24、 Every month, Julia and her cousins would go for the big family meal at their grandparents’ house. They would always wait excitedly for the moment their grandfather would give them a few coins. Then all the children would buy sweets. The grandparents, aunts, uncles, and parents realized that, behaving like this, the children would never learn to manage their money. So they proposed a special test, the children would have to show what they could manage to get with those few coins over the course of a year.
Some of the children thought that they would save their money, but Ruben and Nico, the two smallest kids, paid no attention, and they continued spending it all on sweets. Every time, they would show off their sweets in front of the other children, laughing and making fun of their cousins. They made Clara and Joe so angry that these two could no longer stand to keep saving their money. They joined Ruben and Nico in spending whatever they had on sweets.
Monty was a clever boy, and he decided to start managing his money by exchanging it: buying and selling things, or betting it with other children in card games. Soon he had surprised the whole family. He had saved a lot of money for little hard work. The way he was going, he would end up almost a rich man. However, Monty was not being very careful, and he hadn't a single coin left, after putting a losing bet on a horse race.
Poor Julia had a wonderful secret plan. When she was to complete the second year of her plan, Julia surprised everyone with a violin and a lot of money. They were hearing her play. She did it really well. Everyone knew that Julia loved the violin, even though the family couldn't afford to pay for her to have lessons. So Julia had got to know a poor violinist who played in the park, and she offered him all the coins her grandfather had given her if he taught her how to play. Although it wasn't much money, on seeing Julia’s excitement, the violinist agreed, and he taught her happily for months. Julia showed so much interest that after a year, the violinist lent her a violin, so they could play together in the park. They were so successful that gradually she got her own violin.
From then on, the whole family helped her, and she became a very famous violinist. And she would always tell people how it was possible, with just a few coins well spent, to make your wildest dreams a reality.
【1】Why did the children feel excited when they visited their grandparents?
A.Because they could have a big meal. B.Because they could get some coins.
C.Because they could get some sweets. D.Because they could learn how to manage money.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE?

B.Monty finally became a rich man and surprised his family.
C.The violinist would like to teach Julia because of money.
D.Julia bought her own violin with the help of her whole family.
【3】Which of the following is NOT the way Monty had used to earn money?
A.Exchanging things like buying and selling what he had.
B.Buying some colorful paper to make cards and then selling them to others.
C.Buying some colorful paper and teaching others how to make a card,
D.Betting coins with other children in card games.
【4】We can infer that the whole family were satisfied with ________ in the special test.
A.Ruben and Nico B.Clara and Joe C.Monty D.Julia
【5】The writer wants to tell us ________ in this passage.
A.it's normal for children to have different behaviors
B.it's good for children to make good use of money
C.it's necessary for parents to know their children from a test
D.it's important for children to earn money in different ways
25、Imagine you are thinking about entering a senior high school, but have questions. So you go to the school's website to find answers. A message appears on your computer and says, "How can I help?" You are not communicating with a human being, but a chatbot. It is using artificial intelligence (AI) to communicate with you. This might sound strange, but in recent years, chatbots have become an usual tool for banks and large companies around the world.
Having workers answer people's questions and complaints can be expensive. And workers canonly work several hours a day, making customers wait longer for a response (答复). So not only companies, but more schools have also begun using chatbot technology, says Keith Rajecki. He is with Oracle Higher Education, a computer software company that serves these institutions.
Rajecki notes that reducing costs and response time is one of the main reasons why schools and companies are turning to this technology. However, the purpose of many schools is to find ways to better serve students, since students are used to communicating online through Facebook or WeChat, says Rajecki.
Now Oracle is offering many schools a chatbot which can do everything from helping students register (注册) for classes to helping them ask for a few days off. Oracle is not the only company working on chatbot technology. Businesses like AdmitHub and Ivy.ai are involved in similar efforts.
Western Governors University, or WGU, also received a $750,000 award to experiment with a new kind of chatbot. "We're not trying to create a bot that answers simple questions," said Jason Leven, the director of WGU Labs. "We're trying to create a chatbot that can help decision making for students."
Ian Jacobs is with the market research company Forrester. He suggests that technology like chatbots can work well if it is able to do what users ask of it. Jacobs says the problem will appear when cost cutting becomes an important reason for using the technology. This means schools and companies are more likely to try using chatbots for things they are not yet able to do, such as communicating in the way humans do. For one thing, there are hundreds of ways to word even simple requests. For another, chatbots aren't able to deal with emotions (感情). They can't understand how humans feel, not to speak of comforting (安慰) them.
【1】Which of the following is not the reason why more schools are turning to chatbot technology?
A.Schools want to serve the students better.
B.Chatbot technology can help schools save money.
C.Students are used to communicating with chatbots.
D.Chatbot technology makes students wait shorter for a response.
【2】Chatbots may work well in the following situations except ________.
A.when students want to know more about a school
B.when students are wondering how to register for classes
C.when students want to have two days off because of illness
D.when students are in need of some help because a parent dies
【3】The following sentence would best be placed at the end of ________. However, not everyone is ready to consider the possibilities this kind of technology presents.
A.Paragraph 5
B.Paragraph 4
C.Paragraph 3
D.Paragraph 2
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A.A chatbot is able to do whatever users ask of it.
B.A chatbot is a kind of completely new technology using AI.
C.A new chatbot may appear to help students to make decisions.
D.Chatbot technology has been used in both schools and companies.
26、 Students from two schools, The City School in Nigeria and Heathland School in the UK, recently took part in a project to compare their education and find out about student life in a very different country. As expected, they found many differences but also a few things that are similar.
The City School is in a district just outside Nigeria’s capital, Abuja. The school is surrounded (环绕) by big trees and grassy fields that the children use to play football on. Heathland School is in a quiet suburb not far from central Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.
Most of the 580 students at The City School are taught in pleasant one-storey yellow-brick buildings although some building work still needs to be done. Heathland School dates from the 1950s but some new facilities (设施) have been added recently.
Although The City School receives financial (财政的) help from the government, students still
have to pay school fees. It’s hard to find the money sometimes and quite a few parents struggle to keep their children in school. Unlike the Nigerian school, students at Heathland School only have to buy their uniforms and pay for some extra activities.
Teachers and students at The City School are proud of their library and the science laboratory. They say that there’s not a school in the area that can match it. The school concentrates (专注于) on traditional subjects like Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry because this will make it easier for students to get into a good profession. Practical subjects like Farm Technology are also popular.
Heathland School recently became a performing arts college. This means that in addition to subjects like English and Mathematics, the school also offers lessons in Dance, Drama and Music as choices for all students. There is a new dance studio which can also be used as a theatre.
Students in both schools found the project very interesting and hope to do further joint projects in the future.

“You what, Grandpa?” I asked. He didn’t have the_________to answer me. He had used up all strength with those two words, “I … you.”
