24、   Today some women are wearing the new high platform shoes that came into style (时髦，式样)not long ago. Young women enjoy wearing stylish clothes. They also enjoy being taller while they are wearing these shoes.

But doctors are not very happy with the platform shoes. Foot specialist report that many women hurt their feet by wearing them. These specialists say that if you turn ankle when wearing a normal shoe, the foot can easily return to its position. However, if you fall while walking on a high platform shoe, your foot may turn so far you will break.

There is also a possibility that these shoes cause backaches. Many platform shoes have high heels (跟),and women who wear them say that these shoes sometimes make them feel tired.(It has been found that people use more energy when walking on high-heeled shoes.)

Because the platforms are very thick and stiff (硬), these shoes could cause auto (汽车) accidents. The driver might not be able to feel the difference between the brake (闸) and the accelerator (油门踏板). Also, if the platforms are very high, and if the driver has to stop the car quickly, she might not be able to move her foot to the brake in time.

25、A Beautiful Reminder

Clara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles with her mother when a flight attendant asked an urgent (紧急的) question over the loudspeaker:“Does anyone on board know American Sign Language (ASL)?”

Clara, 15 at the time, offered to help. The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf. He is flying home after visiting his sister. He is unable to make any kind of communication with the flight attendants.” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn't understand what he needed.

Clara had been studying American Sign Language for the past year and she knew she would be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (掌心). So she stood up, walked toward the front of the plane, and rested on her knees alongside 64⁃year⁃old Tim Cook. Gently taking his hand, letter by letter, she unlocked his wishes. She signed, “How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed awhile. She soon realized Cook didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk.

So for the next hour, that's what they did. She talked about her family and her plans of becoming a politician in the future. Cook told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn't see her,she looked attentively at his face with such kindness.

People on board thought it was cool. A passenger named Lynette Scribner took a photo and wrote about Clara's act of kindness on the Internet, calling it “a beautiful reminder in this time of too much awfulness…that there are still good people who are willing to look out for each other.”

27、Did the wind ever blow your hat away? Did you ever drop your notebook on a windy day? How many important pages did you lose? Wind is moving air. It can pick up light materials and carry them far away.

Wind is a force of erosion(侵蚀). It can carry away small materials such as dust particles(灰尘微粒) and sand particles from the earth’s surface. However, wind itself does not cause much erosion. Most “wind” erosion is done by particles which are carried by wind. Wind is an important natural force of erosion in dry places.

Wind can easily pick up sand particles. When they are blown against rocks, the sand particles hit the rocks in the wind. This happens over and over again. Little by little, the rocks wear down.

The particles which are carried by wind not only cause erosion, they also build up. What is carried away by the wind in one place will drop somewhere else.

When wind slows down, it drops the materials that it is carrying. When sand is dropped, it builds up and becomes dunes(沙丘). Sand dunes are common in deserts and on beaches. Some dunes can be harmful. They can bury(埋) farms and homes, even whole towns.

Wind carries dust particles higher and farther than it carries sand. Thick deposits of wind-blown dust may also build up. The wind-blown dust is called loess(黄土). Loess deposits are found in Washington State and Oregon State.   

Sometimes people plant grasses and trees to try to stop wind erosion. How does this help? The roots of plants help to hold down soil and other particles found on the ground.

【1】The purpose of writing the first paragraph is to ______.

A．introduce the topic

B．make a comparison

C．give background information

D．warn people of the situation

【2】What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A．Sand.

B．Wind.

C．Erosion.

D．Dust.

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

A．Wind itself can cause a lot of erosion to rocks.

B．Sand particles and dust particles cannot build up.

C．Planting grasses and trees can help stop wind erosion.

D．Wind can carry sand particles farther than dust particles.

【4】This passage can probably be read in the ______ part of a magazine.

A．Travel

B．Culture

C．Geography

D．Business

28、   When the little prince arrived on the earth, he was very much surprised because he could not see any people. At first, he was afraid if he had come to the w【1】planet.

He saw a snake. “What planet is this that I have come down on?” asked the little prince. “This is called the Earth, and this is A【2】,” said the snake. “This is the desert in Sahara in the southern part of the earth. People don't live in the desert.” said the snake.

The little prince sat down on a rock and r【3】 his eyes towards the sky. “I wonder whether the stars are shining so that one day each one of us may f【4】 his own again,” he said. “Look at my planet. It is right there a【5】 us, but it is too far away!”

The little prince smiled. “You're not very strong. You don't e【8】 have any feet. You cannot travel.” “I can take you f【9】 than any ship could take you. Whoever I touch, I sent back to the earth where he came from,” the snake said. “But you are true and you come from a【10】 planet...” The little prince did not answer.
