Snakes can swallow(吞下) things that are bigger around than they themselves are. This is possible because the jawbones(腭骨) are loosely joined, and the mouth can stretch（伸展）to make room for a fat animal. The snake’s slim body stretches to make space for the animal when it is ‎ inside.       Many snakes eat birds’ eggs or frogs（青蛙）. Others eat pests（害虫）, mice and other animals that harm crops on farms. Because snakes do this valuable work, you should never kill one. It is too dangerous for you to kill a poisonous one. Leave that job to experts.‎ 21. Which of the following groups of food is usually had by a snake?      A. Mice, crops, birds’ eggs.      B. Pests, frogs, some animals, plants.      C. Birds’ eggs, frogs, all animals, other snakes.      D. Mice, frogs, pests, some animals, other snakes. 22. We should not kill a snake because              A. it is poisonous                 B. it can do something useful for man      C. it will strike you in return    D. we are not experts 23. Snakes may do some valuable work by              A. eating pests, mice and some harmful animals      B. doing harm to other animals      C. eating birds’ eggs and frogs      D. both A and C 24. In writing this passage the writer mainly wants us to              A. have a better impression(印象) about snakes.‎ B. like snakes      C. kill snakes with the help of experts      D. regard snakes as one of man’s best friends B I have a neighbor we call “Happy”. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻) word to anyone or about anyone.Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we al so had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard. Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food fest”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place. By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty（收成）of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift! Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants! 25. We can infer that Happy and her husband Ben_______. A. don’t like spending time with others    B. sometimes quarrel with each other C. live on the food they grow in their garden   D. are a generous and warm-hearted couple 26. According to paragraph 2, people wish they also had a garden so that_______. A. they didn’t have to spend so much money on food B. they could grow vegetables and sell at the market C. they could invite their neighbors and hold parties in it D. they could spend happy times together with their family in it 27. For what purpose did Happy and Ben invite the neighbors to their garden? A. To ask them to attend a birthday party B. To help them get to know each other. C. To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden. D. To ask them to share some interesting stories. 28. What did the writer most probably think of the time he spent in the ‎ garden? A. It was too long       B. It was wonderful. C. It was not as good as he thought.   D. It was too terrible. C Everyone would like to be a millionaire , a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun. Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role. For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (热心的) about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters . 29 We can infer (推断) from the text that most millionaires are __________.    A. older than 20     B. around 20     C. in their 30s     D. in their 40s 30. Which of the following is not true according to the text?    A. Though young, Britney can support her family now.    B. While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.    C. The teenage comedy movie was based on Britney’s own story.    D. Britney will be even richer with her movies successful. 31. According to Britney Spears, she works _‎ ‎_________.    A. to be a great actress   ‎ B. for the enjoyment   ‎ C. for money    ‎ D. to be more famous D I came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.     After the accident .my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.     But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.     My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.      Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.  32. The author’s roommate offered to help him because________.   A. he felt sorry for the author   B. he thought it was a chance to make some money   C. he knew the doctor was a very good ‎ one   D. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer 33. The word“charge”in the third paragraph means_________ .   A. be responsible     B. accuse     C. ask as a price   D. claim 34. Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very__________.   A. friendly     B. selfish   C. professional  D. busy 35. What conclusion can you draw from the story?   A. Going to court is something very common in America.   B. One must be very careful while driving a car.   C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides.   D. Money is more important than other things in the US.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Do you know Australia? Australia is the largest island in the world.
