24、

Do you want to know about my staying in America? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience study here.

In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different between textbook English and everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.

When I first studied English, I was told to say, “I am fine.” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good.” or “I am tired.”

One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused（困惑的）. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn't know what to say.

Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures. To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter.”

I also surprised by how hard-working. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.

The kids here are so talented, I feel sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.

【1】According to the writer, textbook English is _________ everyday English.

A.quite different from B.the same as C.easier than

【2】The word “tan” mean _________ in Chinese.

A.能量 B.变白 C.晒黑

【3】A good US student spends his/her time ________.

A.only in doing homework

B.on sports or music and public work

C.on studies, sports or music and public work

【4】Which of the following is NOT true?

A.The writer is now in US.

B.American girls love to have white skin.

C.US students are talented.

【5】The best title for the passage is ________.

A.My Own Travel in the US

B.My Opinion about the US

C.My Studying in the US

25、   What can we do whenever Earth faces a disaster? Is the only solution running away from the planet in spaceships? The latest Chinese sci-fi (科幻) movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different and more ambitious (有雄心的) idea.

The film is based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin. In the film, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. Humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system that will push Earth away from the sun. We're taking the Earth with us to run away.

What makes The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style space films? It’s probably the special cultural background (背景). For many years, “homeland” has rooted (生根) in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old saying is luoyeguigen. It means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. There are also many ancient poems about homeland. “The season called the White Dew begins tonight / Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright”. These all show that Chinese people have the tight bond (情感纽带) with their homeland.

What is Chinese sci-fi? Guo Fan, the film’s director said, “Chinese sci-fi is a way to express our cultural and spiritual core (精神内核). Otherwise (否则), we’re just imitating (模仿) others and telling the same American stories.” And the film was released on February 5, 2019, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. It seems the best time to tell this Chinese sci-fi story. Anyway, to us Chinese, Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.

【1】Why do people consider the film so ambitious?

A.Because humans work together to build a giant engine system.

B.Because humans are trying to take the Earth to run away together.

C.Because the film story is written by the famous writer Liu Cixin.

D.Because people have managed to run away from Earth in spaceships.

【2】Why does the writer use the old saying and ancient poems in this passage?

A.To tell the difference between Chinese and American.

B.To remind us of China’s many years of history.

C.To teach some Chinese traditional cultures and spirits.

D.To express Chinese people’s love of their homeland.

【3】What does the underlined sentences mean? ____________.

A.明月几时有,把酒问青天 B.露从今夜白,月是故乡明

C.举杯邀明月,对影成三人 D.床前明月光,疑是地上霜

【4】What makes The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style sci-fi?

A.Its fantastic pictures and settings. B.Imitating foreign sci-fi films.

C.Its Chinese cultures and spirits. D.Its creative and brave idea.

【5】What’s the best title for the passage?

A.The Latest Chinese Sci-fi Film B.What is Chinese Sci-fi?

C.Chinese Sci-fi Sets a New Path D.Chinese Sci-fi VS Hollywood-style

26、   “Mosquitoes are more likely to bite people with type O blood (O型血).” Have you heard someone say this before? It’s not true!

I’m not very picky (挑剔的) about blood types. In fact, I cannot tell which blood type you are. Only doctors can do that. So how do I choose who to bite?

I can smell the carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) on people’s breath. The more you breathe out, the more easily I can find you. This means larger and fatter people are more likely to get my “kiss”. 

I can also find food by smelling. You play outside and start sweating (出汗) all over. I can smell the lactic acid (乳酸) in your sweat. So yummy! 

I also use my eyes to find food. But my eyesight (视力) is not very good. If you are trying to avoid me, do not wear colors such as black, red or dark blue.

It’s only females who have a taste for blood. They need it for their eggs. Male mosquitoes do not bite. For a proud mosquito mother, not just any blood will do.

【1】Mosquitoes cannot _____

A.smell anything B.tell blood types C.see anything D.breathe

【2】Mosquitoes are more likely to bite people _____.

A.who wear white clothes B.who are short and thin

C.who just finished exercising D.who smell sweet

【3】What do we know about mosquitoes?

A.Male mosquitoes live on carbon dioxide.

B.Mosquitoes like strong and sweet smells.

C.Mosquitoes drink all types of blood.

D.Only male mosquitoes bite  people.

【4】What can we learn from the text?

a. Why male mosquitoes bite.

b. How to kill mosquitoes.

c. Who mosquitoes like to bite.

d. What mosquitoes can smell.

A.a. b B.c. d C.a. c D.b. d

Last week in Geography class we learnt that if all the ice in the North and South Poles melted, sea level around the world would rise and many cities would be flooded and disappear. It started to worry me. What would happen if our city was b【1】 flooded? Would anyone remain alive?

Last night, I dreamt about a great flood. It was nine o’clock in the morning. My bedroom floor was a p【2】 of water. I looked out of the window. Water was e【3】. It covered roads, parks and small houses. Large objects, such as coaches and boats, passed by my window. They were floating in the water. I could not just stand there! I had to do something!

I tried to call my dad, but the l【4】 was dead. My computer was still working, so I sent him an email. I wrote, “Dad, there’s a flood! What should we do?” He sent me an email back w【5】 said, “Kevin, my boss has g【6】 me some work. It’s important to stick with it. I can’t a【7】 to sit around and worry about the flood.” Then I emailed my best friend. “What should we do about the flood?” I asked. My friend r【8】, “I have no time to think about the flood. I’m playing computer games...” I shouted, “The WATER! Look at the WATER!” But my cries fell on d【9】 ears. In offices and homes, people just sat and stared at their computer screens. It seemed that they did not want to leave. Computers were more important than the flood. Very soon, the water came into people’s rooms. It p【10】 onto their desks and covered their computers.

In surprise, people finally stated to notice the flood, but it was too late. Then I awoke. There was no water. I was ѕаfе-fоr поw.
