24、When you do your homework, you may often meet some problems. How do you solve them? Linda, a middle school student, would take out her smartphone, open a special app(应用)and search the problem. Answers soon appear on the screen.

Nowadays, many students do homework with the help of the special apps like Linda. “It’s convenient. You don’ t have to go out or wait for a tutor(家庭教师) at home.” Linda said. “You also learn by seeing how others work them out. It’s very helpful and improves students’ abilities” said John, another student. He said it was especially true for new types of homework.

John’s Chinese teacher often asks students to give speeches on great writers. When it comes to John’s turn, he usually searches online, picks out certain stories and makes PPTs. “I’ve become skilled at finding information online and using Microsoft Office,” John said.

However, many people think this trend (趋势)also brings up problems. Some students just copy the answers online without thinking. They become lazy.

Head teacher Mr. Wang in Linda and John’s school thinks that knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control. “No matter how difficult the problem is, think about it by yourself first. Remember not to depend on the Internet too much.” the teacher said. “Be sure to understand the reasons behind the answers, or you won’t make progress. If you don’t have confidence in your self-control, ask your parents for help.”

25、A linguist, who studies languages, is always listening, never off-duty. I invited a group of friends to my house, telling them that I was going to record their speech. I said I was interested in their regional accents (地方口音), and it would take only a few minutes to record it. Afterwards, one evening, three people came to my house and were shown into my sitting-room. In front of each chair there was a microphone (麦克风) at head height, connected to a recorder in the middle of the floor. They sat down rather nervously. I explained that all I wanted was for them to count from one to twenty, then we could relax and have a drink.

I turned on the recorder and they each in turn counted from one to twenty in their best accents. When it was over, I turned the recorder off and brought round the drinks. The rest of the evening was spent in complete relaxation. I talked and joked with them freely and left them  for a telephone call which lasted some time.

You know, of course, the microphones were not connected to the recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one in the bedroom. My friends, having seen the recorder before them turned off, paid no more attention to the microphones a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality (质量). It meant that I was able to get a piece of natural talk.

I should add, perhaps, that I did tell my friends what had happened to them after the recording was over, and asked them whether it should be destroyed. None of them wanted to – but for some years after that, it always seemed that when it came to buying drinks, I paid for them. Linguistic research can be a very expensive business.

C.people who speak languages.

D.people who develop languages.

【2】The recording which the writer was able to make was   .

A. natural.   B. beautiful

C. unclear.   D. nervous.

【3】When the writer told his friends what he had done, they   .

A. wanted him to destroy records

B. didn't seem to mind much

C.seemed to have no response (反应)

D. made him buy them more drinks

26、In ancient China, bell and drum towers used to play the role of clocks in telling people the time. The bell sounded at dawn (黎明) and drum at dusk (黄昏). Today, bell and drum towers remain in some time-honored cities like Beijing and Xi’an. The bell and drum towers in Xi’an are symbols of the city’s rich past and are among the largest and best-preserved (保存最完好的) of their kind in China.

The Bell Tower sits at the very center of Xi’an. It is 36 meters high. It was built in 1384 and moved to its current (现在的) location in 1582. Four busy roads cross just under the tower. Visitors need to use an underground walkway to reach the tower. Inside the tower, there is a small museum that houses a huge bell as well as some handwritten records on the history of the tower.

The Drum Tower is about 200 meters to the northwest of the Bell Tower. It is a small building. It lies next to a busy street where many restaurants and shops are located. It was built 4 years earlier than the Bell Tower. It is also one of the largest drum towers in China, with a height of 34 meters.

There is a square sitting between the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower. It is the best place to watch the two towers. According to the tourists, the two towers are more impressive in the evening as the lights add beauty to them. Don’t miss them when you take a trip to Xi’an!
