This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂). If you have a bunch of small rusty objects, put them in coke overnight and give them a good scrub in the morning. Coke helps to break down the rust, making cleaning much easier. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.Like the previous item, the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is especially useful for car windows. Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window, then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink. As coke is full of sugar, you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time, one can of coke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down. If you have been sprayed, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke wait for a few minutes, then wash yourself with a shower. Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom. The black is almost impossible to remove; this is caused by over-cooking. To remove the black and renew your pot, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat. After an hour or so, wash the pot as normal.24What does the underlined word scrub” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AStart.BCleaning.CShake.DExample.25What is important while using coke to clean car windows?AUse a dry cloth.BRub the window lightly.CDont pour too much coke.DClean the sugary matter completely.26For which purpose does coke have to be mixed with other material?ATo get rid of the black on the pot.BTo break down the rust,CTo remove smells.DTo clean windows.27What type of writing is this text? AAn advertisement.BA practical guide.CA news report.DA review.CBethany Burke was packing for a family vacation when she glanced in the mirror and froze. She saw a small ugly red bump in the middle of her forehead“Thats the worst,” she remembers thinking. She had no idea, however, how much worse it would get.Bethany, a 15-year-old high school student tried to forget about the bump as she boarded a flight from her hometown of Austin, Texas, to Portland, Oregon. But during the flight the bump grew and grew.After the plane landed, more bumps appeared, including one close to her eye. Her parents took her to the nearest emergency room. As it turns out, Bethany had been attacked by a superbug (超级病菌).Superbugs were once a problem only in hospitals and nursing homes. In the past decade, though, they have been affecting healthy children and adults as well. In a few hours, they can cause life-threatening infections.“Teens, especially student athletes, can be easily hurt because superbugs stay in warm, damp places where people come into close contact with each other, such as school locker rooms and gyms,” says Dr. Aaron Glatt, an infectious disease specialist. “If you get cut playing sports, and you come into contact with a superbug on a mat, you give it a way to get in,” he explains.As for Bethany, she says the doctor didnt seem too concerned“He just handed me this pill, an antibiotic (抗生素),” Bethany says. “He gave us the impression that it was going to clear up very fast.”It didnt take long for Bethany to realize the antibiotics the doctor had given her werent working. One of the bumps grew so large that she could no longer open her eye, and her pain increasedHer parents rushed her to another hospital. The new medicines seemed to start working. Her fever dropped, and the bumps stopped growing.Luckily for Bethany, there were still three powerful antibiotics that together were able to fight off her infection. But what happens when superbugs become resistant even to those drugs? For doctors, thats the biggest worry.28Bethany discovered a bump on her forehead .Aafter the plane for Portland landedBwhen she came back from a vacationCwhen she was preparing for a vacationDafter she boarded a flight from Austin29Student athletes are likely to be attacked by superbugs partly because .Athey sweat a lotBthey are often tiredCthey are healthy and strongDthey often wear dirty clothes30How did Bethany feel after taking the pills given by the doctor in the nearest emergency room?AEven worse.BMuch better.CA little better.DAs terrible as before.31Doctors are most worried that .Aantibiotics are being overusedBteens are being attacked by superbugsCsuperbugs may become resistant to all drugsDmore people will get infected with superbugsDIn the US, speaking more than one language fluently is not very common except in Los Angeles, California. The city has one of the largest populations in the US of young people between the ages of 18 and 34. More than half of them in Los Angeles are bilingual(会两种语言的), which means they speak more than one language.Maria Elena Burgos, a mother of two American born daughters, is cooking a Mexican breakfast. She says making Mexican food is just one of the many traditions in her home. Another is speaking Spanish to her children. “We want to keep the Spanish somewhere in their learning too, not only at home.” She says being bilingual will give them more opportunities in the future. Knowing Spanish also means the children can talk with their relatives in Mexico.Msburgos daughters both want to know their familys culture. “We are doing this in order to go back to our roots because thats part of who we are.” they say.The US Census Bureau says more than half the adults in the Los Angeles area between 18 and 34 years old speak a language other than English at home. For the whole country, the number of bilingual adults is only 25 percent. The number of bilingual speakers has gone up since the 1990s.“In the past, the children and grandchildren of immigrants(移民) did not continue to speak the parents native language. But now the opposite is true”, says University of California Los Angeles professor Raul Hinojosa.More immigrant parents say they want their children to keep speaking their native language. Mr. Hinojosa calls their choice the “path of pride”. The decision to keep a native language is clear in Los Angeles now. And, as the number of minorities in the US continues to grow, he thinks bilingualism will spread to the rest of the country.32What does Paragraph I mainly talk about?AAmericans arent good at language learning.BMore and more young Americans are bilingual.CYou can seldom see Americans speaking foreign languages.DMost young people in Los Angeles can speak more than one language.33Why does Ms Burgos speak Spanish to her children?ATo make them true Americans.BTo make them more competitive.CTo prepare them for immigration.DTo help them learn about Mexican food.34It can be inferred from the text that recently more people in the US _.Aspeak English very fluentlyBare proud of their new countryCare learning a second languageDforget their parents native language35According to Mr. Hinojosa,_.Athe US is on the path to bilingualismBmore people will immigrate to the USCthe population of Los Angeles will dropDmore minorities will be accepted by the US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。If you have been living away from home for quite some time, a life skills course may seem to be helpful. 36 They will help you to become a more successful adult in the future.
