Mount Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro in northeastern Tanzania,is the highest point in Africa,measuring almost 6，000 meters. The mountain supports 5 plant areas and many kinds of animals.

Also, a valuable record of thousands of years of weather history will also be lost if the ice melts.
Glacier National Park
In the United States, the icy blocks in Glacier National Park may soon completely disappear because of weather change. In 1850， there were about 150 glaciers. By comparison, there are 26 glaciers remaining today. Scientists estimate that the glaciers will be gone by 2030. Warm temperatures are also threatening the many kinds of plants and animals that live in this mountain ecosystem.

In some areas, healthy yellow, brown and green reefs have become white. The coral whitens when it is in warmer temperature.

24．（5分）Eating food is enjoyable,but cooking can be challenging.For those who don't have basic cooking skills,or are too busy working or traveling.one thing can save them---- instant noodles.
This year marks the 63rd anniversary of the invention of instant noodles.Ever since they were created by Japanese businessman Momofuku Ando in 1958，instant noodles have been popular around the world.In China,the product has almost become a necessity for those who travel by train.
There are some fun facts about instant noodles：The total length of the noodles in one package is 51 meters.The first instant noodles were considered a luxury product.When they first came to Japanese supermarket in 1958 they were 6 times the cost of fresh udon noodles.Japanese people even voted instant noodles as one of their best inventions of the 20 century.
For instant noodles,as well as many "instant"foods,convenience is the key selling point.They are supposed to make our lives easier.
___________.For example,in wars,soldiers eat compressed biscuits and canned meat because they don't need to cook these foods.And in the 1960s,frozen dinners of fried chicken,mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables became popular in the US.This is because more women started working and had no time to cook.
In recent years,however,online meal-ordering services have brought challenge to instant foods.Uber Eats is a popular app of this kind in the United States.In China,we have E le me,Dianping and Meituan.These services offer not only convenience but also more choices and tastier food.According to the World Instant Noodle Association,instant noodle sales dropped by 17 percent in China as of 2016.
This might show that Chinese people are now more interested in having higher-quality diets and not just simply filling their bellies,experts say.
（1）Which country did instant noodles start from？_________
A.The UK
B The US
C.China
D.Japan
（2）Which of the following is NOT the fun fact of instant noodles？_______

B.E le me.
C.Uber Eats.
D.Dianping

A Food trend often reflects changes in society.

D.More and more people were interested in instant noodles.
（5）What can we infer from the passage？ ________

B.In 2016，only 17%6 of Chinese people bought instant noodles.
C.Many American women didn't like cooking food in the 1960s.

25．（5分）

B. Why are there so many libraries？
C. There are more libraries than grammar schools.
D. They are doing what they can to stay close to people's lives.
E. But people in one country are still keeping the habit of going to libraries
F. Libraries are everywhere in the country.
In the age of the Internet, the idea of going to a public library to borrow a book may seem old-fashioned in many parts of the world.（1）_________It is the Czech Republic（捷克共和国）.
（2）_______In fact, there is one library for every 1. 971 Czech people. The survey found four times as many, relative to population, as the average European country, and 10 times as many as United States, which has one for every 19， 583 people.
（3)_________It's a long story. In 1919， the government introduced a law to promote national education in their own language. Every place, from a big city to a tiny village, must have one library. And it worked.
The library law lasted for around 80 years, even in wartime. In 2001， to save money, the requirement was dropped.（4）_________Even today, Czech people visit libraries very often.
If you think these libraries are outdated, you are wrong.（5）________Today, they are used as local people's meeting places. They also hold art exhibitions（展览）and computer classes. But for most Czech people, no matter how the libraries change, their biggest function is still lending books.

D． Keeping a turtle （乌龟） as a pet is fun. Turtles are the quietest pets. If you are less than five years old, you'd better not keep turtles because they can spread salmonella （沙氏门菌）．
E． Many families keep dogs because they are smart. They can even understand what you say. They like to play with their masters. But you need to spend time walking them.
