24、 Since the NCP (新冠肺炎) outbreak began in December, Japan has given away a lot of medical supplies (物资) to China. On the boxes of these supplies, poems are often written. Taken from ancient Chinese and Japanese poems, these powerful and inspiring lines show heartfelt wishes for Chinese people. And they let people know that ancient stars still shine in modern times. Let’s take a look at some of them.
山川异域,风月同天。
Lands apart, sky shared.
This line comes from a Buddhist hymn (佛诗) by the Japanese Prince Nagaya (长屋亲王). This hymn reminds us of the cultural exchanges between both countries in history. At that time, the prince wrote the hymn as an invitation for Chinese Buddhist monks(僧侣) to visit Japan. Inspired by the hymn, Jianzhen, a well-known monk of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), started his travel to Japan soon after.
岂曰无衣?与子同裳。
Fear not the want of armor(盔甲), for mine is also yours to wear.
This line is from a battle song of the Qin state, Wuyi (《无衣》), in the Book of Songs (《诗经》). The song refers to (指的是) soldiers sharing their armor, encouraging each other to win the war. The Chinese phrase “同裳” has the same meaning as “同袍” and “袍泽” which also come from this song. They all mean those who have fought together in armies.
青山一道同云雨,明月何曾是两乡。
Though separated by a mountain, we’ll share the same clouds and rain/The bright moon belongs not to a single town.
This sentence is from Tang poet Wang Changling’s Seeing Off Imperial Censor Chai (《送柴侍御》). This poem was written after the poet was demoted (贬官) and sent to a faraway place. He wanted to show that even though he had to separate with his friend, their friendship would continue.

A.Prince Nagaya B.Jianzhen C.Wang Changling D.a Chinese monk

26、Have you ever experienced the feeling of falling as you start to fall asleep? Sometimes you may come to realize this feeling. If so, don’t worry. Many people have felt the same thing.
In fact, these muscle twitches (肌肉抽搐) in the arms, legs or other parts of the body are called hypnic jerks (入睡抽动) or sleep starts. And they are very common. Up to 70 percent of people experience them sometimes, Huffington Post reported. But what causes it?
There are some theories(理论). Some scientists believe that the feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing itself, especially if the person is anxious or unable to get comfortable. As you’re about to sleep, your muscles become relaxed. But your brain stays awake. It misunderstands the relaxing of your muscles as a sign that you’re falling.
Then the brain jerks the body awake as if it’s trying to protect you.
Other scientists believe that different phases of sleep might cause the hypnic jerks. When we sleep, we experience two phases: non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM). During REM, our heart rate (心率), breathing and nervous system can act irregularly (不规律地). If the body experiences flashes (一瞬间) of REM while entering sleep, these irregularities could cause twitches.
If you don’t want to experience hypnic jerks, scientists have some suggestions. When you become deeply relaxed, you can learn how to reconnect slowly by moving your fingers and toes a little bit. Then start to move your head and open your eyes, while being aware of yourself as you get out of the relaxed state.
But experts agree that hypnic jerks, though sometimes scary, are harmless. If it wakes you up, simply roll over and go back to sleep. But keep in mind: a caffeinated (含咖啡因的) drink, exciting evening activities or stress may make hypnic jerks happen more often.
【1】The third paragraph mainly tells us_____________.
A. there are all kinds of theories about hypnic jerks
B. different phases of sleep might cause hypnic jerks
C. People sometimes get anxious or uncomfortable
D. the feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing itself

27、James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
“J.C.”, he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.
“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.
“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”
【1】Owens got his other name “Jesse” when _________.
A.he went to Ohio State University
B.his teacher made fun of him
C.his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse”
D.he won gold medals in the Games
【2】Owens received no telephone calls from the president because ________.
A.he was not of the right race
B.he was the son of a poor farmer
C.he didn’t shake hands with Hitler
D.he refused to listen to the suggestion that he give up
【3】Which of the following shows the correct order of James’ life?
a. James worked part time to get the fee for school.
b. He was honored by the US.
c. He got success at the Olympic Games.
d. James set many records in Big Ten Games.
e. He went to Cleveland with his family.
f. Owens fell down and hurt his back.
A.a-e-f-d-b-c
B.e-a-d-f-b-c
C.a-e-d-f-c-b
D.e-a-f-d-c-b
【4】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.They have him famous in the US.
B.They have been changed for money to help him live on.
C.They have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life.
D.They have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs.
28、用所给单词的适当形式填空,使短文内容完整通顺。

29、The first time I remembered noticing the crossing guard was when he waved to me as I drove my son to school. He ______ me with a puzzle—all because he waved to me like someone does on seeing a close friend. There was a big, ______ smile accompanied his wave. For the next few days I tried to ______ his face to see if I knew him. I didn’t. Perhaps he had ______ me for someone else. By the time I was quite sure that he and I were strangers, we were greeting each other warmly every morning like old friends.
Then one day I found out the truth. As I drove near to school he was standing in the middle of the road ______ his stop sign. I was in line behind four cars. After the kids had reached the safety of the sidewalk, he lowered his sign and let the cars through. To the first car he waved and smiled in just the same way he had done to me over the last few days. The kids already had the window down and were happily waving their reply. The second car got the same ______ from the crossing guard, and the driver, a businessman, gave a short wave back. Each of the following car of kids on their way to school responded heartily.
Every morning I continued to watch the man with ______. So far I haven’t seen anyone ______ to wave back. I find it interesting that one person can make such a(n) ______ to so many people’s lives by doing one simple thing like waving and smiling warmly. His cheerfulness armed the start of my day. With a friendly wave and smiling face he had changed the ______ of the whole neighborhood.
