24、Alfredo Moser is a Brazilian worker who is skilled at repairing machines. His wife says her husband has always been handy (手巧的) at home and made tables and chairs. Alfredo has invented a way of lighting his house during the day without electricity.

He has been using plastic bottles filled up with water and a little bleach (漂 白剂) to provide dark rooms with light for many years. And the idea has now spread across the world. It is predicted that his lighting system, which works using refraction (折射) of sunlight, will be fitted in over a million homes by the end of this year.

Alfredo used normal plastic drink bottles that are often thrown away. The secret of the liquid in the bottles is the bleach added to water, which stops it turning green in the sunlight. Mr. Moser drills a hole in a roof tile (瓦片) and then pushes the bottle in from below, keeping the bottle in place with polyester resin (聚酯树脂). Depending on the strength of sunlight, the light fills his home, and the bottles are just like electric bulbs (灯泡) of between 40 and 60 watts (瓦).

Alfredo came up with the idea for his “Moser light” during one of the blackouts in Brazil in 2002. He said only factories had power in his home city, in southern Brazil during the energy shortage.

The local supermarket and his neighbours’ houses are using Moser lights. He earned a few dollars, but his invention has not made him a rich man. Now a great number of people admire what he is doing!

D. Alfredo is a helpful man to save our world.

【2】Why does Alfredo put a little bleach into the bottle?

A. Because the bottle can give more light.

B. Because the bleach can keep the bottle in a roof tile.

C. Because the bleach can protect water from turning green.

D. Because the bleach can reflect the sunlight.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE about the passage?

A. People can use Moser’s lights only at night.

B. Moser’s light gives too poor light.

C. Moser’s bottles use electricity to light the room.

D. Moser’s bottle light is a green idea.

【4】The underlined word “blackouts” in the passage probably means  .

26、   What do you do when you feel unhappy? Do you listen to music? Do you talk to a friend?

Maybe next time you feel sad, you should try going outside if it is sunny. Doctors know that how much sunlight we get can change how we feel. Scientists learned this by interviewing people who live in different parts of the world. In the far north, in Alaska or Finland, for example, the days are very short in the winter. People living in these places say that they often feel unhappy in the winter. In the south, where there are more daylight hours, fewer people say they are unhappy in the winter. The reason is the amount (数量) of sunlight these people get each day. Sunlight changes the chemicals (化学物) in our bodies, and these chemicals can change the way we feel. A couple of hours of strong sunlight or light from a special lamp can help your body make the chemicals that make us feel happy.

Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise. Just like sunlight, regular exercise helps our bodies make certain chemicals, which make us feel happier. In addition, exercise helps people sleep better and lack of sleep often makes people feel unhappy. Exercise also helps you get rid of stress. When you are angry or upset about something, exercise is a good way to get those bad feelings out of you.

【1】Why do people in the far north feel unhappy more often than people in the south?

A.Because they can’t go outside. B.Because they get less sunlight.

C.Because the weather is too cold. D.Because the summer is too short.

【2】How can sunlight change the way you feel?

A.On a sunny day, you can play outside. B.Sunlight makes you less tired.

C.Sunlight increases your body temperature. D.Sunlight helps your body make certain chemicals.

【3】What’s the main point of Paragraph 2?

A.It is better to live in the south. B.Southern people feel much happier.

C.Sunlight can control our feelings. D.Northern people often feel unhappy.

【4】________ will not make you feel happier according to the passage.

A.Eating more B.Exercising more

C.Getting more sleep D.Getting more sunlight

【5】What is the best title for this passage?

A.Why Is Sunlight Good for You? B.How Can Exercise Help You?

C.Ways to Feel Happier D.Functions of Exercising More

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、Underage driving is common in many parts of India.

Parents of 10 teenagers have been sentenced to a day in prison for letting their c【1】 drive in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad.

The police said 35 parents served a one-day jail term last month for the same r【2】. The parents told the BBC they were not aware of a rule which says they would be held responsible for a【3】 a child to drive.

This is part of the city’s f【4】 to reduce underage driving, police said.

“I was unaware of underage driving rule. My 17-year-old son took his bike to go for his tutorial. And we were s【5】 to prison,” said Shakeel Ahmed.

A senior police officer said he hoped spending a day or two in jail would make parents to think t【6】 before letting children use their vehicles.

“In the l【7】 two months, four children died in the city because they were driving vehicles. To s【8】 similar cases, we have charged over 1,000 people for underage driving,” a senior police officer told the BBC.

A【9】 city in southern India, Bangalore, also tried to promote(促进) safe driving on its roads last year.

The city’s police tracked down five teenagers who performed risky stunts on the road. Since they were under 18 years old, the police arrested their parents i【10】.

Road accidents are common in India, often due to poor driving or badly maintained roads and vehicles. Experts blame poorly designed roads. More than 150,000 people were killed on India's roads in 2016, according to figures released by the government.

29、When our daughter Jenny was at 9, the new bicycle she had got earlier that year was stolen. Having a bicycle was a big deal to our _______when they were little. They spent hours and hours, on their bicycles, riding up and down the path. _______was a great way to get the kids out of the house and into the fresh air.

We were very _______that someone had the heart to do this. We've never been able to thank the person _______we guess that it may have been one of our wonderful neighbors.
