22、Dawn Loggins, a homeless girl from Burns High School, is going to Harvard University in the fall.
Dawn grew up in a poor situation. Her house had no electricity or running water. So she had to do her homework in the dark. She lived with her parents who took drugs.
One summer, Dawn left home for a one-month program in North Carolina for outstanding high school students. When she came back, she found her house empty, with a government notice on the front door. Her parents had left already and Dawn became homeless.

23、 During my travels through the mountains of Greece I was only ever scared once, it was dusk and as I walked. I came across six large wolves that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.
As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow that surrounded the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 meters from me and stared. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling me. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I couldn't show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised his head once more but this time let out a long, loud cry. The awful cry rang out across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost certain it was a sign to be death.
Every moment I expected to see the pack of wolves’ dash at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my direction or make me run they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.
If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am certain the whole pack would have attacked me in a moment. But my show of false courage intimidated them and kept them back.
【1】Why didn't the wolves attack the man?
A.They were no longer hungry when they saw him.
B.The man was already known to the wolves.
C.They were too far away to catch the man.

A.encouraged B.scared C.doubted D.hurt
【3】What is the author's purpose in writing this story?
A.To show that mountains can be dangerous places.
B.To discuss the habits of mountain wolves.
C.To stress the need for courage when in danger.
D.To make people aware of the danger of wolves.
【4】Which of these is right according to the passage?
A.The wolves were friendly to the writer.
B.The writer knew wolves were dangerous in childhood.
C.The lead wolf asked the other wolves to stand in line.
D.The writer wasn't afraid of the wolves at all.
【5】The best title of the passage could be .

C.My Mountain Travels D.A Man without Fear
24、 All the planets in the solar system go around the sun. There are eight planets in the solar system. Years ago, there were nine planets. Ever since Pluto (冥王星) was demoted (使降级), we’ve had just eight planets.
Some scientists have studied the farthest reaches(研究)of our solar system. They believe there might be another planet out there. They call it Planet Nine. What would Planet Nine be like? Scientists believe it could be about three times larger and ten times heavier than the earth.
If Planet Nine is out there, why haven’t we found it yet? Scientists are still reaching for it because it’s so far away. They believe it could take Planet Nine as long as 20,000 years to go around the Sun. Scientists also think Planet Nine could be as much as 10,000 times darker than Pluto.
It is very difficult to search for such a dark planet in the whole solar system. Could our solar system have a ninth planet? We hope to know the answer in the near future.
【1】From the first paragraph, we can know Pluto .
A.goes around the Earth
B.was a planet years ago
C.was not demoted
【2】Scientists think Planet Nine may be .
A.three times larger than the sun

C.ten times heavier than the earth
【3】We haven’t found Planet Nine yet because .

B.it doesn’t go around the sun
C.it’s large and heavy
【4】From the passage, we know that .
A.scientists are still reaching for Planet Nine
B.it is easy to search for such a dark planet

25、 When I had something difficult, I used to ask my mother for help. But she always said, "Do it yourself, dear." I was not glad at all. I thought she was the 【1】( lazy ) mother in the world! For example, one day, I decided to invite some friends to my home. My bedroom was not in order. Books were everywhere. And I didn't make the bed. I asked my mother 【2】( help ) me clean it, but she still said, "Do it yourself, girl. I 【3】( write ) a letter to your grandparents. I 【4】( go ) to see them next weekend." Because of my "lazy mother", I have to wash my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents do housework. I even have to go to the dentist by myself. It is really hard for me to do everything 【5】( good ), but I have learned a lot. As time 【6】( go ) by, I understand my mother. She makes me clever and diligent(勤奋的). What a great mother!
A lazy mother is worth one hundred teachers! Don't you think so?
