21、   I was walking around in a store. I saw a cashier(收银员) hand a little boy his money back, saying, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll." I walked towards him and asked him who the doll was for.   

"It's the doll that my sister wanted most for Christmas," he said. I told him that maybe Father Christmas would bring it to her and that he shouldn't worry. He sadly replied, "No. Father Christmas can't bring it to her. I have to give the doll to my mom so that she can give it to my sister when she joins her."

His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mom is going to see God very soon too, so I think that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister."

My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and suggested that we count the money again. "Okay," he said. "I hope that I have enough." I added some of my money to his without letting him see and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money left. "Thank you, God, for giving me enough money!" the little boy said.

I left the store, feeling as if my life had been changed forever.

【1】Why couldn't the boy buy the doll?

A．Because he didn't know the cashier.

B．Because he didn't have enough money.

C．Because he didn't find the doll.

D．Because the dolls had been sold out.

A．Father Christmas

B．his sister

C．his mother

D．his father

【3】According to the passage, which the following is TRUE?

A．The boy's mom was badly ill.

B．The cashier gave the doll to the boy for free.

C．The boy's mom wanted the doll most.

D．Father Christmas brought the doll to the boy's sister.

22、   You've probably heard of working dogs that help police officers, or horses that help farmers. Did you know that carrier pigeons can be trained to help people too? Here are some examples.

Mailman

Carrier pigeons can be trained to carry messages to people. The note is placed into a small can. The can is tied（绑）to the pigeon's leg. Then the pigeon flies off with the note.

Lifeguard

From high up in the sky, specially trained pigeons can find orange life jackets in the ocean. Sometimes it is difficult for humans to find people lost at sea, especially when the weather is bad. However, pigeons can fly quickly over a large area of water to look for people.

Spy

Many years ago, carrier pigeons were used to help our country during war（战争）—spy pigeons had small cameras that were tied to their feet. As a pigeon flew over enemy（敌人）land, the camera took photos of the land below. This would allow our soldiers to see where the enemies were and what they were doing.

So next time you see a pigeon, stop and watch it closely. What might look like an ordinary bird to most people might actually be helpful.

【1】Which part of the carrier pigeon is the can tied to?

A.The pigeon's back. B.The pigeon's head.

24、Ladies and Gentlemen. thank you very much for coming to this concert. I hope you have enjoyed the entertainment . As you may know, all the performers have donated their time to help us.

The purpose（目的） of this concert is to raise money for children in Africa. Every day hundreds of children in Africa die because they have diseases or have not had enough to eat.

There are two main reasons. First, there is no work for the children's parents, so they have no money to buy food or medicine. Second, the governments in many African countries do not have the money to take care of the poor.

Most African countries are poor. The land is not good for growing food and the weather is also bad for farming. There are many organizations trying to help these poor people. The organization we are trying to help, The Feed Africa Fund, spends millions of dollars dinner every year on food for poor people in Africa. This money comes from people like you- kind, generous people who do not want to see children die of hunger.

All the money you give this evening will go to The Feed Africa Fund. Just one

dollar can buy enough rice or corn to feed a family of four for three days. Think about it: only one dollar can feed four people for three days.

How much do you spend on food every day? Ten dollars? Twenty dollars? I am sure you can spend a little less on your own food so that you have a few dollars for The Feed Africa Fund.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we will now take a collection. Please be generous.

【1】What did the people probably see before this speech?

A. Some performers B Animals doing tricks

【2】What will the money be raised for?

A. Children without parents. B. Children without food.

C. Countries without money. D. Countries with bad water.

【3】If a person gave five dollars, how long could the money feed four people?

A. Three days. B. One week.

C. Half a month. D. One month.

【4】How would you describe "generous"people?

A. People who get sick often

B. People who give money easily.

C. People who are thin with hunger.

D. People who work hard.

【5】Why are most African countries so poor?

A. Because the weather is bad for farming.

B. Because the land is not good for growing.

C. Because the governments have no money.

D. Both A and B.

25、   Many people like to watch TV. 【1】(watch) TV is one of the most important activities of the day. TV 【2】(bring) the outside closer to 【3】(people) homes.

What's life in the deepest part for the sea?

If you want to answer these and other kinds of 【7】(question), just turn on the TV. Turn it on and watch. You can see a lot 【8】(连词) learn a lot.
