These are very simple but powerful phrases that we all like to hear: Im proud of you. I believe in you. I trust you. I love you. You can do it. With Thanksgiving Day approaching, we all should be focused on another one of these powerful phrases, in particular: I thank you. We can never wear out that phrase. It should always be on the tip of our tongue if we are truly grateful to others who help us each day and to God who has richly blessed us with more freedom than any country in history.Maybe were so focused on ourselves and busy with our lives that we forget to give thanks. Or maybe its because those of us in America have become satisfied with a level of luxury(奢华) beyond the imagination of much of the worlds population.We tend to take our blessings for granted, like the story about a homeowner who hired a real-estate agent (房地产经纪人) to prepare an ad to sell his home. The homeowner was reading the ad in the paper about his homes many attractive features. He called the real-estate agent to say he no longer wished to sell. When asked what changed his mind, the homeowner said, After reading your ad, I realized I already live in the house I always wanted to live in.In this season of Thanksgiving in particular, its time to count our blessings and pull out that simple phrase, I thank you.24.Which of the phrases can be popular in the authors speech most probably?A. I want to give up.B. You are the best one.C. Its beyond my ability.D. It has nothing to do with me.25.What does the author agree with according to the text?A. Ask our friends for help though they are in trouble.B. Doing something meaningful for our parents.C. Expressing thanks to others who usually help us.D. Waiting for God to help us when we are in trouble.26.What can we learn from the story about the homeowner?A. We should try our best to get more things.B. We should feel satisfied with what we have.C. We can make lots of friends as long as we treat them well.D. We can do everything as long as we try our best.27.What is the best title for the text?A. Say thanks out B. Enjoy everything you haveC. Show respect to your parents D. Buy something to express thanksC Looking out across the city and on top of the tall buildings before you are cows. Yes, you read that right. Farm animals are eating grass on high-rise urban farms at the top of high buildings in London. Elsewhere, off the coast of mainland England, against the background of the extremely beautiful White Cliffs of Dover, a wonderful pod (吊舱) structure forms part of a floating city. This is how we will live 100 years from nowif a group of UK experts is to be believed. Temporary (临时的) housing pods, underwater cities and 3D-printed houses will also help reduce the burden of overpopulation and inner city living-space shortages. Buildings with their own microclimates and cities built in the skies are also among the amazing achievements of future engineering predicted by the experts. But not only will tomorrows architects continue to advance towards the clouds, building higher and higher, as engineering advances allow, but well also be headed deep below ground. The experts suggested future cities would feature incredible multi-level basement structuresalready beginning to take effect in high-density (高密度的) areas like Londonwhich will help ease a lack of urban space above ground. Meanwhile, the future will feature city-spanning (跨越城市的) bridges, according to the experts. Want to travel over to Mars quickly? No problemthe experts are predicting spaceports (宇航基地) will become commonplace, so future generations will be able to head over to their local station and hitch (搭顺风车) the next ride. The predictions were heavily focused on water-based architecture and contemporary problems such as overpopulation, global warming and rising sea levels. Using the future tech predictions, 2,000 people were then surveyed to see which of the suggestions they thoughtand hopedwould become a reality by 2115. Topping the survey were super-deep basement buildings complete with hotels, restaurants, green space, swimming pools and gyms. The survey also found that one in three respondents (调查对象) considered floating sea citieswhich could use solar and tidal energyas a choice for future development.28.What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To present the topic.B. To make a comment.C. To make a comparison.D. To draw a conclusion.29.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. Different kinds of building structures.B. Recent development of building structures.C. Means to control the increase of population.D. Future building structures helping to solve the lack of living space.30.What does the underlined phrase local station in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Air station.B. Traveling agency.C. Spaceport.D. Traveling destination.31.What did people surveyed consider most practical?A. Floating sea cities.B. Deep underground buildings.C. City-spanning bridges.D. Underwater cities.D At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their allowances on things like candy and toys, Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchases. To try to get his peers (同龄人) to do the same, the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank, the Bartselana Student Bank, which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment. Set up in 2012, the bank is the worlds first bank for kids. To become a member, a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and set a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank partners are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and observe other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops. The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to Joses efforts, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by the bank members. The money received is placed in the personal account where they collect until the savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw the money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target. At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project, Jose recalls. They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class. The boys efforts paid off, and by 2013, the bank had over 200 members, who brought in one ton of recyclable waste. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, boasts ten educational centers. They are designed to teach the over 3,000 students, aged 10 to 18, to become financially independent, use their money wisely, and help the environment. Not surprisingly, Joses efforts have earned him several national and international awards. On November 20, 2018, Jose won Childrens Climate Prize, which comes with a medal and 5,500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has accomplished an extraordinary achievement for the climate or environment.32.Why did Jose set up the bank?A. To raise money and set up a recycling company.B. To buy necessities and donate them to needy kids.C. To save much money and protect the environment.D. To educate the students and help them win prizes.33.How can a kid be admitted to the eco-bank?A. By donating to the eco-bank.B. By turning in one kilogram of waste in a month.C. By sending in an application.D. By presenting a goal and a certain amount of waste.34.How did the teachers feel about Joses program?A. Doubtful.B. Excited.C. Moved.D. Worried.35.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How the environment is improved.B. What the project has achieved.C. How tons of waste has been recycled.D. What support the local institutions get.第二节 阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10分） Ways to Be Safe in School School safety issues involve more than violence.
