24、One of the most well-known directors of our time is Stephen Spielberg. He was born in Cincinnati on 18 December 1946. His father was an electric engineer(工程师) and his mother was a performing pianist. His sister, Anne Spielberg, became a screen writer who wrote the stories for many famous films.

Stephen had always wanted to be a director ever since he was a young boy. When he was just 13 years old, he made a 40-minute film. It won a local competition.

25、   Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.

Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.

While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food ( using the sun’s energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons—the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp’s batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt LED light for two hours—enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.

The university gave ten plant lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believe the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.

【3】What is true about the Plant Lamp?   ▲  

A.It can be made by local people.

B.It is much easier to use than oil lamps.

C.It can produce all the electricity the village need.

D.The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.

【4】What is the purpose of the passage?   ▲  

A.To report on a new invention..

B.To explain a new scientific theory.

C.To describe how electricity is made.

D.To discuss the problems of poor villages.

26、   In your dreams, you may clearly see something or hear someone talking. But what about smells? Can you ever remember smells from your dreams?

A study published in 1896 looked at different sensory experiences in dreams. It found that visual（视觉的）experience mainly controls one's dreams. It takes up about 85 percent, while auditory（听觉的）experience makes up 69 percent and smell only 7 percent.

But why? Scientists from the University of Illinois, US, have a theory based on what is know about the brain.

In our brain, there is a special part called the cerebral cortex（大脑皮层）. It is linked to our feelings. As much as two-thirds of the cerebral cortex works in vision（视觉）. So vision appears often in dreams. Auditory experience is closely tied to , language, and language is processed entirely in the cerebral cortex.

Smell, on the other hand, has little to do with the cerebral cortex. It connects directly to the memory and emotional systems. That is why a smell can sometimes bring back a distant memory.

Another possibility is that perhaps smell is not easily affected by our imagination. For example, close your eyes and imagine your favorite dish. What do you get? It is easy to think about what it looks like. But it is not as easy to imagine its smell.

The vision and auditory senses arc part of a complex process inside the brain. But smell is a direct measurement of chemicals in the air. There is less imagination involved in smell. Therefore,smell might be less influenced by the brain activity that happens while dreaming. It is similar to taste and touch. That is why you don’t usually have the experience of taste and touch in your dreams.

【1】Which experience mainly controls one's dreams, according to the 1896 study?

A.Smell. B.Vision. C.Hearing. D.Taste and touch.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE about the US scientists’ brain theory?

A.Less than half of the cerebral cortex works in vision.

B.Auditory experience is not tied to language.

C.Smell has almost nothing to do with the cerebral cortex.

D.It’s difficult to imagine what things in your dreams look like.

【3】According to paragraph 6 and 7, it’s easier to imagine a dish’s______.

A.look than its smell B.smell than its look C.taste than its smell D.smell than its taste

【4】Why can we hear someone talking in our dreams?

A.Because auditory experience is closely tied to language which is processed entirely in the cerebral cortex.

B.Because auditory experience makes up 85 percent in controlling one’s dream.

C.Because auditory experience has little to do with the cerebral cortex.

D.Because auditory is not part of a complex process inside the brain.

【5】What is the best tile for the story?

A.How does the cerebral cortex work B.Why can’t you smell in your dreams.

C.What experience happens most often in dreams. D.Why can’t you remember smells from your dreams.

29、

Are newspapers dying?

For years, it has been said that newspapers are at death’s door. Every year brings more news of closing. But why is the situation so __________ for newspapers?

Newspapers have a long history. The first newspaper was printed in the 1600s. The industry witnessed its most successful periods in the early 20th century.

With the appearance of radio and TV, however, newspaper circulation (发行量) began to fall. By the mid-20th century, radio and TV had become so popular that people no longer had to ______ newspapers for news. That was especially true of breaking news.

Afternoon newspapers were the first to suffer. People coming home from work increasingly turned on the TV, instead of opening a newspaper because TV could provide news that happened a short time ago. It’s true that newspapers couldn’t compete with TV on ______, but they could provide in-depth reports that TV news could not.

But newspapers suffered another, heavier blow (打击) in the 1990s. With the appearance of the internet, large amounts of information became ______. Many newspaper readers realized that they could read news on the Internet. There seemed to be little reason to pay for a newspaper subscription (订阅).

So what does the future hold? Will newspapers die? Maybe not. Many newspapers are now making ________. Some are going digital. Some are going farther and taking the industry to places it has never been to. After all, people still want the news. And many agree that newspapers are still an important source of in-depth news, analysis and opinions. If newspapers _________ completely, there will be nothing to take their place.
