21、My name is Jennifer and now I am in Beijing. I came to China one year ago, but I didn’t see much of the country. So I decided to leave my job and go on a 3-month trip by bike.

My parents were both in surprise when they heard the news. They tried to talk me out of it. “It’s not safe (安全的). You’re in another country,” they said. But I made up my mind.

Before this bike trip, I could never ride for over two hours in one day, but I got stronger every day. At last, I could easily ride for eight hours each day.

I saw a lot of beautiful things and had some delicious food on the way. But the best of the trip was the people. All of them were friendly. Once I met some visitors in Yunnan.

22、Copenhagen is a city full of fairy tales(童话故事). If you want to explore it, you have to spend a long time and walk slower to enjoy yourself. Copenhagen was the first city to have a street for walkers only. The city has less traffic noise and pollution than any other European city.

Walking along the river banks, you’ll see the Amalienborg Palace first. The king’s family are living there.

Churches and castles(城堡) show us the original city. Copenhagen became the capital(首都) of Denmark in the early 15th century. But fires in the 18th century completely destroyed the old wooden buildings. Much of what we see today dates back to(追溯到) the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Keep going, and you’ll see the Christiansborg Palace. The town of Copenhagen began there. Then you are going to Nyhavn, a waterway, which was dug from 1670 to 1673. When you see it, you’ll understand why Hans Christian Andersen made this beautiful waterway his home. Nyhavn is a peaceful and wonderful place. You’ll usually see some rich people walk along here.

If you walk there, you can enjoy the old trees, the colorful lights and the beautiful gardens. You might feel as if you were in a fairy tale.

【1】The underlined word “explore” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________” in Chinese.

A．探索

B．进入

C．找到

D．离开

【2】Which of the following European capital cities has the least traffic noise and pollution?

A．London.

B．Rome.

C．Paris.

D．Copenhagen.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE about Nyhavn?

A．Andersen made it his home.

B．It has a history of 383 years.

C．Rich people seldom walk along it.

D．It’s a fictitious(虚构的) place in a fairy tale.

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．Preventing fires.

B．Visiting Copenhagen.

C．Writing fairy tales.

D．Digging a waterway.

23、I think the Buddy Club is great. I really enjoy talking with the older students about school life and growing up. They can tell me a lot. One student told me how he relaxed (放松) before exams. Another student told me about great websites about learning History and English.

The Buddy Club is also a good place to just forget about school altogether! One of the older students taught us origami (日本折纸). We made paper planes, birds and hats together.

The table tennis tournament（锦标赛) was a great idea. I didn’t do very well, but I learnt a lot from watching the doubles tournament won by a fourteen-year-old girl and a seventeen-year-old boy.

Last year, we had the annual (每年的) Buddy Club Picnic. Everyone enjoyed the games we played. After I learnt how to fish, I caught two fish in the lake. I think it might be a good idea to change the Buddy Club Picnic to a weekend camping trip. We could learn how to put up (架起) tents (帐篷) and how to find our way through a forest. Many of the older students know how to do this already, and I think they would like to teach the younger students.

I want to say again how much I enjoy the club. When I’m older, I will make friends with younger students. Then, I can tell them all about school life and growing up.

【1】What does the writer enjoy doing at the club?

A. Learning Japanese. B. Talking to older students.

C. Losing at table tennis.  D. Surfing the Internet.

【2】What websites did the writer learn about?

A. Paper planes.   B. Origami.

C. History and English.   D. Relaxing.

【3】Did the writer win the table tennis tournament?

A. No, and he was very unhappy.

B. No, but came second.

C. Yes, he won the doubles.

D. No, but he enjoyed watching it.

【4】How does the writer want to change the picnic?

A. He wants more fish to be caught.

B. He wants to make it shorter.

C. he wants to have it in a tent.

D. He wants to change it to a camping trip.

【5】What does the writer want to learn?

A. How to put up a tent and make a fire.

B. How to put up a tent and find his way through a forest.

C. How to make clean water and find his way through a forest.

D. How to find his way through a forest and climb a mountain.

24、

Can you imagine astronauts’everyday life in space? They also need to eat, s【1】, exercise and relax. They do the same things as us , but they do t【2】 differently.

On the e【3】, we put food on a plate. Gravity（重力）holds the food down and keeps it on the plate. But there is almost no gravity in space, so f【4】 can float（漂浮）away, and astronauts must eat carefully.

In space, sleeping is very different f【5】 that on the earth. Some a【6】 like to float in the air, but most like to be in a sleeping bag. They tie（系）the bag to a wall so that they won’t float away at night.

Exercise is very i【7】 in space. On the earth, your legs carry your body, but in space, astronauts float, so they do not u【8】 their legs often. This is very bad for their legs, so they must e【9】 for thirty minutes every day.

After a day’s work, astronauts relax. They may listen to music, read, watch films, play games, or talk to their friends and families on the earth. Sometimes they just e【10】 floating in the air. How interesting!
