21、   Suppose that we lined up our roughly 14 million United States businesses in order of size, starting with the smallest, along an imaginary road from San Francisco to New York. There will be 4,500 businesses to the mile, or a little less than one per foot. Suppose further that we planted a flag for each business. The height of the flag pole represents the yearly volume of sales, each $ 10, 000 in sales is shown by one foot of pole.

The line of flagpoles is a very interesting sight. From San Francisco to about Reno, it is almost unnoticeable, a row of poles about a foot high. From Reno eastward the poles increase in height until, near Columbus, Ohio -- about four-fifths of the way across the nation -- flags fly about 10 feet in the air.

But as we approach the eastern terminus (终点) , the poles suddenly begin to rise. There are about 300, 000 firms in the country with sales over $ 500, 000. These firms take up the last 75 miles of the 3,000-mile road. There are 200, 000 firms with sales over $ 1 million. They take up the last 50 miles. Then there are 1, 000 firms with sales of $ 50, 000, 000 or more. They take up the last quarter of a mile before the city limits, flags flying at cloud height, 5,000 feet up.

At the very gate of New York, on the last 100 feet of the last mile, we find the 100 largest industrial firms. They have sales of at least $ 1.5 billion, so that their flags are already miles high. Along the last 10 feet of road, there are 10 largest companies. Their sales are roughly $ 10 billion and up: their flags fly 190 miles in the air , almost in the stratosphere (平流层) .

【1】What is the author’s main purpose in this passage?

A.To tell the reason why the largest firms are in New York.

B.To show the geographical distribution of the US businesses.

C.To provide a general idea of the size of businesses in the US.

D.To tell us how the United States businesses are arranged.

【2】What’s the correct order of the following places from east to west?

A.San Francisco, Reno, New York, Columbus.

B.San Francisco, Reno, Columbus, New York.

C.New York, Columbus, Reno, San Francisco.

D.New York, Reno, Columbus, San Francisco.

【3】Among the three parts of the imaginary road, which part, considering all the firms in it, has the

largest total volume of sales?

A.The last 75 miles. B.The last 50 miles.

C.The last 100 feet of the last mile. D.The last quarter of a mile.

【4】Which of the following diagrams shows the right order of size of the US businesses, according to

the text? (S =San Francisco  R =Reno  C =Columbus  N =New York  H =height  F = feet)

A. B.

C. D.

22、There are several changes in the procedure for employees who wish to apply for vacant positions within the company. These changes make it much easier for in-house employees to fill vacancies that occur.

First, the most important difference is that employees will now be notified of all available positions before the positions are advertised for the general public. Accordingly, all in-house candidates will be interviewed before we see any outside candidates, and we will offer the job to outside candidates only if no current employees are able to fill the position.

Second, under the new procedure, in-house employees can be hired even if they don’t meet all job requirements. Under our old policy, in-house employees had to meet all job qualifications in order to obtain the vacant position. Now, however, employees who have proven themselves dedicated to the company will be hired for a vacant position even if they are lacking in some minor qualifications; training will be provided.

A third change involves recommendations. From now on, employees do not need to be recommended for an in-house position before they apply. Instead, employees may apply as soon as they are aware of the vacancy. The remaining procedures and policies (those regarding increase in pay, interview procedure, and hiring approval) remain the same.

【1】What can we infer from the second change?

A．It becomes difficult for the company to find qualified employees.

B．The employees’ loyalty is highly valued by the company.

C．The company has lowered the requirements for some positions.

D．More and more training will be offered by the company.

【2】According to the new hiring procedures and policies, which of the following is NO longer needed?

A．A job application.

B．An interview.

C．A recommendation letter.

D．A hiring approval.

【3】What might be the impact of the changes made within the company?

A．More outside applicants will be attracted.

B．Higher salaries will be offered to the employees.

C．The procedures of vacancy application will be simplified.

D．In-house employees will have a better chance to fill the vacancy.

【4】Where do we most probably find this text?

A．On a poster about the company.

B．In a hiring advertisement.

C．In an inter-department email.

D．In a personal notebook.

23、Life is like a roller coaster; every point has ups and downs. The truly victorious people stay committed to their broad goals even in unplanned circumstances. One true example of such people comes from a woman passionate about spreading happiness and helping others. Nicole Thornes is a mother, a former police officer, and now serving society as a death doula.

Believing small efforts could comfort individuals and unite society, Nicole thought a police officer had the opportunity to prevent crime, bring justice and create a better society for everyone. She was determined to become a police officer to protect life and bring prosperity. All her passion and motivation drove her to pursue a Criminal Justice degree to become a police officer.

The sudden medical retirement called off her journey as a police officer, but her dreams and passion did not let her stop. So, she became a death doula, allowing her to be there for people whenever needed and provide comfort to the dying and their families during difficult times. She chose this field after her grandfather’s death. She couldn’t bear the pain of losing him; therefore, she decided to become a death doula and contribute her services to help those suffering from the pain of losing their loved ones.

Nicole Thornes has written her book, Daddy’s Home, covering true events of losing someone and inspiring readers to cope with the feelings of emptiness and recover from mental illness after losing someone close. Daddy’s Home inspires readers and tells them the importance of a new beginning, helping people lighten the burden from their chest after the grief of losing someone.

24、   Have you ever heard of invisible ink? You may have seen it in movies. When light is shone on the paper which invisible ink is written on, you can read it!

As magical as this seems, the change in color is due to science. The ink is absorbing higher energy light and giving lower energy light. This reaction is an example of fluorescence（荧光）.

Light is a very broad term that describes a range of electromagnetic rays, including gamma rays, infrared light（红外光）and ultraviolet light. One part of the electromagnetic visible light is the colors that we can see with the human eye. These rays travel in curvy lines and each type of the ray is characterized by a different wave pattern. For example, Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength than infrared light. Shorter wavelength is connected with higher energy, so gamma rays also have more energy than infrared light.

Corals（珊瑚）are animals that live underwater. And the corals in the Red Sea exhibit fluorescence. Why is this happening? Scientists have shown that fluorescent objects absorb higher energy light and release lower energy light. Since the corals of the Red Sea are deep in the water where there is very little visible light, scientists theorize that these corals absorb ultraviolet light and produce visible light. They have special photo proteins, which enable them to change invisible light to visible light.

Fluorescence is not just used to create pretty colors. Corals have developed photo proteins for a biological reason. The visible light is used by algae（海藻）, which are eaten by the coral, to make food through photosynthesis（光合作用）. The visual character of these photo proteins could also be used for biomedical research. They can highlight cells and cell structures under a microscope.

Isn't it amazing that a simple organism that we don't think very much of is not only grand but could also have so many potential uses in medical research!

【1】The author mentioned invisible ink to________.

A．describe its various uses in movies

B．analyze the many changes in colors

C．prove the magical power of science

D．give an explanation of fluorescence

【2】What can we learn about fluorescent corals from the passage?

A．They take in higher energy light.

B．They cannot live in visible light.

C．They are invisible deep in water.

D．They produce more infrared light.

【3】Why are the corals in the Red Sea fluorescent?

A．To make full use of photosynthesis.

B．To make their appearances colorful.

C．To provide light for algae to make food.

D．To defend themselves from being eaten.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and wet, and the street lamps gave little light. Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the silent night.

When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near behind him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued, and Frank began walking more quickly. Then he slowed down again, thinking there was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this. The short, quick steps grew louder until they seemed very near.

Frank found it impossible not to turn round. As he did so, he caught sight of a human from coming toward him. After reaching the other side of the bridge, Frank stopped and pretended to look down at the water. From the corner of his eyes he could now make out the form of a man dressed in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen.

As the man came near, Frank turned towards him and said something about the weather in an effort to be friendly. The man did not answer but asked roughly where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.

Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour. He knew that the person who lived there was very rich. Almost without realizing what he was doing, Frank began following the stranger quietly.

The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A light was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop onto the ground at the other side.

Paragraph l:

Now Frank knew what the man wanted to do.

Paragraph 2:

Frank couldn’t just stand in the dark and wait.
