22、   The year was 1999. I was 18, living with friends in a town about an hour north of Milwaukee. Desperate for adventure, we often talked about haunted (闹鬼的) locations, and even wandered around the woods near Rienzi Cemetery. So when a friend shared a story about an abandoned house just down the road from Rienzi, how could I possibly resist? The group of us jumped in the car and headed off into the wild unknown, completely unaware of the misfortune that would soon befall us.

The house was isolated, overgrown and barely visible from the road. Most of its windows were broken. It seemed completely neglected except the locked door and a NO ENTRY sign outside. How would anyone notice, or possibly even care, if we went in and looked around?

We stole inside, hoping for anything to prove the legend. Nothing valuable was found until an old letter, addressed to a Mr. J. Witherell, caught my eye. Its paper was stiff and yellowed. Excited by the physical evidence, I slipped the letter into my back pocket. I was about to exit the house when I noticed firetrucks and police cars lining up out on the road. While most of us were exploring the house, one of us managed to knock a fire detector off the ceiling, which triggered an automated alarm at the fire department. I quickly alerted the others, but there would be no escape.

After a moment of panic, we decided to go outside and face the music. To avoid a theft charge, I left the letter where it was before stepping outside.

The result? Not only did we all get fined for entering, we were required to pay for property damage totaling $1,500 each — too much for us to afford.

For so many years, I have been wondering: Why is the deserted house so heavily protected with detectors and other security measures? Why is the property regularly maintained? What's the story behind that mysterious letter?

【1】What did the shabby appearance of the house seem to remind the kids?

A.They would have no trouble entering it.

B.Their entry would bring them a surprise.

C.Their entry would disturb the neighbours.

D.Their behavior would be noticed by its owner.

【2】Why did the author attempt to take the letter away?

A.It might reveal who had been maintaining the house.

B.It might help uncover the mystery of the abandoned house.

C.It must have been written to disclose a tragedy.

D.It was an evidence of the house being heavily protected.

【3】What led the police cars and firetrucks to arrive so quickly?

A.The police officers were checking there.

B.The house owner reported to the police.

C.The police cars were passing by accident.

D.Some boy started the fire alarm system.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.The empty house has been under strict protection.

B.The author wonders why they got fined.

C.No maintenance to the house is conducted regularly.

D.There is much mystery about the abandoned house.

23、Are you thinking of writing someone a letter? Call instead. It isn’t that expensive, especially when you call during the evening, night, or weekend hours. In fact, you can make a ten-minute call anywhere in the continental United States for just $2.60.

For even greater saving, always dial direct, that is, without an operator’s help. Rates (资；费) on direct calls are lower after five o’clock in the evening and lowest after eleven o’clock at night. Collect, person-to-person, and pay phone calls require the services of an operator, and they cost more than direct calls.

Need to call out of the country? Now calls to many overseas places may be dialed direct. Check your telephone direction for overseas area codes.

Next time you have good news, or you just want to stay in touch, remember, a phone call means so much more than a letter. This has been a message from Southern Bell Telephone Company.

【1】According to this passage, when is a dial telephone call cheapest?

A．During weekend hours.

B．After 5 in the evening.

C．During working hours.

D．After 11 at night.

【2】To make a ten-minute call costs $2.60, if you are in New York and want to be connected with a person in ______.

A．Alaska

B．Los Angeles

C．Hawaii

D．Mexico city

【3】What type of call requires less money?

A．A direct dial call.

B．A collect call.

C．A person-to-person call.

D．A call from a pay phone.

【4】This passage is ______.

A．an article

B．a letter

C．a talk

D．a dialogue

24、Across the planet there are millions of people who engage in some type of meditation, the practice of concentrating and clearing the mind to bring the body into a state of peace, at least a semi-regular basis. For some, particularly among practitioners of Eastern religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism, this is_______of their religious practice.

For others, particularly in Western cultures, meditation tends to be a response to stress. With the world economy approaching meltdown and people worried about their job or their ability to keep their home, it’s a way for people to attain a state of peace of mind and well-being. For those interested in taking up the practice, instruction in meditation for beginners can be found in literally thousands of sources.

One of the most popular styles of mediation in the West, with classes offered in most major cities, is called Transcendental Meditation. TM, as it is known among its practitioners, first came to worldwide attention when the Beatles began practicing it in 1967. For direct, guided, personal instruction in meditation for the beginner, TM may be the hallmark.

Part of the confusion about how to practice meditation effectively is due to the fact that there are literally hundreds of techniques championed by various groups and individuals. As a general principle, it might be said that all meditation techniques seek to have the practitioner attain a state of consciousness that is different to our ordinary state of awareness. They attempt to train people to clear their minds and achieve a sense of inner peace. It sounds simple enough, but of the huge number of people experiment with meditation, very few are able to maintain its practice over the long haul. In most cases, this is due to frustration over the inability to experience any dramatic, instantly recognizable effects.

This is quite a sad state of affairs, that so few these days are willing or equipped to persist in something that doesn’t provide immediate life-changing results. It reflects a culture in which demands for discipline and sustained effort are considered unnecessary or even unfair. It is no surprise therefore that many people abandon their efforts at meditation before they have a chance to bear fruit.

But for anyone who does decide to take up this worthwhile practice, please remember: You must clear your mind, relax and “take it as it comes”. Maintain the practice with a sense of discipline and devotion, and eventually benefits of inner peace and calm will be yours.

【1】The underlined part “part and parcel of” in paragraph 1 is nearest in meaning to ________.

A. closely associated with   B. very different to

C. usually sent from   D. an important element of

【2】The goal of meditation is ________.

A. to clear the mind

B. to practice a religion

C. to develop a technique

D. to carry out an experiment

【3】What can we infer about meditation from the passage?

A. It has two main types.

B. It is practiced by many famous artists.

C. Its benefits are not immediately obvious.

D. Most people find it a very good way to relax.

【4】According to the writer, what has attracted many Western people to meditation practices in recent years?

A. Their improved understanding of foreign culture.

B. The need to fill in their growing free time.

C. Increasing employment instability.

D. Migration from countries in which meditation is traditional.

【5】Who is the probable audience for this article?

A. Experienced meditation practitioners.

B. People interested in starting to learn meditation.

C. Buddhists and Hindus.

D. People who are very religious.

25、It was late, about 10:15 p.m., when Janice Esposito arrived at the Bellport train station; she jumped into her Honda Odyssey and began the 20-minute drive home to her husband and seven-year-old son.

Once DiPinto concluded the driver was OK, he looked around and________Esposito's minivan positioned on the railroad tracks.

"The gates were starting to come down," he told Newsday.“I see the headlight of the train." DiPinto ran quickly to Esposito's minivan and knocked on the driver's side window. She________looked at him, her eyes unfocused.“I don't know where I am," she said. She seemed unhurt. "Honey, you're on the railroad________,”DiPinto shouted.“We have to get you off right now!" He pulled hard on the________, but the door was crashed in and________.The heavy diesel train, traveling at 65 miles per hour, was moving fast toward them. DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the________，“Please, don't let her be________,”he thought.
