24、 Two more American universities, Adelphi University in New York, and Louisiana State University, have begun accepting scores from China’s national college entrance exam, or gaokao, in order to attract more Chinese students.
This means Chinese students no longer need to take the SAT, ACT or TOEFL. However, Chinese students must find ways to show their English skills. If they want to take part in Adelphi's international program and Louisiana State University’s global program, they must first finish eight weeks of English-language lessons, starting in October. After passing the exam, they can start their first year at one of the universities.
Since 2015, US universities have more accepted gaokao scores as part of the application(申请) process for Chinese students, but they still need either a basic English test score or to pass an interview.
“Chinese students at the university have achieved better grades than their US classmates, and that’s why we prefer students from China,” Shawn O’Riley, leader of the College said. “We have around 300 Chinese students and plan to increase the number. We also offer scholarship, from $5,000 to $15,000 depending on their gaokao score.”
Todd Ellwein, the director of Louisiana State University’s global program, said students who get high scores in the gaokao are not only the best students in China but also the world. The gaokao is a good way of choosing good students, and a high score in the exam means good basic knowledge, patience and a strong ability to deal with high pressure and compete with others.
Shi Yan, from Chivast Education International, said many universities in Hong Kong, Europe, Australia and Canada, have already made the gaokao an admission criterion(录取标准), too.
【1】When do the English-language lessons in these two universities begin?
A.In October. B.In November. C.In September.
【2】Why do some US universities like Chinese students better?
A.Because they are usually smarter in the universities.
B.Because their grades are better than the US classmates’.
C.Because they find ways to show their English skills.
【3】What does the underlined word “scholarship” mean in Chinese?
A.学者 B.学业 C.奖学金
【4】According to the passage, a high score means a lot EXCEPT ________.
A.high pressure B.good basic knowledge C.much patience
【5】The purpose of the passage is________.
A.to introduce China’s national college entrance exam, gaokao
B.to encourage more young people to enter American universities
C.to tell people the growing popularity of gaokao around the world
25、In a way, our moods (情绪) change with the weather. Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant weather can improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot weather can make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling our moods.
In a study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside. The former (前者) got better scores in running tests.
The best temperature for people is about 22.2℃. To improve moods, a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm weather. Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to (趋向) lower moods. It’s mostly because we don’t like to be inside when spring arrives. It is possible that inside activities seem boring.
Maybe the activities connected with being outside influence our moods. Warm weather makes us happier. Warm weather is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports, happy people and so on. It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day.
Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we’ll feel that day. If it’s rainy that won’t necessarily make us unhappy. We’ll just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!
Choose the best choice from A, B or C according to what you read.
【1】What influence does hot weather give to us?
A.Adding more pressure.
B.Improving our moods and memory.
C.Making us feel more tired and bored.
【2】What does the underlined word “spoiling” mean in Chinese?
A.破坏
B.改善
C.发现
【3】Why does warm weather make us happier?
A.Because we like spending time inside in warm weather.
B.Because warm weather is connected with outdoor activities.
C.Because outdoor activities can only be done in warm weather.
【4】What’s the writer’s opinion according to the last paragraph?
A.We should wake up early.
B.Rainy days make us unhappy.
C.Our moods are mainly decided by ourselves.
【5】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Rainy Days Make Us Sad
B.How the Weather Influences Our Moods

A few years later, Barton had his house repaired. The lost coin was found under the floor. Barton felt sorry and went to Lebeau to apologize. “But” he asked, “You know the coin was not in your pocket,” he said to Lebeau, “but why did you refuse to be searched?”

27、My father and I started our morning by moving quickly into the local store. I waited in the line at the Starbucks counter while he shopped around to pick up a few things.
As I was starting there I become aware of an elderly women, with untidy hair, wearing layers upon layers of old clothing, hunchbacked (弯背的) behind me in line. She had a few things for washing and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to ring up since that queue was shorter than the queues in the store.
At some point I became aware of her edging (慢慢挪动) closer behind me — closer than I was comfortable with! I instinctively (本能地) placed a hand over my purse and drew it close to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild stories about this homeless woman who might try to steal from me.
Then it was my turn to order. As the cashier rang up my total, I discovered I was 67 cents short. I called my father but he was hard of hearing. He asked me to repeat what I said but he still couldn’t make me out. At that point, a long, grey arm, with holes in its sleeves, reached over from behind me. She laid 67 cents out on the counter, saying, “Here, we all need some help sometimes.”
I was stunned! Here was a woman who clearly had very little to give and was in great need herself. I had judged her wrongly and she had offered to reach out to help me!
What an amazing gift and lesson this woman gave me about judging others! Thank you, God!

28、 It is a story. But I think this story will warm you better than a coffee 【1】 a cold winter day.
One day, my friend and I entered a little coffee house and 【2】(order) two cups of coffee. While we were waiting, two young men came in and began to order, “Five cups of coffee, please. Two of them for us and three suspended.” They paid for their order, took the two and left. I asked my friend, “What are those ‘suspended’ coffees?” Instead 【3】 giving me the answer, he told me 【4】(wait) and see.
Some more people entered. Two girls asked for one coffee each, paid, and went away. The next order was for seven coffees and it 【5】(make) by three lawyers—three for them and four “suspended”. While I still wondered 【6】the “suspended” coffees were, I enjoyed the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square in front of the cafe. 【7】(sudden) a man dressed in old clothes who looked like a beggar came in through the door and kindly asked, “Do you have 【8】 suspended coffee?”
At that moment, I understood the meaning of the suspended coffees. It’s simple—people pay the coffee in advance for someone who can’t afford it. The【9】(traditional) with the suspended coffees started in Italy, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, 【10】also a sandwich or a whole meal.
