I was not as rich as before! We moved to the small apartment, and there was only one shower in the bathroomIt was so cold to take a shower in such a cold winterBut I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warmerSo every day I rushed to the bathroom firstI was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer, even if it was only 1Now I cannot give her a comfortable life, take her to good restaurants, or buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1 love24Why did the couple move to the small apartment?ABoth of them were out of workBThey wanted to live a better lifeCThey were too poor to live in the former houseDThe man could take better care of his business25Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exhausted”inparagragh 4？ADevotedBWorriedCInjuredDTired26What can be inferred from the passage?AThey would live a richer life soonBThe woman misunderstood her husbandCThe woman would get angry after reading the diaryDThe man would care less about his business27Whats the best title of the passage?AA Love Story BFight for the BathroomCA Suffering Couple D1 LoveCChildren start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your childrens curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that were finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? when I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical (符合逻辑的), complete and creative answers.Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved (参加) in a science discussion, dont jump in with “Thats right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “Thats interesting” or “Id never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.Never push a child to “think”. It doesnt make sense. Children are always thinking, without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.Lastly, show; dont tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.28. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the mostimportant thing for adults to do is _.A. to share the childrens curiosityB. to listen to thechildrens questionsC. to let them see the world aroundD. to give the children enough time to think29. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete andcreative way if adults _.A. wait for one or two seconds after a questionB. wait at least for three seconds after a questionC. permit them to look up the textbookD. permit them to discuss for nearly two hours30. In which paragraph does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a sciencediscussion?A.The fourth paragraphB. The fifth paragraphC. The sixth paragraph D. The last paragraph31. The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their childrens curiosity except that adults should _.A. not tell the children to thinkB. be patient enough when their children answer questionsC. give their children real-life impressionsD. tell their children stories instead of reciting factsDIf you walk slowly through downtown Helsinki（赫尔辛基）during the day, taking in the splendid 19th century buildings, white boats and noise of passing trams（有轨电车）, you will start to understand why it is called a city of two colors: white and blue.The sea is always present in Helsinki. When you take a walk over the great open space of the central square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the tram, suddenly and unexpectedly, you are faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki do not rush about as in other cities. Instead, they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by.A usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by the boats. You will walk by the elderly women selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a beautiful park. You may enjoy a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram. Trams are the perfect way to get around in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres, churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets, you may have a slightly sad film feeling to it.The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the waterfront（滨水区）of the city after sunset, you couldnt help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming seabirds and leaving fishing boats.However, in some way, Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will surely want to visit the white Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely popular cafes and design stores.32Helsinki is called a city of two colors mainly because of the colors of its_.Aold buildings, boats and the seaBparks, seabirdsand 19th century buildingsCtrams ,seabirds and 19th century buildingsDthe waterfront and trams33The best way to see most of Helsinki is to go _.Aby busBby water Cby walking Dby tram34The 19th century buildings, the white Glass Palace, popular cafes and design shops in Helsinki all show that Helsinki is _.Aboth excellent and peaceful Bboth quiet and traditionalCboth beautiful and fashionable Dboth historical and modern35This passage is most likely to be found in _.Aa history textbook Ba travel magazineCthe newspaper Da geography textbook第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips on how to save moneyIts important for you teenagers to know how to save money.
