24、
Young Chinese used to go shopping and go to the movies in their spare time. But now more and more of them get interested in a new way of having fun. They enjoy playing a puzzle-solving game(解谜游戏) known as “an escape room(密室逃脱)”.
In an escape room, a team of players work together to find useful information, work out puzzles and finish tasks to get out of a closed space. In such a game, different modern technologies(技术), like virtual reality(虚拟现实) and 5G, are used to create a fantastic world. Live actors(现场演员) also communicate with players to make the experience more real. With all of these, players will throw themselves into a story and pay their attention to their final goal(目标)—getting out of the room in a race against the clock.
Pu Yixing is an avid player of this game. Every time he arrives in a new city, the young man will play the game there. He sees the game as a new way of socializing(社交).“People spend two hours finding an untold story and trying to run away from a room. It’s a great experience for every player to enjoy,”Pu said.
He Shu, the director of a popular escape room program, says this game needs teamwork, speed, problem-solving skills, creativity and patience(创造力和耐心) of players. “It gives players a strong sense of achievement(成就) when they complete tasks and breakout of a room. It needs their reasoning(推理) skills and good teamwork,” she said.“It’s a good ice-breaking tool to make new friends as well as grow closer to old ones.”
So why is this puzzle-solving game so popular? According to a study, the younger generation(一代) is spending more money on experiences than on products(产品). The escape room game provides them with excellent experiences. The other reason is just a FOMO(fear of missing out) effect. If you see someone go to a very cool place, you will probably go to ask, “Where is it? I want to go there as well.”
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.What the escape room game is like.
B.How to play the escape room game.
C.When players can enjoy the escape room game.
D.Why the young like to play the escape room game.
【2】The underlined word “avid” in Paragraph 3 has the closest meaning to “________”.
A.crazy
B.secret
C.classical
D.lucky
【3】Which of the following is the FOMO effect?
A.He has solved the problem. I think he is really great.
B.All my friends say my new dress is pretty. I’m so happy.
C.The basketball game starts at eight. I mustn’t be late for it.
D.Many of my classmates have mobile phones. I want to have one, too.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.The FOMO effect in life.
B.Ways of making new friends.
C.Modern technologies in today’s games.
D.The young’s new way of having fine.

26、I felt very sad because I was not able to get the ticket to the film Hero last Friday. I learned from the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 a. m. and 4:00 p. m. Since I work from 9:00 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. , the only time I could go to the cinema is during my 45 minutes’ lunchtime. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town and the bus service between my company and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes.
Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come round the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip, so I had to go back. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man said he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I found I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town.
By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold out all the tickets.
【1】It seemed that the writer of the story works as a ____.
A.worker
B.doctor
C.farmer
D.clerk
【2】The writer tried to go to the cinema every day, but really got there ____.
A.five times
B.twice
C.four times
D.three times
【3】We can infer from the underlined sentence that the writer was ____.
A.worried
B.sorry
C.surprised
D.pleased
【4】In the end the writer got ____ ticket(s).
A.one
B.two
C.three
D.no
【5】When the writer reached the cinema, he was delighted because ____.
A.he understood his only hope was to make the trip by car
B.it was expensive, but he felt it would be worth it to see the film
C.he saw that nobody was waiting in line
D.the trip by car only took 10 minutes
27、Some people think music isn’t funny at all. About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusics are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be an amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was an amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify(辨别)this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those who can enjoy music. The difference is complex(复杂 的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ‘No, thanks. I’m an amusic.’” says Margaret.
【1】Amusics are the people who ________.
A.like music
B.have poor listening
C.don’t like music
D.are born unable to enjoy music
【2】Scientists identify amusics by ________.
A.studying different kinds of music
B.going to parties regularly
C.studying amusic people
D.comparing music to colors
【3】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Amusics’ strange behaviors.
B.Musical ability.
C.Some people’s inability to enjoy music.
D.Identification and treatment of amusic.
28、阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或用括号中词语的正确形式填空。请将答案填写在答题卡的相应位置。
We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place 【1】 another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food 【2】 (much) easily, but others move to get away from places that 【3】 (be) too crowded.
When cold weather 【4】 (come), many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁徙)is 【5】 (probable) the migration of fish, which is called "salmon". This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave 【6】 (they) mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are 【7】 (kill) when they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows 【8】 they go.
So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, 【9】 at other times we don't. Maybe 【10】 (live) things just like to travel.
