1. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper about 2 ,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper from now on.2. If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees.
So how can we save paper? 3. Some people suggest we should use both sides of every piece of paper. We can also choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs(手帕) and not paper ones.4. 当我们逛街时,我们可以使用更少的纸袋子。If the shop assistant gives use paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. 5. 让我们现在采取行动节约用纸。

24、Recycling is a way to take trash and turn it into new products. There are a number of different recycling processes that allow materials to be used more than once.
All kinds of materials can be recycled. Some of the most common processes in use today involve(牵涉) recycling plastic, glass, metals, paper, electronics and so on. Items made of these materials include soda cans, plastic boxes, newspapers, old computers, and cardboard boxes.
There are many steps in recycling. It isn’t actually a simple process and is different for each type of material. For example, paper starts its recycling process by being mixed with water and other chemicals to break it down. This process finally turns the paper into a pulp(纸浆). Then remove the plastics and other useless materials from the pulp. After that, it gets cleaned. Now the pulp is ready to be made into new paper.
However, computers and batteries(电池) are usually recycled in order to remove harmful chemicals as well as to find again some valuable materials such as gold.
In general, we should follow different steps in the recycling process. These steps are:
·Collecting recyclable materials, like cans and plastic bottles.

25、 I'm often asked the question “How did you become a reporter?” You see, everybody expected me to follow in my father's footsteps and become a doctor. Well, during my last year of school I visited a career counsellor (职业顾问) named Lisa and I drove her crazy with my choices.
My first choice was a chocolate taster. Although Lisa didn't know the job well, she got me some information about it. I discovered that chocolate tasters make a lot of money, so I was sure I had found my dream job. However, when I found out that chocolate tasters don't just sit around eating chocolate all day, I lost my interest.
Next, I thought of becoming a football referee (裁判). I had loved football from a young age, but being a professional footballer was out of the question, as I couldn't play very well. However, it seems that referees must be able to run two and a half miles in less than twelve minutes and they are required to take exams throughout their training. So, my dream of becoming a referee died.
Finally, I had this idea of becoming a dog stylist (造型师). That was after I realized how much money our dog stylist, Shirley, was being paid. However, once, while she was styling Philipo, I noticed that he tried to bite (咬) her. “It happens all the time,” she told me. As you can imagine, that really put me off.
To cut a long story short, all this research made me realize I had a talent for investigation (调查), so by the end of the school year I had decided to become a reporter.
【1】What can we know about the writer's first dream job?
A.It is a job that pays well. B.It is what his father is doing.
C.It is what Lisa expected him to do. D.It is a job that requires one to sit all day.
【2】Why was the writer interested in becoming a football referee instead of a player?
A.He wanted to run less. B.He wasn't young enough.
C.He wanted to take fewer exams. D.He couldn't play football very well.
【3】Philipo is probably _______.
A.Shirley's dog B.the writer's dog C.Shirley's stylist D.the writer's stylist
【4】Which of the following contains the words that are closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 4?
A.When she calls, put her off as long as you can. B.It'd be much better to put it off till tomorrow.
C.I asked the driver to put me off at the station. D.The accident put him off driving for life.
【5】What is the passage mainly about?
A.How to choose the right job. B.Different jobs the writer has tried.
C.How the writer became a reporter. D.The importance of career counsellors.
26、
In a country where 1. 3 billion people speak 22 officially-recognized languages and hundreds of dialects (方言), communication online can be a problem.
Although there is a rapid rise in the number of Indian internet users who don’t speak English as the first language, 60% won’t shop online because of language problems.
Niki, a voice-enabled e-business app, is trying to solve this. It helps people to use voice commands (指令) to do shopping online. Users speak to the app in their preferred language, ordering products. Niki then presents buying choices from its product providers.
The company’s goal market is people who don’t live in cities and do not speak English In the northern Indian state of Rajasthan, the app has been used for more than 10 million online transactions (交易) since 2018. Now Niki can offer people service in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil and English. The company is planning to introduce seven more languages, and hopes to carry out its business in 10 more states.
Thanks to a machine learning algorithm (算法), Niki is able to understand languages better and better. When the app first appeared, the algorithm only had a 65% accuracy (准确) rate. Now, it can deal with voice commands with 95% accuracy because of a bank of over 250 million conversations, Jaiswal says.
The app differs from typical online marketplaces. It limits the number of buying choices. Rather than offering many similar products as the supermarkets do, Niki presents a few quality - controlled objects from providers. That is more like a la sore.
When users speak to Niki in their native language, the app speaks back in the way of neighborhood shopkeeper. This “culture of service” is popular with many Indian people.
【1】Many Indian internet users don’t shop online because ________.
A.they aren’t able to use the Internet
B.they have trouble using apps
C.they like to shop in the local store
D.they have difficulty in communicating
【2】Which picture properly shows the relationship between accuracy and conversations?
A.
B.
C.
D.
【3】Which of the following is TRUE if people shop on Niki?
A.There are more products for them to choose.
B.It’s just like shopping in a supermarket.
C.They may like the way Niki talks with them.
D.It’s difficult for them to buy good products.
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.New apps develop quickly in India.
B.The voice app helps Indians shop online.
C.It’s hard to change Indians' shopping fashion.
D.Indians become interested in online shopping.
【5】In which section of a newspaper can you probably read the text?
A.Sports and health.
B.History and culture.
C.Population and environment.
D.Science and technology.
