24、   ①As one saying goes, where there are Chinese people, there are kung fu legends .

②Jin Yong, also known as Louis Cha Leung-yung, was regarded as one of the greatest kung fu fiction writers in China. For many people, Cha built a magical kung fu kingdom that they could escape into every now and then. But this kingdom is falling apart now, because Cha passed away on Oct 30, 2018, at the age of 94.

③Cha wrote all of his 15 wuxia novels between 1955 and 1972. While the values and tastes of readers have changed greatly in recent years, his books continue to attract people. His works have been changed into movies and TV series so many times in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Chinese mainland that his fans are interested in comparing the two versions.

④There is always a knight (大侠) with a spirit that is sincere in love, friendship and patriotism (爱国精神) at the center of his stories. Such characters move both men and women. For example, in The Return of the Condor Heroes (《神雕侠侣》), the young knight Yang Guo waits for his lover Xiaolongnü faithfully for 16 years, believing that she is still alive, even though she has jumped from a mountain into a ravine (峡谷). And in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils (《天龙八部》), powerful Xiao Feng treats his friends with sincere feelings, ready to die for the peace of his homeland.

⑤Cha’s books bring readers joy, and Cha himself has equal fun creating them. “Writing gives me space for imagination, just like a director,” Cha once said.

⑥However, Cha’s real aim in writing novels is to show traditional Chinese values. In Kung fu novels, the good fight the wicked (邪恶的)at last. Traditional values are shown through the characters and their stories.

D.Cha is a writer as well as a director

【3】The underlined word “versions” probably means “_______”in Chinese according to the passage.

A.系列 B.版权 C.版本 D.方言

【4】If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

(①=Para.(自然段)1 ，②=Para.2, ③=Para.3, ④=Para.4, ⑤=Para.5 ,⑥=Para.6)

26、Although I had left school against the advice of my teacher, I had, without telling anyone, tried to continue my studies in literature at evening classes. It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the class, so the friendship I knew at school was absent, I put up with it for a short period. It was too long a walk on cold winter’s nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued reading books and started writing poetry at home.

By chance, I won some prizes and rewards for literature. A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day. She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said, “No, I couldn’t do that.” Not that I had any real excuse, I was just frightened. In the end she advised me that I should do it the following day.

So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever. I wondered what I should do after this, and decided some weeks later that I could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines. So one evening, I hesitatingly（支吾其词地） told my parents that I wanted to return to school. They wanted to know if I was sure, if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be very difficult to get a good job. But nothing could stop me, and they asked about the matter on future.

【1】Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraphs above this text?

A. The writer’s unhappy childhood.

B. The poor teaching quality of the writer’s school.

C. The writer’s leaving school against his teacher’s advice.

D. Whether it was worth leaving school for job training.

【2】 The writer did NOT feel comfortable at the evening school because __________.

A. he found it difficult to make friends with his classmates

B. he had to walk a long distance to the evening school

C. he could not put his heart into reading books after he was caught in the rain

D. all of the above

【3】After his success, he __________.

A. decided to get a good job

B. decided to continue his studies in literature at the evening school

C. decided to return to the school he once left

D. began to feel very important and proud

27、

How the Grand Canyon was created remains one of the geology’s greatest mysteries. Some geologists believed that the process was a gradual one: the Colorado River which goes through the canyon slowly cut deeper and deeper into the ground over millions of years. But some rocks of the volcanoes, which have been discovered in the canyon recently, suggest that the canyon was down-cut instead.

Down-cutting is when a flood of water rushes over a place with enough force to cut deeply into the ground and leaves behind a canyon. Such a flood is usually released when a natural or man-made dam breaks.

Robert Webb, a research geologist, says natural dams seem to have formed and broken across the Colorado River several times during the last million years. The dams were built when lava from the nearby volcanoes flowed into the river. The lava hardened into hard rocks and blocked the river, causing it to back up and form a lake. Each time the lake grew so huge that it broke the rock dam, releasing a flash flood that furthered the down-cutting process and deepened the canyon.

Down-cutting is not only an earthly event. Satellite photos sent back from Mars suggest that the process has happened there, too, say many other scientists. The photos, taken by the Mars Global Surveyor, indicate that an enormous lake existed on Mars 3.5 billion years ago. The lake spilled into a large nearby hole. One edge of the hole broke, releasing a flash flood that quickly carved out a huge canyon. The finding of down-cutting on Mars is just one more piece of evidence that the formation of the Grand Canyon was not a gradual course.

【1】In the past, the Grand Canyon was believed to be made by ________.

A．a river running slowly over years

B．a volcano breaking suddenly

C．the rock rising from the earth

D．the ground moving gradually

【2】Which picture shows the down-cutting of the canyon?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【3】The photos of Mars are mentioned in the last paragraph to ________.

A．introduce a topic

B．give an example

C．show new ideas

D．compare with others.

【4】The best title for this passage is ________.

A．The Grand Canyon—A Wonder With Huge Lakes

B．The Grand Canyon—A Wonder With Breaking Dams

C．The Grand Canyon—Results of River Going

D．The Grand Canyon—Results of Flood Cutting
