1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Studying at a girl’s school, we seldom see boys. But in September, we got a chance to dance and talk with boys. In the morning, all of the girls discussed this activity.

But when the boys came, we stopped immediately. After a welcome speech, the first activity took place: find a boy partner and learn five things about each other. 1. At first, the situation was so embarrassing that nobody moved. Gradually, some people started talking. “Would you like to be my partner?” the boy next to me said. “Sure,” I replied. We stood together and asked each other questions like “what’s your name?” After we took the first step, the rest was easier. 2. 让我惊讶的是，我们有许多共同点。We both like British singer Ed Sheeran. Also, English is our favorite subject. The most exciting part is dancing. The teacher taught boys and girls separately (分别). We all smiled and studied hard. 3. The lesson didn’t last long, as we had to practice with our partners. I felt my heart beating so fast. 4. 老实说，这是我第一次握一个男孩的手。I made many mistakes even with the simplest steps, but my partner never blamed (责怪) me. My palms (手心) got sweaty (出汗的). My partner said, “Don’t be nervous. I will lead you.” His palms were big and warm. I began to calm down and enjoy dancing. 5. At the dance, we built good relationships with the boys and our teachers encouraged us to do so. I really like this type of activity.

Long ago, there was a queen who lived in a palace. She felt bored and said to her advisor(顾问 ), “AIl the things around me are too boring. I need a different kind of beauty. Let everyone know that I will hold a competition for the most beautiful thing in the world. And the prize will be this crown (王冠).”

Several days later, lots of people came to the competition and showed their things. The queen was not satisfied with what she saw. The advisor suggested, “What you are looking for cannot be brought to you. You must look for it by yourself. What about a journey?”

The queen was interested in the idea, so she started immediately. As she was on top of the hill near her palace, she looked down and suddenly something cried in her heart. “Why have I never found my palace so beautiful?”

The queen spent one year travelling. She saw beauty on the farm, in the forest and even in the stars twinkling(闪烁)at night on her journey. But what was the most beautiful thing? She thought it over. Suddenly, she understood beauty was everywhere. She should learn to enjoy the world. She left the pieces of her crown at different places that she had seen. As time went by, the queen’s crown got smaller and smaller until nothing was left.

She found the most beautiful thing at last. It was the world!

25、  

What is the best way to help control air pollution in our towns and cities? Choose public transportation instead of private cars, or reduce the total amount of cars on the street. These can be useful. But here is a more creative way—write a poem.

  "I write in praise of air. I was six or five, when a magician opened my fist(拳头), and I held in my hand the whole of the sky."

  Professor Tony Ryan (the science expert) and Professor Simon Armitage(the words expert), from the  University of Sheffield, UK, came up with the idea.

  But in fact, the poem is not the key part. It is the poster that the poem was written on that plays the biggest part. The poster is 10 meters by 20 meters. It is coated with nanoparticles(纳米粒) of titanium dioxide (二氧化钛). It can absorb the waste from around 20 cars each day if you put it by a busy road. The poster is now displayed on one of the University of Sheffield's buildings.

  It doesn't get rid of all the pollutants from traffic, but it will eat up things called nitrogen oxides (氧化氮). These play a part in breathing problems, including asthma(哮喘).

  The technology is cheap. "It would add less than £100 to the cost of a poster and would turn advertisements into catalysts(催化剂) in more ways than one," Ryan told the BBC.

  He's also working on another idea, which is to add the nanoparticles to washing powder, so that your clothes soak up these poisons while you walk along. And you wouldn't be able to see or feel anything different.

【1】Why can the poem help control air pollution?

A.Because it can warn people of the dangers of pollution.

B.Because the poster that the poem was written on is special.

C.Because it has pictures that explain air pollution.

D.Because Professor Tony Ryan and Professor Simon Armitage are famous.

【2】Which of the following is NOT true of the poster?

A.It is 10 meters by 20 meters.

B.It is coated with nanoparticles.

C.It can absorb the waste from cars.

D.It's widely used in the UK.

【3】From the last two paragraphs, we learn that  .

A.the technology costs too much

B.it would make advertisements cheaper

C.washing powder may one day soak up poisons

D.you would feel different wearing the clothes

26、On November 15, 2022, the United Nations（UN）reported that the number of people on Earth had grown to eight billion（8,000,000,000）. That came just 11 years after the world reached seven billion people. The world faces challenges ahead as the population continues to grow.

The world’s population—the number of people on the planet—has grown rapidly over the last 200 years. In 1805, for the first time ever, the Earth had a billion people on it. It took over 100 years（in 1925）for that number to double（翻番）to two billion. In less than 50 years, it had doubled again to four billion. Now, again in less than 50 years, the number has doubled once more to eight billion.

How fast local populations are growing depends a lot on where you are in the world. Typically, as countries become richer, their population growth slows. In some countries, like Japan, the number of people is actually becoming smaller. The greatest population growth these days is found in Asia and Africa. Currently, China, with a population of 1.4 billion, is the country with the most people. That’s expected to change in the next year, when experts say India will pass China as the country with the world’s largest population.

As the population grows, the world faces the increased challenges of how to feed, educate, and meet the medical needs of everyone on the planet. This is not easy because populations are growing most quickly in poorer countries. One reason the world’s population is growing is that, in general, people are living longer than they used to. In some countries, this could present a challenge, with more and more older people, but fewer young people to support them.

All in all, even though the world’s population continue to grow, ▲ . It’s impossible to say exactly what will happen in the future, but the rate of growth is expected to keep slowing down. By 2050, the UN expects the Earth to have about 9.7 billion people. Experts say that by 2100, the planet’s population could level off at about 10.4 billion people.

【1】According to Paragraph 2, the world population grew most rapidly from ______ to ______.

A．1705;1805

B．1805; 1925

C．1925; 1974

D．1974; 2022

【2】Paragraph 4 is mainly about _______ the population growth.

A．the reasons for

B．the advice to stop

C．the differences in

D．the problems caused by

【3】From the passage, we can know ________.

A．the world population reached 7 billion in 2020

B．the population in Japan is growing fast these years

C．India will be the country with the most people in 2023

D．populations are growing more slowly in poorer countries these days

【4】Which of the following can be put in ▲ in the last paragraph?

A．it will surely stop growing soon

B．it’s growing more slowly than before

C．humans are living much longer than before

D．humans will need to change the way they live
