24、   The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and communication means(工具).Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.

Man has been polluting the earth. The more people have, the more pollution becomes. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.

Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.

Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind pollution, it is caused heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.

The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must pay attention to the rise in pollution at the same time.

【1】According to the passage, ________, our world is becoming much smaller.

A.because of the rise in pollution

B.thanks to science development

C.because the earth is being polluted day and night

D.because the earth is blowing away by the wind every year

【2】Hundreds of years ago, life was ________ it is today.

A.as early as B.much easier than C.as hard as D.much harder than

【3】In paragraph 1, the underlined word “it” means ________ .

A.rubbish B.noise pollution C.air pollution D.water pollution

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A.Air Pollution B.Today’s life C.Protect the earth D.Pollution by SO2

25、John Smith is an exchange student from New York. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.

Dear David,

How time flies! It’s been 3 months since I came to China. I’m having a great time on my student exchange program here. So far, I’ve completely got used to the life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I’d like to share some with you.

In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art and so on. Among them, the kite interests me most. The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2,000 years ago. Then flying kites was spread into Japan, Korea and Malaysia during the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Kites are regarded as the earliest craft (飞行器). They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane.

Tea culture is important in China. Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5,000 years ago. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. It didn’t appear in England until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world. Lastly, I’d like to tell you something about one of the traditional Chinese festivals —the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历). Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries.

If you’d like to know more about traditional Chinese culture, I will talk about it in the next letter.

Best wishes!

Yours,

John

27、   We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, around by people who are, like us, deeply look at their smartphones or, worse, fighting with the uncomfortable silence.

What’s the problem? It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s challenging, or we think it’s unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big advantages.

Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”

In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to look for an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their waiter reported higher positive (积极的) feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband.” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”

Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a greater sense of belonging (归属感), a relationship with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners.” he says.

【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A.Interest in smartphones. B.Unsuitable behaviours in public places.

C.Absence of communication between strangers. D.Impatience with slow service.

【2】What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?

A.It improves family relationships. B.It raises people’s confidence.

C.It matters as much as a formal talk. D.It makes people feel good.

【3】What is the best title for the text?

A.Conversation Counts B.Advantages of Small Talk

C.Uncomfortable Silence D.Ways of Making Small Talk

Facts you don’t know about animals

People have already known a lot about animals. However, there are still some things about animals that may surprise you. Here are some facts about animals you probably didn’t know.

Cows

Cows do have best friends and feel stressed (焦虑的) when they are separated (分开). Sometimes they even a【1】 humans when they are too nervous and angry. However, scientists also found that cows are very social animals and a cow always makes friends with other cows in the herd (兽群). When a cow is with its friend, its heart rate is reduced compared with when it is a【2】 or with a cow from another herd. 

Penguins

During breeding (繁殖) season, a male penguin will offer a pebble (卵石) to a female penguin as a g【3】. If she takes it, they will become partners. When the female penguin lays an egg, she and her husband may c【4】 it on their feet, because some penguins don’t build nests.

Crocodiles

When crocodiles eat something, they always swallow (吞) their prey. They don’t chew it like other animals. To help with digestion (消化), they swallow stones which grind up the food in their stomachs. But these stones can h【5】 be defecated (排泄掉), so they may stay in their stomachs all their lives.

Elephants

Elephants use plants to get rid of p【6】 or other illness. Scientists once found a pregnant (怀孕的) elephant in Kenya who kept eating a kind of plant for a few days, while this kind of plant was not part of her regular d【7】. Four days later, she could give birth to a baby elephant quietly. The same plant was used by the local women to help with labor (分娩).

Do you find these facts amazing? Maybe you can introduce some of them to your friends and see how surprised they are when they know the facts!
