22、   In the universe, there is the sun, the moon, the earth and many stars. Through our geography lessons, we know the earth goes around the sun, and the moon goes around the earth. We have day and night because the earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is night.

Just because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, it looks much bigger than the sun. Big things will look smaller when they are further, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer.

The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually (事实上) the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon also because they are further away from the earth.

23、阅读下面三篇材料，根据材料内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I arrived at my mother’s home for our Saturday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt after quilt from the boxes， proudly showing me their beauties. I knew they were all made herself. She was preparing for a quilt show on TV. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes， I noticed something at the bottom of one box.I pulled it out. “What’s this?” I asked.

“Oh?” Mom said， “That’s Mama’s quilt.”

I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had made the pieces together.

“Grandmother made this?” I asked in surprise. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn’t look like any of the quilts she had made.

“Yes， right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes，” Mom said， “I’m still working on it. See， this is what I’ve done so far.”

I looked at it more closely. She had made a line straight(直的). At the center of the quilt， she had stitched a piece of cloth with these words： “My mother made many quilts. She didn’t get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”

“Oh， this is so nice， Mom.” I said. I was sure now that by completing my grandmother’s quilt， my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman， and continued with the loving hands of another.

24、Working as a volunteer gives you a chance(机会)to change people’s lives. If you’d like to help but don’t have much money, you had better give away your free time.

Now more and more people, especially young people, would like to join in volunteer activities in their free time. Being a volunteer means giving up your free time to do more good things for people. There are many kinds of volunteer work, such as working with children, helping in an animal hospital and planting trees. When China held the 2008 Summer Olympics, thousands of volunteers helped in that event.

Everyone can do volunteer work. Students often try to save time to do some volunteer work. But why do students do this? Some do it because it can make them happy and learn something useful, while others want to spend their free time in a meaningful way. Some students agree doing volunteer work helps them understand themselves and others much better. Many students say it is a good chance to get to know more people and things. They can make some new friends with different people. Nearly half of volunteers enjoy being healthier, and two-thirds feel less nervous(焦虑的). So it seems that volunteering may improve students’ lives.

Don’t you think so? Please volunteer your free time to help others.

阅读短文，根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）误（F）。

【1】The writer thinks you can’t do volunteer work unless you have much money.

【2】The writer thinks the 2008 Summer Olympics wouldn’t be a success without volunteers.

【3】Some students do volunteer work because it can make them happy.

【4】Being volunteers can help students learn more about themselves.

【5】According to the writer, students must become healthier by doing volunteer work.
