24、请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
When students complete a book, they consider the job of reading done. When they are asked what they have got from the book, quite a few of them can give you some information about the plot(情节). But if we ask them more detailed questions, they have nothing to say. In fact, that is not what a good reader is supposed to do.
To be a good reader, firstly, is to know the background. We need knowledge of the life story of the writer, the culture and society in which the story takes place, Otherwise, it is hardly possible for us to better understand the book or come to realize the theme.
Then, we start to read the book. A good reader will not stop since he has already made a good preparation. He goes through the whole book to get the general idea of it instead of reading off and on.
Next comes an important step一read the book once again and write annotations(注释) when there is something impresses us deeply. It helps us get close to the mind of the writer. Many students underestimate(低估)the importance of writing annotations. They say that they also can understand the writer although they do not write annotations. It is true that it brings us some trouble of writing, but it also gives us a lot of ideas of our own at the same time.
Finally, a good reader needs to write a book report. It is a time when we can sum up all our thoughts and turn them into a report. We start to think of the characters, the plots and the theme. Some say it is boring but in fact it is fun if we do it. Producing something of our own is really wonderful because we are on our way to be better than a good reader.
All of us move our eyes back and forth from words to sentences to paragraphs. However, as a good reader, we learn much more from reading one book carefully than we do from reading ten roughly(粗略地)
【1】 What background should a good reader know before reading a book?
A. The life story of the characters.
B. The theme of the book.
C. The society where the story happens.
D. The general idea of each paragraph.
【2】 What does the underlined phrase "off and on" in paragraph 3 mean?
A.上上下下地 B.断断续续地
C.来来回回地 D.里里外外地
【3】 According to the passage, a good reader ·
A. can just tell the plots of a book
B. can finish reading ten books at a time
C. underestimates the importance of annotating
D. will read a book more than once
【4】The passage is mainly written to ·
A. ask readers to prepare well before reading
B. encourage readers to write a book report
C. tell what a good reader is supposed to do
D. remind readers to sum up their thoughts
25、 What do you do when you feel unhappy? Do you listen to music? Do you talk to a friend?
Maybe next time you feel sad, you should try going outside if it is sunny. Doctors know that how much sunlight we get can change how we feel. Scientists learned this by interviewing people who live in different parts of the world. In the far north, in Alaska or Finland, for example, the days are very short in the winter. People living in these places say that they often feel unhappy in the winter. In the south, where there are more daylight hours, fewer people say they are unhappy in the winter. The reason is the amount (数量) of sunlight these people get each day. Sunlight changes the chemicals (化学物) in our bodies, and these chemicals can change the way we feel. A couple of hours of strong sunlight or light from a special lamp can help your body make the chemicals that make us feel happy.
Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise. Just like sunlight, regular exercise helps our bodies make certain chemicals, which make us feel happier. In addition, exercise helps people sleep better and lack of sleep often makes people feel unhappy. Exercise also helps you get rid of stress. When you are angry or upset about something, exercise is a good way to get those bad feelings out of you.
【1】Why do people in the far north feel unhappy more often than people in the south?
A.Because they can’t go outside. B.Because they get less sunlight.
C.Because the weather is too cold. D.Because the summer is too short.
【2】How can sunlight change the way you feel?
A.On a sunny day, you can play outside. B.Sunlight makes you less tired.
C.Sunlight increases your body temperature. D.Sunlight helps your body make certain chemicals.
【3】What’s the main point of Paragraph 2?
A.It is better to live in the south. B.Southern people feel much happier.
C.Sunlight can control our feelings. D.Northern people often feel unhappy.
【4】________ will not make you feel happier according to the passage.
A.Eating more B.Exercising more
C.Getting more sleep D.Getting more sunlight
【5】What is the best title for this passage?
A.Why Is Sunlight Good for You? B.How Can Exercise Help You?
C.Ways to Feel Happier D.Functions of Exercising More
26、 After a while, you may have saved some pocket money. You finally have enough money to buy that game or piece of clothing you dreamed of. You take the money, go to the store and find them. But when you go to check out, you see a sign: "Hello! We've gone cashless (无现金)." It is disappointing and then you may have to leave the store.
While this may become common if more stores and restaurants stop accepting cash as payment. Instead, customers (顾客) must pay with their bank card or by Smart phone App. Many business owners say that accepting no cash has helped them simplify the way that their business runs. Cashiers don't have to worry about having enough money to make change or about putting bills and coins to the bank.
But a growing number of people say cashless stores are unfair. Some even say they should be illegal (非法的).
According to the research, many families actually don't have bank savings. Many people including kids, don't have bank cards because they don't meet the conditions for applying for the bankcards. Therefore, cashless stores seem to be unfair. Some people even say cashless stores are " discriminating (歧视) against people." Plus, people who do have bank cards might prefer paying with cash is still very popular with consumers. It's used by almost eight in ten adults in the world every month. That's more than any other payment type.
Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban (禁止) cashless stores. Some big cities have already passed laws to address the problem. A lawmaker says: "It's really about equity. It's about understanding that not everyone has fair way of getting things."
【1】Many business owners think that accepting no cash is ________.
A.helpful B.unfair C.disappointing
【2】Why do many people have no bankcards? ________
A.Because they don't know how to use cards.
B.Because they don't have enough money.
C.Because they don't meet the conditions for applying the bankcards.
【3】According to Paragraph 4, what is the most popular payment type?________
A.Paying with Smartphone. B.Paying with cash. C.Paying with cards
【4】What does the underlined word equity mean in the last paragraph?________
A.财力 B.公平 C.自尊
【5】We can learn from the text that ________.
A.all the cashless stores should be closed
B.people need to be allowed to apply for bankcards.
C.many people think different payment types should be offered.

If you ever go to the US and eat at a restaurant, there’s a very important difference you should know about. US people have a custom to give money to waiters and waitresses as a tip for their work.
But why is this? Shouldn’t waiters get paid enough by their bosses? Well, many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最低工资) and work for tips to make up for that. According to the American travel website TripAdvisor, some states pay their servers (服务员) only $2.13 (about 14 yuan) per hour.
While no one makes you tip, if you are at a sit-down restaurant, it is usually expected that you tip your waiter 15 to 20 percent of what your bill is.
It’s not just for waiters either. Hotel maids, hairdressers and taxi drivers also usually work for tips. But it is much more expected to tip waiters.
The US hasn’t always had this tipping culture. In fact, people were mostly against it until the Prohibition Era (禁酒令时代) in the 1920s. The government said no one could sell alcohol (酒). Then, restaurants had trouble making enough money. So they started to ask people to tip their waiters.
This tipping culture has lasted through the years, but most people don’t like it. Some think restaurant bosses use it as an excuse to not pay their workers well. There isn’t much action being taken to make a change yet. So for now, be sure to tip your waiter when in the US.
【1】If a server works eight hours a day, he can get from his boss.
A. $2.13 B. $17.04 C. ¥14
【2】Besides waiters and waitresses, also works for tips in the US.
A. customers B. taxi drivers C. restaurant bosses
【3】When the restaurants couldn’t sell alcohol, .
A. they were bankrupt (破产的) and closed down
B. the bosses still made much money
C. they started to ask people to tip
【4】We can learn from the passage that .
A. the waiters and waitresses aren’t well paid in the US
B. the custom of giving tips only appears in the US
C. all Americans are glad to tip their waiters
【5】About American’s tipping culture, foreign visitors think .
A. they need to fight for their own rights
B. they should “do as the Romans do”
C. they can leave it alone
