25、Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. They are a big part of our lives. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag?

In the Han Dynasty(汉朝), students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. They were usually two or three layers(层) in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones(砚) and paper in the boxes.

Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or the “hip-pocket”. The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding(成立) of the People’s Republic of China, military rucksacks(军用帆布包) became popular. Many people carried them when they were in school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school.

A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs(时尚的设计) on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks.

Schoolbags are still changing. Can you imagine what future schoolbags will be like?

26、After my husband died from a heart attack, my world changed all in a sudden. I just put all my effort into making a living, caring for the children and just keeping my head above water.

I was lucky to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and in fact I was uncomfortable. Every unusual noise and any late-night phone call would fill me with fear. I felt unbelievably alone.

One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd（牧羊犬）on our doorstep. I became worried. Where did this dog come from? Was it safe to let the children play with a strange dog? Finally I let him sleep in the basement（地下室）until the next day, when we could search around the neighborhood for his owner. That night slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks.

The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. Saturday night he was still with us and I planned to take the children on a picnic without German. But we were surprised to see him jumping onto the hood（引擎盖）and looking directly into my eyes. No way was he going to be left behind. So he stayed again Sunday night. Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn’t come back till the next Friday evening. And again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived.

This repeated every weekend for almost 10 months. Each week, between German’s visits, I grew a little stronger and braver; every weekend I enjoyed his company（陪伴）. Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.

I think of him often. He came when I needed him the most and stayed until I was strong enough to go on alone. I believe German was sent because he was needed, and because no matter how sad and alone we feel, somehow, somewhere, someone knows and cares.

【1】The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means the writer________.

A．managed to continue to live on

B．couldn’t breathe and swim at the same time

C．found it hard to look for a good housekeeper

D．was too heart-broken to take care of her children

【2】Which of the following doesn’t agree with the passage?

A．The children needn’t go to school on the weekend.

B．The housekeeper only came on weekdays.

C．Without the dog, the writer would certainly have broken down.

D．The German’s coming was a great comfort for the writer.

【3】What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?

A．At last the writer came to realize who German’s owner was.

B．Being strong enough, the writer didn’t miss German any more.

C．German could do nothing but come to the writer’s house on weekends.

D．The writer believes that German was sent to her because she was alone.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．A Homeless Dog

B．We Are Not Alone

C．Every Dog Has Its Day

D．German, Our Pet Dog

27、   It is the second-brightest object in our night sky after the moon. It is one of man’s greatest scientific achievements. It’s the International Space Station (ISS) .

Nov 20 marks the station’s 20th birthday. In 1998, the first piece of the ISS was sent into space. Since then, 230 people from 18 countries have visited it.

Five space agencies – those of the United States, Russia, Canada, Europe and Japan – worked together to build it. Weighing about 450 tons, it contains many different parts, including labs and solar panels (太阳能板).

Generally, the ISS holds three to six people at one time. Astronauts living there work on a variety of different science projects. The ISS has hosted over 1,500 such projects, according to NASA.

But the station’s hardware (硬件) is aging. In 2011, Russia announced that the ISS will be retired (退役) in 2020 in order to prevent it from becoming dangerous “space junk”. But the US later said it would use repairs to extend (延长) its service life to 2025, the International Business Times reported.The ISS costs $3-4 billion (21-28 billion yuan) to operate (运行) each year. Many have argued that this money could be better spent improving conditions on Earth.

In February, US President Donald Trump announced plans to end support for the ISS by 2025. The US will use its money for other projects, like next-generation rockets and deep-space missions, The Washington Post reported.

What will happen to the ISS after 2025 is unknown. “There are lots of potential (可能的) uses,” former astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman told NBC News. “Other ISS partners could continue scientific experiments on it. Private companies could turn it into a space hotel.”

【1】What do we know about the International Space Station?

A.It’s the third-brightest object in our sky.

B.It’s a spacecraft where astronauts can live and work

C.Over 450 people have visited the ISS in the past 20 years.

D.It was built to provide solar energy for other spacecraft.

【2】According to the US, after being repaired, how many years will the ISS have served when it retires?

A.5 years. B.20 years C.22 years D.27 years.

【3】What do we know from the story?

A.The ISS is built by the USA and Russia. B.The US will not stop exploring space after 2025

C.The ISS will become dangerous “space junk”. D.The ISS will be used as a hotel for space travelers.

Today the Eiffel   【3】 ( visit) by more tourists than any other historic building in the world, but it wasn’t always so popular. When it was first finished, many people   【4】 (think) it was ugly. One famous writer used to 【5】 ( have) lunch in the Eiffel Tower every day because it was the only place in Paris where he could not see the tower!

About six million people visit the Eiffel Tower every year. Many of them  【6】   (take) one of the five lifts to the top, but some choose    【7】    (climb) up the 1,665 steps.
