24、阅读理解

A

  Before the elevator was invented in the late 1800s，buildings were much smaller and lower，as people did not want to walk up and down stairs(楼梯)all day．With the invention of the elevator came high-rise buildings and skyscrapers．

  Some people find elevators make them a little uncomfortable because there are many people all standing close in a small room．It is best just to relax and enjoy the ride．

  When the elevator doors open，stand aside and let everyone out before you try to get in．Even if you are in a hurry，it’s impolite to push someone so that you can get into an elevator．

  Don’t stare at(盯着看)people or stand too close．Try to keep your eyes looking ahead or you could make others feel nervous or uncomfortable．

  If you have to move past people to get out of the elevator，say“Excuse me，please”or“I’m sorry”rather than just push them out of the way．Others will think you’re welcome if you show some politeness．

  If you are standing close to the buttons(按钮)，ask others what floors they are going to and press the buttons for them．This is considered to be polite．

25、   You’re rushing to school and a man ahead of you suddenly falls down. Do you stop to help? In a study of bystanders, it was found that some people look away or keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.

“There is an inclination(倾向) to decide that no action is needed,” says Ervin Staub, a psychologist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who studies the role of bystanders. “ The first thoughts that come into your mind often keep you from offering help.”

Time and again, good and caring people fail to come to the aid of others. They know they should act and yet, for reasons they themselves don’t understand, people sometimes don’t respond. Longtime researchers of bystander behavior continue to struggle with the question, “Why?”

One thing we do know is that the more ambiguous a situation is, the less likely people are to help. Let’s say you see vapors(水汽) coming out of a building. You ask yourself, “Is it steam(蒸汽) or smoke?” If you are not sure, you look to other people for a clue about how to react. If you see other people doing nothing, you think, “Of course, that’s just steam.” You don’t want it to be smoke, because then you would have to do something about it.

Another one is known as “ the bystander effect”. This says that the more people there are observing an emergency, the less responsible each one of them personally feels. For example, if you are the only person in the world who can act to save someone in a dangerous situation, you are more likely to act. However, if you are one of 100,000 people who could save the situation, you would be happier if one of the other 99,999 people did it!

“If you notice trouble, force yourself to stop and judge the situation instead of walking on,” says Ervin Staub. Then try to involve other people; you don’t have to take on all the responsibility of being helpful. According to Staub, it is sometimes just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, “It looks like we should do something.” Once you take action, most people will follow you and also offer help.

【1】Ervin Staub probably agrees that _____.

A. the bystanders force them to solve the troubles

B. people’s first thoughts usually prevent them from helping

C. the researchers often lead to the embarrassment

D. the person next to you often asks you to deal with emergency

【2】The word “ambiguous” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____”.

A. difficult B. dangerous C. unclear D. unpleasant

【3】The writer uses “ the bystander effect” to show that _____.

A. people usually think others a lot before the difficulties

B. people like to carry out the responsibility in emergency

C. people often share their ideas when they’re in dangerous situations

D. people are likely to behave in the same way as most other people do

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Is it important to offer help?

B. Is it difficult to get involved?

C. To stand there or take actions?

D. To change the decision or stick it?

26、China has a rich and colorful cultural history, and masks（面具）have played a major role in Chinese tradition for thousands of years. Why do people wear masks? The reasons are to protect their body, to hide themselves, or to have fun. In fact, masks are used all over the world.

27、On a rainy day, about 150 volunteers worked for eight hours to clean up Carson Creek that is near a river. About nine tons of trash was taken out from there. 

“We did a good job,” said Alan Specter, the organizer of the event. “We’re planning to come back here one more time, three years from now. Of course, we hope that there won’t be so much trash next time.”

The trash came in all shapes, sizes, and colors: cans, bottles, bicycles, batteries, furniture, clothing, plastic bags, dolls, and even a golf bag with a full set of golf clubs (球棒). 

The dirty and tiring work was done by two volunteering groups — Save the Bay and Watch the Whales. Most of the volunteers came from a local police station and a fire station. And some of them were old people who had already retired (退休). 

That day, it rained a little. All of them wore boots, gloves and raincoats. They did the work along a two-mile river with over 500 big yellow trash bags everywhere. 

No one found anything that cost much. A five-year-old boy found an earring which he thought might be worth a million dollars. He said he’d sell it. Then he’d donate half of the money to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy his favorite ice cream every day. 

Many people laughed at the boy’s story. However, it was easily found that the environment there did become better.

28、

China’s long history has left us with many valuable traditional Chinese paintings. While some of them were 【1】 [lɔst] during wars, many more survived (幸存) thousands of years and are now protected in museums throughout China and around the 【2】 [wɜ:ld]. Five Oxen is one of these great paintings.

Five Oxen was painted 【3】 Han Huang, a famous painter in Tang Dynasty. The painting is of great importance because it is the 【4】 (early) extant (现存的) paper painting in China. It is also one of the top 10 great works in China’s 【5】 [ɑːt] history. Most ancient Chinese paintings are about 【6】 (flower), birds, humans and nature, but Han’s painting of Five Oxen is an exceptio (例外).

Five Oxen is 139.8 cm long and 20.8 cm 【7】. The oxen are in a line, each walking or standing in different ways: the first one on the left is looking forward, the 【8】 one looking back, the third one is painted full-frontal, the fourth looking up and the fifth eating grass. The eyes of the oxen are painted so 【9】 (careful) that they bring the animals to life.

The painting changed hands many times during its long history. It disappeared in 1900 and was 【10】 (bring) back to China at a high cost. Now it is housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
