23、他的妈妈每天打扫房间要花费一个小时。
It ______his mother _______ to clean the room every day.
24、I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always a crazy reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old. It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source (来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read, using different voices, as if I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it! It was a special time to spend with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.
Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation (代) to generation.
As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. ①I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to buy a book. ②I see libraries as a safe haven (避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy (盗版行为). ③We can encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. ④Go to them and talk about them when you can.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Pleasure from working in the library.
B.Joy of reading passed on in the family.
C.Wonderment from acting out the stories.
D.A closer relationship developed with the readers.
【2】The following sentence would best be placed at _________.
I think all writers should support libraries in an important way when they can.
A.①
B.②
C.③
D.④
【3】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Reading: A Source of Knowledge
B.My Idea about Writing
C.Library: A Haven for the Young
D.My Love of the Library
25、Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce the chance of becoming short-sighted(近视的), a research shows. It challenges the belief(信念) that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.
The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.
Both groups spend a similar amount(数量) of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors — 90 minutes less than the Australian children.
Professor Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors
Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted. So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.
【1】What causes short-sightedness according to the passage?
A. Watching TV.
B. Playing computer games.
C. Reading in weak light.
D. Spending little time outdoors.
【2】How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according to the research?
A. 120 minutes. B. 90 minutes.
C. 60 minutes. D. 30 minutes.
【3】What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A. What the special chemical in natural light is.
B. Why natural daylight has a special chemical.
C. Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted.
D. Why daylight is hundreds of times brighter than indoor light.
【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.
B. Singaporean children have more knowledge of protecting their eyesight.
C. If people spend less time outdoors they will certainly become short-sighted.
D. Playing outside 2 or 3 hours a day can reduce the risk of getting short-sighted.
26、Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other.
An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity(自动性)”.
A child learns to read by sounding the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice , he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new that is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time. Without expression or meaning , you need more practice.
【1】“Reading is the key to school success” means that reading ________.
A.helps school develop faster
B.can improve students’ learning results
C.helps students go to a key school

【2】Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they ________.
A.know how to read the words
B.do not have to think while reading

D.pay attention to the meaning of the text
【3】Rossman tells that any child who ________ will possibly be an automatic reader .
A.seldom turns off TV
B.reads books by the word quickly
C.spends an hour reading every day
D.gets the same grades as others in exams
【4】The underlined word “stumbles” in the passage means “ ________” in Chinese.
A.结结巴巴地读
B.全神贯注地读
C.心不在焉地读
D.声情并茂地读
【5】The best title for the passage is “________”.

27、Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.
Born in 1881to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money. At the same time, his father became seriously ill. From that time on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.
By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902, he went to study in Japan. There, he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books, although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.
After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success. This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q(1921), made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.
Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China’s future. In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He was forced to write his articles using false names.
Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun’s importance and influence have grown. Today, many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.
【1】Which of the following greatly influenced Lu Xun’s writing according to the passage?
A.The people he met in Japan.

C.Working as a teacher in Beijing.
D.His father’s being put into prison.
