24、   Plants and animals have some very clever design features (特征). Scientists study these models. Then they can make new products using the ideas from nature.

Copying what we see in nature can improve how we travel. Japan’s first super-fast trains pushed air through tunnels at high speeds. When a train came out of a tunnel, it made a loud noise. Kingfisher birds hardly make a splash (溅水声) when they dive into water. Engineers changed the front of the trains to match the shape of the kingfisher. Then the air passed over the trains. The problem was solved!

People look underwater for ideas, too. Sharks have skin covered in special scales ( 鳞 ). These scales help sharks move quickly through water. Scientists have copied sharks’ skin to make swimsuits. Aircraft engineers also copied the scales. They made a coating for the wings of airplanes that is similar to sharks’ skin. Both the swimmers and the airplanes now travel faster.

Scientists studied how dolphins communicate to solve a big problem. Some earthquakes happening on the sea floor can cause tsunamis (海啸). People need to be warned if a tsunami is coming. Scientists use special tools to gather information on the sea floor. Then the information is sent to the surface as sounds. But on the way, the sounds can get muddled, so the scientists may not hear them.

Scientists studied the way dolphins “talk”. Dolphins have a clever way to send messages through water. Their system is better than some of our systems. Now, experts have copied the way dolphins send messages. This will help them track tsunami waves. Nature’s designs are built to last. When we observe the natural world, we can find wonderful ways to improve our lives. What ideas from nature will people borrow next?

The possibilities are endless!

【1】What did engineers copy from the kingfisher bird?

A.Its high speeds. B.Its special looks.

C.Its sound when it’s flying. D.Its ability to travel in water.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A.Swimmers can swim as fast as sharks now.

B.Engineers have copied ideas from swimsuits.

C.People have copied ideas from sharks.

D.Shark scales are used to make wings of planes.

【3】What does the underlined word “muddled” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Not clear. B.Very loud.

C.Really strange. D.Quite terrible.

【4】What is the purpose of the system inspired by dolphins?

A.To look for dolphins. B.To help people ride waves.

C.To keep tsunamis away. D.To give early warnings.

25、阅读下面的材料，判断下列句子是否符合短文内容。符合的填“T”，不符合的填“F”。（T=True, F=False）

A lot of people are crazy doing shopping through the Internet now. Why is it so popular? There are many reasons. First, more and more people have their own computers or mobile phones. It’s possible for many of them to shop through the Internet. Second, people can spend less money buying things that they like. Third, people can buy things at home instead of going to the shop. It can save them much time. Because of these good facts, many people can’t refuse it.

On the other hand, some people don’t like this kind of way to do shopping. They can only see the pictures on the computer or on the mobile phone. They can’t know the products well. People can’t enjoy the pleasure of shopping in the large supermarkets or the wonderful shopping centers.

Do you like shopping through the Internet? What do you think of it?

【1】Many people are crazy doing shopping through the Internet.

【2】Fewer people have their own computers or mobile phones these days.

【3】People can spend less money buying things through the Internet.

【4】It will take people more time to buy things through the Internet.

【5】Some people don’t like shopping through the Internet.

26、

Characters:

Buck —a dog

Judge (法官) Miller—Buck's owner

Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would know that trouble was coming.

In fact, trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair. This was because men, going throw the Arctic (北极的) darkness, had found a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.

Buck lived at Judge Miller’s house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stable (马厩), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He protected the judge's sons and daughters on long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights, he lay at the Judge's feet in front of the warm library fire. He was king—King over everything, crawled (爬行), walked, or flew at Judge Miller's place, including humans.

Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897 when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of the gardener's helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble (赌博). He believed he could win but he was doomed (注定) to failure.

On the night of Manuel's betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck go off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck's neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger's hands, he barked. Then, the rope tightened (收紧) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (浑浊), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car.

(Adapted from The Call of the Wild by Jack London)

【1】Why were thousands of men rushing into Northland?

A.Because they could live a better life there.

B.Because they might discover gold there.

C.Because they could find the dogs they needed there.

D.Because they wanted to enjoy the beautiful views there.

【2】Which description about Buck is NOT TRUE according to the story?

A.The Judge's family betrayed him so he ran away quietly.

B.He had lived in Judge Miller's house since he was born.

C.Life before the autumn of 1897 was enjoyable for him.

D.Manuel could take him out of Miller's house because he trusted Manuel.

【3】The story is mainly about ___________.

A.animal's trust in humans B.people's discovery of gold

C.Buck's early life at Judge Miller's D.the turning point of Buck's life

28、   An old man lived in a village. He was one of the 【1】(粗鲁的) people in the world. He was always unhappy and always in a bad mood. When people tried to【2】 (使…振奋) him up, he would turn them away.

The way he acted made other feel the same way that he did. It was【3】 (不平常的) and impolite to feel happy around him. By behaving like this he made the【4】(剩余的) of the village feel unhappy as well. However, one day- the day he turned 80 years old, in fact- an unbelievable thing happened. He was no longer angry.【5】(代替), he seemed kind and friendly. The villages said among【6】(他们自己): “The old man is happy today. He hasn't complained about anything He is smiling and he looks 【7】(沉着的，平静的) and kind.”

The whole village went to see him. They couldn't believe it. “Nothing【8】(特别的) has happened, in fact,” the man said. “For 80 years I've been looking for happiness, and it was no【9】(利用，使用). And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That's why I'm happy now.”

It is important to【10】(认识到) that your mood can affect the moods of those around you. Everyone has bad days sometimes. If someone tries to make you happy, just try to accept their help.
