24、

From tiny seeds (种子 ), great discoveries grow. A mini-garden carried on China's Chang'e 4 moon lander recently became home to the first plant to grow on another world. This is yet another success for Chang'e 4. On January 2, the probe (探测器)became the first lander to touch down on the far side of the moon. This is the unknown face of the moon that is always looking away from us, so we never see it from down here on the earth. Although it is often regarded as the dark side of the moon, the far side actually gets as much sunshine as the near side. For example, when all we can see is a silver moon, the far side of the moon is in full sunlight.

Part of Chang'e 4's mission (使命) is to see how a moon base could be built for humans, including exploring(探索) whether humans could grow food and other plant products there. Chang'e 4 carried a mini-garden with air, water and soil with seeds planted in it. When plants shoot(发芽)on the earth, their stems grow away from the gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the ground), and so they always shoot upwards. The moon's gravity is a sixth as strong as the earth's, so Chang'e 4's experiment was a test: would the earth plants know which way was up on the moon? Four days after landing, a tiny cotton shoot showed that they do.   

Night has now fallen on the far side of the moon, sunlight will not return until the start of February. As a result, the cotton shoots died. Besides the darkness, the plants can't stand the cold(it can drop to-170°C on the moon at night). However, the experiment is a success, since it has proved that it is possible for plants to grow in space.

【1】The passage is mainly about __________.

A．another success for Chang'e 4

B．the unknown face of the moon

C．the cotton shoots on the moon

D．the steps of an experiment

【2】Which of the following sentences is TRUE?

A．The far side of the moon gets less sunlight.

B．Chang'e 4 carried a big garden to the moon.

C．We can see the far side of the moon from the earth.

D．The earth plants know the way to grow on the moon.

【3】In which part of a magazine can we probably read the text?

A．Travel and life.

B．Science and technology.

C．History and culture.

D．Health and environment.

25、   The Eiffel Tower is the most famous building in France, and it's also famous worldwide as a symbol of France.

The Eiffel Tower was named after Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed the tower. It was built to be the main entryway for the World Expo in 1889, to celebrate 100 years since the French Revolution. The Eiffel Tower was built from 1887 to 1889. It was the tallest building in the world after it was finished, twice the size of the second tallest building in the world at that time. It was the tallest building in the world for 41 years from 1889 to 1930. It is 324 meters high.

The Eiffel Tower was opened to visitors on May 6,1889.There are three levels for visitors. There are restaurants on the first and second levels, and on the third level there is a wonderful view of France. You can buy a ticket to ride the lift to the second level and save half an hour of walking. The third and highest level can only be reached by lift. Although there are stairs, they are usually not open to the public.

At night, the tower lights up a bright golden color, so everybody in Paris can see. If you go at night, there will be fewer people---maybe you don't have to wait in line to get to the top. Most people come to visit at daytime and sometimes you need to wait in line for two hours to get to the top. The tower is open year-round until 11:45 pm, with the last admissions at 11 pm. During the height of summer, the tower stays open for another hour. Whenever you go, don't forgot to bring a camera.

26、   We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.

When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad, we see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult. It is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽视)it.

Change will happen, like it or hate it. Happy people don’t just accept change; they embrace (拥抱) it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.

Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd comes, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!

Self-improvement may not be even the body’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.

【1】The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that ________.

A.we learn our lessons when we experience pain.

B.we are responsible for the problems we meet

C.life fails us when we get into the wrong way

D.life is a long journey full of ups and downs

【2】What is the key to solving Jane's problem?

A.She needs to remember why she started.

B.She has to know how to get on with people.

C.She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.

D.She needs to understand the importance of confidence.

【3】The writer probably agrees that ________.

A.the world tells us how to improve ourselves

B.people change when they find it easy to do that

C.welcoming change in life is a drive to become better

D.the process of self-improvement makes life unhappy

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Is it important to take things light?

B.Is it necessary to embrace challenges?

C.To hold on to the last moment or to give up?

D.To free ourselves out of the box or to stay up in it?

27、   Today, an increasing number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are called the “Heads-down Tribe(低头族)”. Are you a heads-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.

More and more traffic accidents are happening because drivers use mobile phones when they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, heads-down tribe members who use mobile phones while driving will be fined ¥200.

As we can see above, using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost money. Besides, more and more interesting things happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. According to a piece of interesting TV news, a man in America kept using his mobile phone on his way home. Suddenly, he bumped(撞上) into a big lost bear. When he lifted his eyes from the phone, he was so scared that he ran away as quickly as possible.

Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. It’s strange that they don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone all the time.

Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools for modern life. Are mobile phones good or bad? It depends on how people use them. Let’s be “healthy” users and try not to be the “Heads-up Tribe”.

28、根据下列短文，写出与各小题所给汉语相对应的英语单词的正确形式（每空一词）。

Erquan Yingyue was one of the most moving pieces of music that I’ve ever heard. I sense a strong sadness and 【1】 (痛苦). It was 【2】 (写) by Abing, a folk musican from Wuxi. His father 【3】 (教) him to play many musical instruments, and by the age of 17, Abing was known for his musical ability. Unluckily, he developed a serious illness and became blind. He led a poor life. By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music.

Today Abing’s Erquan Yingyue is a piece which all the great Erhu masters play and 【4】 (赞扬). It has become one of China’s national 【5】 (财富).
