21、On November 18th, 1908, three men went up in a balloon. They started early in London. The headman was Auguste Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon, and they were ready for a long way.

Soon they heard the sea below them. They were carrying the usual rope, and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight. They were also carrying some bags of sand.

After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 meters, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men’s basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. There was also some snow on the balloon, and that made it very heavy. It began to go down towards the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand, but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake below and made a black hole in the ice.

At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing, so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 meters! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had traveled 1,797 kilometers from London!

22、We know that disabled people are seldom shown in advertisement on television. If they really are, it is usually to make people feel sad for them. It is important to find out what would be the most helpful to the other person, instead of supposing that you know. This may take time. Some people become impatient. Others may be too selfish to make the effort. Remember that disabled people may do things in a different way from you. All it needs is a little thought. Whether disabled or not, we can all learn from each other. Disabled people necessarily make themselves brave. They probably feel that they have to adapt to（适应）their situation（处境）. They have learnt not to give up, but to keep on trying. Life isn’t always fair. Sometimes we have to deal with difficult situations. Having to face a challenge can often help us to have a better understanding of ourselves and of other people.

It is not helped to treat disabled people as if they all have the same feelings and needs. And it’s important for us to know what kind of help the disabled person would welcome.

Some people often think disabled people are poor and have mercy（怜悯）on them. In face this can be offensive because it may be unkind and hurt.

【1】If people see a disabled person in an advertisement, they may feel______.

A. happy   B. exciting   C. angry   D. sorry

【2】People often do the following wrong things to disabled people EXCEPT that______.

A. they suppose they know what would be the most helpful to disabled people.

B. they are patient with disabled people.

C. they may be too selfish to make the effort.

D. they think disabled people do things in the same way as them.

【3】What do disabled people have to learn?

A. To become hopeless.   B. To give up.

C. To keep on trying.   D. Not to adapt to their situation.

【4】What should you do if you want to help disabled people?

A. Help them do as many things as you can.

B. Treat them as if they all have the same feelings and needs.

C. Find out what kind of help they would welcome.

D. Never lend them a hand.

【5】What does the underlined word “offensive” mean?

A. Unpleasant.   B. Helpful.

C. Friendly.   D. Surprised

23、What is soil? It is the skin of the Earth. It supports all forms of our life. Nearly all our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, some eat vegetables, but most animals live on plants. If there are no plants, we will have no vegetables, no animals and no meat.

Plants grow in soil with a dark colour. The dark soil is humus (腐殖土壤). Dead leaves, dead plants and animals’ waste make it, but it takes a long time. When the humus has been made, plants can grow well in it.

All soil needs food. Animals’ waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers (化肥) are also very useful. The same crops should not be grown in the same place every year. A change of crops and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land in good condition.

When the soil is dry, the wind blows it away. Sometimes heavy rain carries the humus down to a river. People should grow more and more trees and grass to stop wind from carrying the humus away. It takes hundreds of years to make humus, so we must save every bit of it. Without soil, how can we live?

【1】From the first paragraph, we can know ________.

A．all animals eat plants

B．most animals eat meat

C．all our food comes from plants

D．people, animals and plants all live on soil

【2】Which is the best food for soil?

A．Animals’ waste.

B．Dead plants.

C．Dead leaves.

D．Chemical fertilizers.

【3】To keep the land in good condition, we should ________.

a. grow the same crops in the same place

b. grow different crops in the same place

c. use a good fertilizer

d. never use a fertilizer

A．a & c

B．b & c

C．a & d

D．b & d

【4】Which of the following is NOT true?

A．Soil is the skin of the Earth.

B．Humus helps plants grow well.

C．It takes a hundred years to make humus.

D．Growing trees and plants can help keep the soil.

【5】Which of the following is the best title?

A．Plants and animals

B．Soil and waste

C．Soil and food

Secondly, these fuels will not last forever. One day, we will r【3】 out of these fuels. Scientists are looking for new k【4】 of energy. One is heat from the Earth. We know that the centre of the Earth is very hot. We cannot r【5】 the centre of the Earth, but in some places the heat from the Earth’s centre comes to the surface of the Earth. Perhaps you k【6】 about some of these places. One place is volcanoes (火山). It is very d【7】 to go near an active volcano, so we cannot use the energy from this. A【8】 kind of heat from the Earth is hot springs (温泉). In these places, hot water comes to the surface of the Earth. If this water is near a town, the hot water can be sent in pipes directly to people’s houses to heat them. In Iceland, this is a common w【9】 to heat houses. In Australia, scientists are looking for ways to make energy using hot rocks under the surface of the Earth. They want to pump water onto the hot rocks.
