21、The Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) is a love story, a sad and beautiful one. If it didn’t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl Mahal: its shortened form Taj Mahal, means “pride of the palace”. In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne. He decided, out of his love for his wife, to build her the most beautiful tomb that had ever been seen.
He summoned the best artists and architects from India, Turkey, Persia and Arabia and finally, the design was complete. It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahal, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
The building itself stands on a marble platform 29 metres square and 6-7 metres high. Towers rise from each of the four corners. The Taj itself soars another 61 metres into the air. It is an eight-sided building made of white marble.
The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. However, his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife.

23、 Inspired by a 9-year-old cyclist, Lauren Turner, who can only use one hand, a group of University of Guelph students has won an international award for their invention — a bike brake lever (刹车手柄) that pulls both the front brake and the back brake at the same time.
Lauren Tuner was able to ride her bike, but not as confidently and quickly as her friends.
“She couldn’t use the front brake. She only used the back brake, but the front brake makes you stop twice as fast,” says Micha Wallace, who, with Katie Bell, Anina Sakaguchi and Andrew Morries won second prize in the James Dyson Award for their single-handed bike brake lever.
“Lauren Turner tried the device (装置) first and she used it all last summer. She had no problems. It helped her go faster because she felt more confident in her braking abilities. She felt safer.” says Wallace.
The invention was the fourth-year design project for the four students. They designed, tested and created a prototype (模型) within a four-month period.
When Wallace heard about the James Dyson Award on the news, she and her co-inventors entered their project in the U. K. -based contest, which rewards students designers who create products that improve the way we live. The students collected the runner-up prize — £2,000 for them and £500 for their school.
As well, they had a chance to meet James Dyson, a U.K. famous inventor. Praising the students for their invention, Dyson says the single-handed brake lever could improve safety for all cyclists. By using both brakes at once, you could prevent the possibility of flying over the handlebars and ending up with an injury.
The students hope to sell it to a major company. It may be used in other devices that require two hands for operation.
【1】According to the passage, the James Dyson Award was named after ________.
A. a well-known place B. a famous inventor
C. a famous university D. a government leader
【2】The underlined part “the runner-up prize” in Paragraph 6 means ________.
A. the second prize B. the rich prize
C. the big prize D. the prize for runners
【3】According to the passage, we know that the brake lever ________.
A. has already been widely used
B. can only serve the disabled cyclists
C. can protect you from any injuries
D. will have a wide market in the future
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Bikes Will Be Safer in the Future. B. The James Dyson Award.
C. Student Inventors Win U.K. Prize. D. Help and Care for the Disabled.
24、Archerfish(射水鱼), a species famous for spitting (吐) water to shoot insects out of the air, can recognize one human face from another.
In the laboratory, instead of shooting insects, the fish were taught to spit at pictures of human faces showed on a computer screen outside their aquarium. The fish were first introduced to two faces, and taught to spit at one of them in exchange for a food reward. The researchers then tested whether the fish would recognize and spit at the face they had learned from among 44 new ones. And they were right more than 80% of the time.
To the researchers’ surprise, even when they did that with faces that were in black and white, the fish were still able to find the face they were trained to recognize.
Telling one human face from another is a surprisingly difficult task. As we all have two eyes above a nose and a mouth, doing so depends on recognizing some extremely small differences.
“It has been supposed that this task is so difficult that it can only be completed by higher animals, which have a large and complex brain,” said Newport, whose study was published in the journal Scientific Reports. “But the archerfish were able to do this without having a neocortex, the most recently developed part of the brain. In humans, the neocortex governs our sense and language.”
“Fish have a simpler brain than humans and they don’t have the section of the brain that humans use for recognizing faces,” Newport said. “Even though, many fish show amazing visual (视力的) behaviors and therefore make the perfect subjects to test whether simple brains can complete complex tasks.”
【1】What were the archerfish asked to do in the laboratory?
A. Pick out the face they knew.
B. Shoot the computers from a far distance.
C. Count the number of faces on the screen.
D. Pick out black and white pictures from colorful ones.
【2】What can we learn about the archerfish?
A. They have a complex brain. B. Their neocortex is very large.
C. They belong to higher animals. D. They have excellent eyesight.
【3】What is the purpose of the text?
A. To encourage people to protect fish.
B. To introduce a kind of fish with special ability.
C. To introduce the result of a study on archerfish.
D. To show that animals with simpler brains are smarter.

26、阅读短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A walk around any park will bring you face to face with people doing exercises in early mornings. Nowadays the young and the old are caring more about their heath and are spending more time in gyms after work. Doing exercises benefits them in many ways.
The most obvious is the physical benefit. Sports make us fitter, quicker and stronger. Physical training is helpful to our health. Scientific studies have shown that regular exercise is a powerful tool against illness and aging. Indeed, many diseases are the results of lack of physical exercise.
The benefits do not end there. Sport is a character builder. While doing sports, we may feel exhausted, but it trains our willpower. To win a game we have to be determined. To go beyond others or ourselves, we have to push our limits and overcome all difficulties. We come to know that there is always room for improvement. Then, failures are also common in sport. We learn to adapt to new conditions, to judge our weaknesses and to gather strength from our defeats. The fast-moving nature of most sports also helps us to become quick-minded.
By joining in team sports, we learn to work with others. In sport fields, one person’s goal takes second place to a team goal. Every team member is working towards a common goal. To achieve it, cooperation is a must. Members must work as a team and achieve what they want most even if that means someone has to give up his or her interests for the team. For example, a cyclist may take the leading position for half of the game and then drop out so as to ensure the victory of their team.
Like art, sport is a good way to train ourselves psychologically as well as physically. So, why not do sports and experience the great effects of sport?
