24、 Once upon a time there was no tea at all in England. People there used to drink a light beer. No coffee or milk but large glasses of beer stood on the breakfast table.
When tea was first brought to England, an old couple got some as a special treat. But they do not know how it should be used. They cooked the leaves in hot water, and spread them on a piece of bacon (熏肉) which they were going to have for dinner. They ate the leaves, and threw the tea away! However, tea is becoming as popular as coffee and milk in England today.
Tea is the leaf of a plant which grows widely in China, Japan and some other countries. Tea farmers usually grow many tea plants on a large piece of land. When the leaves are ready to be picked, it is the busiest time for tea farmers in a year. They pull off the leaves and dry them. In their spare time, they pick out the best leaves and get them ready for market. In China, whenever a visitor comes into house, he is served with a cup of tea.
【1】Beer was served for breakfast in England long ago.
【2】Tea was first brought to England by an old couple.
【3】The old couple threw the tea leaves away and enjoyed tea.
【4】Tea farmers are the busiest in a year when they pick and dry tea leaves.
【5】Tea, coffee and milk are all popular in England today.
25、 How can you change negative ( 极其负面的) thoughts? Many people suggest thinking of something bright and happy. However, scientists from Queen’s University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person.
“It is not surprising that our feeling affects how we walk, but we want to see whether the way we move also affects how we feel,” explained Nikolaus Troje, the lead scientist, to The Independent.
Scientists believe that the way we remember emotional ( 情绪的) messages is affected by our mood. Those who feel sad remember negative information far more easily than positive messages, especially when the information is about them.
In order to prove(证明)this, Troje and his team watched 47 people walking on the treadmill (跑步机) by cameras. Half of the people were encouraged to follow a depressive walking style, while the other half moved like a happy person. Walking speed was kept the same for both groups.
Meanwhile, the scientists read out a list of positive and negative words, asking people to decide whether or not each word described them well. Afterwards, people were asked to recall as many words as they could remember.
As expected, those who followed a depressed walk recalled more negative words than those that walk in a happy manner.
This shows that our walk influences the way we deal with information. And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.
【1】Scientists from Queen’s University think that we can change negative thoughts by .
A.remembering emotional messages B.thinking about a happy person
C.walking like a happy person D.hanging out with friends
【2】What does the underlined word “depressive” mean in Paragraph 4?
A.快乐的 B.快速的 C.慢的 D.抑郁的
【3】What do we know about Troje’s test?
A.Scientists took photos of the walking styles of 47 people.
B.47 people recalled all the words after walking.
C.47 people were asked to walk at different speeds.
D.Those who walked like a happy man recalled more positive words than those that followed a depressed walk.
【4】According to the story, the scientists’ findings can help .
A.treat depressed patients B.improve one’s acting skills
C.deal with memory loss D.encourage people to exercise

27、For a long time, humans have used technology (科技) to study the world around us, and Mars is the latest place we’re using machines to explore. Besides the earth, the “red planet” is seen, as the one place in our solar system most likely to have life.
Early before, the first American robot, Spirit, landed on Mars without any problem. Opportunity, the second robot, landed on the planet more than a week ago. Scientists are very excited about these machines’ safe landing on Mars. It means that now we have an excellent chance to look for water and other signs of life. So far, the robots have found some stones that could show Mars was once a wet and warm planet.
But the trips made by Spirit and Opportunity were dangerous. Mars is often called the “death planet”, because in the past its environment has been unfriendly to the robot explorers. Before Spirit and Opportunity, nearly forty spaceships had been sent to Mars since the 1960s. Two-thirds of them failed. The first spaceship, Korabl, sent in 1962 by Russia was among them. It broke apart (分裂) near the earth.
【1】For a long time humans think ________.
A. they can surely find life on Mars
B. there may be life on Mars
C. it’s too late for them to explore Mars now
D. Mars is the only planet that has life on it
【2】 The two robots ________.
A. have found out that it is warm and wet on Mars
B. were sent to Mars to find some stones
C. were the first two American robots that landed on Mars
D. are the only machines that have landed on Mars so far
【3】The third paragraph mainly tell us ________.
A. it’s a very hard and dangerous trip for spaceships to Mars
B. two-thirds of the spaceships sent to Mars have failed
C. Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars successfully
D. Mars is called the “death planet”
28、 I feel lucky that I live in the modern age. People are 【1】(富有的) and live longer than in the past. We know how to deal with the 【2】(普通的) diseases, so we have less 【3】(害怕) of getting ill. And we have more 【4】(空闲的) time to have good fun. The role of women has also 【5】(改变). They can get a good education and have good jobs like men.
But more 【6】(财富) sometimes means less health. Because transport and travel are 【7】(更容易的), people 【8】(很少) walk and they don’t exercise as much as they 【9】 to(过去常常). When there is a lot of traffic, the pollution is also 【10】(使加倍), or even worse. Luckily, our people and our government are taking steps to make the situation better.
29、Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当单词或词语完成短文)
Coconut Island is a beautiful island with of course, coconut palms(椰子树), golden beaches and clear blue sea. I'm sorry, I made a there. Coconut Island was a beautiful island. There are still coconut palms, golden beaches and clear blue sea but not like before. So, what happened?
Well, I have a friend who was here five years ago. Her photo album is full of wonderful pictures of empty beaches. Also she has pictures of small. wooden bungalows(小屋) on the beach. No need to book she said, just and you have the place to yourself - very basic. cheap, quiet and peaceful.
Not anymore! The beach is empty - it's crowded all day! There is music from the cafes. children are shouting and screaming, and the hotels are very expensive. Most of the hotels are full of holidaymakers who booked their trip months ago. I'm lucky to have a small room at the back of one hotel, and it's still expensive.
But perhaps this is ? Not only are the roads better but there is also a new medical clinic. The local kids now speak English 'Mister. mister. you want t-shirt?' and there are many new businesses opening all the time. I see an old woman trying to cross the road from her house to the shops. It's no longer a small, quiet road but a large and very busy one. She looks nervous and waits for someone to walk with her. The children no longer ride bicycles but race around the island on motorbikes. It's not so either - my friend stayed in a bungalow on the beach that had no lock. Now the hotel room says it's a good idea to put things in the safe box.
