24、When it comes to Germany, music lovers might immediately think of Bach’s or Beethoven’s classical works, and soccer fans would call the Bundesliga one of their must-see events.

But how much do Germans know about China and Chinese culture? Three learners at the China Cultural Centre in Berlin recently shared with us their stories of learning Chinese and Chinese culture.

Andreas Pietsch is a history professor at the University of Münster. While learning Chinese at the centre, Pietsch, a music lover, was gradually drawn to traditional Chinese instruments. Two years ago, he began to learn to play guzheng. Having travelled to China several times, Pietsch said he planned to visit all the six sites on the Renminbi notes. So far he has visited five, except the Potala Palace in Tibet.

“My interest in Chinese started during my second trip to China,” said Alexander Straβmeir, president of State Office for Refugee Affairs. “Chinese has the most beautiful characters in the world. I chose to practise Chinese calligraphy because it shows the beauty of Chinese culture.” Though he finds the tonal system in Chinese really challenging, Straßmeir says he enjoys learning the language as it is like a mirror in which he could see a different way of thinking behind the language itself.

Keno Budde is an undergraduate student at the Free University of Berlin. Asked why he’s learning Chinese, Budde answered, “I made the decision after l saw clearly what would happen in the future.” Budde is impressed with some of the latest technologies coming from China, such as the high-speed trains, mobile payment and Huawei’s leading position in the 5G race. “Learning a language gives you the insight into a country’s culture. Learning Chinese can give us more chances in the future as China will go on growing,” Budde explained.

【1】What is probably the Bundesliga in Paragraph 1?

A．Football news.

B．A group of football fans.

C．A football club.

D．A football competition.

【2】What do we know about Alexander StraBmeir?

A．He has never visited China before..

B．Learning Chinese is not difficult for him.

C．He is planning to visit the Potala Palace in Tibet.

D．Learning Chinese gives him a new way of thinking.

【3】Which of the following is Keno Budde’s opinion?

A．Travelling helps to learn about a country’s culture.

B．Learning Chinese culture is interesting but difficult.

C．Learning Chinese is important because of China’s growth.

D．Germans are supposed to develop their own high technologies.

【4】In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage?

A．History.

B．Culture.

C．Science.

D．Sports.

25、   Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called “Internet of things” is developing.

The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO(首席执行官) BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether it's a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸尘器).

So, how do household(家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold. 

An Internet-connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize(识别) people’s faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too.

But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全) systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example, many early connected-home devices(装置) don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014.

So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.

【1】The Samsung CEO's speech is mentioned to prove that _____.

A. the Internet of things will appear in our daily life sooner

B. Samsung has produced the Internet of things recently

C. Samsung products have been part of the Internet of things

D. he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things

【2】We can infer(推断)from paragraphs 3 and 4 that ______.

A. the chair can know whether the user feels cold or not

B. a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes in

C. an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the house

D. an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the user's smartphone

【3】According to the passage, it is mentioned that _____.

① the temperature inside is neither too high nor too low

②your fridge provides the drinks for you

③ the chair warms up if you feel cold

④your favourite music starts playing

⑤your washing machine starts working

A. ①②⑤ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①④⑤

26、My grandfather is an eighty-year-old man. He changed, and he often says that life used to be better.

Families aren’t families the way they used to be. A lot of families have broke down. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone’s working. No one has time to look after children at home.

In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide in our heads. Kids don’t use their heads any more；instead, they use calculators(计算器).

Most families have computers now. In the past we didn’t have computers.We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now nobody eats home-cooked food any more.

27、   Some people ski (滑雪) down mountains. Others climb hug rocks or take photos of dangerous animals. Why do people enjoy risky (冒险的) activities like these?

Some people take risks simply because it makes them feel good. An expert Bob says that these explorers (探险家) are always looking for change and excitement. When people do something new or risky, something special in the brain creates a happy feeling. They love this feeling and want to experience it as often as possible.

Some people don't take risks for the feeling of excitement but to achieve something. For example, Mike Fay went on a dangerous 2,000-mile special journey in central Africa. He worked to help save the animals there. Fay’s efforts helped create 13 national parks.

For other people, such as extreme athletes (极限运动员) taking risks is part of their job. Sports psychologist Shane says extreme athletes see the work differently. In a dangerous activity, most people do not feel in control. Extreme athletes are different: they feel in control in dangerous situations. The danger can even help them. For example, famous skier Daron Rahives says that being afraid makes him try harder to succeed and all the risk-takers like to challenge themselves.

Most of us are not extreme athletes or explorers, but we still take risks in our lives for all kinds of reasons. And what kind of risk-taker are you?

【1】The underlined word "it " in Paragraph 2 refers to (指代) ________.

A.the human brain B.something new C.something special D.a happy feeling

【2】In Paragraph 3, Mike Fay went on a journey in central Africa to ________.

A.help save animals B.climb huge rocks

C.ski down mountains D.take photos of animal

【3】According to the passage, people take risks mainly for ________ reasons.

A.three B.four C.five D.six

【4】We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________.

A.extreme athletes deal with danger worse than others

B.explorers are always looking for change and excitement

C.all of the risk-takers are not extreme athletes or explore

D.a student who usually likes to challenge himself could be a risk-taker
