He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs ．The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house.” It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a horse trainer who would go from stable （马棚） to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch(d 大牧场) to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy's high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.”That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch ．He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram （图解） of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch ．”He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, "See me after class.”21．Why can the writer use Roberts's house to raise money for youth at risk programs?A.

Because of this, most people think that craft(手艺) no longer exists.One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built,”they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter(木匠) to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts(精确切割)on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.24. Compared to the carpenters in the past, modern carpenters are__________.A. more successfulB. more learnedC. more imaginativeD. more hardworking25. What does the underlined word “they” (paragraph2) refer to?A. Carpenters who are fond of oak stairways.B. Carpenters who have college degrees.C. people who think highly of carpenters of oldD. people who think that modern material is of low quality.26. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?A. People in the past preferred to use oak to build stairways.B. It is now expensive to employ a carpenter.C. Modern houses last as long as the old one.D. Good carpenters still exist in modern times.27. What would be the best title for the text?A. Is Craft Dead?B. Craft, Back to Life?C. History of CraftsmanshipD. Carpenters Today and YesterdayCA primary school teacher who left a class of 25 pupils in tears after she told them Santa Claus did not exist has been fired.When excited youngsters became rowdy as they talked about Santa，the supply teacher said out suddenly，“It's your parents who leave out presents on Christmas Day.”The class of sevenyearolds at Blackshaw Lane Primary School，Royton，Greater Manchester burst into tears and told their parents when they arrived home.Mothers and fathers then complained about the incident and were sent a letter by the school saying the teacher，who only worked at the school for one day last week，has been disciplined.The school has now said it will not hire her again.One father said，“My son came home and said that his teacher had told the class that Santa doesn't exist and it's their mum and dad that put out presents for them. Obviously，they were all talking about Christmas and being a bit rowdy. She just came straight out with it.”“My son was in tears and so was everyone else in the class—especially as it was so close to Christmas. I thought it was wrong. He was crazy about it. He's only seven years old and it's part of the magic of Christmas to him.”“We told him that she did not bel ieve in Father Christmas because of her religion and he's fine now.”“The father described the incident as ‘shocking’and believed it was done with malicious intent(恶意地)．A lot of parents were angry and complained to the school. The teacher，who was supplied by Rochdale and Oldham Supply Agency，is still listed and will work with other schools，”the agency said.However，the head teacher in Angela McCormick refused to comment on the incident.28．Who felt the angriest about the incident?A．The teacher who was fired.B．The pupils who were in tears.C．The parents whose children cried.D．Santa Claus the teacher talked about.29．The sevenyearold children cried because of ________.A．their teacher's leavingB．the letters by the schoolC．something about Santa ClausD．the presents left out by the parents30．We can infer from the passage that ________.A．the teacher was fired and couldn't continue her career in teachingB．the parents complained about the discipline of the schoolC．the little pupils felt disappointed after hearing the news told by the teacherD．in reality，Santa Claus exists and gives out presents once a year. 31．What's the meaning of the underlined word“rowdy”？A．Surprised. B. Noisy. C．Discouraged. D．Annoyed.DFrom Japan to Indonesia, a certain kind of pop culture is very hot. But it doesn’t come from Hollywood—it’s Hallyu(韩流), the wave of Korean pop culture that has washed over Asia. It has influenced everything from music to television. And thanks to the Internet and social media, it’s now spreading worldwide.South Korea produces all types of entertainment, the most popular being music, soap operas and films. What makes Hallyu so hot in Asia? One reason is that its products are of high quality and much cheaper than western products. Another reason is that eastern cultures are similar to each other, although there arelanguage differences.Korean pop music, or “K-pop”, ranks the firs t everywhere. Fans love the songs and the attractive stars. Companies like SM Entertainment, JYP Entertainment and YG Entertainment help many K-pop stars, such as Super Junior, Big Bang and Rain, to succeed. They are not only popular in Asia but also enjoy popularity in the West. In 2011, Big Bang’s mini-album Tonight reached the top 10 on U.S. Tunes Top Pop Albums. When SM Entertainment took their 2010 world tour to Los Angeles, only 30 percent of the 15,000 fans were Korean. Half of the audience wasn’t ev en Asian!One important reason for the success of Hallyu is simply the Internet. A little more than 10 years ago, Korean soap operas, movies and music reached the outside world quite slowly. They began in Korea, and then gradually spread outward, appearing in its neighboring countries where local TV and radio companies would play them. Now they are played around the world online at the same time.YouTube is another major way to get Korean entertainment to fans everywhere. It is an inexpensive and valid way for artists to introduce their work to a larger audience. In 2010 the YouTube channels for the top three Korean entertainment groups together had nearly 800 million views from 225 different countries.32.Hallyu is very hot in Asia partly because________.A. languages in Asia are similar to each otherB. the culture is the most fashionable in the worldC. the quality of South Korea’s products is highD. South Korea’s products are the cheapest in Asia33.The author shows the popularity of K-pop in the West_______.A. in order of spaceB. by giving examplesC. by listing reasonsD. in order of time34.What does the underlined word valid (in Para. 5) mean?A. slowB. successfulC. uselessD. necessary35.What would be the best title for the passage?A. K-pop Ranks the First EverywhereB. YouTube Helps Korean Cultures SpreadC. Korean Soap Operas Are Growing in PopularityD.
