24、Good evening and welcome to World Views. Earlier in the day, we spoke to three different people about family traditions. Here’s what they said.

① Christmas presents

One of our traditions is to do with Christmas presents. Most people open their presents in the morning, but we open ours in the late afternoon after Christmas lunch. It’s really nice to do so because opening the presents in the morning makes the rest of the day, you know, it’s boring. Well, that’s what we think.

② Birthday cakes

One tradition we have is to do with birthdays, all our birthday cakes have to be carrot cakes. My dad has to make the cake. He even has to make the cake for his own birthday! Perhaps it’s because my mum doesn’t like other tastes cakes. And the funny thing is, we never have carrot cakes at any other time-only birthdays.

③ Special day

We had a tradition in our family for the last day of the summer holidays. The day before we had to go back to school, mum and dad would always take us out for the day. In the morning, we’d get up early and go for a long walk. Next, we’d go for lunch in our favorite restaurant. Then, to the cinema to see a film. Finally, home, where we’d play games. It made going back to school so much better.

【1】In the first family, when do they open the Christmas presents?

A. In the morning B. In the afternoon

C. In the evening D. At night

【2】In the second family, who makes the carrot cakes for everyone’s birthday?

A. Dad   B. Mum   C. Kids D. Grandmother

【3】Which day is a special day for the third family?

A. Christmas Day

B. Dad’s birthday

C. The last day of the summer holiday

D. The first day of the summer holiday

25、   To eat only a vegan (素食的) diet might sound difficult, especially with many popular dishes containing meat or other animal products. Yet in 2017, veganism was described as "the fastest-growing lifestyle movement " in the UK, according to BBC news.

A study by a UK market research organization, suggests that over 542,000 Brits went vegan during the previous 10 years, an increase of 360%. And the main force behind this increase was those aged 15—34 years old—42% of recent vegans fall under that age range.

So why exactly has veganism (素食主义) become so popular among young Brits?

One reason could be that many young people want to protect the environment, eating less meat is known to be beneficial to the environment. Global meat industry is believed to cause 18% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions (排放), even more than that of all the world's cars, trains and planes combined. Another reason is that many of today's young people believe that it's wrong to kill animals to be used as food.

Jess Murray, 22, a student at University College London, said that he chose to become vegan after realizing that eating animals is a choice that people make, rather than something that we need to do to survive. "Becoming vegan was an ethical (道德的) decision," he told the Guardian.

Social media is also believed to have given rise to the increase in veganism.

Platforms such as Facebook allow young vegans to connect with each other much easier, while others such as Instagram have led to the creation of "vegan celebrities (名人)", who share lips on vegan lifestyles.

Despite the rising of veganism, Laura Wyness, an expert in diet and nutrition, said that meat is very important for people's health. "A strict vegan diet makes it difficult to get some minerais and vitamins that your body needs," Wyness told BBC news.

However, veganism doesn't seem to become less popular. "It feels more like this is something that is sticking." said an expert of the Vegan Society, a UK charity that encourages veganism.

【1】What can we learn about veganism, "the fastest-growing lifestyle movement" in UK?

A.It has grown sharply in the past 10 years.

B.It is supported mainly by old people.

C.It has led to further market research.

D.It has created many popular dishes.

【2】The following may be the reason for the increase in veganism EXCEPT ________.

A.Young people prefer an environment-friendly life.

B.Meat industry increases the world's greenhouse gas.

C.Young people want to become ethical celebrities.

D.Social media allow the vegan message to spread quickly around.

【3】The underlined word "sticking" in the last paragraph means _________.

A.important B.special C.impressive D.lasting

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Veganism is bad for people's health. B.Young Brits are going vegan.

C.How to start a vegan lifestyle. D.Veganism is good for the environment

26、   Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can't remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn't with their memory. The problem is with how they study.

To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it's organized .When you put away a book - or memory - you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.

How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is "height", you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.

【1】In the writer's opinion, students can't remember words because_____.

A.they have memory problems B.they are too worried

C.they don't use a proper way D.they don't like to study

【2】Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage?

A.Short-term memory is seldom used.

B.What we see goes into long-term memory first.

C.We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory.

D.We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory.

【3】The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory____.

A.keeps many books like a large library B.works like a well-organized library

C.provides any book you want D.leaves memory anywhere

【4】This passage mainly tells us about_____.

A.language students' problems in study B.how to make the meaning of words stronger

C.short-term and long-term memory D.how to improve ways to remember words

27、   In Singapore, primary and high school students take outdoor-skills courses as part of their studies. They are usually three to five days long and include rope and rock climbing, going to sea in a small boat, sleeping in a tent at night, taking long walks in the forest, and learning to make a fire. It's real life. One careless mistake could make someone get really hurt. Are those outdoor skills really important?

Minister of Education Ng Chee Meng says that the outdoor courses help students develop skills like critical thinking (批判性思维), teamwork, and good communication — abilities that are necessary for work and life. He believes that these skills are as important as traditional subjects. Students need to learn from books, but for some lessons, reading isn't as useful as doing.

What do the students think? Angelique, a student from Singapore, went for a boat trip in the sea.“It helped me to grow stronger,” she says. She felt nervous because it was stormy that day. There were moments when she felt afraid and hopeless. But she remembered that“smooth seas never made a skilled sailor (水手)” and felt brave enough to continue against the storm.“I am thankful for this amazing chance,” she says.

Right now, students attend the courses with groups from their own school. After 2020, however, all students will do the course in groups from several different schools. One student said it this way, “Nothing's impossible.”And that's a great lesson to learn.

【1】In Singapore , the students usually spend________ on outdoor-skills courses.

A.3 days B.5 days C.8 days D.3,4 or five days

【2】According to the first paragraph, what may make someone get really hurt?

A.taking long walks in the forest B.going to sea in a small boat

C.one careless mistake D.sleeping in a tent at night

【3】Minister of Education Ng Chee Meng thinks that________are as important as traditional subjects.

A.skills like critical thinking B.teamwork C.good communication   D.above of all

【4】What did Angelique think of her boat trip in the sea?

A.It was terrible. B.It was hopeless C.It was amazing. D.It was boring.

28、语法填空

阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。

Christmas is one of the most important festivals in Western countries. But what does Christmas mean? Does it just mean having parties, decorating Christmas trees 【1】  giving presents to each other ? No, not exactly. The true   【2】  (mean) of Christmas lies behind all these things. Maybe Charles Dickens’ novel, a Christmas Carol,can make you think more of Christmas.

Charles Dickens told us a story about a mean (吝啬的）old man   【3】  is called Scrooge. Scrooge cares about nothing but his business and money. He treats others badly. Then one Christmas Eve, Scrooge has a dream, in his dream, he meets the ghost (鬼) of Jacob Marley, one of his partners. Marley was as mean as Scrooge when he was alive. But after he   【4】  (dead), he was punished   【5】  his unkindness. He tells Scrooge that three spirits(幽灵) will visit him soon.

And then  【6】  day they have mentioned comes at last. One of them is the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. The spirit takes Scrooge to see what will happen to him when he is dead. Scrooge is sad and frightened  【7】  (find) that nobody cares about his death. He is so afraid that he wakes up and finds out it is just a nightmare(恶梦).

The dream warns Scrooge to change   【8】  (him) and be kind to others. He changes quickly and he celebrates Christmas happily with his relatives by giving gifts. From then  【9】 , he treats everyone with kindness and warmth. So what does the story tell us? Yes, it tells us that we should show kindness to others by 【10】  (spread)love and joy.
