21、Every society has its own ways of saying things. One popular expression in the United States is “hitting the books”. It means studying a subject with great effort（努力）.

A student who hits the books spends long hours preparing for a test. They read their books carefully, and then read them a second time, and a third time. They make sure they know all the material the teacher has offered and prepare for every possible answer. They study every night. They are “hitting the books”.

In the United States, most children begin school when they are five years old. Public education is free and most children go to school near their homes. School in these early years is fun. The children learn to read and write. But they also play games and go on trips. There is no reason at such an early age for them to hit the books.

This situation changes as children become older. The subjects become more difficult. Students must learn world history, math, and the life sciences. Tests become more common. Pressure（压力）is growing for the students to hit the books, study hard and advance（提前）.

However, most serious students only really begin hitting the books for long hours when they reach high school.

High school students who hope to go on a college must take a national test called the SAT. The test has two parts. The first part tests the students’ ability with numbers and mathematical skills. The second part tests the students’ ability in the English language.

The SAT test is very important. A high school student who gets a high score on the two parts of the test has a good chance to enter a top American college. For this reason, many students hit the books for months to prepare for the SAT.

All this adds up to a lot of work and “hitting the books”. Knowledge is something that is not easy to get.

【1】What does “hit the books” mean?

A．Hate the books very much.

B．Sell the books to new students.

C．Study a subject with great effort.

D．Beat the books with something.

【2】Children at their early age ________ in school in the United States.

A．hit the books.

B．learn with fun.

C．study hard and advance.

D．only play computer games.

【3】Which of the following statements is true about the SAT test?

A．It is only held in certain parts of the country

B．It also tests the students’ knowledge on the life sciences.

C．It is not good because the students have to hit the books.

D．It helps in deciding whether the students can go to good universities.

【4】In which of the following situations would a student probably hit the books?

A．At the start of a new term.

B．After a test.

C．At the end of a term.

D．At an early age.

23、There was once a company in the United States that announced (宣布) that it would offer a large amount of money to anyone who could find a white marigold (金盏花). Most marigolds are either gold or brown. It is very hard to find a white one.

Twenty years later the company received a letter from an old woman. She sent 100 white marigold seeds along with the letter.

The woman was a fan of flowers. When she first heard the company’s announcement 20 years ago, she got very excited. She thought she could grow her own white marigolds. But her children doubted her. She knew nothing about seed genetics (遗传学), after all. So her dream of growing white marigolds was just that—a dream.

Still, she worked to make it happen. She planted some common marigold seeds and took good care of them. A year later, when the marigolds bloomed, she chose one of the lightly-colored flowers and took its seeds. She planted these seeds and waited another year for them to bloom (开花).

Day after day, year after year, because of many reasons, her life changed. Her husband died, her children moved away, and many other things happened. But her desire to grow white marigolds remained strong in her heart.

Finally, after 20 years, she went out to ber garden and found a marigold that was not just white—it was as white as the purest snow.

【1】What colors are most marigolds?

A．Gold and brown.

B．Brown and yellow.

C．White and red.

D．Red and gold.

【2】How did the woman feel when she heard the company’s announcement?

A．Bored.

B．Surprised.

C．Excited.

D．Sad.

【3】Which sentence is TRUE?

A．The company was in the UK.

B．The company received a letter with 50 seeds.

C．The woman didn’t know seed genetics at all.

D．The woman still lived with her children.

【4】What did the woman’s family think of her decision?

A．Her husband stopped her from growing flowers.

B．Her children didn’t believe in her.

C．They helped her learn seed genetics.

D．They studied marigolds themselves.

【5】What do Paragraphs 5 and 6 mainly tell us?

A．The woman never gave up her dream although her life changed.

B．The woman was so sad that she had no hope.

C．The woman cared about money more than her family.

D．It was easy for the woman to make her dream come true.

24、阅读下面短文，在空格处填入一个适当的词或者使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。 

Counting before numbers

Before the invention of written numbers, people used many different ways 【1】 count things.

At first, people used 【2】 (they) fingers, and even their toes. 【3】, they could only count small numbers in this way.

After that, they began to make small 【4】 (mark) on sticks and bones. This helped them count 【5】 (big) numbers. They used them to count things 【6】 the days of month, the amount of food and the number of animals they had.

Then people began to use tokens made from clay 【7】 small stones. This helped them count even bigger numbers. They often put the tokens on pieces of string so that they could carry them around 【8】 (easy). This developed into tools like the abacus.

Finally, people began to develop systems of 【9】 (write) marks to show different numbers, and this 【10】 (lead) to the Hindu-Arabic system (0-9). We are still using this system today.
