25、   Today there are about 7.5 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. There are many people to feed. We need more and more food.

One way to produce more food is growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983,scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic( 遗传的) material. Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified food, or GM food.

By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. Scientists make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases.A kind of rice will be grown, for example, which stops people becoming blind.

Rich countries produce GM food because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.

GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM food is only one way of feeding people in 2050.There are strong feelings against them because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But both rich and poor countries are interested in their uses, and they are not going to go away. In 2050,we may think differently about them.

【1】How have scientists been able to change plants more quickly?

A.By making the best plants.

B.By asking the farmers to grow plants.

C.By changing their genetic material.

D.By changing planting environment.

【2】Why do rich countries produce GM food?

A.Because they are easy to grow and bring in more money.

B.Because they are easy to grow and very cheap.

C.Because they help produce more food.

D.Because they are the best plants.

【3】What’s the meaning of “GM” in the second paragraph?

A.传统 B.非转基因 C.自然 D.转基因

【4】What can we know according to the passage?

A.GM plants are natural.

B.GM plants are weak against plant diseases.

C.Everyone knows how good or bad GM plants are.

D.GM food may hurt people or their children later.

26、   I’m definitely a morning person. I’ve realized how much I can actually get done first things in the morning, between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. That, for me, is the sweet spot. I honestly get more done in those two hours than I often do the rest（其余的）of the day. I’ve developed a habit that helps me be productive（效率）and it includes what I call the law（定律）of first things. This same law is followed by people far more productive than I am, including Bill Gates, Howard Schultz and Jeff Bezos.

Essentially, the law of first things says that whatever you do when you first get up in the morning influences your productivity for the rest of the day. For many of the most productive people，that first thing is often not work. And it shouldn’t be for you either.

Let’s consider the morning habits of these highly productive people. Bill Gates says he starts his day on the treadmill(跑步机)，watching educational DVDs. Howard Schultz likes to get up early to exercise, often cycling, before getting started with work. Jeff Bezos, famously, prefers to not have business meetings until around 10 a.m., instead, he makes time for other things at home first.

Most of us get out of bed, pick up our phone and immediately start reading emails or our news feeds. That means that from the moment we wake up, we’re already responding(回应) to the outside world instead of creating space for ourselves to allow our bodies and our minds to practice.

That space matters, and whatever you do first sets the direction you go throughout your day. If that thing is responding to an email from someone who feels it is important, you may never get back to the important things you need to do. You should start your day with something other than work. You might end up surprised by how much you get done.

【1】Why does the writer think he’s a morning person?

A．He finishes all his work in the morning.

B．He has a lot of work to do in the morning.

C．He does things more productively in the morning.

D．He’d always like to do some exercise in the morning,

【2】In the passage, the writer supports the idea of the passage by _______.

A．telling stories

B．giving examples

C．asking questions

D．explaining differences

【3】From Paragraph 3, we can know ________.

A．what to do in the morning

B．how to start the day right

C．why to pay attention to starting the day

D．where to spend the morning time

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is the writer’s opinion?

A．We always practice our bodies and minds when we get up.

B．Watching educational DVDs is a good choice to start the day.

C．It’s important to wake up to respond to the outside world.

D．We should learn to use the first hours of the day wisely.

27、Welcome to Chimelong Safari Park(野生动物园)

【1】When can visitors visit the park?

A．At 8 am, Tuesday.

【4】How can tourists get to the park when walking out of the underground station at Exit D?

A．By bike or by bus.

B．By bus or by car

C．By car or on foot.

D．By bus or on foot.

【5】In which part of a magazine can we find the reading?

A．Travel.

B．Business.

28、   Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies,【1】(swim) and horse riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept【2】touch through letters, and we saw each other on great moments—like my wedding and【3】(Linda). Soon, we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote【4】(little) often. One day, a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown”.

Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted【5】(share) happiness of my children and then grandchildren, and my sadness when my brother, and then mother, died. There was【6】empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

One day, I【7】(read) a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman—her husband's name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought,【8】I still wrote to her.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”

Minutes later, I heard a voice that I knew very【9】(good), even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s life. Now, the empty place in my heart【10】(fill). And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

29、When I was 13, my only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That meant beating out Miller King, who was the best ______ at our school.

Football season started in September and all summer long I ______ out. I carried my football everywhere for practice.

Just before September, Miller was hit by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from hospital. He looked very ____, but he didn’t cry.

That season, I ______ all of Miller’s records while he watched the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, but I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for (为......负责) Miller’s _____.

One afternoon, I was crossing the fieldand saw Miller stuck (卡在) going over a fence — which wasn’t hard to climb with both arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept help from. But even that ______ he accepted. I helped him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally safe on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did ____. Thank you for filling in for me.”

His words freed me from my bad dreams. I thought to myself, how even without an arm he wasmore of a leader. Harmed but not__, he was still ahead of me. I was right to have admiredhim. From that day on, I grew bigger and a little more real.
