They asked if we had any spare change （零钱）. My mom right away asked where they livedThey pointed to an old car in a parking lot across the street. The girl said there were six of them living in that carMy mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars. She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings （兄弟姐妹）. But she didnt comeLater，I found out she had gone home and put all the food in our cupboards （食橱） into a few bagsThen，she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the familyI wasnt there when that happened，but I can only imagine the joy it brought to those people A few days later, when I actually found out about what she had done, I asked her why she helped those people. She told me that they were not lucky. I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change. She was the same age as me, yet we looked so different Here I stood，dressed in almost new clothes, headed to eat in a restaurant and then back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister. I remember thinking that the other girl didnt have any food to eat and she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people After painting this picture in my mind, I understood why my mom had done what she did. I will never forget what she did that night, and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned24. From the passage, we can know the writers mother was _ A. humorousB. determinedC. kind-heartedD. selfish25. From Paragraph 2, we can learn that _ A. the poor family had no place to liveB. the poor girl was older than the authorC. the writers mother didnt know how to cookD. the poor girl lived near the restaurant26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？ _A. It was a winter morning when the story happenedB. There were six people in the writers familyC.

How to support a poor familyB. A friend in need is a friend in deedC. The hard life of a little girls familyD. A lesson in kindness from my MumCEverybody hates rats（big mice）. But in the earthquake capitals of the world Japan, Los Angeles， Turkey - rats will soon be mans best friends What happens after an earthquake？We send in rescue dogs, why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they cant get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat How does it work？First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rats brain gives a signal（信号）. This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signalsWhen the rats brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University，New York， says， Robots noses dont work well when there are other smells aroundRats are good at that Rats can also see in the dark They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs， and unlike robots, they dont need electricity! The rat project is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Organization in Scotland says， It would be wonderful. A rat could get into spaces we couldnt get to, and a rat would get out if it wasnt safe Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building（but only after an earthquake, of course.）29. Why will rats become mans best friends in the world earthquake capitals？ _A. Because they can take the place of mans rescue jobsB. Because they can find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC. Because they can serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD. Because they can get into small spaces30. From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person who is alive by _ A. the noise made by the ratB. the rats unusual behaviourC. the signal sent by the radio on the rats backD. the smell given off by the person31. Which of these statements is NOT the advantage that rats have？ _A. They are more lovely than other animalsB. They are less expensive to train than dogsC. They dont need electricityD. They are small and can get into small places32. What can we infer from the passage？ _A. At present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for peopleB. The rat project has been completedC. People are now happy to see a rat in a buildingD. Now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescuesDWith the Chinese language growing in popularity, the UK government plans to invest(投资) 10 million pounds to help more kids learn Mandarin(普通话). Do you think it is necessary for the UK pupils to learn Mandarin? Some people share their opinions online.Ted(UK): The learning of any language can be valuable and rewarding, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn and the UK has a poor reputation for teaching foreign languages. Why should they learn Chinese when most people in the world speak English?Mark(US): I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college. I studied Mandarin informally for about 4 months before moving to China. Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife doesnt speak English. But it is far from being fluent. Learning additional languages is a great thing, which offers a different perspective on the world around us. Nowadays, its almost necessary to be able to speak more than just your native tongue.George (UK): No, unless theyre taught from a very early stage of childhood. Mandarin is so difficult. If China really is going to dominate the world, itll have to do so by speaking the worlds dominant language-English.Sam (UK): I dont think Chinese will become as widely spoken throughout the world as English. It is too difficult to learn as a second language. To learn Chinese you completely have to devote yourself to learning how to write and read it. If you have to learn it besides other subjects you cant be good at it. But Chinese will become more popular, and that is a good thing.33. What is probably Marks main motivation（动机）for learning Chinese?A. Further educationB. Effective communicationC. His frequent travelD. The official policy34. What does Sam think of learning Chinese?A. Its necessary.B. Its of little use.C. It takes too much time.D. Its not popular.35. What seems to be the major problem when foreigners try to learn Chinese?A. Its difficulty as a language B. Misunderstanding about ChinaC. The great popularity of English D.
