21、The new book Harry Potter and the Half­Blood(哈利·波特与混血王子) is warmly welcomed by the children in China. It sells well across China. You can see and hear the advertisements about the book here and there.

Why is the book so popular？After reading it,I was attracted(吸引)by the magic world. I can't help asking：where is our own Harry Potter？China has a long history and colorful culture. However,why are our present books not as good as those foreign ones？

22、In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers (探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why are you travelling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?" they asked.

H. G. Wells could only imagine the travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.

Underground systems (体系) are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Chunnel", a tunnel connecting England and France, is now completed.

But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called "Alice Cities". The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.

Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a

good way to use the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H. G. Wells's "moon people" would agree. Would you?

【1】The explorers in H. G. Wells's story were surprised to find that the "moon people"

__________________.

A. knew so much about the Earth   B. understood their language

C. lived in so many underground cities   D. were ahead of them in space technology

【2】What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Discovering the moon's inner space.   B. Using the Earth's inner space.

C. Meeting the "moon people" again.   D. Travelling to outer space.

【3】What kind of underground systems are already here with us?

A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.   B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.

C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.   D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.

【4】Which of the following is true?

A. H. G. Wells travelled to the moon in 1901.

B. People today know there are a lot of "moon people" and underground cities.

C. In 1969, human beings landed on the moon.

D. Scientists are seriously thinking about how to use the moon.

【5】What would be the best title for the text?

A. Alice Cities--Cities of the Future   B. Space Travel with H. G. Wells

C. Enjoy Living Underground   D. Building Down, Not Up

23、Shirley, an elephant, has something to say. She opens her mouth and speaks. The nearby elephants understand the sound, but it is just noise to me.

What is Shirley exactly saying? Scientists are not sure, but they are trying to find out how elephants communicate. I visited Shirley at the Elephant Sanctuary (避难所) in Hohenwald, Tennessee. The sanctuary is home of Shirley and five other elephants —Bunny, Jenny, Sissy, Tarra and Winkie. All six animals were once in zoos or circuses (马戏团). Now they walk freely in the forests.

A noisy group

Not all the elephants speak like Shirley. Tarra speaks like a sea lion when she is happy. Bunny squeaks (吱吱叫) often. I soon get used to hearing the different voices of the elephants. When one gray giant comes close to me, I know which elephant it is.

Elephants also communicate in a way that people can’t hear. Scientists believe that elephant’s sound can travel for miles. Elephants in a group use it to keep in touch when they are alone.

       Old friends

       The elephants speak to one another for the same reasons people talk. Sometimes they even shout with excitement. When Shirley first came to the sanctuary, Jenny looked at her and began to shout. Shirley shouted back. At first, the animal keepers had no idea what it was about. Later, they discovered that Shirley and Jenny had stayed together for 20 years earlier in a circus. They still knew each other.

_________________________

There are two kinds of elephants—Asian elephants and African elephants. In the wild, both kinds are endangered. In 1970, almost 2 million Asian elephants lived in the wild in Southeast Asia.

25、首字母填空

Some people have very good memory and can easily learn quite long poems( 诗) by heart. O 【1】have poor memory and can only remember things when they have said again and a 【2】. The famous English writer, Charles Dickens, said that he could walk down a 【3】long street in London and then tell you the n 【4】of every shop on both sides of the street. Many great men of the world have wonderful memory. A good memory is a great help in learning a language.
