24、 On a rainy day, the raincoat and the umbrella have been necessary for people to protect themselves from the rain for decades, probably even centuries. However, Chinese designers are trying to challenge a new product called an umbrella raincoat.
As the name suggests, this wonderful invention combines the raincoat and the umbrella. First, it looks kind of strange, which is the only disadvantage listed by sellers on Chinese Websites. They actually describe it a little differently---"You will get a 100% rate of second look"--- you actually know what it means.
Like the umbrella, it only protects your upper(上面的) body from the rain, with the lower part being almost completely exposed(暴露). Besides, it frees up both your hands, which is obviously the main advantage of it. But isn't the classic raincoat just better? I hear you asking. Well, it is not if you want to show off your clothes while still enjoying some protection from the rain. Though those clear raincoats become foggy (模糊的) in the rain, making it hard for passers-by to look at your fancy dresses, the umbrella raincoats still have a clear view. Other advantages include a lightweight, foldable design and two belts that keep it from being blown away by strong winds.
The umbrella raincoat comes in all kinds of sizes and colors, and as the Chinese online stores show, it will soon take the place of the traditional umbrella, and go into the houses of hundreds of millions of people. I think such a kind of raincoat will play a key role in peoples everyday life in the future.
【1】The underlined word decades means________.
A.dozens of years B.ten years C.many centuries
【2】Which of the following best explains the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
A.It makes you famous to everyone.
B.You may draw tons of attention because of its strange design
C.The umbrella raincoat is a great tool and you will make 100% use of it
【3】The writer thinks the umbrella raincoat is
A.strange but useful B.ugly and useless C.interesting but stupid
【4】From the passage, we can know that________.
A.it is hard for people to look at your fancy dresses by wearing the umbrella raincoat
B.the umbrella raincoat protects not only your upper body but also the lower part
C.in the writer's opinion, the umbrella raincoat has a wonderful design
【5】About the umbrella raincoat, which of the following is NOT true?
A.There are two belts that make it stronger.
B.It can't be seen clearly in the rain
C.It can free up both your hands
25、 Why are some people better able to beat the flu than others? Part of the answer, according to a new study, is related to the first flu strain we met in childhood.
Scientists from UCLA and the University of Arizona have found that people’s ability to beat the flu virus is decided not only by the sub types of flu they have had throughout their lives, but also by the sequence (顺序) in which they have been infected by those viruses. Their study was published in PLoS Pathogens. The research offers an explanation for why some people become much worse than others when infected with the same strain of the flu virus.
In addition, UCLA scientists, including Professor James Lloyd-Smith, who was also a senior author of the PLoS Pathogens research, recently completed a study that analyzed (分析)travel-related screening(筛查) for the 2019-nCoV. The researchers reported that screening travelers is not very effective for the 2019 coronavirus ― that it will catch less than half of infected travelers, on average ― and that most infected travelers cannot be found out, meaning that they have no symptoms(症状)yet, and are unaware that they have been at high risk. So stopping the spread of the virus is not simply a matter of improving screening methods at airports and other travel centers.
“This puts the responsibility on government officials and public health officials to follow up with travelers after they arrive, to separate them and trace(追踪) their contacts if they get sick later,” said Lloyd-Smith, a UCLA professor of ecology and evolutionary biology(生态学和进化生物学). “Many governments have started to impose quarantines (隔离), or even travel bans, as they realize that screening is not enough to stop the spread of the coronavirus.”
One major concern, Lloyd-Smith said is that other countries, especially developing nations, lack the infrastructure(基础设施)and resources for those measures, and are therefore vulnerable to importing(输入) the disease. “Much of the public health world is very concerned about the virus being introduced into Africa or India, where large populations exist that are not able to receive advanced medical care,” he said.
【1】Why is the scientists’ research very important?
A.It explains the cause of the flu virus. B.It reduces the risk of people being infected.
C.It analyzes(分析) people’s ability to fight off the virus. D.It stops the spread of the flu virus all around the world.
【2】What do we know about the novel coronavirus from Paragraph 3?
A.Travelers are at high risk of being exposed to it.
B.It is more difficult to stop its spread than expected.
C.Most travelers infected with it are detected by screening.
D.It spreads especially quickly at airports and railway stations.
【3】Why does the writer mention Lloyd-Smith’s words in Paragraph 4?
A.To persuade people not to travel. B.To provide a method to kill the virus.
C.To show the harmful effects of the virus. D.To stress(强调) the responsibilities of officials.
【4】Which of the following best explains the underlined word “vulnerable” in the last paragraph?
A.Easy. B.Impossible. C.Responsible. D.Indifferent.
26、Nowadays, the food that you buy comes from many different countries. Have a look in your fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins(来源) of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt? You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from “field to plate”, is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer’s field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者).Why is this, and what are the effects(影响) of these long distances?
Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market so the food didn’t have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far, because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition, they could only get food that was in season. Now, because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.
Some countries have to import(进口) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates(UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.
What’s wrong with “food miles”? Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances. we need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的) warming. In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journey. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.
【1】What is called “food miles” according to this passage?
A. The origins of the food. B. The journey from field to plate.
C. The effects of long distances. D. The disadvantages of imported food.
【2】Some countries like the United Arab Emirates have to import most of their food because of ____.
A. long distances B. fresh and tasty food C. difficult climates D. modern technology
【3】The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to ______.
A. buy more local food B. travel long distances
C. increase international trade D. use imported materials

Marco and Kim walked past the city’s recycling center. They saw Mr. Morse was collecting plastic, paper and metal items. Marco stared at all the old stuff. “That gives me an idea!” he said, “Mr. Morse, do you have anything we could _________ to make a basketball hoop?”
Mr. Morse picked up a plastic laundry basket. “We are going to recycle this basket, but I think you can take it.” “It looks useless, old and cracked.
