  “When she drinks your medicine，she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth，”the king said．“If you don’t do this．you’ll have a beating．”The doctors thought it impossible，but they dared not say anything against the king’s order．Just then an old doctor stepped forward．“Oh，we shall certainly obey your order，”he said，“but it takes time．We have to dig a mineral from Mount Kunlun when the snow melts for the second time．The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years．So we need twelve years．”

23、

One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. And at 8,844.43 meters high, Mount Qomolangma is the tallest mountain of the Himalayas as well as on the Earth. While it is famous for its beautiful views, parts of the mountain are facing a problem: rubbish. Every year, visitors and climbers throw away tons of rubbish, such as bottles and plastic bags.

According to the UN, over 140 tons of rubbish has been left on the mountain. To reduce rubbish, China is limiting (限制) the number of people who are allowed to climb up the north side of the mountain. Only 300 people will be allowed to climb it, and only during spring.

People cleaned the mountain last year, removing rubbish at a height of 5,200 meters. They collected about 8.4 metric tons (公吨) of rubbish.

This year, the local government plans to spend 4 million yuan on a new clean-up activity. The local government is also setting up stations to sort (分类), recycle and break down rubbish collected from the mountain. A group of artists will also try to turn the rubbish into art works. They will show these works of art to remind people not to leave rubbish when climbing the mountain.

【1】What problem are parts of Mount Qomolangma facing?

A.Noise. B.Rubbish. C.Air pollution. D.Water pollution.

【2】How many people will be allowed to climb up the north side of the mountain during spring?

A.140. B.5,200. C.4 million. D.300.

【3】The underlined word “removing” in Paragraph3 probably means________.

A.taking away B.giving away C.putting on D.using up

【4】The artists will show their art works in order to________.

A.teach people to make works of art

B.help people to know about Qomolangma

C.encourage people to clean up Qomolangma

D.remind people not to throw rubbish on Qomolangma

24、   Thinking about my time in France, I noticed quite a few differences between the French and the English.

The first example is about the French language. In French, there are two ways to say ‘you’: ‘tu’ is  the informal  (不正规的) form, while ‘vous’ is the formal form. When I learnt French, I was taught to call everyone ‘vous’ unless ( 除 非 ) they were my family or a friend. So I was surprised that everyone in France used the informal ‘tu’ all the time. School children used ‘tu’ with their teachers as well as the head teacher. Even strangers I met in the street would call me ‘tu’, and sometimes ‘tu’ was written on street signs. But I continued to use ‘vous’ because I didn’t want people to think I was being impolite. To be honest, I’m thankful that in English we don’t have to worry about these things!

As you might know, school children in the UK traditionally wear school uniforms but in France pupils do not wear uniforms. It was a culture shock for me to see children wearing Spiderman T-shirts  and baggy blue  jeans while in the classroom. The final difference was the relaxed attitude at school. Teachers were never in a hurry, and  the children and teachers were given long rests and much time to eat their lunch. While  in  the  UK,  school day might seem highly pressured (有压力的).

The UK and France are only separated by a small channel of the sea, but there are many differences between the two cultures! Anyway, I cannot deny (否认) what a great chance it was to live and work in another country.

【1】Which of the following is NOT a culture shock to the writer?

A. It takes French students much time to eat lunch.

B. French students use ‘tu’ with their head teacher.

C. Students in France wear different clothes at school.

D. Teachers and students in the UK seem highly pressured.

【2】What might the writer say to his friends when he goes back to the UK?

A. It’s very fantastic  to stay in France. B. People in France are more polite than us.

C. The French culture is  just the same as ours. D. It’s more difficult to learn French in France.

【3】What is the best title of the passage?

A. Life in France B. Troubles in France

C. Cultural Differences D. Different Languages
