My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid, first-generation, Italian immigrant. She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8 years old. During the trip she survived stormy seas，little food, and an attack by a German U-boat. After getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. They never had much money but were rich in love.

One day, when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room. I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it.

I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short life I did something else too. I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn't feel like one then.

That memory just like my Nanny's love will stay in my heart forever. It is a sign of both strength and wisdom. Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn, to grow, and to love.

21. Nanny?s family immigrated to America mainly because _____.

A. they suffered starvation in their homeland

B. their country was in war and they needed peace

C. they wanted to start a rich life in the new land

22. The boy complained to Nanny that the food _____.

A. was served a bit later than usual

B. was prepared in a special way

C. was just to his parents? taste

D. wasn't cooked the way his mom did

23. When seeing Nanny crying in the living room, the author felt _____.

A. ashamed

B. surprised

C. shocked

D. annoyed

24. The author mainly wants to tell us that _____.

A. hardships can make children more indifferent

B. grandparents are more tolerant than their grandchildren

C. forgiveness can be beneficial to people asking for it

D. family ties can sometimes be misused

B

With some of the best farmland in the world, America has been able to perfect its process of raising crops and animals. America?s history with farming is as long as the story of the country.

The first settlers to America were interested in the profitability of raising a crop rather than just growing it to feed themselves. In Jamestown, the first cash crop was tobacco. Adaptable and easily managed, tobacco gave its settlers financial backing to move into other areas of agriculture. Until the Civil War, the Southeast was the primary producer of crops from their tobacco and cotton plantations.

With the Homestead Act, settlers began to move west in search of greater lands. The first crop that was generally introduced was wheat. Miles of farmland were established, and products such as corn, tomatoes, peanuts and potatoes became basic crops for the country. The Hatch Act of 1887 put a priority（优先事项）on establishing farmland across the country and put a special emphasis on teaching proper techniques to produce more products and feed the country. The family farm was born from this law.

Because of the Dust Bowl problem and the Depression, much of the farmland developed in earlier times was abandoned（抛弃）. However, after World War II, orders were issued to make use of every available piece of land for production. Over the next few decades, greater emphasis on environmental concerns played a key role in farming.

Now there are many different types of farms in America. The most popular one is the cash grain farm, specializing in corn and soybeans with various grains, beans and rice. Farms that grow vegetables, fruit and nursery crops are known as high value farms. Tobacco and cotton farms are usually kept to lands of their own. In addition to all the food that is grown, there are the livestock(牲畜) farms that raise cattle, dairy and eggs.

25. Reorder the following statements according to the events in the passage.

① The family farm was born.

② There are various types of farms in America.

③ Wheat was generally introduced to America.

④ Tobacco was planted in Jamestown as the first cash crop.

⑤ Environmental concerns played an important role in farming.

A. ③①④⑤②

B. ①④②③⑤

C. ⑤①②③④

D. ④③①⑤②

26. The underlined words in paragraph3 can be replaced by ___________.

A. came up with

B. took an interest in

C. took advantage of

D. attached great importance to

27. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The livestock farm is the most popular type of farm in America.

B. The first settlers to America raised cash crop to make money.

C. The Homestead Act spread farmland across the country.

D. Much of the farmland was abandoned due to World War II.

28. The best title for the passage would be ____________.

A. The History of Farming in America

B. America?s Farming policies

C. The Best Farmland in the World

D. The Different Types of Farms in America

C

The English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.

One such example is the word matter. In fact, matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.

Let's get to the heart of the matter — a matter of principle (原则).

If someone says that you owe (欠) him $50, but you don't, a friend might say, “Well, you could pay him the $50. It's not that much money. Then you won't have to hear him say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. It's a matter of principle.

There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of words.

If you ask someone, “What's the matter?”, it shows you are worried about the othe r person. But saying, “What's the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “What's the matter with you?”, you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.

Another expre ssion that could sound rude is to say, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it depends on the context, and how you say it.

Let's say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it mean s he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.

But saying, “Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesn't matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this si tuation, “it doesn't matter” shows you are easy-going (随和的).

No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And it's only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter.

29. We can infer from the text that the word matter _____.

A. can mean money

B. has a wide use

C. is the most used English word

D. has the most different expressions

30. What is the author's suggestion in Paragraph 4?

A. Stick to what is right.

B. Every penny counts.

C. Follow your friend's advice.

D. Be careful when making friends.

31. The author develops the text mainly by _____.

A. giving instructions

B. describing his experiences

C. using examples

D. discussing research findings

D

As students, you are sure to take part in different forms of English examinations. Often the more successful students are those with better test-taking skills. Actually, test-taking skills really have nothing to do with understanding English better. They are skills that make taking the test easier, and therefore provide better results. Here are some very important—and often ignored—tips on taking a test successfully.

Do not insist on completing each question before going to the next. This is extremely important. Remember that one question may only be worth one point! You will become nervous when you fail to find out its answer, making you lose your concentration and leading to worse results. However, answering the questions that you are sure of makes you feel more relaxed and confident.

Go through the test a second time to work out the answers to more difficult questions, because sometimes some questions are answered in later questions that ask for different things.

Usually (but not always) a strong first impression means we know the answer and we needn?t think about it too much. Going back to think about it usually makes you unsure and often causes a mistake.

If you don?t know the answer, write something. If you are dealing with a question with four choices, do c hoose one, for you?ll still have a 25% chance of being correct!

Taking a test means a lot both to you and your teacher, so never cheat. If you do, you?ll end up harming yourself.

32. From Paragraph 1, we can know the importance of ______.

A. better test-taking skills

B. better test results

C. better preparations for exams

D. better English learning methods

33. Which of the following is the writer probably against?

A. Depending on first impressions sometimes.

B. Always writing something when not knowing the answer.

C. Never going back a second time in a test.

D. Going through the test again to answer difficult questions.

34. Who will benefit most from this passage?

A. Reporters.

B. Students.

C. Teachers.

D. Farmers.

35. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. Being Successful Students.

B. Effective Studying Methods.

C. Getting Confidence in Exams.

D. Effective Test-Taking Skills.

I have a friend named Monty who owns a horse ranch（牧场）. One day, he told me a story.

“There was a young man who was the son of a horse 41 . His father had to go from their house to ranch, training horses.”

“One day, the boy?s teacher asked the students to 42 a paper about what they wanted to be and do when they grew up. That night the boy finished a seven-page paper 43 his dream of owning a horse ranch. He even drew a 44 of a 4,000-square-foot house. But he 45 got a red F on the first page. The boy with the dream asked his teacher, …Why did I receive an F?? The teacher said, …This is a(n)46 dream for a young boy like you. Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of 47 .
