1、阅读下面的短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。
Studying at a girl’s school, we seldom see boys. But in September, we got a chance to dance and talk with boys. In the morning, all of the girls discussed this activity.
But when the boys came, we stopped immediately. After a welcome speech, the first activity took place: find a boy partner and learn five things about each other. 1. At first, the situation was so embarrassing that nobody moved. Gradually, some people started talking. “Would you like to be my partner?” the boy next to me said. “Sure,” I replied. We stood together and asked each other questions like “what’s your name?” After we took the first step, the rest was easier. 2. 让我惊讶的是,我们有许多共同点。We both like British singer Ed Sheeran. Also, English is our favorite subject. The most exciting part is dancing. The teacher taught boys and girls separately (分别). We all smiled and studied hard. 3. The lesson didn’t last long, as we had to practice with our partners. I felt my heart beating so fast. 4. 老实说,这是我第一次握一个男孩的手。I made many mistakes even with the simplest steps, but my partner never blamed (责怪) me. My palms (手心) got sweaty (出汗的). My partner said, “Don’t be nervous. I will lead you.” His palms were big and warm. I began to calm down and enjoy dancing. 5. At the dance, we built good relationships with the boys and our teachers encouraged us to do so. I really like this type of activity.

24、When you really love a book, or have just bought a new one that you’re dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it. But those hardcover books can be heavy, and new ones aren’t cheap, either. Sometimes, you’d just rather have a portable (轻便的) paperback — but if it’s a new book you’re after, you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form. Why are books released (发行) as hardcovers first?
Not so long ago, hardcover books were the only type of books. Before the appearance of mass (大量的) production, print runs were limited, and books were hardcover and expensive. Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with (相一致) a huge surge in reading as a relaxing activity around World War Ⅱ. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce, which still holds true today.
Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks, there are several reasons why the hardcover has continued to exist. Because of its history, it passes on a bit more legitimacy (正统性) in the book world than the paperback does. “The hardcover is a mark of quality ... it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to,” Philip Jones, editor (主编) at The Bookseller, explains to The Guardian.
But the major reason why books come out as hardcovers is that people buy them, despite their higher cost. The Economist compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD. “Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality,” according to The Economist. And because they’re profitable (盈利的), publishers can gain more from hardcovers, which “will often sell at twice the price of their paperback equivalent but do not cost twice as much to produce, ”Jones explains.
【1】What can we learn about hardcover books from Paragraph 1?
A.They attract real book-lovers.
B.They are heavy but not expensive.
C.They take a long time to come out.
D.They are not preferred by book-lovers.
【2】The underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A.drop
B.success
C.blow
D.increase
【3】The hardcover books are still printed today because they ________.
A.are beautifully edited
B.are worth collecting
C.pass on correct information
D.sell better than paperbacks
【4】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To introduce hardcover books.
B.To present a new social finding.
C.To explain a confusing problem.
D.To encourage people to read books.
25、Many years ago, there lived a very rich man who wanted to do something good for the people of his town. But first he wanted to find out if they deserved (值得) his help. So he put a very large stone in the middle of the main road into the town. Then he stood behind a tree, waiting and watching.
Soon an old man came along with his cow. “Who put this stone in the center of the road?” said that old man, but he did not try to move the stone away. He passed around the stone with some difficulties and continued on his way. Another man came along and did the same thing; Then another came and another. All of them complained about the stone in the center of the road, but nobody tried to move it.

27、We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?
Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (网络) didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system (系统) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.
At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet easier.
