21、The British government has started a £10 million Mandarin Excellence (普通话优秀) Program. The program will see over 5,000 British students towards fluency (流利) in Mandarin Chinese by 2020.

The program is led by local schools and supported by University College London. So far, 14 schools have taken part in the program. Hundreds of secondary school students in England have taken lessons in Mandarin Chinese. Over the next three years, they will spend eight hours studying Mandarin Chinese every week.

Nick Gibb is an officer of the British government. He said a high level of fluency in Mandarin Chinese would become more and more important. “Language skills are important for jobs and life. Mandarin Chinese is spoken by the largest number of people in the world. It is also one of the languages that matters the most to our country’s future. If the United Kingdom wants to remain competitive (竞争的) in the world, we do need far more of our young people leaving school with a good command (精通) of Mandarin Chinese,” Gibb added. “We hope that our young people could be given the chance to study the language. We want them to be fluent in both spoken and written Mandarin. The Mandarin Excellence Program will help us do this. It will not only open the students’ eyes, but also give them a great advantage when they enter the world of work.”

British kids, in fact, are not alone. In America, about 200,000 students are studying Mandarin Chinese. It is believed that 800,000 more will join them over the next couple of years.

22、   How do you remember the way to your house? Where do dreams come from? It is your brain(大脑) that does these things. A British scientist showed that “sleep can improve one’s memory.” It’s not a dream for students to study when they sleep. In fact, your brains is working day and night. If you learn words before bed, a certain part of the brain may help you to remember the words while you sleep. What’s more, another scientist in the USA found that there was a “talent button(天才按钮)” in the human brain. It might make a person more talented.

There are more interesting things about the brain. Your brain uses less energy than a fridge light. Just two bananas can give the brain enough energy to work for a whole day. According to some scientists, yawning(打哈欠) keeps our brains “cool”, which makes us think quicker.

Here are some pieces of advice to keep a good brain:

Eat healthy food.

Get a lot of playtime or exercise.

Don’t drink or smoke.

Use your brain a lot.

C. work longer hours D. remember fewer things

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Our brains only work in the daytime.

B. Our brains need much energy every day.

C. Smoking can keep our brains healthy.

D. Getting exercise is good for our brains.

23、I took my wife and children to the Beijing World Park last weekend. The park has many replicas (复制品) of famous world monuments (历史遗迹), including the Eiffel Tower, Pyramids, Sydney Opera House the Taj Mahal and many others. For our children it was very educational. We showed them many of these monuments and got them to guess which country they were from.

Visitors could rent (租借) clothes to match (匹配) the monuments to take photos. We saw many people taking their wedding photos (结婚照) in the park. We also saw two shows there, an elephant show and an African drumming and dance show. They were wonderful. There were some amusement rides in one area, too.

The ticket to the park was 100 yuan for an adult and for children below 1. 2 m in height it was free. For children above 1. 2 m it was 60 yuan. My two children were both over 1. 2 m. But I don’t think the price was high.

I have been there twice, once with my friends in winter and this time with my family in summer. I loved both of my trips. In winter, it was a bit windy but there were fewer people so we could see everything in no hurry. In summer, it was more crowded but lively as they had dancers from different countries. I would like to go once again in autumn.

【1】What does the underlined word “they” refer to?

A．The children

B．The visitor

D．The monuments

【2】What did the writer’s family do in the park?

A．200 yuan.

B．260 yuan.

C．320 yuan.

D．400 yuan.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Talked something about the replicas of famous world monuments.

B．What the writer thought of the Beijing World Park.

C．Talked about the ticket to the park.

D．Talked about the writer’s experience of the trip to the Beijing World Park.

24、   How time flies! Now we are in the 【1】 (nine) grade. Our junior high school years will be over and the 【2】 (graduate) ceremony is coming in several months. However, I still remember the time when we came to the school. In the past three years, we have not only experienced lots of difficulties, 【3】 also had many wonderful memories in our school life. We once fought, but 【4】 (final) we made peace with each other. We are good 【5】 (friend) now.

I remembered that 【6】 (we) school held a sports meeting last summer. All of us took part in it actively. We ran, jumped and cheered for our teammates. We 【7】 (discuss) together to overcome all the difficulties. Luckily, we won the first prize. How happy we were!

It's time to say goodbye to the junior high school life. We have to separate f【8】 each other. We have too much 【9】 (please) during the three years. All good things must come to 【10】 end. We will face everything bravely in the future.
