24、The world’s largest reef (礁), the Great Barrier Reef, has lost more than half of its coral (珊瑚) cover in the past 30 years because of global (全球) warming. The beauty of the Australian coast has been left lifeless.
Scientists have been trying to find ways to save it, and now they may have found a special helping hand---volcanoes(火山).
During a volcano eruption(火山喷发),wherever hot lava(岩浆) goes, villages and plants are burned right down to the ground. How could it possible save life on Earth?
When the lava goes into the ocean, it quickly cools down and becomes light rocks that can float in the water. For example, in 2006, shortly after the eruption of a volcano near Tanga, a southwest Pacific island, scientists found many large rocks floating on the ocean. These rocks traveled a long way from the island to Australia over the next eight months.
But they didn’t just float during this time—they acted like little lifeboat. Scientists found that the rocks “picked up” more than 80 kinds of corals, crabs and other life animals on their way, before arriving at the Great Barrier Reef.
Once near the reef, these animal “passengers” can easily jump onto the rocks and go to their new home. “It’s like a boat of people landing on an island,” Judith Winston, a biologist at the Virginia Museum of Natural History, US, told Scientific American.
Since volcanoes have been on Earth for all of history, scientists say these “Lifeboats” might have even helped form the Great Barrier Reef in the first place.
【1】What problem does the Great Barrier Reef face?
A. There is less and less coral cover because of global warming.
B. It lies in an area with volcanoes happening now and then.
C. There are no living things on the Great Barrier Reef
D. The Great Barrier Reef is getting smaller and smaller.
【2】Which is the right order of the following event, according to the passage?
(1) Lots of little animals climb onto the rocks.
(2) Many huge light rocks are floating on the ocean.
(3) Lava goes into the ocean after the eruption of a volcano.
(4) Animals move to their new home through the rocks.
A. (4) -- (3) -- (1)-- (2) B. (2)-- (1)-- (4)-- (3)
C. (3 )-- (1)-- (2)-- (4) D. (3)-- (2)-- (1)-- (4)
【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The beauty of the Great Barrier Reef is going away.
B. Volcanoes can help the Great Barrier Reef become lively again.
C. Global warming has a bad influence on the Great Barrier Reef.
D. Save volcanoes, save the Great Barrier Reef
25、 Twenty years ago,I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a. m. . When I arrived to collect,I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked,“Just a minute,”answered a weak,elderly voice. After a long pause(停顿),the door opened. A small woman over eighty stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness.
“It's nothing ,” I told her . “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother
treated.”
“Oh,you're such a good man.”She said. When we got into the taxi,she gave me an address,and then asked,“Could you drive through downtown ?”
“It's not the shortest way,”I answered quickly.
“ Oh , I'm in no hurry , ” she said. “ I'm on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I can't live very long .”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).
For the next two hours,we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked,the neighborhood where she had lived,and the furniture shop that had once been,a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness,saying nothing.
At dawn,she suddenly said,“I'm tired. Let's go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked.
“ Nothing .” I said.
“You have to make a living,”she answered.“Oh,there are other passengers,”I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug(拥抱). She held onto tightly. Our hug

26、A serious earthquake can be a terrible experience,and it is easy to forget safety measures(措施) in disorder(混乱). Fortunately,most earthquake safety measures are common sense,but if you forget everything else,remember the following instructions:drop,cover,and hold on.Also,most of earthquake deaths happen after the earthquake,so remember that the danger does not end when the shaking does!
If you stay indoors during an earthquake,move away from unsupported areas and windows.Try to get under a doorway or another area of the building which is held up by strong beams(梁).Stay under a table or desk only if it is very strong.Do not rush to lifts,because it is far safer to stay where you are.Cover your head with your arms around it and curl (蜷缩) into a ball,and wait for the shaking to stop.
If you stay outdoors during an earthquake,move to an area which is as open as possible.Don’t move to buildings,electric poles and other objects which may fall during an earthquake and injure you.Protect your head and stay low to the ground till the shaking ends and it is safe to move.
After an earthquake,many buildings are less strong,although they appear safe.If you stay indoors,move people from the building quickly and help disabled or injured people.Once outdoors,move well away from the building so that if it falls down,you will not be injured.Wait till public safety officials announce that it is safe to stay indoors.

27、 Big data (大数据) is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites, companies and governments. One set of data can have people’s names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.
Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.
Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict (预测) if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he, she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.
How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.

28、 Hello, everyone! I’m George. I’m glad to be here this morning. Have you ever met a stranger who becomes one of your real friends? Now I’d like to 【1】 (分享)the following experience with you.
【2】 (几个、数个) days ago, the woman I met on my way home from work is a perfect example. I left my 【3】 (办公室)late and forgot that my car needed gas. I had been driving on the road for about 【4】 (四十)minutes when the car started making strange noise. Then it 【5】 (突然) stopped. It was out of gas, and I was quite 【6】 (紧张的)because it was getting dark. After a few minutes,a young couple stopped and offered to help me. They went to a gas station, 【7】 (买)a big can of gas,and put the gas in my car. The woman told me that when she saw me looking so alone and 【8】 (无望的), she told husband to stop. She wanted to help me because she hoped that someone would stop and help her in a 【9】 (相似的)situation. I’m so thankful for their 【10】 (善意).
A stranger is someone you have never met before, but sometimes great meaning can truly be brought to our life by him or her.
29、Around the corner sat an old vagrant (流浪汉), Bill, begging for money every day. One day, Sarah came up and gave him $20, a large amount of money for Bill. He was so puzzled that he asked her ______ she gave him so much money.
Sarah replied with a ______, “I believe what goes around, comes around.” With these words, she left happily ______ knowing something might happen to her. After she left, Bill found a ______ in his cup. Immediately he realized it should be Sarah’s.
