21、Rabbit Shiny and tortoise(乌龟) Smily were neighbours. One day they were reading a story about their great grandfathers: Shiny’s and Smily’s great grandfathers decided to have a race. While Shiny’s great grandfather went to sleep during the race, Smily’s great grandfather won the race by slowly walking towards the finish line.

Smily said, “If your great grandfather didn’t go to sleep, my great granddad might never win. So his win was not a real win.”

The next day there was a notice in the jungle(丛林) newspaper. It said that there would be a race and the winner would win many prizes. The race started from the bear’s house. From there, the runners had to cross the river. But most of the animals could not both run fast and swim fast. So they didn’t know what to do. Shiny and Smily made a plan.

Shiny ran, while smily was sitting on his back. He and other animals, like the deer, reached the river side at the same time. But they saw the swift water and stood there because they were worried. None of them liked the idea of crossing the river. Smily quickly got into the water and Shiny sat on his back. Smily started swimming. Soon they reached the other side of the river. Shiny got down from Smily’s back and Smily climbed on Shiny’s back again. Shiny ran fast. They reached the finish line first.

“Both of them are the winners.” The president of the jungle said, “Shiny and Smily helped each other during the race and they won. So let’s give them a big hand.”

22、If you ask most people about the desert, they might describe sand and rocks and an occasional shrub. Arches National Park in Utah shows a different scene. Visitors to Arches are shocked by the life and color in the desert. Wildflowers and other desert plants are a bright contrast to the red rock.

Of course, the park is most famous for its wonderful landforms. More than 2,000 natural arches have been discovered in the park. Some of these rock formations are free standing, forming graceful curves against cloudless skies. Others come out from canyon walls and rocky cliffs.

These desert arches were created over the course of 100 million years, as wind and water slowly wore away the rock. Although the arches took millions of years to form, it takes only seconds to lose an arch forever. In 1991, Landscape Arch, the park’s largest arch, lost a slab of rock 60 feet long. The arch still stands, but it is now much more fragile. In 2008, the bridge of another famous arch, Wall Arch, collapsed completely. Located along a popular trail, the 71-foot arch finally gave way to the forces of gravity and erosion.

In the beauty of this desert park, paved roads and cars are the only interruption to the natural scene. But these modern conveniences make it possible for people to enjoy nature’s spectacular work while it still exists.

【1】Why does the author think that park visitors are surprised by what they see?

A．It took such a long time for the arches to form.

B．For a desert, it has a lot of life and color.

C．Some of the arches have collapsed.

D．The park has modern conveniences.

【2】What is Arches National Park best known for?

A．The shape of the rock formations.

B．Flowering plants.

C．Paved roads.

D．Cloudless skies.

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．All deserts are dry, empty, dead places.

B．Arches National Park is a dangerous place.

C．Some forces of nature act slowly while others are fast.

D．Cars and other modern conveniences are harmful to the desert.

【4】What makes the arches fragile, or easy to break?

A．The desert heat.

B．Pollution from cars.

C．The force of gravity.

D．The dry climate.

23、As prices and building costs keep going up, the do-it-yourself (DIY）trend (趋势） in the U.S. goes on growing.

“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “And we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decide to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married(结婚) six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are working hard to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.

Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory(工厂). Last month, he got a car repair bill(账单) for $420. “I was quite worried about it. Now I've finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”

John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so that they can fight with the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it -yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

【1】John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to _______.

A. run a DIY shop   B. make or repair things

C. save time and money D. make their life better

B. the car repair class was not helpful

C. he could not possibly do two jobs

D. he had to feed the children all by himself

【4】What would be the best title for this passage?

C. Welcome to Our DIY course!   D. Ross and Hatfield: Believe in DIY.
