24、

If you need to call your parents but your phone is not with you, can you remember their numbers. To remember 11 numbers is not difficult. However, because of the smart phone(智能手机), many of us are losing this ability, Record Japan reported. What’s more, smart phones make our skills at giving directions weak, as well as killing face-to-face communications. Even when friends are having a meal together, it’s common for most to check their phones.

According to a report by Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, an American company, Chinese people spend average(平均数)170 minutes on their smart phones daily.

For students, an addiction to smart phones does no good for studying. Research in Japan showed children who spend more than four hours a day on their phones do much worse in school tests than those who play with their phones for 30 minutes.

It’s true that the smart phone has made our lives easier. But many also think they spend too much time on it, and this is bad for their study or work. People are trying to change that.

A new app(应用程序) called Forest was introduced this month. It lets users plant a seed that grows into a tree over the next 30 minutes. During the half hour, users cannot use their phones, or the tree will die.

A restaurant in Los Angeles, US, gives people a 5% discount(折扣) if they don’t check their phones during a meal. Owner Mark Gold said that he hopes it gives people a way to enjoy their meal and really talk with friends and family.

【1】What abilities and skills are we losing or becoming weak because of the smart phone?

A.Checking phone numbers.

B.Having meals together with friends.

C.Having communications with classmates.

D.Remembering phone numbers and giving directions.

【2】Which statement (陈述) about the research in Japan is incorrect?

A.Smart phones make students’ lives and study easier.

B.Chinese people spend nearly three hours on smart phones daily.

C.Spending too much time on smart phones is bad for their studies.

D.Students who use smart phones for over two hours daily do better in tests.

【3】The underlined word “addiction” probably means _______ in Chinese.

A.沉溺 B.研究 C.购买 D.向往

【4】What is the best title of the article?

A.The Advantages of Smart Phones.

B.The Disadvantages of Smart Phones.

C.The Quality of People Using Smart Phones.

D.The Changes of Smart Phones.

25、Water pollution happens when waste things from many areas are thrown into rivers，lakes and seas．

Agriculture

To get more food，farmers use large amounts of chemicals（化学制品）．When the chemicals are not completely used by the plants，they are washed away by the rainwater into rivers， lakes and seas， which pollute both surface water and underground water．

Factories and industries often release poisonous chemicals into seas，rivers or lakes，which is quite bad for Mother Nature．An example of industrial sea pollution happened in Japan in the 1950s．A local factory had poured waste water with mercury（水银） into the Minamata Bay for 20 years．Tuna fish in the bay took in the mercury and people ate the tuna．Many children were born with birth deformities（畸形）．As a result，people lost their hearing and sight，and thousands of people died in the end．

Sea transportation

When ships transporting oil get damaged on the way，oil spillage（溢出） happens．One major disaster was the Exxon Valdez oil spill．An oil tanker sank off Alaska in1989 and leaked（泄漏） oil into the ocean．To save cost，some ships also poured unwanted oil from their engine rooms into the sea，thus polluting the oceans．

Home activities

If the waste from the washing of clothes and dishes are not treated and poured into the sea，they will do harm to the sea life． Some diseases may also spread．Sometimes，rubbish is dumped into the sea．

26、Ruling the pool

On Oct 23, Chinese swimmer Qin Haiyang got the title (称号) of the Best Male Swimmer of the Year 2023. He got the award just one day after he won the Swimming World Cup Overall Male Award. 【1】

People call Qin the “King of Breaststroke (蛙泳之王)” for his breaststroke achievements in 2023. 【2】 At the World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, the 24-year-old broke five Asian records and became the first swimmer in history to win all three breaststroke golds at a single edition (单届).

【3】 It’s harder to swim fast because all the strokes (划水) in breaststroke happen under the water. This makes the water push back on the swimmer more, and it takes a lot of skill to swim well. “Even a small change in how you move your hands can make you swim faster or slower, I only need one to swim as far as they do.”

Even though Qin has won many awards, he is still modest. 【4】 “I’m just a breaststroke swimmer,” Qin said.

A．Breaststroke is not easy.

B．Qin keeps working hard to swim faster.

C．So he doesn’t want people to call him King of Breaststroke.

D．He won all 23 gold medals in breaststroke in the big competitions.

E．These are two very important achievements for Chinese swimming.

27、Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. It is141 million miles away from the sun. A year on Mars is 687 earth-day long. One day is about the same as on the earth: 24 hours long.

Mars is about half the size of the earth. Because Mars is smaller than the earth, and its gravity is also less. If you weigh 100 pounds on the earth, you’d weigh about 38 pounds on Mars.

Mars’ surface looks like a red desert. There are mountains, canyons (峡谷), volcanoes (火山) and so on. It is a dry planet without any liquid water (液态水). It does have ice caps at its north and south. Some of this ice is frozen (冻结的) carbon dioxide.

Evidence shows that Mars once had rivers, streams, lakes, and maybe even an ocean. Scientists guess that there once was water on the surface of Mars that created these.Today the only water on Mars is either frozen in the ice caps or underground.

Mars has mountains that are much higher than the mountains on the earth. OlympusMons, the biggest volcano in the whole solar system, stands 17 miles tall! Mars also has bigger and deeper canyons than the earth’s. Some of these are sixty miles long and five or six miles deep. How amazing!
