21、Huck is my name, Huckleberry Finn. I live in the town of St. Petersburg in the state of Missouri. It is a small town but it is near a very big river called Mississippi. This is a story of a journey that I made down the river on a raft and the adventures I had on the way.

It all started when my best friend, Tom Sawyer and I found $ 12,000 in a cave. That money made us rich. We got $ 6, 000 each. Judge Thatcher, an important man in St. Petersburg, put it in the bank, and now we get a dollar a day interest (利息).

Then a kind old lady called Widow Douglas invited me to live with her. Because I haven’t got a family or a home. My mother died a long time ago, then my dad, Pap, went away. He was an unkind man especially when he drank a lot, which was most of the time, and he often beat me. I was afraid of him. I didn’t go to school like the other boys of my age. I lived on the streets and in the woods.

My life changed after I lived with the widow (寡妇). She gave me a bed to sleep in and bought new clothes for me. She read stories to me and taught me how to eat at a table.

But then her sister Miss Watson arrived. She brought Jim with her. I liked Jim but I didn’t like Miss Watson very much. She often shouted at me.

“Don’t put your feet on the table. Huckleberry! Sit up straight! Why don’t you try and behave well, Huckleberry?”

22、For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted to the cold dry climates of the ice age, but until now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.

Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming. Nowadays, the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year; equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the U. K. each year. But how will the Amazon react to future climate change? If it gets drier, will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.

On the one hand, getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult. On the other hand, to study past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud. Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments (沉淀物), which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and planes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rives completely unsampled. So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.

【1】Scientists have been arguing about how the Amazon might have ________ the cold dry climates of the ice age.

A．changed in response to

B．destroyed

C．influenced

D．protected

【2】Rainforests are important for ________ CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming.

A．taking in

B．releasing

C．increasing

D．producing

【3】Nowadays, the CO2 the trees in the Amazon remove equals to the total amount of giving off in ________ each year.

A．the U.S.A.

B．the U.K.

C．England

D．Brazil

【4】Scientists research about how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past so that they may learn in advance about how the rainforests ________.

A．draw down CO2

B．still protect the soil

C．will get smaller

D．will manage in the future

【5】The way to go back to last ice age is to ________.

A．get into the forest

B．drill deep down into lake sediments

C．find some lake mud

D．look at fossilized pollen

【6】We may infer from the last paragraph that ________.

A．it’s possible to enter the Amazon through rivers to get enough information

B．so far, scientists have collected some information from the samples

C．it’s necessary to use helicopters for the research

D．there’s little information to study the past climate

23、   When I was in the seventh grade, I volunteered at a hospital during the summer vacation. Most of the time I was with Mr. Gillespie. He never had any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about him. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him. He became a close friend of mine, although he never replied to me. Mr. Gillespie was still in a coma (昏迷).

I was away for a week to go on vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie wasn't in the hospital. I didn't want to ask the nurses where he was. I was afraid they might tell me he was dead. However, I kept volunteering there for a long time.

Several years passed. One day, when I was at the gas station, I noticed a familiar face. I asked him if his name was Mr. Gillespie, and if he was in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied, "Yes." I explained how I knew him and what I did in the hospital. With tears in his eyes, he gave me a warm hug (拥抱).

He told me that when he was in a coma, he could hear me talking and feel me holding his hand. He thought it was an angel (天使), not a person, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie believed that my voice and touch kept him alive.

Although I haven't seen him since then, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference between his life and death. More importantly, he has made a very big difference to my life, too. I'll never forget him and what he did for me—he made me an angel.

24、   Many people use their mobile phones as the alarm clocks and are often used to check e—mails before sleeping.

Many years ago, my boss stayed up playing with her mobile phone and got badly ill because of that, Now she always leaves her phone in another room when going to sleep. And she encourages her friends to do so. "I sent each of my friends the same Christmas gift—an alarm clock. So they could stop using the phones as the alarm clocks, "she said.

If your mobile phone wakes you up in the morning, it may also keep you up at night. A study shows that people in mobile phone radiation（辐射）mostly have sleeping problems. And according to a Swedish study, a quarter of young people in this country feel like having their phones near them. Most of them feel sorry for not replying to messages, so they even have to reply to their friends before sleeping.

A recent study has shown that three quarters of people aged between 18 and 34 prefer to sleep with their phones near them. That number falls off a little in the middle age, but only people aged 65 and older like leaving the phones in another room while sleeping.
