21、   Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. Last year, he taught his students about the world's rain forests. They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.

Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America. They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.

So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles, In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest. “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us," one of the students said.“It was a great learning experience for all of us," said Myers.

Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.

Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.

【1】How much did Myers’ students pay for the rain forest they bought?

A.$25. B.$75. C.$80. D.$2000

【2】The word “Destruction” in paragraph 2 probably means “the process of being________”.

A.destroyed B.developed C.described D.discovered.

【3】When the monkeys saw Myers and his students, they________.

C.jumped off the trees D.left the rain forest

【4】The passage mainly shows that Myers and his students________.

A.did something to protect rain forest.

B.wanted to buy the rain forest in Costa Rica.

C.were interested in the culture of Costa Rica.

D.went to the rain forest for various fun activities.

22、   People read books less often these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are still an important part of our lives.

Books offer the outstanding wealth of learning and at a much lower price than taking a course. Books can make people much cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people are.

Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone may not understand them and become very sick or even die.Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could as become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.

Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our reading abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time. With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives. So I think people should read books.

【1】What activity is less popular these days than before?

A.Reading a hook. B.Listening to the radio:

C.Watching TV. D.Surfing the Internet.

【2】We can learn from the second paragraph that_____

A.reading can make your memory better B.reading can make you interesting and attractive

A.walking in the city also needs reading skills B.driving along the road is dangerous

A.People should enjoy themselves B.How we improve reading skills

23、We are all busy talking about and using the Internet ,but how many of us know about the history of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s.At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks(网络)didn’ t work well .If one computer in the network broke down ,then the whole network stopped. So a new network system(系统) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers.If part of the network was not working ,information could be sent through another part.In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first,the Internet was only used by the government ,but,in the early 1970s, universities,hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too.

24、阅读理解填词

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge (判断) things too quickly. So he s【1】 them to go and watch a pear tree that was far away. The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the fourth son in autumn.

When they had all come back, he called them together to d【2】  what they had seen. The

first son said that the tree was ugly and there was nothing in it. The second son said no—green' buds (花蕾) c【3】 the tree and it was full of promise .The third son had different ideas .he said it was f【4】 with flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful. The last son d【5】 with all of them, he said it was ripe(成熟) and there there was a lot of f【6】, life and harvest.

The man then told his sons that they were all right, but they had each seen one s【7】of the

thing. He told that they cannot judge a tree, or a person by only one season and they can only be

judged at the e【8】, when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the h【9】 of your spring, the beauty of your summer and the harvest of your autumn. Don't let the sadness of one season b【10】 the happiness of the rest. Judge after you know enough about that !
