24、阅读下列内容,从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案
You are probably familiar with the saying:An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent research carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong may change the saying:An apple a day may keep aging away.
The research chose fruit flies(果蝇), as they share many genes(基因)with humans. The fruit flies were either fed normally or had an apple extract(浓缩物) added to their diet.
It turned out that those fruit flies that were given apple extract lived about 55 days—five days longer than the flies that were normally fed. The research group also found it easier for the flies to walk, climb and move about as they aged.
According to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in the apple extract helped clean up dangerous chemicals(化学物质) that cause illnesses, as well as aging.
In another study, researchers examined diets of thousands of women. They discovered that those who regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke.
The apples’ genetic code(遗传密码) was discovered recently. It allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier fruits. Researchers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer.
Apples that kill the desire(欲望) to eat could also be produced, with the first“extra-healthy’’apples on supermarket shelves within just four or five years.
The team that keeps studying apple DNA includes 100 scientists from five countries. Their research also suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off the plant, which would finally become today’s apple tree, experienced a great genetic change. The number of many of its genes doubled. The extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development from peaches, strawberries and other related fruits.
【1】Why were fruit flies used for the research?
A. Because they have a similar diet to humans.
B. Because they have a history as long as apples.
C. Because they feed on nothing but apple extract.
D. Because they share a lot of genes with humans.
【2】What result did the researchers find out?
A. Apples produce chemicals that can change human genes.
B. Apples have antioxidants that kill chemicals that cause aging.
C. Apples are rich in vitamins that are needed in humans’ bodies.
D. Apples produce chemicals that make apples taste more delicious.
【3】What happened to apples around 65 million years ago according to the research?
A. Their genes stopped their development as the environment got worse.
B. Their genes became twice in number but they finally died off like dinosaurs. [
C. They experienced a great genetic change making them used to worse conditions.
D. They went through a similar development to peaches, strawberries and other related fruits.
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A. Eating apples may bring us more advantages than we might believe before.
B. People who have the habit of eating apples don’t need to see a doctor.
C. Apples that kill the desire to eat are already available in supermarkets now.
D. People will eat apples instead of peaches and strawberries from now on.
25、What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Well, this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driver-less cars, which are now in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self-driven cars could be available very soon.
Cars already have many features(特性) allowing them to take over for drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they detect objects close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions. Scientists, and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driving car might be possible.
The self-driven car may be the answer to lowering the number of deathly accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions. However, there are still some people who do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example doesn’t believe these cars are safe. He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high.
Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
【1】Only Google has the technology of working on driver-less cars.
【2】The underlined phrase “take over for” in Paragraph 2 means “take the place of”.
【3】Self-driven cars have already avoided car accidents one hundred percent.
【4】Scientists and engineers think that it’s possible to make safe self-driven cars.
【5】The article mainly talks about different opinions on self-driven cars.
26、 Good study habits will help you make full use of your time and learn better. Here is some advice from US scientists.
Study the same thing in different places. You may have a regular place to study-a quiet room or a corner of the school library. But scientists say it helps you to remember if you study the same thing in two different places. For example, you can read your Chinese textbooks in your classroom and in the school garden. See if you remember what you learned better than if you had read the same thing twice in the classroom.
Don't just learn one skill at a time. Have you ever seen athletes training? They usually do strength, speed and skill training together. Our brain works like that, too. It is better at learning different skills than just one at a time. For example, if you are studying English, you may want to study vocabulary, grammar and reading all at the same time.
Space out(间隔开) your studying. Most of you may have had the experience of studying for a long time the night before a test. That may get you a good grade on an exam, but you will soon forget the things you learned. Scientists found that spacing improves your ability to remember things. You can study for an hour tonight, an hour on the weekend, another hour a week from now. Then you won't need to stay up all night for a test.
【1】US scientists gave us ________ pieces of advice to study better.
A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
【2】You can study better if you read__________________.
A. in the library all the time
B. in different places
C. in a regular place
D. in the classroom all the time
【3】The underlined word“ athletes” means in Chinese
A. 服务员 B. 科学家 C. 登山者 D. 运动员
【4】Which of the following is TRUE?
A. You should only study vocabulary.
B. You should learn one skill at a time.
C. You should learn different skills at a time.
D. You should study only the night before a test.
【5】Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Good Study Habits
B. Skill Training
C. The Best Time for Study
D. Different Study Places
27、Today the word friendship has been used so often that it has lost its meaning. Some jokingly or seriously say that friends are made to be used. It makes me very sad.
True friendship doesn’t mean that when you need your friend’s help,you will treat him to dinner,and when you have to protect yourself,you will put your friends in a difficult situation.
In fact,true friendship is the communication and understanding of the hearts.
True friendship is like water. Compared wish decent wine,water is tasteless,but is of great help when we are thirsty. True friends don’t need to be with each other every day,but are connected in heart every minute.
True friendship is like medicine. Though it is bitter,it cures your illness. True friends give you some suggestions even if they know you would not take. They criticize(批评)you when others have a good word for you,not because of envy but worrying that you may lose your cool head.
True friendship has nothing to do with fame,power or money. True friends would often watch you silently far away when you are influential,but come to you whenever you need their help. You’re not his stepping-stone to success,but are his crutch(精神寄托)to live through difficulties.
True friends make you complete. Many persons go along with you through your life ─ your parents,your spouse(配偶),and your children,who take care of you and make your life happy. However,you still need someone who understands your thoughts and souls. Without them,you are likely to be unhealthy in spirit.
True friends stay in your heart,rather than at your side;they know you more than yourself,and try to better you.
Once you have found such a true friend,do treasure(珍惜)him. If your true friend disappears,how can you make the sound of your heart understood?

28、What would you think if you saw a fish walking? Would you look again if you saw a fish c【1】a tree? There is a fish that does b【2】of these things. It is called the tree-climbing fish.
It is believed that a traveller to India first told about the tree-climbing fish. The fish was h【3】up in a tree. What was the fish doing in that tree? How did it get there? The traveller t【4】 a bird might have put it there.
The next day the traveller saw a fish come out of the w【5】 . It was hard to believe, but up the road went the fish. It used its fins (鱼鳍) and tail to pull i【6】 along. It stopped to eat some worms.
