21、   For many animals, the sea is a dangerous place. Overfishing and pollution are killing many sea animals. But the number of cephalopods (头足类动物) – sea animals that include octopi (章鱼) and squid (鱿鱼) – has been growing for the past 60 years. 

Zoe Doubleday is a scientist and she did a study of cephalopods. She says cephalopods’ special abilities made their numbers to grow.

① These animals can change their colour and body shape. They grow fast and live for only one or two years. “This allows them to get used to changing environments more quickly than other sea animals,” Doubleday said.

② What’s more, rising sea temperatures might make animals age faster, she says. They might be growing faster and giving birth to more babies.

③ So people can find them in both cold and hot places. Because they can easily get used to their environment, they are known as the “wild grass of the sea”.

④ Will octopi and squid take over the world one day? According to Doubleday, that won’t happen. The growth of cephalopods could slow down if the animals run out of food and start eating each other. Overfishing could also change their numbers.

For now, the cephalopod growth is good news for other sea animals. “The growing number of cephalopods could be good for sea animals and birds that eat cephalopods,” Doubleday said.

【1】According to the first paragraph, what is happening to sea animals?

A.They are getting used to dirty water.

B.They are running out of food.

C.They are being killed by overfishing and pollution.

D.They are being caught and kept in zoos.

【2】What helped the number of cephalopods to grow?

A.Their ability to change their colour and body shape.

B.Their ability to grow more slowly than other animals.

C.Their ability to change their body temperature.

D.Their ability to eat other sea animals.

【3】“Cephalopods live in all of the world’s seas.” The sentence can be put in ________.

A.① B.② C.③ D.④

【4】According to the article, the cephalopod growth now ________ .

A.makes the sea full of wild grass B.makes the sea full of cephalopods

C.harms some sea animals D.is good for some sea animals

22、   One afternoon I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works. A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and found the wife was doing all the talk. I admired (赞赏) the husband for putting up with her continuous talk. Because of their noise, I moved on.

I met with them many times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous talk, I moved away quickly. I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white thing. He extended (展开) it into a long stick and then tapped (敲打) his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.

“He’s a brave man.” The salesman at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blind at such a young age. But he said his life wouldn’t change during his recovery (恢复). So, as before, he and his wife come in when there’s a new art show.” “But how does he enjoy the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.” “Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”

I learned something from the couple that day. I saw a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight (视力) and a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.

【1】“…I moved away quickly.” in Paragraph 2 shows that the writer ________.

A.was in the hope of visiting more rooms B.was in a hurry to buy some gifts

C.was tired of the nonstop talking D.was not interested in the art show

【2】We can infer (推断) from the passage that the husband ________.

A.was not born blind B.couldn’t stand (忍受) his wife

C.knew nothing about art D.completely depended on (完全依靠) his wife

【3】The passage is mainly about ________.

A.the importance of art B.good manners in public

C.love of a husband D.love between a couple

23、Bruce shook his money box again.

Nothing! He carefully counted the coins that lay on the bed. All that he had was $24.25. The bicycle which he wanted was at least $90. How was he going to get the rest of the money?

He knew his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang out (闲逛) with people when you were the only one without a bicycle. He thought about what he could do. He couldn’t get money from his parents, because he knew they had no extra (额外的) money.

There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn (挣得) it. He would have to find a job. He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice.

“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr. Clay. “You see, my windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”

That was the beginning of Bruce’s part-time job. For the next three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks and cleaned rooms.

The day finally came when Bruce counted his money and found $94.32. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to choose the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. At last, his dream came true, and his parents were proud of him.

24、   British people are well known for the amount（量）of tea that they drink. Each person in the UK drinks about 1.9 kg of tea every year. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections（阶层）of society. But tea does not grow in Britain. Most of the tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?

Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time British ships were exploring（探索）the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available（可购得的）to buy. However, this was only available to the richer sections of society.

At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased. Black tea arrived at this time. At first people drank this tea exactly as it was in China. They soon found that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving it a special taste.

In the 1800s, tea was still a thing enjoyed only by people with money. At this time they began to have “afternoon tea”. People drink tea with a snack around 4 p.m. so that they don’t feel hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times.

In the late 1800s, the price of tea went down as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms-shops where you could buy and drink tea, started to appear（出现）across the country. At the start of the 20th century, people of all sections began to drink tea.

【1】When did black tea arrive in Britain?

A．In the 1600s.

B．In the early 1700s.

C．In the late 1800s.

D．At the start of the 20th century.

【2】Why did tea become cheaper later?

A．Because fewer people drank it.

B．Because more tea arrived in Britain.

C．Because it was no longer a drink just for rich people.

D．Because tearooms appeared.

【3】What’s the right order of the following events?

a. Tea is drunk by people of all sections.

b. People drank tea with milk and sugar.

c. British ships brought tea to Britain.

d. People bought and drank tea in tearooms.

A．a-c-b-d

25、词语运用

Last month, I went on 【1】 vacation to Beijing with my parents. We went to Beijing Wildlife Park. There I saw some rhinos and egrets. They lived together. What an amazing r【2】 they had! I also saw tigers. I like tigers 【3】 (well) among all the animals. Because they are symbols of strength and c【4】. They are very 【5】 (brave). The tiger is at the top of the food 【6】 (chain). They are important 【7】 us. But now, tigers are in 【8】 (dangerous). We should ask people 【9】 (protect) them instead of 【10】 (hunt) them.
