21、Years ago, a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands. However, most people were unwilling to work on farms along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that swept across the Atlantic, causing great damage to the buildings and crops.
As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady stream of refusals. Finally, a short, thin man of middle age approached the farmer. “Are you a good farm hand?” the farmer asked him.
“Well, I can sleep when the wind blows,” answered the little man. Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, decided to hire him.
The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt well satisfied with his work. Then one night the wind howled in loudly from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer took a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand’s sleeping quarters. He shook the little man and yelled, “Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!”
The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, “No sir, I have told you, ‘I can sleep when the wind blows’.”
Annoyed by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement, he discovered that all the straw had been well covered. The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coop and the doors were closed. The shutters (百叶窗) were tightly locked. Everything was tied down. Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew.
When you’re prepared spiritually, mentally and physically, you have nothing to fear. Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life?
【1】Why was it hard for the farmer to hire a hand?
A．The farm was damaged.
B．The environment was too hard.
C．The farm work was too tiring.
D．The farmer was bad-tempered.
【2】By saying “I can sleep when the wind blows”, the little man wanted to ________.
A．indicate he was prepared for the storm
B．show he was qualified for the job
C．express his desire for the job
D．make the farmer puzzled
【3】What can we learn about the little man?
A．He often made the farmer angry.
B．He didn’t carry out his duties well.
C．He got up late and went to bed early.
D．He was hard-working and experienced.
【4】What idea does the author convey in the text?
A．He who prepares in advance isn’t alarmed.
B．Everything is all set except one thing.
C．Fortune favours the prepared mind.
D．No investigation, no right to speak.

23、 So far we have focused on the textual elements of the Great Gatsby, but it's time to turn to structural concerns-the ways in which the patterns of language and imagery create the backbone of a story. I would say it's almost impossible to see these patterns in a single reading: it took me six to understand their full effects.
Where did that ending,the thinking of the green light, come from? Books have endings but a do chapters. The seeds for the ending of Gatsby are Planted at the end of chapter 1 , where Nick sees Gatsby for the first time: But I didn't call to him, for he gave a sudden hint that he was content to be alone--he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could see he was trembling. I glanced seaward--and saw nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock (码头). When I looked once more for Gatsby, he had vanished (消失), and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness.
It's all there:the dark water, the green light, the end of a dock, the stretching,reaching and desperate struggling-as well as the mysterious character of Gatsby.
Should a reader at the last chapter be expected to remember that scene in Chapter 1? Maybe. But perhaps the reader could benefit from a reminder. I found it in the novel's central scene in which Gatsby and Daisy are reunited after five years.
"If it wasn't for the mist we could see your home across the bay,"said Gatsby.
"You always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock."
Daisy put her arm through his unexpectedly, but he seemed absorbed in what he had just said. Possibly it had occurred to him that the great significance of that light had now vanished forever....Now it was again a green light on a dock. His count of enchanted (看魔) objects had reduced by one.
It is important to note the repetition of key words over significant spaces of text. The word vanished echoes (呼应)the end of chapter 1, Gatsby's vanishing act. But enchanted appears before the phrase at the end of the book,"a short enchanted moment.”
It just so happened that I was visiting Long Island while I was rereading this passage, when I noticed that it fell on the central chapter. The physical,structural,virtual center of the novel.
What are we to learn from this? It should remind us that a truly great work of art is beautifully and finely created. It should reveal how purposeful the strategic vision of the author is.Whatever its effect in Gatsby, it also serves as a writing lesson for the rest of us, whether we are writing fiction, nonfiction,biography, screenplays, or poetry.
【1】What is this passage mainly about?
A．Paragraph development.
B．Right words.
C．Story structure.
D．Textual elements.
【2】According to the passage,“the green light”is mentioned in at least________chapters in The Great Gatsby.
A．two.
B．three.
C．four.
D．six
【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．It took the writer six hours to discover the patterns of the novel.
B．The description in Para 3 has no links to the character of Gatsby.
C．The reappearance of some key words may just be coincidence.
D．The ending of the novel may remind readers of Chapter 1.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成一篇完整的短文。
Long long ago, there lived a girl named Eat. She was a good girl, but she never liked her name because all the kids made fun of her name. She ran away from everybody who laughed at her name, so Eat never really had friends. She played alone all the time.
One day, Eat went to her favorite place near the river behind her house, where she always spoke to the river. On that day, when talking to the river, she said, “You are so lucky, as you can travel to different places and always be with your friends — ducks, turtles, fishes, and plants. I wish I had more friends and wouldn’t be alone anymore.”
When she was bored talking to the river, she picked up some stones and tried to skip (打水漂) them across the river. However, she failed most of the time. Finally, she found a perfect stone. She held it tightly (紧紧地) in her fingers, and said to the river, “Oh, dear river, if I could skip this stone all the way across, I would wish for a dear friend just like you.” Saying this, Eat waved her arm back and threw the stone with full strength.
She watched the stone skip once, twice... and to her surprise, the stone went on skipping and finally, on the seventh skip, made it across the river onto the shore of the opposite side. Eat was totally amazed. She could not just believe her eyes.
Her happiness were disturbed (打断) when she heard footsteps coming towards her. Eat looked around and found a little girl was rolling down towards her. Eat hurried to get up to help. However, she lost her balance and fell off, too.
The little girl was crying and holding her knee. Eat pulled herself and went close to the girl, whose knee was bleeding (流血). She said gently to the little girl, “It will be alright. My house is nearby, let me help you. My mother will take care of the wound.”
