Playing in water is one way to feel cooler. Taking a cool bath or a shower can feel really good on a hot day.It is also important for us to drink water. If you feel thirsty, you should drink water immediately. On hot days, you can lose about 16 glasses of water in one day, so many doctors advise that you should try to drink at least that much every day. Mixing a little fruit juice into your water is a fun way to help you drink plenty of water.The food we eat also makes a difference in how we feel in the heat. Cold food, such as ice cream and drinks with some ice, can cool down our bodies. However, eating spicy(辛辣的) food makes our bodies even warmer.The clothes we wear can help us feel cooler as well. Light-coloured, light-weight clothes feel cooler in the sun than dark, heavy clothing. Loose(宽松的）clothes are more comfortable in the heat than tight(紧身的）ones.Even though it is not healthy to run around during the hottest time of the day, that doesnt mean a hot day is not fun! You can read stories in your room. You can also paint or draw without moving your body too much. These are just some of many cool things to do on a hot day. 25. How much water do we need in one hot day?A. Only 16 glasses of water.B. Less than 16 glasses of water.C. At least 16 glasses of water. D. As much as possible.26.

They belong to a class of animals called arachnids(蛛形纲动物). Spiders have eight eyes, four pairs of legs, and can grow a new leg if they lose one. A spiders body is divided into two sections: the abdomen(腹部) and the thorax(胸部).The legs, eyes, and mouthparts are in the thorax section.Most spiders have poison glands(毒腺)and sharp teeth. They use their sharp teeth to force poison into the insects they catch for food. This poison can make an insect lose the ability to move, and the helpless insect is then devoured by the spider.Spiders usually have silk glands under their abdomen. They produce a liquid(液体)that is thicker than water from their glands. When the liquid comes into the air, it dries into silk. Many spiders use this silk to form webs to catch insects and to make cocoons(茧)that protect their eggs. This amazing silk is also used to create lines that spiders hang onto as they travel to new areas.Spiders live in almost everywhere on earth. The only places where there are no spiders are the coldest places, the highest mountains and the seas. 29. What will happen if a spider loses one leg?A. It will die. B. It will lose its way.C. It will grow a new one. D. It will have seven legs forever.30. What is the meaning of the underlined word “devoured”? A. eaten.B. caught.C. killed.D. saved.31. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Spiders are not insects. B. All spiders have poison glands. C. Spiders make cocoons to keep their eggs safe. D. There are no spiders in the coldest places. DAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)"According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.32. The passage begins with two questions to _. A. introduce the main topicB. show the author's altitudeC. describe how to use the Internet. D. explain how to store information33. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer. B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to remember the information. D. The second group did not understand the information.34. In transactive memory, people _.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a computerD. remember how to find the information35. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。A rich man had a lazy son. He wanted him to know the importance of hard work.
