24、
As kids, we learn how to write, maybe play a musical instrument and draw. So why don’t we learn to code(编码) computer programs too? What coding has in common with writing, playing music and creating art is that it lets you bring your ideas to life. Coding is all about creativity and that’s why I love it.
Creating with code
CoderDojo helps young people around the world to learn computer programming for free. When I went to my first CoderDojo class in Dublin City University in Ireland, at age nine, I didn’t know anything about coding or even such a thing. It was a great feeling that I think every young person should experience!
By going to CoderDojo every week, I learned how to make websites, apps and games. One of my apps is called Auto-Journalist. It can help journalists(记者) and interviewees do interviews even if they are both really busy or live in different time zones. It is still in development, and it first appeared at an event called Coolest Projects Awards, where young people get to show the public what they have created with code. It’s so much fun to share one’s creations, and to see what everyone else has made too.
Learning environment
For the past three years I have also been helping to teach other young people at CoderDojo DCU. In recent years I have also noticed many more girls attending CoderDojo DCU to try out coding. This has a lot to do with the CoderDojo girls’ classes—girls and young women take part in it with their friends, and it doesn’t feel like coding is a “boy thing”. It is really wonderful to see this, because we need more girls and women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). It’s a good way to learn more about technology.
Start early
One of the main things I have learned in the last few years is that coding is not only for adults, coding is for young people, too. And when you are a child, it is a great time to start coding, because your imagination is the limit(限制) for what you can create!
Want to learn more? Find out if there is a CoderDojo near you at www.coderdojo.com or set one up yourself! Also check out Code.org which has lots of fun drag-and-drop coding games.

A. Start Coding as Early as Possible

25、What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save yourself. It is important to know the ways you can use and to show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways (楼梯) and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of serious injury (伤害).
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An grown person, hanging by the finger-tips (手指尖) will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (泄露) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof (屋顶). From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水泥) might end in injury. Trees and grass can help to break a fall.
【1】It is important to _____________________.
A. know the ways to escape a fire
B. put out a fire in a burning house
C. jump out of a burning house
D. keep the door closed
【2】It is possible to escape through the windows .

26、 One day, our teacher said that he had an exercise for us to try. We were asked to stand, facing away from our classmates, and fall backward, relying on(依赖)another student to catch us. Most of us were uncomfortable with this. We couldn't fall back for more than a few inches before stopping ourselves.
Finally, Judy stood up. She is a thin, quiet, dark-haired girl who always wears big, white fisherman sweaters. Judy crossed her arms over her chest, closed her eyes, leaned back, and did not flinch(退缩). She looked like one of those Lipton tea commercials (广告)where the model jumps into the pool.
For a moment, I was sure she was going to thump(重重砸) on the floor. At the last moment, her partner caught her head and shoulders and pulled her up immediately. Wow! several students yelled. Some clapped their hands. Our teacher finally smiled. “You see,” he said to the girl, “you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see. You have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too-even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling.”
【1】Who would catch the students if they fell backward?
A. Teachers. B. Classmates. C. Friends. D. Parents.
【2】Who did stand up at last?
A. Sally. B. Cindy. C. The teacher. D. Judy.
【3】What can be inferred from the story about Judy?
A. She trusts others and is trustful.
B. She wouldn't like to give a hand to others.
C. She was afraid leaning back at first.
D. She is a good jumper.
【4】What does the model do in the Lipton tea commercials?
A. She sells tea.
B. She falls backward on the floor.
C. She jumps into a pool.
D. She drinks tea.
【5】What does the story mainly tell us about?
A. Falling backward B. Great Judy C. Trust D. Good catch
27、 Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?
A study found that first-borns have an average (平均) IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOS found that 43% of CEOS are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely (可能) to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.
If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine, article, “The Power of Birth Order,” last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.
Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored (忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is “spoiled (宠坏的)”. Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.
Many factors (因素) make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.
【1】Who is most likely to be a CEO?
A.A first-born. B.A second-born. C.A last-born.
【2】What can we learn about Jim Carrey?
A.He was likely to be given low pay.
B.He was likely to be agreeable.
C.He was likely to have more rights in a family.
【3】What does the underlined word “short-changed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese?
A.受欢迎的 B.受控制的 C.受亏待的
【4】We can learn from the research that birth order ________.
A.has no influence on IQ B.may decide who we are C.is a factor in making us powerful
【5】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Where Is Your Place in the Family?
B.What Makes You Successful in Life?
C.How Can You Grow into Big Man?
28、Phil is a scientist for NASA. Scientists are always asking questions. One question Phil has is:”Are Rocks on the Earth l【1】 rocks on Mars?” The first step was to collect rocks from around the world. I【2】 of collecting the rocks himself, Phil thought of a good idea.

Mars is the planet most like Earth. “ Studying Mars can tell us a lot about the planet and what humans have to be p【10】 for when they get there,” Phil said.
