24、People forget to take out the rubbish sometimes. It happens. But when the rubbish is finally taken out the next day, there are always smells left in the house. What should you do to make them go away?

Many people in this situation will reach for an air freshener (空气清新剂). Air fresheners are an easy and quick way to make the room smell better. An air freshener fights bad smells in two basic ways.

The first way is by hiding the smell. This kind of air freshener covers up the bad smell with a stronger smell. However, it does not make the bad smell go away. Instead, it covers it up with something else.

The other kind of air freshener fights bad smells in the air itself. The air freshener uses chemicals to “clean” the air. Instead of simply covering up the bad smell, the air freshener works to eliminate the bad smell.

If you are worried about using chemicals in your house, you may not want to use an air freshener at all. In this case, your best choice may be to open up the windows or turn on a fan—and, of course, to remember to take out the rubbish more often!

【1】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The rubbish.

B．The house.

C．The air freshener.

D．The bad smell.

【2】The underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 4 probably means _________.

A．cover up

B．turn up

C．grow up

D．clear up

【3】How is the text organized?(①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2…)

A．①②/③④/⑤

B．①/②/③④⑤

C．①②/③/④⑤

D．①/②③/④⑤

【4】In which part of a newspaper can we find the passage?

A．Food & drinks.

B．History & society.

C．Information technology.

D．Living environment.

25、I wonder whether there is any girl or boy who does not like to see a rainbow in the sky. It is so beautiful.

There is a story, saying that whenever you see a rainbow you should run at once to the place where it touches the ground, and there you would find a pot of gold. Of course it is not true. You could not find the pot of gold or its end. No matter how far you run, it always seems far away.

A rainbow is not a thing which we can feel with our hands as we can feel a flower. It is only the influence of light shining on raindrops. The raindrops catch the sunlight and break it up into all the wonderful colours which we see. It is called a rainbow perhaps because it is made up of raindrops and looks like a bow(弓).

That is why we can never see a rainbow in a clear sky. We see a rainbow only when there is rain in the air and the sun is shining brightly through the clouds.

Every rainbow has many colours in the same order. The first of the top colour is always red, next comes orange, then green, and last of all, blue. A rainbow is indeed one of the wonders of nature.

A．they are beautiful

B．they are like bows

C．they can find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow

D．they are good to crops

【2】We cannot feel ________ with our hands

B．a flower

C．a rainbow

D．a raindrop

【3】The first colour of a rainbow is always ________.

A．red

B．yellow

C．blue

D．green

【4】We can see a rainbow ________.

A．when it is raining heavily

B．when it is snowing

C．when it is cloudy

D．when it becomes fine shortly after raining .

【5】Which of the sentence is not true ?

A．If you run to the place where the rainbow appears ,you will not find a pot of gold .

B．The rainbow looks like a bow .

C．There are seven colours in a rainbow ,the last colour is green.

D．A rainbow is one of the wonders of nature.

26、It’s important to learn things about protecting environment. Here’s a 4Rs rule for us.

·Reduce

If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely (明智的). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and then throws it away, soon we would not have any trees left. Some other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with waste in big cities, so it’s necessary to reduce waste.

·Reuse

You should always think of reusing the usable (可用的) things before throwing them away. Give your clothes or things you don’t use to the poor. In a family, you may pass such clothes on to your younger brothers or sisters.

·Recycle

Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money, for example, cola cans are sent to a factory, where they’re smashed flat（压平）and smelted (熔化), and the metal things are made into new cola cans.

·Repair

If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it’s better for you to sell the old ones or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.
