21、My two daughters and I got into the car to spend our weekend in Florida. Autumn, the elder one, offered to drive. I sat next to her, and Amber sat in back. After setting off, the three of us sang to the radio at the top of our voice.

It was a great trip until the rain poured and the rain was too heavy. “I have to pull over, ” Autumn said. She tried to enter the far right lane (车道) to find a place to stop, but trucks ran fast, making water onto our car. The car was out of control, then worse — it started to move left and right. Autumn fought to control it but it was too late. We ran into a truck. The girls jumped out of the car. My chest felt much pain.

“Get out, Mom. Come on！” Amber cried. “I can't,” I said. Autumn took out her cellphone, “There's been an accident. Send an ambulance (救护车)！” Amber and Autumn pulled me out of the car and helped me lie on my back in the grassy area by the roadside. I had to calm myself and looked up. A man held a large umbrella over me and other kind faces appeared above me. A woman helped to treat a cut over Amber's eye. Another woman came close to me and said, “No one in the truck was injured. Help was on the way.” The woman mentioned she was a nurse; the other woman who took care of Amber's cut was an eye specialist. We couldn't have asked for better care.

In the hospital the pain in my chest began to disappear. Later, the tests at the hospital made sure we had no serious injuries. We'd left all our troubles behind thanks to these kind people, who seemed to be angels (天使) in my eyes.

22、   “Food is the first necessity of the people” is a famous Chinese old saying, which reflects that Chinese have paid much attention to food since the ancient times. The importance of food in people’s daily life in China can be seen in the way they send greetings to each other, “Have you eaten?”, which is far away from the way people greet in western countries and has been seen as a characteristic of Chinese culture.

Food in China generally includes rice, wheat, buckwheat, corn, potato, sweet potato, beans and varieties of vegetables. Besides, wheaten food such as Mantou (steamed bun), noodle, Youtiao (deep-fried dough stick), Xiaolongbao (steamed pork-stuffed dumpling in bamboo basket), and: many other local snacks, are commonly seen on the table in China.

Regionally, a general feature of spicy east food, sweet south food, sour west food and salty north food can be summarized, but flavors of food in places differ from each other as a matter of fact. Generally, people living in South China pay more attention to nutrition and prefer delicate, tasty and refreshing food such as rice porridge and soup; however, spicy hotpot is always people' s favorite in the southwest areas due to the wet and rainy climate. And, people living in North China prefer wheaten food such as Jiaozi, noodles, while all kinds of steamed bun and beef and mutton are most popular in northwest areas.

【1】The expression “Have you eaten?” functions the same as_______________.

A.Are you hungry? B.What did you eat?

C.Hi! How are you doing? D.When will you eat?

【2】Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a general Chinese food?

A.steak and mutton B.rice and wheat

C.corn and potato D.beans and vegetables

【3】Why do people in Sichuan province like spicy hotpot?

A.Because they live in the east of China. B.Because it is too cold in winter there.

C.Because it rains a lot and is too wet. D.Because spicy food makes them eat more.

【4】The last paragraph is mainly about_______________.

A.people living in South China like sweet food B.Chinese food habits are different in areas

C.people in North China prefer wheaten food D.how people prepare food in different areas

23、“Mobile phone killed my man,” screamed one headline last year. Also came claims that an unpublished study had found that mobile phones could cause memory loss. And a British newspaper devoted its front page to a picture supposedly showing how mobile phones could heat the brain.

For anyone who uses a mobile phone, these are worrying times. But speak to the scientists whose work is the focus of these scares and you hear a different story.

One of the oddest effects comes from the now famous“memory loss” study. Alan Preece and his colleagues at the University of Bristol placed a device that imitated the microwave radiation of mobile phones to the left ear of volunteers. The volunteers were good at recalling words and pictures they had been shown on a computer screen. Preece says he still can’t comment on the effects of using a mobile phone for years on end. But he rules out the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive（认识的）abilities. “I’m pretty sure there is no effect on short-term memory,” he says.

Another expert, Tattersall, remarked that his latest findings have removed fears about memory loss. One result, for instance, suggests that nerve cell synapses（神经元突触） exposed to microwaves become more — rather than less — receptive to undergoing changes linked to memory formation.

An even happier outcome would be that microwaves turned out to be good for you. It sounds crazy, but a couple of years ago a team led by William Adey at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in California found that mice exposed to microwaves for two hours a day were less likely to develop brain tumours when given a cancer-causing chemical.

“If it doesn’t certainly cause cancer in animals and cells, then it probably isn’t going to cause cancer in humans,” says William. And while there’s still no absolute evidence that mobile phone use does damage your memories or give you cancer, the conclusion is: don’t be afraid.

【1】Mobile phone users are worried because ______.

A. they are not sure whether mobile phones can cause memory loss

B. it’s said that mobile phones have a lot of side effects

C. one headline reported “Mobile phone killed my man”

D. a British newspaper showed mobile phones could heat the brain

【2】According to the scientists, ______.

A. there is no evidence that mobile phones cause illness in people

B. the more people use mobile phones, the healthier they’ll be

C. mobile phone users are less likely to develop cancer

D. mobile phones’ radiation is the same as the general radiation

【3】According to this passage, we can know that _____.

A. the mobile phone is a most wonderful invention

B. there’s no need to worry about the radiation from mobile phones

C. something must be done to stop people using mobile phones

D. mobile phone companies shouldn’t cheat customers

【4】The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ______.

A. mobile phone radiation

B. a cancer-causing chemical

C. a happy outcome

D. a brain tumour

【5】What would be the best title for this passage?

A. New Mobile Phones.

B. Special Mobile Phones.

24、“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhooD．

One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1．25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door．

Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work．As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year．Bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later．It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant．A big mistake．

Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes．The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush．The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves．

Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is two fold（方面）：First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won．Second, I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light．

Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses．Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow．

【1】What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?

A． Frequent pruning and fertilizing

B． Tomato plants grown alongside

C． Cages placed around the roots

D． A lot of care and the right soil

【2】The writer planted the tomato because_______．

A． there was room for it in the garden

B． it cost only $1．25

C． the soil was just right for it

D． the roses’ branches needed to be covered

【3】This year the writer’s roses were _______．

A． removed from the rose bed

B． picked along with the tomatoes

C． largely hidden under the tomato plant

D． mostly damaged by too much sunlight

【4】By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to_______．

A． show the hardship of growing the roses

B． show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes

C． express her liking for the roses

D． express her care for the tomatoes

25、   I was walking home from school one day and it happened to be a particularly _______and windy day. It was cold and I was crazy enough to forget my hat and scarf. You can imagine my cheeks were rosy red and my hands were as numb(麻木的) as they could be.

All of a sudden, an old lady _______ up beside me and asked if I would like a ride home. At first, I said it was OK and her _______ smile melted (融化)away the thought that I should never talk to _______! We had an amazing chat and she was just such a good woman. She told me her _______ and she dropped me off.

I didn't see her or talk to her for about a month and one night as I _______ her kind gesture (姿势) I decided to return the favor. So, I made a lot of _______ and walked down to her house with my friend. At first I was a bit _______ that she wouldn't remember me or think that I was a bad man who poisoned cookies but luckily, I was _______ wrong. She was so happy, and she hugged me and kissed me and seemed so __________ that someone would do something like that!

When I got home my mom told me that she __________ and told my mom on the phone that she __________ because she was so touched. She said she would never __________ the kindness that was given to her! That filled me with such __________! There really is nothing else joyful like __________ others and making someone’s day brighter!

Let us never forget the joy we get by giving others a hand!
