Tomorrow night, you will be very happy, 19 you can also be regretful." Then God disappeared.The herdsmen were very disappointed, because they would look forward to God 20( bring ) them untold wealth and health and longevity, but they did not expect that God had told them to do all these 21 (mean) things. However, in any case, after all, that was God's will, although there was some dissatisfaction, they were still picking over some stones. 22 this way, they took a day. When night fell, they camped.

AThe light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis’s Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack’s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name? ”“Are you sure you want to hear it? It’s a scary story,” warned Jack.“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn’t have chosen this place!”“Ok, but don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in . In those days, the area looked quite different ---- it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.“You are clearing too much land,” warned one old man. “The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.”“Silly fool,” said Dennis to himself. “If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I’llbecome wealthier. He’s just jealous!”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened? ” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, tw isting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit back ---- just as the old man warned” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story,” laughed Tom. “Plants can’t …” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom’s face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.26. The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is close d in meaning to ________.A. courageB. assistanceC. instructionD. challenge27. Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story ?A. To frighten them.B.

Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers (同龄人)．Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15yearold boys and girls found that girls' friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”；they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate (空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years.As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy's life—and a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “al ways there for me”, someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.31.The common belief of adults is that boys________.A. don't care about others as much as girlsB. don't value friendship as much as girlsC. have the same friendship as girlsD. have healthier friendship than girls32. According to the text, boys' friendship________.A. is usually built around active playB. tends to be in small groupsC. can bear mutual hurt between friendsD. doesn't suffer from failure33. The author mentions the study in the second paragraph to prove ________.A. many people believe girls are better at relationshipsB. most boys consider their friends very importantC. boys may be better at keeping friendships than girlsD. boys may be more active in a friendship34. As a boy gets older, he tends to________.A. widen his circle of friends to include different kinds of peopleB. shift his focus from his friends to himselfC. leave his parents out of his friendshipD. be confused about what a friendship is35. What's the best title for the text?A. Friendships between Boys and GirlsB. Boys and Their FriendshipC. Childhood and Adolescent FriendshipD. Tips on Making Friends with BoysC“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American frie nd’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on google．com．To my surprise，there areover 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew. All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员）group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chines，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea withhoney in a grocery store. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．36. The writer himself felt surprised at ______．A. th e Chinglish expression “Long time no see”B. “Long time no see” used as standard American EnglishC. so many literal translation of the expressions used in AmericaD. finding out Americans use the expression every day37. The word “stew” in t he 4th paragraph probably means ______．A. mixture literatureB. Confucius’ wordsC. a kind of cooked dishD. American changing cultures38.

Hollywood made “Long time no see” popularC. the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesD. cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew39. The main idea of the passage is that ______．A. some Chinese expressions are introduced into EnglishB. you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in AmericaC. some American expressions can be used in ChinaD. American English keep being enriched from different cultures40. According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?A. Informal language sometimes doesn’t go with grammar and structure．B. Languages are always ruled by grammar and structure．C. “Long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage．D. There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew．DTAIBEI－Increasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the island’s “China rush”, seeking education on the Chinese mainland．According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate（研究生）programs on the mainland totaled 461 in 1996, 928 in 1997 and 839 in 1998．Although no latest official numbers were available,” Netbig. Com Said this number had risen between 30 to 50 percent annually in the past two years with well over 1000 entering mainland campuses last year.The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on Chinese mainland college and universities. “Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market, Net. Com vice-president Ingrid Huang said．“I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people,” said Lydia Chang, a 19-year-oldmajoring in journalism at Shih Shin University. Chang plans to go on to get a master’s degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies.A journalism graduate student, surnamed Lin, at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese m ainland since “there will be better career prospects now that more Taiwanese companies are going there”. “They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations,” said Yang Ching-yao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies.
