24、 Radboud University in Dutch dug a hole in the ground, which is called “purification grave (净化坟墓)”.
It is an invitation to think about what is really important in life. First dug in 2009, the grave was part of a two—year project. However, it made a comeback this year. Signing up (报名) to lie in the several—foot—deep hole for 30 minutes to three hours, every student at the university as well as those at the neighboring university may have a try. To make them pay full attention to things around and themselves, they mustn’t take phones or books with them in the grave. “We dug another grave in the garden,” said Radboud University. “You can decide for yourself how long you want to do this. Telephones and books in the grave are prohibited. It is a place for meditation (冥想). Under you the earth;above you the sky. See what goes through your mind. If you don’t want to lie in the grave, you can also sit near it.”
39 people took part in the 2009 project, but ever since the grave was dug in June, 2019, tens of people have already tried it. Every week, a few people use the grave.
“ Whether getting complete rest or learning something from the experience, you’ll find it really works,” student Feona Kane said.

25、On a windy day in June, Fourth Class took the train to Chinatown. We had begun to learn Putonghua and our teacher said this excursion would let us practice our language skills and learn more about Chinese culture.
We entered Chinatown through the arched (拱形的) entrance gate with red painted wooden pillars. Big stone lions sat on each side. Then I noticed that the street signs were written in both Chinese and English. I photographed the sign for Hay Street.
The next place we visited was the Chinese Garden of Friendship which was very peaceful. There were waterfalls, hidden stone paths and a beautiful teahouse. We had a wonderful time there.
At last it was time for our Chinese lunch. We entered a big restaurant that had red lanterns hanging from the roof and red dragons on the walls. The waiters greeted us in Putonghua and we answered them in Putonghua. We were shown how to use chopsticks and how to choose from the menus with Chinese writing. At 2:30 we left Chinatown. We were all very tired. On the train, our teacher told us her experience in China. She was just back from seeing the Great Wall of China. It’s like a long dragon winding its way. We were told it is the longest wall in the world. As we were listening, one student, who I couldn’t name, fell asleep on the train and snored loudly. His face turned red when he woke up!
In the past, I often told my Chinese classmates how to speak English. Now there are more people than ever who are studying Chinese. I can understand why—it’s a fascinating language, and there are always new words to be discovered! I cannot forget our excursion to Chinatown.

26、Ladies and gentlemen, I returned to this year in a time machine. In the year 2500, we are able to travel through time to any year in history. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the Earth.
Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about the polluted water and air on the Earth, but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour dangerous chemicals (化学品)and other waste into lakes and seas, to drive more and more cars and trucks, and to cut down trees.
By the year 2200, the water on the Earth was completely polluted. People could no longer drink the water, and they had to use other types of liquids. Scientists said that in the future there might be too many people on the Earth. But not enough was done. So, by the year 2300, there were so many people that food became scarce. There was no water to grow food and all fish in the lakes and seas died because of pollution. Terrible wars broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet in space where humans could live.
By the year 2400, the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave the Earth. But only the rich were able to leave. Where did we go? Nowhere. And everywhere. You see scientists did not find another safe planet, so now we must travel around the universe (宇宙)
in our spaceships. We are still looking for a place to call our home. So, it is up to you to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.
【1】Which problem is not talked about in Paragraph 2?
A. Water. B. Air. C. Lifestyle. D. Food.
【2】What’s the meaning of “scarce” in Passage 3?
A. 昂贵的 B. 充足的 C. 缺乏的 D. 特殊的
【3】Who could leave the Earth by the year 2400?

【4】Which of the following is true?
A. Only a few people changed their lifestyle in the 20th century.
B. There wasn’t enough water for people to drink by the year 2200.
C. All the animals died because of pollution by the year 2300.
D. We found a new home in another planet by the year 2400.

27、 Most students have experienced those school nights when they try to stay awake while doing homework. However,is homework the only reason why students stay up too late? For many, the answer may be factors(因素)such as electronics and technology,yet for others,the reply focuses on the balance between schoolwork and extracurricular(课外的)activities.
Most students grow up developing some type of hobby. Whether it is playing baseball on the weekends,or joining a chess club after school,taking part in extracurricular activities is a large part of students' daily routines.However,as schoolwork and pressure increase in high school,many studentsargue that extracurricular activities must fall by the wayside because they are not needed,or not so important.“High school is a time when you're supposed to explore what you love,”Samantha Luk,a high school student,said. When it comes to setting a timetable,however,Luk said she was often under pressure to give more importance to study. This thought of giving up personal interests for study is common among many students. They find it challenging to prove whether developing the interests is advantageous.
As a cross-country runner,journalism fan and violin lover,I disagree with those who decrease the importance of after-school activities. There are many reasons why involvement in after-school activities is beneficial. The most important point is that sports,clubs and regular meetings give students time to enjoy each other's company(陪伴)and start up friendships. These activities also allow teenagers to follow their interests and to reduce stress. So in spite of (尽管)heavy schoolwork, students should keep on following their hobbies although it is very hard.
Some students,on the other hand,choose the opposite way. They spend too much time on their hobbies that they are passionate(狂热的)about.Sometimes this passion helps students get recognition or prizes for their surprising talents, but generally speaking,it just makes one student different from the other.
Schoolwork and interests are of different values,so one should never have to choose between study and extracurricular activities,unless he or she wants to. Each student should try to balance them,and your balance may differ from others’.Achieving this kind of balance is to find out what is important for you. It completely depends on your personal preference.
【1】From what Samantha Luk said,we know that
A.she was good at setting a timetable
B.she often stayed up studying at night
C.she spent a lot of time on her hobbies
D.she put her study before her interests
【2】The writer probably agrees that
A.surprising talents can help students succeed
B.after-school activities are necessary and important
C.students should choose either study or their interests
D.students need to develop hobbies different from others’
【3】What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Managing Your Time Wisely
B.Living a Relaxing School Life
C.Developing Different Interests
D.Discovering Your Own Balance
