21、 Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants. Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it means something that is not yet finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has little experience as he is new to a situation. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today — a person who is new in a job.
About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the west of America. People used it to describe a man if he came from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didn’t have the skills to live in the hard country. Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). This comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. The Green Revolution is the name given to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains some years ago. It was the result of hard work by scientists who had green thumbs. Green is also the color used to describe the feeling — Jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster(怪兽) is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play Othello. It means the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants to get. In most places in the world, the color green is one of the traffic lights. Green has so many different meanings that we should know more to understand it better.
【1】A new soldier was called a greenhorn in the _________ century.
A.15th B.16th C.18th D.20th
【2】A person with a green thumb _________.
A.is good at growing plants B.really has a green thumb

【3】A man may meet the green-eyed monster if _________.
A.he sees a dangerous animal B.he can’t buy something
C.he reads a sad story D.his friend gets a gift that he wants
【4】This passage mentions(提及) the following EXCEPT “_________”.
A.a green job B.a greenhorn C.a green thumb D.a green-eyed monster
【5】Which would be the best title of the passage?
A.Green, the Color of Grass and Trees B.Green, Making Plants Grow Quickly
C.Green, One of Traffic Lights D.Green, with Different Meanings
22、A French has just launched a bottled red wine flavored with cola.
Bordeaux-based winemaker Haussmann has already had success with grapefruit and passionfruit-flavored red wine and white wine. Their newest wine, Rouge Sucette, which translates to Red Lollipop, is made from 75 percent grapes and 25 percent water, with added sugar and cola flavoring. It is meant to be served chilled.
Why the break with tradition?
Wine sales in France is down. In 1980, more than half of adults bought wine almost daily, but the number has dropped to just 17 percent today. And so according to Pauline, company spokeswoman for Haussmann, wine makers need to attract younger drinkers and women.
“The cola flavor is to answer to a new kind of need and a market demand,” she tells us, “Tastes develop in time and we have to adapt.”
French restaurant expert Fred gives several factors behind the downward trend in wine drinking among the French: the financial crisis, which brought with it the death of the long lunch hour; reduced legal limits for driving under the influence of alcohol; and a general move towards healthier living.
Cola wine may seem out of step with French ways, but that’s because a lot of people have the wrong idea about what those ways really are.
Pauline says. “We’re changing with the times. We have a strong foundation of food and wine.” Of the different aromas that Haussamann tested, “cola was the best mix,” she says. “That made many people interested, and they were curious to taste it.”
The thirst for sweeter drinks isn’t limited to France. “Think about it,” says Fred, “You have all sorts of champagne cocktails. So what’s the difference between those and red wine and Coca-Cola? It’s about marketing.” Pauline insists Rouge Sucette isn’t just wine mixed with cola, anyway. It contains only the essence of cola, making it perhaps a bit more refined, though with a very similar flavor.
So how does a Frenchman like Fred think about it?
“It’s refreshing and kind of fun,” he says. “I don’t think I would buy it, but if I was going to drink it, I would make it myself, because I would feel a bit better about it.”
【1】“Rouge Sucette” is also named as “_________”.
A.passionfruit-flavored red wine
B.white wine
C.Red Lollipop
D.chilled wine
【2】The newest wine produced by Haussmann is made from __________.
A.sugar and cola
B.passion fruit and grape fruit
C.cola and passion fruit
D.grapes and water
【3】The company spokeswoman, Pauline explained that they had to adapt because _________.
A.half of adults bought wine
B.17 percent of customers are young drinkers
C.they need to attract younger people
D.the cola flavor can’t be accepted any longer
【4】According to the passage, _________ is one of the reasons that led to the disappearance of the long lunch hour.
A.the downward sales in wine
B.the taste development
C.the influence of alcohol
D.the financial crisis
【5】In Pauline’s opinion, Rough Sucette __________.
A.is out of step with French ways
B.is one of the champagne cocktails
C.isn’t just wine mixed with cola
D.isn’t different from other wines
【6】The underlined words from Fred probably indicated(表明) that _________.
A.the new kind of wine won’t be popular
B.the new kind of wine won’t help wine makers pass the financial crisis
C.the cola flavor is no longer popular
D.the cola flavored wine is harmful to health
23、 I was walking around in a store. I saw a cashier(收银员) hand a little boy his money back, saying, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll." I walked towards him and asked him who the doll was for.
"It's the doll that my sister wanted most for Christmas," he said. I told him that maybe Father Christmas would bring it to her and that he shouldn't worry. He sadly replied, "No. Father Christmas can't bring it to her. I have to give the doll to my mom so that she can give it to my sister when she joins her."
His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mom is going to see God very soon too, so I think that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister."
My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and suggested that we count the money again. "Okay," he said. "I hope that I have enough." I added some of my money to his without letting him see and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money left. "Thank you, God, for giving me enough money!" the little boy said.
I left the store, feeling as if my life had been changed forever.
