2、

Is the art of conversation dying? The other day, my wife and two teenage children did something we haven’t 【1】 for ages. It didn’t require the Internet, a TV screen, batteries or anything else for that matter. But we all enjoyed it so much we’re thinking of doing it again 【2】.

We had a conversation. The kind of real, live conversation that was 【3】 when I was growing up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mails but we seems to be losing the art of communicating face-to-face. Young people spend most of that time 【4】 their mobile phones. And teenagers nowadays seems to prefer communicating 【5】 their friends by sending text messages rather than actually speaking to them.

If we carry on like this, in the future, we’ll lose the use of our voice. What do you think? E-mail me, and who knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!

23、Why is the sea salt? Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn’t scientific, it holds some other truth in it—especially about the human heart.

Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill (磨粉机) and said, “Say ‘Mill; please grind (磨粉)’, and it’ll make whatever you want, to stop it, say ‘Mill, please cease (停止) grinding.’ three times.”

Soon the old couple sold the nice things the mill made to people and had a much better life. But the young couple next door were envious (妒忌的) when they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food. So one day, the young husband went to the old couple’s house secretly and heard, “Mill, please grind hot chocolate!” He was surprised to see it coming out.

Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. With it, they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed excitedly and asked, “What do you want it to make?” “Oh, I don’t know. Why not salt?” the wife said. “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop,” the wife said. But the husband didn’t know how. “Mill, please stop grinding! Please, no more!” His words didn’t work. The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.

And there it’s been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt. That’s why the sea is salt.

【2】How did the young husband’s feelings change according to the passage?

A．Sorry—sad—excited.

B．Envious—excited—afraid.

C．Envious—nervous—proud.

D．Surprised—thankful—happy.

【3】Why couldn’t the young couple stop the coffee mill?

A．Because the mill was broken.

B．Because the young couple left the village.

C．Because the husband didn’t say the right words.

D．Because there was salt everywhere.

24、阅读下面短文，根据首字母提示或括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。

For many people the subject of hiccups (嗝) is a joke, but for Harry Mendes, a fifteen-year-old schoolboy from Birmingham, it was something quite d【1】.

His hiccups began one Sunday lunchtime and 【2】 (continue) day and night for two weeks. After the first week, Harry’s parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure (治疗) his attack.

Harry, who is now back at school, described what h【3】 to him. “When I began to h【4】, I drank a glass of water but that didn’t do any good. That evening I had hiccups every four seconds.

After a week of 【7】 (sleep) nights, he went to hospital. The doctors took an X-ray of his chest but they 【8】 (can) find anything wrong. “They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped.” Harry was very lucky.
