24、   Mr. and Mrs. Black opened a small restaurant. In order to attract customers, they put a notice in front of the restaurant that said “Meals on the House for Three Days.”

A foreign student who didn't know much English happened to pass by the restaurant on the second day. It was lunchtime and he felt very hungry. “ Well, here is a restaurant. I am going to have something to eat.” He walked towards the restaurant when he saw the notice. “ American people are really strange. They even eat dinners on their houses! But how can I get up to the top of the house?” he said to himself. He looked around and found a ladder against a tree nearby. He started climbing up. But as he reached the top, he heard someone shouting at him. “Hey, what are you doing up there?” Mr. Black shouted at him. Next to him was a policeman. “ Doesn’t your notice say ‘Meals on the House for Three Days’? Is it just a joke?” the foreign student answered.

25、   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

26、任务型阅读,先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。

I would like to talk to you about space vegetables, and to show you that space vegetables are healthy and good for you.

Space vegetables are grown from seeds(种子) that have been taken to and brought back from outer space. The seeds are affected by radiation and low gravity in outer space. When they are brought back to the Earth, these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger, healthier and more nutritious (有营养的)than normal vegetables. However, some people worry about eating space vegetables. They think that space vegetables might not be good for us and could give us cancer as a result of their exposure (暴露)to radiation in space. People should not be scared, as space vegetables are actually perfectly healthy.

Here are some facts that you should know about space vegetables:

Space vegetables are grown from seeds that are carefully selected. When seeds are brought back from space, they are tested to make sure that the vegetables they grow will be safe to eat. There are no traces of radiation after testing.

Space vegetables are better for you than normal vegetables. For example, space tomatoes stay fresh for twenty days, which is one week longer than normal tomatoes. Another popular space vegetable is the pepper(辣椒). Space peppers contain 20 per cent more Vitamin C than normal peppers.

After genetically modified(改进的) foods come onto the market, people worry that they are eating unknown things. For example, if nut genes are put inside potatoes, people allergic(对...过敏) to nuts might get very sick from eating these potatoes because they do not know they are also eating nuts. Unlike genetically modified foods, space vegetables have not been genetically changed. This means that no new genes are put into the vegetables. Therefore, they won’t damage your health.

27、The UK should start producing lab-grown meat to help solve the world’s food crisis (危机), according to a research group. A report by the Adam Smith Institute says meat made in a laboratory is better for the environment and would be cheaper than meat produced from farm animals.

Need for meat around the world is expected to increase by 70% by the year 2050. So could people be eating lab-grown meat in the future? Usually animals like cows are killed to produce the meat that people eat, but scientists have found a way to make meat in a laboratory without killing any animals.

Animals are made up of cells (细胞). Scientists worked out how to take cells from an animal, like a cow, and multiply (繁殖) them in a dish. In the end from one tiny cell, tens of billions of cells can be grown. These join together to form meat.

In 2013, the first hamburger grown this way was eaten in London. It took a year to produce and cost over £200,000 to make. Dr Mark Post, who created the world’s first hamburger from meat grown in a lab, told the BBC it “tastes exactly the same as the meat we know”. When two food critics (评论家) tried the burger in 2013, one said it was “close to meat” and another said it tasted like a real hamburger. It’s not just beef that is being created; companies are also working on other meat like turkey and chicken.

The Adam Smith Institute says moving away from the present way meat is produced would help reduce greenhouse emissions (排放) by up to 96% and free up 99% of the land used in farming worldwide. They also think it will reduce chances of food poisoning (中毒) because the meat is grown under such controlled conditions. Jamie Hollywood from the Adam Smith Institute also told the BBC lab-grown meat could be a lot cheaper. He says the price has gone down in five years from £200,000 to £8, so in the future it could be even less.

【1】The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ______.

A．what lab-grown meat is

B．how lab-grown meat is made

C．what lab-grown meat tastes like

D．when people can eat lab-grown meat

【2】The writer mentions two food critics in Paragraph 4 to show that ______.

A．lab-grown meat is cheaper

B．chicken meat can be made in the lab

C．lab-grown meat tastes similar to animal meat

D．English people first tasted lab-grown meat

【3】The writer probably agrees that ______.

A．lab-grown meat will cause a lot of problems

B．lab-grown meat tastes better than animal meat

C．making lab-grown meat will cost too much money

D．lab-grown meat can help solve the world’s food crisis

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Could lab-grown meat be the future of food?

B．What does lab-grown meat taste like?

C．When could people eat lab-grown meat?

D．What is lab-grown meat and how is it made?

There is no effective medicine for the outbreak of COVID-19. According to Zhong Nanshan, 【1】 expert of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, “Some medicines have good signs（征兆）, 【2】 the effect（效果）still needs to be seen.” Zhong Nanshan said that “Chinese medicine is 【3】 (help) for mild patients to improve their health.”

In the process of treating COVID-19, except for modern medicine and drugs, attempts have been made to treat traditional 【4】[ˌtʃaɪˈniːz] medicine in China. According 【5】 the report made by the Chinese Medicine Administration, the scientific research project organized by the Bureau has 【6】[meɪd] great progress. According to the clinical observations of the four provinces, the 【7】[ˈtəʊtl] effective rate of Qingfei Paidu Decoction for the treatment of 【8】 (patient) with pneumonia（肺炎）infected by COVID-19 can reach 90%, of which improvement was good.

According to experts, Qingfei Paidu Decoction is made by combining classic prescriptions（古典配方）for 【9】 (treat) fever caused by cold in the “Treatment of Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases” by Zhang Zhongjing of the Han Dynasty. It can be 【10】 (use) well in the treatment of badly ill patients with serious pneumonia caused by COVID-19 infection（感染）. This prescription can also be used for patients with common cold and flu.

Reading didn't really change my life until I saw it change the life of a child. Marcus was a quiet boy who lived with his mother in a shelter (收容所) for the poor. Because he was the weakest _______ in his class, he became one of my Reading Help students. Marcus knew letters but couldn't read at all. However, he worked very hard and made progress very _______.
