24、In the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.

Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.

Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.

The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.

At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned ＄1 an hour.

In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.

【1】The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.

A. the word “stewardess” was made up by Ellen Church

B. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a plane

C. Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a plane

D. Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane

【2】From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.

A. Ellen did not behave in the same way as most other girls

B. Ellen’s family was not rich enough to support her education

C. Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospital

D. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely

【3】The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was ________.

A. her flying experience

B. her university education

C. her nursing experience

D. her life attitudes

【4】The passage mainly talks about _______.

A. the background of early flying pilots

B. the experience of flying passengers

27、   In June last year, I had an opportunity to do volunteer work in a small village which is located in northern Australia, far from the cities. Living there is an experience that cannot be fully defined in just words. Although the people of this small village are short of the much material wealth that most of us in big cities have, their positive(积极的) outlook on life is comparable to what we have.

The small village suffered a natural disaster(灾难)about two years ago. Many people lost their material belongings and their houses. Soon after the disaster, families had to live under one roof in houses that were suitable for just- one family. Instead of feeling bottled in, the people felt more of  sense of belonging when families had to live together in such conditions. They banded together to help each other in rebuilding their houses.

It was still beyond my understanding how family took priority (优先) over anything else. If someone is in need, the family will provide any support needed. In cities, it is said that “Houses are getting bigger, while homes are getting smaller”. In this small village, the home will always remain big. Children are taught from an early age that family is worth more than any material wealth that they will come across. They pass the value to their kids, and the cycle continues in keeping family values.

I still remember on the third day I arrived in the small village, two elders wanted to adopt me into their tribe(宗族). As part of that process, I was given a Spirit Totem, and was told that I officially belonged to their tribe. One of the elders explained, “No one is a stranger here. You come here, and you become part of us! Can you imagine if we had that outlook in every small village or on every street on earth?

Leaving this small village was challenging for me indeed. Not only did my outlook change, but my understanding of how life can be defined in different ways took a turn for the better

【1】What can we know from the first paragraph?

A. People in cities don’t live positively

B. People in that village live a very poor life.

C. The people in that small village are hopeful about the future.

D. The writer didn’t want to do volunteer work there.

【2】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 most likely refer to?

A. Especially excited. B. Badly ill.

C. very crowded. D. seriously scared.

【3】What can be the most important in the eyes of the people there?

A. Family values. B. Physical health.

C. Good living condition. D. Children’s education

28、   A 14-year-old Chinese boy Sun Yixiao was 【1】 his way home last Tuesday evening after school. When he was in the lift, it suddenly stopped. Feeling scared at first, the teenager decided to help 【2】 out. Sun tried to open the lift door, but he gave up the idea later and leaned against the wall, because he thought the 【3】 may fall down suddenly. He then pressed all the buttons in the hope of getting the lift work again, 【4】 it didn't work. Sun then pressed the "stop" button to lock the lift to 【5】 sure it would not fall. Without a cellphone at hand, Sun tried shouting 【6】 to get the attention of people outside, but no one answered as time went by. The young boy didn't give up 【7】 . He sent a note through the door with the message and hoped someone would 【8】 it up and help him out. After doing all these, the boy knew it might take a 【9】 time before someone found him. So he decided to do his homework. Soon after he finished his homework, he was saved at last.

On Weibo, many netizens (网民) spoke highly of the boy, because he could keep calm in the face of such 【10】 dangerous situation. We should learn from him.

29、   “Never give up!” It is my law(法则) of life. It has brought me _________. I learned the law from my father’s _________ story.
