Ranjan and Sumer were good friends. They went to the same school and were in the same class.
Ranjan was not strong. He could not play football or other games with boys of his age. All that he did was to watch Sumer and other boys play. He usually went with them to the playground. When they ran off to play, he would sit under a tree and read storybooks. Books became his best friends. The reading made him successful in all the exams. He always stood first in the class.
Sumer was tall and strong. He spent most of his time running, swimming or riding bicycles. He was an extremely good player in every game. He was a member of the school’s football team and cricket team. The PE teacher thought he would make it big in the game when he grew up.
One day, the two friends went for a walk. Ranjan got tired soon.
“I have no strength. What is the use of all this knowledge if I am not healthy? I would give away all my knowledge if I could be half as healthy and strong as you,” said Ranjan.
Sumer was surprised and replied, “So you are not happy with yourself either? I always wished I could have done as well as you did in the studies. I even thought I could have given away my sporting skills for better grades in those exams.”
The two friends looked at each other and cried out at the same time. “The grass looks greener on the other side of the hill.”
24. What did Ranjan usually do when he went to the playground with Sumer?
A. He read his favorite books. B. He played with his friend.
C. He studied for the exam. D. He took care of the clothes.
25. Why did the PE teacher think Sumer might become a sports star?
A. Sumer was very strong. B. Sumer was good at doing sports.
C. Sumer was very tall. D. Sumer spent a lot of time playing sports.
26. What can we learn from Paragraph 6?
A. Ranjan was proud of his knowledge.
B. Sumer could do as well as Ranjan did in the studies.
C. Sumer was unhappy with his studies.
D. Ranjan and Sumer decided to learn from each other.

Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing. Their designers say with these robots, rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
This robot, looking like a helicopter, is called the detector (探测器) bot. At about 4 metres long, it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main functions are to collect information from the air, and deliver goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake.
This robot is equipped with a high 360- degree panoramic (全景的) camera. It can work day and night and also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr Qi Juntong, from Chinese Academy of Sciences, said, “The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn’t need distant control. We just set the information on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 metres, and as fast as 100 kilometres per hour.”
This robot has a different function—it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers can’t go.
The robot is equipped with a camera that can work in the dark, as well as a detector that not only finds people, but can also detect poisonous gas.
Another use for the rescuers is the supply bot, with its 10- metre- long pipe. People trapped in the ruins will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
Experts have said that the robots will be produced, and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.
28. We can learn from the passage that the earthquake rescue robot ______.
A. can send pictures even at night B. is designed to predict the earthquake
C. is unable to deliver goods D. can be used to clear away poisonous gas
29. According to Dr. Qi Juntong, the earthquake rescue robot ______.
A. has a unique shape
B. has more functions
C. is equipped with more advanced cameras
D. can work by itself once given the information
30. The robot can find people in an earthquake with the help of ______.
A. a remote control B. a detector
C. a long pipe D. a helicopter
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Some information about earthquakes.
B. How to build earthquake rescue robots.
C. Different earthquake rescue robots in the world.
D. An introduction to a kind of earthquake rescue robots.
D
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the better the effect is.
A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group pf Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learned a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension (理解) were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
32. The main subject talked about in this passage is ______.
A. science on learning a second language
B. man’s ability of learning a second language
C. that language learning can help brain power
D. language learning and maths study
33. The last sentence of the second paragraph is intended to ______.
A. say language learning is also a kind of physical labor
B. prove that one needs more practice when he/she is learning a language
C. show the importance of using it when you learn a language
D. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
34. We may know from the scientific findings that ______.
A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is
B. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language
C. the experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on people’s brain
D. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
35. The underlined word “bilinguals” probably means ______.
A. researchers on language learning B. people who are good at learning foreign languages
C. people who can speak two languages D. active language learners

Ranjan and Sumer were good friends. They went to the same school and were in the same class.
Ranjan was not strong. He could not play football or other games with boys of his age. All that he did was to watch Sumer and other boys play. He usually went with them to the playground. When they ran off to play, he would sit under a tree and read storybooks. Books became his best friends. The reading made him successful in all the exams. He always stood first in the class.
Sumer was tall and strong. He spent most of his time running, swimming or riding bicycles. He was an extremely good player in every game. He was a member of the school’s football team and cricket team. The PE teacher thought he would make it big in the game when he grew up.
One day, the two friends went for a walk. Ranjan got tired soon.
“I have no strength. What is the use of all this knowledge if I am not healthy? I would give away all my knowledge if I could be half as healthy and strong as you,” said Ranjan.
Sumer was surprised and replied, “So you are not happy with yourself either? I always wished I could have done as well as you did in the studies. I even thought I could have given away my sporting skills for better grades in those exams.”
The two friends looked at each other and cried out at the same time. “The grass looks greener on the other side of the hill.”
24. What did Ranjan usually do when he went to the playground with Sumer?
A. He read his favorite books. B. He played with his friend.

Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing. Their designers say with these robots, rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
This robot, looking like a helicopter, is called the detector (探测器) bot. At about 4 metres long, it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main functions are to collect information from the air, and deliver goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake.
This robot is equipped with a high 360- degree panoramic (全景的) camera. It can work day and night and also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr Qi Juntong, from Chinese Academy of Sciences, said, “The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn’t need distant control. We just set the information on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 metres, and as fast as 100 kilometres per hour.”
This robot has a different function—it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers can’t go.
The robot is equipped with a camera that can work in the dark, as well as a detector that not only finds people, but can also detect poisonous gas.
Another use for the rescuers is the supply bot, with its 10- metre- long pipe. People trapped in the ruins will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
Experts have said that the robots will be produced, and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.
28. We can learn from the passage that the earthquake rescue robot ______.
A. can send pictures even at night B. is designed to predict the earthquake
C. is unable to deliver goods D. can be used to clear away poisonous gas
29. According to Dr. Qi Juntong, the earthquake rescue robot ______.
A. has a unique shape
B. has more functions
C. is equipped with more advanced cameras
D. can work by itself once given the information
30. The robot can find people in an earthquake with the help of ______.
A. a remote control B. a detector
C. a long pipe D. a helicopter
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Some information about earthquakes.
B. How to build earthquake rescue robots.
C. Different earthquake rescue robots in the world.
D. An introduction to a kind of earthquake rescue robots.
D
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the better the effect is.
A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group pf Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learned a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension (理解) were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
32. The main subject talked about in this passage is ______.
A. science on learning a second language
B. man’s ability of learning a second language
C. that language learning can help brain power
D. language learning and maths study
33. The last sentence of the second paragraph is intended to ______.
A. say language learning is also a kind of physical labor
B. prove that one needs more practice when he/she is learning a language
C. show the importance of using it when you learn a language
D. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
34. We may know from the scientific findings that ______.
A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is
B. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language
C. the experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on people’s brain
D. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
35. The underlined word “bilinguals” probably means ______.
A. researchers on language learning B. people who are good at learning foreign languages
C. people who can speak two languages D. active language learners
