21、 Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he seldom spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.
On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle's exciting tales.
He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
'It sounds as if the roof has fallen in! ' cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh.
When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle's stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured,perhaps killed.
That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!
【1】Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage?
A.Because he was used to living abroad.
B.Because there was no furniture in it.
C.Because the cottage was in bad condition.
D.Because the roof of the cottage was falling.
【2】When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because ________.
A.there was too much dust in the air
B.something strange blinded them
C.it was completely dark inside
D.it was too bright inside
【3】The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because ________.
A.he saw a strange sight
B.he did not miss the exciting stories
C.he spent more time with his uncle
D.he had a lucky escape
22、Exploit your parking space
An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement（广告）for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.
Rent（出租）a room
Spare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommate easy.
Make money during special events
Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise your space.
Live on set
Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.
Use your roof
You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment(around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.
【1】If you earn ￡5000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ______.
A. ￡500 B. ￡800 C. ￡4500 D.5000
【2】Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event?
A. On Letpark. B. On Grashpadder.
C. On Roomspare. D. On Roommateeasy.
【3】If you want to use energy free, you have to_____.

【4】For whom the text most probably written?

23、 All of us know that smoking does harm to our health. But do you think everything will be OK as long as you quit smoking?
Unfortunately, the answer is NO.
New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed—a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their daily lives while doing things like smoking. When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years. This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years, It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) —it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry. Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.
【1】Paragraph 1 is written to ________ .
A. give an example B. show the main idea of the passage
C. make an argument D. introduce the topic of the passage
【2】How many genes does a person have according to the passage？
A. About 2,300. B. About 3,500.
C. About 21,000. D. About 28,000.
【3】Most genetic changes happen because of________ .
A. people’s bad living habits B. environmental pollution
C. people’s condition at birth D. heart disease and cancer
【4】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to .
A. the cement B. the harmful effect
C. the footprint D. the genetic change
【5】Which of the following statements is true?
A. The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.
B. The findings offer evidence(证据) that a damaged gene can heal itself.
C. The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking
D. The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking
24、Peer pressure comes in when we get influenced by the lifestyles and the ways of thinking of our peers. Almost everyone, from different walks of life, must have experienced peer pressure in some way or the other at a given point in time. Every coin has two sides. Some people get positive influence from it whereas others tend to get negatively influenced.
On the one hand, peer pressure can actually leave a positive impact on your life if you carefully pick certain good habits from your peers. Your peers may teach you some good things about life and encourage you to follow them. For instance, if you see your peers doing something for a noble cause, you may also like to adopt their certain habit. This will help you to change yourself for the better. Adopting good habits of your peers can actually bring about a positive change not only in your life but also your way of thinking.
On the other hand, blindly following peers and not holding an opinion of your own might leave a negative impact on your life. There might be a particular idea, a habit, or a lifestyle which you personally dislike and would not like to accept. However, your peer group would want to force you to do something which is against your own will. Therefore, it is better to learn something from peer pressure by adopting good habits and avoid giving in to its negative side.
One of the easiest ways to get out of a peer induced situation is to simply say “NO” and walk away. You may not feel as cool at the time, but you will be thankful later on what you did. Take a stand for what you believe is right. Taking a stand is never easy, but it’s the right thing to do. Standing up for yourself demonstrates self-respect to your peers and is one of the key components of breaking the peer pressure cycle.
【1】What is the author’s attitude to peer pressure?
A．Reserved.
B．Objective.
C．Critical.
D．Positive.
【2】How is Paragraph 2 developed?
A．By comparison.
B．By example.
C．By inference.
D．By experience.
【3】What suggestion does the author give to overcome peer pressure?
A．Go with the flow.
B．Escape from peers.
C．Submit to peers.
D．Stick to what is right.
【4】What is the text?
A．An official report.
B．A story description.
C．A phenomenon discussion.
D．A personal reflection.
