Although the company is trying to present itself as a health-conscious company, you cant really say that drinking cola is healthy for you. Still, we all drink cola, some more and some less, and we tell ourselves that its all okay as long as we dont overdo it. However, Coca-Cola has other functions besides drinking.Cola removes the tarnish(暗锈) from old pennies. Got some old rusty pennies? Not to worry! Put them inside a glass of cola and let them rest for a while. When you get them out, youll have shiny pennies that will look as if they were coined a couple of days ago. If you couldnt clean those pennies with industrial acids, just buy a can of cola and let it do its magic!You can remove gum（口香糖） from your hair with cola. If youve got gum stuck in your hair and dont know a better way to get it out, dont worry, you wont have to cut it. Just pour some cola into a bowl and dip the part of your hair with gum on it inside. Leave it for a couple of minutes and then simply wipe off the gum.You can make an exploding fountain. You probably know about this one. You can make an exploding fountain by putting a mint(薄荷糖) inside a two-liter bottle. Then move away from the bottle and get ready for a Coca-Cola explosion. This is a fun thing to do, but it is also a warning dont eat a mint and drink cola at the same time, because a similar thing could happen to your stomach.24What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 imply?A.The expense of Coca-Cola is low.B Coca-Cola is safe for people to drinkC. .Coca-Cola enjoys great popularity.D.Coca-Cola is easier to get than drinkable water.25What can cola be used to do?A. .Dissolve the gum.

Some of the strangest uses of Coca-Cola.B.Why Coca-Cola is popular among the young.C.Why we cant drink Coca-Cola too often.D. The major ingredients of Coca-Cola.CHippos（河马）have always attracted peoples interest. Modern hippos in Walt Disney movies can dance lightly. A stone hippo in a 13th-century church in France has wings. And in ancient Egyptian fairy tales, the hippo was a goddess that guided the dead to the afterworld.Despite their popular appeal, hippos, as well as other animals, have difficulty when their needs conflict with those of humans. The early Egyptians liked to hunt hippos for their teeth and because they were dangerous animals. Amulets（护身符）to protect babies from demons（恶魔）were made from hippo bones.About 4,000 years ago, there were so many hippos in Egypt that they caused serious crop damage. Egyptian farmers killed them routinely, and by the beginning of the 19th century, all the hippos in Africa had been killed.People used to see hippos fight in the arenas（角斗场）of ancient Rome. After the fall of the Roman Empire, hippos werent seen in Europe again until a few zoos began to exhibit them in the mid 1800s.All the various uses and abuses of hippos through the centuries have made their population fall greatly. Where they do occur, mostly in national parks, they live in such high density that they make the grasslands bare. This causes other grass-eating animals to go farther for food, and hippos, which cant live far from water, destroy their own feeding grounds.28. In Africa, hippos became extinct _.A. around the 1850sB. in the early 19th centuryC. about 4,000 years agoD. in the 13th century29. Apart from protecting crops, whats the main reason for people to kill hippos?A. To save other animals.B. To follow the routine established by the Egyptians.C. To look for guidance after death.D. To satisfy personal demands.30. The underlined word in the last paragraph can be replaced by _.A. level B. altitude C. concentration D. temperature31. What problems do hippos lead to?A. They eat up the grass in their habitats.B. They always destroy other animals food.C. They stop other animals from drinking water. D. They grow too quickly for the land to support.DThe English expect each other to observe the rules of queuing(排队), feel highly offended(冒犯) when these rules are broken, but lack the confidence or social skills to express their annoyance in a straightforward manner. In other countries, this is not a problem: in America, where a queue-jumper has committed a kind of rudeness rather than a sin(罪过), the response is a loud warning: the offender is simply told “Hey, you, get back in line!” or words to that effect. On the European continent, the reaction tends to be loud and argumentative; in some other parts of the world, queue-jumpers are likely to get away with the offense. Only rarely do the English actually speak up and tell the jumper to go to the back of the queue.Queuing is almost a national pastime for the English, who automatically arrange themselves into orderly lines at bus stops, shop counters, ice-cream vans, entrances, exits and lifts.In 1946, a Hungarian humorist described queuing as English “national passion”. “On the continent,” he said, “if people are waiting at a bus stop they walk around in a seemingly relaxed fashion. When the bus arrives they run towards it quickly An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.” In an update over thirty years later in 1977 he confirmed that this was still the case. After nearly another thirty years nothing much seems to have changed.In many case in Britain, queue-jumping is effectively prevented by non-verbal signals alone. When someone is considering jumping a queue, the queuers will start looking at him sideways, through narrowed, suspicious eyes. Then they move a bit closer to the person in front of them, just in case the jumper might try to insert himself in the gap. Frowns, glares and raised eyebrowsaccompanied by heavy sighs, pointed coughsare usually the worst that the person will suffer if he jumps a queue. Faced with all this the jumper will think better of it and retreat to the back of the queue.32. According to paragraph 1, in England, queue-jumping is .A. a common practice in many public placesB. a serious social problem in modern timesC. tolerated though it is considered highly offensiveD. warned and prevented by shouting and pushing.33. By quoting the description of a Hungarian humorist, the author intends to show .A. Englishmen are stubborn and too strict with themselvesB. queuing is a kind of automatic behavior for EnglishmenC. other Europeans are more open-minded than EnglishmanD. queuing is essential in keeping the public in order34. According to the author, queue-jumping can usually be stopped .A. by shouting and loud warning B. by using body language that shows annoyanceC. with a confident and aggressive attitudeD. with signs of public rules35. What is the authors tone in writing this passage?A. Indifferent.B. .Objective.C. HumorousD.
