24、

From November 1st to December 10th in 2020, China started its seventh national population census (普查). 7 million census takers have asked each family about their name, gender (性别), age, education, job and so on. This census is different from the ones in the past. For the first time, citizens were encouraged to use smart phones to record their information.

China has a national population census every 10 years. The first one was done in 1953. At that time, there were about 600 million people in China. But China’s population has increased. It was about 1.37 billion in 2010.

For the 2020’s national population census, all residents (居民) of China were included in the census. But Chinese citizens (公民) who had settled (定居) abroad and foreign citizens who were staying in China on either business or tourist visas (签证) were not counted.

“The census is very important for every citizen, said Ning Jizhe, director of the NBS.” It will help improve infrastructure (基础建设) and public services. For example, if census results show that there are many children living in acertain area, the government will know that it should build more schools there. Scientists can also learn more about population growth from the census. In some years, the population grows faster than in others. Even in the same year, population growth is different in different places. Scientists can use the information to find out what causes growth in certain years and places.

27、There is a saying that “earthquakes don’t kill people, buildings do.” It seems sadly true. Thousands of people died under bricks (砖块) of the damaged (毁坏的) buildings during the recent earthquakes. Is there a way to build earthquake-proof (抗震) buildings? Engineers have some life-saving ideas.

“Lift” the house up

To prevent earthquake waves from going through the building, one way is to “lift” the building’s foundation above the ground. The building can be built on top of pads (垫状物), which are usually made up of steel and rubber. During earthquakes, only the pads move and the building stays steady (平稳的). This can reduce the strength of earthquake waves by 13 to 15 percent, according to the website Bethinking the Future.

Right materials

Earthquake-proof materials must be easy to bend (弯曲) without breaking. Some of these materials include steel, wood and bamboo. In Japan, most traditional houses are built with wood. During earthquakes, wooden buildings bend to avoid building up stress. Steel is one of the main materials of modern tall buildings because it can increase their ductility (延展性).

Dome house

A Japanese company has made dome-shaped houses with styrofoam. Styrofoam is a very light material. The whole house weighs only 80 kilograms. So when earthquakes happen, the house will not hurt people.

Besides, there are many other good ideas on building earthquake-proof buildings. For example, a company in America is developing magnetic field (磁场) technology that can raise houses above ground when earthquakes happen. We hope these ideas can be put in action and more people’s lives can be saved.

根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

【1】How does the writer lead into the passage in Paragraph 1?

A．By telling a joke.

B．By using a saying.

C．By asking a question.

D．By making a survey.

【2】What are “earthquake-proof buildings” like?

A．They can sound a warning when earthquakes happen.

B．They are strong enough to stand earthquakes.

C．They can be easily damaged in earthquakes.

D．They are all built with wood instead of bricks.

【3】Why can the pads help buildings stay steady in an earthquake?

A．Because they can stop the ground movement.

B．Because they can lift up buildings far from the ground.

C．Because they can reduce the strength of earthquake waves.

D．Because they can make the buildings’foundations hold onto the ground.

【4】What do we know about Japan’s traditional houses?

A．Bamboo is the most common material used for the houses.

B．Most are hard to bend thanks to the use of steel.

C．Most are built with wood which is easy to bend without breaking.

D．They have great ductility because of the wide use of steel.

【5】What is the advantage of using styrofoam in dome-shaped houses during earthquakes?

A．It reduces the weight of the houses.

B．It raises the houses above the ground.

C．It increases the strength of the houses.

D．It increases the ductility of the house.

When I was 13 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.

Every time I heard the other students talking and l 【2】  , I felt my heart broken. I couldn’t talk to anyone about my p 【3】  , and I didn’t want my parents to worry about me.

Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as u 【4】 . At that moment, a boy e  【5】  the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and, without a word, s  【6】  .

Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and f  【7】  . It made me feel happy, lively and warm.

That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became c  【8】  to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.

One day, I asked him w  【9】 he smiled, but he couldn’t remember smiling at me!

29、    One day, we were playing basketball after lunch. Abby was so distracted by her worries _______ she didn’t even notice the ball hurtling toward her.

“Ow!” She cried as the ball _______ her in the side of the face.

“I’m so sorry,” said Luke. “I thought you saw it coming!”

“It’s OK. My mouth is going to be hurting like crazy soon anyway.”

“How come?” Luke asked.

“I am going to get braces next week,” Abby said. “I’m so worried. I can’t think about _______ else.”

“My dad has this trick that helps with worrying,” I said. “He has me name the specific things I’m _______ about.”

I continued, “So if you write down the things you worry about, maybe you can _______ do something about them. I’ll help you make a list.”

That afternoon, we made a very clear list of Abby’s worries:

1 Braces will make me _______ strange.

2 Everyone will play _______ joke on me.

3 I will never be able to eat popcorn or sticky candies again.

4 Because of the braces, I’ll spend _______ life in pain.

_______ Abby’s worries list wasn’t exactly funny, we still decided to describe it with silly cartoon drawings, and we couldn’t stop laughing.

Abby had the world’s best idea. “How about _______ my worry list into a survey? We can ask kids with braces _______ they’ve experienced the things on my list.”

The next day we did the survey, and everyone seemed _______ to take part in it.

Then we discovered that everyone agreed it _______ a few days to get used to their new look. Not being able to eat stuff that gets stuck in braces, but ice cream or ice pops can still _______. Whatever, it’s really not that big of a deal.
