24、Sir Henry and Captain Good were exhausted and weak from loss of blood. I, too, was more tired than I could remember ever being. We rested, therefore, for many days before we even thought about the future. Then, when we were strong enough to travel again, I said to Ignosi, “You promised me diamonds if I helped you to become king.”
“I did.” he said. “I will keep my promise. But, only Gagool knows where to find them, and I must kill her and the other witches.”
“There has been enough killing,” I said. “Tell the old woman that if she will lead us to the diamonds, you will spare her life.”
Ignosi thought about this for a long time, and then he said, “I will speak to the woman and tell you what she says.”
Ignosi was as good as his word, and he persuaded (劝说) Gagool to guide us to the diamonds. Three days later, Sir Henry, Captain Good, Foulata-the girl who owed her life to Captain Good and Infadoos were climbing the mountains called the Three Witches. Some warriors carried Gagool. She screamed and cursed (诅咒) continuously, but she knew where the diamonds were. And at last, we came to a deep hole in the ground. It had sloping sides and was not a natural hole. It was the work of miners.
Huge statues guarded the mine. I remembered that King Solomon worshipped (崇拜) some strange gods. “Could these be statues of those gods?” I asked Sir Henry who knew much about ancient history. “It is possible.” he said. The Phoenicians were great merchants and builders. They built King Solomon’s Temple. Perhaps they dug this mine for him. “We want to go into the mine,” I told Gagool, “It is the Place of Death,” she said, “but if you want to enter, then I will lead the way.”
【1】What did Ignosi promise me to do if I helped him to become king?

C.He only thought of himself.
D.He was honest.
【4】What is the right order of what happened in the story?

③The Phoenicians built the King Solomon’s Temple.
④They lost a lot of blood.

25、We were trapped in the ice. The hole was deeper but the sides of the tunnel were narrowing. We worked harder. The hole grew deeper, but the air in the Nautilus was very bad. Then, the captain had a new idea. He heated water in his batteries and pumped it into the hole. This stopped the sides from narrowing.
It was a terrible night. We had so little air that everybody had a headache. We could hardly breathe. Then, the captain drove the Nautilus into the hole. The ice broke. ① Suddenly, the Nautilus was free. It sailed quickly northwards still under the ice. ② We still had no air. My face was purple, and my lips were blue. I could not breathe, see or hear. I was going to die! ③ Ned and Conseil found some air in one of the diving tanks. They gave it to me. ④ Again and again it hit the ice. Finally, it broke through. Air rushed into the submarine and we could breathe again. We rushed onto the deck, breathing and breathing.
The Nautilus continued sailing north for several days. We were heading back to the Atlantic. Ned decided to escape, but we did not know where to go. We saw Tierra del Fuego and the Falkland Islands. We sailed up the coast of South America, past the mouth of the Amazon, and across the equator. In all this time we did not see the captain. We had been on the Nautilus for six months and traveled seventeen thousand leagues.
We were near the Bahamas when Ned saw caves under the water. “This is where giant squid live,” I said, “Perhaps we will see some.”
Suddenly we saw an eight-meter squid rushing toward the Nautilus. Seven others followed it. The Nautilus stopped. Captain Nemo came into the room. “We are going to fight the squid,” he said.

26、CHICAGO- Have you ever worked on your laptop computer with it sitting on your lap, heating up your legs? If so, you might want to rethink that habit from now on. Doing it a lot can lead to “toasted skin syndrome (症状)”, an unusual-looking spotted skin condition caused by long-term heat exposure (暴露), according to medical reports.
In one recent case, a 12-year-old boy from California developed a skin discoloration on his left lap after playing computer games a few hours every day for several months. “He recognized that the laptop got hot on the left side; however, he did not change its position,” Swiss researches reported in an article published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
Another similar case is a Virginia law student who needed treatment for the spotted darkening on her leg. Dr. Kimberley Salkey, who treated the young woman, learned the student spent about six hours a day working with her computer placed on her lap. As Dr. Salkey later learnt, the temperature under the laptop could reach 51 degrees. That case, from 2007, is one of 10 laptop-related cases reported in medical journals in the past six years.
The condition can also be caused by overuse of heating pads (垫子) and other heat sources that usually aren’t hot enough to cause burns. It’s generally harmless but can also cause such permanent (永久的) skin darkening. In very rare cases, it can cause damage leading to skin cancers, said the Swiss researchers, Drs. Andreas Arnold and Peter Itin from University Hospital Basel. They do not mention any skin cancer cases linked to laptop use, but suggest, to be safe, placing a carrying case under the laptop if you have to hold it on your lap.
Dr. Kimberley Salkey said that under the microscope, the affected skin is similar to skin damaged by long-term sun exposure.
Major producers including Apple and Dell warn against placing laptops on laps or exposed skin for long periods of time because of the risks for burns. In the past, “toasted skin syndrome” has happened to workers whose jobs require being close to a heat source, including bakers and glass blowers, and in people who gathered near hot stoves to stay warm.
Dr. Anthony J. Mancini, chief at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, said that it’s unlikely that computer use would lead to cancer since it’s so easy to avoid close skin contact (接触) with laptops.
【1】According to the passage, “toasted skin syndrome” can be caused by all the following EXCEPT ______.
A. being close to a heat source or hot stoves B. long period of direct contact to hot laptop
C. using one’s laptop with a carrying case D. overuse of heating pad and other heat sources
【2】The underlined word “discoloration” in the 2nd paragraph refers to ______.
A. spot B. darkening C. sunburn D. heat
【3】It can be learnt from the passage that laptop users ______.
A. should avoid close skin contact with laptops
B. are likely to develop a certain kind of cancer
C. have known much about the harm of laptop heating
D. should go to see the doctor at once
【4】Some computer producers warn against placing laptops on laps for long periods of time because of ______.
A. the risk for burns B. the risk of dropping
C. the risk of breaking D. the protection of back bone
【5】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? ______.
A. Laptop is Dangerous B. Skin Damage is Possible
C. A Bad Habit D. No laps for Warm Laptops
27、Born into a farmer’s family, life was not easy when I was a kid. We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from. I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family.
A storyteller once came to the marketplace, and I went to listen to him. My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job. But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, I couldn't help retelling stories I'd heard that day. She listened impatiently at first, since in her eyes professional (职业的) storytellers were smooth-talking men—nothing good ever came out of their mouths. But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories, and from that day on, she never gave me any task on market days, unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories. As a repayment(回报)for Mother's kindness and a way to show off my memory, I'd retell the stories for her in lively detail. Soon, she wasn't the only member of my audience, which later included my elder sisters, my aunts, even my stubborn grandmother.
I knew she was worried about me. Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village, for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much. Mother often reminded me not to talk so much, wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager. However, my natural desire(渴望)to talk never went away, and that is what makes my name – Mo Yan, which means ‘no speaking’. This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself, which is important for writers who are also considered as storytellers.
【1】Mo Yan lived a/an ________ life when he was young.
A. difficult B. colourful C. easy D. rich
【2】From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A. little Mo Yan was interested in selling vegetables
B. his mother was attracted by the retold story at first
C. his mother didn’t let him listen to the new stories again
D. little Mo Yan had quite a good memory
【3】Why did his mother dislike the professional storytellers?
A. Because she thought they never said anything good.
B. Because she thought they couldn’t make much money.
C. Because she thought they would affect Mo Yan’s schoolwork.
D. Because she thought most people didn’t like listening to stories.
【4】In Mo Yan’s opinion, a writer should be a ________ child when they were young.
A. silent B. modest
C. talkative D. trouble-making
【5】Which is the best title(标题)of the passage?
A. My Unlucky Childhood
B. A Storyteller’s Childhood
C. My Kind Grandmother
D. More talking leads to success
28、根据短文内容及所给提示,在文中的空白处填写一个正确的单词。
Can you climb trees? Maybe your parents ever told you, “Don't climb trees. It's 【1】 (danger).” But Xiamen University is going to have a new class: Tree-climbing.
Zhu Chongshi, the president of Xiamen University, once visited Cornell University in New York, and he was surprised【2】 the course there.
In Treeclimbing class, the teachers do not just let the students【3】 only with their hands. They teach the 【4】 (safe) skills like those used in rock-climbing. Students wear special caps and clothes to protect 【5】 (them). And they use ropes so that they can't fall 【6】 and get hurt. The class is very useful. Students are 【7】 (encourage) to learn the skills, like swimming in and after class by the teacher. In a time of disaster such as floods, earthquake, etc., such knowledge may make a 【8】 (different) between life and death.
No classroom subject could ever give them these skills. Students should find and develop their own inborn(与生俱来的) skills and talents. An allknowing teacher should no longer see the child as an empty cup and only pour knowledge 【9】 (direct) into it.
I 【10】 climbing trees will arouse(激发) up the potential(潜能) in many students.
