24、   Final exams are just around the comer. Liu Haoxuan,14, who studies at Beijing Dayu School, is quite busy. However, he still had to find time to practice his spoken English. That’s because he had to take a new English listening and speaking test.

Liu is not alone. This is a new test for all students who are taking senior high school entrance exams (中考）in Beijing. Junior 3 students have to take an English listening and speaking test that counts for 40 points on their full English exam. The test is taken on a computer. They can take the test twice---once in December and again in March---to try to get the highest score possible. The test was just introduced last year.

During the 30-minute test, students have to fill in blanks, answer questions and retell stories after listening to different materials. “It pushes us to speak. Though it was hard at the beginning, it's a good thing,” Liu said. He got a low score when he first took it last semester. But he kept working hard in order to improve his pronunciation and other skills. He practiced speaking in front of a mirror every day. Later, he got a score of 39 on the test.

Liu Tianyou,14, from Beijing Yuying Middle School, has his own way to prepare for the spoken English test. He uses apps to take practice tests every day. “The apps will score your performance so that you can improve accordingly,” he said. “Also, the practice tests help me learn to take notes properly. They help me grasp topic sentences and connection words.”

25、根据下面一篇短文的内容判断下列句子的正误，正确的用 “A” 表示，错误的用“B”表示

I have never taken cooking classes. I learned cooking from my mother because she was really interested in teaching me how to cook. The main reason for this was because when my mother got married, she didn't know how to cook anything, not even an egg. My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking.

My mother did not start to cook until she was twenty-five years old. In the beginning, it was very hard for her. Therefore, she had to take cooking classes to prepare(准备)our meals. After having that experience, she decided to teach me how to cook because she didn't want me to have the same experience.

I remember when I was seven years old, I started to learn cooking from my mother. Sometimes we prepared the meals that my mother already knew how make, and sometimes we prepared meals from recipes. Thanks to that experience, now I don't need any help to cook a meal. I can cook for myself or for a group of people; it doesn't matter. I will do the same with my children because I don't want them to have the same experience as my mother. If one day I am not with them, I want to be sure that they can continue their life without me.

【1】The author learned cooking from her mother because they all liked cooking.

【2】The author’s mother learned cooking by taking cooking classes.

【3】The author began to learn to cook when she was seven years old.

【4】The author learned cooking only by preparing the meals she knew quite well.

【5】The author will do as her mother to make her children know the way of cooking.

26、The novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) has already made tens of thousands of people sick. Where did the virus come from? Scientists say it probably came from bats.

Bats can carry and transmit (传播) more than 60 viruses that can infect (传染) humans, Live Science noted. They include the world’s deadliest viruses, such as Ebola and HIV. Due to their strong immune systems (免疫系统), bats are able to host these viruses and not get sick. At the same time, the viruses keep developing inside the bats to create new variants (变体). These variants can then infect new hosts, such as other wild animals.

Pangolins (穿山甲), for example, might be an intermediate host (中间宿主) for NCP, according to a recent study by Chinese scientists. This means that bats might have given the virus to pangolins, with pangolins then spreading it to humans.

Wild animals like snakes, hedgehogs (刺猬) and bamboo rats also carry various viruses. But since they live in the wild, there should be little chance for humans to come into contact with them and get infected – unless the animals are eaten or used to make animal products. When people hunt, buy and eat wild animals, they can introduce viruses to the rest of the population.

But this doesn’t mean that we should kill wild animals. Each species has a role in the ecosystem (生态系统) and all of them are important in keeping a natural ecological balance. The lesson we can learn from disease outbreaks is to respect and protect animals and to live in harmony with them instead of hunting, killing, or eating them.

【1】Why can bats host many viruses without getting sick?

A．Because these viruses are not deadly.

B．Because they have strong immune systems.

C．Because the viruses are kept in balance.

D．Because they can spread the viruses to other animals.

【2】According to a recent study, humans might get infected with COVID-19 from________.

A．pangolins

B．snakes

C．hedgehogs

D．bamboo rats

【3】What does the word “harmony” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．隔离

B．和谐

C．伤害

D．集中

【4】According to the story, what lesson should humans learn?

A．Research more about wild animals.

B．Exercise regularly to stay healthy.

C．Stop keeping animals as pets.

D．Don’t buy or eat wild animals.

27、   Amy is a biologist(生物学家)working at a marine(海洋的) park. These kinds of parks provide fun and education for tens of thousands of people each year.

Amy takes care of many animals in the park, but she also does important research. As she observes the animals that she looks after, she learns more about their needs and behavior. This information helps the animals in the park, but it can also be used to protect other members of the species in the wild.

It's hard work to look after these animals. Their needs often change according to different hours of the day. So Amy must depend on her science knowledge and good number sense to help her make the right decisions all day long.

Even though dolphins spend much of their time underwater, they are mammals(哺乳动物). This means that they must come to the surface to take in air. Dolphins give birth to their young. They're not hatched from eggs. Just like all other mammals, mother dolphins must nurse, or feed milk to their babies.

Amy and her team know this first-hand. One of their dolphins recently gave birth. A baby dolphin is not small, either. It was almost 1 meter long the day it was born. A big dolphin usually eats about 4% of its body weight in food every day. Amy knows that a mother dolphin that is nursing needs twice the food. So when the baby dolphin was born, Amy immediately doubled the mother's food every day.

【1】How much food does a 300 kg mother dolphin need every day?

A.600kg. B.12kg. C.24kg D.52 kg.

【2】What does Amy need to make the right decision according to this passage?

A.Good eyes and quick mind.

B.Swimming skills and spirit of competition.

C.Love and care for animals.

D.Science knowledge and good number sense.

【3】What does the underlined word "observes" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.nurses the young animals B.watches something carefully

C.plays with something D.says something about

【4】Why is the information Amy learns very helpful?

A.It helps to protect the animals in the park as well s those in the wild.

B.It offers fun and education to tens of thousands of people.

C.It helps dolphins to feed milk to their babies.

D.It helps underwater animals to come to the surface.

【5】This passage is mainly about __________________________.

A.dolphins' life and food B.Amy's job at a marine park

C.education in a park D.protecting animals in the wild

28、Being a youth is one thing, and being a good one is another. A good youth should have these qualities: F【1】of all, health, a healthy body is the best wealth. Without it, n【2】can be done well. If you are poor in health, you’ll have to take m【3】day after day. Even you can’t work, do sports and so on; Secondly, one must be of good quality. Always do something for others. Help those in trouble and c【4】about the people around you. If everyone did the same, what a w【5】world this would be! Thirdly, one must have the ability to work with others. Cooperation and communication are two important k【6】to better human relationship. Everyone needs friends b【7】no one can live through life alone or do everything he wants to.

Besides the examples above, patriotism(爱国主义) is the one we should never forget. Patriotism means a love of one’s country. It is one of the h【8】qualities of human’s. Everyone should love his own country. But people sometimes think that patriots(爱国者)must be fighters or that they live in a time of f【9】for their country. That is wrong. A good youth’s work is not only fighting. A good youth will do the things his country asks him to do.

I think a good youth of today should also have some training in a【10】. If everyone can enjoy art and be able to make more of it for others, then people will live better and enjoy more.

29、   When was the last time you wrote a letter? If the answer is "not recently", don't worry. You are not _______. A survey of 1,000 _______ around the world done by the French stationery(文具) company BIC found that a third of today's teenagers had never written a letter, half had not written a thank-you letter, and a quarter had not even written a birthday or Christmas card. In fact, 58 percent of teenagers _______that handwriting was "too slow" and 17 percent believed it was "outdated".

These results have caused worries that the art of handwriting may one day _______. "_______ is one of the most creative art forms we have and should be given the same _______ as other art forms such as painting, or photography," Jonathan Skyrme, general manager at BIC UK & Ireland, told the Daily Mail. The New York Times explained that a handwritten letter _______ a message in a way that online messages can never do. "When you get an email, you can never be sure that you are the only person to have _______ it—or even that it was written by the person who sent it," said the newspaper. _______ US author Simon Garfield once wrote, "Emails are apoke (蜻蜓点水), but letters are a loving touch. "

So imagine the powerful message you send when you ________ write out your thoughts by hand, buy a stamp, take it to a mailbox, and wait days for your special someone to receive it.
