AMark Twain, the famous American writer and a great master of humor, liked to play jokes on others. But once a joke was played on him. One day Mark Twain was invited to give a talk in a small town. At lunch he met a young man, one of his friends.The young man said that he had an uncle with him. He told Mark Twain that his uncle never laughed or smiled, and that nobody and nothing was able to make his uncle smile or laugh.“You bring your uncle to my talk this evening, ” said Mark Twain. “I’m sure I can make him laugh.”That evening the young man and his uncle sat in the front. Mark Twain began to speak. He told several funny stories and made everyone in the room laugh. But the man never even smiled. Mark Twain told more funny stories, but the old man still kept quiet. Mark Twain continued to tell his funny stories. Finally he stopped. He was tired and quite disappointed.Some day s later, Mark Twain told another friend what had happened. “Oh, ” said his friend, “I know that man. He’s been deaf for years.”21．The writer wrote the passage mainly to .A．tell readers Mark Twain liked playing jokesB．tell readers a joke played on Mark TwainC．tell readers Mark Twain was a great writerD．tell readers how to tell a funny story22．Why did Mark Twain ask the young man to bring his uncle to his talk?A．Because he thought he could make the old man laugh.B．Because he wanted to get to know the old man.C．Because the old man could tell stories.D．Because he wanted to learn from the old man.23．Mark Twain stopped finally because he was .A．disappointed B．upset C．concerned D．intelligentBBoxing day is on December 26th, the day after Christmas, and is celebrated in Great Britain and in most areas settled by the British except for the United States of America, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand.Despite its name, Boxing Day has nothing to do with competition sports. While the exact origins of the holiday are unclear, it is likely that Boxing Day began in England during the Middle Ages. Some historians say the holiday developed because servants were asked to work on Christmas Day, but took the following day off. As servants prepared to leave to visit their families, their employers would present them with gift boxes. Another theory is that the alms(捐款，救济物) boxes in churches were opened and the money was given to the poor on December 26th. Still some believe that, centuries ago, on the day after Christmas, members of the merchant(商业)class would give boxes containing food and fruit, clothing and money to businessmen and servants. The gifts were an expression of thankfulness, much like today when people receive bonuses(奖金)from their employers because of a well-done job. These gifts, given in boxes, gave the holiday its name, “Boxing Day”.Traditionally, Boxing Day is a day when families get together. It is a day of watching sports games with family. In the past, hunting was one of the favorite activities on this day. People usually went hunting for wrens or foxes. Today, Boxing Day is spent with family and friends with lots of food and sharing of friendship and love. Government buildings and small businesses are closed but the malls are open. Shopping is a popular Boxing Day activity, and the malls are usually filled with bargains. Besides these activities, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping an individual family that is in need. Boxing Day has mainly become an extension of the Christmas holiday, giving working families one more day as the happy time of a year. 24．On Boxing Day servants probably ________.A．took part in competition sportsB．still had to work for employersC．were allowed to visit their familiesD．were given Alms boxes by employers25．Members of the merchant class gave gift boxes to businessmen and servants to ________．A．show care and kindness to them B．thank them for doing a good jobC．provide them with enough money D．pass on the traditional love and spirit 26．What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?A．The beginning of Boxing Day. B．The hunting on Boxing Day.C．The good spirit of Boxing Day. D．The activities on Boxing Day. 27．Why is shopping popular on Boxing Day?A．Because government buildings and small businesses are closed.B．Because only malls are open on that day.C．Because things can be bought at a low price.D．Because people buy things to donate to the poor.CThis is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to renovate(翻新) the house, a Japanese tore open the walls. Japanese houses normally have an empty space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard(蜥蜴) stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, feeling pity and curious. When he checked the nail, he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.What happened? The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! It has been in a dark wall partition(夹层) for 10 years without moving！Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step—since its foot was nailed! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard: What has it been doing? What and how has it been eating? Later, he didn’t know from where another lizard appeared, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was astonished and touched deeply. The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years.Such love, a beautiful love! Such love happened with this tiny creature. What can love do? It can do wonders! Just think about it: One lizard had been feeding the otherone untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner. If a small creature like a lizard can love like this, just imagine how we can love if we try. 28．How did the Japanese feel when seeing the stuck lizard?A．Frightened. B．Enjoyable. C．Confused. D．Usual.29．What can we learn from the free lizard?A．It teaches us never to abandon our loved ones.B．It teaches us to give more help to our loved ones.C．It tells us to take pity on the stuck lizard.D．It encourages us to live even longer.30．Why did the Japanese stop his work?A．To watch how long the lizard can still live here.B．To take out the nail and set the lizard free.C．To have a rest by watching the lizard.D．To find out why the lizard had survived here for 10 years.31．What would be the best title for the passage?A．A Wonder B．Two Lizards C．Such a Story D．Lizard LoveDAstronauts on shorter spaceship tasks often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS). ISS crew members usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, Internet phone and through private video conferences.While astronauts cannot go to a football game or a movie in space, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crew member put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the Internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some “Web surfing”in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out of the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment offers a new view of the Earth’s vast land mass and oceans.32. In Paragraph 1, what does the word “mimic” mean?A. admit.B. cover.C. change.D. copy.33. According to the context, which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS?A. They are excited and fascinated.B. They are worried and upset.C. They are patient and annoyed.D. They are caring and thoughtful.34. In the last paragraph, the writer shows that astronauts __________.A. get more pleasure in space than on the EarthB. love to see the Earth from spaceC. regard space life as commonD. find living in space a bit boring and tiring35. The passage mainly discusses how astronauts ___________. .A. work for shorter missions in spaceB. spend their time in spaceC. observe the Earth from spaceD. connect with people on the Earth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。

AGrandpa picked up several items and placed them on the counter. He told the clerk（柜员) it would be on credit. The clerk was new and didn’t know Grandpa, though he had been coming to this same country store for 20 years.“Sign here,” the clerk pointed to a piece of paper and said.Grandpa took the pencil beside the paper and carefully marked an “X” on the dotted（点）line.“You’re supposed to sign your name,” she said.Grandpa’s hand shook with the pencil. He was a tall man, thin with sandy blond（金色的） hair and blue eyes. I hadn’t seen him so embarrassed before, especially in front of a teenager girl.“I can’t read or write,” he said. “I’ve always signed with an ’X’”. I could see he wanted nothing more than to get out of there.I wasn’t sure what happened, but somewhere deep inside of Grandpa had been pricked. I went close to him and broke my chocolate bar in half.“Want some?” I asked. He took it and cut into it. In spite of his smile, the sadness in his eyes said that chocolate wouldn’t make the pain go away.Grandpa is no longer with us now, but I know he was never simply “Grandpa X”. He just didn’t know how to read and he thought it was too late in life for him to start. What I would want to tell Grandpa more than anything else, if I could speak to him today, is that it’s not too late. There are programs and people who are willing to help him learn to read and write. But the most important thing I’d say is that whether he could read or not, he was never just “Grandpa X” to me.1. Which of the following statements about the writer’s grandpa is WRONG?__________.A. He didn’t know how to re ad or write all his life.B. He felt embarrassed when the clerk asked him to sign his name.C. He had always signed with an “X” in the country store before the new clerk came.D. He was a hard-working man but slow at learning.2. The underlined word “pricked” in paragraph 7 means “ ________ ”.A. ignoredB. fooledC. hurtD. worried3. What can we infer from the last paragraph?__________.A. It’s difficult for an old man to learn to read.B. The writer’s love for his grandpa wouldn’t change.C. The writer would have respected his grandpa more if he had learned to read.D. You will be looked down upon if you can’t read or write.BA very popular band, Jonas Brothers, released its fourth album this week. The first album by the Jonas Brothers is "It's About Time".

Their designers say with these robots, rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.This robot looking like a helicopter,a kind of small airplane, is called the detector-bot. It's about 4 meters long, and it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main work is to collect information from the air, and send goods up to 30 kilos, to people trapped by an earthquake.This robot has a 360 degree panoramic(全景) camera. It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area. Dr. Qi Juntong, Chinese Academy of Science, said, "The most important thing of this robot is that it doesn't need a far control. We just set the target information on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 meters,and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour. "This robot has a different function----- it can change as the environment changes. Its main work is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. As well as a detector(探测器) that finds the dead and detects poisonous gas, a camera is placed in the 40-centimeter-long robot, which can work in the dark.Another use for the rescuers is the supply robots, with its 10-meter-long pipe. People who are trapped in the ruins, will be able to get supplies including oxygen（氧气）and water. Experts have said that the robots will enter production, and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.8.

Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while —then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us develop more slowly but then may bee lifelong feelings, extending(延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy weling us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality(好客) easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their wele usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the wele will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!36．The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an AmericanB. a ChineseC. a professorD. a student 37．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.B. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.C. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.D. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families. 38．From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.A. warmly weled at the airportB. offered a ride to his/her homeC. treated hospitably at his/her homeD. treated to dinner in a restaurant 39．The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.A. strict with timeB. serious with timeC. careful with timeD. willing to spend timeBTHE WAY TO READ FASTPerhaps you have been told about some habits（习惯）which stop a person reading fast、and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.Do you still have any of these bad habits7 Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" tothese questions:1. Do you move your lips(嘴唇) when reading silently？2. Do you point to words with your finger as you read?3. Do you move your head from side to side as you read?4. Do you read one word at a time?If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit.If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them.If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you will not have a free finger to use in pointing while reading.If you move your head, place your chin（下巴）in one hand, and hold your head still(不动地，静止地).If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance(看一眼) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.40．You may hold your fingers over your lips while readingA. to hold a piece of paper between themB. to stop yourself talking to othersC. to tell others to be silentD. to feel whether your lips move or not41. When your eyes travel across the lines of words,A. you need to read the words outB. you need to look at every word carefullyC. you need to read several words at a timeD. you need to remember every word42．When you read,A. don’t use your fi nger to point to wordsB. don’t hold your books with your handsC. don’t hold your head stillD. don’t do any of the things mentioned (提到) above.CWhat will man be like in the future—in 5000 or even 50, 000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago , was shorter than he is today. Now, on average men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years isa relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’ s capacity(容量). As time goes on , however , we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact , we use them so much that very often they bee weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’ s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however , our fingers will grow more sensitive（敏感的）because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in mon with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. …43．The passage mainly tells us that _______.A. man’s life will be different in the future.B. future man will look quite different from us.C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes.D. human’s organs’ functions will bee weak “44．The change in man’s size of forehead will probably be because ___________.A. he makes use only20% of the brain’s capacity.B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeD. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on :45．What will be true about a human being in the future?A. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.C. His fingers will grow weaker because he won’t have to make use of them.D. He will think and feel in a different way.46．It is implied that ________.A. human beings will bee less attractive in the futureB. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration(退化,)C. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictableDAbout six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy — who could not have been more than seven or eight years old — replied.“Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed (确认) my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we w ere “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑) , many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.munication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read plex materials.47．According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.A．a sure sign of a mental problem in a childB．a mental state present in all humans, including childrenC．something that cannot be avoided in children’s mental development D．something hardly to be expected in a young child48．Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________.

AMark Twain, the famous American writer and a great master of humor, liked to play jokes on others. But once a joke was played on him. One day Mark Twain was invited to give a talk in a small town. At lunch he met a young man, one of his friends.The young man said that he had an uncle with him. He told Mark Twain that his uncle never laughed or smiled, and that nobody and nothing was able to make his uncle smile or laugh.“You bring your uncle to my talk this evening, ” said Mark Twain. “I’m sure I can make him laugh.”That evening the young man and his uncle sat in the front. Mark Twain began to speak. He told several funny stories and made everyone in the room laugh. But the man never even smiled. Mark Twain told more funny stories, but the old man still kept quiet. Mark Twain continued to tell his funny stories. Finally he stopped. He was tired and quite disappointed.Some days later, Mark Twain told another friend what had happened. “Oh, ” said his friend, “I know that man. He’s been deaf for years.”21．The writer wrote the passage mainly to .A．tell readers Mark Twain liked playing jokesB．tell readers a joke played on Mark TwainC．tell readers Mark Twain was a great writerD．tell readers how to tell a funny story22．Why did Mark Twain ask the young man to bring his uncle to his talk?A．Because he thought he could make the old man laugh.B．Because he wanted to get to know the old man.C．Because the old man could tell stories.D．Because he wanted to learn from the old man.23．Mark Twain stopped finally because he was .A．disappointed B．upset C．concerned D．intelligentBBoxing day is on December 26th, the day after Christmas, and is celebrated in Great Britain and in most areas settled by the British except for the United States of America, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand.Despite its name, Boxing Day has nothing to do with competition sports. While the exact origins of the holiday are unclear, it is likely that Boxing Day began in England during the Middle Ages. Some historians say the holiday developed because servants were asked to work on Christmas Day, but took the following day off. As servants prepared to leave to visit their families, their employers would present them with gift boxes. Another theory is that the alms(捐款，救济物) boxes in churches were opened and the money was given to the poor on December 26th. Still some believe that, centuries ago, on the day after Christmas, members of the merchant(商业)class would give boxes containing food and fruit, clothing and money to businessmen and servants. The gifts were an expression of thankfulness, much like today when people receive bonuses(奖金)from their employers because of a well-done job. These gifts, given in boxes, gave the holiday its name, “Boxing Day”.Traditionally, Boxing Day is a day when families get together. It is a day of watching sports games with family. In the past, hunting was one of the favorite activities on this day. People usually went hunting for wrens or foxes. Today, Boxing Day is spent with family and friends with lots of food and sharing of friendship and love. Government buildings and small businesses are closed but the malls are open. Shopping is a popular Boxing Day activity, and the malls are usually filled with bargains. Besides these activities, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating their time, servicesand money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping an individual family that is in need. Boxing Day has mainly become an extension of the Christmas holiday, giving working families one more day as the happy time of a year. 24．On Boxing Day servants probably ________.A．took part in competition sportsB．still had to work for employersC．were allowed to visit their familiesD．were given Alms boxes by employers25．Members of the merchant class gave gift boxes to businessmen and servants to ________．A．show care and kindness to them B．thank them for doing a good jobC．provide them with enough money D．pass on the traditional love and spirit 26．What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?A．The beginning of Boxing Day. B．The hunting on Boxing Day.C．The good spirit of Boxing Day. D．The activities on Boxing Day. 27．Why is shopping popular on Boxing Day?A．Because government buildings and small businesses are closed.B．Because only malls are open on that day.C．Because things can be bought at a low price.D．Because people buy things to donate to the poor.CThis is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to renovate(翻新) the house, a Japanese tore open the walls. Japanese houses normally have an empty space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard(蜥蜴) stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, feeling pity and curious. When he checked the nail, he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.What happened? The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! It has been in a dark wall partition(夹层) for 10 years without moving！Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step—since its foot was nailed! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard: What has it been doing?What and how has it been eating? Later, he didn’t know from where another lizard appeared, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was astonished and touched deeply. The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years.Such love, a beautiful love! Such love happened with this tiny creature. What can love do? It can do wonders! Just think about it: One lizard had been feeding the other one untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner. If a small creature like a lizard can love like this, just imagine how we can love if we try. 28．How did the Japanese feel when seeing the stuck lizard?A．Frightened. B．Enjoyable. C．Confused. D．Usual.29．What can we learn from the free lizard?A．It teaches us never to abandon our loved ones.B．It teaches us to give more help to our loved ones.C．It tells us to take pity on the stuck lizard.D．It encourages us to live even longer.30．Why did the Japanese stop his work?A．To watch how long the lizard can still live here.B．To take out the nail and set the lizard free.C．To have a rest by watching the lizard.D．To find out why the lizard had survived here for 10 years.31．What would be the best title for the passage?A．A Wonder B．Two Lizards C．Such a Story D．Lizard LoveDAstronauts on shorter spaceship tasks often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS). ISS crew members usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, Internet phone and through private video conferences.While astronauts cannot go to a football game or a movie in space, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friendsof each ISS crew member put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the Internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some “Web surfing” in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out of the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment offers a new view of the Earth’s vast land mass and oceans.32. In Paragraph 1, what does the word “mimic” mean?A. admit.B. cover.C. change.D. copy.33. According to the context, which of the following best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS?A. They are excited and fascinated.B. They are worried and upset.C. They are patient and annoyed.D. They are caring and thoughtful.34. In the last paragraph, the writer shows that astronauts __________.A. get more pleasure in space than on the EarthB. love to see the Earth from spaceC. regard space life as commonD. find living in space a bit boring and tiring35. The passage mainly discusses how astronauts ___________. .A. work for shorter missions in spaceB. spend their time in spaceC. observe the Earth from spaceD. connect with people on the Earth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。

AIt’s almost sunrise near the summit of Japan’s Mount Fuji. Exhausted climbers, many of whom have hiked the 3,776 meters through the night to reach this point, stop to watch as the sun begins its ascent. For everyone, this is an important moment: they have witnessed the sunrise on Mount Fuji.Located in the centre of Japan, Mount Fuji, is a highly respected spot. Japan’s native religion, Shintoism, considers Fuji a holy(神圣的) place. Other people believe the mountain and its waters have the power to make a sick person well. For many, climbing Fuji is also a rite of passage(成人仪式). Some do it as a part of a religious journey; for others, it is a test of strength. Anyway, reaching the top in order to stand on Fuji’s summit at sunrise is a must for many Japanese—and every July and August, almost 400,000 people attempt to do so.Fuji is more than a holy spot and tourist attraction, however. It is also an active volcano(火山) around which four million people have settled, and sits just 112 kilometers from the crowded streets of Tokyo. The last time Fuji exploded, in 1707, it sent out a cloud of ash that covered the capital cityand darkened the sky for weeks.Today, new data have some volcanologists concerned that Fuji may soon explode again. According to Motoo Ukawa and his associates at the National Research Institute for Earth and Science and Disaster Prevention, there has been an increase in activity under Fuji recently, which may be caused by low-frequency earthquakes. Understanding what causes these quakes may help scientists predict when Fuji, the biggest of Japan’s 86 active volcanoes, will come back to life. In the meantime, locals living near Fuji hold special festivals each year to offer gifts to the goddess of the volcano— as they have for generations—so that she will not explode and destroy the land and its people below.21. The underlined word “ascent” in paragraph 1 means ___________.A. moving upB. droppingC. coming outD. disappearing22. What do we know about Mount Fuji ?A. It has exploded quite recently.B. Locals have traditions about it.C. It is the largest volcano in the world.D. About 40,000 people climb it every year.23. According to the text, scientists are worried that __________.A. predicting earthquakes is difficultB. the city near Mount Fuji is too crowdedC. earthquakes in Japan are on the increaseD. Mount Fuji may explode in the near futureBA dear friend of mine was dying of cancer. Shortly before she died she shared with me that she was very sad that she would never get to the beach again. She grew up near the ocean and it was a special place for her. The cancer had made her too weak to travel the 4 to 5 hours from her home to the ocean.I shared this with several of her friends and we decided we had to do something about it.On a Saturday afternoon in June, while her family kept her away from the windows, we drove and carried three tons of white beach sand in her driveway. After the sand was spread around, out came beach balls, boards, beach chairs, a variety of decorations and a fire pit for the bonfire(篝火) on the beach at night.There were two CDs playing. One was the sounds of waves breaking on the beach and the other changed between The Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffett.When all were in place, her daughter brought her out to her private beach where she was greeted by a few dozen friends dressed in flowered shirts. She came out of the house with a beach bag. A tear or two dropped that day, but it was mostly filled with laughs and most of all love. The day ended with a fire on her beach and so much happiness for everyone.She died two weeks later but made it out to her beach four or five more times before she left us.I guess the message of this story is that when someone is in need, we need to try our best to think of ways to help.

I’ve come to learn that it is very important to learn to say “no”. It’s okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.I’m not saying to say “no”to someone who really needs your help. I’m talking about turning down the meeting that you really do not want to be a guest at.Think for a moment how you feel when you say “yes” to something that you really don’t want to do. If you’re like I once was, you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much. It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. No matter what you’re saying to yourself, if you really wanted to go, you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts.So, why not just say “no” from the beginning? Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting (by the way, it is not one you must attend), your boss isn’t going to like you or your co-workers won’t respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom, dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything they ask.If these people are your true friends, family members, or a good boss, they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to, and if you’re someone who always says “yes”, then that’s what they’re expecting.You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real responsibilities in life to fulfill, but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.27. Which of the following statement would the writer agree with?A.
