Recently, one of my best friends, whom I’ve shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we’ve both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.

Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn’t want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved(值得) better, she didn’t believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.

By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. We’d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.

A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation，and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.

Many of the sports in ancient Egypt are still practiced today. In fact, many of the basic elements of sports, like rules and uniforms, were first used by Egyptians. The sports had important functions in society. Some were played for fun and fitness. Others were played to make stronger warriors(武士) and leaders.

The first group of sports, mostly for fun was those like rowing, hunting, and the high jump. Hunting and fishing could be enjoyed by the kings and regular people. The same was for rowing. Rowing needed strength. Teams of people got into boats and followed the commands of a leader. He would give regular, sharp calls to tell them when to row. This technique is still used for rowing teams today. Another popular game was tug-of-war. This was a game where two teams had to pull each other over a line. If team fell forward, they lost. This game is still played today in the country.

The second group of sports prepared people for the army and the temple. These included boxing, horse riding, running, and archery(箭术). They were ways to work on skills for fighting. They were also ways to work on mental and spiritual power. Running a marathon was a good example of this. The king would run to show he had the mental strength to guide his country. Hockey was another Egyptian game. Players held tree branches with a bent end, just like modern hockey sticks. They had to hit a ball made of leather that was brightly colored.

These sports were a part of Egyptian culture. They kept the people happy and fit. The basic rules were created thousands of years ago. They are still seen in some forms today.

24. According to the passage, what was the purpose of sports?

A. They could stop people from being angry at the king.

B. They could stop people from working too much.

C. They could keep people busy with no time to fight.

D. They could keep people happy and in good shape.

B. hopeful 

C. keen 

D. energetic

26. Why does the author mention hockey in Paragraph 3?

D. To contrast its simplicity with the complexity of other games.

We've heard many stories of individuals across the world who've adopted a zero-waste lifestyle, but it's not often that we come across an entire community trying to become waste-free. The residents(居民) of Kamikatsu in Japan take recycling so seriously that they actually hope to become the nation's first zero-waste community by 2020.

Kamikatsu has no garbage trucks, so residents need to compost(制成堆肥) their kitchen trash at home. They also have to wash and sort the rest of their trash into 34 different kinds, and bring it to the recycling center themselves where workers make sure the waste goes into the correct bins. It obviously took some time for the residents to get used to this rule, but they eventually managed to adapt to the strict changes and they are now seeing them as normal.

Kamikatsu has turned recycling into a new process---there are separate bins for different types of paper products. Even plastic bottles and their caps go into different bins. Many of these items are resold or repurposed(赋子新的用途) into clothing and toys. The labels on each bin let the residents know exactly what happens to their trash.

Reuse is highly encouraged in Kamikatsu---they have local kuru-kuru shops where residents can exchange used items with new things at no extra cost. Businesses are also encouraged to participate in responsible waste management.

A Kamikatsu resident said, “It can be a pain, and at first we were opposed to the idea. Now I don't think about it. It's become natural to separate the trash correctly.”

All the recycling facilities in Kamikatsu are managed by a Zero Waste Academy which also regularly hosts groups of local schoolchildren and foreign visitors, educating them on the benefits of a zero-waste lifestyle.

27. How do the residents of Kamikatsu deal with their trash?

A. They throw it into garbage trucks.

B. They recycle all their trash at home.

C. They send it to the recycling center on their own.

D. They turn all trash into compost beneficial to the soil.

28. What's the feature of recycling in Kamikatsu?

A. Trash is classified carefully.

B. Bins tell the residents details of their trash.

C. Used items are changed for new ones at lower price.

D. Recycled items are reused by the residents themselves.

29. What can we infer from the resident mentioned in paragraph 5?

A. He feels painful to deal with trash.

B. He accepts the zero-waste community plan.

C. He advises the Japanese to follow their example.

D. He regards separating the trash as a waste of time.

30. What is the main purpose of the text?

A. To tell us what happens to trash.

B. To ask people to protect the environment.

C. To introduce an inspiring waste-free community.

D. To recommend people to compost kitchen trash.

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Billy was 15 years old then. He grew up in a very poor neighborhood. No one in his family had gone to college before. Actually, few people around him had received higher education. They all struggled to live a good life. Therefore, Billy knew nothing about colleges or scholarships and he never thought he would go to college one day. Although he was a smart boy, he didn’t study hard al school and often got into trouble with other teenagers in his neighborhood.

One day, while Billy was walking on the playground, a boy of his age started making fun of him. Then that boy pushed him hard and Billy fell onto the ground. Billy became so angry that he stood up and beat that boy. So a fight began.

It happened that Billy’s English teacher Mr. Smith was walking nearby. He immediately ran to the boys to stop the fight. Billy was a bit worried because he knew his teacher was very strict with students. He was afraid his teacher would punish him. However, to his astonishment, his teacher didn’t do that.

“Billy, let’s have a talk,” said his teacher.

Billy, not knowing what his teacher wanted to do, was very worried. But he nodded. So they went to a bench nearby and sat down. After they sat down, Mr. Smith began, “Billy, I know you’re a smart boy, but you’re wasting your life now. Why don’t you study hard to go to college so that you can change your life and have a bright future?”

Hearing that, Billy didn’t know what to say. He had never thought about it. Billy was in silence. Mr. Smith continued, “I know you may have never thought about going to college. But everything is possible. When I was at your age, I was a troublemaker just like you and never thought I’d be able to go to college, either. It was all because of the support and encouragement of Mr. Howard, my math teacher in high school.”
