24、If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.

Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.

When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.

She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ourselves.

The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.

【1】From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that   .

A. being out of work is a sad thing

B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting

C. life in a film is more exciting than real life

D. chance never appears when we need it

A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.

B. She had no money to start a business.

C. She was not sure what to do.

D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school.

【3】How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience?

A. Uncertain.   B. Amazed.   C. Sorry.   D. Satisfied.

【4】What may be discussed in the following paragraph?

A. How to deal with uncertainty.

B. What role uncertainty plays in life.

C. Why people fear uncertainty.

D. Whom to go to when facing uncertainty.

26、   How many of you have unfriended(拉黑) someone on Facebook because they said something bad about politics, childcare or food? And how many of you ever hide from someone just because you don’t want to talk to them?

In order to have a polite conversation, we used to follow the advice — make our conversation go around the weather and your health. But these days, with climate change and vaccine (疫苗) problems, those subjects — are not safe, either. Every conversation may lead to a fight.

Pew Research did a study of 10,000 American adults, and they found at this moment, we are less likely(可能) to listen to each other. Depending on what we already believe, we make decisions about where to live, who to marry and even who our friends are going to be. A conversation needs a balance(平衡) between talking and listening, and somewhere along the way, we lost that balance.

Now, part of that is because of technology, such as the smartphones. They are either in your hands or close enough for you to get quickly. According to the Pew Research, about one third American teenagers send more than a hundred texts(信息) a day. And many of them, almost most of them, are more likely to text their friends than they are to talk to them face to face.

There’s a great piece in The Atlantic. It was written by a high school teacher named Paul Barnwell. He gave a communication project to teach students how to speak on a special topic. But he failed to make it and said: “I realize kids spend hours each day connecting with ideas and each other through screens, but they hardly discover their communication skills. It might sound like a funny question, but we have to ask ourselves. Are there any 21st-century skills more important than being able to make a real conversation?

【1】It used to be safe to talk about________in a polite conversation.

A.health B.childcare C.food

【2】What can we learn from the study of Pew Research?

A.People make their own decisions by listening to others.

B.We probably like talking with friends face to face better.

C.There isn’t a balance between talking and listening now.

【3】About 30% American teenagers send ________ texts a day.

A.more than 1000 B.about 500 C.Over 100

【4】The last paragraph mainly talks about ________.

A.some communication skills

B.a project by Paul Barnwell

C.a magazine called The Atlantic

【5】What is the best title of the passage?

A.Why not have a conversation now?

B.How can we speak politely?

C.What can we do with smart phones?

27、Recently, the term “carbon neutral(碳中和)” has been used frequently at some important meetings in many countries. Many countries have put forward the goal of striving( 奋斗目标 )to be carbon neutral. China is expected to be carbon neutral by 2060. So, as middle school students, what can we do to protect the environment and live a low carbon life? Here are some suggestions for you.

Travel in a green way. Now more Chinese people have cars of their own. It has brought us a lot of benefits but has created some serious problems as well. So we had better do more walking, cycling, taking a bus and less driving. By doing so, we can save energy and reduce pollution.

Cut down white pollution. We should reduce the pollution of plastic bags. When you go to the supermarket, bring your own shopping bags.

Save water. Lack(缺乏)of water resources will affect the ecological environment(生态环境). So please turn off the tap after using it.

Sort(分类)the rubbish. Doing garbage classification(垃圾分类)in a right way can turn waste into wealth.

Plant more trees. Planting more trees means cutting down and reducing the carbon footprint(足迹)and spreading of greenhouse gases.

Use both sides of the paper. The paper production process uses a lot of trees.

Now is the time that we should take up our responsibility to protect our environment from being polluted. Let’s join our hands and take actions immediately.

Long ago, people did not need money. They lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants.

As time passed by, people learned to raise animals and crops. Sometimes, families 【1】 more than they needed, so they started to trade with other families. Later, people began to use money as a means of 【2】. However, it was not the kind of money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt, large stones, etc.

During the 600s B.C., people began using coins as money. They soon found that coins were easier to 【3】 than goods and lasted a long time. Later, countries began to make their own coins.

The Chinese were the first to use the paper money, probably as early as the 11th century. The Italian travelers Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s. However, European countries did not 【4】 using paper money until 1600s.

Today, we have many ways to pay for things. We do not use coins or paper money. Often people prefer to pay for things by card. Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of“real”money.

_________, more than thirty years later, the “white bike” is back in town—this time with a computer chip(芯片) to _________ its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to put a special card inside. The new “white bike” is not white any more but is an unusual _________ with bright colours.
