24、   Dubai is a city of big business, expensive hotels, skyscrapers(摩天大楼), and shopping malls.

In the early 20th century, Dubai was a successful trading port. People from the world stopped in Dubai to do business. But it was still a small city, and most people lived as fishermen and business men. Then in 1966, oil was discovered. This brought a lot of money into the area, and soon Dubai began to change.

Today Dubai is one of the world’s most important business centers. In fact, each year the city gets its money mainly from business, not oil. Recently Dubai has attracted more and more visitors from abroad. They come to relax on its beaches, and every year, millions of people visit just to do some shopping.

Dubai is also one of the world’s fastest-growing cities. Many tall buildings are built in months. The city also has many man-made islands. One of these, the Palm Jumeirah, is like a palm tree(棕榈树) and is very beautiful.

The city is still an amazing mix(混合体) of people from different countries. The people from 150 countries live and work in Dubai, and foreigners now outnumber Dubai natives(本地人) by eight to one!

Many people welcome the city’s growth. But an increasing number of Dubai natives worry about the speed of change. As a Dubai native says, “We must always remember where we came from. Our kids must know we worked very, very hard to get where we are now, and there’s a lot more work to do.”

【1】Why did people stop in Dubai in the early 20th century?

A.To relax. B.To buy oil. C.To go shopping. D.To do business.

【2】Which of the following is not true?

B.To be larger in number than another group.

C.To be bigger in area than another group.

D.To be smaller in area than another group.

A.We should always visit Dubai.

B.We should learn from foreigners.

C.We must always remember our past.

D.We must only think about future.

25、Have you ever had dreams about building a robot? Or putting together a spaceship? Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate? If you have a 3-D printer, your dream will come true!

All the user has to do is to design(设计) an object on the computer and choose a material to print in. The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass, sugar and even skin! When the user presses “print”, the 3-D printer spreads the material layer (层) by layer like magic, the object is produced.

The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American, Charles Hull. But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use. Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things. The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture (家具) made from old fridges. And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear.

But like a lot of new technologies, if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands, it can be dangerous. In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers (提款机盗刷器). These were placed on an ATM and stole over $400,000 from users of the ATM. It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun.

But for better or for worse, 3-D printing has been put into use. In a few years, you’ll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!

26、   Life comes in a package．This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair．Life is a learning process．Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person．With each passing day we learn to deal with various situations．

Love plays a main role in our life．Love makes you feel wanted．Without love a person could become cruel．

Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind．No mind is happy without peace．Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure．But all of these things will pass away．

Failure is the path to success．It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way．Success brings in money, pride and self-respect．

Hope is what keeps life going．Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream．Hope builds in patience．Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day．

Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control．Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dark．So the only choice is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow．

People have been wearing false teeth of one kind or another for more than 2,500 years. The Etruscans(伊特拉斯坎人) knew how to make them as far back as 700 B.C. Then the Etruscans’ knowledge of false teeth was f 【1】,and for many years no one knew how to make them.

At one time in England, dentists pulled out people's teeth w【2】 giving anything to stop the pain. Sometimes the dentist’s assistant hit a drum loudly so that the crowd would not hear the cries of pain. Another assistant held the patient down as the dentist pulled out teeth.

Then in the seventeenth century, dentists attempted to make false teeth again. The problem，however, was not making the teeth; it was keeping them in place. They had to tie each false tooth to the teeth on either side of it. Only rich people could a【3】 false teeth, which were usually made of ivory, gold or silver. As the demand for new teeth increased, poor people would often sell their teeth so that they could buy food and clothing.

Many c【4】 were made to false teeth during the next 200 years, though some of these were not really improvements. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, for example, cheep celluloid(赛路珞，一种塑料) teeth were introduced. But they caught fire very easily, and a number of men were badly burned when their teeth caught fire while they were s【5】.

Nowadays false teeth are so well made and look so r 【6】-they are made of a kind of plastic- that it is often impossible to tell from a person’s appearance whether or not they have them, And in the near future, very f【7】 people will have them because by adding certain things to the water we drink, we have been able to keep our teeth so healthy that most people will never need false teeth.

29、   Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada. One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw a man eating out of a garbage can.
