24、You are walking down the street. Suddenly it starts to rain and you don’t have an umbrella. What do you do? Run or walk?

Most people would choose to run because it will get you out of the rain faster. But if you run, you also run into more raindrops. So what should you do?

Things are more complicated than you might think. Franco Bocci, a professor at the University of Brescia in Italy, found that whether you should travel slowly or quickly in rain depends on the wind’s direction and your body’s shape, according to the BBC.

When there is no wind, and the rain lands directly on you, Bocci suggests that you should run and hide as fast as possible. But if the wind comes from behind and blows the rain onto your back, the best thing to do is walk at the same speed as the wind. This way, both your front and back will stay mostly dry.

This is not all. When the wind blows in from the side, you’ll have to think about one more thing—your body shape. Thinner people are hit by fewer raindrops. In this case, a fatter person had better run while a thinner person should still try to match their speed to the wind.

“In general, the best thing is to run, as fast as you can—not always, but in general,” Bocci told BBC News. “If you’re really thin, it’s more probable that there will be an optimal speed. Otherwise it is better to run fast.”

Now you know what to do next time the rain catches you in the middle of the street. But the best way to stay dry is still-to carry an umbrella.

【1】According to Franco Bocci’s study, whether you should run in the rain depends on ________.

①how fast you can run ②how heavy the rain is ③your body’s size ④the wind’s direction

A．①②

B．③④

C．①③

D．②④

【2】What does the underlined word “optimal” in paragraph7 probably mean?

A．fastest

B．slowest

C．best

D．possible

【3】According to the article, which is the best way to stay as dry as possible on a rainy day?

A．If there is no wind, walk at your usual speed.

B．If the wind is from behind, run as fast as you can.

C．If the wind is from the front, fat people should match the speed of the wind.

D．If the wind is from the side, thin people should match the speed of the wind.

25、If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some “moving stars”. But they’re not really stars. They’re man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space Station（ISS）. From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes.

The ISS is the biggest satellite（人造卫星）and scientists want to live on it. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.

When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most expensive space program. Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year.

Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration（探测）. “The ISS will help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth better,” said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.

Sixteen countries are part of the program: the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and 11 European countries. China isn’t an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.

27、A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)

Liu Yaxuan is totally a homebody. Every weekend, this14-year-old student from Tsinghua High School watches popular TV dramas like The Journey of Flower(《花千骨》) and plays with her mobile phone. She hates playing outdoor sports. "It's too tiring," she said.

  She is not alone. In recent years, more and more Chinese teenagers are becoming homebodies. A 2013 survey of kids aged 2 to 14 showed about half of them spend less than one hour doing outdoor activities every day.

  To some extent, heavy academic pressure (学业压力) caused this phenomenon(现象). Hu Huilan, 12, from Shenzhen Nanshan Language School, is busy with piles of homework and extra classes on weekends. "I don't want to get behind," she said.

  Even if this isn't a problem, kids still prefer indoor life. Wang Yidi, 12, from Anhui No. 50 Middle School, often reads Harry Potter: listens to music and-surfs the Internet at home. "I can do so many things I like at home rather than hang out in smoggy(雾霾的) weather," she said.

  But this causes bad health conditions. Chinese teenagers' physical conditions have been declining (下降) for more than 25 years, reported People's Daily last year.  

  The situation for foreign students is quite different. Zhang Yingke, 15, from Unionville High School in Toronto, Canada, says her peers are not homebodies at all. "They spend their free time outdoors even if it just means going to the park or reading a book under the tree. Nice weather, little homework and rich outdoor activities enable us to do that," she said. After being there for four years, she has fallen in love with running and playing tennis. "It helps me stay energetic,” she said.

【1】Homebodies are persons who ______.

A. always stay home at weekends

B. don't need to go to work on weekdays

【3】According to People's Daily, Chinese teenager's physical conditions have been declining ______.

A. from last year   B. recently

C. since.1989   D. since 2013

【4】The teenagers tell us some reasons why they like to be homebodies. ______ is NOT TRUE according to the passage.

A. Doing outdoor activities is too tiring

B. They haven't rich outdoor activities

C. Hanging out in smoggy weather is bad for their health

D. The schoolwork is heavy and they are busy with their studies

【5】______ is/are Zhang Yingke's favourite outdoor activity/activities.

A. Running and playing tennis   B. Reading under the tree

C. Swimming in the river   .   D. Going to the Park

【6】The passage is mainly about ______.

A. the ways to change this phenomenon

B. the lifestyles of the different countries

C. the activities Chinese teenagers do at home

D. the reasons of becoming homebody and problems it caused

A cow and a fox went out to search for food together. They【1】(go) only a few miles before they saw a lion coming their way. They were both very scared. The fox thought of a way to save his own life, and went up to the lion and said in his ear, “I 【2】(help) you catch the cow without the trouble of hunting (猎杀) him, if you let me go free.” The lion agreed, and the fox then led the cow to a hidden pit (深坑), which some hunters 【3】(dig) as a trap (陷阱) for wild animals, and the cow fell into it. When the lion saw that the cow 【4】(catch) and couldn't get away, he turned his attention to the fox. He soon killed him, and then went on to eat the cow.
