25、Alfredo Moser is a Brazilian worker who is skilled at repairing machines. His wife says her husband has always been handy at home and made tables and chairs. Alfredo has invented a way of lighting his house during the day without electricity.

He has been using plastic bottles filled up with water and a little bleach (漂白剂) to provide dark rooms with light for many years. And the idea has now spread across the world. It is predicted that his lighting system, which works using refraction (折射) of sunlight, will be fitted in over a million homes by the end of this year.

Alfredo used normal plastic drink bottles that are often thrown away. The secret of the liquid in the bottles is the bleach added to water, which stops it turning green in the sunlight. Mr. Moser drills a hole in a roof tile and then pushes the bottle in from below, keeping the bottle in place with polyester resin (聚酯树脂). Depending on the strength of sunlight, the light fills his home, and the bottles are just like electric bulbs of between 40 and 60 watts.

Alfredo came up with the idea for his “Moser light” during one of the blackouts in Brazil in 2002. He said only factories had power in his home city, in southern Brazil during the energy shortage.

The local supermarket and his neighbours’ houses are using Moser lights. He earned a few dollars, but his invention has not made him a rich man. Now a great number of people admire what he is doing!

【1】What did Alfredo’s wife think of him?

A．Alfredo was always busy repairing machines.

B．Alfredo couldn’t do any housework.

C．Alfredo was clever with his hands.

D．Alfredo is a helpful man to save our world.

【2】Why does Alfredo put a little bleach into the bottle?

A．Because the bottle can give more light.

B．Because the bleach can keep the bottle in a roof tile.

C．Because the bleach can protect water from turning green.

D．Because the bleach can reflect the sunlight.

【3】The underlined word “blackouts” in the passage probably means ________.

A．地震

B．停电

C．旱灾

D．洪涝

【4】We can infer from the passage that ________.

A．Alfredo’s lights will be more and more popular

B．nobody will buy Moser lights in the future

C．Alfredo won’t repair machines any more

D．Alfredo’s invention will bring him a lot of money

27、阅读理解。

Damini Bansal (14 years old)

Freedom is something different in everybody's way of thinking—a student would probably like to raise a revolt(造反) against all the obnoxious(易受伤害的) rules of his or her school and as a grown up one might want to have less responsibilities(责任).

Freedom according to me is the power in me to make some of my life's decisions on my own. And this Independence Day (独立日) will be a lot more different than our first one in 1947 when people actually came to know what it was like to be free, for them it was the dawn of a new day, it was a day when they could do what they felt was right.

We have come far from all of this. We now no longer see the Independence Day as a day of very great importance for the students of my class (and most of the children of my age), and the most important value is that it is a holiday.

Arihant Jain (12 years old)

We can do anything we want like not going to school.

Everything should be free. We should not pay money to buy anything.

Can go anywhere I want…to the playground when exams are on.

Chatting on phone as long as I want.

To eat dinner outside everyday.

In school being able to play sports and not study.

Flying Kites.

【1】For a school student, freedom means .

A．bad etiquettes B．breaking the school rules

C．arguing with others   D．refusing to do homework

【2】As a student, Damini Bansal thinks .

A．the power that makes his own decisions

B．freedom should be free time that students like

C．freedom means to fight against too much homework

D．students should be against the unfair rules of their schools freedom

【3】Damini Bansal and his classmates treat Independence Day as .

A．a normal holiday   B．a day that they can enjoy freedom

C．a dawn of a new day D．a day of great importance for them

【4】From what Arihant Jain says, we can infer that .

A．Arihant Jain wants to learn to cook at home

B．Arihant Jain is a girl who doesn't want to go to school

C．Arihant Jain doesn't want to go shopping at all

D．Arihant Jain wants to have a new phone very much

【5】What's the best title for this passage?

A．Freedom Is Not Important to Me B．How Much Students Are Changing

C．What Freedom Means to Me D．My Own Decisions

28、Five tips for less plastic

The world has a plastic problem and it is increasing. Scientists are working to find a long-term solution by making plastic more biodegradable（可生物降解的）. But in the meantime, here are five things you can do to r【1】  plastic waste now.

1.Stop using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bag to the store. People use a trillion plastic bags worldwide every year. About 10 percent are used in the United States alone. That’s almost one bag per American per day, but the a【2】  Dane（丹麦人）uses four single-use bags per year. In 1993, Denmark was the first country to place a tax on plastic bags. Today, other countries（such as Chile, Kenya and New Zealand）either make customers pay for plastic bags, or have banned（禁止）them c【3】.

2.Skip the straw. Today, around 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world’s beaches. So when you order a drink, say “no”to the reusable straw, or bring your own reusable one. In 2018, Seattle became the first major U.S. city to ban plastic straws and many other cities are set to follow its e【4】.

3.Don’t use plastic bottles. Buy a reusable bottle and fill it with any t【5】 of drink you like. Some cities have already banned bottled water. However, people still buy nearly a million plastic bottles every minute in the world.

4.A【6】  plastic packaging. Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables in plastic packaging. In the U.K, leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free areas. They also want to tax plastic take-out containers.

5.Recycle. We can’t recycle all plastic items, but it is p【7】 to recycle most bottles and milk or juice cartons. Today, Norway recycles 97 percent of its plastic bottles. How? Machines at most supermarkets take the bottles and give a refund of up to 2.5 kroner（32 cents）per bottle.

29、One day a toad (蟾蜍) and a monkey decided to steal a rice cake in the village leader’s house. But they didn’t know how to steal it. In the end, they came up with a(n) ________.

They soon ________ the village leader’s house. The monkey ________ behind the door and waited for the chance to steal the rice cake, at the same time, the toad jumped into the well.

At that time, a servant of the village leader was busy ________ the rice cake. She heard the ________ of something falling into the well and immediately left the house. The monkey quickly took the basin (盆) with the rice cake and ran away towards the hills. Not long after, the toad met the monkey there. The greedy (贪婪的) monkey wanted to eat the rice cake all by ________. He did not want to ________ it with the toad. He told the toad that he would roll the basin down the hill. “Who ________ in getting the basin first can have the rice cake,” said the monkey. “That’s not ________,” replied the toad, “You run ________ than I.” “You must race with me, ________ the whole nice cake will be mine.” said the monkey. The toad did not have any ________ but to agree to the monkey’s plan. Then they started racing. ________ the rice cake fell out of the basin but the monkey didn’t notice that, “Thank goodness,” the toad said to himself. “The monkey is not my friend any more, so I don’t need to share the rice cake with him either.” When the monkey finally got the basin, he found it empty. The monkey was ________ and he went back to the toad. He soon found the toad was ________ the rice cake. He regretted trying to cheat his friend and finally went away.
