24、判断文后句子的意思是否与短文内容相符。用“T”表示相符;用“F”表示不相符。
My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are very different from the way they are at home. For example, you’re not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You’re supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I’m used to it. Another example is that you’re not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. Another thing is that it’s impolite to say that you’re full. If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, “That was delicious.” Also, you’re not supposed to put your elbows on the table. I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m gradually getting used to it. I don’t find French customs so strange any more.
【1】You’re not supposed to put your bread on your plate.
【2】Now I’m used to putting my bread on the table.
【3】You’re supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread.
【4】It’s impolite to say that you’re full.
【5】I still find French customs so strange.
25、In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.
Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.
Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.
To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.
The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who losethem. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.
“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”
【1】Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?
A. They cannot repair themselves.
B. The computer has changed a lot.
C. They have no computers inside.
D. The computer cannot work if the robot changes.
【2】The new technology allows the robot to _________.
A. do house work for humans
B. keep working after being damaged
C. remember a lot of information
D. tell people where it is
【3】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A. sensors B. robots
C. arms and legs D. scientists
【4】How do the sensors in the robot work?
A. They can replace the computer when it’s broken.
B. They can find out where the damage comes from.
C. They help the computer learn the robot’s condition.
D. They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.
【5】The passage is probably from_____________.
A. a newspaper B. an advertisement
C. a tour guide D. an application
26、Lauren Singer has produced almost no waste in the past two years, providing that a rubbish-free lifestyle is possible. Lauren studied environmental science at NYU (New York University). It was during her student years that she began working towards “zero-waste” goals.
Today she has learned to make all of her own everyday eco-friendly products, such as toothpaste, shampoo, kitchen cleaner and so on. She also set up her own company “The Simply Co.” to sell her home-made products. “I stopped buying packaged (包装过的) products and began bringing my own bags and jars (罐子) to fill with products at the supermarket,” she explained. “I stopped buying new clothes and shopped for only second-hand things.” Lauren usually writes about her experiences of a zero-waste life on her blog (微博). Lauren says that she now saves a lot of money because she is prepared when she goes shopping, and does not buy things that she won’t use at all. Lauren says that the past two years were not easy, but her zero-waste life has been well worth the effort.
The 23-year-old girl has become a role model to many. She’s giving talks in schools and colleges and also having more and more interviews about her zero-waste lifestyle on TV and the radio worldwide.

27、Gary and Gavin were twin brothers who worked in a department store owned by their father. After their father had passed away, they took over the store. Everything went well until the day a twenty-dollar bill disappeared. Gary had left the bill on the cash register (收银机). But when he returned, the money was gone.
Gary then asked his brother Gavin, “Did you see that twenty-dollar bill on the cash register?” Gavin said that he did not. But Gary did not let it go and kept questioning. “The twenty-dollar bill can’t get up and walk away by itself! Surely you must have seen it.” There was accusation (谴责) in Gary’s voice. Tempers began to rise and resentment (愤慨) grew. “I said I didn’t see it!” Gavin replied with anger.
The quarrel separated the young men and they could no longer work together. Later, a wall was built in the center of the store. For twenty years, hostility never ended.
One day, a strange man came to the store. He walked in and asked Gary, “How long have you been here?” Gary replied that he’d been there all his life. “Then you are the person I’m looking for, since I must confess (承认) something to you,” the customer said emotionally. “Twenty years ago, I was totally hungry. I entered this store from the back door and saw a twenty-dollar bill on the cash register. And I took it. All these years I haven’t been able to forget that. I had to come back and ask for your forgiveness.”
The stranger felt astonished (吃惊的) when seeing tears well (涌出) up in the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him. “Would you please go to the next door and tell the same story to the man in the store?” Gary asked. Then something surprised the stranger even more—after hearing his story, the two middle-aged men hugged each other and went together in front of the wall of the store.
After twenty years, the wall of resentment (怨恨) that set them apart finally came down.
【1】How did the twin brothers get on with each other before the twenty-dollar bill disappeared?

28、 As you grow older, there will be certain events that will mark your growth. Graduating from high school and getting your first job are just a few of these. What are some other ways in which we mark our j【1】 towards adulthood?
In the US, getting your driver’s license at the age of 16 is seen as a major coming-of-age (成人) ritual (仪式). You may have seen kids c【2】 their first car in movies and TV shows. It is the first true t【3】 of independence for most teenagers. But not every teenager gets a car right away. U【4】, their parents will buy a second-hand car for them as their first car.
Another big coming-of-age event is the prom (毕业舞会). H【5】 at the end of the year, the prom is a graduation celebration for senior high school students. Teenagers wear fancy clothing, ask each other to dance and vote (投票) for a prom "king" and “queen". For many teenagers, prom is the biggest social event of the year. It's a time for them to dress and a【6】 like an adult.
And there's still more. At the age of 18, we can vote in the US and at 21, we can drink alcohol ( 酒 ).
This is also the time when most children m【7】 out of their parents' home for college or work. It is around this age that society starts to c【8】 us to be adults. But what does it really mean to be an adult?
Psychologist Jeffrey Arnett surveyed young adults and found three c【9】 adulthood goals: taking r【10】 for yourself, making independent decisions, and being financially (经济上) independent.
I agree with Arnett. Being an adult has more to do with one's maturity (成熟) If you want to drive, vote, drink, leave home or even start a romantic relationship, you have to make sure that you're ready to be responsible.
