21、Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.
Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the town’s newspaper. The Beldon Post:
FIRE AT SEABREEZE
Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors: “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years.
The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one:
ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE
Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.
What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel.

22、How many people have I met who have told me about the book they have been planning to write but have never yet found the time? Far too many.
This is Life, all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal(排演)and, unhappily, we do miss so many of its best moments.
We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families, always making ourselves believe that this style of life is only a temporary(暂时的)state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do. Then, at 60 or 65, we are suddenly given a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for Real Life to come along were in fact real life.
In America they have a saying much laughedat by the English: “Have a nice day.” They speak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderful phrase, making us remember, in effect, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day.
How often do we say to ourselves “I’ll take up horse-riding(or golf, or sailing)as soon as I get a greater job.” But only to do none of those things when we do get the higher position.
When I first became a reporter I knew a man who gave up a very well-paid respectable job at Daily Telegraph to go and work for a small weekly newspaper. At the time I was surprised by his decision: Why was he in this completely abnormal mental(精神) state? How could anyone turn his back on Fleet Street in central London for a small area in the countryside? I wanted to know.
Now when I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man was under continuous pressure. He lived in all unattractive London suburb(郊区)and he spent much of his life sitting on Southern Region trains to and back from his work.
【1】 The first paragraph of the passage tells us that .
A. we always try to find some time to write a book
B. we always make plans but seldom complete them
C. we always enjoy many of life’s best moments
D. we always do what we really want to do
【2】 The underlined phrase “turn his back on” (Paragraph 6) most probably means .
A. leave for B. return to C. rely on D. give up
【3】The man who worked at Daily Telegraph left this job because he was .
A. under too much pressure
B. in an abnormal mental state
C. not well-paid
D. not respected
【4】What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. Provide Homes for Our Family
B. Take Up Horse-Riding
C. Value This Very Day
D. Stay Alive
23、It is a very common thing for a person to have a good friend. My good friend is Diana. She is a rich and proud girl. She often thinks that she is too good to anyone, so nobody wants to be her friend.
One day after school, I was waiting for Diana when Vivien came up to me. She gave me a biscuit and I accepted it. We talked and joked, and from then on, I began to spend more time with Vivien than with Diana. I felt a little uneasy.
After a few days, I went to see Diana with some snacks when Vivien came and sat with me. She offered me a sandwich. She also offered one to Diana, but Diana refused it. She walked away. I was angry with Diana for being so rude. “Never mind.” Vivien said, “I am used to it.”
After school, I tried to catch up with Diana. While walking home, I tried to correct her attitude, but she didn’t listen to me. She said, “Go and join your “dear” Vivien. I know you make a new friend and forget the old one.”
For the next few weeks, we didn’t talk to each other. Then, one day, Diana came to Vivien and me, saying, “ I am really sorry about what I did. I am a spoiled girl but I also need good friends just like you. Would you please forgive me?” Vivien and I looked at each other and smiled. From then on, Diana, Vivien and I have been best friends.

24、After an absence of thirty years, I decided to visit my old school again. I had expected to find changes, but not a completely different building. As I walked up the school drive, I wondered for a moment if I had come to the right address. The dirty red brick houses had been swept away. In its place stood a bright, modern block. A huge expanse of glass extended (延展) across the face of the building, and in front, there was a well-kept lawn (草坪) where previously there had been “an untidy gravel (沙石) yard”.
I was pleased to find that it was bread time and that the children were all in the playground. This would enable me to meet some members of staff(职员). On entering the building, I was surprised to hear loud laughter coming from what appeared to be the masters’ common room. I could not help remembering the teachers in my time, all dressed in black gowns (长袍) and high collars (领子). And above all, I recalled Mr Garston whom we had nicknamed “Mr Ghastly”, the headmaster who had iron discipline(纪律) on staff and pupils alike. I knocked at the common room door and was welcomed by a smiling young man who introduced himself to me as the headmaster. He was dressed casually in a sports jacket, and his cheerful manner, quickly dispelled (驱散) the image of Mr Ghastly. After I had explained who I was, the headmaster presented me to the teachers all of whom were a little younger than himself, and said he would take me round the school.
Here the biggest surprise of all was______(在等待)me. Gone were the heavy desks of old with their deeply carved names; gone too, were the dark classrooms with their ink stained, dark brown walls, and their raised platforms for the teachers. The rooms now were painted in bright colors, and the children, far from sitting straight in their places, seemed almost free to do as they liked. I looked with envy(嫉妒) as I remembered how, as a child, I had looked at the blackboard hardly daring to whisper to my neighbor.
【1】“Mr Ghastly” must be ______.
A. the writer’s teacher B. a serious old man
C. the strict headmaster D. a naughty boy

B. In the writer’s time, all the teachers were dressed in black gowns and high collars.

D. An untidy gravel yard had disappeared.
【3】From what is said in the passage, it seems clear that the writer ______.
A. disapproved of all the changes that had taken place
B. felt sorry for the children in the school
C. was glad that the school was still the same
D. felt that conditions at the school had improved a lot
25、Every year, many dolphins worldwide are captured and kept in small pools, performing for people, especially children. These dolphins are fed fish instead of having to _________ them. As a result, they start spending most of their time near the pool rather than underwater. They get out of shape and can no longer _________ long distances. It affects their _________ greatly, and has proved to have _________ consequences.

_________ Tom and Misha lived in captivity for 4-5 years, they were able to adapt to the wild. It was _________ what Foster had hoped for. His dreams for the dolphins had finally come true and he knew that the dolphins would __________ in the wild.

If people want to avoid these accidents, we must go to great lengths and put in the __________ to ensure it doesn't happen ever again. In fact, with virtual reality technology picking up, there can still be great ways to __________ kids with sea animals without having to capture dolphins.
