21、 Beach volleyball (沙滩排球) is one of those sports that can be an exciting game to play and watch. It’s really easy, and all you need is sand, a net and a group of people, of any age or fitness level, who want to have fun.
Beach volleyball can be played with as few as two people in each team, making a total of four people. However, if you are less skilled and experienced in the game, it will be easier to play with a larger team. The more players you have, the less ground each person will be responsible for covering and the more time they will have to recover between shots. If you only have a few players, each of you will get a lot of running for the ball after each volley (截球). If you are looking for a relaxing, fun, low-key experience, choose larger teams.
Beach volleyball is similar to regular volleyball in its rules. However, even experienced volleyball players do not realize how much more difficult it is to run and jump on sand. Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface, play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a court. When an athlete trains for beach volleyball, he will focus on building lower body strength (力量) as well as upper body strength. Strengthening his legs is extremely important. This improves the player’s ability to move quickly and accurately on sand despite the resistance. The ability to jump high and land without injury is necessary for beach volleyball players.
Whether you are in it for the competition, or just to have a great time with your friends, beach volleyball can be extremely exciting and fun. You may start out with friends and may soon fall in love with the sport.
【1】When playing beach volleyball, in which of the following situation will you feel most relaxed?
A.Playing in a 2-person team.
B.Playing in a 4-person team.
C.Playing in a 6-person team.
D.Playing in an 11-person team.
【2】We can infer from Paragraph 3 that ______.
A.experienced volleyball players know clearly it is hard to run and jump on sand
B.lower body strength is more important than upper body strength
C.a person must have strong legs if he wants to run and jump quickly on sand
D.the rules of beach volleyball are the same as those of regular volleyball
【3】Why is playing beach volleyball much slower than playing regular volleyball?
A.Because it is not easy to move on sand.
B.Because beach volleyball has a larger court.
C.Because the teams of beach volleyball are larger.
D.Because beach volleyball players are not experienced.
【4】What does the author think of beach volleyball?

22、Proudly reading my words, I looked around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and Miss Lancelot stone-faced. I slowly raised the report, hoping to hide myself and burning to find out “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
When another classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: no re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather and the headmaster informed me of his approval that I could skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
【1】What did the author’s classmates think about his report?

D.Puzzling.
【2】What does the underlined word “burning” in Para. 1 probably mean?

B.He knew little about American history.
C.He was a new comer to the school.
D.He followed the advice to flip a coin.
【4】Why did the author say “Justice is sweet”?
A.He was allowed to redo the test.
B.He was devoted to his studies.
C.His efforts were recognized by school.
D.The punishment was reasonable.
23、Cats like climbing trees and there are logical reasons behind this behavior. Interestingly, due to some of their physical features, cats will meet trouble getting down from the trees after climbing up, which may seem unusual.
There are several reasons why cats climb trees, mostly to do with defensive purposes. Cats, as predators(捕食者), like to understand their environment well. As they are small animals, their scope of vision is considerably smaller. Cats often climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings to help them see any potential dangers.
While cats are predators, they are also easy to get attacked from larger animals, such as dogs or even other cats. A tree often provides a safe hiding place. In the wild, cars climb up trees to give them a resting or napping place that is out of predators’ range. It also helps disguise their presence.
Some cats may climb trees for fun, on occasion, or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities. Small cats frequently test out their claw skills by trying to climb up anything and everything, from bookcases to trees to a person’s leg. Climbing practice is good for cats; it can improve their strength and flexibility and teach them an important defensive skill.
If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down, the owner may wonder why its remarkable climbing abilities only work in one direction. A cat’s claws curve inward, allowing it to grip onto surfaces while going up head first. Unfortunately, this useful climbing curve does nothing to help the animal get back down again.
Eventually, most trapped cats will either jump out of the tree or realize that they can get down by going tail first. Either way, a cat up a tree is usually nothing to worry about; they are intelligent animals and will figure out how to get down sooner or later.
【1】According to the text small cats like to climb a person’s leg to______.
A. Show love to the person
B. Test out their claw skills
C. Avoid the attack from the dog
D. Get food from a person’s hand.
【2】Why do cats have trouble getting down from a tree?
A. They are afraid of height.
B. They are easy to get lost in a tree.
C. They don’t know how to jump off a tree.
D. Their climbing ability doesn’t help when climbing down.
【3】What should you do when you see a cat trapped in a tree?
A. Just let it alone.
B. Lead it down patiently.
C. Teach it the right way to get down.
D. Watch it closely until it comes down.
【4】What does this text mainly talk about.
A. Why cats like to climb trees.
B. Why cats can’t climb down a tree.
C. How cats manage to climb down a tree.
D. What owners do to help cats down a tree.
24、 Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, I've enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork and chopsticks!
Mum has sweet memories of the food from her home town in Sichuan, and often cooks spicy dishes.Thanks to this, Dad has come to love hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try even after many years of marriage to my mother. Even today he still does not take to eating things like chicken feet.
But I enjoy that sort of food myself. Last week, I went to the butcher's and asked, "Do you have pigs' ears?" "No," the butcher said, pulling at his own ears, "just these ordinary ones." He must have thought I was joking.
Dad can cook a super "full English breakfast" of bacon, eggs, beans, sausages and toast with butter. Mum and I just have to find a way to get him into the kitchen! He also does a typical Sunday roast.We all love roast beef and vegetables.
I'll never forget my first visit to China. Mum encouraged me to try different kinds of food. But just when I thought I could deal with all Chinese food, I came across stinky tofu, a horrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe. I gathered all my courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn't so bad. It reminded me of blue cheese, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate. Maybe I'll fall in love with stinky tofu, someday.
People say that one man's meat is another man's poison, but I feel at home with food from both my cultures.
【1】What can we learn from this passage? ______
A.I have enjoyed the food from two cultures since a little child.
B.Because of my Mum, Dad loves all kinds of Chinese food.
C.We all like roast beef and vegetables except Mum.
D.I have fallen in love with the stinky tofu now.
【2】What kind of person did the butcher probably think the author was? ______
A.Generous. B.Mean.
C.Humorous. D.Serious.
【3】What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean? ______
A.Resist. B.Like.
C.Allow. D.Mind.
【4】What's the passage mainly about? ______
A.Comparing two different cultures.
B.Trying some different foods.
C.Different eating habits in China and Britain.
D.The eating experiences of a mixed-race family.
