A
It is reported that Ja ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pan’s Nissan Motor Company has officially announced the next big thing—a paint that not only resists scratches，but actually repairs itself within a few days.
The new material ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，developed by Nippon Paint Company，contains a special chemical like rubber that is able to heal small marks caused by car wash equipment，parking lot encounters，broken stones or even on purpose destruction.21·世纪*教育网
The automaker admi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage，but he also says that this is the only paint like it in the world，and tests prove it works.
Small scratc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hes，the most common type，are said to slowly fade over about a week.And once they’re gone，there is no mark left where they ever were. 21*cnjy*com
The special p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied，but there is no word yet on whether more can be added after that period.
Nissan says car ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )washes are the worst ones that are to blame for this type of damage.At least 80 percent of all incidents are caused by washing cars.
However，the special ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )paint doesn’t come cheap，and will add about $100 to the price of a car.【出处：21教育名师】
It plans to use its ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) new chemical mixture only on its X Trail_SUVs in Japan for now.And while plans to offer the paint overseas haven’t been made yet，if it’s a hit in Japan，you can be almost sure market forces will drive it to other countries，as well.www.21-cn-jy.com
36．From the article，we can find that ________.
A．the paint has already been used on ears by now
B．it beats other products of its kind in its lasting effect
C．car damage is always caused by scratches

37．The paint used on cars can ________.
A．at most last 3 years before it is re applied again
B．fade away in only one or two days
C．help to protect cars from light paint damage

C．The mark on the car could disappear once the paint is applied.
D．The paint is popular in Japan and many foreign countries.

For the people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) living in the Nile Basin，the river is their life.This 6,825km waterway，whose watershed (流域) covers three million square kilometers，flows through mountains，woodlands，lakes and deserts.Its potential for fishing，tourism and shipping is great—but so are its challenges.
Water shortage，a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lready serious in Egypt and Sudan，will soon influence several other countries in the watershed as well.Today，about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living.Within the next 25 years，the district’s population is expected to double，adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture.The frequent drought adds to the urgency.
Water quality is also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a problem.Precious soil is washed out to sea.Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution.Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils.Water borne diseases continue unchecked.In areas where it’s hot and damp，water hyacinths choke off lakes，dams and other sections of the river，making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward.
Native people al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ong the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day.They’ve seen the river change course，and their only source of water thickened with mud.They’re very poor and have few choices.
But a new prog ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ram，the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI)，is offering very practical assistance.The program is more than just a water management project.It’s a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district：It concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them.
These are whole ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ecosystem problems，calling for united solutions.Half the Nile Basin’s countries are among the world’s poorest nations；yet，somehow，they must find the resources，skills and political will to overcome these challenges.
40.What are the great challenges the Nile Basin faces
A．The development of shipping industry.
B．Overfishing of native people.
C．Water shortage and water quality.
D．Increasing population and tourism.
41．The underlined w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ord “hyacinths” (in Paragraph 3) refers to “________”．
A．animals B．plants
C．rocks D．salts
42．The program NBI is mainly aimed at________.
A．preventing water pollution
B．changing the river course
C．improving living conditions of the poor
D．preventing land from becoming desert
43．What would be the best title for this passage
A．People’s Life in Egypt and Sudan
B．Frequent Drought in Egypt and Sudan
C．The Poorest Countries in the Nile Basin
D．The Ecosystem Problems in the Nile Basin

Fujitsu，a Japanese t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )echnology company，has created a system capable of simultaneously(同时地) charging multiple portable electronic devices such as mobile phones，digital cameras and laptop computers without the need for cable connections.
Electric cars u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sers may also eventually be able to charge their vehicles wirelessly using the same technology，said the company，which developed a sample system at Osaka Prefecture University.Claiming to be the world’s first of its kind，the technology works on the basis of the transmission of electricity using magnetic fields between the charger and the electronic device.
The system enab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )les wireless charging at distances of up to several meters.With the final aim of installing public “charging spots” on the streets in order to enable easy charging around the clock，scientists at Fujitsu Labs are planning to commercially sell products incorporating the new wireless charging system as early as 2012 but have not yet decided how much they would cost.21·cn·jy·com
“This technology paves ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the way to integrating compact wireless charging functions into mobile phones and enabling multiple portable devices to be charged simultaneously without any restrictions on their position relating to the charger，” the company said in a statement.
Mobile phone users in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Japan can currently charge their batteries using the disposable portable plug in battery operated device，available at most train stations and convenience stores.However，phone companies warn long time use of it can damage the phones.
The company ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )added，“We are also looking at applying the results of this work to fields other than portable electronics，including power transmission between circuit boards(电路板) or computer chips，and providing mobile charging systems for electric cars.”
44．This passage is most probably taken from ________.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
A．an instructive brochure
B．readers’ feedback
C．a news report
D．a brief introduction
45．Which of the foll ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )owing can best describe the striking feature of this system
A．It enables wireless charging at distances of up to several miles.
B．It enables you to charge your device very easily beside the clock.
C．It is wireless and makes multiple charging at the same time.
D．It can be bought at any formal supermarkets in the city.
46．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A．the device B．the system
C．the phone D．the battery
47．The best title for the text would be “________”．
A．Fujitsu，a Famous Japanese Company

Last weekend,20 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ),000 people gathered in the state of Georgia to watch students from 28 countries compete with robots they built.More than ten thousand students and more than five hundred robots took part in the competition.
The students and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) their robots competed at the FIRST Championship at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.FIRST is the short way of saying the organization’s complete name: For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology.
Almost 1,700 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) high school teams entered a level of competition called LUNACY.
In January，the org ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )anization sent supplies for robots to each team.The teams had six weeks to build robots that could compete in the LUNACY game.The playing area had six robots，three on each team.Each robot had another vehicle，or trailer(拖车)，connected to it.The robots had to pick up large balls and throw them into the trailers of opposing robots.The robots were moving on a surface where they could slide.An alliance(联盟) of teams from California，Illinois and Michigan won the LUNACY competition.
A second competition i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nvolved building a robot that could travel on uneven surfaces，move objects with unusual shapes and resist physical stress.
Another competitio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n was for younger students，aged 9 to 14.They had to design，build and program robots to explore the Earth’s climate.
American inventor De ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an Kamen started FIRST in 1989.The organization holds robotics competitions around the world.It offers programs that help young people learn more about science，technology，engineering and mathematics，while building life skills.Many companies provide support to the organization.
Mister Kamen says the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) goal is about more than building robots.He says the student competitors showed they could deal with difficult technological problems.And，he says that is good news because the world needs creative thinkers to help with increasingly complex problems in the future.
48．The Robot Competition was organized by ________.
A．the State of Georgia
B．an organization named FIRST
C．American inventor Dean Kamen
D．some companies from California
49．The robots in the LUNACY game are able to ________.
A．travel on uneven surfaces
B．explore the Earth’s climate
C．throw balls into the trailers
D．move objects with different shapes
50．The main purpose of FIRST is to ________.
A．attract more companies to support them
B．help students under 8 to be interested in science【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
C．teach students how to build the robots on the spot
D．help young people learn science as well as life skills
51．The under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A．the goal of building robots
B．the students’ ability to deal with problems
C．the goal of the student competitors
D．something about technological problems

More than on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e and a half billion people around the world live without electricity.Finding better ways to bring light to the poor is the goal of researchers like David Irvine Halliday.
In the late 1990s，the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Canadian professor was working in Nepal when his return flight was canceled.A delay gave him time to take a fourteen day hiking trip in the Himalayas.One day he looked in the window of a school and noticed how dark it was.This is a common problem for millions of children around the world—and not just at school，but also at home.
Many families u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )se kerosene (煤油) oil lamps.There are many problems with these lamps.They produce only a small amount of light.They are dangerous to breathe.And they are a big fire danger，causing many injuries and deaths each year.
When he returned to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Canada，he began researching ways to provide safe，clean and affordable lighting.He began experimenting with light emitting diodes(发光二极管), LEDs.Light emitting diodes are small glass lamps that use much less electricity than traditional bulbs and last much longer.
In 2000，afte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r much research and many experiments，he returned to Nepal to put the systems into homes.His Light Up the World Foundation has now equipped the homes of twenty five thousand people in fifty one countries.
“The one time ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cost of our system—which consists of a small solar panel(太阳电池板), a little motorcycle sized battery and a couple of LED lamps，which basically live forever，as well as the solar panel—is less than one hundred dollars.So，one year of kerosene would pay for a solid state lighting system.”
Now his aim is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to develop a lower cost lighting system.He has decided to give up leadership in the Light Up the World Foundation to start a company in India.
52．Kerosene oil lamps have many problems EXCEPT ________.
A．giving off little light
B．doing harm to people’s health
C．starting fire
D．causing earthquakes and storms
53．It can be inf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erred from the passage that the lighting system ________.
A．is quite cheap
B．is a little expensive
C．doesn’t last very long
D．has not been equipped in homes now
54．What is David Irvine Halliday’s next goal
A．Bringing the light to the poor.
B．Building his own company.
C．Giving up leadership.
D．Developing a much cheaper lighting system.
55．What can be the best title for the passage
A．Contribution of David Irvine Halliday
B．Light Up the World Foundation
C．Bringing Light to Homes in Poor Countries
D．Invention of Light emitting Diodes

Dear_Editor，
As_a_student_ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reader，I_am_writing_to_talk_about_the_English_textbooks_published_by_your_house.These books have many advantages.One of them is that we can find a variety of topics，such as science，culture and history.These topics，I think，are very popular with us students.What’s more，along with the texts there are many beautiful and colorful pictures，which can help us understand English better.Even the students who used to dislike English have turned out to be interested in the subject.However，some of the texts have too many new words and expressions which are hard for us.Therefore，I’d like to suggest changing them into easier ones.

One day in the near ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) future，after your grocery shopping，you’ll want to pack up all your smart foods and head home of wherever your next stop is.But you won’t be getting into the same kind of cars we drive today.You’ll quite possibly be in a driverless，robotic car.
The idea may not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be as far fetched as it sounds.Futurists say robots will be a large part of life.They have already infiltrated(潜入) the toy store.Pleo，a toy dinosaur，has sensors that react to touch，light and sound，and actually purrs when scratched.Though a driverless car sounds like a crazy idea，it is built to be safer and more efficient than what is currently parked in the driveway.
Using GPS and lasers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to detect everything from lane markers to stop signs to wayward soccer balls，the cars will have far better reaction time than humans.“I think robotic cars will be much more reliable.It will be able to deal with children running on the street and walkers，”Stanford University computer science professor Sebastian Thrun said.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Besides drivi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng，robots will also help take care of the most basic housework，even when your children are slacking off.2-1-c-n-j-y
“The next gener ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ation will have arms to be able to touch things and pick them up，” Thrun said.“So you leave plates on the table and the next day they’re in the dish washer.”
Even with al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l of the changes coming in the future，the_human_condition_won’t_change，though，according to futurists.At day’s end，you’ll still share a drink with a friend and kiss your child goodnight，because no robot can do that.
1．The robotic cars in the future ________.
A．don’t need a driver
B．make no sound
C．have already infiltrated the toy store
D．are less efficient than current cars
2．We can know from the third paragraph that ________.
A．GPS and lasers are removed in robotic cars
B．the robotic cars may response more reliably than humans
C．the robotic cars can warn children to keep away
D．robotic cars will avoid any possible accident
3．By saying “the human ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) condition won’t change”，futurists probably mean that ________.
A．our family life in the future will not change
B．the living condition will not change
C．the relationship between humans will not change
D．the essential roles human beings play will not change
4．What is the best title for the passage
A．Cars in the Future
B．Driving for Fun
C．Robots in Future Life
D．Changes Coming in the Future
B
Want a glance of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the future of health care Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another，and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient—no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ring advice based on normal symptoms(症状) is the most obvious example.Increasingly，however，remote diagnosis(远程诊断) will be based on real physiological data(生理数据) from the actual patient.A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone，it is perfectly practical to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone.With this kind of equipment，the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical te ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chnology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural(countryside) care.And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need—especially after earthquakes.On the whole，the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts’ opinions.
But there is one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )problem.Bandwidth(宽带) is the limiting factor for sending complex medical pictures around the world—CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth munication satellites may be able to deal with the short term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars.But medicine is looking towards both the second generation Internet and third generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.
Doctors have met to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) discuss computer based tools for medical diagnosis，training and telemedicine.With the falling price of broadband communications，the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information，experts’ opinions and diagnosis are common.21·cn·jy·com
5．The writer chiefly talks about________.
A．the use of telemedicine
B．the on lined doctors
C．medical care and treatment
D．communication improvement
6．The basis of remote diagnosis will be________.
A．personal data assistance
B．some words of a patient
C．real physiological information
D．medical pictures from the Internet
7．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A．Patients don’t need doctors in hospitals any more.21·世纪*教育网
B．It is impossible to send a patient’s signs over the telephone.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
C．Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.【出处：21教育名师】
D．Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.
8．The underlined w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ord “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that________.
A. bandwidth isn’t big enough to send complex medical pictures
B．the second generation of Internet has not become popular yet
C．communication satellites can only deal with short term needs
D．there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care

It is widely know ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n that any English conversation begins with The Weather.Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr.Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet，their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago，most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather speak.21世纪教育网版权所有
Bill Bryson，for ex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ample，concludes that，as the English weather is not at all exciting，the obsession with it can hardly be understood.He argues that “To an outsider，the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply，the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman，howev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er，disagrees with Bryson，arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive.Bryson is wrong，he says，because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena.“The interest is less in the phenomena themselves，but in uncertainty.” According to him，the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.21·世纪*教育网
Bryson and Pax ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )man stand for common misconceptions about the weather speak among the English.Both commentators，somehow，are missing the point.The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all.English weather speak is a system of signs，which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other.Everyone knows conversations starting with weather speak are not requests for weather data.Rather，they are routine greetings，conversation starters or the blank “fillers”．In other words，English weather speak is a means of social bonding.【出处：21教育名师】

A．most commentators agree with Dr.Johnson

D．English conversations usually start with the weather
2．What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to
A．A social trend.
B．An emotional state.

D．An unknown phenomenon.
3．According to the passage，Jeremy Paxman believes that ________.
A．Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B．there is nothing special about the English weather
C．the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D．English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty

Plants are flowering ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) faster than scientists predicted(预测) in reaction to climate change，which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems.21·cn·jy·com
Global warming i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world，changing some living patterns，scientists say. 21*cnjy*com
Increased carbon di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oxide (CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen，while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
“Predicting species’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology，” said the researchers of several U．S.universities.They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.21*cnjy*com
The study，publ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ished on the Nature website，uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species.It found that some experiments had underestimated(低估) the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times.
“Across all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )species，the experiments under predicted the speed of the advance—for both leafing and flowering—that results from temperature increase，” the study said.
The design of future ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change，it said.2-1-c-n-j-y
Plants are necessar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y for life on the Earth.They are the base of the food chain，using photosynthesis(光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water.They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.
Scientists believe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the world’s average temperature has risen by about 0.8℃ since 1900，and nearly 0.2℃ every ten years since 1979.
So far，efforts t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o cut emissions(排放) of planet warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2℃ this century—a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common，leading to drought，floods，crop failures and rising sea levels.
1．What is the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1
A．Plants’ reactio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystem.
B．The increasi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng speed of flowering is beyond scientists’ expectation.
C．Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns.【出处：21教育名师】
D．Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather.
2．We can learn from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the study published on the Nature website that ________.
A．plants’ flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafing
B．there are 1,634 plant species on the four continents
C．scientists should improve the design of the experiments
D．the experiments fai ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )led to predict how plants react to climate change
3．Scientists ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) pay special attention to the study of plants because ________.
A．they can prove the climate change clearly
B．they are very important in the food chains
C．they play a leading role in reducing global warming
D．they are growing and flowering much faster than before
4．What can be inferred ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) from the last two paragraphs about the world’s temperature
A．It has risen nearly 0.2℃ since 1979.
B．Its change will lead to weather extremes.
C．It is 0.8℃ higher in 1979 than that of 1990.
D．It needs to be controlled within 2℃ in this century.

A
An idea that st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arted in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America and beyond.The concept is simple：help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.
In addition to encoura ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all，the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus，as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起) the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998.Her original program used author visits，study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book，but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities，and even to Hong Kong.
In Chicago，the may ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or (市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book，One Chicago” program.As a result，reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US，stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
The only pro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )blem arose in New York，where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.This may show that the idea works best in medium sized cities or large towns，where a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved.Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point，putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself.
Ultimately，a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s Nancy points out，the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book，but by how many people are enriched by the process，or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared_a_word.
1．What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy
A．To invite authors to guide readers.
B．To encourage people to read and share.
C．To involve people in community service.
D．To promote the friendship between cities.
2．Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project 【出处：21教育名师】
A．They had little interest in reading.
B．They were too busy to read a book.
C．They came from many different backgrounds.
D．They lacked support from the local government.
3．According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) passage，where would the project be more easily carried out
A．In large communities with little sense of unity.www.21-cn-jy.com
B．In large cities where libraries are far from home.【版权所有：21教育】
C．In medium sized cities with a diverse population.
D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.
4．The underlined wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rds “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean ________.
A．exchanged ideas with each other
B．discussed the meaning of a word
C．gained life experience
D．used the same language
B
At Blossom End Railr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oad Station,22 year old Stanley Vine sat，waiting for his new employer.The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war torn France.After four horrible years as an army private fighting in Europe，Stanley had returned to England in February 1946.Armed now with some savings and with no prospects for a job in England，he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada.Two months later he was on his way.
When the old car ru ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mbled toward the tiny station，Stanley rose to his feet，trying to make the most of his five foot and four inches frame.The farmer，Alphonse Lapine，shook his head and complained，“You’re a skinny thing.” On the way to his dairy farm，Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids.“Money’s tight.You’ll get room and board.You’ll get up at dawn for milking，and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again.Ten dollars a week.Sundays off.”Stanley nodded.He had never been on a farm before，but he took the job.
From the beginning Sta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nley was treated horribly by the whole family.They made fun of the way he dressed and talked.He could do nothing right.The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper，criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake.The oldest son,13 year old Armand，constantly played nasty tricks on him.But the kind hearted Stanley never responded.21世纪教育网版权所有
Stanley never b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ecame part of the Lapine family.After work，they ignored him.He spent his nights alone in a tiny bedroom.However，each evening before retiring，he lovingly cared for the farmer’s horses，eagerly awaiting them at the field gate.He called them his gentle giants.On Saturday nights he hitch hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm.
Early one Novembe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared，after only six months as his farmhand.The railway station master，when questioned later that week，said he had not seen him.In fact no one in the community had ever heard of him again.That is，until one evening，almost 20 years later，when Armand opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline，“Millionaire jockey，Stanley Vine，ex British soldier and 5 time horse riding champion，began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada.”
5．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Stanley joined the French army when he was 18 years old.
B．On the farm Stanley had to milk the cows 14 times a week.
C．The Lapine family were rich but cruel to Stanley.
D．Stanley read about the job offer in a newspaper.
6．What can we infer from the passage
A．When he firs ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t met his employer，Stanley tried to impress him but failed.
B．Stanley had never worked on a farm，so he made a lot of mistakes.
C．Stanley’s weekly salary was not enough for him to live on.
D．Stanley left the far ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m by train，without telling anyone why he did so.
7．What did Stanley like doing after work each day
A．Hitch hiking to different towns.
B．Wandering about the farm alone.
C．Preparing meals on the farm.
D．Caring for the farmer’s horses.
8．Why was Armand so a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stonished when he read about Stanley in the magazine
A．He had no idea Stanley had always been a wealthy man.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
B．He didn’t expect Stanley to become such a success.21教育名师原创作品
