A
I was heading home ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) after a long day at work, and I was tired and looking forward to getting home to my baby. Coming down the stairs into the station, I happened upon a lady, who was trying to talk to people. As she was speaking another language, and it was evening rush hour, no one stopped for her. I could see she was near to tears.
I said “Can I help ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you”. She turned to me. Besides English, all I really know is “Do you speak French”, “Do you speak German”, and a few other words in both languages. She tried to comprehend, and then shook her head. She kept saying and I finally caught a phrase I only recognized, thanks to Hollywood movies. She was a Russian. I named a few cities of Russia, and she nodded. Then I took her to the map and started going through stations. Luckily for both of us, I started with my own line. I went through the stations slowly, came to mine and she started nodding eagerly. I realized what she had been saying earlier.
When we got off ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the train, it was dark. She looked around, not sure where to go. So I tried going through major street names to see if it would help as I dealt with the station names. She recognized the name of a major street. As she got closer to the street, she got excited, recognizing the neighborhood.
When we got to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )house, she wanted me to come in for a drink. I tried to explain I had to go home to my baby. She asked me to wait, came into her house and then came out with a teddy bear. She acted out showing it was for my baby. I thanked her, got a big hug, and then went home.
41. What was the reason that no one stopped to help the lady
A. There were few people in the station.
B. People were in a hurry and didn’t understand her.

Is earning a black ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )belt on your life list Then this elderly woman in San Francisco just might be your great hero.
Just two years befor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e her 100th birthday, Sensei Keiko Fukuda has become the first woman to achieve a tenth-degree black belt—the highest rank in the martial art (武术) and combat (搏击) sport Judo. Fukuda is now one of only four living people who’ve earned the tenth-degree (or dan) black belt. Throughout history, only sixteen people have ever achieved this honor.
Fukuda began practicin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g Judo in 1935 and is the only surviving student of its founder, Kano Jiguro. Encouraged by her teacher, she learned English to help spread Judo internationally. During a time when getting married, building a family, and becoming a housewife was the norm, Fukuda bucked the tradition, giving up marriage to follow the martial art.
“All I did was Jud ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o...this was my marriage,” Fukuda said tearfully to the San Francisco Chronicle. “This is when my life and fate were set. I just never imagined what a long distance this road would be.”
She described the J ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iguro’s school, known as the Kodokan, as “old-fashioned and sexist about belts and ranks”. In fact, a rule that prevented women from achieving any higher than a fifth-degree black belt kept Fukuda at that level for thirty years. She was finally elevated to sixth dan in 1972 when a woman’s division was created.
Fukuda said she appr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oached Judo and her life with the intent to “be gentle, kind and beautiful, yet firm and strong, both mentally and physically”. Fukuda says this kind of beauty is not outside. “A soul with sympathy is inner beauty,” she explained to the paper. “I believe this is true beauty...All my life, this has been my dream.” Dream realized, the 98-year-old Fukuda continues to teach Judo three times a week.
46. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage
A. Fukuda—the oldest Judo teacher of the world
B. The only person alive who earns Judo’s black belt
C. A woman realized her dream of becoming a teacher
D. A 98-year-old woman earns Judo’s highest-degree black belt
47. The first paragraph severs as a(n) 　　　.
A. comment B. explanation C. conclusion D. introduction
48. The underlined word “bucked” in Paragraph 3 means “　　　”.
A. opposed B. continued C. followed D. missed
49. Before 1972, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Fukuda wasn’t allowed to be promoted above the fifth-degree black belt because of 　　　.
A. being too gentle B. being a woman
C. her poor education D. her unsuccessful marriage 2-1-c-n-j-y
50. What does Fukuda’s story mainly tell us
A. We may realize our dreams no matter how old we are.
B. We are equal and must fight for what we should get.
C. One could not be a success in both the career and the family.
D. Judo practice ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is a good way to keep us young and living a long life.

Fast food is known ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for being convenient. But when it comes to nutrition, it is not considered to be the best choice. McDonald’s says they want to change that. In July 2011, the company announced a plan to provide customers with healthier options. One change since then has been the addition of apple slices to Happy Meals.
Now, the fast- ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )food chain is enlisting (征募) kids’ help to make changes to their kids’ meals, which they call Happy Meals. Sarah Ralston, 11, and Elanya Saley, 9, won a contest to become honorary Happy Meal chefs. Their job is to help the company’s executive chef, Dan Coudreaut, create a healthy new Happy Meal option. “I want to make sure that kids are being active and healthy,” Sarah told TFK.　　21*cnjy*com
At the compan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y’s headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois, the two girls started by experimenting with pocket food—a term used for food items that have a filling. They made turnovers filled with broccoli and cheese, empanadas packed with chicken and vegetables and ravioli made with meat and spinach.
Sarah and Elanya star ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted with pocket food because it is easy to put vegetables in pocket food. If you can grow all the vegetables in one place and put them in the foods in one place, it’s possible to then ship everything out to the thousands of McDonald’s locations, Coudreaut explained.
According to Coudreaut ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), making changes to the Happy Meal can be challenging. Even adding apple slices required a great deal of planning. “With 14,000 restaurants, that is a really hard thing to do,” said Coudreaut.
Still, Coudreaut hopes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to make many more changes, with the goal of making the meals more nutritious.
51. What can be the best title of the passage
A. A big change in fast food B. Healthier Happy Meals
C. How to make pocket food D. McDonald’s and its fast food
52. Why does McDonald’s enlist kids’ help
A. Because kids can help improve its kids’ meals.
B. Because it wants to train the kids to be Happy Meal chefs.
C. Because kids are more interested in the food made by kids.
D. Because kids selected from the contest have very clever ideas.
53. Pocket food is a kind of food 　　　.
A. which is s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )weet and delicious B. specially prepared for children
C. with vegetab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )les and meat in it D. that can be easily put into the pocket【出处：21教育名师】
54. According to Paragraph 5, Coudreaut implies that 　　　.【版权所有：21教育】
A. it’s a hard thing to open so many restaurants
B. they’ve made full preparations for the Happy Meals
C. they own many restaurants all over the world
D. it is difficult to make changes to the Happy Meals
55. From the passage we can learn 　　　.
A. apple slices can make fast food more nutritious
B. Happy Meals can make people slimmer and healthier
C. all the vegetables in pocket food are grown in one place21·世纪*教育网
D. many changes have been made to Happy Meals since July 2011

Stonehenge is one of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the greatest unexplained mysteries of the world. It’s certainly no trick (It is estimated to be more than 5,000 years old) and is probably the most important prehistoric (史前的) monument in the whole of Britain.
When you visit Ston ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ehenge, you’ll find yourself driving for miles through rolling hills and countryside until, suddenly, you catch sight of this strange and unexplained structure. There’s a mysterious and frightening feeling towards the area around Stonehenge, and for thousands of years it has stood there silently, giving away few clues as to the meaning of its existence.
Excavations (挖掘) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have revealed that Stonehenge was built in four stages:
First a series o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f holes were dug around 3,100 BC for the religious ceremony.
Then, more than 1,0 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )00 years later, the most dramatic stage of building took place. Huge bluestones from mountains in Wales were dragged more than 240 miles to the Stonehenge site. Why would anyone do this in the age before the wheel And how would he accomplish such a feat These are true unexplained mysteries — because it really wouldn’t have been hard to find rocks closer nearby. The stones were then set up to form an incomplete double circle, aligned (成一直线) perfectly with the midsummer sunrise.
The third stage i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n 2,000 BC saw the arrival of more stones, which were transported by land from the Marlborough Downs some 25 miles away.
Finally, after a f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urther 500 years had passed, someone felt the need to rearrange the massive Welsh bluestones into the familiar horseshoe and circle we see today.
As one of the great ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) unexplained mysteries towards ancient men, the meaning of Stonehenge is still not clear today. Was it a temple, a burial ground, an observatory, or an ancient calendar Without a time machine to go back and ask, we may never know...
56. What would be the best title of the passage
A. The stones of Stonehenge B. Excavations of Stonehenge
C. Unexplained mysteries of Stonehenge
D. Stonehenge—the most important monument in Britain
57. Visitors to Stonehenge usually feel 　　　.
A. bored B. excited C. comfortable D. frightened
58. The underlined part “such a feat” in Paragraph 5 refers to 　　　.
A. Stonehenge B. the invention of the wheel21cnjy.com
C. transporting huge stones D. the design of Stonehenge
59. We can learn from the passage that 　　　.
A. no one knows exactly what Stonehenge was built for21·cn·jy·com
B. human beings will ride a time machine to go back to 3,100 BC
C. Stonehenge couldn’t have been built without the help of aliens
D. Stonehenge is the greatest unexplained mystery of the world
60. All the following about Stonehenge are true EXCEPT 　　　.

For years, s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cientists have been puzzled by the mysterious “sailing stones” of Death Valley. Lying in a remote area of California’s Death Valley National Park, the heavy stones appear to move across the dried lake bed known as Racetrack Playa, leaving trails (痕迹) behind them in the mud.
The rocks’ appare ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt movement has been blamed on everything from space aliens and magnetic (有磁性的) fields to some people. But no one has actually seen the rocks move, which only adds to the mystery.
Scientists h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave tried to solve the puzzle of the sailing stones for decades. Some researchers thought that dust storms might move the rocks, some of which weigh as much as 318 kilograms.
Other researchers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) believed the strong winds that frequently blew across the vast lake bed could cause the rocks to slide across the ground. These and other theories were eventually disproved, leaving scientists without an explanation.
In some cases th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e rocks’ trails were measured to be as long as 820 feet, according to . Some of the trails formed a graceful curve (弧线), while other trails created a straight line, then a sudden shift to the left or right, which further baffled researchers.
In 2006, Ralph Lo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )renz, a NASA scientist investigating weather conditions on other planets, took an interest in Death Valley. Through experiments, Lorenz’s research team calculated that under certain winter conditions in Death Valley, enough water and ice could form to float the rocks across the muddy bottom of Racetrack Playa in a light breeze (微风), leaving trails in the mud as the rocks moved.
“People alway ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s ask, ‘What do you think causes them to move ’ But if you try to explain, they don’t always want to hear the answers,” Van Valkenburg said. “People like a mystery — they like an unanswered question.”
61. Before 2006, the explanations for the sailing stones were 　　　.
A. reasonable B. unacceptable
C. made up D. based on experiments
62. The underli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ned word “baffled” in Paragraph 5 is the closest in meaning to “　　　”.
A. inspired B. frightened C. confused D. disappointed21教育名师原创作品
63. Which of the following is TRUE
A. The trails left by sailing stones are irregular.
B. No wind is strong enough to move rocks of 318 kilograms.
C. It’s generally believed that only in a valley can rocks move.
D. Ralph Lorenz has been studying the sailing stones for years.
64. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Some people don’t believe Ralph Lorenz’s explanation.
B. People would rather explore mysteries by themselves.www.21-cn-jy.com
C. People always refuse to accept new explanations.
D. Van Valkenburg is a member of Lorenz’s research team.
65. This passage is mainly about 　　　.
A. trails of the sailing stones
B. unexplained mysteries of the natural world
C. Ralph Lorenz’s experiments on the sailing stones
D. mysterious sailing stones and various explanations for them

One day an emperor fro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m a faraway land came to visit Buddha. Buddha had set aside time to spend with this important man and during this time all of Buddha’s students were sitting silently.
That day, an elder ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly monk was due to leave to go on a long trip across India.

“How old are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you now ” Buddha asked him. “I am 4 years old,” the monk replied. (He was clearly a man of at least 75 years old!)
Buddha just smiled ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and wished him a safe journey, but the emperor was watching all of this and was just confused. He didn’t know which was stranger, a grown man claiming to be 4 years old or Buddha accepting his answer. So the emperor asked Buddha and Buddha explained:
“That man gave his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )age as 4 years old because, in a way, he is. We measure it differently here. It was 4 years ago that he regained his enlightenment. In other words, he dropped the false notion of himself and in doing so remembered who he really was. He had an experience we call ‘Satori (开悟)’. After that his life would totally change. We count that day a person ‘wakes up’ to his or her own true identity as the day they are born because that is the day they begin to truly live.”
