2word版本可编辑.欢迎下载支持. Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full
moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking
about what a pity it was that most city people, myself included, usually miss sights like this
because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a
lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous
jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or
running hot water. Our group had campfires (篝火) outside every night, and indoors when it was
too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high
mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It
was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me
was the full moon, which struck me deeply.
Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell
phones, pagers, electricity, heaters, ovens , air-conditioners, cars and computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I
thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and
read books and walk in the mountains. I may become an old man there, wear the bottoms of my
trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. I will be able to walk outside on a cold
silent night and touch the moon.
21. The best title for the passage would be______.
A. Touched by the moon B. The pleasures of modern life
C. A bottomless well of silence D. Break away from modern life
22. The writer felt sorry for himself because________.
A. there was too much pollution B. he seldom enjoyed the fullest moon outsides
C. he didn’t adapt to modern inventions D. there were too many accidents on the road
23. What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?
A. No modern equipment B. Complete silence.
C. The nice moonlight D. The high mountains
24. Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to______.
A. show that the writer likes city life very much
B. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life
C. explain that people have fewer chances to enjoy nature
D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them

A. express the feeling of returning to nature
B. show the love for the moonlight
C. advise modern people to learn to live

B
Thirteen vehicles (车辆) lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a
million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams
and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key
part—drivers.
