21、William Kamkwamba lives in Malawi, Africa, where most people have to grow their own food and have no electricity or running water. In 2001, when he was 14 years old, there was a terrible drought(干旱) and most families, including William’s, couldn’t grow enough food.

Because of the drought, William’s family couldn’t afford to send him to school anymore. So one day, William went to the library near his home to study. He found a science book called Using Energy, which included instructions for building a windmill(风车). Windmills are good sources of electricity, and they can bring water up from underground. William didn’t know much English, and he wasn’t able to understand most of the book, but it was full of pictures. Looking at the pictures, William thought he could build a windmill for his family.

When William started building his windmill, a lot of people laughed at him, including his mother. But William saw the photo of the windmill in the book. That meant someone else was able to build it, so he knew he could build it, too. He didn’t have the parts and equipment that he saw in the book’s pictures. So he looked for parts in junkyards to build his machine.

William changed his design little by little. First, the windmill powered only one light bulb(灯泡). Finally, it powered four lights. Then there was enough electricity for four lights and a radio. No one laughed at William after that, and people in his town started to come to his house to get power for their cell phones. Later, William built a second windmill. This one brought water up from underground. After that, William began to teach other people how to build windmills.

Now he uses his website, movingwindmills.org, to educate and give hope to people. His main message is this: “To the Africans and the poor who are striving for your dreams, trust yourself and believe. Whatever happens, don’t give up.”

【1】What was William’s primary purpose of building a windmill?

A．To set up a family business.

B．To bring electricity to his family.

C．To realize his childhood dream.

D．To do a science experiment.

【2】Which of the following can best describe William?

A．Strong-minded.

B．Courageous.

C．Honest.

D．Humorous.

【3】What can we learn about William’s first windmill?

A．It was sold at a high price.

B．It was made of thrown-away things.

C．It could bring water up from underground.

D．It looked the same as the photo in using Energy.

【4】Which word can replace the underlined word “striving” in the last Paragraph 2?

A．hoping.

B．weeping.

C．struggling.

D．cheering

22、Thank-You Notes: The Important Life Lessons

There is no greater gift for any of us to give our friends and family than the gift of thanks.

【1】 Take a quiet moment to think about the blessings of the season and write a thank-you note to everyone who made it special for you. There are some life lessons from thank-you notes.

【2】 Even a child can make some lines on paper, help pick out a pretty stamp, and lick the envelope. This helps create a sense of ownership, confidence, and contribution.

Thank-you notes improve communication skills. Wherever you are, no skill is more important than the ability to communicate clearly, sincerely and thoughtfully. 【3】 Those are the qualities (品德) that encourage people to trust and respect you.

Thank-you notes remind you about what is important. Maybe the gift is thoughtless. But when we write a thank-you note we have to show within ourselves some way to be thankful and find some way to express it. We do not find happiness in what we get. 【4】

【5】 Not “Thanks for the sweater,” but “Thank you for the sweater. It is cool.” Not “Thanks for the game,” but “We had fun playing that game.”

I think you will soon discover that the more thank-you notes you send, the more you become aware of how much there is to be grateful for, and how good it feels to let people know you appreciate them.

A．Everyone can write a thank-you note.

B．And that can begin with thank-you notes.

C．Thank-you notes must have clear and direct details.

D．There is no other way to express this message.

E．You can even write to people you do not know.

F．We find happiness in being thankful for what we have.

G．It shows your growing up, reliability, confidence and thoughtfulness.

24、   The common cold is the world’s most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths(神话) about it than any of the other illnesses.

The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected(感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mails dropped from airplanes.

At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused(浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping（滴干 ）wet in drafty（通风的） rooms. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion．Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.

If cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? In spite of the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.

No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.

【1】The fact that the Eskimos don’t suffer colds shows that .

A.colds are really full of myths.

B.viruses are the factors causing colds.

C.colds are more severe than other illnesses.

D.the idea that cold leads to colds doesn’t stand up.

【2】The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 made it clear that   .

A.being doused with cold water did harm to one’s body.

B.taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired.

C.it was viruses not wet and cold that made people have colds.

D.people who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily.

【3】According to the passage, colds are commonly seen in winter because   .

A.there is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature.

B.viruses can go into people’s warm bodies more easily in winter.

C.staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass on.

D.people are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter.

25、The world always makes way for the dreamer

I thought to myself I could do this, so I begged my mother to let me send for the kit (卡片盒). Two weeks later when the kit arrived, I took the cards and ran out of the house. Three hours later, I returned home with no ______ and a pocket full of money. A ______ was born.
