24、Hundreds of years ago,a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots,a brave people,loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland,but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.
One night,the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight,my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”
They were all very tired,so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty,but they,too,were very tired,and one by one,also fell asleep.
The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside,taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more,the war would be over. Suddenly,one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment,they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.

26、Mark Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever imagine.
The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical – a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.
More importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to mock religion and its old traditions.
Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical (批判的) points about culture and politics. That’s why he is so loved in the US – he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly.
He also believed strongly in women’s right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901.
“Tom was a great hero once more – the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” Twain writes in Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well be describing himself.
【1】According to the writer, after reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you are likely to think _______.
A. it’s not worth all the praise
B. it’s as wonderful as you imagined
C. it’s better to read it with teachers
D. it’s even better than you imagined
【2】 What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. A brief description of the novel.
B. Where Twain’s idea of childhood comes from.
C. How naughty and adventurous Tom Sawyer is.
D. What makes Tom Sawyer’s adventures so wonderful.
【3】What does the underlined word “mock” mean?
A. make changes to B. make fun of
C. give reasons for D. give examples of
【4】 Why is Twain so loved in the US according to the article?
A. He supported women’s right to vote.
B. He wrote bad things about US wars abroad.
C. He criticized American culture and society clearly and cleverly.
D. He showed readers a magical childhood that everyone would love.
27、 Workout clothes? Check. Water bottle? Check. Breakfast? Um …It's something that has been hotly debated by early morning gym-goers for years. And now a study has finally found out whether to exercise before or after breakfast.
Researchers analyzed the energy spending of 12 healthy, active men aged 20 to 26. Each of them completed three different tests: eating a breakfast of oats(燕麦) and milk and then resting, eating the same breakfast 2 hours before cycling for 1 hour, and doing the same 1 hour of exercise without having breakfast. The study showed that when the men didn't have breakfast, they had a greater calorie deficit(不足) throughout the day of about 150 calories on average, showing that fast exercise is the best for weight loss.
“These results suggest that for healthy young men, a short-term energy deficit may be more easily achieved if they exercise without breakfast,” the study's authors said.
Here's how it works: When you do fast exercise, your body doesn't have ready energy from food, so it draws from other sources, like stored body fat, which makes your exercise more effective at burning fat and helping you lose weight. Also, exercising in a fast state keeps your insulin(胰岛素) level low, allowing your body to produce more growth hormone(荷尔蒙激素), which also burns fat.
When insulin is increased - as is the case after you eat-your body will be in a state of wanting to store fat, not burn it. It doesn't matter whether you exercise like a mad man after a meal, because you won't be able to burn body fat until insulin levels drop.
【1】Which topic has been hotly debated by early morning gym-goers?
A.What food they should eat for breakfast.
B.Whether to eat before or after they exercise.
C.What equipment they should bring to the gym.
D.Whether to exercise in the morning or at night.
【2】What do we know about the three tests?
A.Twelve people took part in them.
B.All the people in the tests ate breakfast.
C.Twelve people were divided into three groups.
D.They were done by twelve researchers from the US.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “fast exercise" refer to?
A.One does light exercise in a fast way.
B.One works out on an empty stomach.
C.One exercises fast and long after a meal.
D.One works out in the morning regularly.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Exercising without food is bad for our health.
B.The level of insulin varies from person to person.
C.Unless insulin drops, exercise can't burn body fat.
D.High level of insulin can produce more growth hormone.
【5】Where can we see the passage?
A.In a food magazine.
B.In the Health Weekly.
C.In a travel guidebook.
D.On a school noticeboard.
