24、How long are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to lose your patience? Half a minute? A few seconds?

Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds ― as short as the blink (眨眼) of an eye ― is too long for most Internet users.

A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.

“Of course you don’t like to wait,” said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. “Every millisecond matters.”

Now, millions of smart-phones and computers are always sending out information. With so many people downloading (下载) maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations, you can get online “traffic jams (交通阻塞)”. Users are expecting faster and faster service.

Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often. This is why technology companies try their best to be the fastest.

Achieving a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet.

In the 1990s, when the World Wide Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded and slow; people called it the “World Wide Wait”. But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They improved software so it would work more smoothly; they made computer servers all around the world nearer to users; all these increased speed.

Now we can enjoy much faster Internet. Major search engines (引擎) such as Google and Microsoft’s Bing usually find search results in less than a second. But they will need to keep fighting to keep up with the developing needs of Internet users.

【1】What does the report of The New York Times indicate (暗示)?

A. A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.

B. A millisecond has nothing to do with the Internet speed.

C. A millisecond really makes a difference to the Internet users.

D. 400 milliseconds is not so long for most Internet users.

【2】How does the writer feel about the future of the Internet speed?

A. Excited. B. Interested.

C. Confident. D. Discouraged.

【3】What can be the best title of this passage?

A. Don’t make me “www.wait”.

B. Search engines work faster.

C. Traffic jams keep us waiting.

D. The World Wide Web becomes popular.

26、   Have you ever read the novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland? When British writer Lewis Carroll chopped Alice down the rabbit hole in 1865, he had no way of knowing what it would lead to (how popular it would be). The girl and her friends in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland have become well-known around the world. More than 100 versions of the book have been published. More than two dozen adaptations (改编) of the story have been made into movies. Millions of people are fascinated by the story and the characters in it.

Why have Mice and her friends kept us fascinated with them for so long? Why is the story so attractive?

One reason is that many people think the 7-year-old girl is our inner child. She is the child that we ever dreamed to be. Alice is the center of the book. She's brave, curious and always wants to move ahead to the next adventure. When she meets problems or even is attacked, she never once thinks of asking her parents for help. Instead, she tries to solve the problem in her own way. Maybe this can explain why the story is so welcomed by kids and teenagers. Because nowadays, they have been overprotected by their parents and can't live in a world of their own. Alice is the child they really want to be.

Besides, the attractive setting in the book is another reason. The story is set in an imaginative world. Many things that don't exist in the real world can be found in the story. In the book, Alice can be 3 inches (7.6 cm) tall and stand up on her tiptoes. She even finds a blue caterpillar smoking on a mushroom. Kids and teenagers are really attracted by the strange and imaginative world in the story.

The wonderland world makes us connect Alice's adventures with our own childhood. No matter how old you are, there is always a child living in your heart.

【1】The first novel of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll first appeared ________.

A.in 1865 B.when Alice is 7 C.100 years after the writer died

【2】What kind of girl is Alice?

A.She is a little girl who sits in the center of the book.

B.She always tries to settle problems by herself.

C.She attracts lots of kids and teenagers.

【3】Which of the following means the novel is really popular?

A.Lewis Carroll dropped Alice down the rabbit hole.

B.More than 100 books have been published.

C.Many directors made the story into movies.

【4】Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?

A.Alice is very short.

B.Things in the book can be found in the real world.

C.The story makes us think of our childhood.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Alice's adventures in the novel.

B.The popularity of the book and why it is so attractive.

27、“Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher（哲学家）Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）.

For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus（关注）on subjects that are tested more often.

However, learning music is useful in many ways.

When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解码）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.

Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck did well in playing the piano.

【1】Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ______.

A. they were too difficult to learn   B. students in the US weren’t interested in music

C. the schools wanted to control budgets   D. there weren’t enough music teachers in the US

【2】In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word “them” refer to（指代）?

A. Fired teachers.   B. Public schools.   C. Parents in Chicago.   D. Students in Chicago.

【3】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A. Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.

B. Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.

C. Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.

D. Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.

【4】How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage?

A. One.   B. Two.   C. Three.   D. Four.

【5】What’s the writer’s opinion according to this passage?

A. Music is as simple as it looks.   B. Music classes should be cut in some schools.

C. Music is a big part of our lives.   D. Music isn’t a very important life skill for us.

28、   We can’t remember clearly since we started to take our mobiles to dinner table. This happens a lot,【1】(especial) when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of【2】(lift) our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see whether we get “liked” 【3】not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for simply a meal.

Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If【4】, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?

A recent study suggests that what we are used to 【5】(doing)is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this , some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. 【6】a result, it showed that the【7】(many) photos they took, the less delicious the food was to them. So why not【8】(stop) taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?

So , next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not【9】(take) photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people【10】you. Trust me, it will be a wonderful time.

29、Years ago, an important event happened in my life and it has had a great influence on my life. I met Mr.Kurt, a successful salesman at a dinner party. While we were _____, Kurt asked me, “John, what is your plan for personal growth?

And I went into a _____ about how hard I worked and the gains I was making. I kept talking for over ten minutes. Kurt listened patiently, but then he _____ smiled and said , “ You don’t have a personal plan for growth, do you?”

“No, I have to say.” “ You know,” Kurt said, “Growth is not an automatic process(自动化过程).”

And that really____me. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t doing anything on purpose to make myself better. And at that moment, I made the _____ ：I will develop and follow a personal growth plan for my life.
