21、   While I was waiting for my wife outside her office building, I saw a beggar (乞丐) coming to me.

"I hope he won't ask me for any money," I thought.

He didn't. He came and sat in front of the bus stop, but it seemed that he didn't have enough money to take the bus. "That's a pretty car," he said after a few minutes, pointing to my car. I gave him a smile and went on cleaning my car. He sat there quietly as I worked. "Do you need any help?" I asked. "Don't we all?" he said. The three simple words surprised me and I should never forget. I was feeling successful and important. above a beggar in the street, until those three words hit me like a gun (枪).

Don't we all? I needed help, maybe not for money or a place to sleep, but I needed help. I gave him some money not only enough for a bus, but enough to get a warm meal and a place to sleep. Those three little words are true. No matter how much you have, you need help. No matter how little you have, no matter how many problems you have, even without money or a place to sleep, you can give help.

22、How would we travel without maps? It would be a bit adventurous (冒险的) to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there was not a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map—makers were explorers (探险家), especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.

So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines (海岸线). And people world use time, not distance (距离), to measure(测量)the way they went; the next village was a three—hour ride, for example.

In fact, in the early maps, people did not draw marks. They drew stars. It was very easy to the night sky and use it for navigation (航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities appeared. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave distances and directions.

The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train was not the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change. His new design for the Underground map was not very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and 700,000 copies were printed in 1933.

These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly with a GPS. It’s really difficult to get lost!

【1】When did road maps come out?

A. Around 15th and 16th centuries.

B. When people began to travel by train.

C. When people began to travel by sea.

D. When cities and towns were built.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE?

A. GPS helped people to travel long time ago.

B. Ancient (古代的) people could travel on a horse without maps.

C. The sky was polluted by light before cities were built.

D. Henry Beck’s map was not popular with passengers.

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Maps have a long history.

B. We never get lost these days.

C. We can’t travel with maps.

D. Henry Beck designed a new map.

23、   Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries (秘密). Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.

For many years, historians (历史学家) believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.

Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial (埋葬) place or a place to honor ancestors (祖先). Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.

Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working-and great planners!”

【1】Visitors like to go there in ________ to enjoy ________ on the longest day of the year.

A.June; sunrise B.July; sunrise C.June; sunset D.July; sunset

【2】When was Stonehenge most likely (可能) built?

A.750,000 years ago. B.Six centuries ago. C.In 2001. D.5,000 years ago.

【3】What do most people think was Stonehenge built for?

A.Ancient leaders built it a temple to communicate with the gods.

B.It might be a kind of calendar to tell people the summertime.

C.It can prevent illness and make people feel energetic.

D.It must be for a special purpose because of the position of the stones.

【4】What aren’t people interested in about Stonehenge?

A.Who built it. B.Where it was built.

C.When it was built. D.Why it was built.

【5】What does Paul Stoker mean by “we do know they must have been hard-working-and great planners”?

A.He thinks Stonehenge is really a great mystery.

B.He has known who built Stonehenge.

C.He believes he will find out who built Stonehenge.

D.He encourages volunteers to build another Stonehenge.
