25、阅读理解

What should you take in with you when you take an exam? Pen, pencil, eraser, ruler…, and don’t forget a bottle of water!

According to a study at the British Psychological ( 心理学的) Society Annual Conference held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their grades by up to 10 percent.

Scientists at the University of East London and the University of Westminster, UK, did a study on 447 students. The students were studying for different degrees (学历) at the University of East London. Only 25 percent of them entered the exam hall with something to drink.

Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought drinks with them got better grades by between 2 and 10 percent.

It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a helpful effect on our brains. Drinking water may also cut down on anxiety ( 焦虑), which has a bad effect on exam performances, according to Chris Pawson, PhD, of the University of East London.

“Whatever the explanation, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的)with water during exams,” he said.

So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you.Who knows – it may help you pass the exam!

【1】How much may the students improve their grades most if they bring water into exams?

A. By 2%. B. By 8%.

C. By 10%.     D. By 25%.

【2】 How many students in the study got better grades?

A. About112 students who brought drinks or water into their exams.

B. All the447 students who come from the University of East London.

C. About300 students who took part in the study.

D. About10 percent of the students who studied different subjects.

【3】The underlined phrase “cut down on” probably means _______.

A. increase       B. bring

C. reduce     D. change

【4】 According to the passage, how does water help students in exams?

a. It is good for their brains. b. It makes students smarter.

c. It helps students stay cool.  d. It helps students stay awake.

A. a b  B. a c

C. b c  D. c d

【5】Where can you probably read the article?

A. Fashion magazine.

B. Text book.

C. Travel guide.

D. Newspaper.

26、   Over the last few centuries, there have been many changes in our lives.

To start with, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, more and more people can travel by plane and we can take many other fast and comfortable vehicles, such as cars and high-speed trains.

Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines.

Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people could not buy things like refrigerators, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things.

Lastly, communications have become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch with others by writing letters or sending faxes, but now we have many other ways to choose from, such as making a phone call, sending e-mails or messages and chatting online. Moreover, we can even see the people whom we are making a phone call with through mobile phones, and we can see each other while chatting online. The most surprising thing is that we can make a phone call with the astronauts and see them when they are in space. What a magical thing!

Thanks to the technology, especially the Internet, our lives have become much easier and happier than before. I'm sure they will become more wonderful in the future. Don't you think so?

【1】Why were planes not so popular many years ago?

A.Because they were not big enough. B.Because they were not able to fly long.

C.Because they were very expensive. D.Because they were not fast enough.

【2】In the past, people worked ________.

A.for fewer hours B.much harder C.more easily D.more quickly

【3】What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?

A.Many families have TV sets and washing machines nowadays.

B.There were no bathrooms or running water before.

C.Living conditions have been improved.

D.Many people can take baths at home now.

【4】The writer's last example for great changes in people's lives is about ________.

A.traveling B.living conditions C.working tools D.communication

【5】What's the best title for this passage?

A.Great changes in our lives. B.Good education will change our lives.

C.Fast development of science. D.We live a happy life now.

27、Many Chinese words include directions or positions such as “east”, “west”, “left” and “right”. For example, we say “maidongxi (买东西)” instead of “mainanbei (买南北)”. What is the Chinese history and culture hidden behind these words?

Why do we say “maidongxi”? Some say that in the Tang Dynasty, there were two popular markets in Chang’an. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market and the West Market. As time went by, people started to describe shopping as “maidongxi”.

Another reason is about China’s trading history. Around the 15th century, the Ming Dynasty began trading with the world. Most of its goods came from the east (Japan) and the west (Arabia). Markets sold “things from the east and the west”, which was later called “east and west”.

We say “yijianxiangzuo (意见相左)” when we have different opinions. In ancient Chinese, “left” was about being different, such as in “yijianxiangzuo”. If people don’t accept common beliefs, we still say they are following “pangmenzuodao (旁门左道)”. “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social status (地位). For example, the character “右”, coming from “right”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position.

【1】How many reasons for the use of “maidongxi” are mentioned in the passage?

A．One.

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

【2】People in the Ming Dynasty said “maidongxi” mainly because ________.

A．they bought things in the East and the West Market

B．they learned to say it from the East and the West countries

C．most things in the East and the West Market were better

D．most things came from the East and the West countries

【3】According to the passage, if a person has a “zuoxingzi (左性子)”, he is probably ________.

A．friendly

B．normal

C．strange

D．lazy

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．The Changes of Using “maidongxi” and “zuo”

B．Different Uses of Chinese “maidongxi” and “zuo”

C．Different Meanings of “maidongxi” and “zuo”

D．History and Culture Behind “maidongxi” and “zuo”

28、根据短文内容和所给中文提示，在空白处写出单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。

In Chinese, it is known as the “precious land”．Full of mountains and Karst landforms (地貌), Guizhou has 【1】(逗留；留下) one of China's unspoiled places.

Last month, the【2】 (西南部的) province was chosen as one of the top places to go  by the New York Times.

Another eye­catching Guizhou attraction is its【9】 (丰富多彩的) locals.The fact that people couldn't get to the province for years helped many ethnic groups (少数民族) keep their traditional lifestyles and 【10】 (文化)．For example, Miao people still live in wooden houses on stilts (木桩), while the Dong people have old wind and rain bridges, giving people shelter when it rains.
