21、A story tells of a businessman in a small town who had twin sons. The boys worked for their father in the store he owned, and when he died, they took over the store.

Everything went well until the day a dollar bill disappeared. One of the brothers had left the bill on the cash register（收银机）and walked outside with a customer. When he returned, the money was gone. He asked his brother, “Did you see that dollar bill on the cash register?” His brother replied that he hadn’t. But the young man kept questioning. “Dollar bills just don’t get up and walk away! Surely you must have seen it!”

There was a little of anger in his voice. Resentment（怨恨）set in and it divided（使……分歧）the young men. They finally decided they could no longer work together and they built a wall in the center of the store. For twenty years anger grew, spreading to their family.

Then one day a man in a car stopped in front of the store. He walked in and asked the clerk, “How long have you been here?” The clerk replied that he’d been there all his life. The customer said, “I must share something with you. Twenty years ago, I came into this town. I hadn’t eaten for three days. I came into this store from the back door and saw a dollar bill on the cash register. I put it in my pocket and walked out. All these years I haven’t been able to forget that. I know it wasn’t much money, but I had to come back and ask your forgiveness.”

The stranger was amazed to see tears well up in the eyes of this middle-aged man. “Would you please go next door and tell that same story to the man in the store?” he said. Then the man was even more amazed to see two middle-aged men, who looked very much alike, hugging each other and weeping together in the front of the store.

22、

Taking away a city’s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.

In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump(垃圾堆).Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage (排污) system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets(厕所), bathtubs and other places.

To keep mice(老鼠) and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.

In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal(金属). The metal can be reused and recycled. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles(堆) where they slowly change into something called humus, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow.

【1】The passage is mostly about _____________.

A.environment B.travel C.history D.education

【2】How can we keep the mice and flies away?

23、   Money is what people use to buy things they need or want. A long time ago, people didn't use money. So how did they get the things they wanted? Well, there is a long and interesting story about this.

At first, they would exchange something they had for something they needed. For example, if the shoemaker needed some bread, he would give the baker shoes and the baker would give him bread. This was called "bartering". Bartering worked fine for a while. But after the baker had too many shoes, the shoemaker still needed more bread. What could they do? The solution to this problem was money.

Money is basically an agreement among people. People agree that some metal or paper will be worth a certain amount of bread or a certain number of shoes. There were many earlier forms of money, such as cattle, salt, grain（谷物）and shells. But it was not easy to move them or store them.

So coins began to take the place of things. Coins had a set value and could be stored long. A coin says right on it how much it is worth. Different coins are worth different amounts. It became possible for people to trade in a standardized（标准）way.

About three hundred years ago, paper money came into wider use. Paper money is cheaper to make than coins. It is also easier to carry around. Now people use paper money and coins in most countries. We call these kinds of money cash.

Cash has been popular for hundreds of years. But these days, things seem to have changed. Cashless payment（无现金支付）has come into our lives and changed our world.

China was the first country in the world to use paper money. Now, centuries later, analysts（分析家）believe that China may soon become the first cashless society. Cashless payment apps such as Alipay and WeChat Pay are becoming more common in China. The buyer just scans（扫描）the quick-respond code（二维码）of the seller, or the other way around. Then they can get the things they want. No physical money is needed in this process. Is tomorrow already here?

【1】Which is the correct order of the development of money?

①Coins

②Bartering

③Paper money

④Cashless payment

⑤Cattle, grain and shells

A.②⑤①③④ B.⑤③②①④ C.②⑤①④③ D.⑤④③②①

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Coins are the earliest form of money in the world.

B.People cannot buy things by showing the quick-respond code.

C.Both coins and paper money are very popular around the world.

D.Paper money costs more to make than coins because they are worth more.

【3】What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A.China is the first cashless country in the world.

B.People will start using cashless payment tomorrow.

C.People won't use any physical money in the future.

D.Cashless payment is the new stage of money development.

24、   Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code（二维码）. “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate（使产生）the codes, and in the end everything gets easier. ”Said Guo. “When students finish the homework, they keep in on WeChat（微信）. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone.”

The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans（扫描）his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative（创新的）, with many pictures, music and even videos.

Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun. ”said Tingting, “The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share, ”Guo said. “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fill behind the times.”

However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it is unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.

【1】According to the passage, students can keep their homework on ___________.

A．WeChat

B．QQ

C．email

D．blog（博客）

【2】Guo’s students think the new way is ___________.

C．Trying to use new technology in education.

D．Education itself is a kind of creation.

【4】Some parents are worried, because they think their children will ___________.

A．talk with teachers face to face

B．find the QR codes too difficult to use

C．not like the new way of handing in homework

D．spend too much time on computers or phones

25、 词语运用。

Once upon a time, there was a man called Zheng. He lived in a small town. One day he wanted to buy himself 【1】 new pair of shoes. He measured (测量) his 【2】 (foot) with a ruler and then 【3】 (write)down his size on a piece of paper. After that he went shoe shopping.

When he arrived 【4】 the shoe shop, he reached into his pocket (口袋), b 【5】 he found the paper was not there. So he said to the shop 【6】 (keep), “I have left the paper at home and I don’t know the size. I’ll go back home to get it.” With these words, he ran out of the shop.

He ran back home, found the paper and then ran to the shop again. But it took him a few 【7】 (hour) and the shop was 【8】 (close). He spent the afternoon on the way and did not buy his shoes at last. Someone asked him, “Did you want to buy the shoes for 【9】 (you)?”

“Of course,” he answered.

“Then why don’t you t【10】 on the shoes by yourself?”

“I trust the ruler more than my feet.” he answered.
