24、We all have those moments when bright ideas hit us, but not everyone can develop such moments into the fruits of creative thinking. While we believe creative thinking is the falling apple of Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists, we seldom notice that creative thinking is in fact a process (过程).
Let’s look at what happened in 1666.
Sitting in the garden, Newton watched an apple fall from a tree. He began to wonder if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the moon circling the earth. Newton believed it did. He called it “gravity (重力)”.
This story has become one of the most popular examples of “eureka” moments. But when we cheer for the great discovery, the whole process of creative thinking shouldn’t be forgotten.
Newton studied mathematics for long to have a better understanding of the world. He always enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems. The falling apple was only the fruit of years of hard work before. It also started the train of thought that continued for the next twenty years.
Newton began to examine “gravity” carefully. He experimented (实验). Then he studied the results and used what he had learned to do new experiments. In 1687, the greatest scientific work ever written came out.
The whole process of creative thinking works the same in our life. In school, we prepare ourselves for the right moment. Once the moment comes, we catch it and then keep on working in the years to come. It takes much to get the fruits of creative thinking, but the sweetest fruits will be ready for those who wait the longest.
【1】You may read the passage in a ________.
A.notice
B.picture

D.dictionary
【2】The underlined word “eureka” in Paragraph (段落) 4 probably means “________”.
A.I’ve got it
B.I give up
C.I’ve no idea
D.I believe it
【3】The creative thinking process for Newton follows the order of ________.
a. He caught the right moment. b. He did experiments over and over.
c. He saw an apple fall from a tree. d. He studied mathematics for long.
A.a-c-d-b
B.b-a-c-d
C.a-b-c-d
D.d-c-a-b
【4】The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A.how Newton discovered “gravity”
B.sweetest fruits come from years of hard work
C.we should wait for the right moment
D.it is important to think
25、
If you live in Shanghai, you might have taken a “lesson” in sorting garbage. As China’s first city to carry out strict regulations on garbage sorting and recycling, Shanghai requires its residents to sort garbage into four categories, namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. If people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined (罚款) up to 200 yuan.
Since the regulation took effect, the amount of total daily waste in Shanghai has been reduced by an average of 15,500 tons, dropping 26 percent from the end of 2018, while the average daily weight of recyclables hits 4,500 tons, five times higher than the end of 2018, according to the Shanghai Landscaping and City Appearance Administrative Bureau. “Proper waste sorting protects the environment and saves natural resources.” said Deng Jianping, director of the bureau. “Led by the central government, Shanghai is making efforts to develop long-term solutions to garbage management.”
However, there have also been some problems. Some people complained that it is difficult to deal with wet garbage, as they are asked to remove wet garbage from its bag when dumping (倾倒). According to the sorting rules, the wet garbage must go in the wet waste bin and the bag must go in the dry waste bin. This separation is necessary, as it ensures that the wet garbage will decompose properly and become useful organic (有机的) waste, the bureau said. Plastic bags can affect this process. Some people in Shanghai are instead using paper bags that can biodegrade (生物降解) or plastic containers that can be washed and reused, according to Xinhua.
More cities are introducing similar garbage sorting regulations. By the end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will be established (建立) in 46 cities in our country, including Beijing and Shenzhen, People’s Daily reported.

B.The rules about garbage sorting are not strict enough.
C.People don’t know how to sort the garbage.
【4】What does the underlined word “decompose” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.分解 B.焚烧 C.掩埋
【5】We can infer from the passage that _______.
A.people won’t be fined if they don’t sort the garbage properly
B.some people in Shanghai are using paper bags instead of plastic bags
C.the whole country will establish garbage-sorting systems by 2020

27、Which country grows the most tea? The answer is India. It grows three times as much as China. Which country drinks the most tea? It’s neither China nor Japan. It’s Great Britain.
In the wild, tea plants may be 9 meters tall. But a plant grown for market is pruned. Pruning keeps the plant only 0.9 or 1.2 meters tall. This is an easy height for tea picking. Only the two top leaves and bud (芽) of each new shoot are picked. So to make money, tea plantations (种植园) must be huge.
In general, there are two kinds of tea: black tea and green tea. Black tea is fermented (发酵). In the process, the tea loses nearly all of its healthy parts. Green tea is steamed (蒸) right after the leaves are picked. Green tea keeps its healthy parts. For example, it may prevent heart illness.
How did we get tea bags? The answer: by accident. Tea businessmen used to send samples (样品) in tin (锡) boxes. This was very expensive. One businessman thought of a cheaper way. He sent samples in small silk bags. Customers would open the bag. They would make tea as usual. One customer put the bag into a pot. Then he just poured hot water over it. And the tea bag was born.
Shen Nong was the first to drink tea. He was a Chinese emperor. This was about 2737 B.C. Shen drank several cups of hot water daily. One day something happened. Leaves from a wild tea tree fell into the hot water pot. The next cup was poured. The water was now colored. Shen tasted it. He liked it. He drank it all. Shen was proud of his new drink. He served it to his guests. Word spread. People thought this way: tea is good enough for the Emperor, so it must be good enough for the people. Tea became the drink of China.

28、 About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are l【1】, only about one in two hundred is 【2】in this way. Perhaps it is safer to let women drive the car. There are different forms of color blindness. Maybe a man is not able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. A very unlucky man may see everything in shade of green, a strange world i【3】.
In certain occupation, color blindness can be dangerous and people are 【4】carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights to send messages. A green light may mean "A 【5】” and a red light may mean "Danger! Keep back! "You can see what will happen if someone thinks that red is green. Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a s【6】eye there are millions of very small things called " cones". These help us to see in bright light and tell the difference between colors. There are also millions of "rods", but those are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us s【7】 ,but not color.
