21、   An old man was fishing in the bank of a river. A girl came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the girl was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the girl shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked "Why don't you want the fish?"

The girl replied, "I want the fishing rod（竿）in your hands.”

The old man asked, "Why do you want the rod?"

"It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat."

I think you will certainly say that the girl is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she can not have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.

Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the girl, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.

【1】The old man was fishing on the bank of a   .

A. river B. lake C. pool D. sea

【2】Why did the girl refuse the fish the old man gave her?

A. Because she didn't like fish. B. Because she wanted the old man's fishing rod.

C. Because the old man had few fish. D. Because she didn't like the old man.

【3】The writer thought the girl was   after she explained why she didn't want the fish.

A. smart B. hard-working C. silly D. lazy

【4】What is the best title for the article?

A. The Fish. B. The Fishing Man. C. The Fishing Girl. D. Learn to Fish.

22、   Height is just one of the features (特征) your genes decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes give you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too. That means your height is genetic. But if you have questions about how tall you're going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find them out.

But genes don't decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential (潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.

It's natural that you're wondering how fast you should grow. There's no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 5 cm a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (the time of life when you change from a child to an adult).

Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. 2 cm here and 3 cm there make a little difference to the height you're at now. How have you been growing up to this height? What other changes may your body be going through?

Don't be surprised if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later — between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.

You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.

【1】What does the underlined word 'genetic' in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A.Passed down from parents. B.Learned from friends.

C.Taught by teachers. D.Exercised by yourself.

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Children grows about 3 cm a year during puberty.

B.Doctors believe your diet and sleep decide your height.

C.Your height most probably depends on how tall your parents are.

D.Boys' age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for girls'.

【3】This passage is mainly about ______.

A.why you look like your parents B.how you grow to a certain height

C.how the genes work in your body D.why you grow fast during puberty

23、Have you heard of dodos (渡渡鸟)? The dodo was a kind of bird that was very large. You might not think it was a bird at all because the dodo could not fly. It was a member of the chicken family. It lived happily and safely until people arrived. European sailors (水手) found those birds in the 16th century on Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean.

When the sailors found the strange birds that could not fly, they were surprised. The Europeans on Mauritius Island and the pigs they brought with them found the birds very delicious. So large numbers of dodos were killed and no living dodos were found on the island in the following years. Later, the samples (标本) of some dodos were brought to England in the 17th century for the further study.

In fact, the extinction (灭绝) of dodos was caused by people. This was how the phrase “as dead as a dodo” came. It teaches us a big lesson. If we are not able to get along with nature, we will lose the things more than we would expect. And we should stop the activities that will be bad for the environment or other animals.

【1】When did European sailors find dodos?

A．In the 15th century.

B．In the 16th century.

C．In the 17th century.

D．In the 18th century.

【2】How did the European sailors feel when they saw those strange birds?

A．Happy.

B．Excited.

C．Surprised.

D．Terrible.

【3】Which of the following about dodos is TRUE according to the passage?

A．They were born on Mauritius Island and could fly well.

B．They lived a hard life until people arrived in the Island.

C．Their population became small only because pigs ate them.

D．You could find the samples of them in the 17th century in England.

【4】What’s the correct order about dodos?

a. People caused the extinction of the dodos.

b. European sailors discovered dodos on Mauritius Island.

c. The Europeans and the pigs found dodos very delicious.

d. Large numbers of dodos were killed on the Island.

A．b-a-c-d

B．d-c-b-a

【5】The writer wrote the passage mainly to tell us that ______ .

A．dodos could not fly

B．the dodo was a chicken

C．no living dodos were found

D．we should protect animals

24、   Mary Jo Ray turned 113 in May, 2008. She was the twelfth oldest person in the world. Ray was one of the few people who lived to more than 110 years old. We often call them centenarians. “She often drinks milk. She hardly gets angry with others and is always happy. So she is in good health. I think her reason for long life is drinking milk every day and trying to be happy,” said her granddaughter(孙女).

Her doctor, Dr. Perls, said another reason for Ray’s long life is her genes (基因). She got them from her parents. He said, “These genes can keep you in good health and let you live longer. People can usually live to about 80 years old. Those with the right genes can live to more than 100 years. They also pass those genes to their children. So if a person’s parents live long, he or she will probably live long, too.” Dr. Perls also said, “You may not have those genes. But if you don’t smoke, don’t drink too much, and do exercise or do other things to make yourself relaxed and happy, you still can live long."

【1】Mary Jo Ray was the________oldest person in the world in 2008.

25、   Kumblh Mela is an important festival in India. It means a festival of the pot(锅，罐) 【1】English. There is a story about how Indian people started celebrating the festival.

A long time ago, there was 【2】fight between the gods of India and some devils(魔鬼). They fought for a pot, 【3】there were some magic pills in it. If you ate the pills, you would live forever.
