24、 Pollution
Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn't have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It's bad for all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called haze(雾霾).
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away. And they mustn't blow dirty smoke into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.

A.noise pollution B.air pollution C.water pollution D.waste things
【4】Factories must clean water ________.
A.before they use it B.when they use it
C.after it is thrown away D.before it is thrown away
【5】From the passage we know that ________.
A.a few years ago, there was no haze at all B.people today don't have to talk to each other in a loud voice
C.we can drink water from the polluted rivers and lakes D.people are making rules in order to fight pollution
25、Every summer morning, I know I am going to my favourite place to volunteer and make a difference in someone’s life just by being with him or her-----a summer school for children with autism(孤独症)。
By helping the kids read or do math, I am not only teaching important skills but also helping them feel like any other kid. There are many wrong ideas about autism. The kids I work with can think and feel. They need help only in certain areas.
Of course, each kid is special. For example, some kids like to draw, and others like to sing.
At the school, the kids learn through about 20 activities. These activities can help them learn skills they will need later in life.
The very first day I volunteered, a boy came up to me, put his hand on my shoulder and said “Hello.” From then on, I knew I could make a difference.
Another boy loved to have me read books that can help him learn to read. Sometimes he could be encouraged to read a few words or sentences. Finally, one day during reading practice, he read nearly 220 words himself!
Summer school is also a time for fun. Last summer, bagpipe(风筝)players came to perform. Most of us had our hands over our ears because they were so loud. When they asked for a volunteer from the audience, one girl raise her hand as high as she could, got up on stage and even tried the bagpipes in front of everyone.
Through these experiences, I realize that the challenges these kids face do not stop them from doing many amazing things. I’m teaching them, but they are teaching me as well.
【1】According to Paragraph 2, many people think those kids______________
A. can’t read or do math
B. don’t have important skills
C. don’t play with other kids
D. can’t think or feel
【2】The writer believed he could make a difference when______________
A. a boy let him read books
B. a boy greeted him actively
C. a boy could read by himself
D. a girl tried the bagpipes
【3】What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage?
A. His teaching experience in a summer holiday
B. How to make a difference in others’ lives
C. His experience as a volunteer in a special summer school
D. What the life of the children with autism is like
26、
Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. Du Fu, known as the Sage of Poetry, lived and wrote in the eighth century, and his work is still available to modern Chinese readers. Du Fu, in fact, is still widely quoted (引用) in China today, and he has had a great influence on Chinese poetry in the past 1,200 years. However, the poet’s complete works weren’t unavailable in English translation in the past.
Conant University Professor Stephen Owen, who spent eight years on The Poetry of Du Fu, a 3,000-page translation published by De Gruyter, has completed the first English translation of the complete works of Du Fu.
Because Du Fu, like Shakespeare, is known for great width — in subject, in the way he uses language to pass on different registers (不同场合用的语言和文体) (see “Out with the Sake, In With the Wine”) and layered (多层次的) meanings — he is one of the most challenging poets to translate. Chinese poetry, a literary tradition in which tenses are absent, pronouns rare, and the use of the singular and plural forms are hard to understand, is well known for seeming ambiguous (模糊不清的) at times. Within that tradition, the interpretation of Du Fu’s work is especially contested. Owen’s critical edition, in which his translations face the original texts, brings a scholarly aid for the first time to English-speaking readers ready to engage with China’s literary lion.
【1】“Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary
tradition.” means “ ”.
A. Du Fu has the same important literary status as Shakespeare in their own countries
B. Du Fu is not as well-known as Shakespeare in China
C. Du Fu is much more famous than Shakespeare in England
【2】The Poetry of Du Fu is translated into English by .
A. Shakespeare B. Du Fu C. Stephen Owen
【3】The underlined sentence is closer to the original Chinese version “ ”.
A. 零落栖迟一杯酒,主人奉觞客长寿
B. 莫思身外无穷事,且尽生前有限杯
C. 花间一壶酒,独酌无相亲
【4】Chinese poems are hard to translate because of the following factors EXCEPT .
A. the use of singular and plural forms
B. too many characters
C. tenses and pronouns
【5】According to the passage, the following statement “ ” is TRUE.
A. The Poetry of Du Fu is the first English translation of the complete works of Du Fu.
B. There was no English translation of Du’s works in the past.
C. Du’s works are out of style in China today.
