24、   There are at least 3,000 miles (about 4,828 km) of waterways in Britain. On these canals (运河) and rivers, there are over 30,000 "houseboats"--boats that people use as homes. Around 10,000 of them are located in London.

Houseboat communities are made up of people who are looking for a slower way of life and who want to be in touch with nature.

Living on the water sounds romantic (浪漫的), but it is also hard work. There are daily things that need to be done, like bringing fuel (燃料) and water on board and dealing with "waste" water from the kitchen sink, shower and toilet. In winter, living on a boat can be very cold and there is always a feeling of being damp(潮湿的). Of course, most boats are quite small inside, so you don't have much space, especially if you are a couple, family or group of friends.

However, the number of people living on Britain's waterways has increased by around 50 percent over the past ten years. This is not only because they like the idea of life on water but also because it is much cheaper to buy or rent (租) a boat than a flat or a house.

There is a great sense of community on the waterways. Houseboat neighbours often become friends for life. This is quite a different story from people who live in flats or houses and may hardly know the people next door at all.

C. They prefer a slower way of life. D. They enjoy living an faster life on water.

【3】What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about?

A. The best season to live on a boat. B. Tips for living on a houseboat.

C. The costs of living on water. D. The difficulties of living on the water.

【4】Why are more people choosing to live on waterways?

A. Because it costs less than living in a house or flat.

B. Because the government is promoting (推进) this idea.

C. Because they are afraid of living in cities.

D. Because it provides a bad sense of community

25、Knowing the best way to study will help you to be a better student. By using your time p【1】, you can do your homework more quickly. Learning to study is not difficult.

The first thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn. It doesn’t m【2】 that you must always like the subject. It does mean, however, that you must be willing to learn what is n【3】 to learn. Try to understand why it is important and how it will help you now and later to do and learn other things. Knowing maths facts will be u【4】 in your whole life. Knowing how to spell English words c【5】 makes any kind of writing easier. Sometimes the s【6】 that you think is going to be uninteresting will become exciting when you begin to work at it and understand it more clearly.

Make good use of class time to listen to e【7】 the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work after class.

Look around your house and find a quiet place with good lighting for study. Get everything r【8】 before you sit down to study. Reviewing the important points that were mentioned by the teachers in class will consolidate (巩固) what you have learned. Previewing the material that the teacher will teach the next day will help you understand it more easily in class and you will remember it l【9】.
