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、I’m learning English in the UK where I meet a lot of new friends and eat something delicious. Hot pot is many Chinese people’s favourite food, including me. After having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes in the UK, how excited I was to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell the hot pot in the air. To my surprise, when I stepped into the room, in front of me were still potatoes and bread. Where was the hot pot?

With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with a French girl, I got to know that hot pot is completely different from hotpot. Chinese hot pot is written in two words and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.

Hotpot is made of mutton(羊肉) and onion. On the top there are sliced potatoes. People put it in the stove all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it’s easy to prepare for a large number of people and not expensive.

Hotpot doesn’t taste bad. However, I still miss hot pot, two words!

A．meet some Chinese friends

26、   When taking an elevator, do you often push the “close” button? You hope by pushing it, the elevator door will close faster. But what if the button is actually fake（假的）?

Karen Penafiel is the executive director（执行董事）of the US National Elevator Industry. She said that elevators’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the US, and that doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you push.

In the 1990s the Americans with Disabilities Act（《美国残疾人法案》）was passed in the US. It means all elevators have to stay open long enough to allow disabled（残疾的）people to enter. Only US firefighters and elevator workers can really use the buttons with special keys.

But the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists（心理学家）, fake buttons can make you feel better. They give you a sense of control that can help reduce stress. That’s why some other buttons in our lives are fake, too.

For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats（温控器）. People may feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.

You were told that traffic light buttons could help make the traffic signals change faster. But they may not really work either.

However, even when people know these little “white lies”, they still push fake buttons. As long as the doors finally close, it seems worthy.

John Kounios is a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US. He told The New YorkTimes that he always pushes the traffic light buttons. “After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not push the button on the off chance that this one will work?”

【1】You push the “close” button in the US, the elevator door will ________.

A.close immediately B.not be completely open

C.play a trick on you D.not close as fast as you wish

【2】The US, in order for disabled people to go in safely, ________.

A.elevator workers will press the “open” button for them

B.they will be given a special key to use in the elevators

C.all elevators are designed to open long enough

D.no “close” button is fixed on the elevators

【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned as fake?

A.Thermostat buttons. B.Elevator buttons.

C.Traffic light buttons. D.Power buttons.

【4】There are quite a few fake buttons in our lives because they can ________.

A.control people’s senses B.help people feel better

C.control the temperature D.tell “white lies”

【5】The underlined words “on the off chance” in the last paragraph most probably mean “______”.

A.with the little hope B.without any plan

C.with a great opportunity D.without any possibility

【6】The best title for the passage is ________.

A.Button pushing society B.Useless buttons

C.Buttons for disabled people D.Fake elevator buttons

27、   Barbara Finch, from England, started a friendship with Elizabeth Martin from New Zealand when the two were just 14 years old. And they have been penfriends for the past seventy years.

“We e-mail each other now rather than write letters, partly because it's quicker but mostly because there's no cost,” Barbara says.

The pair not only write to each other, but they also meet face to face. They have visited each other 15 times — Barbara flying to New Zealand 10 times and Elizabeth flying to England 5 times.

“Look Bob!” she said, standing beside him. “I’ve got something to ______ you.” She took out the erasers, one at a time, and put them on the desk.
