24、In modern society there is a lot of disagreement about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is good for social progress. Others say that competition is bad. It sets one person against another. And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who believe that their self-worth depended on how well they did at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death matters. In their single-minded dream of success, the development of many other human qualities (品质) is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire (渴望) to succeed, others take a different attitude. In a culture which values only the winners, they are strongly against competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who are under competitive pressures (压力) from their parents or society. They are always told to be the top ones, but they think it’s really hard. When I teach these young people, I often find them in a desire to fail. They seem to search for failure (失败) by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try. If I had tried and lost, that would mean a lot.”

Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief. They think one’s self-respect depends on how well one does compared with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this fear begins to dissolve (消除) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

【1】Why do some people welcome competition according to the passage?

A．It pushes society forward.

B．It improves one’s abilities.

C．It develops human qualities.

D．It builds up friendly relationship.

【2】The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _____.

A．those who try their best to win

B．those who value competition most highly

C．those who depend on others most for success

D．those who are against competition most strongly

【3】Which of the following may the writer agree to?

A．Every effort should be paid back.

B．Competition should be encouraged.

C．Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

D．Fear of failure should be taken away in competition.

【4】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A．Competition helps to set up self-respect.

B．Competition is bad for social development.

C．Ideas about competition are different among people.

D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition.

25、Scientists have long been looking for life in outer space. They recently found something exciting on Venus (金星), the planet closest to ours.

British scientists have discovered phosphine (磷化氢) in Venus’ atmosphere (大气层). Phosphine is a hopeful sign of life. On Earth, phosphine is produced when organic (有机的) matter breaks down. The same thing could be happening on Venus. Still, scientists need to send a probe to Venus to see whether life exists (存在) there.

In fact, Venus has long been ignored (忽视) in the search for life because of its high temperatures and atmospheric pressure. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system—the surface temperature is 470℃. The pressure there is 92 times greater than that on Earth. Even if humans could bear the heat, they would be crushed (粉碎) by the pressure.

However, it’s possible that life could exist in the planet’s atmosphere. Temperatures there are about - 1℃ to 93℃, which is far more suitable for life. The pressure there is similar to that of the Earth as well. The phosphine was found in Venus’ cloudy atmosphere—around 60 kilometers above its surface.

Phosphine is known as an indirect sign of life. So are gases like methane (甲烷) and ozone. Scientists focus on such signs when they look for life outside of the Earth. These gases can exist in the atmospheres of planets for a long time, allowing scientists to find them with the help of probes. However, it is liquid (液体) water that is considered to be the most important sign of life.

根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

【1】Which planet is the nearest to Earth?

A．The moon.

B．The sun.

C．Mars.

D．Venus.

【2】Why could life exist in Venus’ atmosphere?

A．Because Venus’ surface temperature is too high.

B．Because there is phosphine in Venus’ cloudy atmosphere.

C．Because the pressure there is 92 times greater than the Earth’s.

D．Because scientists have found them with the help of probes.

【3】What does the underlined word “which” refer to?

A．Pressure.

B．Temperature.

C．Atmosphere.

D．Surface.

【4】What’s the most important sign of life?

A．Phosphine.

B．Ozone.

C．Methane.

D．Natural disasters.

26、Dear Zi Lin,

I am very sorry to learn that you are unhappy now. But as a friend of yours, I don’t think you should be unhappy.

I know that your family is not rich, so your parents can’t afford to buy you clothes of famous brands, which makes you unhappy. Although we don’t have much money, we can have a good mood every day. Many rich people have too much money, but they often feel bored and lonely. Your parents have sent you to school so that you can receive good education and have a bright future. This is not easy for your parents. So you should thank them. Don’t ask for something that is out of your parents’ reach. Don’t be vain­glorious(虚荣的).

I also think you should put your heart into study. Read more books and you can get a lot from reading. Without the famous brand competition, you will become happy.

So you should decide not to feel so sorry and sad. You should smile and think you are luckier in life.

I hope my advice will be helpful to you. Wish you happiness!

Yours,

Zhang Man

27、   Wherever travellers go, cameras are sure to follow. It's great fun to take photos, and even more fun to show slides of the trip to friends and relatives when they come back home.

There's Aunt Sarah, smiling in front of Buckingham Palace, Aunt Sarah, smiling under the Eiffel Tower, and Aunt Sarah, smiling in a Venetian Canal. Everyone knows what Aunt Sarah looks like；they also know what Europe's great landmarks(地标)look like.

But a young man named David, just back from a trip to Greece, asked a few friends over to see his slides. The young man had an artist's eye. His pictures were not of familiar Greek architectures. Instead, he took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets, and bearded priests(牧师)bending over their Bibles. He captured(抓住)the colour and character of the country. His friends were so interested that they asked for more.

Any amateur(外行)can do the same. All he needs is a simple camera and a little sensitivity(灵敏度). When he learns that a nation lives in its people as well as in its landmarks, he moves from an amateur to an artist.

【1】People who watch Aunt Sarah's slides would be ________.

A.frightened B.excited

C.bored D.sad

【2】David's pictures were about ________.

A.landmarks B.architectures

C.people D.history

【3】A traveller can become an artist if he  ________.

A.takes a camera with him

B.knows the history of a place

C.is interested in not only the landmarks but also the people of a place

D.learns how to draw and paint pictures of a place

28、

Few people know about online food delivery apps 10 years ago, but today many would find that it is hard to live w【1】 them. In China alone, over 400 million people use such apps. For better or for worse, online food delivery s【2】 have changed the way we eat, and they are also having a huge influence on our society.

These apps have no doubt bringing us many benefits. They provide jobs for millions of people and help restaurants find more customers. S【3】 the apps are very convenient, they also benefit consumers. We can now have meals delivered at any time of day, which is especially important for people who work long hours, as they might not have time to cook. Not only do these apps save time, they also provide us with a wide variety of restaurants to choose from.

However, we must not forget the problems of online food delivery. For one thing, they make it even easier to order u【4】 food, high in sugar, fat and salt. Food safety is another problem. It can be hard to tell where the food a【5】 comes from, and whether the owner is allowed to run a restaurant. As couriers (递送者) need to deliver the orders as quickly as possible, some may pay less attention to traffic rules. These years, there have been a number of terrible traffic accidents because of this. Moreover, the industry is p【6】 unbelievable amounts of packaging waste. Over a million tons of online food delivery boxes are thrown away every year.

There are many good points of online food delivery, but we need to make sure that we make the right c【7】 in the long run. We should do our best to limit waste, especially when it comes to packaging. We also need to think about what we eat and the influence on our health. Next time you want to order in, you should think about whether you really need to. In most cases, it is better to walk over to the supermarket, buy the ingredients you need, and then cook them on your own.

29、“The greatest joy on the earth is to introduce the beauty created by a people to the whole world,” said Xu Yuanchong, the most well-known translating _________ in China. Xu devoted himself translation for more than 60 years. And he _________ over 100 translated books in Chinese, English and French. Those attracted (吸引) millions of _________ around the world.

He was a hard-working person. Every day, he would _________ about 1,000 words into another language. He usually worked until 3 a.m. to 4 a.m. and then got up at 6 a.m. to continue_________. He often said “The best way to lengthen our days is to steal a few hours from the early _________.”

Xu thought a translated work should be just as _________ as the original (原始的) one. So he used his creativity to make it possible. Instead of _________ translating words from one language to another, he changed the words into more readable ones.

In 2014, Xu won the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature, one of the world’s _________ prizes for a translator. He is the only Asian winner in the recent 20 years. It’s a pity that he __________ at the age of 100 on June 17, 2021. But before Xu died, he still kept reading to make his works more perfect. That shows us it is never too old to learn.
