25、 My 10-year-old granddaughter was happy the day before yesterday because her mother took her and her friend to a park to celebrate Children’s Day. For a whole day, the two girls played heartily---no homework, no extra-curricular (课外) skills training. The happy life lasted only for one day. Yesterday, everything returned to normal: doing homework till late at night and going over lessons learned at last weekend’s English and “Olympic maths” courses.
Every time I went to my daughter’s house in the evening, I saw her sitting by the small desk in the room doing her homework. On the wall behind the desk are some words she wrote. One sentence reads: “Why is the exercise endless?” Poor girl!
Although teachers have stopped giving after-school homework to primary school children, parents have been forcing their kids to attend different courses-learning English, painting, “Olympic maths” and so on, every Saturday and Sunday.
Are these extra-curricular courses really necessary in children’s education? The answer is certainly “No”. Take the so-called “Olympic maths” for example. These courses are very difficult for the children to understand. Often, they are difficult even for adults.
【1】The writer’s granddaughter celebrated her Children’s Day by ________.
A. playing all day B. doing nothing
C. having a party D. going over lessons
【2】Usually at weekends the girl will ________.
A. stay at home B. play with their classmates
C. do whatever she likes D. go to different kinds of training courses
【3】The writer thinks that her granddaughter ________.
A. lives a happy life B. goes to bed early at weekend
C. has too much homework D. likes to do more exercises
【4】Which is true according to the passage?
A. The “Olympic Maths” is too difficult for kids.
B. The grandfather thinks playing is more important than learning.
C. Teachers often give students useless homework.
D. The parents don’t want their kids to do lots of homework.
26、Working as a vet (兽医), I met a family who taught me an unforgettable lesson. They came to my clinic (诊所) with their dying dog, Coco. I examined Coco and found she was old and had a serious illness. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Coco, and euthanasia (安乐死) would be best for the dog.
On that day, their little boy Eric seemed so calm (镇静的), petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if Eric understood what was going on.
The little boy seemed to accept Coco’s death without any difficulty. We sat together for a while after Coco’s death, explaining that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Eric, who had been listening quietly, said, “I know why.”
He said, “People need a lifetime to learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The 6-year-old continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”
I’d never heard a more soft-hearted explanation as to why animal lives are so short. It has changed the way I live. I see every day as the day that my life could be easily taken away, so I try to live my life to the fullest.
【1】What was the matter with Coco?
A.She had a stomachache.
B.She had a headache.
C.She was old and dying.
D.She was hurt by her friend.
【2】Which of the following would be the best for Coco in the clinic?
A.Some delicious food.
B.Euthanasia.
C.A good friend.
D.An interesting toy.
【3】Why was Eric so calm while petting the dog for the last time?
A.Because he didn’t know what was going on.
B.Because he didn’t know how to face Coco’s death.
C.Because he had another dog.
D.Because he accepted Coco’s death.
【4】How can we understand Eric’s words?

B.He thought dogs already knew how to love others all the time and be nice.
C.He didn’t think people knew how to love dogs.
D.He didn’t think dogs knew how to love people.
【5】According to the passage, we can infer (推断) that ________.
A.the vet didn’t do anything for Coco
B.the vet makes an effort to live a full life
C.the vet has lived a fullest life
D.the vet will keep more dogs
27、When I began to move to Auckland to study the law, my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India, where we lived. She worried about the shortage of jobs and the cultural differences that I would face.
I came to New Zealand in July 2013. I found the people were very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived, I realized the importance of getting a part time job to make a living.
Deciding to do this on my own, I spent a whole day going from door to door for a job. However, I received a little or no reply. This became my daily activity after college for a few weeks.
One afternoon, I walked into a building to ask if there were any job chances. The people there were very surprised, and advised me not to continue my job search in that way. As I was about to leave, a secretary in the building came up to me and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.
Along the way, I realized I had run out of copies of my resume (简历). The man stopped at his friend’s office to make me 15 extra copies. He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking. I handed out my resume and went home. The following day, I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.
It seemed that the world always gives back to you when you need it. And this time, it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing (祝福).
【1】 The writer moved to Auckland to ______.
A. avoid the job shortage
B. face the cultural differences
C. start his life in a new place
D. study the law in college
【2】After staying in New Zealand for a short time, the writer realized ______.
A. he needed to find a job to make a living
B. people there were not very friendly
C. he should always stay confident
D. it was easy to get a new job
【3】What is the story mainly about?
A. How a secretary offered the writer a job.
B. How a secretary turned out to be a real hero.
C. How a stranger helped the writer to get a job.
D. How the writer made a living in a new country.
28、 Hundreds of thousands of people often see their faces on the TV screen. They may be speaking “live” from the scene of an earthquake or interviewing a famous person. They look confident as they present stories or give regular updates on an important news event. They are TV reporters.
To many of us, TV reporters seem to have an e【1】 job. After all, they will be among the first to know about major local and world events and they often get to watch these events happen right before their eyes. They e【2】 have many opportunities to meet well-known people and top leaders.
Actually, reporters not only have to put in a lot of hard work, they must also develop different skills and have the right personality for the job.
TV reporters must tell an interesting story so that people will want to watch and pay attention to it. To get the news to their viewers as quickly as possible, TV reporters have to work long and irregular hours. They often work nights, weekends, and h【3】—when people in most other jobs are taking their days off. Reporters must always be ready to get to work right away. During sudden news event, TV reporters may have to put down some notes and start reporting i【4】. In such a situation, they may not have the time to get back to the TV station and write down their story. Sometimes, a reporter has to c【5】 a news story that he has been working on because another news story may seem more important.
When TV reporters study for their job, they have to learn to write news stories that go with the video the cameraman has shot. Writing for TV is very different from writing an o【6】 report.
In order to attract their viewers, they must learn to dress professionally and smartly. TV reporters must speak clearly and appear relaxed. They must learn to look into the camera and smile. Besides, a TV reporter’s v【7】 is key to his or her success on the job. When training for the job, students learn to speak at the right volume to deliver their news story in such a way as to keep their viewers interested.
29、Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当单词或词语完成短文)
Coconut Island is a beautiful island with of course, coconut palms(椰子树), golden beaches and clear blue sea. I'm sorry, I made a there. Coconut Island was a beautiful island. There are still coconut palms, golden beaches and clear blue sea but not like before. So, what happened?
Well, I have a friend who was here five years ago. Her photo album is full of wonderful pictures of empty beaches. Also she has pictures of small. wooden bungalows(小屋) on the beach. No need to book she said, just and you have the place to yourself - very basic. cheap, quiet and peaceful.
Not anymore! The beach is empty - it's crowded all day! There is music from the cafes. children are shouting and screaming, and the hotels are very expensive. Most of the hotels are full of holidaymakers who booked their trip months ago. I'm lucky to have a small room at the back of one hotel, and it's still expensive.
But perhaps this is ? Not only are the roads better but there is also a new medical clinic. The local kids now speak English 'Mister. mister. you want t-shirt?' and there are many new businesses opening all the time. I see an old woman trying to cross the road from her house to the shops. It's no longer a small, quiet road but a large and very busy one. She looks nervous and waits for someone to walk with her. The children no longer ride bicycles but race around the island on motorbikes. It's not so either - my friend stayed in a bungalow on the beach that had no lock. Now the hotel room says it's a good idea to put things in the safe box.

【1】A. decision B. noise C. living D. mistake
