24、Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future. They say that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings, classes or teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day，but if the world has no schools, I can't imagine how our society will be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school that is linked(链接) to libraries, museums, science centres, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create(创造) learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local(本地的) stations could develop programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up Web sites to show new technology so students could see it on the Internet.

Is this a dream? No. There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can go on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will all learn something from the Internet.

【1】Who thinks that students don't have to learn at school?

A. Everyone.     B. The writer.

C. Some people.   D. The teachers.

【2】What does “a new kind of school” mean in the passage?

A. A school with many new computers.

B. A school with many new students.

C. A school with many new teachers.

D. A school which is linked to the Internet.

【3】Older people ________.

A. never go on the Internet

B. go on the Internet more often than younger ones

C. use the Internet as much as younger ones

D. go on the Internet less often than younger ones

【4】What the writer thinks is that ______.

A. schools are still necessary

B. more schools should be built

C. there should be fewer schools

D. more computers are needed in schools

【5】Which of the following sentences is NOT true?

A. Technology will change our way of learning.

B. If you are a student, you can set up Web sites to show new technology.

C. The schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computers.

D. On the Internet, you can visit another city's library as easily as the people there.

25、One night, four naughty（顽皮的）boy students stayed out of school having a late party at a night club and having a great time. They were parting so happily that they forgot they were going to take an exam the next day.

The next morning, they got up too late to take their exam. In order not to be punished, they thought of a plan which they believed was perfect. They made their clothes dirty and went to the teacher’s office.

“Mr. Johnson, we went to a friend’s house last night in another town. On the way back, our car got a flat tire（爆胎）, so we pushed the car all the way back to school. That’s why we didn’t make it for the exam.”

The teacher listened to their story, and told them in a kind voice, “It doesn’t matter. I am going to give you another chance to take the test three days later.” The four students thanked him and left happily.

The test day arrived in the end. The teacher asked them, “I am going to put each one of you in a different room for the best. Are you OK with that?”

“OK.” the students were fine with that because they had all studied hard. Then they got the test paper. It had only two questions.

26、—Eucalyptus (桉树) leaves are full of water. So koalas don’t often drink. The word “koala” means “no drink” in a local Australian language.

—Old koalas usually die of hunger. That’s because when koalas get old, they lose their teeth. They can’t chew and digest leaves anymore.

—Thanks to their sharp claws, koalas don’t fall out of trees when they are asleep.

Ho-hum... Sorry kids, I'm sleepy. I am one of the longest-sleeping animals in the world. How many hours do you sleep every day? Maybe 10 hours? I need twice’ as long! Many people think I’m lazy. But it’s not true! I sleep so much because I have a strange diet.

As you can see, I only eat eucalyptus leaves. I can eat more than 0. 5 kg of these leaves each day. But there is one huge problem: Eucalyptus leaves are not tasty and they are low in calories. I get very little energy from them. Think about eating salad all day. You would look as sleepy as I do!

What’s more, the leaves are highly toxic! If other animals eat them, they will die. Luckily I have a strong digestive system. It works very hard to break down the toxins. So tiring! To save energy, I sleep nearly all day long.

Now you know why I spend so much time in my tree. Don’t call me lazy any more.

【1】What does the underlined word “toxic” mean in the passage?

A．Fresh.

B．Healthy.

C．Poisonous.

D．Delicious.

【2】Why do Kolas sleep for such a long time?

A．Because they can’t move.

B．Because they are lazy animals.

C．Because they have a strange diet.

D．Because they can’t find food to eat.

【3】What can we learn about koalas from the passage?

A．Koalas like eating and drinking.

B．Old koalas can digest Eucalyptus leaves well.

C．Koalas sometimes fall from trees when they sleep.

D．Koalas have a strong digestive system to digest toxins leaves.

【4】What is the purpose of writing the passage?

A．To ask us to protect koalas.

B．To tell us that Koalas are lazy.

C．To show some fun facts about koalas.

D．To warn us not to eat Eucalyptus leaves.

27、   This is interesting to me because I've noticed the change in Chinese products over time in Pakistan. It’s true that during the 1990s, Chinese products were thought of as something of low quality. They were bought by the poor and not expected to last long. I remember they were cheap toys, clothes, etc.

Last month, I was in the market to buy some sheep. While talking with the sheep keeper, I noticed something like a radio around his neck. I asked him what it was. He showed it to me and I was surprised to see that it was a cool music player. There was also a cell casing on the back. I asked him where he got this and why. His reply was:

"I get bored when I take my sheep out to the mountains for feeding. So I got this from the local shop that sells Chinese products. I can keep it charged using the sun only and have a few cheap cells to keep it going when needed. I can listen to the radio, some songs on the player. This helps me pass the time when I have to feed my sheep."

But why this player? Why not some others?

"It's made in China and cheap enough for me to afford. Another reason is that I couldn't find anything else that met my needs like this one."

It's clear that "made in China" really doesn't mean what it used to.
