24、   Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers（低头族）.

Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities(身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍） in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction(毁灭) of the world.

Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.

Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At parties with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

【1】For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?

A.To tell people the bad influence of phubbing.

B.To advertise the cartoon made by students.

C.To show the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.

D.To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.

【2】Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?

A.His social skills could be affected.

B.His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.

C.He will cause the destruction of the world.

D.He might get separated from his friends and family.

【3】What may the passage talk about next?

A.Advice on how to use a cell phone.

B.People addicted (沉迷) to phubbing.

C.Ways to reduce the risks of phubbing.

D.Results of phubbing.

25、Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.

  The eye-recognition (眼睛识别) program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.

  However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or from the mark made by your finger.

  Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programs may only be 51%. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.

  In the future your computer will recognize you in the eye. So smile!

【1】What will the program for remembering eyes be used for?

A. Banks and computers.    B. Banks and shops.

C. Schools and computers.  D. Schools and shops.

【2】How does the eye-recognition program work?

A. You look at the machine and type a number.

D. You look at the machine.

【3】Which recognition program is already in use?

A. Remembering eyes and smell.  B. Remembering fingers or voices.

C. Remembering faces and voices. D. Remembering hands and faces.

【4】What problems could there be with the eye-recognition program?

A. Some eyes are the same.     B. Eyes can change.

C. It is not always correct. D. Eyes can get dirty.

【5】What’s the advantage of using recognition programs in this passage?

A. You needn’t remember a number.

B. You needn’t take money with you.

C. You don’t need to speak.

D. People think they are interesting.

26、Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.

Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of nature.

Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional (偶尔的) walk in one of the parks and a fortnight's (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest of the country they are quite prepared to spend with those who are glad to get away from London every night.

【1】Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. People who love nature prefer to live outside the city.

B. People who work in London prefer to live in the city.

C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.

D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.

【2】One can use the same money for _______ to buy a little house with a garden in the country.

A. getting a small flat with a garden

B. having a small flat with a garden

C. renting a small flat without a garden

D. buying a small flat without a garden

【3】People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London.

A. their life was meaningless

B. their life was invaluable

C. they didn't need a happy life

D. they couldn’t sleep late in the morning

【4】What does the writer think of the life in London?

A. He likes living in the city centre.

B. He prefers to live in the countryside.

C. It isn’t mentioned in the passage.

D. He enjoys working in the garden at weekends.

27、 “I am a selfish child.

I hope the sunshine lies only upon me, so I can feel its warmth.

I am a selfish child.

I hope there is a corner of the world that can comfort me when I am sad.

I am a selfish child.

I hope my mum belongs only to me, so I can enjoy the sweetness of love.”

This poem was written by a middle school student in a lonely mountainous town in Yunnan Province during her first poetry class. The girl missed her mother, who died when she was 5.

Kang Yu, the teacher who taught the girl how to write the poem, graduated from Renmin University of China in Beijing in 2015. Soon after her graduation, Kang moved to a town in Yunnan, and worked as a teacher at a middle school.

Kang said, “Compared with students in the city, perhaps students in the countryside need a way to express their feelings and be heard more.” Supported by the headmaster and other teachers, the school held eight poetry classes for students every year.

As the classes grew in popularity, Kang became the school’s favorite teacher. After she finished her teaching at the school in June 2017, she returned to Beijing and planned to study abroad.

However, on Teachers’ Day in 2017, Kang received a big box full of poems and letters written by students at her old school. She felt she was needed and decided to abandon her plan of studying abroad. Instead she set up Enlighten our Future, a charity that teaches students in the countryside how to write poems.

“Now, I go to several places every week. I sleep less than six hours a night and the job provides no vacations and little money, but the happiness and satisfaction I feel is rewarding enough.” Kang said.

【1】What’s the poem about at the beginning of the passage?

A．A world which is full of love.

B．A mother who misses her child.

C．A child who is in need of mother’s love.

D．A child who can feel the sun’s warmth.

【2】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “abandon”?

A．make up.

B．give up.

C．put off.

D．look up.

【3】Which of the following information is true according to the passage?

A．There was a school named Enlighten Our Future which Kang had ever worked.

B．The school held eight poetry classes for students every term.

C．Kang said she was doing a well-paid job and had some vacations.

D．Before Kang set up the charity, she taught in Yunnan for about two years.
