25、阅读短文，根据短文内容判断句子正误。正确的涂A，错误的涂B。

With her eyes feeling increasingly tired and unclear, 16-year-old Sun Run went to the hospital with her parents in January. She was shocked when she found out that her eyesight was from 5. 0 to 4. 6 in only a term. “A few of my friends have had the same experience lately,” Sun said.

In fact, poor eyesight among Chinese primary and high school students rose from 59. 2 percent to 70. 6 percent in the first six months of 2020 because of online classes.

To protect students’ eyesight, the Chinese government has worked out new requirements for school supplies (供应) and equipment (设备) that will work on March 1, 2022.

According to the requirements, the size of text in students’ textbooks should be no smaller than nine-point. Teachers should also avoid using multimedia (多媒体) equipment like screens that are too bright. There are also requirements for desk and classroom lights. For example, these lights should give off as little blue light as possible. Blue light is bad for our eyes, but many of the electronic instruments we use every day, including our phones and computer screens, give off blue light.

Chinese government has also taken other steps to protect students’ eyesight in China. In May 2021, the National Health Commission required schools to make sure that students have at least two hours of outdoor activity a day.

【1】Sun Run’s eyesight increased by 0.4 in only a term.

【2】We can infer that the rise of students with poor eyesight over the first half of 2020 is caused by long time’s looking at screens.

【3】There are 3 requirements for school supplies and equipment mentioned in the passage to protect students’ eyesight.

【4】Teachers should stop using screens or other multimedia equipment to protect students’ eyesight.

【5】The purpose of the passage is to tell students how to use electronic instruments correctly.

27、   If you live in Shanghai, Beijing or many other cities, you may see many orange bicycles on the streets these days.

These bikes are owned by a company called Mobike. You can order a bike through an app on your phone. When you find a bike, you just scan a QR code (扫描二维码) on the bike so you can use it. You don’t need to return the bike to a station — you can park it anywhere.

China was known as “the kingdom of bicycles” about 30 years ago. But more people choose to drive cars and catch the subway these days. Bike rental (租赁的) services like Mobike are bringing bikes back.

“Back then, I got the feeling that Chinese people were trying to be modern and push away the past. So they did not want to be linked with bicycles,” said Ines Brunn, a German woman who runs a bike store in Beijing. “I do believe changes in people’s tastes will shape new thinking about bikes.”

Online rental services are making biking more convenient, but it’s still not easy to ride bikes in Chinese cities. Cars often take up bicycle lanes (道路). Bikers have to ride next to cars in car lanes, which can be very dangerous.

Beijing plans to build over 3,200 km of new bike lanes. Drivers who drive in bike lanes will be punished. Traffic signs will be put up to better protect bikers.

【1】If you want to use a Mobike, ________.

A.you have to scan a QR code B.you don’t need to pay for it

C.you don’t have to return it D.you have to pay for an app

【2】Which of the following is NOT true, according to Paragraph 3?

A.China had the most bicycles in the world about 30 years ago.

B.There are more bicyclists than motorists these days.

C.More people are driving cars or taking the subway these days.

D.Bike rental services are becoming more popular.

【3】What does Ines Brunn mean when she says people’s tastes are changing?

A.Chinese people like modern things. B.Chinese people like riding bicycles.

C.People in Beijing are changing their tastes. D.More people will start riding bikes.

【4】How will Beijing stop cars from taking up bicycle lanes?

① People will not be allowed to ride bikes next to cars.

② Beijing will build new bike lanes.

③ Beijing will punish drivers who drive in bike lanes.

④ Beijing will put up traffic signs to protect bikers.

A.①③④ B.②③④

C.①②③ D.①②④

【5】Which is the best title for the story?

A.How to use a Mobike B.Orange bikes will be fashionable

C.Bringing back bikes D.Why is Beijing building new bike lanes?

28、   Chinese writing is one of the world’s greatest writing systems. It is more widely in use than alphabetic(字母的) writing systems. More than half of the world’s books are written in Chinese, i【1】historical writing and novels, along with writing on government and law.

At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based l【2】. It dates back several thousand years to the use of animals bones and shells on w【3】symbols were carved(刻) by ancient Chinese people. Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in t【4】hanzi.

By the Shang Dynasty, these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system d【5】into different forms, as it was a time when people were divided geographically, leading to different dialects(方言) and characters. This, however, c【6】 under Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty.

Emperor Qinshihuang united(统一) the seven major states into one country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. That writing system was of great i【7】 in uniting the Chinese people and culture. Even today, no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak, they can all still communicate in w【8】. Written Chinese has also become an important method to connect China’s present with its p【9】. People in modern times can read the classic works which were written by Chinese in ancient times.

Today, Chinese writing system is still an important part of Chinese culture. As China plays a great role in the world, an increasing number of international students are beginning to appreciate(欣赏) China’s culture t【10】this amazing language. Written Chinese spreads Chinese culture wherever it goes.
