24、“My dear lady,” says Holmes. “You’re shivering. Are you cold? Do you want a cup of hot tea?”

“I’m not cold,” the woman replies, “I fear for my life!”

“We are here to help you. Don’t worry about anything. I don’t know you. But I know many things about you. For example, I know how you travel. You came to London by train. You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon (马车).”

“Why, yes. You’re right. But how do you know these things?”

“I see a return ticket in your glove. I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress. Now tell us your problem.”

“My name is Helen Stoner,” she states, “My mother and father are dead. I am living with my stepfather, Dr. Grimes by Roylott. He comes from a rich family. But they are no longer rich. They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house. We are living in the house. Dr. Roylott is using my mother’s money for expenses (开支). Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages.”

“However, my sister died right before her wedding day. It was a windy and rainy day. the wind was howling outside, and the rain was beating and splashing against the windows. Suddenly, I heard scream of a woman. By the light of the corridor-lamp I saw my sister appear at the opening. I ran to her and threw my arms round her, but at that moment her knees seemed to give way and she fell to the ground. I rush to her, and she suddenly shrieked out (痛苦地喊出) in a voice which I shall never forget, ‘Oh, my God! Helen! It was the band! The speckled band!’. There was something else that she wanted to say. She pointed into the air in the direction of stepfather’s room.”

Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listening carefully to Helen’s story. He hears every detail.

Helen continues. “My stepfather has no friends. He fights with everyone. He is strong and gets angry quickly. Everyone is afraid of him.”

“He has no friends at all?” asks Holmes.

“No. He talks to no one except the gypsies. They are poor people who travel from place to place. A band of gypsies is staying on our land right now.”

“Are you and your sister afraid of the gypsies?”

“My dear Mr. Holmes. You are making me so sad. My sister is dead. That is why I am standing here in this room.”

25、Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity (自动性)”.

A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase (短语). With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.

It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.

According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount (数量) of time a child spends reading , not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.

You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable (适合) for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.

【1】“Reading is the key to school success” means that reading .

A.helps school develop faster

B.is a key to a successful school

C.helps students go to a key school

D.can improve students’ learning results

【2】Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they .

A.know how to read the words

B.do not have to think while reading

C.read by themselves without any help

D.pay attention to the meaning of the text

【3】Rossman tells that any child who will possibly be an automatic reader.

A.turns off TV one night 4 weeks

B.reads books by the word quickly

C.spends an hour reading every day

D.gets the same grades as others in exams

【4】The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “ ” in Chinese.

A.结结巴巴地读

B.全神贯注地读

C.心不在焉地读

D.声情并茂地读

【5】The best title for the passage is “ ”.

A.IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity

B.TV Is Bad for Children’s Reading

C.Automaticity Depends on Practice

D.Automatic Reads Will Be Successful

26、Apps are becoming more and more popular these days. They can help you out in almost every area of your life, such as keeping healthy, communicating with friends, or even learning a language.

However, you need to know how to use them properly. Here is what you should think about before using an app for language learning.

Learn from different sources (not just apps). Any excellent language learner will tell you that the beauty of mastering a foreign language is the world which it opens up to you. This is a world of different sources of information, from newspapers and books to TVs, radios, music and even real people. Would you learn your own language in only one way? Probably not. Why not do so in your new language?

Set up your purpose and plan your habits. Do you want to improve your new language in weeks? The best apps adapt (调整) themselves according to your timetable. These apps encourage habit-building because a successful habit helps you to learn more and better.

Make it social. No, I don’t mean putting your progress online. I mean a real social life. I made progress in Italian, thanks to the support from Jim, my partner in study time. So you can also find a friend to be with you. Taking an evening class, borrowing a book and even attending a language school are all good ways.

To be honest, the combination (组合) of apps, language schools, evening classes and books has been useful. Besides, do remember to use apps as often as you can.

【1】Why does the writer write the first paragraph?

A.To introduce some apps.

B.To describe the popularity of apps.

C.To explain the history of apps.

D.To encourage people to use apps more.

【2】The underlined word “sources” means “______” in Chinese.

A.the form in which a book is published

B.experience

C.the thing that you can get something from

D.connection

【3】Which of the following is the writer’s idea?

A.An excellent app is helpful to your language learning.

B.There are some other ways that are more useful than apps.

C.You can just depend on a good app to learn a new language.

D.Having a friend can make your language learning more interesting.

【4】What’s the structure of the passage?

A.①-②-③④⑤-⑥

B.①②③④⑤-⑥

C.①-②③④⑤⑥

D.①②-③④-⑤⑥

【5】What could be the best title for the passage?

A.How to use apps correctly.

28、   In the middle of the 1800s, France was considered the most important place in the world for a1. One reason for that was the Academy (学院), a government organization with some strict rules about art. It decided what could and could not be art. In order to be accepted by the Academy, an artist had to be very talented. Artists also had to paint exactly the way the Academy wanted them to. A brave group of painters challenged (挑战) these ideas and changed art f2.

Each year, the Academy had an exhibition of the art they had decided was the best. In 1864, a group of artists became a3 because they didn’t give into their own show. They felt that their paintings were not bad; the paintings were just different. After complaining to the government, these artists were given their own show.

The Academy thought all art should look realistic (逼真).

B4 these artists were more interested in trying to show movement and the bright colors of daylight. In their opinion, it was more real to show these than it was to paint a scene (场景) which was as still (静止的) as a photo. It was also more interesting to show all of the different colours when light hits an object like water.

By 1874, many different artists were painting in this new style, including Claude Monet. One of his paintings had the title, Impression: sunrise. A critic (评论家) didn't l5 these new artists. He used Monet’s title to make fun of these painters by calling them “impressionists (印象派)”, meaning that they didn’t make real paintings. The critics who liked these artists thought the word was just right. They began to use it happily. They thought it was more important to paint how they saw things instead o6 just what they saw. Other artists around the world felt that they could have this freedom as well. Because of the impressionists, the art world was never the s7. It is interesting and changeable.
