21、One afternoon, a man asked his wife what she’d like for her birthday. “I’d really love to be ten again,” she replied hopefully.
On the morning of her birthday, the husband got up early, made her a nice breakfast and then took her to the amusement park. He put her on every ride in the park—the Slide, the Roller Coaster (过山车) and the Wall of Fear. They tried everything in the park.
When they went out of the park four hours later, she felt tired and hungry. Right away, they hurried to a McDonald’s for lunch. Her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with a chicken hamburger and a large cup of milk shake.
Then they were off to the cinema to see the latest movie, complete with a hot dog, popcorn, a big drink and a huge bag of M&M’s, her favorite sweets.
After that, the husband drove his heavy wife to the biggest store in the city. There he bought her several dolls that little girls like best.
It was a really busy day. The husband was so proud of what he did for his loving wife.
Finally she went home with her husband and threw herself into the sofa. He asked his loving wife with a big smile, “Well dear, what was it like being ten years old again?”
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. “You FOOL,” she replied a little angrily, “I meant my dress size.”
【1】The wife ate many things that day except ________.
A.ice-cream
B.popcorn
C.a hot dog
D.a hamburger

22、Sometimes, using hand gestures can bring more information and be more convenient than words, especially when you are speaking to someone with no language in common. But the same gesture can mean something quite nasty and offensive (冒犯的) to a person from a different cultural background.
“V” Shape
In many countries, if you have your index and middle fingers pointed up in the “V” shape. It stands for winning. However, when you make the sign, be sure to have the front of your palm facing outward instead of inward, because showing people the back of your hand is impolite in some countries like the UK and Australia.
Finger Snap (打响指)
Snapping your thumb and middle finger over and over may mean one is trying to remind someone of something forgotten. While, in Latin America, snapping them means asking one to hurry up. But one thing you should remember is that, in many cultures, snapping fingers close to someone’s face is considered to be an offensive gesture.
Fingers Crossed
Crossing the index and middle fingers is regarded as a sign of wishing for good luck or fortune. At other times, people cross their fingers before telling a lie, as it is believed to countervail (抵消) the bad things coming from the lie. So it is both a positive and negative symbol.
ILY sign
This is always a nice hand gesture from American Sign Language. It combines the letters “I”, “L” and “Y” to mean “I love you.” People use this gesture very often to show their love for their family, friends and all the other people they love.
Counting with Fingers.
And finally, for the most useful signs — how to count the numbers from one to ten. Notice how English-speaking countries use both hands instead of one. So the next time you go to a market in the US, remember to use these signs to bargain.
【1】On Mother’s Day, ________ can best show love to your mom instead of words.
A.
B.
C.
D.
【2】If you know how to count with fingers, you can ________.

D.ask someone to hurry up.

A.thumb and middle finger
B.thumb and index finger
C.thumb and palm
D.thumb and pinky
【4】The writer mentioned so many different hand gestures to ________.
A.tell the differences between American and Chinese cultures
B.warn people to be careful when using a hand gesture
C.ask people not to worry about making wrong gestures
D.encourage people to use hand gestures more
【5】From the passage we can know that ________.
A.“V” shape sign means reminding someone of something forgotten
B.fingers crossed is always considered as a positive sign
C.ILY sign is often used to wish for good luck and fortune
D.snapping fingers close to someone’s face may be impolite
23、I’m usually sad to say goodbye to my cousins after visiting them in Australia. But last June I wasn’t. We had to change planes in the Middle East on the way back and had to stay overnight. I just couldn’t wait to get to our hotel. How exciting it was!
The first thing I noticed in the hotel was all the glass. It was really bright, so I don’t know why all the lights were on in the building! There was also loud rock music playing inside, which I loved, but my parents didn’t! There weren’t many people waiting at the reception, so we were soon in our rooms.
The garden wasn’t what I expected. “Dad”, I said, “you told me there was a pool!” He took me back into the reception area and then up in the lift to the 39th floor and out onto the top of the building. “Here it is”, he said. It was amazing! Swimming under the clouds was awesome.
I’ve stayed in some great hotels around the world, but no one was as cool as that one. I saw photographs of it before I went, but they don’t really show how large the building is. I couldn’t believe it. Everything is huge — the building, the pool, the meals which were delicious, too, by the way! There’s so much to do and see there. I hope we can go back again and stay for longer.

B.It was on the top of the building.
C.It was close to the hotel’s reception area.
D.It was up in the lift.
【4】What do we learn about the writer in the last paragraph?
A.She hasn’t visited any hotels in her life.
B.She didn’t have time to see everything in the hotel.

24、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词,首字母已给。)
The fast development of technology has made many changes in our daily life. Some people believe that schools will not be necessary in the near f【1】. They say that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no need for school buildings, classes or teachers. P【2】 this will be true one day, but if the world had no schools, I couldn’t imagine how our society would be.
In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school that is linked (连接) to libraries, museums, science centres, labs and even companies. Companies should c【3】 learning programmes for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local TV stations could develop programmes about the students who are studying at school. Labs could set up websites to s【4】 new technology so that students could see it on the Internet.
Is this a daydream? No. This is beginning to happen in many cities. In those cities, learning can take place at home, at school and in the o【5】. Businesses provide programmes for schools and society. Schools provide computer labs for people with their own computers at home. Everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones and everyone can go on the Internet, and older people use it as much as y【6】 ones. How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is fantastic to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as w【7】; and we will all learn something from the Internet.
