In July, China introduced the “double reduction (双减)” policy. One month has passed since the new semester began. How do students feel about this new policy?
“Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “1. We are not required to take many examinations any more, and the exercises are mostly from the textbook.” According to Shen, teachers now teach at a much slower pace (节奏). Students have enough time to process new knowledge. 2. “Our teachers are also giving us more time to find the secret to learning by ourselves.” said Shen. “For example, we went to research earthworms (蚯蚓) in a field during a biology class. 3. This is a better way to learn things than just hitting the books.” Hitting the books means you are studying hard, which used to be a popular way to get good grades.
For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. 4. “通过参加各种俱乐部,我们能学到更多。 I have joined a group called ‘leadership development’(领导力发展) where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond academic (学业的) study,” said Zhang.
They also pointed out that now self-discipline (自律) becomes the secret to learning. “After finishing homework, 5. 一些学生花更多时间放松自己。” But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind your peers (同龄人),” he said.

24、We see humans all around us. But when was the first human seen? Early humans did not leave behind any written records. However, they left behind many paintings on the walls of the caves (洞穴) where they lived. These paintings tell about their life, and we know these early humans walked on four limbs (四肢) like apes (猿). Also, they did not live at one place but moved from place to place in search of food and water.
Without any tools, early humans used stones, bones of animals, and sharp pieces of wood to dig, hunt and cut their food. They also used these to protect themselves from animals. Since stones were used to make tools, this age was called Stone Age.
With time going, tools made of bones and stones were replaced with metal ones which were stronger, sharper, and longer-lasting. Metals were also used for farming and making knives. Copper (铜) was the first metal to be used.
The first fire that early humans noticed was natural fire caused by lightning. With fire, early humans could now light up dark caves. They could keep themselves warm during cold weather and cook meat. Also the fire could drive animals away.
Early humans noticed new trees growing from the seeds that fell to the ground from the fruits. This gave them the idea that they could make their own food by planting seeds, which led to farming. With the beginning of farming, early humans began to settle down. They moved out of the caves and lived on farms and near the fields together, then the first villages came up.
Raising animals was a big event in human history that changed the life of early humans. The wild dogs were probably the first animal to be raised. As time went, goats, sheep, cows, donkeys, and horses were kept, too. This led to herding (畜牧业). Milk, meat and wool came from these animals.
【1】Why did early humans have to move around?
A.To find more caves to live in.
B.To protect themselves from animals.
C.To look for food and water.

c. People started to live on farms.
d. Dogs were raised by people.
A.a-d-c-b
B.a-c-d-b
C.b-a-c-d
D.c-b-a-d
【3】When were early humans able to live in one place?
A.When they could walk on two feet.
B.When they could use metals.
C.When they knew how to farm.
D.When they knew how to use fire.
【4】Which statement is RIGHT according to the passage?
A.The first tools were made of copper.

25、What is “American” food ? To many people , American food means hamburgers, hot dogs , and fried chicken . However , are those the only kinds of food in the U.S.?
Except for Thanksgiving turkey , it’s hard to find a typical “American” food . The United States is a land of immigrants(移民) . When people move to America , they bring their cooking styles with them . So Americans eat food from many different countries. That’s why you can find almost all kinds of ethnic (异国风味的) food in America, such as Italian pizza , Mexican tacos (墨西哥饼) and Chinese fried rolls. But they don’t taste quite like the real taste of the food .
As a large country-style cooking, take a trip to New England and try seafood dishes , and travel through the Midwest for baked food.
Now Americans live at a fast speed and often have some fast food. One of the most common quick American meals is sandwiches . Some Americans also choose to eat unhealthy food, but others prefer “all natural” eating habits. They refuse to eat any food with additives(添加剂).
American culture is a good example of the saying : “You are what you eat.” The different kinds of food show the different kinds of personal taste . Anyway , it’s all American.
【1】Which food is mentioned in the passage ?

26、Most American students have said goodbye to fancy (高档的) fruits these days.In school canteens(小卖部) across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their place.
“People are afraid to spend now,” said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store.“They don’t know what the future will bring.”
During the financial crisis (金融危机), several of the country’s biggest banks have been forced to sell or close.This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods.
Samira Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and more people are sharing meals.In more than two-dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month, Americans talked about their concerns, from worries about small businesses to doubts (怀疑) about simply making ends meet (维持生计).
The crisis began last year.Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily.Last year a lot of people and companies, who borrowed money, have found themselves unable to pay it back.This left the banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money.Since the banks borrowed money between themselves and even across borders (国界), the whole world was in trouble.
This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market(金融市场).But no one is sure whether it will help or not.President George W.Bush has warned it will take some time.
Last week top finance officials from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money trouble.

27、The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size.
Reading people’s character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a person’s ears with colour was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not. Today, too many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.
Ears are all different, and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-size, or small. Look at the lobes (耳垂). Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white colour mean that a person has a nervous (神经质) character.
【1】Reading people’s character from their ears is ________.
A.only for music
B.an old idea
C.very new
D.a good way to talk with others
【2】When one’s ears are red, it means ________.
