24、One morning, Wu Liang discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was so excited about it for the first two days that she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”
Li Yu liked it, too. “Group members first discuss,” he said, “and then present to the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” This was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to offer students easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes to improve students’ abilities to study by themselves and work in groups.” said Zhang Ming, an English teacher.
However, the reform has demanded more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give a lesson that would have been taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.
“The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful.” added Zhang Ming.
【1】It was easier for Wu Liang to _____ in class after the new classroom arrangement.
A. discuss with other students
B. sit in the classroom

25、What is the first thing you want to do when you see someone yawn(打哈欠)? You want to yawn, too! Yawning is contagious.
Scientists have found that all people yawn. Babies start to yawn even before they are born. The earliest yawn takes place when a baby is still inside its mother. When young children are about one year old, they start to yawn when they see others yawning. That's why scientists seem to think yawning is contagious.
It’s no secret that yawning is contagious, but why do we yawn? Well, scientists are not really sure.
Some think we yawn because we feel bored. Recently scientists studied two groups of students between the ages of 17 and 19. One group watched music videos, and the other watched a boring color test. Scientists compared the numbers of their yawns and found that the color test group yawned more times than the video group.
Another reason about yawning has to do with breathing. Some scientists believe that when we are bored or tired, we breathe more slowly. As our breathing slows down, we cannot get rid of(去除) enough carbon dioxide (CO2) in our bodies. When there is too much carbon dioxide, our bodies will tell the brains (大脑) to breathe deeply. The result is a big yawn.
In 2007, scientists suggested a new reason. They said that the reason people yawned was to cool down their brains. These scientists found that people who were warmer than others yawned more often.
Scientists are still trying to find out why yawning happens and why it is so contagious. But they are only sure that when one person yawns, almost everyone else nearby wants to yawn, too.
【1】According to the scientists, people start to yawn when they are .
A. born
B. inside their mothers
C. 17 or 19 years old
D. one year old
【2】Which of the following are the possible reasons about yawning according to the passage?
People yawn because they are bored.
People yawn to catch others' attention.
People yawn to cool down their brains.
People yawn to get rid of carbon dioxide.
A. B. C. D.
【3】We can probably read this passage in a _ _.
A. story book B. travel guidebook
C. science magazine D. movie poster
26、 Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）
In the 1920s, scientists found a collection of bones near Beijing,China. They believed that the bones were human and that they were about 500,000 years old. They also believed the bones were important because they were form a little-known stage in the evolution of human beings.
The bones were kept in Beijing until 1941. Then because the Japanese army was advancing towards the city, the scientists decided to send the bones to the US for safety.
Dr Harry L.Shapiro, former Professor of Anthropology（人类学）at Columbia University, has been searching for them ever since. He believes they were stolen by the American army officer whose job was to take them to the US. He could be right.
After the war, a Chicago businessman offered $5,000 to anybody with information about the bones. A woman phoned him and told him she knew where the bones were. He arranged to meet her on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building in New York. They met and she told him that her husband had come home from China with fossils（化石）of a prehistoric（of the time before recorded history）man. She showed him photographs of them. Then she walked away and was never heard from again.
A few years later, however, a Sydney businessman reported that he had the bones and that he had buried them in a forest in Tasmania. He offered to say where for a large sum of money. Then he, too, was never heard from again. Someone, somewhere, has the bones but nobody seems to know who or where.
【1】How old were the bones thought to be?
A.Five thousand years old. B.Fifty thousand years old.
C.About half a million years old. D.A million years old.
【2】The scientists thought the bones were important because ________.
A.they were human B.they were found on a state
C.they had a history of 50,000 years D.they were from an important evolution period
【3】Why were the bones sent to the USA?
A.Because Americans liked collecting old things.
B.Because the bones might fall into the hands of Japanese invaders.
C.Because they could be sold for a lot of money.
D.because the Chinese didn't need them.
【4】What happened to the Chicago businessman when a person contacted him about the bones?
A.He made friends with the woman. B.He only talked to her on the phone.
C.He has never been heard from again. D.He met her and saw the photos of some bones.
【5】What happened a few years later?
A.A Sydney businessman offered to buy them for much money.
B.Nobody heard anything more about them.
C.A Sydney businessman took them to a forest in Tasmania.
D.An Australian said they were buried in Tasmania.
【6】From the passage we can conclude that ________.
A.the woman was sure to know where the bones were B.the bones have not been returned to China
C.the bones must have been in the Australian's hands D.the Sydney businessman must have told a lie
27、If you were asked what your body is made of, probably you would say that it is made of flesh(肉体) and bones and covered with skin. You also know something about the blood which flows through it, and that there is a very important part which we call the brain.
But the flesh and the bones make up the largest part of the body, and there is a good deal to be learned about them. You know the general appearance of both flesh and bone from the parts of animals which you see in the butcher’s shop.
Bone is hard, and of a white color; indeed, it looks more like a piece of wood or stone than a part of a living animal. But bone is a real part of the living body, and it grows and is nourished (滋养)just as the body is. If a man breaks the bone of his arm or his leg, it is firmly bound up, to prevent the broken parts from moving out of the proper places, and in time then bone grows together again and becomes quite strong.
The bones are fastened together by various kinds of joints(关节). They form the framework of the body, and give it strength to retain its proper shape. This framework is called the skeleton(骨架). Some animals, such as worms and slugs, have no skeleton; and others, such as shellfish, have a kind of hard covering or skeleton outside.
The most important part of the skeleton is the backbone. It is so important that naturalists divide all animals into two classes,--- those which have a backbone and those which have none. All the higher animals, including man, have a backbone, or vertebral column as it is called. They are therefore called vertebrate （脊椎的）animals. The others are called invertebrate animals.
【1】What’s our body made of?
A. Flesh
B. Flesh and bones.
C. Flesh, bones and flood.
D. Flesh, bones, flood and brain.
【2】Where can we see flesh and bones from the parts of animals?
A. In the bookshop. B In the butchers’ shop.
C. At home. D. In the shopping mall
【3】Why should the bones bound up firmly if they were broken?
A.To make the bones strong
B. To protect our arms and legs
C. To fasten the joints.
D. To prevent the broken parts from moving out of the proper places.
【4】 From the passage, we know higher animals are called .
A. backbone B. human beings
C. vertebrate animals D. skeleton

阅读下列短文，根据短文信息完成文后表格，每空一词。
Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is， the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking， Although I’m a shy man， I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned：
Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas， and they can only remember one or two of them， not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say， then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say， your audience won’t， either.
Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is， you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin， what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的)： the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not， they will be confused.
Keep your speech not long. The standard length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time， which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应)，the audience will get bored. Of course， your speech will fail.
Following these suggestions above， you can make a good speech in public， and you will be an excellent speaker， I think.
