24、Say you’re sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions a game that happens to be one of your favorites. “Oh, that game’s easy. So not worth the time,” one of your friends says.The others agree. Although you enjoy the game quite a lot, not wanting to argue with them, you go along with the crowd.
You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer pressure(同伴压力), also called peer influence. You will adopt a certain type of behavior, dress, or attitude in order to be accepted as part of a group of your “peers”. As a teen, you are likely to have experienced the effect of peer pressure in a number of different areas.
We are all influenced by our peers at any age. For teens, as school and other activities take you away from home, you may spend more time with your friends than with your family. As you become more independent, your peers naturally play a greater role in your life.
According to Dr. Casey from Cornell University, teens are very quick and accurate in making decisions on their own and in situations where they have time to think. However, when they make decisions in the heat of the moment or in social situations, their decisions are often influenced by factors like peers. In a recent study, teen volunteers played a video driving game, either alone or with friends watching. The researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were watching, compared with when they played alone. This shows that teens may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around, or in situations where they are extremely angry. Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices, they can also influence us to make good ones. A teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it, or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important. In fact, friends often encourage each other to study, or try out for sports.
While we are always influenced by those around us, the decision to act or not is up to us. So when it comes to decision making, the choice is up to you.
【1】According to the passage, Dr. Casey probably agrees that teens ____________.
A.like to play driving games with their friends
B.prefer situations where they have time to think
C.may take more risks when their friends are around
D.are slow in making decisions when they are on their own

A.when teens avoid possible risks
B.when teens trust their judgment
C.when teens lose control over their anger
D.when teens give consideration to situations
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Teens are eager to be different from their peers.
B.Peer pressure has effects on both teens and adults.
C.Peer pressure does more harm than good to teens.
D.Tees think it challenging to get good grades at school.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Peer Pressure: Is It Necessary to Deal with It?
B.Peer Pressure: Is It Possible to Get Away from It?
C.Peer Pressure: Its Benefits to Teens and Friend Making

25、In one way, it is the “greatest” drone ever. In another, though, it is the opposite of what a drone should be. Drone should be very lazy. They don’t have to work. Only their sister should be busy pollinating (传授花粉) and producing honey. However, for this drone, pollination is the very reason fur its existence (存在).
The drone, in fact is an invention of Ejiro Miyako. Miyako is a scientist from Japan. Many people, including Miyako have been worried about the future of food industry. Pollinating insects, especially bees, are falling in number. As a result, some plants can’t get pollinated and there will be fewer plants for us to eat. Scientists have been working hard to increase the number of bees. Unfortunately, they have had little success. Perhaps, Miyako thinks, it is time to build some robot bees instead.
Miyako’s bee, in fact, does not look much like a bee. It is based on a quad-copter. Miyako has put some brush hair on it. The hair is covered in special glue. They are able to pick up and hold grains of pollen(花粉) until they brush up against something else.
At the moment, Miyako’s robot bee still needs help from human operators. That’s because it can’t see where its target (目标) are. In the next step, Miyako will install visual recognition (视觉识别) software on his bee. After that, the robot bee will be able to see by itself.
【1】In the first paragraph, the underlined “drone” refers to a kind of ________.
A. flower B. bee C. honey D. software
【2】Ejiro Miyako is worried that ________ in the future.
A. we may be short of food
B. natural bees may not produce honey
C. his robot bee can’t see
D. natural drones can’t pollinate plants
【3】Ejiro Miyako’s invention is used to ________.
A. produce honey B. watch natural bees work
C. pollinate plants D. increase the number of natural bees
【4】Which of the following is a must for Ejiro Miyako’s invention?
A. Pollen. B. Drones and their sisters.
C. Brush hair. D. Visual recognition software.
【5】According to the article, what will Ejiro Miyako do in the next step?
A. Produce more robot bees.
B. Fill his garden with robot bees.
C. Allow robots to pick up pollen.
D. Make his robot bees work independently.
26、Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places,the Forbidden City in Beijing,China.It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties in China,the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

27、 The Great Wall of China has a history of more than two thousand years. It runs from the east to the west in North China. It is about 8,800 kilometers long. Chinese people often call it “Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wall”.
The Great Wall is wide enough for ten men to walk side by side. Horses can also run along it, too. The Great Wall is made of stones and bricks (砖). There are huge stones on both sides and on the highest part. But now some sections of it are worn out (磨损).
Along the Great Wall there are tall watch-towers (烽火台). Long ago, the soldiers (士兵) kept watching the enemies (敌人) in them day and night. They made fire on the towers to tell each other when the enemies came.
Nowadays (当今) we don’t use the Great Wall to keep away the enemies any more. It is a famous place of interest to all the people in the world. Every year, thousands of people come to visit it from all over the world.

Why so many fires?
