24、Mary didn’t understand such sentences as “She is blue today”, “You are yellow”, “He has a green thumb(拇指)”, “He has told a white lie” and so on. And she went to the teacher Mrs. James for help.

Mary: Mrs. James, there is a colour in each of the sentences. What do they mean?

Mrs. James: In everyday English, Mary, blue sometimes means sad, yellow afraid. A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one.”

Mary: I’m afraid I don’t understand them all. Would you give me an example for “a white lie”?

Mrs. James: Certainly. Now I just give you some cakes. In fact you don’t like it, but you don’t want to let me know it. Instead you say, “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie.

Mary: It sounds very interesting. Thanks very much.

Mrs. James: You are welcome. Colours are meaningful. I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future. Please come to me if you have any questions.

25、Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.

Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts. The bags are prohibited（禁止）in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.

Among the bag makers’ argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today. The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.

Environmentalists don’t dispute these points. They hope paper bags will be banned（禁止） someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.

【1】What has Steven Stein been hired to do?

A．Help increase grocery sales.

B．Recycle the waste material.

C．Stop things falling off trucks.

D．Argue for the use of plastic bags.

【2】What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Bans on plastic bags.

B．Effects of city development.

C．Headaches caused by garbage.

D．Plastic bags hung in trees.

【3】What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?

A．They are quite expensive.

B．Replacing them can be difficult.

C．They are less strong than plastic bags.

D．Producing them requires more energy.

26、

This is a letter by Selena Bieber to the students in her school.

【1】What problem is Selena Bieber trying to fix?

A．High school lessons are too difficult.

B．Classes start too early in the morning.

C．Too many students are late for school.

D．Lunch break is too short for taking a rest.

【2】What can we learn from the letter?

A．Too much melatonin can hurt teenagers’ brains.

B．The brain stops making melatonin after 11 p.m.

C．Sleeping longer helps the body to make more melatonin.

D．We can sleep better when the brain’s making melatonin.

【3】Below is some information from another study. Do the ideas in Selena’s letter agree with the information?

We studied 48 high school students and found that the students who went to bed earlier did better on their school tests. This is not only true for those who slept nine hours, but also true for those who slept less. And some of them agreed that they learned better in early morning classes.

A．Yes, because Selena says it is better to sleep from 11 p.m.to 8 a.m.

B．Yes, because Selena says getting up early is not helpful for learning.

C．No, because Selena says students are supposed to get to school by 7:30 a.m.

D．No, because Selena says teenagers’ brains don’t work well in early morning classes.

28、Fill in the blanks (首字母填空)

We don’t meet people by accident. Every person you meet will have a role in your life, big or small. Some will h【1】 you grow, some will hurt you, and some will inspire you to do better. At the same time, you are playing some roles in their lives as well. The best teachers are those who don’t tell you how to get there but show the way.

There is no better joy than helping people see a vision for themselves, seeing them go to levels higher than they ever would have imagined on their own.

But that doesn’t mean you have to fix them or enable them. I【2】, guide them to the source of their own power. O【3】 them help and motivation as they find their own way and show you what they’re capable of. All you have to do is to believe in them.

We like to think of life as a competition, so it’s easy to look down on someone who isn’t as s【4】 or well educated as you are.

But you have no idea how far that person has already climbed or where they will end up. Time could easily reverse (反转) your positions, so be sure you treat everyone with r【5】. Appreciate those who have s【6】 you, forgive those who have hurt you, and help those who need you.

Treat all people—i【7】 yourself—with love and compassion, and you can’t go wrong. Treat people the way you want to be treated and life will instantly get better.
