Very soon after Roberta wrote to the old gentleman, the three children were walking through the tunnel when they heard a cry.
The children ran deeper into the tunnel. Before long, they found a boy. He was lying on the ground.
“What happened ” Roberta asked him.
“I’m Jim. I was walking through the tunnel when I tripped（绊倒）. I think I’ve broken my leg.” “The 11:15 train is due（到期）soon,” Peter said. “We must get you out of here.”
“I’ve been here for two hours,” the boy said. “I was on my way to the station to catch the train. It’s quicker through the tunnel than along the road.”
“It’s also more dangerous,” Roberta said.
Peter said. “We’ve got to get you out.” Then Peter and Phyllis helped Jim up. It was a difficult journey, but the children got there before the 11:15 train did. Finally, a signalman helped them and took Jim to Peter’s home.
Mother called for a doctor and helped Jim rest. The doctor said Jim needed to stay in bed for at least a month. Mother wrote a letter to Jim’s grandfather. She gave the letter to the doctor, who promised to post it.
“Can he stay with us ” Peter said. “We’d love to have a friend our own age.” “Sure,” said Mother.
A few days later, Jim’s grandfather came to take Jim home. The children were surprised to see him. “You’re our old gentleman!” they exclaimed.
“That’s right,” he said. “And I got your letter, Roberta.” “What letter ” Mother demanded.
“Roberta wrote to me about her father,” the old gentleman said. “I was not surprised by what she said. I have thought for a long time that he was innocent. It was not possible that a guilty（有罪的）man could have such wonderful children. I think I can help you. Your father, will soon be free again.”
Two weeks later, Father came back home.

Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon” People use it to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries not to eat sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a moon.” While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.
The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase “blue moon” has to do with the shape (形状) of the moon, not the color.
As the moon travels around the earth, it changes shapes. We name the moon with shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, we call it a new moon. When we can see the whole moon, we can call it a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second moon is called a “blue moon”.
Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is rare. This fact has made people use the expression “once in a blue moon” to other very rare events in their lives.
35.Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase “once in a blue moon”.
A.Simon often tells jokes. He tells jokes once in a blue moon.
B.Tom rarely remembers to do exercise. He does exercise once in a blue moon.
C.Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. She goes shopping once in a blue moon.
D.Cindy hates to stay up, but she stays up every day. She stays up once in a blue moon.
36.When does a blue moon happen in nature
A.When the moon has a blue moon. B.When we cannot see the moon at all.
C.When there are two full moons in one month. D.When we can only see a small part of the moon.
37.How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years
A.Once a year. B. Less than once a year. C. More than once a year. D. At least twice a year.
38.What does the underlined part “This fact” in the last paragraph refer to (所指)
A.A blue moon is a very rare event. B.The moon appears to change shape.
C.The moon itself is never really blue. D.A blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon.

The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字母表), it uses characters(汉字) which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters. In many cases, a single character can also
make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters, Chinese characters have played an important part in the development of Chinese culture. At first, ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian symbols existed (存在), but only Chinese characters are still in use today. The history of the Chinese language can be examined by looking at how these characters developed.
Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time.
However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays.
Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by putting two or more characters together. For example, “rest” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “prisoner” was formed with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish (区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of each other.
Though these kinds of characters show meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not show how they should be pronounced(发音). Therefore, a way was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way.
In the 1950s the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning to read and write more understandable to a large number of people, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China’s mainland.
39.The writer introduced the Chinese characters by .
A. Giving examples B. providing causes C. expressing opinions D. comparing(比较) facts
40.The following sentence would best be placed at the beginning of .
Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.
A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 2
41.Which Chinese character used the underlined (下划线的) way
A. B. C. D.
42.What can we learn from the passage
A. Chinese characters have turned into standard forms, which are easier than before.
B. Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people.
C. Chinese characters existed at the very beginning and are still in use today like other ancient symbols.
D. Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together.
43.What might be the best title for the passage
A. The difference between Chinese and Western language B. How to form Chinese characters
C. The development of Chinese characters D. The history of the Chinese language
