24、Earthquakes happen very often in Tokyo, but Tokyo is not an unlucky city. Many special parks have been built in Tokyo to keep people safe during earthquakes. These parks look nothing different from the other parks, but when earthquakes happen, they become life-saving places.

Many useful things in those special parks can meet people’s basic needs.

For example, it is usually hard for people to get water after earthquakes. In the special parks, people can get drinking water from the water pump(泵). If people need to use toilets(厕所), they can choose special toilets that can be used without water. Also, the helicopter(直升机) can land on squares or baseball fields and bring food or other things to people. What’s more, if people need to cook in the parks, some special benches can become cooking things.

However, those useful things are not enough for people to face earthquakes. The most important part lies in training people. The parks, together with fire stations and the police, will train with local people at the usual time. This will let people think and move faster during real earthquakes and let them protect themselves better.

So, what can we do to protect ourselves from getting hurt in earthquakes? First, we need to check our furniture and make sure they won’t fall down easily. Second, when an earthquake happens, we need to stay under tables or desks and protect our head. Third, we can keep our door open and wear comfortable shoes during small earthquakes in order to get out safely.

【1】What can we learn about the special parks from Paragraph 1?

A．The special parks can stop earthquakes.

B．There aren’t enough special parks in Tokyo.

C．The special parks look different from the common ones.

D．People can be safer in the special parks during earthquakes.

【2】During earthquakes, people can find ________ in these special parks.

① drinking water   ② traditional toilets   ③ personal planes   ④ cooking things

A．①③

B．③④

C．①④

D．②④

【3】Why are useful things “not enough” for people?

A．Because they can’t work well.

B．Because self-help is more important.

C．Because the government doesn’t have enough money.

D．Because it’s hard for people to find them during earthquakes.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．How to stay safe during earthquakes.

B．Why people should check their furniture.

C．How to prepare for danger before it comes.

D．What would happen in an earthquake.

25、   Yuan Longping, a Chinese scientist, was born in Hunan in 1930. Professor Yuan graduated from Southwest Agriculture College in 1953 and has given his whole attention to farming education and research.

Professor Yuan was a pioneer in hybrid rice(杂交水稻)research and made great achievements in this area. He is the first person to develop hybrid rice in the world.

The new technology was tested in many areas of South China in 1974 and 1975, and then tested in other areas. China became the first country that can produce hybrid rice. Yuan Longping is the first scientist who successfully changed the characteristic of rice. He made it possible to grow hybrid rice in such a large amount.

27、   The Chinese high-speed rails may stand out（突出）because of its scale（规模）. There are more than twice as many high-speed trains in China as the rest of the world. Cities like Beijing have several hundred high-speed trains stopping at the city every day, much more than any other big cities abroad. And every year when the Chinese Spring Festival comes, about 3 billion（十亿） trips take place within 2 weeks. It would be the same as every American taking 10 trips during Christmas, or every European taking 5 trips during Christmas. All the train tickets are gone within 10 seconds once they can be bought online.

The high-speed trains are really great. Firstly, China 5s technology on building the railway is leading the rest of the world and there is no sign that any other country could go beyond China in near future. Secondly, China's trains are based on Japanese, German and French models. At last, the scale of Chinese high-speed train is unthinkable to other countries, which has high-speed train network（网络）.

I had my first chance to ride the high-speed trains last week when I had a business meeting in Zhengzhou. The train was amazing. It is clean and the seats are huge. You can't even feel how fast the train is moving. If there were no windows, I wouldn't be able to tell when we were stopped or when we were traveling at 300 km/h. I had traveled on an Amtrak train before in the US, and hated how slow it was and how many stops there were. Chinese high-speed trains are of great difference.

I'm traveling again this week by train and I'm excited.

【1】What's the main idea of this passage?
