21、It was getting late. There was no noise in the forest. We could only hear the birds singing. And then, a bear—a big brown bear—came into the forest. The bear stopped under a tall tree. He was very hungry. He looked up into the tree. There in the nut tree was his supper—a supper of nice nuts. But the nuts were high up in the tree. The hungry bear could not reach them. But he knew how to get his supper. He climbed up the tree.

Up and up he climbed. He climbed onto a big branch of the tree. He sat there and then shook (摇) the branch again and again. At last the branch broke. The brown bear fell down with the branch and nuts.

22、Do you see many signs around you? Do you know the signs are an important part of our daily life? They can be in pictures or in words to give people information. What do people think are good signs? If you are thinking about making signs for others, what should you know?

The most important thing is that signs should be simple and easy to understand. It is important to use clear language. On the other hand, the words should be easy to write and you just need to write down what you want to do. “Keep off the grass” is a very good example. It means “Don’t touch or walk on the grass”.

Nowadays, there is a saying that “A picture paints a thousand words”. Perhaps that’s why we are seeing more and more signs in pictures, or a combination(结合) of pictures and words. However, that’s the difficult part, because picture signs may have different meanings in different countries.

【1】First, a good sign should be ________.

A．clear

B．beautiful

C．funny

D．interesting

【2】What is the disadvantage of picture signs?

A．They are too simple.

B．They are not easy to understand.

C．They are not as interesting as word sign.

D．They may have different meanings in different countries.

【3】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Signs around Us

B．Pictures and Words

C．The History of Signs

D．Signs Are Simple and Clear

23、A musician（音乐家）named Becky Dell, from London, decided to test herself for a year after watching David Attenborough’s Blue Planet.

Becky set herself a rule of not buying anything “I didn’t need”. She managed to save an amazing £1,621.69, which she donated to charity. She said, “I didn’t buy clothes, shoes, presents, other makeup, hair products, jewelry, bags, decorations, anything disposable, plants, flowers, house items etc.”

Over the year, she bought 12 unimportant items, adding, “For example, a new jacket when my zip（拉链）broke at -l5℃ up a mountain, a couple of essential（必不可少的）things for my very elderly cats and a couple of essential house items.” She managed to get around giving a gift for Christmas and birthdays by making presents instead. And while the first six months were easy, Becky said it got hard around August. She said, “It got way hard from August, as clothes started running out and I darned（缝补）my socks with holes. It got easier in December as I could start counting down. The thing I missed the most was buying plants and flowers. I love nature and found that hard.”

Now her test is over. Becky said the first thing she was looking forward to was buying some socks. She said, “I watched the plastic floating（漂浮）in the seas and wondered with shame how much was mine. I decided to do a year of not consuming. Actually thinking about it, I think it was my desire（渴望）for a £4 cushion（靠垫）that pushed my guilt over the edge last December. Nobody needs a £40 cushion, no matter how pretty it is, especially when they already have seven cushions on their sofa.”

【1】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Blue Planet may be a TV programme about pollution.

B．Becky Dell set herself the rule in order to save money.

C．Christmas and birthday gifts were among the 12 items.

D．The first item Becky would buy would be some flowers.

【2】Which of the four underlined expressions may be wrongly described?

A．When people “count down”, they will feel worried and nervous.

B．“… found that hard” means “found not buying plants and flowers hard”.

C．“… a year of not consuming” means “a year of not buying”.

D．“…pushed my guilt over the edge” means “made me feel bad for not living a green life”.

【3】In which paragraph can we find the result of Becky’s test?

A．Para. 1.

B．Para. 2.

C．Para. 3.

D．Para. 4.

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

A．A Great Musician.

B．A Generous Donation.

C．A Meaningful Test.

D．A Hard Year.
