24、Once a king got two nice falcons (猎鹰) from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer (训鹰人) to train them to fly.
After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch (树枝) of a tree quietly, just keeping still.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. “It is unbelievable!” shouted the king.“ How could you make it happen?”
The farmer replied, “It’s very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”
It is always the same to human beings. We all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort. We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.
【1】What did the king do after he got the two falcons?
A.
B.He kept them on the branch of a tree.
C.He sent them to a farmer in the forest.
D.He made the best falconer train them to fly.
E.He set them free and let them fly in the sky.
【2】Why did the king call all his falconers together?
A.Because he wanted to get more falcons.
B.Because he wanted the other falcon to fly.
C.Because he wanted them to see his falcons.
D.Because he wanted to know more about his falcons.
【3】Which question could best help us find out the writer’s purpose?
A.Did the writer want us to keep falcons?
B.Did the writer want us to train falcons?
C.Did the writer want us to stay in a comfort area?
D.Did the writer want us to move out of the comfort area?
25、If you are really interested in music festivals, then you have probably heard of the Bestival Music Festival. It takes place every September on the Isle of Wight, the UK. As it is at the end of summer, people think it’s their last chance to go to a festival and have fun before going back to boring work.
The dream begins as soon as you start traveling to the island. In order to get to the campsite (营地) of the Bestival, you have to take the ferry (渡轮). The ferry is full of happy festival lovers who are ready to take part in the fantastic music party. After you arrive at the campsite, you can put your tent up. There people talk with each other openly. They are not that cold like those you meet in your everyday life.
The festival lasts for four days. During that time you forget all your worries and problems, just like living in a dream. And it is really hard for you to come back to “reality” after that.
It seems that it is this kind of music event that makes people gather together. It gives people a real sense of unity. I took part in the Bestival with my friends the year before last. It was so exciting and we all lost ourselves in the beautiful music. We are family sung by Sister Sledge was my favorite. I’m really looking forward to joining in it for a second time.
【1】 Where do people enjoy the music party at the Bestival?
A. On the island. B. On the ferry.
C. In the hotel. D. On the sea.
【2】 What does the writer think of the people at the Bestival?
A. Crazy. B. Friendly. C. Cold. D. Patient.
【3】 Why does the writer say being at the Bestival is a dream?
A. Because people can enjoy music there.
B. Because people can get away from work.
C. Because people can play music there.
D. Because people can forget all their problems and worries.
【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The Bestival lasts for four days.
B. We are family is a song.
C. The Bestival is held every September in the US.
D. The Bestival can give people a sense of unity.
26、You may not have heard the words “freshman fifteen” before, but they are important for students who are entering university. A freshman is a first year college student. “Fifteen” means fifteen pounds—the fifteen pounds added to a student's weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why first year university students gain(增加) weight; but it's encouraging to know that freshman don't have to add these harmful fifteen pounds.
Mistakes in choosing food
University kitchens serve many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food, because now their parents are not nearby(在身边) to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as hamburgers. Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork.
Eating right
If you're careful, you don't have to add fifteen pounds. Here are some ideas.
Think more about what you eat.
Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meat.
Don't eat desserts(甜点) full of sugar; have fruit after dinner.
Try not to eat so much junk food while you study.
It's all right to have a little fast food sometimes—but not often.
Write down the food you eat.
Walk, run, do sports—move and you will feel better!
Remember that the “freshman fifteen” can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together, try to eat healthy food and not eat junk food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.

27、The earth’s valuable rain forests are in danger. They are getting smaller and the situation is becoming worse. This problem influences the whole world.
Rain forests are the natural habitat for many rare and beautiful animals, birds and insects. There’re various plants as well. For example, the Amazon rain forest in Brazil has a richer plant life than anywhere else on the earth. Some of the plants there are important for medical science. Aspirin, a drug which reduces fever and kills pain, is made from tree bark. Cough medicine can be produced from tree resin. Perhaps they may help us cure disease such as cancer and AIDS one day.
It is a great pity that the rain forests are disappearing. There are two reasons. In many countries the trees have been cut down because the land is needed for animals and crops. In other parts of the world the trees are cut down because their wood is wanted. This wood is used by local people for firewood, or is sold to Japan, Europe and North America. It is used for buildings or made into furniture there.
The soil in the forests is indeed very thin. Without trees and plants, it is easily washed away by the rain or blown away by the wind. Soon nothing can be grown on it and the rain forests then become useless. In addition, the forests cannot produce O2 or absorb CO2. This leads to the greenhouse effect(温室效应), which makes the earth hotter and hotter.
When the forest is destroyed, it is not only the trees that are lost, the homes of millions of animals are destroyed too. Also kinds of animals are in danger—fish, reptile, birds, mammals, insects and shellfish—as well as thousands of plants. If we do not act immediately to save our rain forests, some of them will be gone.
【1】 The rain forests are in danger because ______.
A. a lot of medicine and furniture factories are built there
B. the greenhouse effect increases the earth’s temperature
C. the trees and the land are often destroyed for some reasons
D. large numbers of animals and plants there are disappearing
【2】Which is the best sentence for the blank in Paragraph 3?
A. Why is it a pity?
B. How do they take place?
C. Why is this happening?
D. How are they disappearing?
【3】The underlined word “this” refers to the fact that ______.
A. the earth in rain forests is actually poor
B. nothing can be grown in the rain forests
C. the earth is washed away or blown away
D. the forests fail to make O2 or take in CO2
【4】The best title for this passage is ______.
A. Save the rain forest
B. Rain forests on the earth
C. Make full use of rain forests
D. Situations in the rain forest
