AWhen you walk along a street in a big city in the United States, you may see clocks in most stores. Radio announcers give the correct time during the day. People there think that it is important to know the time. Most Americans have watches. They want to do certain things at certain times. They do not want to be late. Not all people all over the world value time. Supposeyou visit a certain country in South America. You would find that people living there do not like to rush. If you had an appointment （约会） with someone, he would probably be late. He would not care for arriving on time. In some countries in South America, even the radio programs may not begin right on time, nor do the radio announcers think it important to announce the right time. Many people regard a clock as a machine. It seems to them that a person who does everything ontime is controlled （控制） by a machine. They do not want a clock or any machine to have that much power over their lives.21.There are clocks in most stores in the US cities because ______.A.people in the stores want to sell these clocksB.people think it important to know the timeC.bosses want to make their stores beautifulD.they needn't wear watches when they are away from home22. The underlined word“ rushepassage”inthmost probably means ______.A. runB. raceC. moveD. hurry23.If you had an appointment with someone in some place in South America, he might not arriveon time ，and this is because ______.A.he didn't have a watch with himB.he didn't think it important to arrive on timeC.he forgot to have a look at a watch or a clockD.he didn't like an appointment with someone24.In some countries in South America ______.A.the radio programs many start a bit early or lateB. the radio announcers do think it important to announce the exact timeC. many people think a clock has much powerD. most people do not want to be controlled by othersBWhen someone says, “ Well,I guess I'll have to face the music, ”it doesn't mean he isplanning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss toexplain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this or that. Terrible music indeed,but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to "face the music ” ,especially as children. We can remember father's angry voice,“ I want to talk to you!” A because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!The phrase“ face the music” is known to every American, old nd young. It is at least onehundred years old. Where did the expression come from?The first explanation came from the American novelist, James Fenimore Cooper. He said, in1851, that expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. Afterthey got their clue to go on, they often said.“ It's time to face the music.” And that was what they did -----facing the orchestra( 乐队 ) which was just below the stage.An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audiencethat might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out.If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression“ face the music” came to meango through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew youhad no choice.”25.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.When you have to face the music, it is probable that you have met something unpleasant.B.When actors have to face the music, it means they have to go on stage to perform, howeverchangeable the situation is.C. If you?d like to enjoy songs, you?ll face the music.D. If a child does something against his parent's will, maybe he'll face the music.26.Why might an actor be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of theaudience?A.Because the audience might be unfriendly.B.Because he thought he might forget his lines.C.Because he was afraid that his performance might not be perfect.D.All the above.27.From the passage we know that the expression“ face the music” was first used by ________.A. childrenB. a novelistC. actorsD. audienceA. Actors? behavior as they moved on to the stage.B. The meaning and the origin of the phrase“ face the music” .C. A personal idea expressed by an American novelist, James Fenimore Cooper.D. The feelings when we have to face the music.CBelow are introductions to five U.S. national parksAcadia National Park, MaineThe Attraction ：With the highest mountains on the U.S. Atlantic coast, deserted offshore islands and 41 miles of shoreline, it is easy to understand how Acadia became the only national park inthe northeast. Hiking ( 徒步旅行 ) or driving to the top of 1,532-foot Cadillac Mountain enablesyou to enjoy the view of Frenchman Bay ( 海湾 )When to Go：Head to Acadia during the fall, when the trees in the park turn red, orange and yellow.Bryce Canyon National Park, UtahThe Attraction ：Utah's Bryce Canyon(峡谷) is one of the few national parks where you look down with great admiration, instead of up at mountains. Here, hundreds of colorful rocks stand at attention like soldiers.When to Go ：Summer is a good time to go. Bryce at 8,000 to 9,000 feet high keeps the park fairly cool.Grand Canyon National Park, ArizonaThe Attraction ：Looking down at the huge hole in the earth that forms a mile-deep canyon, visitors to Arizona's Grand Canyon enjoy an amazing view. They can walk 500 feet down alongthe path, or try the horse ride for something different.When to Go ：From mid-September to October, the temperature is below 24℃，much cooler than Arizona in the summer.Olympic National Park, WashingtonThe Attraction ：Washington's Olympic National Park is often referred to as three parks in one, combining Pacific Ocean coastline, high mountains and rain forest. Try the Kalaloch Beaches fora day hike. In the high country, paths lead you to above-treeline walks with beautiful views.When to Go ：August and September are the driest months at Olympic without clouds and fog, thus offering the best view.Shenandoah National Park, VirginiaThe Attraction ：Shenandoah National Park is a super mix of water, valley and high mountains. Drive 105 miles on the high mountain roads and you will see many of the park's well-known hikes. It is home to six waterfalls, too.When to Go ：Fall is even more popular than summer at Shenandoah. Head there in the spring, however, and the weather's a bit cooler,the wildflowers are coming out, and it's much more peaceful.29.If you want to take a horse ride, which park would you choose to visit?A. Acadia National ParkB. Olympic National ParkC. Grand Canyon National ParkD. Bryce Canyon National Park.30.The national park that offers a view of colorful rocks is in the state of___.A. MaineB. UtahC. WashingtonD. Virginia31.Which is the most popular season to visit Shenandoah National Park?A. SpringB. SummerC. FallD. WinterDEverybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world — Japan, Los Angeles ,Turkey — rats will soon be man?s new best friends.What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can?tget into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives — the rat.How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat?s braingives a signal( 信号 ). This is sent with a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow theradio signals. When the rat ?s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. Therat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster atCornell University, New York, says,“ ,Robots? noseswelldon?twhenworkthere are other smellsaround. Rats are good at that. ” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don?t need electricity!The “ rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says,“ It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn?t get to and a rat would get out if itwasn?t safe. ” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building(but only after an earthquake, of course).32.In the earthquake capitals of the world, rats will become man?s best friends because they can_____.A.take the place of man?s jobs while saving people after earthquakesB.find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC.serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD.move faster compared with other animals33.From Paragraph 3 we know the rescuers can judge a person alive by_____.A.the noise made by the rat and the radioB.the rat?s unusual and abnormal behaviorC.the signal sent by the radio on the rat?s backD.the smell given off by the person and rats34.In doing rescue jobs, _____.A.rats can smell better than dogsB.dogs don?t need to be trained to smell peopleC.robots? smell can be affected by other smells aroundD.rats can see in the dark and are smaller than all the robots35.After reading the passage we can know _____.A.at present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for peopleC. people are now happy to see a rat in a buildingD. now people still use dogs and robots in rescues第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分7.5 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。
