It was 3:21 a.m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the cracking (爆烈声) of flames somewhere below, there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin Long Island.
With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, fell down onto the lawn.
(
※※请※※不※※要※※在※※装※※订※※线※※内※※答※※题※※
)The nine-year-old boy raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room. He found it impossible to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy stayed calm and, as a fireman said later, “acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.”
On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed.
Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?
Grasping firmly a ball of string ( 线 ) from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed
upstairs to his mother’s room. Tying one end of the string to her hand, he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan, “The string will lead you to mother.” Mrs.
Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor. 24．Why did Glenn run downstairs first?
He wanted to save his sister and brother.
He wanted to find out what was happening.
He was worried about his mother’s safety.
He went to see if his father had come back from work.
Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?
A．Glenn. B．Glenn’s father.
C．Glenn’s sister. D．Glenn’s neighbor.
Glenn saved his family because .
his father had taught him to do so on the phone
he had learned something about first aid
he had dealt with the emergency calmly and wisely
he had followed his mother’s instructions 27．Where does the text probably come from ?
A．A novel B．A news story
C．A magazine D．A travel guide

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to keep the historic feeling of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic( 经 济 的 ) reasons—why they should be kept. So, let us consider that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.

)It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in, but
the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’ s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?
Some of them are not attractive.
Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?
We should reproduce the same old buildings.
Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means
Destroy old buildings
put things in a different place
choose new architectural styles
respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
What is the main purpose of the passage?
To explain why people dislike change.
To warn that we could end up living in caves.
To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.

South Africa is a multiethnic society with a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. It has 11 official languages. If you want to say hello, it's "sawubona" in Zulu, and "hallo" in Afrikaans. Now, South Africa's school children may start using "ni hao" to say hello.
The country's education minister says, the nation is adding the Mandarin (Putonghua) language teaching in some schools. Mandarin is the official spoken language of China. That country is a major
trading power for South Africa.
A recent agreement between the two nations centers on five areas of cooperation. They include development in basic education, school books and lessons, mathematics and science, teacher training and career education and research.
South Africa officials have not said how much they teaching Mandarin will cost. Troy Martens is an officials with South Africa's Ministry of Basic Education. She says the new partnership is extremely valuable.
A public opinion study last year found that South Africans have mixed feelings about China. The survey showed 46 percent of South Africans do not like the spread of Chinese ideas and customs in their country, the results also showed that 60 percent dislike Chinese music, movies and television.
But Ms Martens said Chinese trade is more important than those feelings. She said it is extremely helpful to learners in South Africa to study Mandarin as well as Chinese culture. And she said not every school will offer Mandarin.
“Now this will not be compulsory, it will not be for every school, and it will not be for every child. But for schools that feel they have the capacity to offer Mandarin as a subject, we think it is a great opportunity for South African learners to be exposed to this international type of language,” said Martens.
Lisette Noonan heads the 80-year-old Pretoria Chinese School in South Africa's capital. The school serves about 500 students from kindergarten to grade 12. Every student studies Mandarin.
Ms Noonan says the school welcomes the new cooperation between South Africa and China. She said it is in the best interests of children to study Mandarin. She said that especially true with China becoming what she called “a huge economic power in the world.”
We can learn from Paragraph 1 that .
South Africa introduces Mandarin into its school curriculum
South Africa has 11 official languages
"ni hao"is easy to say than other languages
students in school must speak all official languages
The underlined words “the new partnership” in Paragraph 4 refers to .
A. a recent agreement about trading cooperation B. five areas of cooperation in education
C. teaching official languages D. career education and research 34．From Paragraph 5,we can know that .
South Africans are familiar with Chinese music, movies and television
all South Africans aren't interested in Chinese ideas and customs
the spread of Chinese ideas and customs is popular among South Africans
Chinese culture has a great influence on South Africans 35．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
Every school in South Africa will offer Mandarin to their students.
60 percent of South Africans want to learn Mandarin.
It's 80 years since Pretoria Chinese School in South Africa's capital opened.
Mr.Noonan isn't interested in the new cooperation between South Africa and China.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。China was once known as the kingdom of bicycles. 36 Last year, more bicycles were sold than cars in many European countries, according to the BBC.
37 It reduces both traffic Jams and pollution, and is great for our health. Of course, Rome wasn't built in a day. The popularity of cycling in many European countries is greatly due to bike-friendly policies（政策）.
As the traditional “cycling capital” in Northern Europe, Copenhagen's roads keep bicycles and
motor vehicles separated as much as possible. On these routes, there are pre-green lights for cyclists. These kinds of bicycle traffic lights turn green a few seconds before car traffic lights do. 38. For people living far from city centers, getting to work by bicycle alone may take a long time. That's why Copenhagen allows cyclists to bring their bicycles onto subway trains.
At Dutch schools, students must attend cycling lessons. Children aged 12 can ride on the roads very well. Cycle lanes are also designed to be wide enough for children to ride alongside adults. In Amsterdam, people can hire a bike from almost anywhere in the city. 40.
In Beijing, there are also similar policies to hire bikes. Do you see them in your city?
Bike rental companies can be found near busy areas.
Cycling is a safe, clean and cheap way to get around the city.
Shared bikes are gaining popularity in China.
It gives the cyclists time to avoid traffic while crossing.
In European countries, bicycles are often regarded as a tool for exercising.
But countries in Europe also match China's love for bicycles.
The Dutch have also had good ideas that make cycling safer and more inviting.

Recently, COVID-19 has transmitted all over China even the world. To order to fight against the virus, we students in China had to study at home on computers instead of going to school for two months.
On the one hand, online learning could save time so that we did more other things like taking up new hobbies. Besides, after class, we could watch the video again and review the part which we didn’t understand. On the other hand, online learning increased the time length of facing the computer time which is harmful to our health. Moreover, sometimes I would cheat in class. In fact ,I was playing computer games while learning!
Now It feels really good to be back to school. We are in a race against time with so much work to do, so I can’t afford to lose any minute. Meanwhile, we need to protect ourselves against infection by developing a habit of washing our hands frequently, wearing antiseptic masks and doing proper amount of sports , which will certainly make us stronger.
We are sure to get through this, as long as we do what we are supposed to.
