21、 How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in their useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities for them to make a living. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What's more, life is always giving new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too common for them. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society just as he used to break the rules of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
【1】According to paragraph 2, the writer thinks that ______________.
A. life for a child is fairly easy
B. only children are interested in life
C. a child is always loved whatever he does
D. if much is given to a child, he must do something to pay back
【2】A young man ___________ if he expects to live in the way he wants.
A. should lose his heart to his work
B. should try to keep out of trouble
C. should spend most of his time enjoying himself
D. should build up his own position in society for himself
【3】The main idea of the passage is that ______________.
A. children's time is the most enjoyable in one's life
B. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
C. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
D. one can enjoy what each age gives him though there are some pains
22、High school is difficult for everyone. You are going through an awkward time and you may either fit in right away or feel like a complete outcast. But no matter how well you may fit in (or not), joining a club will be good for you in the short term and long term.
Joining a club is a great way to meet new people, especially if you are new to the school. Joining a club forces you to communicate with people who have similar interests as you. Even if you are the shyest and quietest person, you are sure to develop a relationship with at least one person in the club that you decide to join. Speaking from personal experience, I have met some of my best friends from my after-school activities and had many new doors open to me.
Another really nice thing about joining a club is that doing activities looks good on college applications (申请). Being known as outgoing is a highly valued trait (特质); it shows that you are willing to put yourself out there, be determined (意志坚定的), and best of all try new things. Another nice thing is that (depending on the activity) it could help you develop skills that you could use during a college interview.
Productivity is something that teens seem to continuously have a problem with. Most teens go to school and then come home and spend the rest of the day in front of the television or phone, but activities prohibit (阻止) this. Teens are also very easy to influence and if they fall into the wrong group of people they could fall into consequences such as problems with the law. Clubs are a great place to spend time and be with good people who you can fall back on if you need them.
Maybe the most important reason why you should join a club is the long-term benefit (益处) it brings. The classroom isn’t the only learning environment in a school. Things such as meeting and speaking to new people, keeping an eye on the time, and being organized are things you will use every single day of your life.
【1】What might the underlined word “outcast” in paragraph 1 mean?

A.The number of clubs you have joined.

A.Increasing knowledge.
B.Learning teamworking skills.
C.Improving your fitness level.
D.Making good use of your time.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.What club should you join?

23、Leonardo Da Vinci is most famous for his paintings, especially the Mona Lisa. The woman in the painting is best-known for her mysterious smile. But who was she?
Experts say she was Lisa di Antonio Maria di Noldo Gherardini, the third wife of a nobleman (贵族) from Florence. He invited Leonardo to paint the portrait (肖像画). Leonardo started to work on this painting in 1503. At this time "Mona Lisa" was 24 years old. He worked on the portrait for the next four years. However, Leonardo didn’t sell the painting; and when he left Florence in 1507, he kept it for himself. Why? Several believe it was because he had never managed to finish it on time, while others say he had fallen in love with the painting.
The Mona Lisa spent the next few hundred years traveling around the world. Leonardo finally sold the painting to King Francis I of France, who put it in his castle at Amboise. After the French revolution, the painting ended up in the Louvre. Napoleon took it away from there and hung it up in his bedroom. When Napoleon was driven away, the Mona Lisa returned once again to the Louvre. On 21 st August, 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen by an Italian thief, who took the painting to Italy. It appeared two years later in Florence and was taken back to the Louvre. An acid (酸) attack in 1956 damaged the lower half of the painting, and the repair work took several years. In the 60s and 70s, the Mona Lisa was on show in New York, Tokyo and Moscow.
Today the painting is behind bullet-proof glass in the Louvre once again, and is no longer allowed to travel. Her journeys are over.
【1】What can we learn about the Mona Lisa from paragraph two?
A.Leonardo Da Vinci finished the painting when he was 24 years old.
B.Leonardo Da Vinci kept the painting for himself due to his love for it.
C.It was probably a portrait of the young wife of a nobleman from Florence.
D.A young woman from Florence asked Leonardo Da Vinci to draw the painting.
【2】What happened to the Mona Lisa after Leonardo finally sold it?
A.It was sent to the Louvre immediately after that.
B.An acid attack took people two years to repair it.
C.Napoleon once took it from the Louvre for himself.
D.It has been on show around the world since the 1960s.
【3】The passage is probably taken from ________.
A.a magazine
B.a news report
C.a travel brochure
D.a science book
24、What a Scientist Is Like
If you were asked to imagine a scientist,what image(形象)would come to your mind?The common idea that most kids from kindergarten through college have of a scientist is a man wearing a white lab coat with messy hair, big glasses,and several glass cups of mysterious colorful liquids giving off clouds of smoke.As for adults,the majority view scientists as strange people who spend 100 hours a week slaving away in a lonely laboratory.However, the reality is quite different.
Recently I’ve had a chance to take part in a scientific experience far from my laboratory and into Costa Rica.It supports a huge amount of wildlife due to its geographical placement between North and South America.It is home to more than 500,000 species,which represents nearly 4% of the total species worldwide!
First we worked alongside conservationists to preserve wildlife at a leatherback turtle(棱皮龟)rescue center. We helped the volunteers preserve turtle populations by removing rubbish from the shoreline to create a safe environment for turtle eggs to come out.After that we stayed at Mount Arenal where we studied seismic activity relating to earthquakes.During our stay at Arenal,we rode over the mountainous areas and took a long walk through the rainforest.After reaching the top,we went down and through waterfalls to the beautiful valley below!On the last day we got a hands-on introduction to rocket science where we learned about new rocket technology that will be used on the international space station.
During my Costa Rica experience,I know that being a scientist doesn’t mean working in a lab all day and night. A scientist is one who loves learning and getting a better understanding of the world from helping preserve wild-life, learning about earthquakes or inventing rockets.I think that schools should really stress that science is so much more than wearing a lab coat and mixing chemicals.Kids need to be aware of the excitement and adventures science can bring!
【1】According to the first paragraph,scientists are often believed .
A.to work as slaves
B.to behave in a strange way
C.to spend too much time in labs
D.to do experiments in messy labs
【2】The author helped to preserve the turtle population by .
A.creating a safe nest for turtles
B.picking up rubbish on the shoreline
C.collecting the turtle eggs on the beach
D.finding a comfortable environment for turtles
【3】What does the author learn about science from his experience?
A.Science is full of boring experiments.
B.Science is more than working in a lab.
C.Science is related to mysterious liquids.
D.Science is about wildlife and earthquakes.
【4】Why does the author write this passage?
A.To encourage kids to study science.
B.To tell the story of traveling in Costa Rica.
C.To expect more people to travel in Costa Rica.
D.To share the secrets behind science phenomena.
