21、On a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old river behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind his shoes and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, a crocodile (鳄鱼) was swimming toward him. His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became frightened and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him. From the shore, the mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile bit his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war between the two. The crocodile was much stronger that the mother, but the mother was much too eager (急切的) to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, ran from his truck, and shot (射击) the crocodile.

After several weeks in hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were badly scarred (留下疤痕) by the attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches (抓伤) where his mother’s fingernails dug deep into his skin in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

A newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his legs. And then, proudly, he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my Mom wouldn’t let go.”

22、

Zheng He was an amazing man. He was born in 1371. Eleven years later, he was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his government.

The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader between 1405 and 1433. Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships have even reached South America and Australia.

Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50,000 kilometers during the years of his travels. Zheng He led a fleet with 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers’ horses.

On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and treasures, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.

It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He’s travels. The Columbus(哥伦布) of the east, Zheng He, died in 1433. After that, the new king, had these trips stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels, because he believed the trips were unlucky and too expensive. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of great Zheng He.

【2】What do we know about Zheng He from the passage?

A．He travelled to India and Africa.

A．The King’s Seven Sea Trips

B．Zheng He’s Travels to Western Countries

C．Zheng He, the Columbus of the East

D．Zhu Di, the Great King

24、Have you ever heard of e-waste (电子垃圾), which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?

Most people just throw them away. With the development of electronic industry (电子产业), e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons (吨) of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

It’s important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine (城市矿藏). The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is surprising. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals (有毒化学物质) can get into the earth or air, affecting the environment and people’s health.

Apple, for example, now recycles people’s used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce e-waste, we can buy longer lasting electronic products. If you have unwanted electronics, find a new home for them. You can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.

【1】The following can become e-waste EXCEPT _______.

A．computers

B．mobile phones

C．plastic bags

D．MP4 players

【2】Which country produced the second most e-waste in 2014 according to the United Nations?

A．China.

B．America.

C．Japan.

D．France.

C．改善

D．影响

【4】We can _______ to reduce e-waste.

A．sell the electronics to Apple company
