21、A long time ago, there were no elephants in China. One day, a Chinese emperor(皇帝) received an elephant as a gift from another country.

People were very excited to see this big animal. Lots of people had a question: How much did it weigh(称量)?   But there was a problem: How to weigh it? At that time, no scales(称) in China were big enough to weigh such a big animal.

The emperor had a six-year-old son named Cao Chong. He said, “Father, I know how to weigh it.” The ministers(大臣) didn’t believe the boy. But after he told them his idea, they all thought it was a good one.

“Here’s what you do,” said the boy, “Let the elephant stand in a big boat on the water. Draw a line on the side of the boat at the water level. Then let the elephant off the boat. Collect a lot of big stones. Put the stones on the boat until the boat falls to the same water level. Then take the stones out of the boat and weigh them one by one. Put the weight of each stone together. Now you know how much the elephant weighs.

23、   The science museum is a major museum on Exhibition Road in South Kensington in London. It was founded in 1857 and today is one of the city’s main tourist attractions. In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything. However, the Science Museum is different because it is busy and noisy. People talk about what they can see and do there, and some machines（机械）also work. It’s a good way to learn about science, because you can find the answer and try the idea.

At the Science Museum, I always visit OFF Floor that is quite crowded. This is my favorite because physical experiment（实验）can be done in it. If you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to drive a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the right place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again.

I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communications and the environment as well as math, physics, and chemistry. For example, you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy（能量）. And in one room they even explain how X-rays let you see inside your body.

Then when we go to the fourth floor, Glimpses of Medical History, you can learn about what medicine（药）was like in the past, with exhibits of medical instrument and practices from old days and from many countries. If you compare the medicine of past with the medicine of today, you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor!

The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. You can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. You don’t need to spend money entering it, so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It is open daily from 10 am. to 6 pm. There, you can do many things, but you have to follow some rules. For example, you can not shoot exhibits. But you can buy postcards about them in the museum shop.

So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It is one of the most attractive museums around the world!

【1】According to Paragraph 1, how is the Science Museum different from most museum?

A.There is no shouting and no running.

B.You must not touch anything.

C.You cannot talk about what you see.

D.You can try the idea about science.

【2】Why is Off Floor popular?

A.Because you can find out how people travel into space.

B.Because there are lots of physical experiments.

C.Because you compare medicine in the past with today.

D.Because people can find out how they dig coal.

【3】If you are interested in public health, you’d better visit_______.

A.the first floor B.the second floor

C.the third floor D.the fourth floor

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Doctors are much better today than those in the past

B.The history of the museum is shorter than 160 years

C.You can buy something at the Science Museum

D.You have to pay for the tickets to the museum

【5】We can learn ________ from the Science Museum.

A.how to see a doctor next time

B.how to create energy by using coal

C.how to dig coal by using energy

D.how to get an X-ray inside your body

24、阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。

“What are you going to be when you grow up?” That’s a common question for most 【1】 (child). I remember I first got this question 【2】 an early age. One day my cousin asked me that question. My father 【3】 (know) me very well. Before I said something, my father 【4】 (quick) answered. “Karen is going to be a doctor.”

I didn’t question my father’s words at that time. That’s because I never wanted to do anything other than 【5】 (save) people’s lives. I really wanted to be a doctor when I grew 【6】.

I remember my parents always said to me, “You can be a doctor, an engineer or a 【7】 (teach). You can even make the soccer team to play soccer. It’s up to (取决于) 【8】 (you) to decide what you do. You just need to try your best to make it.”

When I started my college, I studied all the time. I remember my dad calling me once a week, 【9】 I always didn’t hear it. After I finished my study in the library, I would call him back. I got up an hour earlier than others to study every day.
