she kept all her papers from tests she took at the middle school no. 2 affiliated (附属的) to beijing normal university. when she entered senior high school, she started to arrange them all according to grades and subjects.“unlike some classmates, i never threw my papers away -no matter whether i did well or not. its just a sort of habit,” she said.good habits like this always bring benefits. zhao hated re-reading textbooks before big exams. and if she used the marked papers, she could save much time and avoid making the same mistakes. it worked - she came out top all the time.the papers also say something about the present education system for middle schools in china. many people complain that the system is not ideal (理想的). but zhao thinks that its unrealistic (不现实的) for a developing country with such a large population to follow the same teaching methods as the west.“for example, how can a teacher praise and encourage every one of 50 to 60 students in one class?” she explained.as a second year science student at shaanxi normal university, zhao still works very hard at all her tests, though she has fewer than at middle school.24. what is so special about zhao xiaoyan?a. she is still a top student throughout middle school.b. she never did badly in her exams.c. she went to a famous university after middle school.d. she kept all her test papers at middle school.25. which of the following is true about zhao xiaoyan?a. she never read her textbooks.b. she always re-read her textbooks before big exams.c. she benefited a lot from the papers she kept.d. she was in fact quite a lazy student.26. which of the following played the most important part in helping her become a top student?a. good learning habits.b. working hard at her lessons.c. going to a good school. d. working with her classmates.27. from the passage we can conclude (得出结论) that _.a. chinese middle school students have few tests to takeb. zhao xiaoyan is an independent thinkerc. the chinese education system is the best in the worldd. china should adapt (采纳) the western education systemcthe iphone, the ipad: each of apples products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” - and many other brands are following suit. the bbcs iplayer - which allows web users to watch tv programs on the internet -used the title in 2008. a lovely bear - popular in the us and uk - that plays music and video is called “iteddy”. a slimmed-down version(简装本) of londons independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.in general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.most “i” products are targeted at（针对）young people and considering the major readers of independents “i”, its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name. but its hard to see whats so special about the letter “i”. why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? according to tony thorne, head of the language center at kings college, london, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. when apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means internet, information, individual or interactive, thorne told bbc magazines. “even when apple created the ipod, it seems it didnt have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.“however, thanks to apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds thorne.clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the western world is centered on the individual. each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason. along with “google” and “blog”, readers of bbc magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade. but as history shows, people grow tired of fads. from the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. however, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared. 28. we can infer that the independents “i” is designed for _.a. old readersb. engineersc. fashionable womend. young readers 29. the underlined word “ambiguous” means “_”.a. popularb. clearc. uncertaind. unique30. nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are _.a. portable b. environmentally friendlyc. advancedd. recyclable32. the writer suggests that _.a. “i” products are often of high quality. b. iteddy is alive bear.c. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products.d. the popularity of “i” products may not last long.dafter 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. the other woman was my mother, who has been a widow (寡妇) for 19 years. however, the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.that friday after work, when i arrived at her house, my mother was waiting in the door with her coat on. she had curled (使卷曲) her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.we went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy (舒适的). my mother took my arm as if she were the first lady. during the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation about nothing extraordinary(非凡的) but just caught up on recent events. we talked so much that we missed the movie.as we arrived at her house later, she said: “ill go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” i agreed. a few days later, my mother died of a massive (严重的) heart attack. it happened so suddenly that i didnt have a chance to do anything for her.sometime later, i received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt (收据) from the same place mother and i had dined. an attached note said: “i paid this bill in advance. i wasnt sure whether i could be there; still, i paid for two plates one for you and the other for your wife. you will never know what that night meant for me. i love you, son.”at that moment, i understood the importance of saying: “i love you” and of giving our loved ones the time they deserve. nothing in life is more important than family. give family members the attention they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some “other” time.32. the author describes in detail how his mother looked, in order to _.a. show readers his mothers characterb. stress how important the dinner was to his motherc. create an atmosphere of happinessd. show the importance of table manners33. the author should be thankful to _. a. his wife, who pushed
