24、Criminals could soon be caught if they are cat owners. Using cat DNA, scientists can now look into one piece of cat hair and identify (识别) the cat, according to a new study.
In the past, scientists couldn’t do that. It’s because the hair doesn’t have hair roots, so it has little DNA. Also, cats’ DNA is very similar. One piece of cat hair can seem like the hair of thousands of different cats.
Scientists from the University of Leicester, UK, found a new way. They found a special piece of DNA from the cat’s hair. It has some parts that make the cat different from the others.
However, it’s difficult to see the parts that can identify the cat, because they are too small. So the scientists copy the DNA piece and make billions (数亿的) of copies. This way, they have a lot more pieces to look at. It’s now much easier for them to identify a cat just by its hair.
In their study, the scientists said they can also use the same way to identify other pets based on their hair, such as dogs. So it will be easier for the police to catch criminals. There is usually pet hair at crime scenes. Although the “bad guys” try not to leave their DNA behind, it’s difficult for them to clear away all the pet hairs, such as those on their clothes.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” in Para.2 refer to?
A.The cat.
B.The hair.
C.The hair root.
D.The copy.
【2】Why couldn’t scientists identify a cat from one piece of the cat hair in the past?
A.Because the cat has little hair.
B.Because all the cat hair is the same.
C.Because the hair has little DNA.
D.Because the DNA copies are too small.
【3】Which is the right order to find out the criminal?
① find out the criminal ②find a special piece of DNA
③copy the DNA piece ④identify the pet
A.②④③①
B.②③④①
C.③②④①
D.③④②①
【4】Where may the passage come from?
A.A storybook.
B.A science magazine.
C.A travel book.
D.A crime fiction.
25、A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.
In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon (象征). Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.
There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追踪器) on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.
Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them--and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!
School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now. It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus.
【1】According to Dr. Frank, school buses are safer for the students.
A. yellow B. black C. white D. red
【2】According to the passage, in which country do the school buses have trackers?
A. France B. Britain C. German D. Japan
【3】Children in Japan may easily by taking the school bus.
A. save time B. be tracked
C. play games D. love their school
【4】Chinese students will save a lot of time to to school.
A. walk B. ride a bike
C. take a school bus D. run
【5】This passage is mainly about .
A. school buses B. school life
C. popular colors D. children
26、It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. She’ll talk about my lack(缺失) of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.
“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary(薪水).
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 a.m. and usually comes home around 5 p.m. or even 6 p.m. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

27、In ancient times, children didn’t have smart phones, iPads or computers to enjoy themselves. 【1】 Let’s take a look.

【3】 Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the world. There are two ways to play: cover a child’s eyes while other kids ran around to make fun of him or more commonly, some kids hide and one child must try to find them.
