21、How would we travel without maps? It would be a bit adventurous (冒险的) to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there was not a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map—makers were explorers (探险家), especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.

So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines (海岸线). And people world use time, not distance (距离), to measure(测量)the way they went; the next village was a three—hour ride, for example.

In fact, in the early maps, people did not draw marks. They drew stars. It was very easy to the night sky and use it for navigation (航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities appeared. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave distances and directions.

The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train was not the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change. His new design for the Underground map was not very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and 700,000 copies were printed in 1933.

These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly with a GPS. It’s really difficult to get lost!

【1】When did road maps come out?

A. Around 15th and 16th centuries.

B. When people began to travel by train.

C. When people began to travel by sea.

D. When cities and towns were built.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE?

A. GPS helped people to travel long time ago.

B. Ancient (古代的) people could travel on a horse without maps.

C. The sky was polluted by light before cities were built.

D. Henry Beck’s map was not popular with passengers.

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Maps have a long history.

B. We never get lost these days.

C. We can’t travel with maps.

D. Henry Beck designed a new map.

22、   Playing is serious business for children. In fact , it's what they do best! Ask them why they do it! and kids will probably say, "Because it's fun." But it's much more than that. It's also good for them.

Studies shows that from birth babies begin learning through play. They use their five senses to get to know their new world. Brightly coloured toys and the clothing help develop a baby's sense（感觉） of sight.

Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination（想象）.Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech(高技术)toy. That's because a box can become anything a child imagines it to be.

Playing doesn't become any less important once children start school. Many valuable(有价值的) lessons about life are learned on the school playground. Kids learn how to share , take turns and play by the rules.

根据短文判断正（T）误（F）

【1】Babies get to know the new word through play.

【2】An empty box is more fun than a high-tech toy.

【3】Toys can develop birth babies’ sense of sight.

【4】Once children start school, playing doesn't become any important .

【5】Children can learn many things about life through play.

23、Every year thousands of young people in England finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to university. Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers. Volunteers give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the environment.

Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to university to study Chinese, but now she’s living in Belize. Pauline says, “I’m working with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is very polluted, the coral dies. I’m helping to do research (研究) on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about the problem before it’s too late.”

“I’m staying with a family here and I help do some housework. I don’t get any money, but that’s OK. I love my work here, and I’m learning a lot about the people of Belize—and myself!

When I finish my work, I want to stay here for another three months. I want to travel around Belize and Central America.”

24、The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of (短缺) water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly (直接地). Man can only drink and use the 3% — the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can’t even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted (污染).

Now more water is needed.The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if (即使) every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?

The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it’s already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we’ll be in no danger of drying up.

【1】The world is thirsty because ________.

A．3/4 of the earth is covered with water

B．we have enough sea water to use directly

【3】From the passage we learn _________.

A．if every city reuses its water, we’ll be in no danger of drying up

B．man can only drink and use about 25% of water on the earth

C．today in most large cities water is used only once

D．water can be used only once

【4】To avoid the serious water shortage, which of the following is the most important?

D．The Polluted Water

25、   There was a small village near a mountain. People there loved their village very much and they grew many【1】on the mountain. Water in the rivers was very clear and the 【2】was clean.

But 【7】（没有人） knew what the village would be like in the future.
