24、Not only a popular singer was Yao Beina, but also she was an energetic and warm-hearted angel. She had her corneas (眼角膜) donated to two men who needed them, which helped them see the world clearly again.

27、   Being a teenager can be challenging, but it can also be exciting. You’re becoming more independent and making decisions for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain.

The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult. Imagine the structure (结构) of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations (目的地). When you were a child, as you learnt new things, your brain made more and more roads to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, many different roads lead to the most important places on the map. Now your brain’s job is to make that map more efficient (有效率的).

As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands. As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video-game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a pilot.

This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you’re good at and try what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick to them if you think they’re useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future.

【1】What happens as children learn new things?

A．Their brains make the maps more efficient.

B．The structures of their brains are like big road maps.

C．Their brains make more roads to different destinations.

D．Many different roads lead to the most important places.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Your brain.

B．Something you see.

C．Your skill.

D．Something you learn.

【3】Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．Making Decisions for Yourself.

B．Developing Your Brain for the Future.

C．Ways of Changing Your Brain.

D．Changes Happening in Your Brain.

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整，每空限填一词。

Do you like to read magazines such as Reader’s Digest（《读者文摘》）in your spare time? Reading magazine articles is often e【1】 because they are interesting, provide new angles（角度）on familiar topics or help you relate to a current trend.

Now, if you are keen on writing and want to become a magazine writer, the f【2】 two tips will help you start your writing journey.

Topics of magazine articles are a【3】 being updated（更新）. Consider the recent topics you talked about with a friend. If you have had a good c【4】 about a trend（热门话题）, a topic or a problem these days, think about h【5】 you may be able to turn it into a story idea. For example, you can write something about the new trends on social media such as “COVID-19” and “online learning”. The conversations do not need to be about a big problem. Having conversations with your friends will allow you to d【6】 recent and local topics with them. Then they can be turned into an idea for your magazine article.

Next, think of a new angle on a familiar topic. This new angle will make your magazine feel f【7】 and new. Then it will stand out and attract reader’s a【8】.

29、B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文）

It was my first week in Kansas City, the USA. My friend, Sharon, asked me whether I'd like to try McDonald's for a quick lunch. So, we went. American fast food is quite popular in China, so I could_______ pick something that I used to have in Beijing-a super burger, a coke and French fries, though the names of the food were in English.________, the burger was much bigger than what I had back home. I thought to myself, after all, most Americans are bigger than Chinese. They must need more for lunch.

With my lunch set in front of me, I wanted some tomato sauce to_______my French fries, so I went to the waiter and asked him for some tomato sauce.

"What?" he looked puzzled. "Tomato sauce?"

I started to feel uncertain. I had studied English for six years. He should be able to understand me without any problems. Maybe, it was not called "tomato sauce" here, I________.

"I'm not sure what you call that thing," I tried again, "but it's American food, and you put tomato sauce on everything."

"Sorry , Miss," he said, shaking his head, "but we don't have tomato sauce here. Never have."

I walked back to Sharon and asked her the question. She smiled and asked me to wait for a moment. A few minutes later, she came back with several packages that I had asked for. So, they never used the________ packages for the tomato sauce. Oh, no, it's written right there, "Ketchup".

"What's the difference between Ketch-up and the tomato sauce?" I asked.

"I don't know________we call it this name," replied Sharon. "Never thought about it."

Sharon's smile suddenly made me realize that the difference between Ketch-up and the tomato sauce lay not so much in the food itself as in our different cultures.
