25、   One morning, I was driving my father—in— law to the airport when a plane flew silently over the road like a big bird, about to arrive at the airport.

“It's magic, “my father—in—law said. I looked at him, without knowing what was happening.

He was a doctor who gave speeches at colleges and had visited more than 100 countries. He understood better than me why a plane can fly in the sky. It, really, wasn't magic.

But now, I realize he was at least right in some way.

Though flying might not be magic, it's certainly magical. What it brings to our lives is something found in our dreams.

But too often, we, especially I forget. I read a sentence a few months ago. It said, “You know you're growing up when you no longer want a window seat.”

Too often in recent years, I've asked for a seat near the exit row, forgetting the wonders of traveling fast. But sometimes, when the Wi—Fi's not working or my computer has no power, I remember to look outside.

I think of one time when I was on a family vacation. Minutes after take—off, I started working. But a passenger behind me wouldn't stop talking. “The clouds!”he kept saying, “Look at the clouds!”

I turned around, and saw two men, one who appeared to be in his seventies and the other much younger. The conversation continued for 20 minutes until, not patiently（有耐心地）, I raised my eyes from my computer screen and looked out of the window.

The clouds!

He was right. We were flying through big soft balls of cotton（棉花）, each in different shapes. They seemed close enough to touch. The afternoon sun provided all kinds of colors, all against a blue sky. It is magic! I put away my computer and appreciated（欣赏） them for the rest of the flight.

I don't remember the work I felt like I had to complete that afternoon. I've never forgotten those clouds.

【3】How did the writer feel when he listened to the conversation between the two men for 20 minutes?

A.explain to the readers how planes fly in the air

B.tell us to look up at planes from time to time

27、We all know plastic pollution has become a serious problem. One million plastic drinking bottles are thrown away every minute. What if we could use plastic waste to build roads? This is exactly what Toby Mc Cartney has done.

In 2019, McCartney’s UK-based company, MacRebur, built a plastic road in Elgin town, Scotland. The plastic waste was made into grains (颗粒) and then mixed with bitumen (沥青). The road looks just like any other road. But it has improved strength and is more stretchy (有弹性的) thanks to the plastic.

“Our technology can not only help solve the problem of plastic waste but also produce roads that deal better with changes in the weather,” McCartney said.

McCartney’s idea came from a trip to India. “I saw people in India would put plastic waste into potholes (路面的坑洼) and burn it. The plastic would melt down (融化) and fill the holes,” said McCartney.

“I knew that there must be some correspondences between plastic and bitumen, which both come from oil. That’s how I started to think about mixing them,” he said.

After lots of testing, McCartney found the perfect method. And now his company has built many plastic roads around the world. A one-kilometer stretch of road uses about 684,000 plastic bottles or 1.8 million plastic bags. The road itself can be recycled and the materials can be reused to build new roads.

“We’re just a small part of ending the plastic problems, but it’s nice to be part of it,” McCartney said. “I just don’t want my daughters to live in a world where there are more plastics in the ocean than fish.”

【1】Compared with normal roads, the plastic road ________.

a. is not easy to break   b. is fit for hot weather   c. is more stretchy   d. costs more money

A．ab

B．ac

C．bc

D．bd

【2】McCartney got the idea of building the plastic road from ________.

A．too many changes in the weather

B．his wish to reduce plastic pollution

C．his knowledge of plastic and bitumen

D．Indian people’s way of dealing with potholes

【3】The underlined word “correspondences” in this passage means ________.

A．competitions

B．connections

C．differences

D．reasons

【4】We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.

A．children should also join to reduce plastic pollution

B．plastic pollution is becoming more and more serious

C．McCartney is ready to offer help in reducing plastic pollution

D．plastic problems will soon be solved with McCartney’s help

【5】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To describe how much a kid’s future matters.

B．To encourage every company to build a plastic road.

C．To help people understand how harmful plastic waste is.

D．To tell people plastic waste can be reused to build a road.

28、根据短文内容，从短文前的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。如果选项为E，则涂A和B两项。

Computers are good tools（工具）.The Internet is also good. But some people spend too much time online. They can’t stop. 【1】 They call this sickness Internet Addiction Disorder （互联网成瘾症）（IAD）.

【2】   They spend hours talking to their friends or playing online games. Many people with IAD spend more time on the Internet than with family or friends. Some people with IAD even quit（辞掉）their jobs!

Do you have IAD? Think about these questions： 【3】 Is it a lot or a little? When you are not online，are you thinking about playing a computer game or checking your messages? When you are online，do you forget the time? Do you get angry when you can’t play a game?

【4】  Dr. Ivan Goldberg and Dr. Kimberly S. Young have some ideas. First，ask yourself “Why am I online a lot?” Then try to take a break. For example，use the computer or play games twice a week，not every day. 【5】
