21、I like watching butterflies. Sometimes I think I’m the only girl who notices these quiet but beautiful things. But if it hadn’t been for a crowded restaurant, I wouldn’t have ever noticed Valeri.
Valeri was a new student. She walked to class with her books against her chest and her head down. She talked only when the teacher asked her a question. After a month at our school, she hadn’t made any friend.
One day at lunch, most tables being full, I had nowhere to sit. Valeri sat alone, book in hand. I walked over to her, “Is that a good book?” Valeri gave a small nod and went back to reading. “What’s it about?” I asked. After seconds of silence, she looked at me, her eyes shining, “Well, it’s about a dragon! This boy, Eragon, finds this dragon egg when he goes playing one day. He thinks it’s a rock! The egg hatches（孵化）and Eragon hides the dragon from his cousin and uncle until it gets too big .”
Two weeks later, I was sitting in the auditorium（礼堂）enjoying the talent show. Then a shy girl walked on stage. I recognized her immediately. Valeri held a violin in one hand and a bow in the other. She started to play. The notes formed a soft, sweet tune(曲调). The auditorium fell completely silent until we realized the music was finished. I smiled to myself. Valeri wasn’t just “a quiet girl”. She knew about wonderful books and could play the violin like nothing I’d ever heard. Like a butterfly, she was beautiful and amazing when you looked closely.
【1】The author went to sit beside Valeri because _______.
A. Valeri invited her to sit ther
B. Valeri’s book drew her attention
C. no more empty seats were left
D. she wanted to make friends with Valeri

A. Eragon’ father B. Eragon
C. Eragon’s cousin D. Eragon’s uncle
【3】Butterflies are mentioned in the text to show _______.

22、I came to love the way Morrie lit up when I entered the room. He did this for many people, I know, but it was his special talent to make each visitor feel the smile was unique.
“Ahhhh, it’s my buddy,” he would say when he saw me, in that foggy, high-pitched voice. And it didn’t stop with the greeting. When Morrie was with you, he was really with you. He looked at you straight in the eye, and he listened as if you were the only person in the world. How much better would people get along if their first encounter each day were like this instead of complaints from a waitress or a bus driver or a boss?
“I believe in being fully present,” Morrie said. “That means you should be with the person you’re with. When I’m talking to you now, Mitch, I try to keep focused only on what is going on between us. I am not thinking about something we said last week. I am not thinking of what’s coming up this Friday. I am not thinking about doing another Koppel show, or about what medications I’m taking.”
Morrie could spend every waking moment in self-pity, feeling his body for decay (腐烂), counting his breaths. So many people with far smaller problems are so self-absorbed, their eyes glaze over if you speak for more than thirty seconds. They already have something else in mind a friend to call, a fax to send, a lover they’re daydreaming about. They only snap back to full attention when you finish talking, at which point they say “Uh-huh”or “Yeah, really” and fake their way back to the moment.
“Part of the problem, Mitch, is that everyone is in such a hurry,” Morrie said. “People haven’t found meaning in their lives, so they’re running all the time looking for it. They think of the next car, the next house, the next job. Then they find those things are empty, too, and they keep running.”
【1】What is about Morrie?
A．He likes smiling to others.
B．He likes critical thinking.
C．He is a man of many ideas.
D．He is a man of many words.
【2】How do people usually react when someone is speaking to them?
A．They listen to others carefully.
B．They always talk about themselves.
C．They pay little attention to the conversation.
D．They complain to each other about life problems.
【3】How does the writer find Morrie?
A．Serious.
B．Lazy.
C．Optimistic.
D．Smart.
【4】What does the story convey?
A．People focus on material possessions in life.
B．People had better cherish the present moment.
C．People should learn how to strike up a conversation.
D．People seek for the next thing to achieve happiness.
23、The Great Depression that followed the stock market crash of 1929 saw hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work. In the years of great fear and depression, a lot of American citizens looked desperately to the federal government for assistance. Of all the programs designed by President Roosevelt when he took office in 1932, few were more criticized---or had more lasting impact---than the Work Projects Administration, better known as the WPA.
The intention of the WPA, which functioned from 1935 to 1943, was to design and administer public works projects to help relieve unemployment. The majority of these projects involved historic or artistic attempts. The WPA’s Writers Project, for example, was responsible not only for such practical works as state guidebooks but also for the collection of historically valuable oral histories. Over 2,900 of these records were collected in 24 states. They provide an irreplaceable firsthand account of people’s diets, customs, celebrations, and political and religious beliefs at the time.
The artworks created through the Federal Arts Project are one of the WPA’s most lasting achievements. Out-of-work painters, both famous and unknown, created paintings that beautified schools, libraries, and government buildings, WPA photographers traveled across the country recording the hardships of life on small rural farms. When the United States entered World War Ⅱ in 1941, WPA artists were enlisted to produce posters supporting the war effort. Many WPA artworks, including hundreds of small drawings picturing scenes of everyday life, still exist today.
【1】When did the Work Projects Administration begin to work?
A．In1929.
B．In1932.
C．In1935.
D．In 1943.
【2】What can be inferred about the WPA?
A．It was made up of several components.
B．It was President Roosevelt’s favorite project.
C．It played an important role during World War Ⅱ.
D．It trained artists before sending them out to work.
【3】How does the author mainly develop this text?
A．By examples.
B．By comparison.
C．Through a true story.
D．Through a persuasive argument.
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A．President Roosevelt designed the WPA.
B．The WPA helped relieve unemployment.
C．WPA artists painted pictures in schools and libraries.
D．The WPA produced many valuable and lasting works.
24、 Environmental groups and rock climbers are always at loggerheads because of the effect of rock climbing on the environment. There have been many examples, wherein rock climbers are accused of going into natural reserves and treating the animals, plants and rocks there badly. However, with the changing times, rock climbers are conscious and carry out minimal climbing.
Rock climbers hammer bolts (螺栓) on climbing routes and in the process damage the nature of rocks. In addition, climbing activities also have an effect on the animals and plants situated near the climbing area. The plants growing near the base of rocks are trampled (踩踏), and the animals living in the climbing area are forced out of their places, whenever humans are around. For example, during the summer climbing season, pregnant females of an endangered species of snake live in open areas like roadsides, exposed walls or rocks, where there is less canopy closure (树冠郁闭) compared to areas occupied by non-pregnant females and males. According to climbers, these open areas are very ft for climbing during summer.
Many rock climbers have understood the significance of wildlife plant and animal preservation and related issues, and therefore take measures to reduce effects on climbing areas. Considering the effect of climbing activities on natural reserves, various national parks and wildlife agencies have put forth certain regulations on climbers. There are seasonal closures of climbing areas to avoid illegal entrance of uninformed rock climbers.
Climbers are always expected to support wilderness preservation. Many environmental organizations have been formed to protect the environment and in the process draw up certain guidelines for rock climbers. Both sides have come to a common understanding of the effect of rock climbers on protected areas.
【1】What does the underlined part “at loggerheads” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.In support. B.In difficulty.
C.In disagreement. D.In communication.
【2】Why is the example of snakes mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A.To show how special their living habits are. B.To show rock climbing affects their lives.
C.To show climbers are exposed to great danger. D.To show how to avoid wild animals in summer.
【3】What do environmental organizations do to preserve wilderness?
A.Give guidelines to rock climbers. B.Accuse climbers of their climbing.
C.Close some secured natural reserves. D.Encourage climbers to choose open areas.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.Efforts made to protect rock climbers. B.The recent popularity of rock climbing.
