22、One day last summer, watching the boys and girls trying to catch butterflies, I remembered something happened when I was young. When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that stopped me forever from wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.

We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening the mockingbirds(模仿鸟) would come and rest in the trees and sings. 【1】   I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.

【2】  At first, the bird flew about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.

I had left the cage out, and on the second day my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it.  【3】 

Certainly the mother knew better than I about how to feed her baby.

The following morning when I went to see how my bird was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! 【4】

Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist(鸟学家), happened to be visiting my father at the time. Hearing me crying over the death of my bird, he explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poisonous(有毒的)berries(干果).   【5】   ”

Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.

A. I had taken good care of my little bird.

B. I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage.

C. I was pleased to see this.

D. No musician can sing more beautiful than the birds.

E. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in cage.

25、   Chicago is a great town. I love it. We have two baseball teams here, the Cubs and the White Sox. I like the Cubs. The White Sox are boring and they’re losers（失败者）, too. I never go to their games. But there’s a lot more to Chicago than baseball. Look around, we’re in the city now. This is Michigan Avenue. There’s the John Hancock Centre.

That building is 100 floors high! That’s too high, if you ask me. If there is a fire on the 85th or 90th floor, how are the firemen going to put it out? There’s no chance……Look over there.

There’s a large building. It’s the Sears Tower. That building is 110 floors high! Do you see those buildings there? They are the Marina City Apartments. They have 60 floors each. Thousands of people in each one . Imagine that, all those people in two buildings. It’s terrible to have so many neighbours. There’s the Merchandise Mart. That’s another big building. Do you know what’s in the building? There are stores, restaurants, a bank, a post office, a radio station and a TV station. It’s too crowded, well, here we are. Remember, ask any taxi driver about Chicago. We know everything about this town.

26、   I always think my daughter Kendall is the best—that's just what parents do. When she was only three, she sang for the people, like a little angel.

When Kendall was five, we noticed that she sometimes had a tic (面部抽搐). When the problem got worse, we took her from doctor to doctor. During the treatment, Kendall continued to sing. Surprisingly, her tics disappeared when she sang.

When Kendall was sixteen, we thought she would be cured soon. However, a terrible thing happened.

At a party, Kendall jumped on a friend for a piggyback ride. He bent lower than she expected, and she jumped higher than he expected. Kendall flew over his back and landed on the floor—on her neck. She was rushed to hospital, paralyzed(瘫痪) from the neck down. She couldn't move. But her biggest worry wasn't whether she would walk again, but was whether she could try out for a show called American Idol.

As the days went on, feeling on her left side returned, but she was still paralyzed on the right. We weren't sure how much of her movement would come back. A friend brought a microphone and put it on her bed. Every day, Kendall tried hard to pick it up. It was more important for her to pick up that microphone than a spoon or fork.

Sometimes she had to bite a toothbrush to take her mind off the pain. We all cried because of the pain we witnessed. But on the day—only three months after her accident—we cried full of joy when she sang, though she didn't enter the Top 24 of American Idol.

When she was a little girl, she asked me why it was she that had tics. My heart hurt, but I told her, "Kendall, you have a pure heart, a fantastic voice, a strong mind. And you are a beautiful presence.”

【1】When did they notice that Kendall sometimes had a tic?

A.When she was five. B.When she was sixteen.

C.When she sang. D.When she saw the doctor.

【2】What was a surprise during the treatment in Paragraph 2?

A.She had a tic. B.Her tics disappeared when she sang.

C.She was cured soon. D.She sang for the people.

【3】Why was it more important for Kendall to pick up that microphone than a spoon or fork?

A.Because Kendall loved singing.

B.Because Kendall didn't like a spoon or fork.

C.Because Kendall's friend brought the microphone for her.

D.Because that microphone was more beautiful for her than a spoon or fork.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A.An American Idol.

B.A paralyzed girl.

C.The girl who had a tic.

D.A beautiful girl.

27、   It happens to all of us. It is the end of the term and your teacher gives you your report card. You look at it and your heart stops because you realize that your parents are going to be very angry. This is the classic case of a bad report card! There is nothing you can do to change the past. So, what can you do now?

Grades are how most schools evaluate（评价）students and they are pretty important. The problem is that we do not always get good grades we (or our parents) want. After a bad report card, it is important to figure out what to do next.

The first thing to do is to talk to your teacher. Find out how your grades are calculated（计算）. Is the problem a bad test, lack of participation（参与）in class, or a failure to complete homework? Next, if the problem is something you can solve on your own (such as not doing your homework), make a promise to change your behavior! Thirdly, if you have been studying hard and still get a bad grade, you probably need some extra help with your classes. Talk to your teacher and explain your situation. He or she will tell you where you can receive the extra help you need. Lastly, make a detailed plan of how you will improve your grades. Write down the plan and have it ready when you talk to your parents. That’s a good way to make your parents less angry.

While all parents want their children to get good grades, most understand that every report card is not perfect. The important thing is that you show your parents you have a plan to improve your grades for next time. Always remember, many of the world’s most successful people failed many times before they became successful. They learned from their failures, and you should, too!

【1】The problem with the grades is that ________.

A.most schools evaluate students by using grades B.it’s important to get good grades

C.we don’t always get good grades we want D.grades are sometimes incorrect

【2】The passage is written in a/an ________ tone(语气).

A.crazy B.serious C.sad D.angry

【3】The text above is written to ________.

A.encourage students to get good grades B.make parents less angry

C.share ways to deal with bad report cards D.find excuses for bad grades

【4】The passage is probably from________.

A.a software instruction B.a story book C.a teenager magazine D.a travel diary

28、   China’s Yangtze River is the world’s third-longest river. It is home to nearly 400 species of fish. However, the Chinese paddlefish( 白 鲟 ), once c【1】in the area, is no longer a member of this ecosystem. Scientists from China said recently that the species had completely d【2】. The  fish l【3】went extinct( 灭 绝 ) sometime between 2005 and 2010. “It’s very sad,” said Zeb  Hogan, a U.S. biologist. “We’ve lost a unique animal. There is no h【4】of recovery.”

The  Chinese  paddlefish  was  one  of  the  world’s  l【5】freshwater  fish  species.  It  could grow to seven meters.

29、One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my company wants to promote(升职) me; _____ , it needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling that you’ve done well and allowing you to skip a grade(跳级), but you’ll have to_____ your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?” She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me_______ for the rest of the night. I had said “yes” but for the first time, I realized the difficult decisions adults had to make.

For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day.

Every evening I’d anxiously wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call, however, could never replace her_______ and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.

During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her.

Looking at her large_______ apartment, I realized how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil herself. It was then that I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on balancing family and work._____ difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldn’t know whether you make the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with passion and a positive attitude.

Back home, I reminded myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she______ to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be______ . I learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable goals.
