The expert shook his head. He worried that young men wouldn’t have the patience to learn. In his opinion, they were always in a hurry. The young man asked the expert many times to let him have a try. Finally the expert said, “Be here tomorrow.” The next morning the expert put a jade (翡翠) stone in the man’s hand and told him to hold it. The expert then went about his work, cutting, weighing and setting gems. The man sat and waited excitedly. The following morning the expert again placed the jade stone in the man’s hand and told him to hold it. On the third, fourth, and fifth day the expert repeated the action. On the sixth day the young man still had to hold the jade stone, but he could no longer stand the silence. “Sir,” he asked “You will learn,” the expert replied. Several more days went by. The man became more and more impatient. However, when the expert placed a stone in his hand one morning, the young man shouted without looking at it, “This is not the same jade stone!” “You have begun to learn,” the expert said with a smile. 26．How long did the man hold the jade stone without asking anything? A．For three days. B．For five days. C．For seven days. D．For half a month. 27．Why did the expert ask the man to hold a stone for days? A．It was a way of learning. B．He was too busy to teach the man. C．It was all that he could give the man. D．There was no other work for the man to do. 28．How did the young man’s feeling change? A．worried → unhappy → nervous. B．worried → nervous → unhappy. C．excited → nervous → worried. D．excited → unhappy → surprised. 29．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．A real expert on gems. B．Some good learning habits. C．The importance of patience. D．The secret to learning quickly. B Do you know the numbers 0-9 well? They are numbers in Arabic numerals (阿拉伯数字). People use them to mark numbers now. But it’s not the only number system that people use. About 2, 500 years ago, people in Rome used their hands to count. In Roman numerals, one finger means 1, two fingers mean 2, three fingers mean 3, four fingers means 4. If you want to say five, you can keep your four fingers close on one side and your thumb on the other side. Make both of your hands be five, then you’ll have ten. So in Rome, I, II, III, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X. Also, “L”means fifty, “C” means one hundred, “D” means five hundred and “M” means one thousand. But there is no zero in Rome numerals. Today, few people use them because they are difficult to write and count. But we can still see them on some watches and clocks. Today, most people use the Arabic numerals. They are easy to remember and write. They help people to count things every day. In fact, Indians first created and used the Arabic numerals. In the late 8th century, people in Arabic countries learned about them. Then the Arabic people took them into Europe. So people in Europe called them Arabic numerals. Today people around the world use Arabic numerals and they help a lot. 30．Which of the following means five in Roman numerals? A．5. B．IV. C．V. D．X. 31．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Arabic numerals. B．Watches and clocks. C．Zero. D．Roman numerals. 32．What do we know about Arabic numerals? A．People in Rome don’t use them. B．Arabic people taught the Indians about them. C．Only Arabic people use them today. D．“0” means “zero” in Arabic numerals. 33．Where is this passage probably taken from? A．Diary. B．History book. C．Travel guide. D．Sports magazine. C Do Animals Really Sleep for Winter? For people who don’t like winter, animals that hibernate (冬眠) seem to have the right idea. But is hibernation the same as sleeping? Well, in fact, animals that hibernate don’t “sleep” during the winter. Hibernation is very different from what happens when you sleep. During hibernation, metabolism (新陈代谢) slows down greatly. When lemurs (狐猴) hibernate, for example, they slow their heart rates. An active lemur’s heart beats 300 times a minute. During hibernation, it beats less than six times a minute. Its breathing slows down, too. Hibernating lemurs can go ten minutes without taking a breath. Their brain activity becomes very slow. During sleep, however, animals continue to breathe as usual. According to scientists, hibernation is a way for animals to save energy. However, animals that live in cold areas are not the only ones to hibernate. Some animals hibernate to beat the heat. For some, hibernation is not because of temperatures (气温). Some animals hibernate when there is no food. Echidnas (针鼹), for example, will hibernate after fires. They won’t go back to usual activities until food grows back. Some animals hibernate to stay safe. Animals don’t smell or move much when they hibernate. This makes it hard for other animals to find them and eat them. There are many mammals (哺乳动物) that hibernate. Most of them are small—weigh less than 90 grams. Little animals usually lose heat quickly. It is hard for them to stay warm in winter, so they need to save more energy than larger animals do. We human beings don’t need hibernation. So, don’t be lazy and lie in bed all day long during the coming winter holiday! 34．According to the article, during hibernation, animals ________. A．lose weight B．stop breathing C．slow down their brain activity D．breathe quickly 35．The author uses the example of echidnas to show that ________. A．hibernation is different from sleeping B．most mammals don’t need hibernation C．during hibernation, metabolism slows down D．hibernation isn’t always because of temperatures 36．According to the article, mammals that hibernate are usually ________. A．small in size B．young in age C．tall in height D．heavy in weight 37．By writing this article, the author mainly wants to ________. A．tell people more about hibernation B．prevent young people from getting lazy C．explain why human beings don’t need hibernation D．list the differences between hibernation and sleeping D Inventions That Make Your Life Easier LynQGetting separated (分开的) from friends or a family member at a music festival can be a real headache.
