Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them，and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed，several were badly hurt and taken to hospital，and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.A farmer，Mr. Tan，said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.“I was eating with my wife and children，”he said，“When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him，safe but very frightened.”Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.“There was no time to take anything，”she said，“A few minutes later，the roof came down.”Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department （福利机构） brought them food，clothes and shelter.21. How many homes altogether were damaged in the storm？A. Twenty-nine B. Twenty-one C. Thirty-six D. Fourteen22. Where was Mr. Tan when the storm first began？A. He was inside the house. B. He was in bed.C. He was outside the house. D. He was on the roof.23. The underlined word “shelter” in this passage means _.A. something to eat B. somewhere to stayC. somewhere to study D. something to wear24. Which of he following may be the best title for this passage？A. Clever People B. A Lucky Woman C. Good Soldiers D. A Terrible StormBFrom July to October every year, about a quarter of the worlds blue whales feed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. But the whales now face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. Lots of ships carrying cargo sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, a ship will hit a whale.According to a new study, this problem has become a serious threat to the whole population of the worlds blue whales. There are only about 10,000 of the creatures in the world.Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. But if hit by a container(集装箱) ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries.In 2007 alone, large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a great loss.“The population of blue whales in this part of the Pacific is about 2,500,” says Sean Hastings, a member of NOAA. “So every whale counts toward this population moving off the endangered-species list.”Now, one very simple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that separates mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands. The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to slow down. Sailing slower will allow the ships members more time to look at detection(探测) equipment and more important to change course before hitting a whale.Several of the worlds largest shipping lines are set to take part in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots(a measure of speed in water), the company that owns the ship will be paid $2,500.25The underlined part “this problem” in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that .Awhales are hit by ships Bwhales lose their wayCwhales travel too far Dwhales cant find enough food26What can we learn about blue whales?来源:学科网AThey like following container ships. BThey mainly live in the pacific Ocean.CThey are in danger of disappearing. DThey were once large in number.27The purpose of the simple program mentioned in Paragraph 6 is to .Aship the whales Bguide the whalesClook for the whales Dprotect the whales28The text is most probably .Aa travel guide Ba newspaper report 来源:学|科|网Z|X|X|KCan advertisement Da research paperCMany years ago my student asked me the question, Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach? Without taking time to reflect, I answered, Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someones life. Even though I was sincere, that wasnt a very good answer and my student didnt let it slide.Let me get this straight, he said, You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone? He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. Im one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach: Its in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You cant have ripples without a stone. Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and thats what I strive to do.I genuinely love teenagers.I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If theyll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.Teaching isnt for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.29. Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writers being a teacher?A. Because the writer was insincere.B. Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.C. Because the student was naughty.D. Because the answer was difficult to understand.30. What do you think of the writer?A. Honest. B. Stupid. C. Conservative. D. Polite.31. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?A. The writers mother has the greatest influence on her.B. The writers answer made the student confused.C. In the writers opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.D. The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.32. Whats the main idea of the text?A. A students silly question. B. A good teacher who likes students.C. The reason why I teach. D. A confused student.DThis is a song millions of Americans will hear this New Years Eve. It is called Auld Lang Syne (友谊地久天长).

They can not only have all kinds of outdoor activities, but also can afford to travel. Now even more and more can buy a private car. There are some advantages about it. First it can avoid being crowded on the bus. Second, it can reduce the pressure of going to work far away from home. Third, it is very convenient for those who like traveling. They can go where they want. But there are also some disadvantages. First, if there are more and more private cars, the traffic will be busier and busier. Second, the pollution will be more and more serious. Third, if there are more private cars, those who are not rich will be forced to buy one when they find many people have private cars. So in my opinion, if possible, we can take a bus to work. Then it can reduce pollution and the traffic wont be so busy.
