21、 One day in April, a special activity called“Food Street”was held on the playground at Railway No. 1 Middle School in Xi’an.
This activity was part of the English Art Festival in the school. The students in each class were divided(被划分) into some groups. Each group sold different kinds of foods. The students did the shopping and the cooking all by themselves. The students cooked delicious food such as fried chicken, potato chips and vegetables. They all worked hard and sold the food at low prices. The customers(顾客) were all students, teachers and parents. They were all pleased with the nice food.
“It’s really hard work,” said one of the students who took part in the activity. “We must make a plan before the cooking. We must know how much we should spend on the things we need. Also, we must learn how to serve customers well.”

22、 You experience and create all kinds of different energies that decide how you feel and what you do in your day. The things you say, think or do all produce energy that influences (影响) you and the people around you. If you work on creating more positive energy (正能量),you'll see improvements in your life and you'll touch more lives than you thought.
Energy comes in different forms, but all lead to some kind of reaction (反应) within us .Often, when I wake up I open the curtains(窗帘) to let the sunshine into the room. This is a great way to become energized in the morning. If it's raining, instead of letting it trouble me, I will find the good in it. I will be positive about the rain and look for the beauty in it. Whatever the weather, I fully enjoy the moment. So everything is beautiful energy.
The reason why we should focus on positive energy is that it is contagious(有感染力的).When you often take in the positive energy from people around you, it will be seen in the outer world.
My good friend Alex is perhaps the best example of this. He always goes to school with a bright smile on his face. He loves being close to nature and fully understands the beauty around him. He confidently keeps working towards his goal without worrying about whether he will succeed or not. I couldn't begin to tell you how many times people have told me stories about Alex making their day, or making them smile or simply making them feel good. Everyone loves being around him and they feed off his energy.
Some people think that positive energy is not easy to have, however, it's something we create in our day-to-day activities. If music is the easiest way for you to get energy, you can close your eyes to fully enjoy it. If being in nature is something that energizes you, try spending a little more time outdoors. When you create positive energy, it influences everything and everyone around you .In this way, we play a much larger part in the bigger picture than we realize.
【1】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Positive energy depends on good weather.
B.Music is the easiest way to get positive energy
C.The creation of positive energy helps make your life better.
D.People cant get positive energy through day-to-day activities.
【2】The example of Alex in the passage is to show___________.
A.everyone needs a good friend like Alex
B.some find it difficult to enjoy the moment
C.people with positive energy can influence others
D.a person can make many friends by sharing positive energy
【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Living a Long Life with Positive Energy
B.Creating Positive Energy for Positive Change
C.The Challenge of Making Positive Changes in Life
D.Different Kinds of Energy for Different Kinds of People
23、A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just become motherless. A bomb destroyed her home and killed her mother.
Every day, we see pictures like this on TV or in newspapers. We see young Iraqi children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers. They move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same size as their small bodies as they run away from their homes.
“Dad, why are the Americans attacking us? Are we going to be killed?” asks the son of Abu Sinar, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son. He tries to comfort him by saying, “The bombs are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. We are going to be all right.” Abu knows this isn’t always the truth, but what else can he do? In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to make them sleep so that they won’t hear the sound of bombing. And all the schools are closed.
“ All we can do is to listen to and hear the war,”said Abu. “People in Baghdad, men and women, young and old, have to live in fear. We don’t know where the next bombs are going. We can do nothing but wait to be killed.”

24、 Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants. Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it means something that is not yet finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has little experience as he is new to a situation. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today — a person who is new in a job.
About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the west of America. People used it to describe a man if he came from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didn’t have the skills to live in the hard country. Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). This comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. The Green Revolution is the name given to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains some years ago. It was the result of hard work by scientists who had green thumbs. Green is also the color used to describe the feeling — Jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster(怪兽) is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play Othello. It means the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants to get. In most places in the world, the color green is one of the traffic lights. Green has so many different meanings that we should know more to understand it better.
【1】A new soldier was called a greenhorn in the _________ century.
A.15th B.16th C.18th D.20th
【2】A person with a green thumb _________.

25、根据短文内容及所给提示,在文中的空白处填写一个正确的单词。
Internet is educational. Many people think children should be allowed to surf the Internet as they wish. 【1】 this way, they can look through different subjects on different kinds of websites according to their own interest. But in my opinion, children should always be watched while 【2】 (surf) the Internet.
Many websites have i【3】 and pictures that children should not see. There are many things that children don't understand. All of these may have some bad influence on 【4】 (child) development.
Also, it is 【5】(danger) to let children use chat rooms by【6】(them). Many parents tell their children not to talk to 【7】(stranger) on the street, so they should be careful on the Internet, too. What's more, sitting in front of a computer for a long time isn't good f【8】 children's eyes, so parents should monitor(监视) the time that children s【9】 on the Internet.
In a word, children should be kept away anything that could be bad for them. I 【10】(strong) believe that it is necessary for parents to watch their children when they use Internet.
