24、April 22 is Earth Day. Everyone on earth should care about and protect the earth!

The earth has warmed by about 1°F (华氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which make the earth warmer.

First, the greenhouse effect (温室效应) is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate (气候) change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too.

People can affect the earth’s air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth.

【1】Earth Day is probably created for people to ________.

A．make full use of the earth

B．study the warmth of the earth

C．take better care of the earth

【2】We can infer (推断) from the passage that the reasons for the warmer earth are ________ now.

A．not very clear

B．completely secret

C．well known

【3】The greenhouse effect comes from ________.

A．climate change

B．people’s activity

C．nature’s unbalance

【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．there is more rain now.

B．we must stop pollution.

C．we should protect the earth.

25、   I love my iPhone-It’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices(设备) and truly communicate with others.

I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to carefully study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule-no computers, iPads or phones. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.

Most students bet that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students guess that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it.

The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex(复杂的) ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course, the material and the class discussion.

I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and my students gradually realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.

I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change. I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.

【1】Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with________?

A.the course material B.others’ misuse of technology

C.discussion topics D.the author’s class rule

【2】The underlined word “engage” in Para.4 probably means ________?

A.explore B.accept C.change D.refuse

【3】According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ________.

A.keep students thinking independently

B.encourage students to have deep conversations

C.help students to better understand complex themes

D.affect students’ concentration on the course

【4】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ________.

A.will never change his idea B.will give up teaching history

C.will change his teaching plan soon D.values technology-free dialogues in his class

26、Many of us have a certain pose for photos, but have you ever noticed which side you naturally turn?

According to US science writer Sam Kean, people tend to turn to the right and show the left side of their faces.

That might be because the left side of our faces looks better than our right side. This may have something to do with our brain. The right side of the brain, which controls the left side of the body, deals more with emotions. So the left half of faces are often more expressive(富有表现力的), The Atlantic reported.

During studies, it is found that more than 60 percent of famous paintings since the 14th century showed people’s left side of the face.

But when it comes to self-portraits, artists have traditionally drawn themselves from the right.

Yet this doesn’t mean the left side phenomenon(现象) is wrong. As Professor Marco Bertamini from Liverpool University explained, self-portraits are usually painted through a mirror. For example, if an artist shows his left side to a mirror, and draws what he can see, the final picture on the paper would show the head facing to the right.

The front-facing camera on smart phones works the same way as a mirror. When people take selfies(自拍照) using a front-facing camera, most of them take a photo with their head facing to the right.

“Our results show that a preference(偏爱) for self-portraits showing one’s left side, even if this appears as a right face in the mirror-reversed(反转的)display,”Bertamini told The Guardian.

Next time, when you take a photo, remember to show your better side to the camera.

【1】Why do people like to show the left side of their faces for photos?

A. It’s much easier for us to make a pose.   B. It makes people look more natural on photos.

C. The left side of our faces looks better.   D. The left side of our faces look friendlier.

【2】From Paragraph 3, we learn that __________.

A. the right side of the brain controls the right side of our faces

B. the right side of the brain deals with our emotions

C. the right side of our faces looks more expressive

D. our brain decides whether we look good or not

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Artists usually draw themselves from the left.

B. There is also the left side phenomenon in self-portraits.

C. The front-facing camera on smart phones doesn’t take good photos.

D. Bertamini tells people how to take better selfies.

【4】What does the article mainly talk about?

A. Where to take good photos.   B. How the left side of the brain works.

C. How to draw yourself better.   D. Why we show off the left side of our faces in photos.

27、阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容完成下面表格。

Now students’ English handwriting gets worse and worse. Their teachers worry about that. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!

Use paper with lines

Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight instead of up or down when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And remember that those capital letters are written properly.

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going a little slowly makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.

Hold your pencil correctly

When you hold your pencil correctly, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.

Draw more pictures

Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.

Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs, of course!

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with suitable words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给）

Follow that trash（垃圾）

People don't like to talk about trash. Trash is smelly, dirty, ugly, broken, useless stuff. That's w【1】 we throw it out. But everyone knows that trash affects our environment. It can pollute our land, water and air. So it's important to recycle our trash as much as possible.

Some Americans were very interested in recycling and they were curious（好奇的）about what r【2】 happened to their trash. So, what did they do? They became d【3】 and decided to "Follow that trash!"

They took some items out of their recycling bin and puts e【4】 tags（标签）on them. Signals would be s【5】 to a computer by tags so the people could follow their trash on its journey. They found that some trash only travelling a few kilometres but some trash travelled hundreds of kilometres. Some trash was recycled, b【6】 much of it went into landfills.

Waste management companies in America think this detective work will be helpful to them. Getting rid of waste is very expensive and this "trash tracking" will help them to become more efficient. It will save them time and money.

However, the trash detectives say it's a【7】 important to reduce the amount of trash we produce. After all, if we produce less waste, we won't have to worry about where it goes.

29、I would never forget what I learnt from the day when I left the school. On the last day our teacher told us something______that I would like to share with you.

Your home, your family, your______ and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any______ .”

“Can anyone tell me what happens when you step ______ this circle?” A strong silence came over the room. The same student suddenly replied, “You are afraid”. ______ student said, “You make mistakes”. The silence continued and our teacher smiled and said, “When you make mistakes  ______ can the result be?” The first student shouted. “You ______ something.

“Exactly, you are learning.” Our teacher turned to the blackboard and drew an arrow(箭头) ______ from the man to the outside of the circle. He went on saying, “When you leave your Comfort Zone, you put ________ out there, in a situtation that you are not ______ with. The result is that you learn ______ that you did not know, you enlarge your knowledge to become a better person.” He turned again to the blackboard and drew a ______ circle around the original(原来的) circle, and______ a few new things like more friends, a bigger house etc.
