24、What do you usually do in your spare time? Chatting online is now a national pastime(消遣) in China, especially among the post-90s and post-00s generation. To some people, however, online chats can seem like a kind of polite conversation. Yet hidden rules do exist(存在), as long as you take the time to look for them.
Get to the Point
When sending a friend request, include your real name and any other identifying(身份辨别) information. Remember, everybody’s time is valuable. If there’s something you want, cut right to the chase. Never send an “Are you there?” without any follow-up messages. The quicker that you get to the point, the more likely the other person is to reply.
Send the Right Things
Please send texts, not voice messages. It might be easier for you to speak than type, but what about the person on the other end? They may be unable to listen to a 59-second message right now. Also, never send information by voice message—it is hard to note down. Emojis(表情符号) and GIFs can save the day when you find yourself in an embarrassing conversation, or words fail you.
Try to Understand
You can always judge a person’s mood by their text messages. If the person you’re talking to says “Good night” or “I’m going to take a shower.” that’s probably not what they’re actually going to do. It is just an excuse to stop talking to you. If someone waits for longer than three seconds before saying “Yes”, they probably really mean “No”. If you receive these emojis from friends who are older, read them literally (照字面地) (such as a smile or a wave). For the post-90s and post-00s generation, however, they could be speechlessness(无语).
【1】What may the underlined sentence mean?
A.Send your real name without any follow-up messages.
B.Tell others what you want without any other useless messages.
C.Send a friend request without any other identifying information.
D.Greet others politely by sending an “Are you there?” with emojis.
【2】What does the word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A.personal information
B.voice message
C.emoji
D.GIF
【3】Who will send you a wave to say goodbye according to the passage?
A.The post-80s generation.
B.The post-90s generation.
C.The post-2000s generation.
D.The post-2010s generation.
【4】What is the writer’s opinion about chatting online?
A.The ways you use to chat are the same as your parents.
B.Using too many emojis while chatting will annoy others.
C.Voice messages make it easier for others to understand you.
D.Your text messages on the phone will show what you’re feeling.
【5】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Hidden rules in chatting online.
B.Good ways of sending right things.
C.How to understand others through the messages.
D.How to get to the point when you’re chatting online.
25、Technology Progress
On June 22, 1927, Charles Lindbergh flew into Dayton, Ohio, for dinner at Orville Wright’s house. It had been just a month since the young pilot's first ever individual nonstop crossing of the Atlantic, and he felt he ought to pay respects to the pioneer of flight.
Forty-two years later, on July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong was allowed to bring a personal guest to the Kennedy Space Center to view the launch of NASA's towering Saturn V rocket. Armstrong invited his hero, Charles Lindbergh. That's how fast technology advanced in the 20th century.
However, progress isn't what it used to be now. Northwestern University economist Robert Gordon argues that by 1970, all the key technologies of modern life were in place: electricity, highways, telecommunications, and the like. After that, innovation (创新)and economic growth simply couldn't keep going as fast as the last 100 years-a period Gordon calls "the special century". Gordon argues the lives of people in developed nations look and feel the same in 2020 as they did in 1979 or 1989.
Slowing down is good in one small way, though bad in most of the ways that count. Rapid changes can sometimes be disorienting (令人迷惑的). And when things develop at a lower speed, people and institutions do have more time to breathe and fit in. But slowing down isn't what it should be. In many areas of technology, the forward movement today feels tragically slow, even nonexistent.
Consider consumer robotics. There's huge potential for robots to help us. But home robotics companies seem to keep folding. For example, social robot maker Jibo closed in March after raising almost $73 million.
Our century’s one signature technology achievement is smartphones. At this point, we've had them in our pockets long enough to begin to appreciate their dangers. Meanwhile, the list of possibly world-changing technologies that get people's attention but still remain in the original stage is very long. Self-driving cars, AR glasses. Need I continue?
Indeed, these are all hard problems. But historically, solving the big problems has required continuous, large-scale investment(投资), often with private markets and taxpayers sharing the cost. In this century, we need to undo some bad results of the last great boom (繁荣)by developing affordable zero-and negative-emissions technologies right now. That's another hard problem-and to solve it, we'll need to rethink what made the "special century" so special.
【1】The writer mentions Charles Lindbergh in Paragraphs 1 and 2 to show that __________.
A.Charles has contributed greatly to technology
B.Charles paid respects to the pioneer of flight
C.technology developed rapidly in the 20th century
D.technology has advanced to a higher new level
【2】The underlined word "folding” in Paragraph 5 probably means _____________.
A.shutting B.separating C.growing D.operating
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Some world-changing technologies are not making progress.
B.Home robotics companies failed because of little investment.
C.It's time to realize the disadvantages of fast development now.
D.It doesn't take us long before we realize the dangers of smartphones.
【4】The writer probably agrees _______________.
A.markets and taxpayers have a duty to develop technologies
B.innovation and investment are needed for technology advance
C.what made the last century special will happen in the new century
D.rapid changes in technology are bad in most of the ways that count
26、Just hearing the name of the great white shark makes people afraid. In fact, they have more to fear from us than we do from them. For many years, lots of great white sharks were killed.
But thanks to people’s efforts, the population of these sharks is rising again in the US, according to two recent studies.
Why is their growing population something to celebrate? Great white sharks play an important role in the ocean ecosystem. As the biggest predators, they help keep the population of other creatures from growing too large. If the population of an species(物种) gets too big, it will affect the food chain.
Although they are very important, great white sharks had been hunted for their meat and fins for a long time. In 1997, a law was passed in the US to stop the hunting of great white sharks. Gradually, the numbers of sharks started to increase.
The law wasn’t the only thing that has helped great white sharks. Environmental protection groups have also played a part. The research group, OCEARCH, puts an electronic device(装置) on a shark’s fin and then tracks(追踪) its movements. Just as important, they let the public follow each shark as it travels the world’s oceans. OCEARCH also gives each shark a name. The group’s most famous shark is a shark named Katharine. Thousands of people have tracked Katharine’s movements on the website. This helps people see sharks in a new way --- not just as the dangerous killers seen in movies. Learning about sharks makes people want to do more to protect them.
【1】 What is the good news mentioned in the second paragraph?
A. People can track sharks’ movements on a website.
B. The population of great white sharks is increasing.
C. Some new kinds of fish were found in the ocean.
D. Two recent studies show that great white sharks are not dangerous.
【2】Why are great white sharks important to the ocean ecosystem?
A. Their meant and fins are very valuable.
B. They can keep other ocean species away from danger.
C. Other Ocean species cannot live without great white sharks.
D. They can stop the population of other ocean species getting too big.
【3】The underlined word, “predators”, in the third paragraph probably means “_________” in Chinese.
A. 捕食性动物 B. 素食性动物
C. 海洋生物 D. 陆地生物
【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true about OCEARCH?
A. It works hard to make people want to do more to protect sharks.
B. It helps thousands of people find their pets.
C. Its most famous shark is called Katharine.
D. If fixes a small device on a shark’s fin.
27、 In the future, more and more people will move to big cities. To prepare for this, cities are becoming smarter and more efficient, with the help of big data.
Local governments are already collecting lots of important data. For example, there are sensors(感测器)that measure noise, pollution and traffic. This is known as "smart city technology". In the future, this data will make our lives much easier, by helping us save energy and keep the city tidy. There might even be smart posts that cull clean the air, or robots that empty rubbish bins when they are full.
Such technologies may be far off in the future, but others are just around the corner: self-driving cars are today being tested all around the world. Experts believe that this technology will change what cities look like. If self-driving taxis can use smart city data to find the best way to take you to your destination(目的地), there will be fewer traffic jams and more space for you to walk or ride a bike. People will probably stop buying cars altogether.
▲ : drones(无人机)are becoming more and more common nowadays. Cheap and fast
drone delivery services are only a few years away, and the sky above our heads will soon be very crowded. Hopefully, smart city technology will help prevent traffic jams in the air. Perhaps, drones will one day be able to transport people around town. Then, you could fly wherever you want to go!
To summarize, the cities of the future will be very different. What kind of city would you like to live in when you grow up?
【1】Why are the sensors mentioned in the second paragraph?
A.To show that cities are becoming much smarter.
B.To explain why there are more people in big cities.
C.To help people in cities live a more exciting life.
D.To invent some new ways of keeping the city tidy.
【2】What is a good result of using self-driving technology?
A.There will be fewer cars in the future.
B.Few people will ride a bike around.
C.People will have better driving skills.
D.All the car factories will go out of business.
【3】Which can be put in ▲ ?
A.But there will be traffic jams in the air
B.New technology will appear in the future
C.Change is not only happening on the ground
D.Technology will surely play a part in our future life
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Transportation in the Future. B.Important Data in Cities.
C.Smart City Technology. D.The Cities of the Future.

Last summer we went on an exciting trip to Sarawak in Malaysia, a part of the island of Borneo (婆罗洲). Borneo is famous for its rainforest, which 427,500 square kilometers of the island. This rainforest is 130 million years old, making it one of the rainforests in the world.
When we were in Sarawak, we were lucky enough to go hiking the jungle. In the jungle we came across many wild . Our favorite animals were orangutans (猩猩). We watched them swing tree to tree. The graceful and gentle animals made us feel even closer to .
