24、   Taking care of pets can be a great way to teach children responsibility, but it's important to be realistic (现实的). If you're keen on bringing an animal into your home and you've designed a plan for its proper care, here are some choices.

• FISH

First-time owners should consider getting cold-water fish as no tank (鱼缸) heater is required. They should research what kinds of fish get along in the same tank, and be aware of life expectancies-some goldfish can live up to 20 years.

• RABBITS

Though rabbits, or nickname bunnies, may seem like a lovely choice, they can live up to ten years and require an amount of care similar to that of a dog or cat. They have their special diet needs, and often don't behave well around small children. Each year, quite a lot of Easter bunnies become homeless when families feel tired of them.

• GUINEAPIGS (豚鼠，荷兰猪)

These small animals are ideal starter pets. Their cages must be cleaned daily, and they require toys to keep their ever growing teeth in check. Once they're used to the new way of life, guinea pigs need daily exercise in a small room without cracks or holes for escape. They don't want to be alone, but if you get two, make sure they're the same sex or they'll have babies.

• BIRDS

Fond of a fixed timetable, birds require feeding at the same time each day. Cages should be cleaned daily and disinfected (消毒) weekly. Birds clean themselves by bathing in dishes of water and grow in cages big enough to spread their wings and fly a short time.

【1】All the following pets are recommended in the passage EXCEPT ________

A.Rabbits B.Cats C.Guinea pigs D.Birds

【2】As a beginner to raise fish, you'd better ________ in a tank.

A.get some cold-water fish, which get along well B.get some warm-water fish, which get along well

C.get some cold-water fish and some warm-water fish D.get only one cold-water fish or warm-water fish

【3】Rabbits can live up to ________ years, as long as dogs or cats.

A.five B.ten C.twenty D.thirty

【4】________ are necessary for Guinea pigs to play with or grow.

A.Tank heaters B.Cages C.Toys D.Cracks or holes

【5】The underlined word "fixed" from the passage means ________.

A.regular B.repaired C.full D.mixed

【6】The passage is mainly written to ________.

A.officers working for SPCA B.staff from the local zoo

C.reporters for the Animal World D.kids hoping to raise pets at home

25、“Look at Amy’s picture!” Mom said, too loud. She does that when she’s excited, because she can’t hear herself. Some kids turned to stare at us and I wanted to hide.

I led my family into my classroom and looked around. Other kids and parents were there, but I didn’t see Evelyn.

Ms. Jennings walked over to us. I introduced her to my family and explained that my parents are deaf.

“Oh,” she said. “Well, how do you say ‘Welcome!’ in sign language?”

“Like this.” I swept my open right hand in toward my body, palm（掌心）up.

She repeated the movement.

“Thank you,” Mom said, smiling. “It’s nice to meet you.”

Ms. Jennings looked surprised. “You speak very well,” she said.

In sign language, I repeated what Ms. Jennings had said in case my parents hadn’t read her lips（嘴唇）.

Mom nodded. “I lost my hearing as a child, after I’d learned to talk. Amy’s father was born deaf. He can talk, too, but he’s shy about his voice.”

Dad smiled in agreement.

Some of my classmates were watching us and whispering. Then I noticed Evelyn and her mom standing by the door.

“I sit over there,” I told my family and quickly walked toward my desk.

“Hi, Amy,” Evelyn said suddenly.

I turned around. “Hi.”

“I didn’t know your parents are deaf,” she said.

“Yeah.” I couldn’t think of anything else to say.

“And you can talk to them with your hands? That’s so cool.”

“You think so?” I asked with relief.

Evelyn nodded. “It’s like a secret code. Would you teach me some words sometime?”

I smiled. “Of course.”

“One of my dad’s neighbours uses sign,” she said. “Maybe I can surprise her with a greeting next time I visit my dad.”

“Your dad doesn’t live with you?” I said.

She shook her head. “My parents are separated.”

“Oh, I…” I’d been so worried about my family that I hadn’t thought about Evelyn’s family. “Hey, if you come over tomorrow, we can practice some sign language then.”

I got my parents’ attention. “Mom, Dad,” I said, signing, “I’d like you to meet my friend Evelyn and her mom.”

26、   As one saying goes, where there are Chinese people, there are kung fu legend.

Jin Yong, also known as Louis Cha Leung-yung, was regarded as one of the greatest kung fu fiction writers in China. And for many people, Cha built a magical kung fu kingdom that they could escape into every now and then.

But this kingdom is falling apart now, because Cha passed away on Oct 30, at the age of 94.

Cha wrote all of his 15 wuxia novels between 1955 and 1972. While the values and tastes of readers have changed greatly in recent years, his books continue to attract people. His works have been made into movies and TV series so many times in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.

The characters of his books never fail to move both men and women. For example, in The Return of the Condor Heroes, the young hero Yang Guo waits for his lover Xiaolongnu faithfully for 16 years. believing that she is still alive, even though she has jumped from a mountain into a ravine（悬崖）

Cha's books bring readers joy, and Cha himself has equal fun creating them. "Writing gives me space for imagination, just like a director," Cha told China Daily.

However, Cha's real aim in writing novels is to show traditional Chinese values and qualities. "Kung fu novels must show fairness and righteousness（正义）. The good fight the bad. Traditional values are shown through the characters and their stories, not by telling readers," he said.

【1】What did Jin Yong do?

A.A kangfu actor. B.A director. C.A poet. D.A writer.

【2】Which of the following is NOT true?

A.Louis Cha Leung-yung is also known as Jin Yong.

B.Cha's real aim in writing is to show traditional English values and qualities.

C.Cha has much fun creating the novels.

D.Cha thinks Kung fu novels must show fairness and righteousness.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A.The values and tastes have changed so these days people don't like Jin Yong's books.

B.People like Jin Yong's books so much that the value and tastes have changed greatly.

C.Though the values and tastes have changed，Jin Yong's books are still much loved.

D.Jin Yong's books continue to change their topics with the values changing.

【4】What's the best title of the passage?

A.Jin Yong and his works. B.Jin Yong's whole life.

C.Jin Yong's death make us sad. D.Jin Yong's value in his novel.

27、BEIJING—Heavy haze (霾) still covered north and east China on Saturday, with

highways closed and flights delayed or canceled (取消).

The smoggy weather affected the country’s land from north to south, including Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong, with visibility less than 50 meters in some areas.

The rise of the Emoji(表情符号)

Happy, angry, amazed－these are some of the emotions we like to express these days when we’re sending a message on our mobile phones. We’re also using them as a quick way of telling someone how we’re f【1】. Yes, emojis have become a very important tool for communication.

Let’s clear one thing up first－there are emojis and emoticons. The latter are little images which are made using normal keys on a keyboard. For example, a colon(冒号), two dots, followed by a close bracket(右括号) is a “smiley face”. But as technology has improved, many images have been created and they can be simply a【2】to your messages, which is great!

The emoji was first invented in Japan in the late 1990s and the word “emoji” comes from the Japanese words for “picture” and “character”. The number of different images has greatly i【3】 since then. Now we have a picture of every mood or situation.

Another a【4】 of emojis is that they are an international language－they don’t use word but tell a message in pictorial form so they can be e【5】 translated whatever your native language is. However, the emojis you send need some thought as they can sometimes be misunderstood. If a friend sends you an emoji of a hammer(锤), you may think he is angry when really he is s【6】he has hurt!

But as Linguist Neil Cohn says, “To many, emojis are an exciting development of the way we communicate; to others, they are linguistic decline(语言的衰退).” It shows there is a lot more to our communication than words a【7】, but does this mean the decline in traditional writing?
