21、Once upon a time, people could not write and they had no books. But they had stories.

The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on flat sheets made from papyrus (纸莎草) plants. They glued many papyrus sheets together to make one long strip (条). Then they rolled the strip around a stick to make a scroll. People in other areas also used parchment (羊皮纸) instead.

In ancient China, books looked a little different. People there first carved (雕刻) words into bone or tortoise shell (龟壳). Later they used ink to write on strips of bamboo or silk. Then the Chinese invented (发明) paper. The first paper was made from waste cloth, but later plant materials were also used. The invention spread slowly across the world, reaching Europe in the 1100s. Then people used paper to make early books.

But all these early books still had one big problem. Every single book had to be copied out by hand. If there were pictures, each page had to be painted by hand, one at a time. This made books rare and expensive — though also very beautiful.

The Chinese were the first to think of a way to speed things up a little. In 1040, a man named Bi Sheng invented movable type printing (活字印刷). Movable type worked by carving a single Chinese word on a block of wood or clay. These could then be together with other words to create sentences, or whole pages.

In the 1400s Johannes Gutenberg of Germany invented a new way of printing. It used movable type — metal letters that could be arranged (排列) and rearranged to form words. It also used a machine called a press. Gutenberg’s inventions made printing became faster and easier.

As more books became easy to get, more people learnt to read. In the past, books were a luxury only the rich could buy. But with the printing press, they soon became a treasure everyone could enjoy.

【1】What did the ancient Chinese first use as paper?

A．Papyrus sheets.

B．Parchment.

C．Bone or tortoise shell.

D．Strips of bamboo or silk.

【2】Why were early books rare and expensive?

A．Because the invention of paper spread slowly across the world.

B．Because every book including pictures had to be copied out by hand.

C．Because ancient people didn’t have enough money to buy books.

D．Because people in ancient Europe didn’t invent paper like the Chinese.

【3】Who invented the machine called a press?

A．The ancient Egyptians.

B．The ancient Chinese.

C．Bi Sheng.

D．Johannes Gutenberg.

【4】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “luxury”?

A．something old

B．something new

C．something expensive

D．something cheap

【5】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?

A．The invention of parchment.

B．The invention of paper.

C．The invention of movable type printing.

D．The invention of Chinese words.

22、Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes. In exchange, they get some money or other computer time.

Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.

But some people don’t think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of housework is a team effort”, Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”

Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards”, says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them”.

【1】Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A．Washing the dishes.

B．Cooking meals.

C．Folding the clothes.

D．Making the bed.

【2】The underlined phrase “in return” in Paragraph 3 has the same meaning as “________”.

A．as a reward

B．for punishment

C．on sale

D．under control

【3】What is Walton’s idea in the passage?

A．Running exercise is a kind of team work.

B．People work to get some rewards.

C．Kids have responsibilities in the house.

D．Doing housework is only the parents’ job.

【4】According to Chris Bergman, kids should be encouraged to ________.

A．do housework without rewards

B．do less housework

C．stay away from housework

D．do housework by getting rewards

23、A poor farmer had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew.

One day, his friend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when he got home, he did not know where to plant it.

He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit. Finally, he planted the tree in his woods where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died.

Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place. “What’s the difference?” the farmer said angrily. “If I had planted the tree near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit.”

“Yes,” said the friend, “but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit. Now you not only have robbed (抢夺) everyone of the fruit, but also you have destroyed (推毁) a good apple tree!”

【1】Why didn’t the farmer want to plant the tree in his field?

A．He thought strangers would steal the fruit.

B．He thought the tree would die.

C．He thought his children would take the fruit.

D．He thought his neighbors would steal the fruit.

【2】Why did the young tree die in the end?

A．Strangers pulled out the tree.

B．His neighbors cut down the tree.

C．His children broke the tree.

D．There was no sunlight and the soil was poor.

【3】What does the story tell us?

A．We should care about others’ feelings.

B．We should learn to share beautiful things.

C．The young tree can grow up one day.

D．The young tree can provide apples for us when it grows up.
