24、 The final exams are the most important assessment (评估) throughout the whole term in Canada. It usually takes up 20 to 30 percent of one’s marks. But doing bad on the finals doesn’t mean that one can’t have an acceptable final score, as it includes other marks as well, such as unit tests, projects and presentations.
Different from those in China, exams in Canada don’t last all day. Students just come to school when they have exams. For example, if you have an exam on Monday morning and one on Tuesday morning, you can have a break between the different exams to have time to relax or study.
For most science subjects, there will be at least one week for students to review their studies---teachers often finish the lessons one week before the exams. But when it comes to liberal arts (人文科学) subjects, things are a bit different. For every liberal arts class, students need to produce a project before the finals. The projects usually last one or two weeks and require students to mix up all the knowledge they’ve learned during the term. When I was in Grade 10, the project for my English was to find the similarities between the novels we’d studied that year and present them in a visually(视觉的) creative way, such as by making a poster. These projects usually take up 5 to 10 percent of a student’s final marks.
Some think that the projects are nothing but a distraction (分心的事) that wastes your time before finals, but I believe they’re a great way to review everything and add some fun to our busy lives.
【1】The underlined phrases “take up” in Paragraph 1 may mean “________” in Chinese.
A.带走 B.占据 C.取消 D.取下
【2】According to the passage, what would be a good work for the project for the English class in Paragraph3?
A.A poster. B.A video. C.A presentation with pictures. D.Both A B and C.
【3】The writer used an example of a project for the 10-grade English class to show us ______.
A.in Canada the students have at least 2 weeks to review the lessons
B.students need to use all the knowledge they have learned to finish a project
C.for science subjects students don’t have any exams
D.the projects waste the students’ time before the finals
【4】What is the writer’s attitude(态度) towards the projects for liberal arts subjects before the finals?
A.Doubtful (怀疑的). B.Unimportant. C.Helpless. D.Useful and fun.
【5】Which of the following is TRUE about the finals in Canada according to the passage?
A.The final exams usually take up 5% to 10% of a student’s marks.
B.Students in Canada usually have a full day’s exams.
C.The projects usually take up 10% to 15% of a student’s marks.
D.The students’ final score includes final exams, unit tests, projects and presentations.

26、When I was young, my father used to grow carnations — a kind of flower that was red, pink or white. He took care of them with much love and devotion. Every day he came home from work, he would enjoy watching them. And he used to tell us, “No one should touch my flowers.”
One day, my younger sister Clemence, who loved dad very much, wanted to help him. So she cut the carnation from their stems (枝干) one by one and arranged (排列) them on the ground. She believed that dad would be very happy to see them that way.
When mom and I realized what my sister had done, we became completely silent. However, my sister didn’t know why no one showed her any appreciation (感谢). When dad arrived, he went as usual straight to watch the flowers. Seeing his flowers lying on the ground like dead animals, he was shocked at first. He looked towards the street to see if it was any of the neighbors’ children who could have done it. Then he looked at mom in silence. Finally mom, who always taught us to tell the truth no matter what, said, “No bad neighbors did this great job, only your lovely daughter Clemence.”
Dad’s face changed into a smile and then he said, “Do I have better flower than my lovely daughter?” My younger sister smiled and hugged (拥抱) dad strongly.
