　　When I was ten years old, I went to the U.S. to visit some family friends. We travelled all the way from California to Las Vegas. I noticed something funny about the way everyone spoke English. I was thinking, “This is the way they speak in films!”
At the beginning of the holiday, one of my friends asked me if I wanted to order “French fries”. I couldn't imagine what French fries were. What was fried and French?! Snails? Cheese? She was amazed that I had never tried them and she ordered a portion for us to share. When the waiter brought us some
chips, I asked her where the French fries were. She pointed to the plate of chips! Later that week she said she was going to buy some “chips” from the supermarket. She came out with a packet of crisps!
During that holiday we were also offered “biscuits and gravy” with our lunch. This was a very strange idea to me, because in England biscuits are sweet. Gravy is a salty, meat−based sauce. I later realized that “biscuits” in America are savoury snacks.
　　　　　　What we call “biscuits", they call “cookies".
　　　　　　　　One day, I saw an “eggplant” pizza on the menu in a restaurant! Eggs do not grow on plants, I thought. What on earth could an “eggplant” be? Something eggy and leafy? My dad ordered this pizza and it was covered in aubergines. I asked him where the “eggplant” was. He laughed and pointed to the aubergines. He told me, “They call this ‘eggplant 'in America!"　　　　　　　　
Although the same “language” may be spoken in different countries, there are likely to be many differences, not just in vocabulary but also in spelling, grammar and pronunciation! I think part of the excitement of learning a language is discovering the differences in how it is spoken in different places.
　　　　　　24.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?　　　　　　　　
A.Holiday is a good time to relax.　　　　　　　　
B.French fries are popular worldwide.　　　　　　　　
C.The waiter provided poor service.
D. Chips and crisps are the same food.
25.Where does the author most probably come from?
A.America.
B.France.
C.England.　　　　　　D.Italy.
26.How did the author feel when seeing an“eggplant"pizza on the menu?

C.Anxious.　　　　　　D.Confused.
27.What is the text mainly about?　
A.Advantages of travelling.　
B.High−end restaurants.　
C.Food and tradition.

　　July was the world's hottest month on record. Wildfires this summer destroyed a Hawaiian city and caused evacuations(疏散)in Canada, Greece，and Thailand. Floods devastated towns in Vermont in July and killed thousands of Libyans in September.
　　John Vaillant's new book Fire Weather aims to shake us out of this with a tale of terror from a climate change frontline: the city of Fort McMurray, in northern Canada's vast forest, where an uncontrollable wildfire during an exceptionally warm spring in 2016 flooded entire communities within days.
　　Vaillant tells his story at disaster−movie pace, starting with the glimpse of smoke on the horizon and assurances from the authorities that all will be fine. Mounting misfortune follows as the flames lick golf courses on the city's edge. By the end, 9 000 people had been evacuated, 2 500 structures destroyed, another 500 damaged. The energy generated by the fire created its own weather system, with hurricane force winds and lightning strikes.
　　What attracts me most is the book's central irony. The story takes place in Fort McMurray, which is the industrial centre of northern Alberta's tar sands, one of the world's largest fossil fuel deposits. It is a city whose existence depends on the hydrocarbons whose burning caused climate change; but whose existence almost ended in a climate−caused burning.
　　Fire Weather isn't a typical disaster book. Vaillant's references to Nassim Taleb, Lucretius, Seamus Heaney, The Lord of the Rings, Xerxes, and
Moby Dick can grant. But Vaillant's theme is also catching my eyes. Our industrial world is releasing carbon at a rate 10 times faster than scientists can find in the geological record for the past 250 mn years, he writes, “Thanks to fire and our appetite for boundless energy, we have evolved into a geologic event that will be measurable a million years from now."
28.What's the purpose of mentioning the examples in Paragraph 1?　　
A.To show the varieties of nature disasters.　　
B.To engage the readers in the same topic.　　
C.To indicate the difficulties of these areas.　　
D.To provide the background of the book.
29.What's special about the book according to this passage?　　
A.Plot and viewpoint.
B.Character and conflict.　
C.Setting and theme.　D.Tone and style.
30. What does the underlined word “grant” in Paragraph 5 mean?　　
A.Be presented.　　　B.Be refused.　　
C.Be preserved.　　　D.Be recorded.
31.Where is the text most probably taken from?　　
A.An essay on the climate change.　　
B.A guidebook to Fort McMurray.　　
C.A review of world disasters.　　
D.An introduction to a book.

Anyone who's lived through middle school knows those years can be particularly challenging.　Some researches show youths across the U.S.　are struggling with mental health. The physical health benefits of bike riding have been well−documented. Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co−authors carried out a new
study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers.
　　The study involved more than 1 200 students, ages 11 to 14. Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors while raising their heart rate and just having fun.　The students completed standardized questionnaires before and after the program designed to measure their health.
　　“We know cycling can benefit the body. Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. Bike riding can be an ideal activity for adolescents because of the benefits it offers,” said Wilson.
　　"Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you're balancing, you're navigating and turning.　Oftentimes, you're doing it with someone else, so there's the positive effect of company or group activity,” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
　　While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it's not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well−being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students”, Wilson said. And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn't limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well−being, he said.
32.What does the new study mainly focus on?　　　
A.Challenges in middle school.　　　
B.Youths in America.　　　
C.Physical benefits of cycling.　　　
D.Mental effects of bike riding.
　　33.What did the students do in the program?　　　
A.Attend the cycling class for a week.　　　
B.Learn how to keep safe while cycling.　　　
C.Raise their heart rate by cycling indoors.　　　
D.Design questions to measure their health.
　　34.What is Reiss’attitude to the result of the study?
A.Supportive.　　　　　B.Doubtful.　　　
C.Unclear.　　　　　　D.Negative.
　　35.What is the last paragraph mainly about?　　　
A.Application of the research results.　　　
B.Doubts about the research methods.　　　
C.Further explanation of the research findings.　　
D.Supporting evidence from previous research.
