21、When milk arrived on the doorstep
When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s,we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5 year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen anote-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.
All of this was about more than convenience. There exited a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete（竞争）. Beside, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently, an old milk box the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. Took it home and planted it on the back porch（门廊）.Every so often my son’s friend will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
【1】Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out his coin changer ________ .
A．to show his magical power
B．to pay for the delivery
C．to satisfy his curiosity
D．to please his mother
【2】What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?
A．He wanted to have tea there.
B．He was a respectable person.
C．He was treated as a family mem ber.
D．He was fully trusted by the family.
【3】Why dose home milk delivery no longer exist?
A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
B．It has been driven out of the market.
C．Its service is getting poor.
D．It is forbidden by law.
【4】Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?
A．He missed the good old days.
B．He wanted to tell interesting stories.
C．He needed it for his milk bottles .
D．He planted flowers in it.
22、Humans have long been interested greatly in the idea of being able to walk on water. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever realizing this dream without artificial aid—we simply weigh too much, and all our weight pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.
However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water's surface with its feet. The lizard will reach a speed of 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans, we would need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create enough “hitting”.
But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour(玉米淀粉). By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a special mixture that doesn't behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(微粒) in the water get together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of this adequately thick liquid of cornflour.
Fun though all this may sound, it's still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings(救生圈) ready in case you start to sink—and take a bath afterward!
【1】Walking on water hasn't become a reality mainly because humans _________.
A. are not interested in it
B. are afraid to make an attempt
C. have not invented proper tools
D. have biological limitations
【2】What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage?
A. It is light enough to walk on water.
B. It can run across water at a certain speed.
C. Its huge feet make it able to stay above water.
D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.
【3】What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?
A. To help the liquid behave normally.
B. To turn the water into solid.
C. To create a thick liquid.
D. To make the water move rapidly.
【4】What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of humans’ walking on water?
A. It is risky but beneficial.
B. It is impractical though possible in thoery.
C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.
D. It is interesting and worth trying.
23、My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.
When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated (仔细考虑) the correct answer. So this time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”
Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, “No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child.”
Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”
I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.”
I asked, “Is it because it holds up your head?”
She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.”
Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.
【1】Why did the writer first think “ears” were the most important part of body?
A．Because he thought that the sound was sweet to hear.
B．Because he thought that the sound was essential to humans.
C．Because he thought that the sound can be heard by people.
D．Because he thought that the sound can pass through quickly.
【2】What happened to the writer’s family last year in the passage?
A．His house was burnt.
B．His mother left home.
C．His grandpa passed away.
D．His father was hurt in an accident.
【3】Where did the writer get the correct answer from his mother?
A．At home.
B．At the school.
C．At the station.
D．At the funeral.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A．We should learn to understand others’ pain.
B．We should listen to our mothers’ words.
C．We should hold up our head high.
D．We should often cry in life.
24、Sport is not only physically challenging, but can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical,emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find flaws in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters' performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress,which can lead to burnout.
【1】An effective way to prevent the bumout of young athletes is________.
A．to make sport less competitive
B．to increase their sense of success
C．to reduce their mental stress
D．to make sport more challenging
【2】According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that________.
A．it can help them learn more about society
B．it enables them to find flaws in themselves
C．it can provide them with valuable experiences
D．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves
【3】According to the passage, parents and coaches should________.
A．pay more attention to letting children enjoy sport
B．help children to win every game
C．train children to cope with stress
D．enable children to understand the positive aspect of sport
【4】The author's purpose in writing the passage is ________.
A．to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout
B．to persuade children not to worry about criticism
C．to stress the importance of positive support to children
D．to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement
