24、   On May 6th, 2020, a 30-member Chinese survey team started the project to measure the height of Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰). Actually it has been measured by many countries. In 1856, a British survey team measured the height of Qomolangma. Their result showed that Qomolangma reached a height of 8,840 meters above sea level. In 1955, the figure (数据) was rewritten by an Indian team to 8,848 meters, and later to 8,850 meters according to a US team in 1999. And in 2005, a Chinese team got a height of 8,844 meters.

It is not an easy task to measure the height of Qomolangma. The average air temperature on the mountain is -29 °C and powerful winds blow all the time. In such extreme conditions, surveying drones (无人机) cannot work at the top of the mountain. That's why it's still necessary to send human experts to the top to get exact results.

Measuring the height of Qomolangma is much more than just getting an exact number. Lying at the place where the Eurasian Plate (板块) meets the Indian Plate, Mount Qomolangma formed 38 million years ago as a result of the two plates hitting, which makes it the perfect window for studying crustal (地壳的) movements. Changes to the mountain's height can suggest whether the two plates are heading toward or away from each other.

The survey team will also get firsthand information about the condition of the snow and other natural materials at the top, which could be a sign of climate change on the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau (青藏高原) .

【1】The latest height of Qomolangma is _________ meters in the passage.

A.8,840 B.8,848 C.8,850 D.8,844

【2】The underlined word " extreme " in paragraph 2 means ________ in Chinese.

A.晴朗的 B.极端的 C.刺激性的 D.清晰的

【3】How did Mount Qomolangma appear?

A.Powerful winds blow strongly all the time.

B.The Eurasian Plate meets the Indian Plate.

C.It is the result of the hitting of the plates.

D.The climate changed on the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau.

【4】What will the writer continue to write in paragraph 4?

A.Comparison (比较) of the information they got.

B.Change of the condition of the snow.

C.Change of other natural materials.

D.Analysis (分析) of the change of the climate.

25、   Imagine this. There's an apple and a piece of cake on a table. Which one would you like? The delicious cake or the healthy apple? A bestseller, Willpower. Rediscovering Our Greatest Strength, suggests that willpower (意志力) is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term, rather than in the short term.

Here is a famous experiment in the book: The Marshmallow Test. In 1972, Professor Walter Mischel tested the willpower of 600 four-year-olds to six-year-olds. In the experiment, each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow (棉花软糖) on a table in front of them. They were given two choices: they could either eat it or, if they waited fifteen minutes, they'd be given a second one (and then they could eat both).

So, what did the kids do? Well, as you can imagine, 70% ate the first marshmallow within fifteen minutes. But the other 30% showed willpower-they controlled themselves and waited for the second marshmallow. But then Mischel discovered something really interesting. Twenty years later, he got in touch with the children, who, by then, were in their early twenties. And he found that those who'd shown strong willpower were getting better marks at university and were more popular.

Willpower is like a muscle (肌肉), and the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.

So if you do daily "self-control exercise", such as making your bed or brushing your teeth, you'll improve your overall willpower. And daily willpower exercises will help you with those bigger goals, such as studying for an exam or training for a marathon.

Be careful though. Just like any muscle, your "willpower muscle" can get tired. If you've had to do lots of things that require willpower, take a break or give yourself a treat.

That way, you'll build up your willpower again.

And one last thing, the writer mentions people who learn foreign languages usually have a lot of willpower. So, congratulations!

【1】How many children got two marshmallows in the Marshmallow Test in 1972?

A．180.

B．240.

【2】In Paragraph 2&3, the famous experiment explains _____.

A．more kids have stronger willpower

B．willpower influences people's lives greatly

C．how people practice children's willpower

D．marshmallows can help improve willpower

【3】The writer probably agrees that _____.

A．all the language learners have stronger willpower

B．willpower can't be improved by doing some daily things

C．young kids don't need to practice willpower like grown-ups

D．people with strong willpower can achieve their goals more easily

26、You can’t always know when there’ll be a heavy rain or when to take an umbrella with you. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather report before going out should cause you to get wet in the rain. That’s why he created the Lampbrella—a lamp post (灯柱)with its own “umbrella”.

The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw people trying to hide from the rain under the street lamps. I thought it would be a good idea to have a Lampbrella built into a street lamp.” he said.

The Lampbrella is a street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy(遮蓬). It has an inside electric motor(电动马达) which can open or close the umbrella freely. The Lampbrella will offer people cover whenever it starts raining. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.

According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a very low speed in order not to cause harm to people. What’s more, it would be grounded to protect from a possible lightning hit. Each Lampbrella would offer enough cover for several people. Being 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest man.

While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production(生产), Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow company, and insists his creation could be on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide cover.

【1】According to the passage, for what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?

A. To know when there’ll be a heavy rain.

B. To check the weather report.

C. To protect people from the rain.

D. To remind people to take an umbrella.

【2】What can we learn from Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2?

A. His creation was encouraged by an experience.

B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.

C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.

D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The designer will open a company to produce his creation.

B. The Lampbrella could be put into production at once.

C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.

D. The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.

【4】The best title of this passage is   .

A. A special umbrella - Lampbrella

B. Why Belyaev created the Lampbrella

C. A special light - Lampbrella

D. Where the Lampbrella first appear

29、Do you know Black Friday? You probably know about Singles Day (Nov. 11th) in China, when people ________ up very late at night to shop online. Things become cheaper, so they can ________ a lot of money. Well, the US has something like that called Black Friday.

Black Friday is the ________ after Thanksgiving. It’s the start of the holiday shopping season and most people don’t have to go to work that ________. So people start to think about what gifts they want to buy for Christmas.

Black Friday comes from ________ sales. A long time ago, shops used ink(墨水) to record all their sales. When there was a lot of black ink on the page, that meant the products sold a lot.

Unlike Singles Day that is usually for online shopping, a lot of shopping on Black Friday is done at real stores. Shoppers look for deals, especially on ________ like televisions, computers and video games. These things usually have ________ prices, but on this day, you can buy them at very low sale prices. So people sometimes fight over these things. Some people wait in line for ________ from the daytime to the midnight when stores finally open.
