24、   On Feb 12, 2020, Dalian (not his real name) was taking a train to Changsha, Hunan, for a business trip. While on the train, he went into a carriage (车厢) to have lunch and chose to remain in the carriage. He did not realize that the carriage was only for people heading to Wuhan. Several hours later, when the train arrived in Wuhan, Dalian was asked to get off, as he was in the special carriage. Although he was surprised, he didn’t want to cause trouble and got off the carriage with just a single bag. As Wuhan had been locked down because of the epidemic, Dalian couldn’t find a hotel to stay in. Feeling at a loss, he saw a notice online looking for volunteers to work in hospitals. The payment was 500 yuan a day. Dalian decided to give it a try. He soon became a volunteer at Wuhan No. 1 Hospital. He was responsible for taking out trash, mopping (拖) the floor, disinfecting (消毒) the hospital, dealing with used protective suits and bringing meals to patients. The young man, reportedly from northeast China, had to work 12 hours every day, changing his protective suit three times a day. While working, he couldn’t drink anything or go to the bathroom. He also had to have close contact with infected patients, which is risky. Dalian was afraid of getting infected at first. “When I entered the wards (病房), I was kind of frozen (僵硬的) and felt like I couldn’t move,” he said. But after seeing more patients get better, his fear gradually went away.

Dalian’s story has since gone viral (走红的) online. People were surprised by his experience, but also described him as having “a heart of gold”.

【1】Why did Dalian have to get off in Wuhan?

A.Because he went there for a business trip. B.Because he chose to have lunch in Wuhan.

C.Because he was in the wrong carriage. D.Because he bought the wrong train ticket.

【2】What made Dalian decide to work at a hospital?

A.He had volunteer experience. B.He wanted to become a doctor.

C.He ran out of money. D.He had nowhere to go.

【3】Dalian’s job includes________.

a. taking out trash and mopping the floor 

b. disinfecting others’ protective suits

c. dealing with used protective suits

d. bringing meals to doctors

A.ab B.ac C.bd D.cd

【4】What does this passage try to tell us?

A.Everybody should volunteer at a hospital.

26、   At a farm off Narrow Lane near Lexington, Kentucky, US, there is a little red barn (畜舍). The farm is mostly empty now. Jim Mahan and his family, who lived there for generations(世代),have moved to a different place in northern Fayette County.

But during the summer, the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm.

They're members of the Fayette County Livestock Club. In this club, children learn many skills, such as cutting wool and taking care of animals.

"A lot of Lexington kids don't know anything about farm life," said Adria Meier,17, who has looked after goats(山羊)and sheep for three years. "There is so much to learn. "

Children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little red barn must take a six-hour class before they get an animal of their own. They pay for their own animals but get special club programs for free, such as one that provides animal care.

Mahan lets the group use the barn for free. The kids spend up to three hours a day there during the summer.

There are valuable lessons learned along the way. For instance, don't cut the wool off your goats and sheep when there is wind. Sheep are social animals and they will cry loudly when they are separated.

"Looking after animals helps teach us responsibility. Unlike learning to swim or play soccer, caring for an animal isn't something you can simply abandon(遗弃),"said Carly Playforth.

【1】What do we know about Jim Mahan?

A.He is a member of the livestock club. B.He is the organizer of the livestock

C.He is the owner of the farm. D.He is a soccer coach.

C.Care for animals alone. D.Provide special club programs.

A.It's not necessary to learn to swim or play soccer.

B.Children learn to be responsible by looking after animals.

C.People can give up swimming or soccer easily.

D.Caring for animals is more important than playing sports.

【5】What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Kids' life on a sold farm B.A little red barn

C.Ways to look after animals D.A club activity of caring for animals

27、   You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic(有诗意的) Chinese?

Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions(《红楼梦》 ), written by Cao Xueqin（_________）—1763 ).Now the book has been made into an English language opera. The opera was first performed last September in San Francisco, the US. This month it came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan.

Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights( 剧作家 ).Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera.

The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But the opera writer David Henry Hwang reduced the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbroken tragedy that everyone would understand.

The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes(服装)and stage settings(布景).He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on the stage, there is usually water around her on the stage.

The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audience. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born”.

【1】 　　　　wrote the opera for the Chinese classic novel A Dream of Red Mansiorns.

A.Lin Daiyu B.Cao Xueqin

C.Jia Baoyu D.David Henry Hwang

A.The language used. B.The sad love story.

C.The number of characters. D.The whole family’s story.

【3】The underlined word “tragedy” probably means　　　　 in Chinese in this passage.

A.喜剧 B.悲剧 C.科幻剧 D.生活剧

【4】The creators made the book into an English-language opera because________.

A.they had backgrounds in Western culture

B.they thought the book was not good enough

C.they hoped to help others learn English

D.they wanted Westerners to know about the Chinese novel

【5】The best title of the passage is probably　　　　.
