21、   During my travels through the mountains of Greece I was only ever scared once, it was dusk and as I walked. I came across six large wolves that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.

As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow that surrounded the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 meters from me and stared. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling me. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I couldn't show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised his head once more but this time let out a long, loud cry. The awful cry rang out across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost certain it was a sign to be death.

Every moment I expected to see the pack of wolves’ dash at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my direction or make me run they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.

If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am certain the whole pack would have attacked me in a moment. But my show of false courage intimidated them and kept them back.

【1】Why didn't the wolves attack the man？

A.They were no longer hungry when they saw him.

B.The man was already known to the wolves.

C.They were too far away to catch the man.

D.The man showed no fear as he passed by.

【2】The underlined word 'intimidated' means   .

A.encouraged B.scared C.doubted D.hurt

【3】What is the author's purpose in writing this story？

A.To show that mountains can be dangerous places.

B.To discuss the habits of mountain wolves.

C.To stress the need for courage when in danger.

D.To make people aware of the danger of wolves.

【4】Which of these is right according to the passage？

A.The wolves were friendly to the writer.

B.The writer knew wolves were dangerous in childhood.

C.The lead wolf asked the other wolves to stand in line.

D.The writer wasn't afraid of the wolves at all.

【5】The best title of the passage could be   .

A.In Face of Fear B.My Trip to Greece

C.My Mountain Travels D.A Man without Fear

22、My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.

Families aren’t what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.

And the cars! No one walks anymore; more and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on schooldays, even in winter. But now students don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think anymore. In maths class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide (加减乘除) by using our heads. But now kids don’t use their heads anymore; instead, they use calculators (计算器).

Most families have computers and there are lights at home now. In the past we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don’t often eat home-cooked food.

And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...

Life used to be simple, but it isn’t simple anymore.

【1】What does my grandfather think of the life now?

A．He thinks the life now is very good.

23、Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern plane it takes one day to travel places which took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.

Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages（优势）. You can see the country you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. _They_____make even the longest journey enjoyable.

Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large planes and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not as fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.

Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish --- where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel where you can spend the night. That is why traveling by car is a popular pleasant trip, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.
