24、Your college years, the one time in your life can you truly enjoy the art of staying up late. Others may be fooled into thinking that your sleepless nights are the result of hard study, but we know the real reason why you’re burning the midnight oil.
Does this sound familiar(熟悉)? Every evening, after returning to your dorm(宿舍), you sit checking your smartphone for a few minutes, which quickly turns into a few hours. When you do finally get round to looking at your homework, you can only manage to write a few words before you become bored.
To stop from falling asleep, you decide to play a video game just a few rounds, to put new energy in your mind so you can start working again. But the next time you check the clock, it’s already the few hours of the morning.
That’s when you realize there’s no time left to procrastinate. So you take a hold of your pen and get to work, on the one hand regretting the lack(缺乏)of time you have to complete your task, while also accepting praises from your roommates for studying so hard.
You tell yourself you stay up late because you are a hard worker. In fact you’re fooling yourself.
In the dark of night, only a few light spots(光点)can be seen in your almost-empty office. Now and then, the silence is broken by the keyboard taps(击声). Although you work overtime every day, you still haven’t managed to reach the goals you set for yourself.
But why should this be? You’re careful not to get distracted(分神)by your phone, and seldom sit around daydreaming. Still, you’ve hardly anything to show for all the extra(额外的)time you spend in the office. So you hold your head in your hands and cry out: where did the time go?
You might feel busy every day, but in truth you’re finishing little.
All your time is spent imagining a great future, without ever actually doing what’s needed to make that dream a reality.
In your mind, you work harder than anyone else, but your results show this to be a lie.
So please, have a rethink. Let’s stop it with the lying. Are you really trying hard, or are you hardly trying?
【1】Which of the following would be the best title?
A.Are you really trying hard?
B.Are you hardly trying?
C.Where did the time go?
D.Are you really still at work?
【2】The word “procrastinate” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.
A.think again
B.put off
C.study hard
D.stay up
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.We should work harder than others.
B.We should stay up late to work better.
C.We should put our whole heart into work.
D.We should spend time imagining a great future.
25、Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair, or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called “Internet of things”.
The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet things. He said that four years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, no matter whether it’s a remote control or a washing machine.
So, how do household objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well, think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.
An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people’s faces and has an infrared sensor(红外传感器), so even if it’s dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who’s there. If the person is someone you don’t know, it can tell you that, too.
But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全)systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked. Moreover, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2015.
So, picture this: you enter your home.The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.
【1】According to Samsung CEO, when will his product be part of the Internet of things?
A. In 2010 B. In 2020
C. In 2030 D. In 2040
【2】We can infer(推断) from paragraphs 3 and 4 that _____________.
A. the chair can know whether the user feels cold or not
B. an unusual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes in
C. an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the house
D. an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the user's smartphone
【3】What does the article mainly talk about?
A. Advantages of living with the Internet

D. The impossible “Internet of things”
【4】Which of the following words best describes the writer’s tone (语气)in the article?
A. Doubtful(可疑的) B. Hopeful
C. Humorous D. Worried
26、A new study warns that about 30% of the world’s people may not have enough water by the year 2025.
A personal American organization called Population Action International(PAI)did the new study. It says more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack(缺少)enough water now. These people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.
PAI researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three thousand million people may face water problems. At least 18 more countries are expected to lack enough water. The need for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount(数量)of water on the earth stays the same.
The report says lack of water in the future may cause several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. Lack of water may also lead to more international conflict(冲突). Countries may have to fight for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would influence the ability to improve their economies(经济). This is because new industries often need a great amount of water when they are beginning.
The Population Action International study gives several ways to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water.A third way is to use less water for agriculture.
The report also says a long-term way to the water problem is to control population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.
【1】The PAI study shows that ________ countries will lack water by the year 2025.
A.at least 46
B.at most 46
C.18
D.28
【2】Which of the following problems is NOT true according to the passage?

B.①②③→④→⑤→⑥
C.①②③④→⑤→⑥
D.①②③→④→⑤⑥
【4】After reading the passage, many people will probably ________.

27、The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.
Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk to you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.
Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silent.
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The benefits of learning other languages.
B.The reasons why people come to America.
C.The importance of learning English.
D.How to learn another language.
【2】The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to _______.
A.discuss the need for teaching a new language
B.introduce the passage’s main characters to the readers
C.describe the advantages of moving to another country
D.show the problems of speaking only one language
【3】According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can _______.
A.find a better job
B.make more friends
C.better understand history
D.communicate more independently
【4】Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?
A.Not knowing another language.
B.Forgetting one’s mother language.
C.Refusing to learn another language.
D.Failing to communicate with others.
