21、For most of human history, people thought the world was flat (平的). That is, they thought that if you traveled far enough in one direction, you would come to the edge of the world in the end. Then, about two thousand years ago, people started to come up with the idea that the earth was round. This meant that by traveling far enough in a straight line, you would finally come back to where you started.

It wasn’t until the sixteenth century that Ferdinand Magellan’s exploring team became the first to travel around the world. The exploring team first moved west from Portugal, around South America, across the Pacific, before returning around South Africa back to Portugal. Although Magellan died during the journey, one of his captains, Sebastian del Cano, made it all the way.

In 1872, the French science novel writer Jules Verne wrote a book called Around the World in 80 Days. The novel was about a man who traveled around the world, starting from London, to win a game.

In 1889, an American journalist, Nellie Bly, was sent by her newspaper to follow the journey taken by the characters in Verne’s book. She traveled around the world, sending letters back to her newspaper about her journey. She finally arrived back home after her trip, taking 72 days, six hours, eleven minutes, and fourteen seconds to go around the world.

Even though traveling around the world these days is very easy, and can be done in one or two days by plane, people are still interested in breaking records. From 1970 to 1974, an American, Dave Kunst, was the first person to walk all the way around the world. He wore out twenty one pairs of shoes on his trip! The first airplane flight round the world took place in 1924, done by Lt. Lowell H. Smith and five other Americans, and the first solo helicopter (直升机) flight around the world was done by an Australian explorer, Dick Smith, in 1982-1983.

As for a nonstop balloon flight all the way around the world, this wasn’t done until 2002, when Steve Fossett from the US finally succeeded after many tries.

【1】Who first said that the world was NOT flat?

A．Ferdinand Magellan.

B．Nellie Bly.

C．Jules Verne.

D．The passage doesn’t say.

【2】In the sixteenth century ______.

A．Ferdinand Magellan first tried to reach the world’s edge

B．it took the first exploring team 80 days to come back to Portugal

C．a captain named Sebastian del Cano traveled around the world

D．the first exploring team had to pass through five countries during the journey

【3】Which of these people did NOT go on a round-the-world journey?

A．Lowell H. Smith.

B．Jules Verne.

C．Dick Smith.

D．Steve Fossett.

【4】From the passage we know that ______.

A．an exploring team had been to the edge of the world about 2,000 years ago

B．today people can travel around the world in two days by plane if they want to

C．during the first airplane flight around the world only one American succeeded

D．since 1872 ten Americans have traveled around the world according to the passage

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

A．Both Jules Verne and Nellie Bly wrote about traveling around the world.

B．About one hundred years ago, a Frenchman traveled around the world in 80 days.

C．It took Dave Kunst more than 6 years to travel around the world on foot.

D．In 2002 an Australian flew all the way around the world by ballooning.

22、   Many people say dolphins are intelligent. They seem to be able to think, understand and learn things quickly. But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs? Dolphins use their brains quite differently from the way humans do. But scientists say dolphins and humans are very similar in some ways. How?

Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. The name is a special whistle(哨声). Each dolphin chooses a specific(特有的) whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “talk” to each other about a lot of things—such as their age, their feelings, and finding food. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.

Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods, and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun—just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only intelligent animals do.

Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both species make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent plan to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal(发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins help the men? There is an advantage for them: they get to eat some of the fish that escape(逃脱) from the net.

【1】What is a dolphin's “name”？

A.It is a kind of game.

B.It is a body sign.

C.It is a dolphin's age.

D.It is a specific sound.

【2】Scientists believe ________ is something only intelligent animals do.

A.singing songs B.playing together C.finding food D.making decisions

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A.Some scientists can understand dolphins' system of sounds.

B.Dolphins probably help fishermen by using their body language.

C.Humans join dolphins' groups to get things we want.

D.Dolphins can talk to humans about their age and their feelings.

【4】What's the main idea of the passage?

A.Dolphins can communicate with each other at birth.

B.Dolphins are social animals because they play together.

C.Dolphins are smart and are like humans in some ways.

D.Dolphins help humans do many things like catching fish.

23、Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.

When to arrive

The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you to his/her house, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3:00”, that means you can arrive a few minutes after 3:00, but it is also a good idea to arrive at the right time.

What to bring

Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share(分享), or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift(=present) is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.

How to greet (问候)

When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr. or Mrs. Smith. This will show them more respect(尊重).

It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend’s parents, and you will be invited again!

【1】If your friend asks you to get to your friend’s house around 5:00 p. m, it is polite to arrive at ____ p.m.

A．5:02

B．4:50

C．4:30

D．5:30

【2】The passage mainly(主要)tells us ______.

D．some money

【4】It’s the most respect for you to call your friend’s father _____ when you go to the friend’s house.

24、Located in one of Beijing’s most active art communities, the “loneliness” museum is always crowded and busy, but everyone here says they are lonely. Divided into 13 sections including an office at night, the last subway, a hot pot restaurant and a hospital, the museum displays（陈列）over 1,000 lonely stories from different people, with words of encouragement and ways to deal with solitude written on the walls and the stairs.

The national mental health index reduces with age in the teenage stage（12 to 18 years old）and gradually rises in adulthood（18 to 55 years old）, showing that people will experience a period of mental health downturn during their youth. Teens can have thousands of friends online and yet feel unsupported and lonely. Technology, including social media, could be speeding up social loneliness. “Empty-nest（空穴）” youths are those who live alone and usually work in cities.

It’s possible that people get more used to loneliness as they get older, possibly through the experience of important life events and life changes.

It is comforting that our society is also more tolerant（宽容的）and gentle towards this kind of youth group, often encouraging and supporting them to face up to this crazy changing world bravely. In a room of the museum, with three bicycles, strangers can ride at the same time to light up the bulbs on the wall, which forms a sentence— “loneliness comes together with love”.

【1】You can visit the “loneliness “museum in _________.

A．Shanghai

B．Beijing

C．many places

D．big cities

【2】According to the passage, the museum includes 13 sections EXCEPT _________.

A．a hot pot restaurant

B．a hospital

C．the last subway

D．a cafe

【3】The underlined word “solitude” in Paragraph 1 probably has the similar meaning with “_________”.

A．happiness

B．excitement

C．loneliness

D．sadness

【4】From Paragraph 2 and 3, we can know that _________.

A．old people feel lonelier than teenagers of 12—18 years old

B．social isolation may increase with the technology, like social media

C．“empty-nest” youths usually live in the countryside and without work

D．people will not get used to the loneliness when they become older

【5】The last sentence of the passage “loneliness comes together with love” will _________.

A．appear on the floor in the “loneliness” museum

B．encourage the young to face up the world bravely

C．appear when you and your friends ride the three bikes to light up the bulbs

D．disappear when strangers ride the three bikes at the same time to light up the bulbs

25、Here is the story of how the teddy bear was born.

Nearly 100 years ago, President Theodore Roosevelt(罗斯福), whose nickname was Teddy, went on a bear hunt. He e【1】 hunting in the woods. Because he was the president of the USA, the people who o【2】 the hunt wanted to make it successful.

But after three days of walking and climbing and riding, no bears were f【3】! The next day the hunt guide and his hunting dogs f【4】 found a bear. The dogs and the guide followed the bear for quite a distance(距离) until the bear was too tired to run. The dogs attacked(攻击) and hurt the bear. To stop it from running away, the guide t【5】 the bear to a tree and called the president to the site. Here was a bear for him to shoot! President Roosevelt came, looked at the poor bear and said “No”. He ordered that the old bear should be let go.

Mr Berryman, a cartoonist, heard of this story. He drew a cartoon showing how the President refused to shoot the bear while h【6】. Mr Michtom, owner of a store, came up with an idea by the cartoon. He and his wife made a toy bear and put it in his store window. Next to it w【7】 a copy of the cartoon. To his surprise, many people showed great i【8】 in the toy and hoped to own one.
