We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its problems too.‎ One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.‎ Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you taste in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising --- and. what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.‎ Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is. when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.‎ ‎21. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?‎ A. Staying on the farm. B. Leaving home for the city.‎ C. Moving to the countryside. D. Running away from the school.‎ ‎22. Which of the following is true about the writer?‎ A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health.‎ C. He prefers driving a car. D. He lives in the city now.‎ ‎23. In the passage, the writer tries to __________.‎ A. describe his life in the countryside B. express his opinions about way of life C. an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city B Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?‎ Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book forever and read it many times.‎ Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books., science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.‎ ‎24. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.‎ A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information C. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself D. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun ‎25. What does the sentence “Television has not killed reading, however ” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?‎ A. People only need reading, though.‎ B. Reading is more fun than television.‎ C. Reading is still necessary today.‎ D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.‎ ‎26. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Fewer and fewer people will buy books.‎ B. A good dictionary should be kept in every home.‎ C. Books with hard covers sell better than paperbacks.‎ D. More people like TV programs about famous men.‎ C In the summer of 1885, nine-year-old Joseph Meister was very ill. He had been wounded by a sick dog that had rabies, a very dangerous disease. His parents were told that there was probably only one man who could save Joseph's life — Louis Pasteur.‎ When Pasteur was a young boy in France, he spent many hours every day with the chemist (药剂师) who lived in his small town. At that time, the chemist had to make all the medicines himself. Young Louis enjoyed watching the chemist as he worked and helped those people who came to him each day.‎ As a schoolboy, Pasteur worked slowly and carefully. At first, his teachers thought that young Louis might be a slow learner. Through elementary school, high school, and college, Pasteur worked in the same thoughtful way. Then he became a college professor (教授) and a scientist, and he continued to work very carefully.‎ Pasteur was studying about the germs (细菌) that cause rabies when Joseph Meister became ill. In fact, Pasteur believed he had a medical treatment for rabies, but he had never given it to a person before. At first, Pasteur was afraid to treat Joseph, but the poor child was dying. Pasteur gave Joseph an inoculation (预防接种) every day for ten days. Slowly, the child became better.‎ During his lifetime, Pasteur studied germs and learned how they cause diseases in animals and people. He developed vaccinations (疫苗) that prevent many of these diseases. On September ‎ 28, 1895, Louis Pasteur passed away, at the age of 72. The work of this great man has been of great help to modern medicine.‎ ‎27. The story of Joseph Meister is given to _____.‎ A. express the author's sadness. B. introduce the subject of the text C. show some common diseases in 1885. D. warn children to stay away from dogs ‎28. According to the text, young Louis _____.‎ A. was once badly hurt by a dog. B. was very interested in medicine C. made a living by working for a chemist. D. had been thought highly of by his teachers ‎29. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that Louis Pasteur _____.‎ A. was always patient.     B. was clever but proud.  ‎ C. was a slow learner. D. was a humorous professor.‎ ‎30. What would be the best title for the text ?‎ A. Germs and diseases. B. Rabies: a terrible disease.‎ C. The earliest chemist in France. D. Louis Pasteur: a great scientist.‎ D It doesn’t matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard about AI Herpin. AI Herpin, it was said, never slept, Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.‎ AI Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.‎ The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.‎ Herpin died at the age of 94.‎ ‎31. The main idea of this passage is that _______.‎ A. large numbers of people do not need sleep B. a person was found who actually didn’t need any sleep C. everyone needs some sleep to stay alive D. people can live longer by trying not to sleep ‎32.

AI Herpin’s condition could be regarded as ______.‎ A. a common one                       B. a rare one C. very healthy                         D. one that could be cured 第二节 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。‎ Beat your best!‎ What does your brain need to work well?
