24、TV was one of the greatest inventions in the 20th century. Nowadays, nearly every household has at least one TV set.

Television came into being(出现)based on the inventions and discoveries of many scientists. On April 7, 1927, the first public television programme was broadcast in the USA. The signals(信号) were received on a very small screen. It was only about the size of a business card. The pictures were reddish(微红色的) and not clear.

In the 1930s, bigger screens appeared with black-and-white pictures. However, a snowy picture was the best many TV viewers(观众) could hope for. Often, they could only get one station, and only when the weather conditions were good.

When World War Ⅱ(1939—1945) began, the development of TV stopped. There were a very small number of TV sets in the hands of the public. By 1945, there were fewer than 7,000 working TV sets in the USA. A TV set cost about half the price of a car at that time.

The time after World War Ⅱ is considered one of the golden periods of television. Families saved money during the war years, and wanted to buy a lot of things after the war. TV sets were soon put onto the ‘must-have’ list. 1950—1959 was an exciting period for television. Colour television and remote controls came out during this time. By 1955, the cost of TV sets came down a lot. Instead of being equal to half the price of a car, they were now just equal to the cost of a new set of tyres(轮胎). This marked the beginning of the booming age of TV.

【1】Which is NOT true about the first public television programme?

A．It was broadcast in the UK.

B．It was broadcast in 1927.

C．The pictures were not clear.

D．It was shown on a small screen.

A．soon

B．slow

C．busy

D．fast

【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．The birth of television.

C．How to invent television.

D．The price of television.

26、A new word is becoming more and more popular on the Internet in China - but no one knows quite what it means. The word "duang" is so new that you can’t even find it in the Chinese dictionary. But it has already spread(传播) like fire on the Chinese Internet , appearing more than 8,000,000 times on Weibo, where 15,000 users had more than 312,000 discussions. On Baidu, it has been looked up almost 600,000 times. But what does it mean?

"Everyone's duang-ing and I still don't know what it means! Looks like I’d better go back to school now," said Weibo user Fahmida.

Another user asked: "Have you duang-ed today? My mind is full of duang duang duang."

"To duang or not to duang, that is the question," wrote user Beatrice.

"Duang" seems to be imitating (模仿) a sound. It all seems to have started with Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan, who in 2004 appeared in a shampoo ad (洗发水广告) where he used the sound “duang” to describe his soft and black hair. The word came to people again recently(最近) after Chan posted it on his Weibo page. Thousands of users then began to visit Chan's Weibo page with comments (评论).

The word seems to have many different meanings, and there's no perfect (完美的) Chinese meaning for it, but you could use it to give emphasis (强调) to the word that follows it. A kid might be "duang cute", for example.

【1】According to the passage, _________ users joined in the discussion on Weibo.

A. 312,000   B. 15,000   C. 600,000   D. 8,000,000

A. not surprised at all   B. a little surprised

C. quite surprised   D. no longer surprised

A. A New Word — Duan

C. Learning Chinese Culture

D. A New Name for Jackie Chan

27、Food is a major part of every culture. After all, everyone needs to eat! But each country has its own traditions on what people eat and when.

Egypt

Egyptians commonly start the day with a drink, sometimes going with bread. Breakfast can be eaten any time after this but before the day’s main meal. In the past, this main meal was served at around 3:00 p.m. But now people work longer hours and eat when they get home at around 6:00 p.m. Dinner parties are held later, around 9:00 p.m.

Most Egyptian meals include bread or ice, cooked vegetables and beans or meat.

France

France is known for its fine cooking, and its people take food seriously. Most eat three meals a day at fixed times and never snack between meals. Breakfast is a light meal of bread and coffee. They eat lunch at around 1:00 p.m. and a dinner with multiple courses after 8:00 p.m.

The French consider eating a social activity. Eating alone is hard to see, and eating while doing something else is unheard-of. The French take time to enjoy their meals and visitors should do the same.

Brazil

Like the French, Brazilians usually eat a light breakfast. Lunch, the largest meal of the day, usually consists of meat, rice, potatoes, beans and vegetables. Between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., people enjoy a smaller meal with their families.

Brazilians don’t mind eating a hurried or light meal and sometimes buy food from street carts (手推车). But they always finish eating before walking away.

The United States

American’s ancestors came from many countries, so American eating habits differ. Some take time to prepare and eat a hot breakfast. Others take a bagel (面包圈) while rushing out the door or just skip breakfast. For lunch, most Americans eat a sandwich or leftovers. Traditionally, families got together for a large evening meal around 6:00, but now busy schedules force many families to eat in turns. American restaurant servings tend to be huge. But you don’t have to finish them; taking leftovers home is common.

【1】People of Egypt usually start a day with ________.

A. a drink   B. a bagel
