AAccording to an old story, a farmer once found that a bag of corn had been stolen from his house. He went to the judge and told him about his loss. The judge ordered all the people of the farm to come before him. He took a number of sticks of equal length and gave one stick to each man.He then said, “Come before me again tomorrow. I shall then know which of you is the thief because the stick given to the thief will be one inch longer than the others.”The thief was afraid of being found out, and so he cut an inch off his stick. The next day the thief’s stick was found to be one inch shorter than any of the others. In this way the thief was found out, and was at once taken away to prison.21.

The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible."One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?24. The writer couldn't see everything clearly through the window because_____.A. the woman's window was dirtyB. the writer's window was dirtyC. the woman lived nearbyD. the writer was near-sighted25.

From the passage, we can learn ______.A. one shouldn't criticize others very oftenB. one should often make his windows cleanC. one must judge himself before he judges othersD. one must look at others through his dirty windowsCWhen I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its problems too.One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising --- and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.28.What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?A.Staying on the farm.B.Moving to the countryside.C.Leaving home for the city.D.Running away from the school.29.What can we learn from the text?A.He is very old now.B.He is in good health.C.He prefers driving a car.D.He lives in the city now.30.In the passage, the writer tries to __________.A.express his opinions about way of lifeB.describe his life in the countrysideC.an interest in the outside worldD.persuade the reader to live in the city31.How is the passage mainly developed?A.By questioning.B.By comparing.C.By listing examples.D.By giving explanations.DArriving in New YorkThere are three airports in New York ．When you arrive at one of them ,you can take a bus or a taxi to any place in New YorkEating outThere are many kinds of food in New York , and you shouldn’t eat at McDonald’s every day．There are good restaurants in Little Italy and Chinatown , for example．HotelsThere are lots of good hotels in New York ．The best is the plaza on 5th avenue but you don't have to pay a lot to stay in the city ;there are lots of smaller hotels and the YMCA near central park is great for young people ．Public transportIn New York , there’re good bus and subway services.
