Many of these customs tell stories about animals taking the teeth.‎ For example, Koreans have the custom of throwing the fallen tooth onto the roof of a house so that a magpie (喜鹊) can take the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child. This custom is also followed by some other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam.‎ Other countries, though, have tooth customs about other animals. In Mexico and Spain, for example, it is thought that a mouse takes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money. But in Mongolia, it is dogs that take children’s teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture. It is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog, so parents in Mongolia will put their children’s fallen teeth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog.‎ In France and the USA, a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. It is thought that in the early morning, when the child is still sleeping, the Tooth Fairy will take the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow. What she will leave is hard to know. It is said that in France the Tooth Fairy may leave some candies; however, in the United States, she may leave money.‎ ‎21．Koreans throw a tooth onto the roof of a house in order to __________.‎ A. get money B. feed magpies C. get candies D. get a new tooth ‎22．In Vietnam, if a child’s tooth falls out, he or she will __________.‎ A. throw it onto the roof of a house B. feed it to a mouse C. put it in a piece of meat and feed the meat to a dog D. leave it to the Tooth Fairy ‎23．From the last paragraph, we can know that in France and the USA _________.‎ A. a child will put his or her fallen tooth beside the pillow B. the Tooth Fairy takes the fallen teeth away at midnight C. the Tooth Fairy will leave some candies to the children after taking the fallen teeth away D. no one knows for sure what the Tooth Fairy will leave to the children after taking the fallen teeth away ‎24．The passage is mainly about ___________.‎ A. customs about fallen teeth in western countries B. customs about fallen teeth in different countries C. stories about human teeth D. stories about some animals B A large number of women in Western European countries wish that they were born men. The ‎ number is said as high as 60% in West Germany.‎ ‎“Women often wish that they had the same chance as men have, and believe it is still men’s world,” said Dr James Holden, one of the scientists who did the study.‎ Anne Harper has a very good job for an international oil company. She also believes in “Women’ s Liberation(解放)”.‎ ‎“I don’t wish that I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women. At work, for example, we often do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs that are usually the best ones and open only to men. If you’re a man, you have a much better chance of leading an exciting life. How many women pilots are there ... or engineers or scientists?”‎ ‎25．What can we learn from the first paragraph?‎ A. 60% women in West Germany wish that they were born men.‎ B. Most women in Western European countries wish that their babies were all boys.‎ C. 60% Western European women wish that they were born men.‎ D. 60% Western European women who wish that they were born men are from West Germany.‎ ‎26．“It is still men’s world.” means “______.”‎ A. There’re more men than women in the world B. There’re more men scientists or engineers than women scientists or engineers in the world C. Women have not been given the same chance as men D. Women cannot live without men ‎27．Which is not true about Anne Harper?‎ A. Anne Harper has a very good job for an international oil company B. she is one of the scientists who did the study.‎ C. She believes in “Women’ s Liberation.”‎ D. She doesn’t want to be a man.‎ C Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.‎ Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their relaxation.‎ Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore (忽略), but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.‎ If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.‎ The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.‎ A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier (滑雪者) is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.‎ ‎28． The main difference between a sport and a game lies in ______.‎ A. activity B. uniform C. rules D. skills ‎29． Mountaineering can be called a team sport because ______.‎ A. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing B. teams compete against each other C. it is an Olympic event D. there are five climbers on each team ‎30． Mountaineers compete against ______.‎ A. each other B. nature C. other teams D. international standards ‎31． Which of the following might be the best title?‎ A. How to Climb High Mountains B. Mountain Climbers C. Challenging Sports Activities D. Mountaineering D Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big dream—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.‎ One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.‎ With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.‎ It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.‎ Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next – door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''‎ ‎32．Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?‎ A. Because she didn't want others to hear her play B. Because she didn't mean to disturb others.‎ C. Because she didn't have her own room D. Because she didn’t like her neighbors.‎ ‎33．Brenda started to give concerts _______.‎ A. after she practiced in her space bubble B. when she became part of the unique space journey C. after she became a real musical astronaut D. when people came to see her in the space bubble ‎34．Brenda became famous because ______.‎ A. she was good at music and science B. she became a real musical astronaut C. she invented a special way of practice D. she played well and had a talent ‎35．It can be inferred from the text that: " _______".‎ A. He laughs best who laughs last B. It's never too old to learn C. Two heads are better than one D. One good turn deserves another 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。‎ Making Most Living Abroad ‎ Moving abroad can be a challenging experience. You leave your family, friends and everything you know behind. You enter a new culture where the customs and sometimes the languages are different.   16 .
