21、Last year, my husband and I decided to visit New Zealand. We wanted to tour the country, but we both hate long car journeys. Our travel agent advised a 13-day coach trip(长途客车旅行).

At the end of each day, we felt we had no energy(精力) at all. But the next morning it seemed that everything was fresh again!

All the hotels we lived in were good. My favorite one was the Puka Park Lodge. It was on a hill above a beach and there were trees everywhere. We woke up and listened to the birds singing.

22、News of an air crash in the north of England has just been received. The plane, which was on a charter (包机) flight from London to Carlisle, was carrying a party of businessmen on their way to a trade fair. It seems likely that the plane ran into a heavy fog as it neared Carlisle and had to circle for twenty minutes. Everything seemed to be going well. The pilot was in constant radio communication with Grand Control, when the engines suddenly went wrong and all contact was lost. The plane crashed on the site of the Roman camp at Hadrian’s Hill, a place well known to archaeologists (考古学家) and tourists.

So far few details have been reported, but it is feared that at least twenty people lost their lives, among them the pilot, who was killed at once. The local ambulance and firemen were on the scene within minutes of the crash, but additional help had to be rushed from other areas.

Mr. Lesilie? Collins told our reporter, “We passengers noticed the engines were making a funny noise. Of course we couldn’t see anything because of the fog, but the pilot said there was nothing to worry about. The next thing we knew, the engines went dead. There was a rushing noise and a kind of flash and after that I don’t remember any more.”

Collins is now in hospital, being treated for his injuries. We will bring you further news of the crash as we receive it. In the meantime relatives are asked to ring 02-3457211 for information.

23、Although air is all around us, we can’t see it. We can feel it and breathe it. The air that surrounds the Earth is called the atmosphere (大气层) and it is made up mostly of two gases nitrogen and oxygen. Gravity pulls on the gasses and keeps the atmosphere close to the Earth’s surface. This is good, because we need oxygen in order to live.

There are many layers in the atmosphere. Because of gravity’s pull, most of the air is in the bottom layer. When scientists talk about the atmosphere, they often use the word altitude. They measure altitude from sea level, which is the place where the land and sea are at the same level. There is a lot of oxygen at sea level.

As the altitude increases, the atmosphere has less gas. This means there is less oxygen to breathe. That’s why it is harder to breathe at the top of a mountain than it is at sea level.

【1】With the help of ________ , we have enough oxygen to live with.

A．altitude

B．gravity

C．nitrogen

D．layers

【2】Which of the following is true about “altitude”?

A．Altitude starts from sea level.

B．There is less oxygen at sea level.

C．There is more oxygen at high altitude.

D．Altitude is used to talk about gravity.

【3】You might read the passage from ________.
