24、阅读下面的四篇短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。
I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone, in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her imaginary friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even though it was pretend(假装).
She said, "Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was obvious she'd been put there to sit alone and think.
My daughter continued her "conversation," as I sat down on the floor. She said, "I'm all fed up, I just don't know what to do with her anymore. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never lets me do the things that I just have to do.
She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach and she doesn't know how to fold towels. I don't have the energy to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play. Don't you know what I mean?"
And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, as I listened to her innocent(天真的) words that cut me like a knife. I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear.
But now my attitude has changed, because, in my heart, I realize I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes. So, let the cobwebs (蜘蛛网) have the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor, I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them anymore .
I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood, and we will never get another.
【1】 What was the little girl doing with her doll?
A. She was dressing up her doll.
B. She was playing the doll with her friend Suzie.
C. She was talking to her mother.
D. She was punishing her doll.
【2】How did mother feel when she heard the “conversation”?
A. Worried. B. Regretful.
C. Disappointed. D. Sad.
【3】What can we learn from this passage?
A. The mother shouldn’t blame her daughter.
B. The mother should spend enough time with her daughter.
C. The mother shouldn’t carry responsibilities that many.
D. The mother should pay attention to her daughter’s words.

China, with Four Great Inventions, in ancient times, has once again showed its ability to change the world with its “new four great inventions”: high-speed railways, electronic payments, shared bicycles and online shopping.
The four innovative ways of life are most popular among young people, according to a survey by the Belt and Road-Research Institute(一带一路研究院) of Beijing Foreign Studies University.
“The ‘new four great inventions’ are all related to China’s high-tech (高科技), which made the lives of people easier in China,” said Wu Hao, the director of Beijing Foreign Studies University.
“My wallet is no longer in use. I can buy and eat whatever I want simply with my phone,” said Lin Jinlong, a foreign student from Cambodia, adding that “Even pancake sellers are using Alipay (mobile payment). We can also order food at home, which is super convenient. If I were at home in Cambodia, I would have to go outdoors.”
As a big fan of bicycles, he also showed his love for China’s shared bicycles, saying that “shared bikes are bringing cycling (骑单车) back to people’s lives---and they are making public transport(公共交通) more convenient and less crowded, and encouraging people to be more active.”
Rebacca Fannin, the founder of Silicon Dragon(硅谷之龙), noted that China is beginning to lead in innovation in some ways.
“It is increasingly clear that China is inventing and no longer copying western ideas. It is also increasingly clear that China is leading in many ways such as social messaging app WeChat,” she said.

26、The government in China plans to end its one-child policy and let families have two children instead.
The plan was announced on Thursday after high-level political meetings in Beijing.A Chinese Communist Party statement gave a number of reasons for the change in policy.The statement said the change is meant to balance population development,stop a falling birth rate( 出生率) and strengthen the country's labor force(劳动力).
China,with the largest population in the world,started the one-child policy in 1980.But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children.For example,some families in the countryside could have two children,if the first-born child is a girl.
In 2013,the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child.
Jiang Quanbao,a teacher and population expert,explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy."Too many young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child,"he said."People in the countryside are more interested.But some of them are already allowed to have two children."
At the end of 2014,China had a population of 1.37billion people.A total of 800million of them have jobs.But the labor market population will drop in 35years.That is to say,the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050.With the two-child policy,an increase in births can solve this problem.
Boys and girls,what do you think of the two-child policy?Do you want to have a new-born brother or a sister?
【1】Why does the government plan to end the one-child policy?___
A. Because we need a larger population.
B. Because millions of people have jobs.
C. Because most families want to have a second child.
D. Because a falling birth rate must be stopped.
【2】How do most young people in the cities react to the two-child policy?___

C. They're very interested. D. They're not interested any more.
【3】When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one-child policy continues?___
A. In 2015. B. In 2035. C. In 2050. D. In 2070
【4】What's the order of the following events?___

27、Each year, the famous Oxford Dictionaries chooses its Word of the Year. The word is carefully chosen depending on how popular it is and how well it explains the year. However, this year they didn’t actually choose a word at all. Instead, they chose a “face with tears(眼泪) of joy” emoji (表情符号).
This was the world’s most used emoji in 2015, according to research done by the Oxford University Press. It made up 20 percent of all emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the US.
Emojis started from Japan in the 1990s. Through the years, the simple, small pictures have changed the way people communicate online. According to New Yorker magazine, a survey in 2013 showed that 74 percent of people in the US and 82 percent in China had used emojis. About 6, 000,000,000 emoji pictures are flying around the world every day through messages. Although some worry that emojis will make people’s language skills weak, fans say they are fun and help them express their feelings more easily.
“Emojis are no longer just for sending messages to teenagers. Instead, they have become a kind of expression, which can cross language barriers (障碍),” Oxford Dictionaries said in a statement, explaining their uncommon choice. “Emoji culture has become so popular that emojis have their own way and stories.”
Some even think emojis can take the place of words. Fred Benenson, an American data (数据) engineer, translated American novel Moby Dick into Emoji Dick. The book has even been kept by the US Library of Congress (美国国会图书馆).
【1】The Word of the Year for 2015 is ________.
