21、Have you heard of dodos (渡渡鸟)? The dodo was a kind of bird that was very large. You might not think it was a bird at all because the dodo could not fly. It was a member of the chicken family. It lived happily and safely until people arrived. European sailors (水手) found those birds in the 16th century on Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean.

When the sailors found the strange birds that could not fly, they were surprised. The Europeans on Mauritius Island and the pigs they brought with them found the birds very delicious. So large numbers of dodos were killed and no living dodos were found on the island in the following years. Later, the samples (标本) of some dodos were brought to England in the 17th century for the further study.

In fact, the extinction (灭绝) of dodos was caused by people. This was how the phrase “as dead as a dodo” came. It teaches us a big lesson. If we are not able to get along with nature, we will lose the things more than we would expect. And we should stop the activities that will be bad for the environment or other animals.

【1】When did European sailors find dodos?

A．In the 15th century.

B．In the 16th century.

C．In the 17th century.

D．In the 18th century.

【2】How did the European sailors feel when they saw those strange birds?

A．Happy.

B．Excited.

C．Surprised.

D．Terrible.

【3】Which of the following about dodos is TRUE according to the passage?

A．They were born on Mauritius Island and could fly well.

B．They lived a hard life until people arrived in the Island.

C．Their population became small only because pigs ate them.

D．You could find the samples of them in the 17th century in England.

【4】What’s the correct order about dodos?

a. People caused the extinction of the dodos.

b. European sailors discovered dodos on Mauritius Island.

c. The Europeans and the pigs found dodos very delicious.

d. Large numbers of dodos were killed on the Island.

A．b-a-c-d

B．d-c-b-a

C．b-c-d-a

A．dodos could not fly

C．no living dodos were found

D．we should protect animals

22、   I was traveling alone through the UK. To reach places that were off the public transportation map, I bought an old car, which cost most of my money. I couldn't afford to stay in the hotel, so I had to camp in my car for the rest of the trip.

One morning I awoke in my old car on a country road in Ireland and saw a single house. The water in my thermos（保温瓶）had gone cold, so I knocked on the door of the house. A woman opened it. I asked her for some hot water. But she wouldn't let me get away with just that! I was invited indoors. She asked me to sit at the table and have breakfast with her family. They filled my thermos before I left.

I was greatly moved. And I decided to pass the kindness on. The other day I met a young man who had been driving around to look for a parking lot. He looked increasingly upset. I was glad that I was able to point one out to him. His thankful smile was the hugest reward（奖赏）for me.

【1】The writer bought the car in order to ________.

A.serve the public B.travel more easily C.take the trip alone D.save more money

【2】Why did the writer camp in his car?

A.He was short of money. B.It was his habit.

C.He could have a better rest. D.It would be warmer.

【3】How did the young man feel at last?

A.Funny. B.Upset. C.Disappointed. D.Thankful.

【4】What's the main idea of the text?

A.Traveling alone is interesting. B.Sharing food is a pleasure.

C.Kindness is the sunshine in life. D.Smile is important to everybody.

23、   When you run into(撞上)someone on the bus, will you say “Sorry”? When you get help from others, will you say “Thanks”? You will if you are polite.

We learned this in primary school（小学）, but students seem to be less and less polite as they grow up. A new survey in Guangzhou shows middle school students aren’t as polite as primary school students. At middle schools, students start to swear(说脏话)and laugh at their classmates. Some students don’t listen to others.

Wu Lin, 13, from Fujian, learned to swear in middle school. “More than 10 of 22 boys in my class often swear,” Wu said. “We just swear for fun most of the time. But later, I understood that it was bad for me. So I stopped.”

Li Fangfang, 13, from Beijing, knows that laughing at others can really hurt. “Once, a classmate put up her hand to answer a question. But she didn’t give the right answer. Then some classmates laughed at her,” Li says. “From that day on, she never puts up her hand. Those laughing kids hurt her a lot.

“Impoliteness(无礼)comes from students’ growing pains(成长的烦恼),” says Wang Yamin, a teacher of English at Xiamen University of Technology. “Some middle school students become impolite because their classmates or parents do things in that way. They think it’s cool and funny. But our people are famous for politeness. Every student should speak and do things politely to respect（尊重）others and let others respect you.”

【1】When some students grow up, they are than they are in primary school.

A. more polite B. less polite C. polite D. as polite

【2】At last, Wu Lin thought that it was   for them to swear.

A. bad B. good C. healthy D. unhealthy

【3】Li Fangfang thought that laughing at others may   others.

A. help B. stop C. hurt D. respect

【4】. The best title of the passage is   .

A. Please be polite B. Don’t swear

C. Don’t laugh at others D. Respect others

24、These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year” between their graduation（毕业）from high school and their university（大学）studies. This means that they take a year off, to do something else, before they start their studies.

For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favourite activity-and Australia is the favourite place to go.

Many parents, teachers and business people agree that travelling can teach important values（价值）. Just like the 20-year-old young man William said, “During the gap year, I learnt to solve different problems all by myself and began to realize the importance of getting along with people of different cultures.”

There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects-helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country. Although（尽管）you don’t get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important skills-decision making and finding ways to problems, for example-that will help a student in a job one day.

Finally, the knowledge and experience you get will one day be very useful in an area you hope to study or work in.

If several university graduates（毕业生）are making applications for the same job, gap year work experience allows you to say, “I’ve already had some experience of this kind of work.” And that can help you get the job!

【1】More and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year” ________.

A．before they graduate from high school

B．before they graduate from university

C．before getting a job after graduating from university

D．before going to university after graduating from high school

【2】What is the favourite activity for most students in the UK?

A．Spending time in Australia.

B．Spending time in the UK.

C．Spending time with their teachers.

D．Spending time with their parents.

【3】What can’t students get in gap year work in the writer’s opinion?

A．Values.

B．Skills.

C．Experience.

D．Money.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Work for the poor

B．Take a year off

C．Apply for a job

D．Travel

25、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)

Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. There is an old Chinese saying: “A scholar need not leave his home to know what’s going on in the world.” Reading newspapers is, in my opinion, a must for a modern person. But how do newspaper e【1】 decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?

Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much f【2】 than newspapers. However, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print c【3】 different stories from those on TV.

Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and s【4】 to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.

Another factor (因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more people p【5】 to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the f【6】 page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.

Today, with so many newspapers and so many television and Internet sites, people can get their news quickly. Many newspapers have lost so many r【7】, so they have been forced to close.
