21、The blue whale is the largest animal on Earth. It can weigh up to 173,000 kg and grow as long as 30 meters. Adult female (雌性的) blue whales are larger than adult males. The blue whaled heart alone is the size of a small car!

The blue whale lives mostly in cold and temperate (温和的) waters. It prefers deeper ocean waters. Blue whales usually live alone or in pairs, although they may go in groups to find food. And paired adult blue whales are usually a male and a female. Often, the same two whales will be seen together for a long time. The large part of food for them is shrimps (小虾) and they can eat a lot of shrimps at a time. Blue whales have very deep voices. The sound a blue whale makes can travel thousands of miles in deep waters. So the whales may be able to communicate with each other across oceans.

However, blue whales face a serious problem. In 1931 alone, almost 30,000 blue whales were killed. By 1966 there had been so few blue whales that the international Whaling Commission (国际捕鲸委员会) called for the whale protection. In 2000 it was found that there were fewer than 10,000 left.

B．It is clear that blue whales are very heavy and large in size.

C．Adult female blue whales are smaller than adult males.

D．The blue whale’s heart is as big as a small car.

【2】Why do people think that blue whales may be able to communicate across oceans?

A．Because their sounds can travel a long distance.

B．Because they usually live alone or in pairs.

C．Because they live mostly in cold and temperate waters.

D．Because they have very big throats to make sounds.

【3】Which of the following aspects (方面) about blue whales does the passage NOT tell us?

22、Do you know the story about Vince? It was a true story. Vince was an English boy and he was eight years old. He didn't like soap or water.

23、Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.

To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short term and long term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it’s organized(有条理的). When you put away a book—or memory—you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.

How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is “height”, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.

【1】In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because ________.

A．they are too worried

B．is like a very big lake with lots of fishes

D．is bad for students’ study

A．reading as often as possible

B．writing emails to the people you know

C．taking many photos about them

D．making pictures in your mind with the words

【5】This passage mainly tells us about ________.

A．how to improve ways to remember words

B．language students’ problems in study

C．short term and long term memory

D．how to make the meaning of words stronger

24、   Classic books never go out of fashion. The book The Outsiders first came out in 1967. Although the book is old, it is still worth reading. It is written by US writer S.E.Hinton.

The book tells the story of a 14-year-old boy called Ponyboy Curtis. He struggles with difficult issues of right and wrong in a society where he is an outsider. The story took place in Oklahoma, US, in 1965.

In the book, the children are divided into two groups. One includes Curtis and Greasers. It is mostly made up of poor kids. They have longer hair and often smoke at a young age. The other group is called the Socs, which is made up of rich children. They wear expensive clothes and drive high-tech cars. Those two groups do not get along well. The book only shows us two weeks of the boys' life.

I was touched by the friendship among the boys. When any of them has a problem, the others will help. Although they are not well educated(教育), they are kind and brave. For example, when Johnny was hurt and in hospital, his friends visited him almost every day. They brought him food and told him interesting stories. I always dream of having a strong friendship like this.

This book shows the good personalities(品质) in those ordinary people. I advise that teenagers read this book and I hope they can enjoy it.

【1】What does the writer mean by saying " Classic books never go out of fashion."?

A.Books for classroom reading are popular.

B.Good books are worth reading all the time.

C.Students should read some fashionable books.

【5】The writer wrote this passage to _____________.

25、There is always something unforgettable in my life, especially the story between my friend and me.

Here is a story. On a rainy day, I s【1】 fell down and hurt myself badly. My left leg was b【2】. So I had to stay in hospital for about one month and I was worried a【3】 my study. Then my friend Mingming came to see me. When he knew about that, he said he could help me with my study. On h【4】 this, I didn’t feel worried anymore. From that day on, he taught me every day.
