AThe easy way out isn't always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough(面团)covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work, I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out,I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up witha stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to admit what the 'living thing' was and why it was there.I don't know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing—Doug or me.21. Why did the woman’s attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful?A. the canned orange had gone badB. she didn't use the right kind of flourC. the cookbook was hard to understandD. she did not follow the directions closely22. What made the dough in the rubbish bin make the noise?A. The rising and falling movement.B. The strange-looking marks.C. Its shape.D. Its size.23. When Doug went out the third time, the woman looked out of the window becauseshe was ________.A. surprised at his being interested in the binB. afraid that he would discover her secretC. unhappy that he didn't enjoy the meal D .curious to know what disturbed himBEight Days from just ￡ 299Departs May--October 2005Includes :● Return flights from 8 UK airports to Naples● Return airport to hotel transport● Seven nights' accommodation at the 3 * Hotel Nice● The services of guides● Government taxesJoin us for a wonderful holiday in one of Europe' s most wonderful corners.

After arriving，we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river， we noticed that it was surrounded （环绕）by cliffs（悬崖）.If someone wanted to reach the river at this point， he had to walk past our camp.Several days later，the scoutmaster had to he away for a day. That afternoon，we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire，eating and talking，when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange，but，because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid，no one said anything.We ate rather slowly， taking as long as possible. After finishing，we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river—we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once，we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river.We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep（悄悄移动）down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow， we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there，so we ran down to the bank，looking every-where carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.When it got dark，we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling，he doubted that we had seen the man，but finally suggested we go and look again. We did，but there was no one there.Many years have passed，but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see？ I do not know.28.The writer in the text mainly tells us _________.A.the story of his childhoodB.a strange camping experienceC.about a stranger by the riverD.about a good place for camping.29.Why did the boys eat their supper slowly？A.They wanted to delay going to the river bank.B.They were sailing for their scoutmaster.C.They had a supper earlier than usual.D.They were taking while eating.30.The word “bewildered” in the text probably means _________.A.ashamedB.nervousC.unable to understandD.eager to know something31.When he heard what had happened, the scoutmaster________.A. realized who the man wasB. started to worry about the manC. went back to look for the manD. felt it hard to believe the boysDImagine that the genome（基因组）is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book, which makes it longer than 5,000 volumes the size of this book. Or as long as 800 Bibles. If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for 8 hours a day, it would take me a country. If I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube. This is an enormous document, a huge volume, a cook book of great length, and it all fits inside the extremely small nucleus（核）of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin.The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor（比喻）. It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only complication is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some from right to left, though never both at the same time.While English books are written in words of different lengths using 26 letters, genomes are written entirely in three-letter words, using only four letters. And instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules （分子）. The genome is a very clever book because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and read itself.32. How to human genomes read according to the passage?A. Only from left to right.B. Only from right to left.C. From both directions at the same time.D. From one direction at a time.33. We can learn from the passage that the human genome _____.A. is as long as the River DanubeB. can be easily placed on the head of a pinC. is coded with an alphabet of four lettersD. is smart enough to read and take photos of itself34. It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for _____.A. specialists in the fieldB. general readersC. natural scientistsD. readers with academic background35. The real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is _____.A. to focus on the differences between the twoB. to lay emphasis on the similarities between the twoC. to simplify the concept of the human genomeD. to give an exact description of the human genome第二节（共5小题：每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
