1、 Should people be allowed to use mobile phones while driving? Different people have different ideas.
George from Colombia: No. People who use mobile phones while driving aren't careful enough. (1) They usually pay more attention to what they are talking about. They shouldn't talk on the phone while driving. They can't control the car well and may cause accidents.
Pan Rong from China: Yes, if they use them correctly. It's very dangerous when drivers are talking on a mobile phone while driving. They may not drive well if they use one hand to hold the phone and use the other hand to drive. (2) To be safe, drivers are supposed to use earphones(耳机) to talk while driving.

24、 You may have seen a talking parrot on a TV show, in a movie, or even in someone's home. The parrot has learned to copy sounds that people make. Birds are not the only animals that can copy the noises they hear. Dolphins, bats, and some apes (猿猴) also copy sounds. Now we can add elephants to this list of copycats (盲目模仿者).
Dr. Joyce Poole is a zoologist. She studies the sounds of elephants. While she was in Kenya, she would hear strange noises made by Mlaika, a 10-year-old elephant, after sunset.
Mlaika lived near a highway. Dr. Poole says, "I could not tell the difference between Mlaika's call and the distant (远处的) truck noise." She and other scientists studied Mlaika's sounds. It turned out that Mlaika was copying the sounds of the trucks driving by. Why would Mlaika copy trucks that she heard going by on the highway? Animals that are able to copy sounds may enjoy practicing new sounds. When they are kept outside of their natural environment, they may copy unusual sounds. That may be why an elephant would copy the sound of a truck.
"Mlaika was not the only copycat elephant," Dr. Poole says. Calimero is a 23-year-old male (雄性的) African elephant. He spent 18 years with two female (雌性的) Asian elephants. Asian elephants make chirping sounds (sounds made by birds) to talk with another. African elephants usually do not make chirping sounds. But Calimero now does. He is copying his Asian elephant friends. Dr. Poole says that elephants need to form bonds with their family and friends. She says, "They make sounds to communicate with each other. When they are separated, they use sounds to keep in touch.”
Parrots, dolphins, humans and elephants show that being copycat is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.
【1】According to the passage, what does Mlaika copy?
A.The sound of people. B.The sounds of trucks. C.The sounds of birds.
【2】Why is Calimero mentioned in the passage?
A.To show the cleverness of African elephants.
B.To introduce a special life skill of Asian elephants.
C.To add another example of copycat elephants.
【3】From Para 4, we can know________.
A.how Asian and African elephants are alike.
B.why the African elephant can make chirping sounds.
C.why the Asian elephants make noises after sunset.
【4】What does underlined word “bonds” mean?
A.发带 B.乐队 C.纽带
【5】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Elephants are also copycats. B.What an elephant can do. C.The sounds of elephants.
25、As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have important effects on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s 1Q scores,” Lewis says, “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, which needs more attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone gets up from the table and walks around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention. “When TV is on.” Lewis says, “Dinner is a non-event.”
【1】Why are the parents with small families talk actively?
A. Their children are outgoing.
B. They love to community.
C. They get along well with each other.
D. They think it’s easy to control the order.
【2】What is the meaning of “invisible”?
A. The middle children keep away from the dinner.
B. No one likes the middle children.
C. The middle children are quiet
D. The middle children get no attention.
【3】Why are some children most likely to get up from the table during the dinner time?
A. They are full.
B. They don’t want to eat food with their families.
C. They didn’t get enough attention.
D. They want to eat alone.
【4】Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question ______.
A. why TV is important in family life
B. why parents should keep good order
C. why children in small families seem to be quieter
D. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life
【5】Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?
A. It is important to have the right food for children.
B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.
C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.
D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner
26、A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps(脚步) and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can. The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!
【1】What did the boy do on the street?
A. He sold his old hat. B. He begged (乞讨) for money.
C. He was busy collecting coins. D. He showed his good handwriting.
【2】The blind boy recognized the man by his _______.
A. words B. voice C. footsteps D. figure
【3】What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it .” “it” refers to _______.
A. The word on the sign B. the money in the hat
C. the step of a building D. the beautiful day
【4】The man who helped the blind boy must be________.
A. Polite and patient B. honest and humorous C. kind and creative D. careful and rich
【5】The best title for the passage should be ________.
A. A man who helped a boy B. A blind boy in the street
C. Let’s help the disabled people D. Different words make a difference
27、All this time Dorothy and Toto had been walking through the thick woods. There were few birds in the forest, but now and then there came a deep sound, which made the little girl’s heart beat fast.
All of a sudden, there came from the forest a terrible roar(吼叫), and the next moment a great Lion jumped into the road. Little Toto ran barking toward the Lion, and the great beast(猛兽)had opened his mouth to bite the dog. Dorothy rushed forward and hit the Lion upon his nose. She cried out:
“How could you bite Toto? You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a big beast like you, to bite a poor little dog!”
“I didn’t bite him,” said the Lion.
“But you tried to,” she said. “You are nothing but a big coward.” “I know it,” said the Lion, “But how can I help it?”
“What makes you a coward?” asked Dorothy.
“It’s a mystery,” replied the Lion. “I suppose I was born that way. All the other animals in the forest naturally expect me to be brave, for the Lion is everywhere thought to be the King of Beasts. As soon as they hear me roar, they all try to get away from me, and of course I let them go. I’m such a coward.”
“But that isn’t right,” said Dorothy.
“I know it,” said the Lion, “Do you mind if I go with you?”
“You will be very welcome,” answered Dorothy, “for you will help to keep away the other wild beasts.”
