24、Almost everyone has dropped some food on the floor and still wanted to eat it. If someone saw you drop it, he or she might have shouted, “ 5-second rule!” This so–called rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less. But is that true?

Professor Anthony Hilton from Ashton University, UK, tested the rule with his students. They found that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria(细菌) than if it sits there for longer.

For the study, Hilton and his students tested a lot of foods——bread, pasta, cookies and candy—to see how much bacteria they had when they made contact with the floor. They allowed the food to lie on the different types of flooring—carpet(地毯), laminate (复合地板) and tile(瓷砖) — for three seconds to 30 seconds.

Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had. And the type of floor where the dropped food landed had an effect. Bacteria are least likely to transfer(转移) from carpet, while they are most likely to transfer laminate or tiled surface after more than five seconds.

The study also found that the wetter the food, the more likely it was to pick up bacteria. Although most people are happy to follow the 5-second rule, eating food dropped on the floor still carries an infection(感染) risk. “It very much depends on which bacteria are on the floor at the time.” Hilton told Forbes.

【1】What is the “5-second rule’ mean?

A. People often shout at someone when they drop food on the floor.

B. Food is safe when you pick it up off the floor in less than five seconds.

C. It’s better to eat dropped food when it’s been on the floor for over five seconds.

D. Food will go bad when dropped food on the floor in five seconds or less.

【2】Where is Ashton University?

A. In the USA. B. In England.

C. In China.   D. In France.

【3】Hilton’s test wanted to find out____________.

A. if the “5-second rule” is true

B. the students’ favorite food

C. which food is easily dropped

D. if different types of floor have different bacteria

【4】According to the test, we learn the following EXCEPT ________.

A. the dropped food had more bacteria if it sat on the floor for longer.

B. the dropped food on the carpet had the least bacteria.

C. bacteria was impossible to transfer from laminate or tiled surfaces.

D. the wetter food was likely to pick up bacteria.

【5】According to the article, the infection risk of the dropped does NOT depend on _____________.

A. how long the food sits on the floor

B. what the dropped food is

C. what the bacteria are

D. what the weather is like that day

25、Ruling the pool

On Oct 23, Chinese swimmer Qin Haiyang got the title (称号) of the Best Male Swimmer of the Year 2023. He got the award just one day after he won the Swimming World Cup Overall Male Award. 【1】

People call Qin the “King of Breaststroke (蛙泳之王)” for his breaststroke achievements in 2023. 【2】 At the World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, the 24-year-old broke five Asian records and became the first swimmer in history to win all three breaststroke golds at a single edition (单届).

【3】 It’s harder to swim fast because all the strokes (划水) in breaststroke happen under the water. This makes the water push back on the swimmer more, and it takes a lot of skill to swim well. “Even a small change in how you move your hands can make you swim faster or slower, I only need one to swim as far as they do.”

Even though Qin has won many awards, he is still modest. 【4】 “I’m just a breaststroke swimmer,” Qin said.

A．Breaststroke is not easy.

B．Qin keeps working hard to swim faster.

C．So he doesn’t want people to call him King of Breaststroke.

D．He won all 23 gold medals in breaststroke in the big competitions.

E．These are two very important achievements for Chinese swimming.

27、

Should we be afraid of sharks? Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks(攻击)suggests that sharks don't like the way humans taste! In fact, most people who are attacked by the shark are still alive after receiving only one bite(咬). Why is this?

There are many opinions to explain why sharks sometimes attack people. One opinion is that sharks are just curious. We know that sharks are the strongest animals in their environment, so they are not afraid of anything. Naturally, that means they are curious when they meet something unusual. Because they don’t have hands or feet, the only way they can find out an object is to bite it! It is thought that sharks sometimes bite humans for this reason, and then swim away.

Scientists also say that sharks would not waste energy trying to eat a human, as we have a lot of bones (骨头). It is hard for a shark to eat us because sharks don’t have hands, and they can't pull the meat off our bones. Maybe that's why they only bite us once. Unluckily, one bite from a large shark is serious enough to hurt people greatly!

Another opinion is that sharks attack humans by mistake. Some sharks may sometimes mistake humans for seals. An example of this is when a shark attacks a surfer. A surfer lying on a surfboard looks like a seal when seen from below. Sharks like seals because they have thick fat.

Whatever the reason for shark attacks on humans, sharks should be afraid of us. Sadly, we kill almost 40 million of them each year.

【1】What does “curious” in the second paragraph mean in Chinese?

A.害怕的 B.好奇的 C.兴奋的

【2】How do sharks find out an unusual object according to the passage?

A.By biting. B.By smelling. C.By touching.

【3】What happens to people attacked by sharks?

A.Most of them die. B.Most of them are still alive. C.Most of them become strong

【4】Which sentence about sharks is TRUE?

A.Sharks pull meat off bones when they eat.

B.Sharks might mistake humans for seals.

C.Sharks like to attack surfers because of their thick fat.

【5】What is the purpose of the passage?

A.To tell surfers to stay away from sharks.

B.To ask people to stop killing sharks.

C.To let us know the reasons for shark attacks on people.

“Do you have your costume (装扮) for the Harvest Fest (丰收节) competition?” Meg asked.

“I have one—Magnifico, my favourite hero,” said Jordan, sitting in his wheelchair (轮椅). “But it’s boring.” Meg shrugged. “You love Magnifico. What’s the matter?”

“Danny and Alex are going as Magnifico, too.” Jordan shook his head. “It’s ________ for me to win.”

Meg said, “Maybe you should go as something different.”

“The competition is Friday night. It’s too late to change costumes,” Jordan sighed.

Back at home, Jordan was quiet, thinking about Meg’s words ________. When he pulled into Mom’s home office, he saw papers and books everywhere. “What are all these?” he asked.

“I’m cleaning out my old desk. The new one is arriving tomorrow.” She smiled at Jordan. “What’s on your mind?”

Jordan explained the costume situation. “I really want to be the ________.”

“We have lots of old clothes and costumes. Why not take a look?” Mom ________.

“Jordan, you have to think outside the box,” said Meg. “See what you have around your house. There’s hidden potential (潜能) in everyday items. My candy-bar costume is made from recycled aluminum foil.”

“What do you think?” Mom asked, pointing to her desk. Jordan’s eyes fell on the ________. He smiled. “It’s perfect!”

On Friday night, Jordan was fully prepared for the competition. When Danny and Alex saw Jordan, they couldn’t believe his costume.

“The Magnifico Mobile?” Danny’s eyes lit up. “The wheels of your wheelchair are perfect for its back wheels.” He wondered how Jordan made it.

Jordan beamed. “Thanks! I got the idea from a box.”
