21、Waste can be everywhere in the school.Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom.

They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them. Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源) , we are short of (缺乏) others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years.

So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move?

Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头)when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.

【1】According to the passage, what do some students often do in the school?

A. Eat too much B. Don't work hard C. Waste things D. Throw rubbish everywhere

【2】What may happen in 100 years according to the passage?

A. We will be short of fresh water B. We will be short of coal or oil

C. We will still have enough space to live in D. We will prevent waste from happening

【3】What does them in the second paragraph refer to?

A. Waste things B. Problems C. Students D. Resources

22、   Once there lived a wise man. His son, however, was very lazy and did nothing all day.

The wise man was worried about his son’s future. One day, he said to his son, “I want you to look for some treasure (财宝). I have drawn a map to help you.” Then he handed his son a bag. Inside the bag were clothes, some food, a little money and the map.

The son left the next day. He had to travel across forests, rivers and mountains. Along the way, he got help from some people with food and also with shelter (住所). He met some robbers (强盗) who tried to rob him. He also saw changing scenery (风景) and seasons.

Finally, after a long year, he got to the place his father said. It took him two days to look and dig for the treasure, but found nothing.

He could only go back to his home. On his way back, he saw the same scenery. Sometimes, he would stop to enjoy the beauty of nature. He also learned to look for food and make meals. He had to fix his own clothes. He was now able to tell time by looking at where the sun was. He met the same people who had helped him earlier. This time, he stayed and helped them in order to say thank you.

When he got home, he said sorry to his father for not finding the treasure.

“There wasn’t any treasure, my son,” the father answered with a smile. “But I think you have found your life’s true purpose.”

【1】What did the wise man ask his son to do?

23、"Earworms", some people call them. Songs that get stuck in your head go round and round, sometimes for days, sometimes for months. For no clear reason you cannot help yourself from humming or singing a tune by Lady Gaga.

To a psychologist, the most interesting thing about earworms is that they show a part of our mind that is clearly outside of our control. Earworms arrive without permission and refuse to leave when we tell them to. They are parasites (寄生虫) living in a part of our minds.

If you have got an earworm you can suffer an attack of it simply by someone mentioning the tune, without having to hear it. This proves that earworms are a part of long-term memory. Humans have an "inner ear", for remembering phone numbers, for instance. When it gets infected with earworms, rather than review our plans for the day, or lists of things to remember, the inner ear gets stuck on a few short bars of music or a couple of phrases from a song. A part of us that we normally do not have to think about, that should just do what we ask, has been turned against us, upsetting us with a request that we never asked for. The mind is an inner world which we do not have complete knowledge of, or have control over.

Fortunately psychology can provide some advice on how to deal with an uncontrollable mind. Consider the famous "don’t think of a white bear" problem, which tells you to try not to think about white bears, or to do something else, to avoid both thinking of the white bear and not thinking of the white bear. For earworms, the solution may be the same. Our inner ear has become infected with an earworm. This is a part not under our control, so just sending in instructions to "shut up" is unlikely to be of much help (and has been shown to make it worse). Much better is to employ the inner ear in another task. If your mind is poisoned by Brittany Spears’ Toxic, for instance, then try singing Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You out Of My Head. Let me know if it works!

【1】According to the passage, earworms are ______.

A.songs that keep going round in our mind

B.worms that live in a part of our brain

C.tunes by pop singers like Lady Gaga

D.parasites clearly under our control

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Singing songs may get earworms out of your head.

B.Earworms are used for keeping long-term memory.

C.Humans do not have complete control over their mind.

D.You won’t suffer from earworms unless you hear the song.

【3】What does “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The instruction to shut up your mind.

B.“Don’t think of the white bear” problem.

C.Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You out Of My Head.

D.Using the earworm-infected inner ear in another task.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The causes and influences of earworms.

B.What earworms are and how to deal with them.

C.How to clear earworms out of your head.

D.The relation between earworms and popular songs.

24、Here is some information about the Yangtze River Dolphin. It makes its home in the Yangtze River. Over 20 million years ago, the Yangtze River Dolphin left the sea, swam up the Yangtze River and has lived there ever since. It has smaller eyes than other kinds of dolphins and the small size helps to protect its eyes. However, because it has such small eyes, it cannot use its eyes to look for food. Instead, this kind of dolphin uses sound waves (声波) to look for food. This makes it so unusual.

In the past, there were thousands of dolphins in the Yangtze River, but today, not many people can see the dolphins. The number has decreased greatly. Scientists say that the number of the dolphins has gone down because the population (人口) along the Yangtze River has gone up. They also say that the new dam (大坝) across the river is also making the dolphins die because they don’t have food to eat. Scientists have tried different ways to save this “panda in the water”, but nothing has helped. What would you do to save this kind of dolphin if you had a chance?

【1】The Yangtze River Dolphin lives ________.

A．in the Yellow River

B．in the Nile River

C．in the Yangtze River

D．in the Huaihe River
