24、It’s that time of year again. The lead-up（前奏）to everyone’s favorite holiday — Christmas!

Usually Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On this day all the stores open early and offer the best discounts（折扣）to their customers. Interestingly, people push to buy the cheapest products, just a few hours after giving thanks for the things they have.

Usually televisions and laptops are the most popular products on Black Friday. People are willing to wait for hours for their favorite stores to open because they want very much to get the items they need.

This year I decided to go out and grab a bargain（特价商品）at one of these sales, just to see what it is like. After a delicious Thanksgiving meal, I drove to the mall around half an hour before the stores opened. Already there were people lining up and waiting outside. Some had even prepared themselves with tents and hot chocolate to stay warm in the cold weather. I entered the store, but I wasn’t looking for anything specific. I just walked around the store checking out the prices. I bought some cheap clothes, while other people were loading their shopping carts（手推车）with tons of different items.

Some people come to the Black Friday sales for the products, and others come to enjoy the experience. However, some stores can be a little dangerous during Black Friday. Every year there are always some cases of people fighting over the small number of goods. This year Wal-Mart learned its lesson and made the sales last longer. They made sure customers came for the first hour, got what they wanted and then left quickly.

【1】What products sell best on Black Friday?

A. Delicious food.     B. Televisions and laptops.

D. experience the shopping season

【3】What does the underlined word “loading” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

C. Because many people are waiting outside.

D. Because there are fewer products than needed.

【5】 What is special about Black Friday?

A. It is a wonderful time to do shopping.

B. It is a good time to enjoy the experience.

C. People are in great need of many things.

D. People have just given thanks for what they have.

25、Energy is everywhere. We use energy every day.

Electricity is a form of energy and this is what powers the TV, hairdryer, phone, fridge, electric toothbrush and more! Our growing need for energy is one of the problems facing the world today, because producing electricity also produces pollution.

Here are some simple ways to make a big difference when using electricity.

On or off? Leaving televisions and computers on with the little red light showing still uses electricity, even though they might look like they’re turned off. To stop this you can turn them off.

Lights out! Turning lights off when you’re not in the room can save a lot of energy.

Fridge door closed. The fridge is an important part of the kitchen, because it keeps food fresh, cool and healthy! But it takes a lot of energy to keep cool, so try not to leave the fridge door open or put hot things inside.

Use the sun's energy. An increasing number of people are fitting solar panels（太阳能电池板） to their houses. They create electricity from sun-light, which can then be used to power our homes. Solar heating panels make hot water, reducing the need for electricity or gas.

【1】The underlined word “powers” means “ ” in Chinese.

A. 动力   B. 权利   C. 驱动   D. 散发

【2】What can save energy according to the passage?

26、① Some days, don’t you think, “Wouldn’t it be nice if the laundry would just do itself?” Self-cleaning clothes may sound crazy. But Australian researchers have found a way to make something like this possible!

② A team at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, found a way to put special nanostructuresinto clothing, which can then clean the clothes. When sunlight hits the nanostructures, they break down the dirt and stains (污渍) that don’t belong on your clothes.

③ The nanostructures don’t break down the actual clothing because cotton and the other clothing materials are too strong to be broken down. According to CNN, the researchers cover the clothing in a solution made of silver and copper (铜) nanostructures. All it takes is 40 minutes of sunlight and your clothes will look as good as new.

④ So if you spill on yourself during lunch, you can step outside for a walk, and it will be clean by the time you go inside. It not only makes your life easier, but it can also be good for the environment.

⑤ According to the US Department of Energy, the average load of laundry uses about 25 gallons (about 94 liters) of water. Water is a very important resource, so using less of it to wash clothes is better for the environment. But one of the scientists at RMIT University knows more needs to be done.

⑥ “There’s more work to do before we can start throwing out our washing machines,” said Dr Rajesh Ramanathan, “but this is a strong foundation (基础).”

⑦ So what’s the next step? Ramanathan wants to either start selling the solution by itself or convincing clothing makers to treat the clothing with the solution while clothes are being made.

【1】According to the first three paragraphs, _____.

A. the nanostructures can break down dirt and stains on clothes

B. people can use the self-cleaning clothes on rainy days

C. the self-cleaning clothes easily wear out

【2】The underlined word “solution” in Paragraph 3 means “   ” in Chinese.

A. 方案   B. 溶液   C. 水盆

【3】Paragraphs ④ - ⑤ talk about   .

A. what advantages the self-cleaning clothes have

B. what helps the self-cleaning clothes work

C. how the self-cleaning clothes work

【4】From the passage, we learn that   .

A. it’s time to throw out our washing machines

B. clothing makers like the solution

C. the solution is not on sale yet

【5】The best title of this passage is   .

A. Difficulties in clothes cleaning

B. Cleaning clothes gets easier

C. Steps to clean your clothes

28、任务型阅读

阅读下列短文，根据短文信息完成文后表格，每空一词。

Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is， the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking， Although I’m a shy man， I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned：

Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas， and they can only remember one or two of them， not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say， then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say， your audience won’t， either.

Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is， you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin， what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的)： the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not， they will be confused.

Keep your speech not long. The standard length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time， which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应)，the audience will get bored. Of course， your speech will fail.

Following these suggestions above， you can make a good speech in public， and you will be an excellent speaker， I think.
