21、   There are over one million superstitions, and most people believe at least one or two of them. Many people are superstitious about numbers. They think that there are lucky numbers and unlucky numbers. The number 13 is often considered unlucky. In some parts of the world, buildings have no 13th floor and streets have no houses with the number 13.In Japan “4” is considered unlucky because in Japanese the word “four” is pronounced the same as the word “death”. The Japanese never give gifts of four knives, four napkins, or four of anything.

What are the lucky numbers? Seven is a lucky number in many places, and “8” is considered a lucky number in Japan and China. In China, businesses often open on August 8, and many couples register to get married at eight past eight on August 8. Superstitions about numbers are so widespread that some people called numerologists make a living by giving advice about numbers. In 1937, when the Toyoda Family of Japan wanted to form a car company, they asked a numerologist if “Toyoda” would be a good name for the company. The numerologist said it would not be. He explained that “Toyota” would be a better name for the company. The family took his advice. As a result, millions of people drive “Toyotas” and not “Toyodas.”

There are many other kinds of superstitions. There are superstitions about eating, sleeping, sneezing and itching. There are superstitions about animals and holidays and horseshoes.

There are even superstitions about superstitions. Those superstitions tell people how to reverse bad luck. When the Japanese bump (撞) heads, they immediately bump heads again.

According to a Japanese superstition, the first bump means their parents will die, but the second bump “erases” the first bump. To reverse bad luck in general, people turn around three times, turn their pocket inside out, or put their hats on backwards.

22、   An attitude is a habitual way of thinking，feeling and/or behaving towards particular objects, people, events or ideologies (意识). Our attitudes allow us to turn mistakes into opportunities, and loss into the chance for new beginnings. We use our attitudes to explain and respond to the world around us. You weren't born with attitudes, rather they are all learned, and this            happens in a number of ways.

The most powerful influences occur during early childhood and include both what happened to you directly, and what those around you did and said in your presence. As you acquire a distinctive identity, your attitudes are further improved by the behavior of those with whom you identify — your family, those of your gender and culture, and the people you admire, even though you may not know them personally. Friendships and other important relationships become increasingly important, particularly during teenagerhood.

Many people believe that our attitudes are internally consistent (一致的), that is, the way you think and feel about someone or something predicts your behavior towards them. However, many studies have found that feelings and thoughts don't necessarily predict behavior. For example, many say they believe in the benefits of recycling or exercise，but don't behave in line with their views, because it takes awareness, effort and courage to go beyond merely stating that you believe something is a good idea.

One of the most effective ways to change an attitude is to start behaving as if you already feel and think the way you'd prefer to… Take some time to reflect 'on your attitudes, to think about what you believe and why. Is there anything you consider a burden rather than a privilege? If so, start behaving — right now — as if the latter is the case.

【1】What do we learn from the passage about attitude?

A．It shapes our beliefs and ideologies.

B．It improves our psychological health.

C．It changes the way we interact with one another.

D．It determines how we react to our environment.

【2】What can contribute to the improvement of one's attitude?

A．The educational level.

B．Their contact with the opposite gender.

C．The idols' behaviors.

D．The interaction with different cultures.

【3】Why don't many people do what they believe is good?

A．They can't afford the time.

B．They have no idea how to.

C．They lack willpower.

D．They are not honest.

【4】What is recommended as a strategy to change attitude?

A．Starting to act in a way that matches one's expectations.

B．Changing things that require one's immediate attention.

C．Adjusting one's behavior gradually over a period of time.

D．Finding ways of reducing one's psychological burdens.

23、When I was 10, I was always joked by my fellow Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) mates, including John. Words were like, “Dick is the best player in the CCA! He only knows how to play ‘Mary had a Little Lamb’ on the trumpet (小号)!”

Once, the moment I left the school, I took out my earpiece, listening to recordings like a broken recorder. I got so engrossed (专注) that I didn’t see the wall in front and fell on the ground. Luckily for me, a passer-by saw what had happened and immediately called the ambulance. When I woke up in the hospital, however, the nurse told me that I suffered severe leg injuries. I could have stopped practicing but that was not what I wanted. I wanted to practice even in the hospital. “One leg injury would not stop me; it would only make me feel more motivated,” I replied to the nurse.

That was a hard period of my life. If I had not been careless, I would not have this problem. Yet if I haven’t gotten myself into this problem, I would not be as motivated and would not have that experience teaching me a life lesson. My parents and my best friend had come to give me emotional support, telling me what had happened during CCA today and advising me on how to become a better player. After day-and-night hard practice, I finally perfected and went back to my CCA.

On the selection day itself, the conductor praised me and asked how I had improved so much. I explained that it was because of my determination, my family and my friends. The conductor then said that I was a role model and that the whole band should follow my motivation and practice instead of being like John. This experience made me what I am today. Currently, I am the best player and the head of the secondary school military band.

【1】What did the author want to do after hearing the nurse’s words?

A．Go back to his team.

B．Continue his practice in the hospital.

C．Stop practicing and get some rest.

D．Meet his family and friends.

【2】Why was the author praised by the conductor?

A．He got the first prize on the selection day.

B．He didn’t give up even with severe injuries.

C．He performed better than John.

D．He was selected the head of the band.

【3】What word can best describe the author?

A．Creative.

B．Intelligent.

C．Determined.

D．Friendly.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．A terrible accident

B．An unexpected result

C．A desire to be better

D．An experience to shape myself

24、阅读理解

Washington: NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface. The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface, according to new Hubble observations.

New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon, which is the largest in our whole solar system, is home to a subsurface ocean.

Scientists estimate that the oceanis 95 kilometres thick, which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans. But unlike our salty waters, Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice.

While scientists have speculated (推测) since the 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede — the largest moon in our solar system — until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft, which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean.

This discovery marks an important milestone, highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish. In its 25 years in orbit, Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system. A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.

Scientists_have_already_confirmed_the_existence_of_an_ocean_on_Europa,_another moon orbiting Jupiter, and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water.

Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth, but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets. Using these same principles, scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant exoplanets as well.

【1】What can we learn about Ganymede from the passage?

A．It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system.

B．Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth.

C．It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope.

D．Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft.

【2】Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards Hubble?

A．Cautious.     B．Doubtful.

C．Negative.     D．Favourable.

【3】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean?

A．An underground ocean has been found in Europa.

B．The presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible.

C．It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa.

D．No evidence has shown the existence of an ocean on Europa.

【4】What type of writing does this passage belong to?

A．A term essay.

B．A news report.

C．An experiment report.

D．An exploration review.

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。

Once upon a time, there lived a young man who wished he could support himself. While exploring what business he would take on, he met a very well-traveled man. The man told the young man great tales of his travel, and then he talked about a country that had no onions.

Without any further thoughts, he bought onions, filled his cart and set his journey towards this wildly fantastic land without onions. Finally, after several days he arrived in the onion-less country. “I bring you a great gift from my country,” the young man proudly announced. “The plant is native to my place but new to yours. It has the unique ability to improve the flavor (滋味) of any food. It would be great if I could offer you this magic plant which you, in turn, introduce to your people.” The emperor was a little cautious about letting the strange plant in at first, but he later allowed the young man to prepare some foods using the onions.

The young man used all his skills to prepare the feast using the onions. All the empire’s ministers, the nobility and senior officials were invited to the dinner that night. After the young man did the initial tasting, the feast began. Then, everyone in the room started eating the food. It didn’t take long for the hall to get into a great noise of excitement. All praised the smell and the taste of the food. The emperor thanked the young man a lot, demanded all of the onions, and paid him its weight in gold.

On his journey back home, the young man met a trader. For hours that night, the young man told what he had seen in that faraway land, where gold was worth less than onions. He also told the trader that he learned that the country did not have garlic (大蒜). The trader was excited.
