21、   When I was about 12 years old, my older brother, James, smuggled a BB gun into the house. Our parents had told us many times that we were not allowed  to bring home guns or knives, even if they were just toys. Having any form of weaponry in our home was strictly forbidden.

James brought me to his room. He opened his closet door and took out a shoebox that was buried beneath a heap of clothes. The BB gun was inside. I was immediately enamored by the shiny barrel.

"Can I shoot it, Jamesie?" I asked, hopefully.

"No way," James said, taking it from me and putting it back.

One day, when no one was home, I went into James' closet and took it out. For some inexplicable reason - I have no idea what I was thinking - I went to the front window of the second floor in our row house. I cracked the window open. I pointed the gun outside and shot. I quickly shut the window and peeked outside.

In a matter of seconds, old Mr. Schlosberg came out of his grocery store. He looked back at his store window. He looked up the street. He looked down the street. Then he looked straight across to our house.

Thankfully, Jamesie made it home before Mother or Father.

As he stepped through the door, I could hear old Mr. Schlosberg call his name. "James, James," he called. "Come here, son."

After several minutes, James ran back across the street and into the living room. I had retreated into the kitchen. "Alma!" he screamed. "Get out here! You cracked Mr. Schlosberg's window with my BB gun!"

"Oh, please, Jamesie," I begged. "Don't let him tell Mother. She will whip my bottom real good!" Jamesie sighed. He wiped my tears and went back across the street to Mr. Schlosberg’s. I don't know what James said to that man, but there was never a mention of the incident again.

Years later, I found out Jamesie had used the money he got from his newspaper route to pay for Mr. Schlosberg's cracked window. He only got one cent for every paper he delivered. He managed to pay back the debt just before he went off to fight in World WarII.

Since that day, I have never touched a gun: a BB gun, a water gun, a real gun, or any other type.

【1】Why was the gun hidden in the closet?

A.The gun was too expensive.

B.The family had only one gun.

C.The law didn’t allow anyone to have a gun

D.The parents didn’t allow a gun to appear at home.

【2】What did Alma expect from James after he shot Mr. Schlosberg’s window?

A.To deal with the problem. B.To talk with his parents.

C.To throw away the gun. D.To tell the truth.

【3】Which of the following best describes James as a brother?

A.Responsible and strict. B.Brave and determined.

C.Responsible and caring. D.Naughty and determined.

【4】The best title of the passage is _________.

A.a warmhearted brother B.a BB gun

23、   On 29 May, 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and his guide, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, claimed their place in the history books. The pair succeeded in reaching the top of the 8,850-metre Mount Everest at 11:30 am for the first time in history.

Years later, they recalled(回忆),“At this altitude, the air is thin and the lack of oxygen makes every step taxing. The temperature is a pleasant 20^C in the sunshine but can be 15 degrees cooler in the shade. On a clear night, lows of- 6C are common, and even in late May snowfall sometimes occurs.

“To simulate(模拟) high-altitude conditions in order to give the body a head start before climbing the mountain, we rented an altitude tent for our home- a clear plastic frame connected to a machine that would reduce the amount of oxygen inside. Sleeping in this tent for two weeks helps the body to produce more red blood cells, which help send more blood to the body and increase our strength. We also adjusted our diet to include more pumpkin seeds for iron and vitamin B-both red blood cell-promoting nutrients," recalled Sir Edmund Hillary.

Two weeks later, they began climbing Everest. “Two thirds into the race, we hit a wall. Even with a small gradual progress, we suffered from severe altitude sickness. We were worried we would have passed out. We felt really down," he said during an interview.

“Both Tenzing and I thought that once we'd climbed the mountain, it was unlikely anyone would ever make another attempt," Sir Edmund said years later.“We couldn't have been more wrong. Each year, hundreds of people from around the world apply for climbing permits from Nepal's Ministry of Tourism, and hundreds more participate in one of the most challenging races on the planet: the Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon, which was first held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their historic adventure and is held annually on 29 May,

【1】What does the underlined word “taxing” in paragraph 2 mean?

B．The preparations for the mountain climbing.

C．The difficulties of climbing Mount Everest.

D．The natural environment of Mount Everest.

【3】What happened when Hillary and his guide reached two thirds of Mount Everest?

A．They were stopped by a wall.

B．They fell ill and decided to give up.

C．They were unhappy about their progress.

D．They had serious high altitude symptoms.

【4】What can we know about the Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon?

B．It was hosted by Sherpa Tenzing Norgay.

C．It was first held on 29 May, 2003.

D．It is organized every four years.

24、   Many of us just laugh it away when they are told incredible(难以置信的) stories about other people, but I have a deep interest in these stories and I prefer to believe they are true. Here’s one I collected from a total stranger.

“Well, I was 11 when my family arrived at Fern Lake overlooking Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was so beautiful to look miles across the Rockies and thousands of feet below into the valley. My parents were busy getting lunch out of the trunk so I climbed over the wooden fence to get closer to the cliff edge in the hope that I wouldn’t miss any beautiful sight down there.

I started down a little hill but soon started sliding on loose pebble rocks(鹅卵石). I fell on my back, but kept going faster and faster to what seemed the edge of the world (a 2,000 foot drop). In seconds I knew I was going to die. My feet and legs went first over the edge at a high speed. Then suddenly I felt two hands push hard on my chest and stopped me dead. My heart was racing and I slowly inched my body back to where I finally could make it back up the hill.

My father was waiting there and screaming at me for doing such a dangerous stunt (特技). I tried to tell him and my mom about the hands that held me back, but to this day they don’t believe me. They thought I was just trying to get out of trouble with a made-up story.”

We parted ways, but I assured her that I believed every word of her story. I could see a little surprise and happiness on her face.

That’s why I always ask people to share their miracles (奇迹). Each real story makes my days full of hope and gratefulness.
