Lng ag, pems were recited ut lud instead f being written dwn. When the Greeks first started the Olympics, they held petry cntests as well as athletic cmpetitins.
Nw, petry cmpetitins have been revived. This year 120,000 high schl students cmpeted in the first Petry Out Lud natinal recitatin cntest, perfrming pems frm memry fr $100,000 in prizes.
The first cmpetitins were held in classrms. The winners went n t schl-wide cntests, and then they cmpeted in city and state cmpetitins. Finally, the50 state champins, alng with the District f Clumbia champin, descended upn Washingtn, D. C. last week fr the ultimate shwdwn. After the51 champins cmpeted against ne anther.12 went n t the finals. Then the field was narrwed t five. The final five had ne last chance t “perfrm” a pem. The verall champin, Jacksn Hille, a high schl senir frm Ohi, wn a $20,000 schlarship.
The Natinal Endwment fr the Arts and the Petry Fundatin started Petry Out Lud because they realized that hearing a pem perfrmed is a different experience frm reading it n a page.
It’s nt just a matter f saying the wrds in the right rder. It’s the tne f vice, the pauses, the gestures, and the attitude f the persn perfrming that bring the wrds t life. “Each time we hear smebdy recite a pem, we understand again what we fund fresh and interesting abut it,” says Natinal Public Radi bradcaster Sctt Simn, master f ceremnies fr the finals. Hearing it in a new vice ffers smething new fr the listener.
Nt nly d the peple hearing pems have a new experience, but memrizing and presenting pems helps the participants understand thse pems in a new way. Anther benefit f a cmpetitin such as Petry Out Lud is that the participants learn public-speaking skills that can help them fr life.
24．Frm the first paragraph, we can knw ______
A．the Greeks were the first t write pems
B．the Olympics used t start with pem reciting
C．pems were spread rally in the past
D．athletes were asked t recite pems befre cmpeting
25．Hw many runds f cmpetitins did the champins take befre they went t Washingtn, D. C.?
A．Three.B．Fur.C．FiveD．Six
26．Accrding t the passage, hearing a pem recited by different peple can ______.
A．bring a new life t listenersB．help listeners find their interest
C．make listeners learn the wrdsD．ffer smething new t listeners
27．One benefit the participants get frm pem recitatin cmpetitins is that they can ______.
A．becme skilled in speaking in publicB．write gd pems themselves
C．change their attitudes twards lifeD．make friends with many great pets

Yur next car culd have tw seats, three wheels—tw in frnt and ne in the back and a tp speed f mre than 100 miles per hur. Eli Mtrs plans t make such a tiny car named the Eli. Its tw seats sit frnt and back instead f side by side. The driver is psitined in the center with the passenger directly behind.
The starting price fr the car is just $6,800．It has nly ne dr, n the left side, which cuts a few hundred dllars ff the manufacturing csts. Having three wheels als makes it cheaper. It has air cnditining, pwer windws and dr lcks and an AM/FM radi. Mre features can be rdered thrugh Eli’s lng list f suppliers. Eli will als sell the cars directly thrugh its wn stres and nt thrugh franchised dealers（特约经销商）.
Pau l Eli dreamed as a kid that he wuld ne day wn a car cmpany called Eli Mtrs. In 2008, tired f high gas prices, he started wrking n a car that burns gas in a mre effective way. Equally imprtant t him was creating U. S. manufacturing jbs and making the car inexpensive enugh t attract buyers wh might therwise be stuck in their ld, unreliable cars. “Whatever matters t yu, this can mve the needle n it”, he said
Already, mre than 27,000 peple have reserved ne . Paul hpes t make 250,000 car s a year by 2016．S far. reservatin hlders are thse wh will use the Eli as a secnd r third car fr wrk. Finally, thugh, he believes the car will interest high schl and cllege students as well as used-car drivers wh want smething newer and mre reliable.

French pet Victr Hug（1802~1885）nce said, “T learn t read is t light a fire, every syllable that is spelt ut is a spark.”
Tday, when we read bks, rad signs and psters, it’s prbably hard t imagine that nly half a century ag. abut 40 percent f the wrld’s adults were still illiterate, accrding t data frm UNESCO. This means that tw ut f every five adults culd neither read nr write in the 1960s. In ther wrds, the “sparks” that nw light up ur wrld failed t d the same fr theirs.
In respnse t this situatin, UNESCO decided t name Sept. 8 as Internatinal Literacy（读写能力）Day. starting frm 1967．Every year, the day is celebrated t stress the imprtance f literacy and the prgress that has been made, which itself is huge—in 2016, the glbal adult literacy rate rse t 86 percent, while the yuth literacy rate was as high as 91 percent, accrding t UNESCO.
This raises a questin: If the missin t prmte literacy has basically been accmplished, why d we still celebrate this day?
The truth is that the definitin f “literacy” keeps changing. Fr example, the theme fr 2007 and 2008 Internatinal Literacy Day was “Literacy and health”, which targeted peple’s ignrance f diseases like HIV and malaria. Fr 2017, the emphasis was placed n “Literacy in a digital wrld”, because nt knwing anything abut the Internet in tday’s wrld is just like lacking basic reading abilities in the 1960s—it’s the “new illiteracy”.
The fcus fr this year’s Internatinal Literacy Day is “Literacy and skills develpment”. But the skills in questin are nt jb specific skills, such as thse required t be an electrician r a chef. Instead, the fcus will be n “transferable skills” —cmmunicatin, critical thinking, teamwrk, and creativity, t name a few. These are the things that allw us t d ur jb well—any jb.
32．Why did UNESCO set up Internatinal Literacy Day riginally?
A．T encurage the yung peple t read mre.
B．T help peple read bks, rad signs and psters.
C．T increase literacy rate frm 40 percent t 86 percent.
D．T imprve peple’s literacy by stressing its imprtance.
33．Hw des the authr shw the prgress in literacy?
A．By using figures.B．By giving examples.
C．By asking questins.D．By cmparing the details.
34．What will be fcused n fr this year’s Internatinal Literacy Day?
A．Jb specific skills.B．Skills f a chef.
C．Thinking critically.D．Making electricians.
35．What is the text mainly abut?
A．Achievements in literacy.B．Internatinal Literacy Day.
C．The develpment f UNESCO.D．The reasns t prmte literacy.

Lng ag, pems were recited ut lud instead f being written dwn. When the Greeks first started the Olympics, they held petry cntests as well as athletic cmpetitins.
Nw, petry cmpetitins have been revived. This year 120,000 high schl students cmpeted in the first Petry Out Lud natinal recitatin cntest, perfrming pems frm memry fr $100,000 in prizes.
The first cmpetitins were held in classrms. The winners went n t schl-wide cntests, and then they cmpeted in city and state cmpetitins. Finally, the50 state champins, alng with the District f Clumbia champin, descended upn Washingtn, D. C. last week fr the ultimate shwdwn. After the51 champins cmpeted against ne anther.12 went n t the finals. Then the field was narrwed t five. The final five had ne last chance t “perfrm” a pem. The verall champin, Jacksn Hille, a high schl senir frm Ohi, wn a $20,000 schlarship.
The Natinal Endwment fr the Arts and the Petry Fundatin started Petry Out Lud because they realized that hearing a pem perfrmed is a different experience frm reading it n a page.
It’s nt just a matter f saying the wrds in the right rder. It’s the tne f vice, the pauses, the gestures, and the attitude f the persn perfrming that bring the wrds t life. “Each time we hear smebdy recite a pem, we understand again what we fund fresh and interesting abut it,” says Natinal Public Radi bradcaster Sctt Simn, master f ceremnies fr the finals. Hearing it in a new vice ffers smething new fr the listener.
Nt nly d the peple hearing pems have a new experience, but memrizing and presenting pems helps the participants understand thse pems in a new way. Anther benefit f a cmpetitin such as Petry Out Lud is that the participants learn public-speaking skills that can help them fr life.
24．Frm the first paragraph, we can knw ______
A．the Greeks were the first t write pems
B．the Olympics used t start with pem reciting
C．pems were spread rally in the past
D．athletes were asked t recite pems befre cmpeting
25．Hw many runds f cmpetitins did the champins take befre they went t Washingtn, D. C.?
A．Three.B．Fur.C．FiveD．Six
26．Accrding t the passage, hearing a pem recited by different peple can ______.
A．bring a new life t listenersB．help listeners find their interest
C．make listeners learn the wrdsD．ffer smething new t listeners
27．One benefit the participants get frm pem recitatin cmpetitins is that they can ______.

Yur next car culd have tw seats, three wheels—tw in frnt and ne in the back and a tp speed f mre than 100 miles per hur. Eli Mtrs plans t make such a tiny car named the Eli. Its tw seats sit frnt and back instead f side by side. The driver is psitined in the center with the passenger directly behind.
The starting price fr the car is just $6,800．It has nly ne dr, n the left side, which cuts a few hundred dllars ff the manufacturing csts. Having three wheels als makes it cheaper.

Eli will als sell the cars directly thrugh its wn stres and nt thrugh franchised dealers（特约经销商）.
Pau l Eli dreamed as a kid that he wuld ne day wn a car cmpany called Eli Mtrs. In 2008, tired f high gas prices, he started wrking n a car that burns gas in a mre effective way. Equally imprtant t him was creating U. S. manufacturing jbs and making the car inexpensive enugh t attract buyers wh might therwise be stuck in their ld, unreliable cars. “Whatever matters t yu, this can mve the needle n it”, he said
Already, mre than 27,000 peple have reserved ne . Paul hpes t make 250,000 car s a year by 2016．S far. reservatin hlders are thse wh will use the Eli as a secnd r third car fr wrk.

French pet Victr Hug（1802~1885）nce said, “T learn t read is t light a fire, every syllable that is spelt ut is a spark.”
Tday, when we read bks, rad signs and psters, it’s prbably hard t imagine that nly half a century ag. abut 40 percent f the wrld’s adults were still illiterate, accrding t data frm UNESCO. This means that tw ut f every five adults culd neither read nr write in the 1960s. In ther wrds, the “sparks” that nw light up ur wrld failed t d the same fr theirs.
In respnse t this situatin, UNESCO decided t name Sept. 8 as Internatinal Literacy（读写能力）Day. starting frm 1967．Every year, the day is celebrated t stress the imprtance f literacy and the prgress that has been made, which itself is huge—in 2016, the glbal adult literacy rate rse t 86 percent, while the yuth literacy rate was as high as 91 percent, accrding t UNESCO.
This raises a questin: If the missin t prmte literacy has basically been accmplished, why d we still celebrate this day?
The truth is that the definitin f “literacy” keeps changing. Fr example, the theme fr 2007 and 2008 Internatinal Literacy Day was “Literacy and health”, which targeted peple’s ignrance f diseases like HIV and malaria. Fr 2017, the emphasis was placed n “Literacy in a digital wrld”, because nt knwing anything abut the Internet in tday’s wrld is just like lacking basic reading abilities in the 1960s—it’s the “new illiteracy”.
The fcus fr this year’s Internatinal Literacy Day is “Literacy and skills develpment”. But the skills in questin are nt jb specific skills, such as thse required t be an electrician r a chef. Instead, the fcus will be n “transferable skills” —cmmunicatin, critical thinking, teamwrk, and creativity, t name a few. These are the things that allw us t d ur jb well—any jb.
32．Why did UNESCO set up Internatinal Literacy Day riginally?
A．T encurage the yung peple t read mre.
B．T help peple read bks, rad signs and psters.
C．T increase literacy rate frm 40 percent t 86 percent.
D．T imprve peple’s literacy by stressing its imprtance.
33．Hw des the authr shw the prgress in literacy?
A．By using figures.B．By giving examples.
C．By asking questins.D．By cmparing the details.
34．What will be fcused n fr this year’s Internatinal Literacy Day?
A．Jb specific skills.B．Skills f a chef.
C．Thinking critically.D．Making electricians.
35．What is the text mainly abut?
A．Achievements in literacy.B．Internatinal Literacy Day.
C．The develpment f UNESCO.D．The reasns t prmte literacy.
