23、从右栏选项中选出能够回答1-5小题的应答语。

24、阅读理解

Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破坏) of our environment. Brown

clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals.., these problems seem so huge.

So my family does what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk where we don't have to drive...

But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?

I recently learned something about flamingos (火烈鸟) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. Every year, when the time comes for migration (迁徙), a few of them first takeoff from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns.

However, the next day they try again. This time few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in but, since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.

Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small

number more join in just as before, then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins.

What a spectacular sight it must be—thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!

A few can make a difference. Even if you're the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.

【1】Why does the writer use cloth bags in stores?

A. Because he wants to do some good to the environment.

B. Because he thinks plastic bags are more expensive.

C. Because there are only cloth bags in stores.

D. Because all the people use cloth bags in stores.

【2】Why does the small group of flamingos return to the lake?

A. Because they are very tired.

B. Because there are some dangerous animals.

C. Because they can’t find food out there.

D. Because the others don’t fly along with them.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The writer and his family never walk.

B. Flamingos like to get together in groups of a thousand or more.

C. Brown clouds and polluted water are the only problems we face today.

D. Flamingos never travel to other places every year.

【4】What can we know from Paragraph 3?

A. The writer thinks everyone should do that.

B. There are many ways to solve the problems today.

C. The writer likes flamingos very much.

D. The writer is not sure he is doing the right thing.

【5】What's the writer's purpose of writing this article?

A. To show that the writer loves to see the migration of flamingos.

B. To tell readers to continue trying and it can make a difference.

C. To introduce a special kind of flamingo to readers.

D. To show that there're many problems in the world.

25、Technology Progress

On June 22, 1927, Charles Lindbergh flew into Dayton, Ohio, for dinner at Orville Wright’s house. It had been just a month since the young pilot's first ever individual nonstop crossing of the Atlantic, and he felt he ought to pay respects to the pioneer of flight.

Forty-two years later, on July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong was allowed to bring a personal guest to the Kennedy Space Center to view the launch of NASA's towering Saturn V rocket. Armstrong invited his hero, Charles Lindbergh. That's how fast technology advanced in the 20th century.

However, progress isn't what it used to be now. Northwestern University economist Robert Gordon argues that by 1970, all the key technologies of modern life were in place: electricity, highways, telecommunications, and the like. After that, innovation （创新）and economic growth simply couldn't keep going as fast as the last 100 years-a period Gordon calls "the special century". Gordon argues the lives of people in developed nations look and feel the same in 2020 as they did in 1979 or 1989.

Slowing down is good in one small way, though bad in most of the ways that count. Rapid changes can sometimes be disorienting （令人迷惑的）. And when things develop at a lower speed, people and institutions do have more time to breathe and fit in. But slowing down isn't what it should be. In many areas of technology, the forward movement today feels tragically slow, even nonexistent.

Consider consumer robotics. There's huge potential for robots to help us. But home robotics companies seem to keep folding. For example, social robot maker Jibo closed in March after raising almost $73 million.

Our century’s one signature technology achievement is smartphones. At this point, we've had them in our pockets long enough to begin to appreciate their dangers. Meanwhile, the list of possibly world-changing technologies that get people's attention but still remain in the original stage is very long. Self-driving cars, AR glasses. Need I continue?

Indeed, these are all hard problems. But historically, solving the big problems has required continuous, large-scale investment（投资）, often with private markets and taxpayers sharing the cost. In this century, we need to undo some bad results of the last great boom （繁荣）by developing affordable zero-and negative-emissions technologies right now. That's another hard problem-and to solve it, we'll need to rethink what made the "special century" so special.

【1】The writer mentions Charles Lindbergh in Paragraphs 1 and 2 to show that __________.

A.Charles has contributed greatly to technology

B.Charles paid respects to the pioneer of flight

C.technology developed rapidly in the 20th century

D.technology has advanced to a higher new level

【2】The underlined word "folding” in Paragraph 5 probably means _____________.

A.shutting B.separating C.growing D.operating

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Some world-changing technologies are not making progress.

B.Home robotics companies failed because of little investment.

C.It's time to realize the disadvantages of fast development now.

D.It doesn't take us long before we realize the dangers of smartphones.

【4】The writer probably agrees _______________.

A.markets and taxpayers have a duty to develop technologies

B.innovation and investment are needed for technology advance

C.what made the last century special will happen in the new century

D.rapid changes in technology are bad in most of the ways that count

27、   My grandfather Jack is 96 years old，and he has had an interesting life. He has traveled a lot in his life in the Far East. He visited the Taj Mahal in India and the Pyramids in Egypt.

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

The Chinese Zodiac consists of twelve signs and is decided by the Chinese lunar calendar. It is based on the cycles of the moon, u【1】 the western calendar which is based on the sun cycle.

In Chinese astrology（占星学）, there are 12 Chinese Zodiac signs. Because the moon’s cycle repeats itself e【2】 12 years, there are 12 animals in the Chinese horoscope-one for each year of the lunar cycle.

The origins（起源）of the Chinese Zodiac go back a few thousand years. According to the myths, long time ago, Buddha decided to call all the animals on earth. But only t【3】came. Buddha wanted to thank them.

In r【4】, he gave each of these animals a year on the cycle saying that children b【5】 in that year would have the personalities of the animal assigned to that year.

In order to decide their o【6】 in the Chinese Zodiac cycle, the animals held a very exciting race. The f【7】 one to cross the river would be given the first year, the second to come in would be the second animal in the cycle, and so on.

The strong, hardworking Ox was in the l【8】 . Suddenly, the clever Rat jumped on the Ox’s back, and he did not e【9】 feel the little thing getting a free ride. At the last second b【10】 reaching shore, the Rat Jumped on land,winning the race! The Ox came in second, the Tiger third, and so it went. The happy-go-lucky Pig took his time and came in last..and the Chinese Zodiac twelve signs were born.

29、   My stutter（口吃） had always been much of a problem. I'd had so many specialists(专家) for my speech over the years. It hurt me until I met a new one in the hall.

"Hello! I'm Mrs. Claussen. I hear you're from Texas!"

"Ye-Ye-Ye-Yes m-m-m-m-m-m-aam I am..."My heart felt like it was pounding ( 剧 烈 跳 动)through my chest and my hands were dripping wet.

"Well,” she said with a _________smile. "I've always like Texas."

She turned out to be the best speech specialist I've ever had, not like ________who told me to clap my hands while speaking. She was different from others. She spent the first several weeks just talking to me — asking me all kinds of questions about myself, ______my feelings. And she listened . She then began to teach me about the speech. Not just about my speech, but about everybody's.

I __________in my old school and was a pretty good tenor（男高音）, but I learned that the new school's singing group was all _______. It was such bad news, for I thought that was the one thing I could really do well- and I could do it .However, Mrs. Claussen finally got me in the group. I felt like she really cared about me as a person, not just a ________________student.

During the next two years, my speech didn't get much better - except with her. When I was in college( 大学), things got worse. I once even wanted to know ____I would ever be able to communicate！ It was a very sad time, and I often felt alone. When I was feeling really sorry for myself, I remembered Mrs. Claussen had told me whether I could change my speech was all up to me. She had told me to fight for perfect speech, just _______speech. She was right about that. I finally improved my speech greatly.

Many years have passed, but I think of her from time to time, wondering (想知道)if she had as much _______on her other students as she had on me. I like to think that she did. Her name was Mrs. Claussen... and she __________me . I'll never forget her.
