CLOZE 1
Not long before, my daughter’s shoes were scratched(划破)with a knife. She burst into tears. I took them to the shoemaker’s.
The young apprentice(学徒)glanced at the 1 and said, “Nothing I can do except 2 the upper.”
His master looked at them and said, “If you 3 me, I will add more scratches on both the shoes.”
I was 4 and asked why.
He explained, “As ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) if the opening were made 5 for a special style.”
I didn’t fully understand him, 6 I decided to leave the shoes.
Two days later I d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ropped by from work to 7 the shoes. I found more scratches on each shoe; all the openings were patched(缝补)by soft red leather; the stitches(针脚) were twisted with the appearance looking more 8 and interesting than ever. I couldn’t help praising the master’s 9 .
Another time, my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sister’s blouse was torn, leaving a large opening. My wife checked it 10 , and then said, “Let me take it home and 11 it.”
Three days l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ater, seeing it again, I was greatly 12 : all the torn parts took on a look of ice crystal(水晶)；attached to it was a snowman made of flowery rags. I sighed with 13 , “It’s amazing!”
“I was 14 by that shoemaker. Patches are supposed to be 15 , but a skillful craftsman(工匠)can make it take on a kind of 16 .” replied my wife.
Her words inspi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )red me more: perfection is impossible to achieve in 17 ; patches appear in the 18 of injury, disability or disease. Since you can’t change the existence of wound, you should not 19 people’s sympathy by disclosing the wound, which is meaningless. Just sew the 20 by patches and produce a most beautiful flower on it, and that is the significance of life.

Life in 2060
Let us suppose i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s imagine it is about fifty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.
What are people eati ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng now People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.
Farming, of cour ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )se, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.
1. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D.2060
A. Many tourists. B. Many other animals.
C. Many plants. D. A sea.
2. What will people eat then according to the passage
A. Biscuits in pill form. B. Foods in pill form.

3. The passage tells us that in 2060, ________ on the earth than now.
A. there are fewer population B. there are more pests
C. there is less water D. the crops are getting better
4. Why are people largely vegetarians in 2060
A. Because they don’t eat meat.
B. Because doctors advise them not to eat meat.
C. Because the number of animals decreases.
D. Because all the animals have died of diseases.

Jeanne Calment, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October of 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.
Jeanne Calment li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ves in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.
So what is the key t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o a long life According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke(now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes(基因)from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying: Sorry, I’m still alive!
1. How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age
A. She is miserable and unhappy.
B. She is cheerful and humorous.
C. She would like to live much longer.
D. She feels she is going to die very soon.
2. Jeanne Calment owes her good health and long life to _______．
A. smoking only a little every day
B. her giving up smoking and drinking
C. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every day
D. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercises
3. Why does Jean ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the local lawyer every year on her birthday
A. Because she had ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.
B. Because she has a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.
C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.
D. Because the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) house she sold to the lawyer isn’t worth the money he has already paid.
READING 3
Today anyone ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )day is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.
Shells were not the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Phillipine Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks, monkey tails and salt were used as money in parts of Africa.
The first metal coi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the centre. People strung(串联)them together and carried them from place to place.
Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin(锡). Sweden and Russia used copper(铜)to make their money. Later some countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like note from one person to another than the paper money used today.
Money has had ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
1. In the Philippines Islands _________ was once used as money.
A. rice B. knife C. cloth D. wheat
2. What was the first used as money _________.

A. was passed fro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m west Asia to China B. looked like a note used today
C. was first u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sed in Europe D. looked like a piece of fur
5. We can infer from the passage that _________.
A. paper money isn’t difficult to make
B. money must be suited to carry
C. people need money to exchange goods with each other
D. people prefer metal coins to paper notes

Life may not always seem fair, but we can learn to deal with it and make new choices along the way.
I remember so clear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly sitting next to my dad as we drove through the town. I was complaining about something unfair that had happened to me. Dad looked directly at me and said, “No one ever said life was fair.” I was shocked at his answer. Later on as my marriage had problems even though I tried to save it. I could still hear “It’s not fair” in my heart. Now as I raise two kids alone, try to create new relationships and build a business, I am forced to face the inevitable （不可避免的） truth every day. Gradually I’ve found that I have accepted my dad’s wisdom.
We all will face loss or unexpected changes. But unfairness should not be the only thing in our life. We choose for ourselves what seems fair by comparing our lives with others’, and this can lead us to feel that our own lives are unfair. People need to ignore what others have and set their own plans. Certainly, there’re so many unhappy events in the world and in our lives, and when we deal with them, we try to control as many things as we can. Then, the sense of “ it’s not fair” often comes when we can’t control the things in our lives. So please put your efforts into the process rather than the result. You should learn that life is unfair, but you can be fair and learn how to enjoy life.

CALCUTTA, India ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Mar 24, 2006 (AP) — One of the world’s oldest creatures, a giant tortoise believed to have been about 250 years old, has died in the Calcutta zoo where it spent more than half its long life.
Addwaita, which mean ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s “the one and only” in the local Bengali language, was one of four Aldabra tortoises brought to India by British sailors in the 18th century. Zoo officials say he was a gift for Lord Robert Clive of the East India Company, who was instrumental in establishing British colonial (殖民的) rule in India, before he returned to England in 1767. Long after the other three tortoises died, Addwaita continued to thrive (茁壮成长), living in Clive’s garden before being moved to the zoo in 1875.
“According to re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cords in the zoo, the age of the giant tortoise, Addwaita, who died on Wednesday, would be about 250 years,” said zoo director Subir Chowdhury. That would have made him much older than the world’s oldest documented (备有证明文件的) living animal: Harriet, a 176-year-old Galapagos tortoise who lives at the Australia Zoo north of Brisbane, according to the zoo’s Web site. She was taken from the island of Isla Santa Cruz by Charles Darwin in the 19th century.
Aldabra torto ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ises come from the Aldabra atoll(环礁) in the Seychelle islands in the Indian Ocean, and often live to more than 100 years of age. Males can weigh up to 550 pounds. Addwaita, the zoo’s biggest attraction, had been unwell for the last few days, said local Forest Minister Jogesh Burman.
“We were keeping a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) watch on him. When the zoo keepers went to his enclosure on Wednesday they found him dead,” Burman said.
1. Now, the ol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dest animal in the world is about at ________ according to the passage.
A. 176 years old B. 100 years old C. 250 years old D. 200 years old
2. In the last few da ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ys before Addwaita died, he ________.
A. had been sent to hospital for treatment B. had been playing with travelers
C. had been found not better than before D. had stayed in his enclosure for months
What would be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the best title for the passage
A. An Old Aldabra Tortoise Died in India B. A Remarkable Life: Tortoise Dies at 250
C. A Special Kind of Tortoise — Addwaita D. The Oldest Animal Aldabra Tortoise Died

I think everyone li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )kes music, so do me. Someone once said that if there was no music, there would be no life. Music bring you beauty and happy. After a whole day of hard work, when you go back to home, you can sit down and turn off the recorder and listen to a wonderful piece of music. I am sure it will help you getting rid of your tiredness. It will sure make you relaxing. And also, if you are somewhat angry, you can listen to music; it will make you calmed down and drive away unhappiness. I like music and I wish that everyone could find out value of music and like music forever.

My swimming experience ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is extreme interesting. There was a time when I swim like a rock. This went on till one day when I was fishing with a friend of mine at nearby pond. I slipped into one. Had my friend not come to my rescue, I would have been drowned. Ever since then, I had come to know the importance of learning to swim. I didn’t attend at any training class but learned it all by myself. Strange to say, I have difficult swimming at all now. Though the way I swim look awkward (笨拙的), at least it can keep me from floating. Thinking of this, I feel quiet satisfied.
