24、American English is full of colorful expressions． One such expression is to touch all bases．

There are four bases in baseball – first,  second,  third and home plate． When a baseball player hits the ball,  he must run to each base – in order – and touch it with his foot． It is the only way to get a point． If the player hits the ball and fails to touch all the bases,  the point will not be counted．

The importance of touching all the bases was shown at the start of the 1974 baseball seasons．

Hank Aaron was a player with the Atlanta Braves team． He was trying to find the record for hitting the most home runs (全垒打)． Aaron needed just one home run to be well matched with the record held by Babe Ruth,  the greatest hitter in baseball history． Aaron got that home run the very first time he had a chance to hit the ball． That gave him 714 home runs – the same as Babe Ruth． After that day,  baseball fans held their breath every time when it was Hank Aaron’s turn to hit． When would he hit home run number 715?

The wait was not long． In the second week of the season,  Aaron again hit the ball over the wall． He had beaten Babe Ruth’s record． But first,  he had to run around the four bases． The other players on his team watched carefully to make sure he touched each one．

So,  to touch all bases means to do what is necessary to complete an activity．

The expression is used to business and politics． No business deal or political events are really complete until you discuss all the problems involved． Or,  as it is said,  until you touch all bases．

【1】When a baseball player hits the ball,  he must ______ to get a point．

A. run to each base freely

B. touch the home plate first

C. touch all the bases with his hands

D. run to each base in order and touch it with his foot

【2】When was the importance of touching all the bases shown?

A. At the start of the 1974 baseball seasons．

B. At the end of the 1974 baseball seasons．

C. Before the baseball rules made．

D. In the second week of 1974．

【3】Who hit home run number 715?

A. Babe Ruth．

B. Hank Aaron．

C. Babe Ruth’s partner．

D. Hank Aaron’s friend．

【4】What does the expression “to touch all bases” mean?

A. To do what is needed to finish an activity．

B. To get a chance to be the greatest hitter．

C. To try your best to set a new record．

D. To solve the problems successfully．

25、

When you close your eyes and need to rest, sleep is just the very best. Sleep helps your body grow and stay healthy. However, in the animal world, it seems that some animals don’t need much sleep.

Giraffes usually sleep, although not for a long time. In places like zoos, giraffes have been known to sleep for between four and five hours, mostly at night. During sleep, the animal may lie down or stay standing. Standing sleep is more common among older giraffes. In the wild, however, the animals almost never sleep for longer than five minutes at a time. More often, they sleep fully standing and their eyes are half-open so they can see an enemy getting close.

Deer (鹿) do not sleep much during the day or the night. In fact, the night is a dangerous time for the animal to sleep because some of their enemies look for food at night. However, deer try their best to sleep for three to four hours. Even when sleeping, they have to be careful so that they do not become food for their enemies.

The Alpine Swift (雨燕) is a bird that lives in places from southern Europe all the way to the Himalayas. These birds spend a lot of their time flying to the warmer places and all the way to the south of Africa. The birds may spend up to 200 days flying during their journey. These birds sleep while they fly. The Alpine Swifts are able to sleep with one side of their brain while the other side pays much attention to flying and finding enemies.

Dolphins (海豚) usually go to sleep with only one side of their brain so that they use the other side of their brain for swimming and to watch out for enemies. Some dolphins do not go to sleep in the first month of their lives. Instead, they rest by pushing their bodies against their mothers so that they do not drown (淹死).Mothers need to make sure that they do not go to sleep. That is why mother dolphins are able to go for at least a month without sleeping.

【1】Deer stay awake most of the time to ________ .

A．smell danger

B．look for food

C．feed their young

【2】What is special about the Alpine Swift?

A．It sleeps during the day.

B．It can stay awake for 200 days.

27、Bai Yansong, a famous TV host, expressed his support for students wearing green scarves (绿领巾) at a primary school in Xi’an. He wore a green tie on a TV program on October 19, 2011. “I just want the students to know that I’m also wearing green. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves.”

The First Experimental Primary School in Xi’an made children with poor schoolwork and behavior wear green scarves. Parents whose children wore green scarves were angry. “The children still need their self-esteem (自尊心) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right,” said one mother. Now, the school has stopped the practice.

Educational expert Li Zhenxi said that primary and junior high school students have strong self-esteem. They are eager to be respected and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “It’s better to encourage them rather than separating some ‘bad’ students,” he said.

A survey made by the Ministry of Education (教育部) shows that 75 percent of students feel nervous and scared when the teacher is about to announce their grades. Some schools have done better in protecting students’ privacy and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using student names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Some teachers might call the students up to the desk and tell them their scores one at a time.

But test scores are not the only measures of a student’s ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard.

【1】Bai Yansong wore a green tie in a TV program in order to _______.

A. show people his special dressing style

B. call on people to live a green life

C. tell students green-scarf students are also good students

D. remind students wearing green scarves means being bad

【2】Why did those parents whose children wore green scarves feel angry?  ________

A. Because their children did do well at school.

B. Because they thought the school didn’t have the right.

C. Because it was against the law.

D. Because it hurts their children’s self-esteem.

【3】According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?_________________

A. Primary school students are too young to know what self-esteem is.

B. Separating some “bad” students helps create good learning environment.

C. Most “good” students like their teachers to announce their scores.

D. Using secret numbers instead of students’ names can protect their privacy better.

【4】What does the word “measure” mean in the last paragraph?

A. 长度 B. 尺度   C. 方法 D. 标准

28、请用适当的词完成下面的短文，每个空只能填写一个形式正确、意义相符的单词。

My life is always filled with sadness and little joy. However, no matter 【1】 happens, I can always face it bravely. Last year, I was allowed to enter the only key high school in my hometown. I couldn’t 【2】 the news!

Then I rushed to my home and told my parents. 【3】 my father didn’t seem as excited as I was. He just kept smoking 【4】 saying a word and my mother put her head down and couldn’t help crying.
