24、Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother’s Day, but not many know Mother’s Day is actually a festival from overseas.

Mother’s Day originated (起源) in America during the early 20th century. The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.

Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial (孝顺的) devotion to parents.

There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China. For example, the story of “Taste Liquid (液体的) Medicine for Mother” tells us the filial virtue (美德), mother love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son by Meng Jiao.

On special days, people often use roses or forget-me-nots to express love. Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own for mothers—the tiger lily.

Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.

26、

Passenger ships, trade ships, and fishing boats are a normal part of life on the open sea. However, all their activity creates a great deal of noise underwater. Scientists from the United States and Canada recently reported their observations (观察) that the ocean is getting noisier.

Scientists at the University of Victoria have studied the recordings recorded with equipment placed underwater near the busy shipping lanes off Vancouver Island in Canada. They say engine(发动机) noise is continuous during the day, and a little less strong at night.

Scientists say it is likely that whales must call out more loudly to be heard over this noise. The noise could make it more difficult for orca whales to find food. The orcas find fish by producing clicking sounds and other noises. Loud engine noise could beinterfering withtheir efforts.

Michael Jasny is a policy expert for the Natural Resources Defense Council. He says the rise of underwater noise is limiting the ability of whales to communicate.

Shipping noise falls across the same frequencies (频率) that these animals use for all their vital(重大的，紧要的) behaviors — for feeding, for finding mates, for avoiding predators (捕食者) and for going ahead.”

Mr. Jasny says sound travels very effectively underwater. And it is not just whales he is worried about.

“The whole web of life in the oceans depends on sound. And as more and more research has been done, it’s been very clear that what we have on our hands is really a major problem. It’s a serious problem. It’s a global problem. Fortunately, in shipping we have a problem that has a solution.”

One answer is to design quieter ships. America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, has four new ships that are made to be quieter. Michael Bahtiarian works for Noise Control Engineering, the company which helped design the boats.

Mr. Bahtiarian says the main source of noise pollution is the propeller(螺旋桨). Better shaped propellers and ship designs can help to reduce noise. NOAA’s ships also have costly engines, which produce less noise. Mr. Bahtiarian says the technology to make quieter ships does exist and has been used in the army for some time.

【1】The underlined phrase “interfering with” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A．controlling

B．troubling

C．encouraging

D．stopping

【2】We can tell that whales depend on sound for ________.

A．communicating with their mates

B．stopping predators from fishing

C．fighting against the shipping noise

D．telling the night time from the day

【3】From the passage we can learn that ________.

A．expensive engines produce less noise in the ocean

B．many animals in the ocean depend on sound for living

C．people should stop making big ships in order to save whales

D．it is difficult to find a way to stop noise pollution in the ocean

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

A．The Ocean is Getting Noisier.

B．Whales and Ships in the Ocean.

C．Whales are Facing a Serious Problem.

D．Quiet Ships are Needed in the Ocean.

27、Human activity is bringing big trouble to Mount Qomolangma. Both microplastics (微塑料) and climate (气候) change have a bad effect (影响) on the mountain, scientists say.

The highest mountain in the world is facing the problem of microplastics. A recent study found that the mountain is full of these plastics, which are usually less than 5 millimeters in size. They can be found in many things, including the clothing, tents and ropes that are left behind by climbers.

Microplastics take thousands of years to break down (分解) on their own. They are already known for posing a danger to sea animals. Now people are worried about Qomolangma, as the mountain already suffers (遭受) from serious pollution.

Global warming is also affecting the mountain, as well as its climbers. Another study points out that the glaciers (冰川) around Qomolangma have thinned by nearly 100 meters since the 1960s. As the ice melts (融化), cracks (裂缝) in the ice are becoming deeper and more dangerous, bringing danger to those who try to climb the mountain, according to Global News.

Landslides (滑坡) are also becoming more probable. There are many parts of the mountain that are held together by just frozen rocks or permafrost (永久冻土), according to Professor Joseph Shea at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. When this permafrost melts, the risk of dangerous landslides goes up.

【1】Why is Mount Qomolangma full of microplastics?

A．Because of climate change.

B．Because microplastics are tiny.

C．Because of human activity.

D．Because the mountain ice melts.

【2】What does the underlined word “posing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．导致

B．感觉

C．警告

D．控制

【3】How much have the glaciers probably thinned every ten years since the 1960s?

A．By about 10 meters.

B．By about 17 meters.

C．By about 24 meters.

D．By about 31 meters.

【4】In which part of a newspaper may this text appear?

A．Education.

B．Health.

C．Technology.

D．Environment.

Something that I learned from both my parents was the importance of having respect(尊重) for other people. I remember one day when we were travelling on a bus and I sat down while other people were standing. My mother cried to me, “________!

I think children nowadays have ________ that respect and it really makes me angry if I see children sitting down while ________ people are standing.

One area in which we had a lot of rules was table manners. For example, we aren’t allowed to start our meal ________ the oldest person had started.

Worse than that, we were only ________ to have sweets at the weekend, as a special treat if we had been good.
