2、

Long long ago, the king asked his daughter how much she loved him. She said that she loved him as much as she loved salt. Her answer made the king feel sad. Salt is a 【1】 thing, and it is very easy to see in life. So the king thought his daughter didn’t care about him. But the king was wrong. Salt might seem to be useless, but it is very important. Salt has caused wars 【2】 history. So why do people care so much about salt?

Salt has many uses. Our bodies need salt. If we don’t have enough, our muscles and organs(器官) can’t work 【3】 . We also use salt to produce other products. Products like plastic, paper, glass, rubber and soap 【4】 salt. But for many years, salt’s most important job was preserving (保存) food.

As a result, salt has the ability to preserve almost anything.

21、Fight with pollution

Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.

Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world.

Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt (被状物) over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog(烟雾).

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, and they mustn’t let dirty smoke go into the air.

We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and do not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.

Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.

22、Ask any student which subject he or she hates most. 9 out of 10 students will answer “math”. No matter which country you visit, no matter which grade you are in, you may not learn art, geography, chemistry or Chinese, but you always learn math. Why is this so? How come so many students hate math, and yet cannot avoid learning it in school?

Jenny Sanders, a high school student in California, asks, “What good do we get from learning math? We can use computers to compute numbers, and we can use computers to store information. I think learning math at school is a waste of time.”

However, there is much more to math than just learning to add and subtract (减) numbers. In fact, math is not so much about calculation (计算) as it is about learning to think logically (逻辑地) and solving problems. Of course, Jenny was right that we can use computers to do calculations, but how would we even know how to use the computer if we can't think logically? In short, computers are only tools when solving problems.

For example, imagine you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests. How should you divide yourresourcesso that you can get the job done most efficiently (高效地)? In situations like this, the ability to think logically will get you to a reasonable answer and solve your problem.

【1】According to the passage, which subject do students always learn in different grades at school?

A. Chinese.   B. Math.

C. Geography.   D. Art.

【2】What does Jenny Sanders think of learning math?

A. Interesting.   B. Boring.

C. Useless.   D. Difficult.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. 90% of the students hate learning math.

B. Students can learn math well with computers.

C. Math can do calculations and store information.

D. Math helps students learn all the other subjects well.

【4】What does the underlined word “resources” mean in the passage?

A. 科目   B. 效率   C. 信息   D. 资源

【5】What does the writer want to tell us?

A. Math is just learning to add and subtract numbers.

B. Math can be good for both our body and our mind.

C. Math helps us think logically and solve problems.

D. Math can help students find a good job in the future.

23、That Susan is so funny...I need to bring the car to the wash tomorrow...why is this person so loud...here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo.

We often find ourselves in an endless thought loop (圈). And every so often, we try to stop this endless flow of thoughts by telling ourselves to just stop thinking. But do we or can we ever really stop thinking?

It depends on your definition (定义) of “thinking”, according to Michael Halassa, the US. We basically go through each day in one of the two states—we either realize that we’re thinking or we don’t. Our brains won’t stop thinking completely until we die.

“The brain never stops thinking in a sense. Most thoughts are actually in the background without us noticing them and there’s not really a way to turn these things.” Halassa said.

You can compare this to how a computer works. When you aren’t using your computer while it is turned on, it is still running operations “in the background”. Your computer, much like your brain, even if you’re not actively using it.

“If you see a familiar face in a crowd and think you know them, you might not be able to come up with how you know them right away,” Halassa said. “But maybe hours later, you’ll suddenly remember. That’s a result of your brain thinking in the background.”

We even make decisions mostly unconsciously or without realizing them. For example, some of this background “thinking” results in what we call a “gut feeling (直觉)”. During our brain’s decision-making process (精确的), sometimes it’s not.

Even sitting here reading this, thinking about “thinking” is sending messages across chain of neurons (神经元) in the brain. So if we somehow manage to stop ourselves from “thinking”, the brain won’t sign off. It will continue to have thoughts—we just won’t realize them.

【1】When you are in an endless thought loop, you ________.

A．can think about a problem very clearly

B．keep thinking about one thing after another

C．cannot stop thinking about things in the past

D．keep thinking about one thing again and again

【2】What does Paragraph 5 try to tell us?

A．Human brains are thinking all the time.

B．A computer can think like a human brain.

C．Human brains work faster than computers.

D．A computer can deal with plenty of information.

【3】The word “unconsciously” in Paragraph 7 probably means “________”.

A．carelessly

B．unknowingly

C．fearlessly

D．undoubtfully

【4】What’s the best title for the passage?

A．Will We Continue to Have Thoughts after We Die?

B．How Do the Neurons in the Brain Work?

C．What Is the Definition of “Thinking”?

D．Can We Ever Really Stop Thinking?

24、As the name suggests, body language is the “language” of your body. For instance, s【1】 our heads means we disagree while n【2】 our heads means we agree.

Making good use of body language can make a good i【3】 on others in many occasions. When you’re having classes, sit up straight, because it shows your respect for teachers. Remember to have eye c【4】 with the audience when having a speech, do not c【5】 your arms, since it’s impolite to others.
