D. Government Services

25、   My morning started out as usual. I snoozed (打盹) twice, took care of my three cats, and then raced out the door for my mid-morning appointment.

After I finished my appointment, I was hungry. I stopped at a restaurant to order a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) to take home and eat while working.

Since it was a little before noon, there was a long line waiting for the order. A woman, who I later learned was Marcella, was paying at the register (柜台). She asked the woman behind her in line if she would like a drink and then asked me. We both said no, but she continued to pay for both of our meals—even though we were strangers. I asked Marcella why she did this, and she said that someone once did something similar for her. The person asked that she might pay it forward someday and she was making good on her promise.

Before I left, she gave me a warm hug and asked only that I do an act of kindness for a stranger when I could. I arrived home, but instead of working through lunch, I sat and reflected back on her kindness. Marcella didn't need to pay for my lunch. But she did, and it brightened my day. Not because I got to keep my $15, but because she was kind—and did not want to receive anything in return.

As I promised her, I plan on paying her kindness forward. Maybe, just maybe, I'll make a small difference in someone else's life, and the ripple effect (连锁反应) will continue, because that's what being human is all about—being kind, even to a stranger.

【1】What did Marcella do on that day?

A.She paid for her meal only.

B.She didn't know what to do at the register.

C.She decided to pay for other people's meal on that day.

D.She didn't speak to the author.

【2】What does the underlined phrase "pay it forward" in paragraph 3 mean?

A.Paying for something before buying it.

B.Paying for something but forgetting to take it away.

C.Asking others to pay for you and not paying back.

D.Repaying someone's kindness by doing something kind.

【3】What has the author decided to do?

A.She is going to find the person who bought Marcella's lunch.

B.She will do the same thing and brighten someone else's life.

C.She will continue doing research on the ripple effect.

D.She will find someone else to pay for her dinner.

【4】What is the correct order for the following events?

a. The author finished her appointment.

b. The author stopped at a restaurant to order a burrito.

c. Marcella paid for her lunch.

d. The author snoozed and took care of her three cats.

e. The author decided to pay the kindness forward.

A.d-a-b-c-e B.a-b-c-d-e C.d-b-a-c-b D.d-a-b-e-c

【5】What is the author trying to teach us through this story?

A.Don't accept others' kindness.

B.Don't break your promises.

C.Work hard each day.

D.Be kind to others, even to strangers.

28、先阅读短文，再在其后空白处写出各单词的正确形式，单词的第一个字母已给出。

When I was four years old, I got stung(叮) by a bee, twice one week . After that, I was really scared of bees.

Some scientists think it might be because of chemicals that are used to kill o【4】 insects. What would happen if there were no more bees?

I wanted to help. What if I make lemonade, sell it and r【5】 money to help bees? I talked to my granny, Helen. She gave me her recipe(配方) for lemonade. It came from a cookbook from 1918.

I a【6】 honey to her old recipe that day. I could sell the lemonade and donate some of the money to g【7】 that are helping to save bees. I could also s【8】 local beekeepers by using their honey in my product and I would be educating others on the importance of bees and helping to save them.
