While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台),I said hello to an old couple who were also paying for gas. I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s.

Then I noticed that the Friendly ford shop-a shop selling cars-was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?”I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment; so when I got home; I wrotethem a note to say thanks, I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.

AWhen I was young, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighbor who w as nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood. When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planting trees. And his life’s goal was to make it a forest.Dr. Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting. He talked about trees that we ren’t watered would grow deep roots in search of water. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak (橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years. Every now and then, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago. They’re very strong now.I planted a couple of trees a few years later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them. Whenever a cold wind blows, they shake their leaves and branches.The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.21.What was Dr. Gibbs’ life goal?A. To save more lives.B. To build a forest.C. To make a lot of money.D. To study plants.22.One of Dr. Gibbs’ theories about planting was that ______.A. he often talked to the treesB. he kicked the trees heavilyC. he never watered the treesD. he buried the leaves around the roots 23.What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. Trees are not as weak as we think.B. Difficulty is necessary for growthC. Planting trees is good for the environment.D. We sh ould listen to others’ advice.BDolphins(海豚) are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time ---at least twenty or thirty years.Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area-except for The Penguin.Today,some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them. 24.Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _____.A. live in groupsB. have their own languageC. are warm-bloodedD. have large brains25.Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?A. Its jaw.B. Its earsC. Its nose.D. Its eyes.26.By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that _____.A. people are cruel to animalsB. Jack is different from other dolphinsC. dolphins are friendly and cleverD. dolphins should be protected by law27.Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?A. They wanted his help.B. They enjoyed playing with him.C. He was lonely and liked to be with peopleD.

However, since electricity bec ame more and more expensive, people began to pay much moreattention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜). During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy saving.House building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy eng ineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy saving houses.32.What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A.The climate of their areas B.The energy for their housesC.The fashions for their housesD.The building materials for their houses33.People in some areas gain a source of heat by _________.A.Keeping their livestock downstairsB.Protecting their livestock from the coldC.Sharing their houses only with their cowsD.Living on the second floor with their live stock34.The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to th e fact that ________.A.Heat raises the temperature in the housesB.Heat increases the temperature of rocksC.Heat goes up if temperature is raisedD.Heat goes in the upward direction35.From the passage, we can infer that __________.A.People will no longer consider building materials in the futureB.Energy saving buildings will become more popular in the futureC.Almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksD.Energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
