21、   Joe is a 75-year-old man and he lives in a village. His children grew up and moved to different cities. Now, Joe has four grandchildren,and they visit him during their holidays.

During one vacation, Joe was preparing his home for the kids—cleaning and buying their favorite foods. After he finished working, he realized he lost his favorite watch. The watch was a gift from his wife when their first child was born. Joe treasured the watch very much, especially after his wife's death. He was very upset about losing it.

When his grandchildren came, they promised him they would find the watch.

One granddaughter asked, "Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last?"

"I guess when I was cleaning the barn (谷仓)!" Joe replied.

The children looked for it more than two hours with Joe, but they could not find it.

One grandson went back to the barn again. Joe asked why he was going there a second time. But the little boy just asked the others not to follow him and to keep quiet.

He was there for about 15 minutes and then ran to his grandfather. He found the watch.

22、   Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals(哺乳动物). They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain is as big as men’s and they live a long life---at least 20 or 30 years.

Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each other and help them find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw —the lower part of the mouth.

It is strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met all the ships and boats in the area and showed them the way. In 1903 a passenger on a boat with the name of The Penguin shot(拍照) a long time in the area. Jack guided the boat The Penguin until the passenger finished.

Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. Dolphins are humans’ friends. Let’s all be nice to them.

【1】How do dolphins find their way?

A.They use their noses to smell the way. B.They use their ears to hear the the way.

C.They use their eyes to see the way. D.They use sounds to find the way.

【2】The underlined word “jaw” means _______ in Chinese.

A.下颚 B.嘴巴 C.嘴唇 D.鼻子

【3】Who was Jack?

A.The writer. B.A dolphin. C.A seaman. D.The passenger.

【4】The dolphin guided the ships for about _______.

A.32 years B.9 years C.41 years D.23 years

【5】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A.Dolphins are not fish. B.Dolphins are kind and friendly to people.

C.Dolphins don’t live in groups. D.Dolphins can live a long life.

23、In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers (探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why are you travelling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?" they asked.

H. G. Wells could only imagine the travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.

Underground systems (体系) are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Chunnel", a tunnel connecting England and France, is now completed.

But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called "Alice Cities". The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.

Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a

good way to use the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H. G. Wells's "moon people" would agree. Would you?

【1】The explorers in H. G. Wells's story were surprised to find that the "moon people"

__________________.

A. knew so much about the Earth   B. understood their language

C. lived in so many underground cities   D. were ahead of them in space technology

【2】What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Discovering the moon's inner space.   B. Using the Earth's inner space.

C. Meeting the "moon people" again.   D. Travelling to outer space.

【3】What kind of underground systems are already here with us?

A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.   B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.

C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.   D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.

【4】Which of the following is true?

A. H. G. Wells travelled to the moon in 1901.

B. People today know there are a lot of "moon people" and underground cities.

C. In 1969, human beings landed on the moon.

D. Scientists are seriously thinking about how to use the moon.

【5】What would be the best title for the text?

A. Alice Cities--Cities of the Future   B. Space Travel with H. G. Wells

C. Enjoy Living Underground   D. Building Down, Not Up

24、“Let’s go on a horse instead of by bicycle,” said Bob. And he took two of his friends into the mountains. They put up their tents and then rode off to a forest to see how the trees were growing.

In the afternoon when they were about ten kilometers from their camp, it started to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads.
