25、Choose the best answer

My favorite area in Britain is a country called Northumberland in the north-east of the country. I like it because it has mountains, the sea and history. The mountains are not very high. In China you would probably call them hills rather than mountains as they are less than 1,000 meters high, but there is something wild about these mountains you get a feeling of space and freedom. You can walk for miles without meeting another person.

Northumberland is full of history. There are seven castles, some of them were ruined and the others still there as they were centuries ago. You can find graves going back to prehistoric（史前的）, times and strange carvings on rocks which nobody understands. The coast line is dramatic too, with beautiful sandy beaches. These beaches are rarely crowded because the weather is unpredictable and the North Sea is very cold! People don’t go for seaside holidays to Northumberland because of the cold sea and weather, so even in high season there aren’t many tourists.

There is an island called Holy Island off the coast of Northumberland, you can get to the island by car or on foot when the tide is out. There is also one castle I particularly like. It is a 14th century castle which stands on a cliff right by the sea. The castle is almost completely ruined, but it looks dramatic and romantic because you can still see the gate and two of its owners. On a summer’s day you can lie on the beach nearby and let your mind wander as you look at this dream-like castle. On a winter’s day you can walk to the castle and watch the waves crash into the cliff, wondering how this castle has stood so long against the forces of nature.

I once said to a friend of mine that I thought this castle by the sea was the most beautiful place in the world. She laughed and said there must be many more dramatic places in the world. In one way, I’m sure she’s right, but for me, it’s not just about what a place looks like, it’s about what it says to you.

【1】In China people probably call them mountains which are ______ 1,000 meters high.

A. less than   B. nearly   C. more than   D. almost

【2】How are the seven castles in Northumberland?

A. They are modern and fantastic.   B. They are all complete and magnificent.

C. Some hasn’t changed at all for centuries.   D. Some are full of strange carvings.

【3】Not many people visit the beautiful beach because of ______.

A. the soft sands   B. the cold sea and weather

C. the warm sea   D. the island nearby

【4】Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the reason why the author likes the 14th century castle?

A. It was built in the 14th century on a cliff right by the sea.

B. It looks very dramatic and romantic with two towers but no gate.

C. The author can let his mind wander as he looks at this dream-like castle.

D. The author can walk to the castle and watch the waves crash into the cliff.

【5】From the last paragraph in the passage, we know ______.

A. the author’s friend agreed on his opinion about the castle.

B. the author doesn’t think there are many more dramatic places in the world.

C. the author’s friend pays no attention to the beautiful scenery.

D. what the author cares is not only the scenery but also the feeling he can get from it.

【6】You can get the passage from the following materials EXCEPT ______.

A. science fiction   B. journals   C. newspapers   D. magazines

26、Mobile phone has become a problem for middle school. Some middle schools in Australia have banned(禁止) students from carrying mobile phones during school hours.
