21、From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax (放松) and enjoy themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. It depends on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare time.
Almost everyone has some kinds of hobbies. It may be anything from collecting stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money; others are valuable only to their owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare (稀有的) fifty cent piece worth £250! He was very happy about his buying and thought the price was reasonable (合理的). On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt (怀疑) if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are very valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.
That’s what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.
【1】The underlined word “individual” in the first paragraph most probably means ________ .
A.one's own
B.different .
C.secret
D.strange
【2】In the writer's opinion, ________.
A.all hobbies are very expensive
B.hobbies are valuable to everybody
C.hobbies are worthless
D.some hobbies don't cost anything
【3】Something that one enjoys doing in one's spare time is a________.
A.job
B.hobby
C.pleasure
D.habit
【4】Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A.To have a hobby means to spend a lot of money.
B.We collect a subject in our spare time simply for the fun of it.
C.The pleasure that a hobby can give is important.
D.The writer's brother has a large collection of matchboxes, which makes him very happy.
22、My favourite book is The Adventure of Tom Sauyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri. He’s a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave. And finally, they find a box of gold.
My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral(葬礼). He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.
Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom’s best friend. And Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.
The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.
Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today its thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on-read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.
【1】Where does Tom run away with his two friends?
A.To a quiet street.
B.To a small town.
C.To an island.
D.To a forest.
【2】Who is the best friend of Tom in the story?
A.Huck Finn.
B.Joe.
C.Becky.
D.Polly.
【3】How did people feel when Tom appeared at his own funeral?
A.They were surprised and happy.
B.They were surprised and sad.
C.They were worried and excited.
D.They were frightened and happy.
【4】What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To recommend the book for you.
B.To explain the history of America.
C.To tell us when Mark Twain wrote the story.
D.To explain why the story sounds very real.
23、When asked about her childhood in the documentary Alive Inside, a 90-year-old woman with dementia replies,“I’ve forgotten so much.” Film-maker Michael Rossato-Bennett then plays music from her past for her. “That’s Louis Armstrong,” she says. “He’s singing When the Saints Go Marching In and it takes me back to my school days.” She then recalls exact details from her life.
Why does it happen? Music tends to accompany events that arouse emotions or otherwise make strong impressions on us—such as weddings and graduations. These kinds of experiences form strong memories, and the music and memories likely become intertwined(紧密相连) in our neural(神经的) networks, according to Julene Johnson, a professor at the University of California. Movements, such as dancing, also often pair with our experience of music, which can help form memories. Even many years later,hearing the music can bring back memories of these long-past events.
As Alive Inside shows,music has this power even for many people with dementia. Researchers note that the brain areas that process and remember music are typically less damaged by dementia than other areas, and they think it may explain the phenomenon.
They also pay attention to elderly people with dementia, especially those in nursing homes. “It’s possible those long-term memories are still there,” Johnson says,“but people just have a harder time accessing them because they’re in a strange place and there’re not a lot of circumstances in which someone could pull out those memories.”
Johnson also notes that music is not universally useful for all people with dementia since there are some people with dementia whose brain area that recognizes music is damaged.
Despite music’s apparent benefits, few studies have explored its influence on memory recall in people with dementia. “It’s really an untapped area,” Johnson says. Petr Janata is a researcher investigating the topic of music and memory. He says that scientists still do not have the answers to why and how music reawakens memories in people with dementia, but this phenomenon is real and it’s just a matter of time before it’s fully borne out by scientific research.
【1】What helps the old woman in Alive Inside recall her childhood?
A.The description of her school days
B.A film she watched before.
C.A song she listened to before.
D.The voice of her childhood friend.
【2】What benefit of music is discussed in paragraph 2?
A.It helps make lasting memories.
B.It helps cure patients of dementia.
C.It helps arouse emotions in special events.
D.It helps remember dance movements easily.
【3】According to Johnson, what should we do for elderly people with dementia?
A.Send them to nursing homes for good care.
B.Provide familiar environments for them.
C.Play lots of classical music to them.
D.Talk to them about their past.
【4】What do we know about the study into music and memory recall in people with dementia?
A.It is criticized by Petr Janata.
B.It is a ground-breaking study.
C.It is supported by solid evidence.
D.It applies to all people with dementia.
24、Our room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet, peaceful and fairly deserted (空寂无人的).
The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday center. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting close to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We couldn’t see his face and he was approaching (接近) us very rapidly. The man’s actions made my dad very anxious. Dad warned us that we’d better try to make it to our hotel room as quickly as possible. I didn’t like my dad’s voice. I could hear anxiety in it. It was late and we were all alone. We didn’t have any cellphones on us. I never saw Dad as anxious as he was then and I knew that something was terribly wrong. The sense of fear started to overwhelm Mom and me. We had had such a good time in town. Now, the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation.
We could hear the man’s footsteps getting closer. Dad’s face was almost pale. The so-called intruder (侵入者) had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden, the nearby vending (自动贩卖) machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight. My parents were shaking, but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all. Not a soul. It’s one vacation I will never forget.
