25、   Ever since the invention of the e-reader came into being, book-lovers everywhere have been debating which is better — the e-book or the traditional paper book. Can the prices of paper books compete with the low prices of e-books? Does the convenience of e-books compare with the feeling of a real book in your hands?

When I was young, I really loved reading paper books. With the rapid development of the technology, e-books have become very popular. As a result, I personally enjoy both with many good reasons.

1. E-books are more convenient to carry around.

If you’re like me, before going on a vacation, the hardest part packing may be choosing what books to bring. Your suitcase can only hold some of the books you like. What if you finish those before your vacation is over? Or what if you get bored with them and want to read something else? With an e-reader, you never have to worry about these kinds of problems, which carries around thousands of books all on a device that weights than a pound.

2. E-books are more effectively to read.

Since e-books can show the words in different sizes and even read the books to us, it has the advantage for people who might have a hard time reading or people with poor eyesight. People can also choose how many words to display on one line or how much space there is between lines according to their personal preferences. This allows those with reading disabilities to read more effectively.

3. Paper books help with readers' understanding.

Though e-books may be easier and faster to read, studies show paper books are better for understanding. According to a study by James Madison University, readers are more likely to skim e-books than paper books, which leads to less understanding of the content. Paper books allow readers to read slowly and deeply which give readers more chances to think over and understand more.

4. Paper books help with readers' sleep.

Studies also show the light from some e-books causes sleeping problems. The bright screens of e-readers can cause people to take longer to fall asleep or in some cases insomnia. Paper books don't cause these problems. So, if you' re a person who can't easily fall asleep or has problems with insomnia, paper books have the advantage.

In a word, both e-books and paper books have their advantages. So, as for the beginning question, "Which is better — the e-book or the traditional paper book? I don't think there's a right answer. As for me, I say, why not both?

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A.E-books help readers solve the problem of packing by displaying more words on one line.

B.E-books help readers with reading disabilities by showing more interesting storybooks.

C.Paper books help readers understand more by giving readers more chances to think.

D.Paper books help readers with sleeping problems by wider space between lines.

【2】What does the underlined word "insomnia" mean?

A.An inability to sleep. B.An inability to wake up.

C.An ability to sleep. D.An ability to wake up.

【3】Which of the following will the writer mostly take on vacation?

A.Some paper books that are easier to finish.

B.One thick paper book to keep his vacation longer.

C.An e-reader to keep away from boring chatting.

D.Both an e-reader and his favorite paper books.

27、

Chinese astronauts gave a science lesson to millions of students on Dec 9, 2021. They did so from 400 kilometers above Earth, from the Tiangong space station. The three, Zhai Zhigang. Wang Yuping and Ye Guangfu, showed life in space and did experiments in gravity.

“It was the first lesson of the Tiangong class, China’s first in space.” noted China Daily. “Its purpose is to make more people know space science.”

“The lab of the space station has many conditions that the Earth lab does not have, such as the environment of weightlessness and radiation (辐射).” Wen Xin, a professor at University, told Xinhua. He said that important jobs for astronauts in the space station include research of cell growth and plant life.

In the lesson, Ye did experiments that had to do with cell growth in a weightless environment. He compared the growth and shape of cells in artificial (人工的) gravity and zero gravity to study their changing rules in space. This was not the first time that China has tried to grow plants in space. As early as 2016, Chinese scientists grew rice on the Tiangong Ⅱ space lab to study how plants grow without an Earth-like environment.

Another experiment in the space lesson was shown by Wang Yaping. She showed how a paper flower “bloomed” on the surface of water in Tiangong space station. She explained that the surface tension (张力) of water becomes stronger in space because of zero gravity. Surface tension is like a “skin” of water. One of the examples of surface tension on Earth is that some insects can walk on water. Most of the time, gravity is too strong and it breaks the “skin”. But with zero gravity in space, some insects can use surface tension to “stand” instead of falling through water. Surface tension plays a key role in product development. Researchers are measuring surface tension to improve the quality of their products. Detergent (洗涤剂) effect can be improved with even lower amounts. Surface tension also has influence in medicine development.

Although the astronauts are thousands of miles away, their research really influence our life. Shi Yi, a teacher, told China Daily that the space lesson was “an eye-opening experience that would attract more students to study science”.

【1】What do we know about the science lesson?

A．Its goal is to study the cell growth in space.

B．It aims at the use of zero gravity in space.

C．It only showed experiments in artificial gravity.

D．It was the first lesson from China’s space station.

【2】Ye’s experiment is mainly about ________.

A．Ways to study the rules of cell growth.

B．How to better develop space-grown plants.

C．How cells grow in a weightless environment.

D．Differences between artificial gravity and zero gravity

【3】What can we learn about from water surface tension from the passage?

A．It always gets stronger when increases.

B．It makes insects fall through water in space.

C．It helps plants to grow better in space.

D．It can help to make better detergents.

【4】What’s the best title for the passage?

A．Tiangong space station

B．Special teachers from space

C．A science lesson in space

D．A study of weightlessness

28、The pyramids of Giza are one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. They were b【1】 more than 4,000 years ago in Egypt. They are so p【2】 that millions of tourists from around the world come to visit them every year.

In Egypt, there are about 110 pyramids and the l【3】 one is the Pyramid of Khufu. It l【4】 on the west bank of the Nile. In fact, all the pyramids along the Nile are on the west bank. The ancient Egyptians compared the rising of the sun to the beginning of life and the setting of the sun to the end of life. That is w【5】 their dead bodies were buried on the west bank of the Nile.

You can h【6】 imagine how huge the Pyramid of Khufu is. It has over 2 million blocks. Some are as heavy as a school bus. A【7】 they were heavy, workers were able to put a block into the pyramid every three minutes.

The workers, Egyptian men and women, worked in teams. The teams had different t【8】. Some dug up the stones. Others moved them. Another team cut the stones. The last group put the stones into the pyramid. There were so many different teams, but the pyramid is perfect. No stone is in the w【9】 position.

But how did the Egyptians move those heavy stones to the top w【10】 any modern machinery (机械)? No one knows for sure. Many things about the Pyramid of Khufu are still a mystery.
