21、【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】

There are certain things you never imagine yourself saying.

“I just got a worm in my eye!” is one of them.

And yet I did say it—I screamed it, actually.

The family was all here and we were in the garden, when I saw a worm nearby. I asked my six-year-old grandson to come over and remove the worm. He picked up the worm, studied it quickly and then threw it into the air.

The worm quickly fell back to earth, landing on my face against my left eyelid. That’s when the screaming started and the jumping up and down.

You know how they say when you meet a small creature, that the small creature is just as afraid of you as you are of it? They lie.

The worm showed no fear. I, however, am still having nightmares about the experience, which was several days ago.

The most important thing in all this is that my grandson said he was sorry to me.

I’d just been reading a book that makes a connection between adults doing the slow and hard work of teaching manners to children and greater levels of civility in society.

Table manners, language manners and even manners in dress all show levels of self-control.

Having self-control limits what we say and how we behave, making many of us appear a good deal better than we really are.

Good manners also have the possibility to make mealtime a pleasant experience, even with small children.

All of my grandchildren, except the ones that can’t yet talk, ask to be excused before leaving the table.

It is a sign of respect for others at the table and a sign of respect for the meal itself. It’s also more pleasant than pushing one’s chair back and running for the back yard.

Those tall enough, and even those not tall enough, also take their dishes to the kitchen.

Manners are what civilize us—around our tables, in our families, homes and our communities.

So when a little boy has the courage to apologize to a grandma who is screaming and jumping up and down, at least we know that our years of teaching young people manners are paying off—one worm at a time.

【1】Where were they when the author saw a worm?

A．In the house.

B．In the garden.

C．In the park.

D．In the back yard.

【2】The worm fell down on the author’s________.

A．leg

B．head

C．left eyelid

D．right eyelid

【3】What does the underlined word “nightmares” mean?

A．好运

B．噩梦

C．回忆

D．愿望

【4】The author believed that his grandson’s apology is________.

A．a good manner

B．a bad behavior

C．unnecessary

D．a must

【5】What does the passage tell us?

A．The importance of apology.

B．The importance of good manners.

C．Many kinds of good manners.

D．A story of a worm.

22、National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for what they did in the past for the people in need. It is also a perfect chance to encourage (鼓励) others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer.

Some people are afraid of not knowing anyone else in the group, others don’t have enough time to take part in it.

23、   There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of(不管) age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.

The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world may be sleep­deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100，000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure(血压).

Why are so many people sleep­deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as “lazy”. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don't have much time to sleep, they only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you'll do.

How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr.James Maas, an expert(专家) in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit(信用) card. When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don't sleep, the more hours you should sleep to ‘pay back’ the hours on your ‘sleep credit card’.”

For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said, “Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish(愚蠢的) idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.”

【1】According to the writer, the easiest and cheapest way to improve health is to ________.

A.eat healthy food every day B.take exercise as much as possible

C.get medical help whenever necessary D.sleep eight hours or more every night

【2】According to Dr.James Maas, sleep is like ________.

A.an hour B.a report C.a credit card D.a piece of paper

【3】The underlined word “sleep­deprived” in the passage means “________”.

A.having a good sleep B.excited about sleep

C.having less sleep D.interested in sleeping

【4】What do the words of the famous person mean in Paragraph 5?

A.Sleeping during the night is foolish. B.Sleeping during the night is helpful.

C.People have no courage. D.People always do less work.

【5】What is the best title for the passage?

A.The Value of Sleep B.The Value of Study

C.The Ways of Eating Less D.The Ways of Making Money

24、   Sand is a common sight in the world. But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource (资源).

Sand is the second most-used resource in the world after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of it.

Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals (矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form.

But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses, roads and other things.

People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for example, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build.

If people keep using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnam may run out of construction (建造) sand by 2020, Live Science noted.

Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine (开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats (栖息地) of many plants and animals.

【1】What does the story tell us about sand?

A.It can only be found on beaches. B.It is the most-used resource in the world.

C.It can never be used up. D.It can be used to build houses.

【2】According to the passage, which country is using sand to build islands?

A.Singapore and Vietnam. B.Singapore and United Arab Emirates.

C.Britain and America. D.United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.

【3】Every year, we use about________tons of sand.

A.94 million B.20 billion C.20 million D.15 billion

【4】We are running out of sand because________.

A.there is only a little sand in the world B.we are using sand too quickly

C.we cannot mine enough sand D.our environment is badly polluted

【5】In places close to the sea, more floods will happen because of________.

A.overmining of sand B.climate change

C.the increasing size of certain islands D.the death of some plants
