24、In Britain, people celebrate Boxing Day on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it’s a non-working day in the whole Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.

The exact origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing (航行) ships were setting off to discover new land, a priest (神父) placed a Christmas Box on each ship. Those sailors who wanted a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn’t open it to share the money with the poor until Christmas.

One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas. That is why that day became know as Boxing Day.

Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time, services and money to Aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.

26、You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend too much money?

The tricks(诡计、花招) usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket door, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.

Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but in some supermarkets all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.

Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers are easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.

There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these at once. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on the shelves so that kids can see and even reach them.

Except what you see and smell in a supermarket, how about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it’s better to shop when it’s quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful at the checkouts when you pay for the things you buy. These are sometimes on purpose, to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait for your turn.

So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come with just the things you want.

【1】According to the passage, toys for children are usually placed ____________.

A. on the back shelves   B. on the lower shelves

C. on the front shelves   D. on the higher shelves

【2】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Several rules that every business should follow.

B. Some advertisements that make people buy more.

C. Several ways supermarkets use to sell more products.

D. Some advice when people go shopping in supermarkets.

【3】The writer probably agrees that ____________.

A. people like soft and slow music in supermarkets

B. things are cheaper in supermarkets than in other shops

C. people should just buy things they need in supermarkets

D. people should leave the supermarket with a trolley full of things

27、In the future, people may travel to Mars by water﹣powered spaceship! Today’s spaceships are fine for getting things into space, but they are not so good at travelling long distances. These spaceships burn chemical fuels（化学燃料）and they are very expensive. Scientists say that a water-powered spaceship could make the trip to Mars much cheaper. The idea is just in the planning stages now, but scientists think such a spaceship could be developed soon.

The key to the water﹣powered spaceship is the engine（发动机）. Regular engines push spaceships by burning fuel. The water engine will use steam, created by solar panels that heat water to a high temperature. Of course, the spaceship will have to carry a lot of water for the long trip to Mars.

One US company has already developed a spaceship like this. These spaceships are made of a strong material. Two of them have already been sent up into space, using rockets and then later filled with air. “Balloon” spaceships could be very large and carry enough water for a long trip. With the “Balloon” spaceships, enough water could be carried to power the engines and grow food during the trip. And the people on the spaceship might even get to take a hot bath!

Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be its cost. The “Balloon” spaceship uses water to push it through space and costs about one thirtieth of a normal spaceship. Such savings naturally encourage continued research into balloon spaceships and water engines. If these scientists are correct, we may soon be on our way to Mars in a spaceship powered by water.

【1】Which of the following statements is true? ________

A．Chinese scientists have developed the water﹣powered spaceships.

B．Scientists are thinking about developing water﹣powered spaceships

C．It takes people a lot less money to send today’s spaceships into space.

D．Fuels﹣burned spaceships are much cheaper than water﹣powered ones.

【2】The water﹣powered spaceships have to carry lots of water ________.

A．to burn much water to make fuel

B．just to use plenty of water in space

C．to provide enough steam for the engine

D．to push spaceships to travel long distances

【3】Astronauts use the rest of the water in the “Balloon” spaceships to do the following EXCEPT ________.

A．blowing up a balloon

B．growing something to eat

C．taking a hot bath

D．starting the engine

【4】The underlined “it” in the last paragraph refers to（指代）________.

A．the planet Mars

B．water as “fuel”

C．the “Balloon” spaceship

D．a normal spaceship

【5】What’s the main purpose of this passage? ________

A．To introduce the fuel used by different space ships.

B．To describe the advantages of the water﹣powered spaceship.

C．To let people know America has invented water﹣powered spaceships.

D．To tell us that humans may travel to Mars by water﹣powered spaceship

28、根据短文内容和所给中文提示，写出空白处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。

Every Treasure Tells a Story is coming again. The 【1】 (流行的) TV program shows people about the treasures in ancient China.

Director Pan Yi first saw the Changxin Palace Lamp (灯) in Hebei Museum in 2016. The lamp was 【2】 (发现) in 1968. It was with a king’s wife over two thousand years 【3】 (以前).

“For a moment, time seems to have stopped. The lamp really looks like a young girl in the Western Han Dynasty who is smiling and 【4】 (服务) the king’s wife,” said Pan.

“I wanted to know what she had seen in the palace and what she would think about the 【5】 (现代的) world if she could come alive,” she added. This interesting idea helps Pan Yi create this amazing program.

The second 【6】 (季) of the TV show is also made up of 25 parts. 【7】 (相比较) to the first one, the second is a little closer to the present.

According to the director, the program has 【8】 (已经) been translated into eight languages, including English, French, Spanish, German and 【9】 (意大利语).

“Stories need to be better told in different ways, and the things on show need to be connected with China today. It is 【10】 (有帮助的) for people around the world to better understand our country today.” said Pan Yi.

29、   It was a late night. My mom and I were driving home when we passed by a convenience store, where my mom found a corn man. As we drove back around, we ______ in front of the store so that we could buy corn.

I knew I had a $20 bill (钞票) in my wallet, so my mom and I could each get a corn cob (玉米棒) and we could also get some sweet potatoes to take to my ______ at home. As soon as I opened up the bill, I ______ it was actually a $5 bill. However, we had to pay 6 dollars.

  I could have gone inside the store to get more money from the ATM (自动柜员机), but I honestly wasn’t comfortable going inside alone because it was too ______ and not safe enough, so my mom told me to just ______ my cousin’s sweet potatoes.

I told the man I didn’t have enough money, so I would leave the sweet potatoes and give him the $5. As I put the sweet potatoes down, my mom and I were about to start walking to the car.

I’ll get them.” I honestly thought to ______ I shouldn’t do that, but he insisted (坚持) doing so. Finally, we said “Thank you” and left.

It may have “just” been a dollar short, but still, he did not have to do that and it was like his first instinct (本能) as soon as he saw me put the sweet potatoes down. My mom and I were so ______. Thanks to that man, my cousin was moved, too.
