Question 21-25 are based on the following passage

High school graduation-----the bitter-sweet feelings are as much a part of me now as they were twenty-one years ago.

As graduation day approached, excitement increased. Being out of high school meant I was finally coming of age. Soon I would be on my own, making my own decisions, doing what I wanted and it meant going to school with boys--a welcome change coming from an all-girl high school.

There was never any question in my mind that I would go to a college away from home. My mother’s idea, on the other hand, was just the opposite. Trying her best not to force her ideas on me, she would subtly (含蓄地) ask whether I had considered particular schools--all of which happened to be located in or near my hometown of Chicago. Once it was established that, if it was financially feasible (可行的), I would go away anyway, my family’s ideas changed. Their concern shifted from whether I was going away to how far I would go. The schools I was considering on the East Coast suddenly looked far more attractive than those in California.

But which college I would attend was just one of what seemed like a never-ending list of unknowns. What would college be like? Would I be unbearably lonely not knowing anyone else who was going to the same school? What if the college I selected turned out to be a horrible mistake?

Then panic set in. My feelings took a 180-degree turn.

21. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the writer according to the

passage? ________.

A) She graduated from a high school for girls only.

B) She wanted to leave home forever.

D) Her family was strongly against her leaving home.

22. The writer was excited about her graduation because_______.

A) that means she could go to work away from home

B) that means she would be independent

C) she could invite her friends home

D) she would be allowed to go out with boys

23. The writer’s mother asked her whether she had considered particular schools

because her mother wanted______.

A) her to try different schools

B) her to stay at home

C) her to go to an all-girl college

D) her to go to a college near home

24. The writer would go away from home________.

A)to find a better university

B)if her parents agree to let her go

C)if she had the money

D)no matter what might happen to her

25.Why did the writer’s feeling take a 180-degree turn in the end? _______.

A)Because she was not sure about her college life.

B)Because she was lonely in her choice of college

C)Because in fact she was afraid of leaving her family,

D)Because the college she selected was a horrible mistake.

Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:

Early last season, I wrote an article about a random (随意的) act of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the Stadium (体育馆) after a game.

The day after the article was published, I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said: “I read what you wrote about Jordan, and I thought I should tell you what I saw.”

Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not nice.

What the caller said, though, was this: he and his wife had been to a football game, and their car had broken down. They’d had to wait about 45 minutes after the end of the game to get a taxi ride to the suburbs.

“We were four blocks from the stadium in a bad area, and at one corner under a streetlight was Jordan’s car,” the man said, “He was standing outside the car, talking with some boys from the neighborhood. It was late at night, and they were just talking.

I thought it was nice of him, but I wonder why he stopped.”

A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that dark neighborhood?

“Not two boys,” Jordan said. “But four. I see them every night.”

Every night? Why?

He smiled. “If I don’t stop, I’ll go home knowing they’re waiting for me anyway,” he said. “If you knew my four guys you’d know that they’re going to be out there whether it’s raining or snowing…they’re there.”

26.What is the usual reaction if someone is praised according to the write? _______.

A) They will show no interest

B) They will tell something similar

C) They will want to know more

D) They will speak badly of the person

27. The man from the western suburbs called the writer to________.

A) expose Jordan’s secret C) say something good about Jordan

B) tell him about Jordan’s bad side D) make clear of some facts

28. What does the word “dark” in para.6 mean? _________.

A) Distant C) Wild.

B) Backward D) Dirty.

29. Jordan stopped to talk to those boys every night to_______.

A) have fun C) keep his promise

B) build up his fame D) avoid disappointing them

30. It can be inferred from the passage that______.

A) Jordan knows the way to attract fans.

B) Jordan is the man who cares about others.

C) Jordan is the man who doesn’t mind others’ view.

D) Jordan tries every means to please the public.

Questions31-35 are based on the following passage.

One summer day my father sent me to buy wire and fencing for our farm. At 16, I like nothing better than getting behind the wheel of our family pickup,but this time there was something bothering me. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit at the store.

Sixteen is a proud age, when a young man wants respect, not pity. It was 1976, and the ugly shadow of racism was still a fact of life in some parts of the country. I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then be rudely asked whether they were “good for it”.

My family was honest. We paid our debt. But before harvest, cash was short. Would the store owner trust us?

At Davis Brothers General Store, Buck Davis stood behind the register, talking to a farmer. Buck was a tall, weathered man in red hunting shirt, and I nodded as I passed him on my way to the hardware counter. When I bought my purchases to the register, I said carefully. “I need to put this on credit.”

The farmer gave me a strange look. But Buck’s face didn’t change. “Sure,” he said easily. “Y our daddy is good for it.”He turned to the other man. “This boy is one of James Williams’ sons.”

The farmer nodded in a friendly way. I was filled with pride. James Williams’ son. Those three words had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust.

That day I discovered that a good name was of great value. The good name my father and mother had earned brought our whole family the respect of our neighbors. Everyone knew what to expect from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word and respected himself too much to do wrong.

The servants were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow (暗淡的光) of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday morning, the glow had become so bright that one of the servants, Jane, woke her master to see it. Pepys went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them after the servants had cleaned everything. While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard that the fire was a bad one: three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. Someone told him that the fire had started in a

World of the Future Scientists think that wonderful things may come true in the future. Future means a time that is not yet here. It can be a short time from now or a long time from now. Some of the underwater wonders are almost ready to come true now. Others won't come tree, we think, until a long time from now. Some, of course, may never come true--but who knows for sure? They may. What are some of the wonders that may come true in the future? A world underground The green utopia (an ideally perfect place) underground is going to help us regain a more harmonious relationship between the often opposing sides of large-scale development and our ecosystem. The city may be called Alice City, from Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland, which offers a wonderful world that is almost as fantastical as that was described in the book. A large clear dome (圆顶), within an area of open parkland, leads into a multi-leveled structured metropolis of underground offices, housing, transportation and public areas. There will be everything to make the city as self-sufficient as possible including shopping malls, theatres and sports complexes in addition to facilities (contained in a separate structure) for power generation, heating and waste recycling. Apart from offering an almost limitless space for development, such underground development has many more attractive ecological advantages over traditional forms of housing. It is less disturbing than high rise development and therefore favorable in environmentally sensitive areas. Land above the complex can be set aside for parkland and recreational use. In towns or cities where pollution levels are high, air can be filtered through air pipes in the roof of an underground housing or industrial complex. A world underwater At the docks you step into a shiny metal submarine that is shaped like a shark. The door is closed behind you, and powerful engine starts to push. Down slides the submarine--like a shark diving. Deeper and deeper under the water. Soon all sunlight is gone. The headlights of the diving ship are turned on. Then, six miles below, you come to the sea bottom. From the diving submarine, you change to tiny jet boat and ride along close to the bottom of the ocean, almost as you would skim over the land in an air-plane. As you travel, you have fun looking out the window at the sights on the bottom of the ocean. You see strange fish and underwater mountains, cliffs, and valleys. But more than that--hotels and mining camps and farms and factories! A world in space Let's go back to dry land and take a future journey the other way-up instead of down. Huge rocket liners take you into space to visit the Moon Camp. You walk around on the moon in a special moon suit. You visit an observatory where a giant telescope looks far into space--farther than anyone has ever been able to see from Earth. You go deep down into one of the moon mines. After you have visited the moon, you visit the Mars Colony and the Venus Exploration Outpost. A new world on the Earth Let's go back to Earth. In the far, far future, girls--and boys, too--may be playing with dolls that look like the people of the planets visited by our spacemen. To control or run all kinds of toys, boys and girls may learn to use special computers --machines that answer questions and do arithmetic faster than you can blink. Bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet power, and a new thing to ride may be a small flying saucer. Imagine a race between them! There may be telepathy (心灵感应) helmets that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on! Robots There will be other surprises in the future. How would you like to have a robot playmate? Having robot playmates may not be-so much fun as it seems. But maybe a boy with a wrench (扳手) and a screwdriver can fix the robot so that it won't be too perfect! Food What about the food of the future? Scientists think that much of it will be artificial --made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air, and water. You don't think that ice-cream or cake or candy or even bread and potatoes made out of these things will taste very good? You may be wrong. These artificial things will be blended so skillfully by food chemists that the food of the future probably will be delicious. It probably will also be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it. A longer life Scientists of the future will almost certainly find other ways to make life last longer. They probably will find cures for most diseases. Hospitals will probably have "body banks" that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years. TV Are you wondering whether there'll be television in the future? There'll almost certainly be wonderful programs. Television screens probably will be large and flat, hanging on the wall or going across the four walls of a room. People on the screen will look as real as if they were right in the room with you. Highways What about highways of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Nobody will need to steer. Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the "driver" wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to smash together. Controls that won't even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving by car will be as safe as being at home. Weather control But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you won't have to worry about rain. It will rain only when the "weatherman" thinks it is needed to freshen the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm. The future should be a wonderful time in which to live. But the time you axe living in now was also "a wonderful future" to the people who lived 100 years ago. 1. The underground city would get its name from a book called Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland. A. Y B. N C. NG 2. The multi-leveled structure underground would include everything that is necessary to a city, from offices, shopping malls to power and heating system. A. Y B. N C. NG

Education is all enormous and expensive part of American life. Its size is matched by its variety. Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone—not just for a privileged elite(精英,精华 . Schools ale expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing, sewing , radio repair, computer programming or driver training , along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics , history, and languages. Students choose their curricula(课程 depending on their interests, future goals, and level of ability. The underlying(潜在的 goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness. Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and “Americanizing” the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns . The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead , Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities. Students spend much time, learning how to use resource materials libraries, statistics and computers. Americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives . Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts . This is America’s answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast-moving time:“How Can one prepare today’s child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand?”
