24、   A recent study from a team of South Korean researchers suggests that eating alone often may lead to poor eating habits and poor food choices. Specifically, the study found that men who ate alone more than twice a week had a greater risk of developing high blood pressure and other diseases.

For children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad results—it is also about developing good ones.

In 2014, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) looked at data from nearly three-quarters of the world’s countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with families were less likely to skip school(逃学). Children who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to use drugs and alcohol(吸毒酗酒).

In the report, named “The Importance of Family Dinners”, researchers say that “teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about what’s going on in their lives”. They also say that when teens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.

Another study from the University of Montreal found that children who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits. These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks. These children also seemed to have better social skills and they were less aggressive(好斗的).

Professor Linda Pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents “likely provide young children with first-hand social communication, discussions of social events and day-to-day matters”. She adds that they may likely help the child have better communication skills with others.

【1】The underlined word “benefits” in Paragraph 5 is the closest in meaning to ________.

A.advantages B.disadvantages C.conditions D.problems

【2】Children eating with their families are more likely to ________.

A.drink more sugary soft drinks B.do well in their studies at school

C.be more socially active and aggressive D.have a closer relationship with their parents

【3】Why is Professor Pagani mentioned in the last paragraph?

A.To introduce her. B.To add a new point.

C.To explain further. D.To provide background information.

【4】The passage mainly talks about ________.

A.the benefits of eating together B.the advantages of eating alone

C.the ways of developing social skills D.the risks of using drugs and alcohol

25、   We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.

When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.

The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self-improvement power is when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽视) it.

Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so, but because we realize it’s for our own good.

Happy people don’t just accept change; they embrace (拥抱) it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.

Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!

Self-improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.

【1】The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that ________.

A.we learn our lessons when we experience pain

B.we are responsible for the problems we meet

C.life fails us when we get into the wrong way

D.life is a long journey full of ups and downs

【2】What is the key to solving Jane’s problem?

A.She needs to remember why she started.

B.She has to know how to get on with people.

C.She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.

D.She needs to understand the importance of confidence.

【3】The writer probably agrees that ________.

A.the world tells us how to improve ourselves

B.people change when they find it easy to do that

C.welcoming change in life is a drive to become better

D.enjoying the process of self-improvement makes life simpler

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Is it important to take things light?

B.Is it necessary to embrace challenges?

C.To hold on to the last moment or to give up?

D.To free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it?

26、   Big Ben is not the name of a man. It is the name of a huge clock in London. London is the capital of England. This clock has four faces. So, no matter where you stand, you can read the time on the face of Big Ben. Each face is the size of a double—decker（双层）bus. The hands are about four meters long. It is about the size of two people standing on top of each other. If you go to London, you may want to visit the Houses of Parliament（议会大厦）. There you will find BigBen sitting at the top of the clock tower in the Houses of Parliament. Maybe you will hear it as well as see it. The huge clock makes such a loud noise. “Ding dong, ding dong,” it goes every quarter of an hour.

The clock was named after a big man. He was Sir Benjamin Hall. This man did much building work in London many years ago.

29、   If a friend helps you a lot, what do you do in return? You could just say “thanks”, or you could write a(an) ______ note which is more polite. But most people don’t do this. Why don’t people like ______ thank-you notes? And how do most people react (反应) when they ______ one? Kumar from University of Texas made a study of it. He asked each student to write a thank-you note to another person ______ email. Then, they questioned both the writer and the recipient (接受者) about the note and how it made them feel. They found there were several ______ for people not to write thank-you notes. They feel like they have to think too much about it. They ______ what to say and how to say it. They also overthink the “correctness” of what they are writing. But people ______ like receiving thank-you notes. “As recipients, they pay attention to the ______ of the thank,” Kumar says. “Besides, they (recipients) feel positive (积极的) ______ they were receiving these expressions.” If people knew that writing a thank-you note can have such a big influence on the recipient, they would do it more ______.
