24、阅读下列短文,然后从每小题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
It was over two months before Christmas when 9-year-old Mary told her father and me that she wanted a new bike. Her old Barbi bike was too old and it often needed repairing. As Christmas came nearer, her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, for she didn’t mention it again.
Then much to our surprise, on December 24th, she said that she really wanted a bike as the Christmas present more than anything else. We didn’t know what to do. It was too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing presents for our children, parents and also friends till midnight. So there was no time to buy the “right bike” for our little girl. Thinking that we might in this way make our child unhappy on Christmas, we felt guilty and sad.
Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. “What if I make a little bike out of the clay (泥土) and write a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one after Christmas?” So he spent the next 5 hours working on a small clay bike. On Christmas morning, we were very excited and waited for Mary to open the little box with the beautiful red and white bike and the note. She opened the box and read the note loudly. She looked at me and said, “So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real one?” Smiling, I said, “yes.”
Mary had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I would never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made for me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real one.” At that moment, we thought we would have moved the god to buy her every bike on earth.
【1】What did Mary want as her Christmas present?
A. A clay model bike. B. An old Barbi bike.

25、 Sara loved cars more than anything else. This spring she thought of building a new kart(小型赛车) to enter for the race. So she asked her dad for help.
“Well,” he said. “How about this: you do some research and then come back to me with a design.”
A week later, Sara brought her notes and drawings to Dad. She named her kart “Blue Lightning”. Dad looked over her work, thinking. “Well, that’s funny,” he said. “Have a try. Just build Blue Lightning as you’ve designed.”
Over three weekends of hard work, Sara turned her design into a real kart. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sara agreed.
After she did that, Sara drove back to Dad. “Well,” she said. “Now I know why you wanted me to have a test drive.”
“Oh, do you?” he said. “Please share.”
“When I drove fast, there was a lot of pushback,” she said. “I think it’s because of the shape.” “Very good!” Dad said.
“So, why didn’t you tell me about that problem in the first place?” Sally asked.
Dad laughed. “Where’s the fun in that? If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. But if you teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime.”
Sara said, “I see. Anyway, designing is half the fun !”
Dad smiled. “Good. Sometimes, learning happens during the process. We learn how to do something right by doing it a few times and making mistakes along the way.”
That encouraged Sara and she worked even harder. When she showed Dad her new go-kart, he nodded with pride.
Finally in the race, Sara wasn’t worried about whether she would win—in her mind, she had already won, by building something better than ever before.
【1】Why did Sara thought of building a new kart?
A.Because she wanted to practice driving.
B.Because she hoped to enter for a race.
C.Because she liked playing with friends.
D.Because she thought of doing some research
【2】What did Sally’s dad ask her to do after she built the kart?
A.To enter for the race. B.To take a good rest.
C.To give it a cool name. D.To have a test drive.
【3】What does Sara’s story mainly tell us?
A.Teaching how to fish brings us a lot of fun. B.Winning a race is more important.
C.Learning happens during the process D.Having enough driving experience is necessary
26、 The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and communication means(工具).Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people have, the more pollution becomes. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.
Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind pollution, it is caused heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must pay attention to the rise in pollution at the same time.
【1】According to the passage, ________, our world is becoming much smaller.
A.because of the rise in pollution

27、 CHINA has built a biscuit factory to make food for its captive (圈养的) giant pandas, giving them a healthier diet (日常食物) than the usual steamed bread.
The special biscuits, developed by the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding and Research Centre, are shaped like bamboo so they will not seem unfamiliar to the pandas.
"The cream-colored biscuit, made of bamboo, is rich in vitamins and has 30 per cent more fiber (纤维) than normal bamboo," said Yu Jianqiu, who is in charge of the project.
Steamed bread, which is eaten by most captive giant pandas as well as fresh bamboo, loses much of its goodness when cooked, often causing bad health. What's more, it can only be stored for a short time, making pandas expensive to feed.
Thirty pandas have tried the biscuits since the factory was completed in October.
"They love our new biscuits," Yu said. "In time, all captive pandas will be given the new food."
Around 1,000 giant pandas live in the foggy mountains around the Sichuan basin (盆地) in southwest China, while about 140 live in captivity around the world.
The destruction of forests, a panda's natural home and major food source, is the biggest threat to the animal.
In 1998, China banned the cutting down of trees in panda-inhabited areas to help save an animal seen as a national treasure.
【1】Why are captive giant pandas given the special biscuits?
A.Because there is not enough fresh bamboo around.
B.Because they are healthier and easier to store.
C.Because the price of steamed bread is too high.
D.Because pandas like to change their food.
【2】How does steamed bread cause panda's bad health?
A.The bad taste makes pandas tired of eating.
B.The bread is not fresh enough to keep pandas healthy.
C.Cooking makes it lose what is important to pandas' health.
D.The steamed bread goes bad easily enough to harm pandas.
【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.There are fewer than 1000 pandas living in the world right now.
B.Most of the pandas in captivity are now living on the newly developed biscuits.
C.The pandas are now in great danger mainly because of trees being cut down in forests.
D.Pandas like to eat food which has enough vitamins and as much fiber as possible.
