21、   Steven Contursi is an American. He has a hobby of collecting coins. He became well­ known because he owned a very special coin. It is thought as the nation's oldest silver dollar. In 1794, America began producing silver dollars. On the front of the coin was a drawing of Lady Liberty with long, straight hair; on the back was a drawing of the famous American eagle. About 1,750 such silver dollars were produced that year. But now, only about 150 are known to exist in the world. Luckily, Steven collected one. Even 216 years later, it still looks very fine. So many coin collectors have great interest in it.

In May, 2010, Steven sold the coin to an educational organization that collects rare coins and educates the public about them. Can you imagine how much he sold the one­dollar coin for? $7.85 million! The organization has a plan to put the coin on show. With the help of the little coin, the public will understand more about the early history of America.

22、   A black hole is a place in outer space with very strong gravity. Gravity is a great force(力量) that shapes the universe. On Earth, gravity makes apples fall from trees. It keeps your feet planted on the ground. The gravity in a black hole is much stronger. It is so strong that nothing around it can get away from it, not even light.

Black holes are invisible. We can't actually see them because they don’t throw back light. But scientists can find them with space telescopes (望远镜)and special tools. The strong gravity makes nearby stars move in a certain way. By studying how the stars move, scientists can find out if they are flying around a black hole. Strange things happen around black holes. This makes black holes a popular subject of science fiction(科幻) stories, although they are very unreal.

A black hole forms when a star dies. The star falls in on itself and turns into a very small point. Because of its small size and huge mass(质量), the gravity will be so strong that it will pull light in and become a black hole. Black holes can grow huge as they continue to pull other things in and “eat” them. Many scientists believe that there are super-massive black holes at the center of galaxies, including the Milky Way.

The idea of the black hole was first suggested by two different scientists in the 18th century: John Michelle and Pierre-Simon Laplace. In 1967, a physicist named John Archibald Wheeler came up with the name “black hole”. Studying black holes can tell us many things about our galaxy and help scientists answer questions about the universe.

【1】The word “invisible” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”.

A.far to go B.easy to find C.difficult to catch D.impossible to see

【2】The third paragraph is mainly about_________.

A.how big black holes are B.how heavy black holes are

C.how black holes are formed D.how black holes “eat” stars

【3】From the passage we learn_________.

A.a star's moving path can help scientists find a black hole

B.writers love writing about black holes because they are real

C.there aren't any black holes at the center of the Milky Way

D.John Archibald Wheeler found the first black hole in space

23、   I know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since he was born, I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven happy years in the world with love. But when Rohan was born, life changed. All of a sudden, I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.

Finally, I hated this small boy. He had no idea what had made me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house who did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and always asked him to leave me alone.

Then all that changed. I can’t remember everything of that day six years ago, but I remember that I was feeling very angry. Then I found myself in my brother’s room. I couldn’t help reaching my hand through the bars(栏杆) of his bed. At once, he reached his small hand and softly touched mine. And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me feel so important? For the first time, I saw my brother through the eyes of a sister. Suddenly I realized love from my family was always with me.

Now, I can’t imagine(想象) life without my brother. It is unbelievable(难以置信的) how much I have learned about life from him. Rohan has taught me that one should not care only for himself.

【1】The sister was   years old when her brother was born.

A.six B..five C.eight D.seven

【2】The sister used to be the only person in the house who   .

A.when the sister was very angry B.when Rohan had to share my toys

C.when Rohan softly touched his sister’s hand D.when the sister found herself in her room

【4】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The sister doesn’t know her brother. B.The sister hate her brother all the time .

24、   From deserts and beaches to playgrounds, sand is a common sight. But you might not know that sand is also a useful resources（资源）.

Sand is the second most –used resource in the world after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of it.

Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals（矿物质）. It can take tens of thousands of years to form（形成）. But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 million tons of sand every year to build houses, roads and other things. That’s enough to build a 20-meter-high by 20-meter-wide wall around the equator（赤道）every year.

People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for example, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build.

If people keep using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnam may run out of construction（建造）sand by 2020, Live Science noted.

Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine（开采）more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats（栖息地）of many plants and animals.

【1】Sand is ____________ most used resource in the world.

A.the first B.the second C.the twentieth D.the ninety-fourth

【2】Palm islands are in ____________.

A.America B.Vietnam C.United Arab Emirates D.Singapore

【3】Mining sand can cause ____________.

A.Vietnam to disappear B.sand to be more common

C.environment to be better D.more floods to happen

【4】Why do people mine much construction sand? Because ____________.

A.they want to build buildings B.they can find more of them

C.sand is limitless D.sand can form quickly

【5】The writer of the passage mainly tells us _____________.

A.people use sand to make islands B.many places will disappear

C.the world is running out of sand D.there is much sand around the world

25、   In our life, there are many chores we can do, such as taking out the rubbish, f【1】(叠) clothes and sweeping the floor. By doing chores, we can understand the meaning of independence and f【2】(公正性). We can also learn to take care of ourselves. But many students hate doing them. They think it′s a w【3】 (浪费) of time. Anyway, they have much homework to do.

I have a neighbor, Jimmy. He d【4】 (依靠) on his parents all the time. Once, while his parents were on business, there was a terrible m【5】 (杂乱) in his life. He could n【6】 (也不) wash nor cook. He borrowed many things from me. I l【7】 (借出) them to him, but he never returned them. He only ate snacks and dropped his shirts everywhere. He cut his fingers many times. I did my best to p【8】(提供) help, but he still threw a helpless look at me. Under much s【9】 (精神压力), he fell ill.

Luckily, since then, he has known the importance of independence. In order to be independent, he is learning to d【10】 (发展) himself. I hope he can pass the test of life as soon as possible.
