24、   Scientists in Britain and the United States have made a new kind of enzyme(酵素) that eats plastics(塑 料). With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. Scientists believe that, in the future, it could solve the problem of plastic pollution.

The enzyme is able to break down PET, a form of plastic. PET was first made in the 1940s and is now widely used to make plastic bottles. It can remain in the environment for many years and pollute large areas of land and water. So it has always been a headache to deal with the waste from PET and other plastics.

The researchers made the discovery(发 现) while examining the structure of a natural enzyme in Japan. They found that the natural enzyme was helping to break down PET plastics. So, they decided to make small changes to the enzyme by adding some amino acids(氨 基 酸). It made the natural enzyme’s plastic-eating abilities work faster and better.

John McGeehan, one of the lead researchers, said, “We’ve made an improved enzyme. It’s better than the natural one. And we are trying to make more improvements to it.” He went on, “The enzyme is not harmful to humans or animals, and it is friendly to the environment. So we are considering putting it into wider use.”

The team is now trying to make the enzyme break down PET in large quantities(大量). “We’ll see that the plastic pollution may be stopped with this technology. However, there is still a long way to go,” John McGeehan added.

【1】Which is not true about the advantage of enzyme?

A.It’s able to make plastics become smaller parts.

B.It can solve the problem of the plastic pollution right now.

C.It’s used to make the plastics disappear in a rapid way.

【2】The underlined phrase “break down” in the passage probably means “________” in Chinese.

A.实验 B.生产 C.分解

【3】Which isn't the change they made to the natural enzyme?

A.Some amino acids were put in it.

B.The speed of plastic-eating has been improved.

C.The quality of plastic -eating remained the same.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.The scientists are still trying to improve the enzyme.

B.The enzyme will pollute large areas of land and water.

C.The natural enzyme woks better than the improved one.

【5】We can’t infer from the study that________.

A.The team is able to increase the speed of the plastic -eating abilities

B.Efforts are made to increase the number of PET that the enzyme breaks down

C.Few efforts are required to the improvement of this new enzyme

25、   Everyone loves money! But do you know where money came from? Who were the first people to use money? Scientists say that over 10,000 years ago, people in Swaziland(斯威士兰), Southern Africa, were using red dye(染料) as a type of money around that period of time. Later, people in several places used shells and other valuable things as a type of money to “buy” or “trade for” things they wanted. This is known as a form of trade where some goods are exchanged for other goods.

Many things have been used as “money” from pigs to salt. For a long time, pepper(胡椒粉) could be used to “pay for” things in Europe. On the Micronesian island of Yap, people used very big stone “coins”, some of which were up to eight feet wide and weighed more than a small car.

But the most convenient forms of money were pieces of valuable metals like gold and silver. Historians think that the Lydians were the first people to introduce the use of gold and silver coins around 650 BC. Gold and silver are still quite valuable today.

The first banknotes(纸币) appeared in China in the 7th century, and the first banknotes in Europe came out in 1661.

Money has changed through the ages. However, it is more important today than ever before.

【1】How long ago did people start using money?

26、   Amy was a dear little girl, but she was too ready to waste time in getting ready to do her tasks, instead of doing them at once as she ought to.

In the village in which she lived, Mr. Thornton kept a store where he sold fruit of all kinds, including berries in their season. One day he said to Amy, whose parents were quite poor, "Would you like to earn some money?"

"Oh, yes, "replied she, "for I want some new shoes, and papa has no money to buy them with."

"Well, Amy," said Mr. Thornton, "I noticed some fine, ripe blackberries in Mr. Green's field today, and he said that anybody was welcome to them. I will pay you thirteen cents a quart(度量单位) for all you will pick for me."

Amy was delighted at the thought of earning some money; so she ran home to get a basket, intending to go immediately to pick the berries.

Then she thought she would like to know how much money she would get if she picked five quarts. With the help of her slate(书写板) and pencil, she found out that she would get sixty-five cents.

"But supposing I should pick a dozen quarts," thought she, "how much should I earn then?" "Dear me!" she said, after figuring(测算) a while, "I should earn a dollar and fifty-six cents."

Amy then found out what Mr. Thornton would pay her for fifty, a hundred, and two hundred quarts. It took her some time to do this, and then it was so near dinner time that she had to stay at home until afternoon.

As soon as dinner was over, she took her basket and hurried to the field. Some boys had been there before dinner, and all the ripe berries were picked. She could not find enough to fill a quarter of a quart.

As Amy went home, she thought of what her teacher had often told her－"Do your task at once; then think about it," for "One doer(实干家) is worth a hundred dreamers."

【1】The store keeper asked Amy if she would like to earn some money by _________.

A. selling fruits B. selling some new shoes

C. picking the berries D. figuring the earning

【2】How many times did Amy figure with her slate?

A. 6. B. 5. C. 4. D. 3.

【3】What can we infer from the story?

A. Amy's family was very poor.

B. Amy was good at counting with a slate.

C. Mr. Thornton was the richest person in the village.

D. Amy would learn a better lesson from this experience than from school.

【4】The best title of the passage may be "_________".

A. The money Amy did not earn

B. The girl did not like to waste time

C. Amy, a good student to her teachers

D. A poor girl wanted to earn some money

27、We often praise the world of science. It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能，AI). This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that think like humans.

However，one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.

“The development of full artificial intelligence could lead to the end of the human race,” said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.

Hawking is a well-known British Physicist and writer of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came from a serious disease called ALS; he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.

This is a basic type of AI, which is very useful, yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can match or go beyond human intelligence. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films display big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution(进化), couldn’t compete, ” said Hawking.

But not every scientist is pessimistic(悲观的)about AI technology. “I believe we will remain in charge of（掌控) the technology. “ The potential(潜力)of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized.” In what direction do you think AI is going? Should we be hopeful or fearful?

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about AI？

A. The technology is not very popular now.

B. Scientists haven’t controlled the technology.

C. It is now much smarter than humans.

D. It makes our lives easier.

【2】The writer took Hawking as an example to ____________.

A. explain how AI has helped us

B. show the great hidden use of AI

C. show AI has already become part of our life

D. suggest that AI become dangerous for humans

【3】What would be the best title for this passage?

A. AI: a friend or an enemy?

B. The development of AI

C. The future of human beings

D. The fight between humans and AI

28、 阅读下面短文， 按要求补全表格。(每空限填一词)

It is said that the eyes are “the windows of our soul”. Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look very attractive. However, to have healthy eyes you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need taking good care of.

Be careful with your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. They are fresh fruits and vegetables as fish, eggs, and milk. Besides, a regular amount of vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.

A regular and sound sleep is a must. It relaxes your eyes and gives them enough rest. Sleep not only helps repair the tired body. Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eye.

You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink (眨眼) your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs full of water and gives them a good wash.

We use our eyes in many wrong ways. Fox example, if a small thing goes into our eye we start rubbing it, which is wrong. Rubbing can hurt your eyes. Don’t read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses as sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Light should not shine directly in your eyes. Too much reading, watching TV or working on the computer can also cause eye tiredness.

Remember to always take care of God’s most beautiful gift to you. Your life will be very colorless without your eyes.
