23、The scientists put all their hearts into________(medicine)research.
24、One day in 1903 French scientist Edouard Benedictus climbed high to get something on a high shelf in his laboratory. He carelessly hit an empty glass flask(烧瓶)and it fell to the stone floor.
Benedictus climbed down, expecting a mess, but he found a surprise. The glass hadn’t broken into a million pieces! It had cracked(破裂), but it had held together. Benedictus wondered why.
His helper explained he had used the flask to hold liquid plastic(液态塑料). Then he had put the flask aside and forgotten to wash it. The liquid plastic dried, so the flask looked empty. Benedictus found that the dried plastic had kept the cracked glass from falling apart.
The same week, Benedictus read a report about a car accident in the newspaper. The car was a new and exciting invention, and many people were driving fast on the roads. When accidents happened, people were often hurt by flying broken glass. Suddenly Benedictus thought of the broken flask. Could his accident be something useful?
Benedictus spent a lot of time in the lab, trying to find out the best way to make safety glass for cars. Finally, Benedictus put some liquid plastic between two pieces of glass and pressed(压)them together. When he hit it, the “glass-and-plastic sandwich” cracked, but it didn’t break into small pieces.
Benedictus succeeded. He wrote in his diary, “I produced my first piece of Triplex(the name for his invention)-full of promise(充满希望)for the future.”
Benedictus was right. His method of putting plastic between pieces of glass is still used today. And that’s how a careless accident led to an invention that made us all safer!
【1】How did Benedictus feel when he saw the cracked glass flask?
A.Angry.
B.Sorry.
C.Excited.
D.Surprised.
【2】The glass flask didn’t fall part because ________.
A.the floor was not so hard
B.the shelf was not so high
C.there was dried plastic in it
D.Benedictus’ helper caught it
【3】When did Benedictus decide to work on his invention?
A.When he read a news report.
B.When he climbed high on a shelf.
C.After his helper had a car accident.
D.After his helper gave him a suggestion.
【4】What do we know about Triplex?
A.It was invented in 1900.
B.It had plastic on its cover.
C.It got popular as soon as it was invented.
D.It had an influence on today’s safety glass.
【5】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.Magic of Plastic
B.Lessons from Accidents
C.A Great Accidental Invention
D.Daily Life of a French Scientist
25、阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容,在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “ I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many times, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean.” She said sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze (微风)can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “ That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”
“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor(水汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert, “ And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, this little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.
The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.
【1】The little stream ___________ before she got to the desert.
A. didn’t meet much difficulty B. was worried about herself
C. knew well about the desert D. was confident about herself
【2】The little stream finally crossed the desert by _______________.
A. evaporating into the breeze B. forming a river
C. disappearing into the sand D. changing her nature
【3】 What does the story mainly tell us?
A. The road to success is not always easy and smooth.
B. Whatever others say, we should always be ourselves.
C. To succeed, we should change the way we are if necessary.
D. We may experience difficulties in life just like the little stream.
26、阅读理解。
Florida teen band The Garbage-Men is performing on the stage. The band has five members. They are Jack Berry, Ollie Gray, Harrison Paparatto, Austin Siegel and Evan Tucker. The five teens are making music from waste. The Garbage-Men band’s instruments are made from recycled things. The guitars are boxes. A horn(号) is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles.
The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry who was in eighth grade at the time decided to make a playable, home-made guitar, after some trial-and-error(反复试验), he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other home-made instruments as a way to improve recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin.” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually reuse materials.”
Last year, the Garbage-Men played at local events, including festivals, farmer’s markets. Typically, the teens set up on the street and performed popular songs from the 1960s, including classic Beatles and crowd favorite “Wipe Out”. They talked about recycling and offered tips for how to improve the environment. While they were performing, Jack’s little brother Trent, 11, gave out leaflets about recycling and helped sell the band’s CDs and other musical products.
The band donated the money from sales to charity. They have raised more than $2,500 for Heifer International. The organization gives farm animals, seeds and agricultural training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “It’s a good, sustainable-development (持续发展的)charity,” Jack says, “By donating one animal, you help the whole community.”
The band, all tenth graders, tries to play a show every week. They’ve also played on a Florida radio station. The teens hope to take their shows on the road by touring in other states. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it’s really close.” Jack says. Their instruments may be rubbish, but their message isn’t.
【1】They are all members of the Garbage-Men band EXCEPT ________.
A.Ollie Gray B.Trent Berry

A.③②④① B.②①④③

27、
Ryan Hrejac is a kid who is 15 and lives in Canada. Without his help, hundreds of wells that now provide fresh water for people in Africa, Central America, and India might never have been built. He travels the world to tell people how they can help solve a big problem: the need of safe drinking water in many developing countries.
“Everybody can do something,” Ryan says.
Ryan's efforts didn't begin in a far-off place, though, but right at home in Kemptvlle, Ontario. In 1998, when he was 6 years old, Ryan learned from his teacher that children in Africa often must walk miles each day to find water. His teacher said that some of the children even died from drinking bad water.
So Ryan decided to take action. He did housework for his parents and for neighbors to make some money. He spoke to schools, churches, clubs about his idea. The word spread, and donations(捐献)began coming in. After several months of hard work, Ryan had raised $2, 000, enough to dig one well.
An organization called Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief(CPAR)chose a place for the well in the village of Agweo, in Uganda, eastern Africa.
After the first well was built, “the ripple effect took over,” Ryan said, “and one goal led to another.”
He founded Ryan's Well Foundation(基金会)four years ago to educate people about the importance of water and help more people get clean water with others' help. Now the foundation has raised more than $1.5 million and built 255 wells that could serve more than 427,000 people in 12 countries.
Its website lists some of the famous people Ryan has met and the honors he has received.
Ryan isn't bragging(吹噓). “The best people I've met are the other kids who want to help, too.” he said. “The only reason I accept honors is that each word I say when I get one might help one more person.”
【1】What problem does Ryan want to solve?
A.The poor condition of schools.
B.The influence of war on children.
C.The illness caused by pollution.
D.The need of safe drinking water.
【2】Ryan himself raised money by ________.
A.starting a website to get donations
B.creating an educational organization
C.doing housework and introducing his idea
D.travelling to a village across the world
【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.An Organization of Saving Water
B.A Goal to Help African People
C.A Boy Who Makes a Difference
D.A Well That Brought People Together
