24、   ①Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.

②There were eating places travelers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns（旅店） that would serve food. And there were taverns（酒馆） where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a "restaurant".

③A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups. On his sign he used the word "restaurant" to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help "restore" (恢复) your health—in French the word "restore" is "restaurer"—so he called the soups "restaurants". Soon, people started buying Boulanger's soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word "restaurant" to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More "restaurants" opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often.

④Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire.

⑤Today, cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from which to choose.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A.How restaurants developed. B.What made a good restaurant.

C.Who created the first restaurant. D.Why restaurants became popular.

【2】According to the first paragraph, what made restaurants different from earlier eating places?

A.Restaurants only served food. B.Restaurants were more expensive.

C.Restaurants were mainly in cities. D.Restaurants had a list of meal choices.

【3】Who did Boulanger expect to come and eat at his restaurant?

A.Rich people. B.Sick people. C.Travelers. D.Workers.

【4】The right structure (结构)of the passage is ________?

A.①②-③④-⑤ B.①-②③-④⑤ C.①-②-③④-⑤ D.①②③-④-⑤

25、On the first day of school, our professor challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a little old lady looking up at me with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! I’m Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”

I laughed, “Of course! Why are you in college at such a young, innocent(幼稚的) age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children and then travel around.”

“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious(好奇的) why she took on this challenge at this age.

“I always dreamed of having a college education, and now I’m getting one,” she told me.

We became friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk for hours. Listening to this human “time machine” as she shared her years of wisdom(智慧) and experience with me was so interesting.

Over the year, Rose became a campus icon(校园偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went.

She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering. I’ll never forget what she taught us. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only a few secrets to staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. There are many people walking around who are dead, and they don’t even know it,” she said.

“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability,” she added. “But growing up requires finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. People usually don’t have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.”

Rose taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.

【1】Rose went to college because she ________.

A．wanted to live longer

B．loved to stay with the young

C．wanted to realize her dream

D．planned to enjoy her life there

【2】In Rose’s opinion, “growing up” means ________.

A．taking on more responsibilities

B．people stop playing

C．people have a lot of regrets

D．the opportunities of change

【3】What is the correct order of the following events?

a. Rose became popular among students.

b. Rose explained why she went to college.

c. Rose gave an inspiring speech.

d. Rose and the author became friends.

e. Rose introduced herself to the author.

A．e-d-a-b-c

B．e-b-d-a-c

C．d-e-a-c-b

D．d-a-c-e-b

【4】From Rose’s life and experience, we can learn ________.

A．being nice to people can get respect from them

B．the secret of staying young is never stopping studying

C．do what we dream of and live without regret

D．no matter how old we are, we should keep playing

26、   Betty was familiar with Hopelink's Carnation food bank, but that didn't make it easier for her to take that first step inside when she found herself needing help a few years ago.

"I sat out in the car for a long time before I finally went in," Betty says. "But I knew I had to do it."

Betty and her husband lived together happily. When her husband passed away in 2008, everything changed. Soon, Betty realized she needed to ask for help.

"When Dave was still alive, I never thought it would happen," she says. "I never really thought I would have to go to a food bank. I thought I'd be able to keep my job longer, and I thought we'd have more money to save."

Things didn't work out that way. And finally, Betty found herself in need of help, sitting in her car outside Hopelink, working up the courage to take that first step.

Once inside, she felt welcome immediately.

"A dear lady – I think she was a volunteer – came up to me, and whether she saw that I was scared … I think so; I feel that way," Betty says. "And she said, 'you know, there's a lot of us that have to come here.' And I went into the food bank, and it was wonderful. I learned there were other people having a hard time … it wasn't just me."

Betty started visiting the food bank twice a month, and began to look forward to it. It gave her a chance to get out of the house and dress up a bit – often in her favorite color pink – and meet other people and check in with the regular volunteers.

While Hopelink has helped Betty stay healthy and independent in her later years, it's knowing that someone cares that means the most.

"I appreciate Hopelink, I really do," Betty says. "They've helped me in a million ways since Dave died. And without them, I don't know what I would do. Without the food bank, I'm not sure I could make it. I know I couldn't."

Since 1971, Hopelink has served homeless and low-income families and individuals in King and Snohomish counties; providing stability (稳定) and helping people get the skills and knowledge they need to exit poverty for good.

【1】It wasn't easy for her to ________ when she needed help a few years ago.

A.take that first step into the food bank B.buy fresh food in the food bank

C.be a volunteer in the food bank D.stay beautiful and independent

【2】Later on, Betty ________ to go to the food bank.

A.refused B.expected C.managed D.forgot

【3】The word "appreciate" in Paragraph 10 probably means ________.

A.am thankful for B.am careful about C.am regretful for D.am worried about

27、

28、   He was just an ordinary postman who delivered mails across the village day after day. One day, when he looked up in the sky, he almost f【1】 — it was a little stone that caught his feet. He found the stone strange but beautiful. He then placed the stone in his bag c【2】. Because of this stone's arrival, his day was lightened. He had a thought— I can build a castle with such beautiful stones.

His life started to be different then. He still delivered mails, but he c【3】 every stone he could find along the way. All those dusty stones, in his eyes s【4】 brightly like diamonds.

D【5】 the daytime he passed along the dreams of others, while at night he had his own dream! No one was willing to join him, but he was still happy because he knew the dream and the castle only b【6】 to him.

After 20 years of working day and night, his dream castle was finally c【7】. It was a wonderful castle just as he i【8】.

This is a real story. His name is Xue Waller. The stone castle has become one of the most famous t【9】 attractions in France. At the entrance of the stone castle, there is a s【10】 on the board— I want to know how far a dream stone can go.

29、   You have waited 45 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes’ break between classes. But when the bell for the next class rings, you can’t __________ how quickly time has passed.

If you are familiar with this scene, you’ll know how time flies when you are having fun and drags when you are bored. Now scientists have come up with a reason why this is the case.

Scans have shown that patterns of activity in the brain change according to how we focus on a task. When we are bored, we concentrate more on how time is passing. And this makes our brains _________ the clock is ticking more slowly.

In an experiment _________ by a French laboratory, 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers monitored their brain activity.

The volunteers were told to _________ concentrate on how long an image appeared for, then _________ the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration and color. The results showed that the brain was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects.

It is thought that if the brain is busy focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. _________, time passes without us really noticing  it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its full energies on monitoring the passing of time. As a result, time seems to drag.

【1】A. guess B. learn C. believe D. doubt

【2】A. report B. think C. decide D. see
