21、   One day, I went to the teachers' office to see my teacher after school, but nobody was there.When I decided to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor.I picked it up and saw the words “FINAL-TERM EXAMINATION”at the top.I put the paper into my school bag quickly and ran out of the room.

After I came back home, I took out the paper.It was the exam paper of my worst subject, English.I felt excited.My heart beat fast.I took out my English book and started working on the answer.I had never answered any questions so carefully.

On the day of the English exam, I went into the exam hall confidently.When the paper was sent to me, I dreamt of getting the highest mark(分数 )in the whole grade and could not help smiling."My English teacher always encouraged me to work hard and get better grades, but I let him down time and time again.This time I will give him a big surprise,” I thought.

When the teacher said we could start, I turned the paper over.To my surprise, all the questions were different.Later I felt nervous.In the end, I almost left the paper undone After the exam, I ran to the toilet, took out the paper and carefully read it from the top.Oh! It was last year’s exam paper.I read all the questions but I hadn't read the date.

This is really a lesson and I start to know I have to put my feet on the ground. I regretted doing such a silly thing.After that, I told my teacher the truth and I promised to be honest.From then on.I worked harder than ever before.

22、   In some parts of the world there are large deserts. There are no trees and no water there. Travelers must take food and water with them. The only animal who can walk through the desert is the camel. It can go without food or water for a long time, and it can carry heavy things. People call the camel “the ship of the desert”. The camel is very big. It has one or two humps（驼峰）on its back, short ears and a long neck. The camel’s humps hold fat, and its stomach holds water in twelve deep pockets. Each pocket has a mouth which closes, and the food does not mix with the water. When the camel wants some water, it can get it out of the pockets. The camel’s food is grass and leaves of trees.

根据短文内容，判断正（T）误（F）.

【1】Camels can walk through the desert because they don’t drink or eat.

【2】People call the camel “the ship of the desert”, because all camels swim in the desert.

【3】All camels have less than three humps.

【4】Every camel, even the young, has got twenty pockets in its stomach.

【5】Camels eat only grass.

23、   How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world? The sun was probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun for a clock. Even today, if you don’t have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, it’s day, and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning, noon, or afternoon.

People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours.

Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.

In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.

A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.

【1】According to（根据）the passage, there are _______ ways to tell time besides the clock and watch.

A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 7

【2】The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because __________.

A. they know very little about the sun

B. the sun there never goes down in winter

C. it’s too cold for them to go out to watch the sun

D. it has long dark winters and long light summers

【3】The underlined（下划线）word “tides” in the passage means __________.

A. 洋流 B. 潮汐 C. 海啸 D. 波浪

【4】What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Different Ways to Tell Time B. Useful Machines to Tell Time

C. The History of the Clock D. The Development of the Clock
