21、   First published in 2001, the book Life of Pi written by Canadian author Yann Martel won the Man Booker Prize and an Asian American Prize for Literature. It is the story of a young boy named Pi who spends 227 days at sea with a small group of animals after disaster strikes their ship and is an account of his journey of survival and hardship.

Piscine (“Pi” is short for Piscine) Molitor Patel, on whom Life of Pi is based, is a young boy living in Pondicherry, India, where his father owns a zoo. The story starts when Patel's family decide to move to Canada, along with their zoo animals for their new home.

However, because of the bad weather, the ship sinks. Pi, an orangutan(猩猩), an injured zebra, a hyena(鬣狗) and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker are the only survivors who take shelter in a small lifeboat. Both the injured zebra and the orangutan are soon killed and eaten by the hyena. The tiger in turn kills and eats the hyena, leaving just the two of them alone on the boat now.

In an effort to avoid being eaten by Richard Parker, Pi acts himself as the head of the group and remains safe from harm. Since he does not want the tiger to die for fear of going mad by being alone on the boat, he fishes and feeds the two of them in order to stay alive.

The life of Pi then enters its third stage when their lifeboat washes up on the shores of Mexico and the tiger escapes into a nearby forest leaving Pi alone. After the Mexicans refuse to believe Pi's story, he changes his story by replacing the animals with his mother, a cook and a sailor and asks the Mexicans which one they prefer. They prefer hearing the first story though they do not believe a word of it.

In my view, Life of Pi is a must read book for all those who love reading.

22、阅读理解

Nine years ago, after Leo had died, people said to me. "I never knew he was your stepfather." You see, I never called him that. At first, he was no one special in my life. Then he became my friend. In time, I felt he was also my father.

Leo married my mother when I was eleven. Two years later we moved into a house in a new suburban development, where we put down roots. At first our lawn was just a mud with wild grass, but Leo saw bright possibilities. "We'll plant trees there to give us shade as well as some flowers," he said. And just these little touches made our house different from all the others. More important, a real family was forming. Leo was becoming a full-time parent, and I was learning what it meant to have a father.

Weekday mornings when the weather was bad, Leo often drove me to school. Having a father drop you off may have been something my classmates took for granted, but I always thought it was wonderful. Saturday mornings, we went to the hardware (计算机硬件) shop, then stepped into the five-and-ten, buying a sports magazine or something else. Some people might think that doing shopping together is nothing special, but I, who had ever before spent my childhood watching other families do their everyday activities, experienced them now with extreme delight. Looking back, I realized that Leo gave me what I needed most—the experience of doing ordinary things together as a family.

Soon after we moved to the suburbs, one of our new neighbors introduced herself to me. She had already met my mother and Leo. "You know," she said, "you look just like your father." I knew she was just making a conversation--but even so... "Thank you", I said. Why tell her anything different?

【1】The writer's purpose in writing this passage is _______.

A．to show his pride to have a good stepfather

B．to show how interesting a person Leo was

C．to remind us of our parents

D．to explain why they moved to the suburbs

【2】The phrase “put down roots”in the second paragraph means

A．farmed    B．contacted

C．settled D．accommodated

【3】In the writer's opinion, _______.

A．it is not easy to live with a stepfather

B．not all the stepfathers are as good as Leo

C．the husband and wife must think more about their children before they divorce

D．in step families the love and friendship are extremely precious

【4】The last sentence “Why tell her anything different?”means that   .

A．he should have told the truth

B．he wouldn't tell her the truth

C．he wanted to tell her something that had nothing to do with Leo

D．he wanted to keep silence whenever he met the neighbors

23、Today, about 10% of the world's population are left-handed. Archeological evidence shows that it's been that way for as long as 500, 000 years, with about 10% of human remains showing the associated differences in arm length and bone density (密度), and some ancient tools and artifacts showing evidence of left-hand use.

A recent mathematical model suggests that the actual rate of handedness reflects a balance between competitive and cooperative pressures on human evolution.

The benefits of being left-handed are clearest in activities involving an opponent, like combat (格斗) or competitive sports. For example, about 50％ of top hitters in baseball have been lefthanded. Why? Because lefties are a minority to begin with, both right-handed and left-handed competitors will spend most of their time encountering and practicing against righties. So when the two face each other, the left-hander will more probably win this right-handed opponent.

The imbalance in the population results in an advantage for left-handed fighters or athletes, but according to the principles of evolution, groups that have a relative advantage disappears. If people were only fighting and competing throughout human evolution, natural selection would lead to more lefties being the ones that survived until there were so many of them that they were no longer rare.

So in a purely competitive world, 50% of the population would be left-handed. But human evolution has been shaped by cooperation, as well as competition. In golf, where performance doesn't depend on the opponent, only 4% of top players are left-handed. And many of the important instruments (器械) that have shaped society were designed for the right-handed majority Because lefties are worse at using these tools, and suffer from higher accident rates, they would be less successful in a purely cooperative world, eventually disappearing from the population.

【1】What influences the actual rate of handedness according to the text?

A．The total population in the area.

B．The instruments in human's life.

C．Human's arm length and bone density.

D．Competitive and cooperative pressures.

【2】Why do lefties benefit more in competitive sports?

A．Because they practise harder.

B．Because they are better prepared.

C．Because their opponents are righties.

D．Because half of the athletes are lefties.

【3】What can we infer about lefties from the text?

A．Left-hand use is natural.

B．Lefties win more in sports.

C．Handedness changes easily.

D．Lefties don't like cooperation.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Are the Left-handed More Popular?

B．How the Left-handed Benefit More?

C．Will Lefties Disappear in the Future?

D．Why Are Some People Left-handed?

24、   When you go to a new school, you might worry that you don't know anyone or that you won't fit in. 【1】

Learn how to introduce yourself. Starting a conversation with someone new can be difficult, especially if you feel shy. Once you break the ice, however, you may find yourself in the middle of a bunch of friends. Choose someone to introduce yourself to. 【2】 And then talk about something related to school, such as, “When is the homework due?”【3】 Go to a park in the school neighborhood before school starts and maybe you can meet someone from your new school. If you make a new friend or two in advance, you won't feel so alone when you go to the first day of school.

Participate in activities. Sign up for activities like sports or chess club. This will put you into smaller groups with people who have similar interests as yours. 【4】 You might even be able to teach some other kids about how to do something.

Set goals for yourself. By setting goals for yourself every day or every week, you can see how you are adjusting lo your new school in very real ways. For example, you can say, “【5】 .” Or you will plan to attend one club meeting this week.
