24、 No one else knew about the extra (额外的) club in Zach Nash's golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to win in a junior tournament (锦标赛) this summer in Wisconsin, US.
The 14-year-old accepted his medal, and celebrated with grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. "Count your clubs," he told the teenager.
Fifteen—one more than allowed. Zach's eyes filled with tears.
If Zach had just won a basketball or a soccer game and someone had discovered an offence (违反) after the win, it would not have mattered.
Bending the rules has become acceptable, if not encouraged, in many sports. It is nothing unusual for soccer players to make a turtle dive (假摔) in the hope of breaking rules.
Golf is different. In a win at all costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard.
Golf isn't a game where referees (裁判) watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call punishments on themselves.
Players feel the weight of history. Golf began at least the 15th century, but it became popular as a pastime for the wealthy who seemed to always have strict rules of behavior, even when it came to shooting at each other in rights.
"It was a sport for gentlemen, not laborers, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They cared about doing the right thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.
Honesty became a symbol of honor. When one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open. He replied, "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank."
So even the error had no effect on Zach's final score—he never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. "But this was golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do," he said.
Then came another tournament. Before teeing off, Zach counted his clubs four times.
【1】Zach Nash returned the medal he won in the junior tournament because________.
A.he was caught cheating by a player
B.he decided to follow the rules of golf
C.he used another player's club by mistake
D.he made a mistake counting his final score
【2】Which of the following statements about golf is TRUE according to the passage?
A.In golf, honor comes before win.
B.Early golf players didn't care about the rules.
C.Golf players usually do whatever it takes to win.
D.Golf referees watch each shot and call punishments.
【3】The underlined phrase "teeing off" in the last paragraph probably means "____ ".
A.getting started B.getting caught
C.leaving D.winning
【4】What is probably the best title of the passage?
A.Zach's medal. B.The history of golf.
C.Honesty counts in golf. D.Golf is rich men's game.
25、There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did man tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs (感觉器官).
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.
【1】The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ___________.
A. a red box is heavier than a white one
B. a color has weight in one’s mind
C. white paper is lighter than red paper
D. you can know the weight of a color by holding it
【2】Why did the scientist say colors have smell?
A. Because people can sense the light from colors.
B. Because we can smell colors with our nose.
C. Because every color has its own sweet smell.
D. Because every color can give off light of the same length.
【3】If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will _________.
A. rise B. fall
C. stay the same D. change now and then
【4】This passage is probably a ___________.
A. book review(评论) B. fiction novel
C. fairy tale D. science report
26、 Cats don’t seem very friendly. Unlike dogs, they don’t often play with people. They stay alone for hours. However, a new study shows that cats are just as strongly bonded(建立联系的) to us as dogs.
Researchers at Oregon State University, US, studied cats’ relationships with their owners. They invited the owners of 117 cats to take a test that is often used to test the bonds dogs have with their caretakers.
In the six-minute test, cat owners walked into an unfamiliar room with their pets. After two minutes, the owners left the room, leaving the cats alone. This made the cats feel stressed out(焦虑不安的).
When the owners returned two minutes later, the researchers looked to see what the cats would do. About two-thirds of the cats came to greet their owners when they returned. The cats then went back to looking around the room, but still returned to their owners now and then.
These cats, the researchers said, saw their owners as a source(来源) of security in an unfamiliar place. The findings are similar to those found in a study of dogs. Fifty-eight percent of dogs acted just like the cats.
“This idea that cats like to stay alone or don’t really care about people isn’t holding up,” said KristynVitale, a scientist who led the study.
【1】People usually think that cats ________.
A.are friendly toward people
B.like to be alone
C.are strongly bond to dogs
D.cannot remember their owners
【2】Researchers did the test to learn about ________.
A.the difference between cats and dogs
B.the reasons why cats don’t care about people
C.the relationship between cats and their owners
D.the ways in which cat owners take care of their pets
【3】What is true according to the story?
A.Like dogs, cats have strong relationships with their owners.
B.Cats are not afraid in unfamiliar places.
C.Dogs are more loved by their owners than cats are.
D.Cats don’t need much security as dogs.
27、 Students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressure from their parents. Most students are always being told to study harder by their parents so that they can have a wonderful life. Though this may be a good idea for those very clever students, it can have terrible results for many students because they have difficulties in their studies.
As it is reported, some students killed themselves. Some join the groups of troublemakers(闹事者). Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and it makes their parents lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by everyone else, they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer, so they become dropouts(辍学生).
Although most parents are worried about their children, they do not help them. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and it is the teachers’ work to help their children . To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools which open in the evening and on weekends. Those schools only help students to pass exams. Almost three quarters of middle school students have been to such kind of schools.

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words. (在短文的空格内填入恰当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给)
With such a large rise on mobile phone users around the world over the last 10 years, many people are w【1】 about possible health problems. For some time, scientists have been thinking that mobile phones could lead to cancer. But so far, there is no strong evidence for this.
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health and the UK’S Health Protection Agency both released some studies last year. They said that there was no l【2】 found between mobile phone radiation(辐射) and cancer.
However, many mobile phone users often complain about headaches, dizziness and even feeling sick. Last October, a court case in Italy said that heavy mobile usage had c【3】 brain cancer in one man. He had used a mobile phone up to six hours a day for 12 years.
But the biggest problem with research now is that it is too early conclusions. Mobile phones have only been w【4】 used since the 1990s, and cancers can take many years to develop.
A【5】 we still don’t know whether using mobile phones can lead to cancer, we should try to use our phones safely. Here are some tips:
※ Use a headset or speaker. Headsets give out much less radiation than phones. Some wireless headsets give out low-level radiation. However, you should take off your headset when you’re not talking to anyone. Using a phone with a speaker will also make it s【6】 .
※Listen more, talk less. Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text, buy not when you’re listening or getting messages.
※ Hold more, talk less. Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text, but not when you’re listening or getting messages.
※Choose texting over talking. Phones give out less radiation when sending texts than when making calls. Texting also keeps radiation away from your head.
29、 Long ago, people did not need money.They on wild animals, fruits and other plants.
As time passed, people learned to raise animals and crops. Sometimes, families more than they needed, so they started to with other families. Later, people began to use money as a means of exchange. However, it was not the kind of money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt, large stones and so on.
During the 600s B.C, people began using coins money. They soon found that coins were easier to carry than goods and lasted a long time. , countries began to make their own coins.
The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably as as the 11th century. The Italian Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s. However, European countries didn’t start using paper money 1600s.
