AI believe children have a very pure sense of humor. Well, I would like to share my experiences with you.The other day when I was out with a friend and her daughter Jane at a restaurant, Jane ordered an apple dessert, which was the most attractive dish in that restaurant. However, when she had a bite of the pie, she shouted loudly, “Mom, why does it look good but tastes like rubber?”My friend was uneasy. Then the waiter gave us another dish.A child can say funny things. I was at a friend’s home for tea and her son, Mark, wanted her to get up. His mom replied, “I can’t, because my foot has fallen asleep now.”Little Mark then sang a song and asked, “Mom, will it wake up now?” We laughed together.The other day we were having an interesting conversation over lunch and my friend, an animal activist(积极分子), was arguing with another group member. Her son Tommy suddenly stood up, “Mom, people should never be allowed to shoot extinct animals!” That was funny and the child did manage to turn the argument into a pleasant conversation.Well, children sometimes really surprise us. I think we can have a lot to learn from them. They can help us understand the simple world through their eyes.21.Why did Jane shout loudly in the restaurant?A.She wanted to make us laugh.B.She thought her dish was attractive.C.She wanted another piece of dessert.D.She didn’t like the flavor of her food.22.Why did Mark try to sing a song?A.He wanted to help his mother fall asleep.B.He was trying to wake up his mother’s foot.C.He wanted to get some tea to drink.D.He would like to get some attention.23.What Tommy said made the whole group________.A.have a pleasant conversationB.stop their conversationC.all argue with him at onceD.stand up and laugh happily24.The author________to show how lovely children are.A.points out differencesB.gives live examplesC.explains the causesD.lists common numbersBAn AnnouncementIt was a small town which lay by the coast. Most people there lived by catching fish. The hurricanes often struck the area from July to October. Some of the people died on the sea when their boats were blown over by the heavy winds. So they paid much attention to the weather forecast. They were afraid to meet with the hurricanes when they were catching fish on the sea.Each of the families had a radio and people always took them with themselves and listened to them at any time.It was September. A hurricane attacked the town one night. Plenty of trees were pushed over and all the electrics and telephone lines were broken. People couldn’t watch TV, or call their friends, or go to work. To their anger, they couldn’t listen to the weather forecast the Town Radio Station broadcast. The food and fresh water would soon be short and the patients couldn’t be given medical care—no medicine could be carried there. People didn’t know what would happen and they looked anxious.On the fourth day they read an announcement on the Town Weekly. It was written, “Recently we have to stop the weather forecast because of the bad weather. We usually get the forecast from the airport. But the roads are all blocked by the fallentrees and stones. Whether or not we’ll be able to broadcast the weather forecast tomorrow depends on the weather! ”25.The people in the town often took radios with themselves because________.A.they felt lonely when catching fish on the sea and listened to the weather forecastB.they were interested in the weather forecastC.they couldn’t watch TV on the seaD.they hoped to listen to some good news26.The writer wrote the passage mainly to________.A.describe the people’s normal life thereB.give a news reportC.describe a bad effect of natural disastersD.warn people to be careful against hurricane27.Reading the announcement, the people were________.A.encouraged B.happyC.excited D.disappointedCEvery hour spent outdoors each week can reduce a child’s chance of becoming shortsighted by two percent. Children who are shortsighted spend an average of 3.7 fewer hours a week outside compared with those who have normal vision, a study has found.Shortsightedness runs in families and has also been linked to a host of factors. They include the amount of time spent focusing on near objects and levels of physical activity. But simply spending time out of the house may be enough to protect the eyesight. Being outdoors can reduce the amount of time that children spend in reading or playing computer games, researchers said.Between 15 and 20 per cent of British people are shortsighted, but the problem is much more serious in parts of East Asia.There, as much as 80 per cent of the population are shortsighted.One study compared children living in different countries. It found that those in Australia had better vision on average than people of the same age in China and Singapore. The Australian group read and achieved asmuch as those in other countries, but they were found to spend more time outdoors.Dr. Sherwin, one of the researchers who did the study, said the benefit from being outdoors could be linked to increased UV radiation(紫外线辐射).Shortsightedness is caused by having longer eyes and some studies have shown that some chemicals affected by UV rays may control the length of the eye. A lack of sunlight could make such chemicals grow too much, he explained.He said, “It could be caused by not enough UV radiation, and it could also be caused by spending less time looking into the distance or not enough physical activity.”28.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Children’s shortsightedness can be cured.B.There are several causes of children’s shortsightedness.C.Spending more time outdoors can lead to better eyesight.D.Children who spend more time outdoors are much healthier.29.What does the underlined word “They”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Near objects.B.Levels of physical activity.C.Families which have shortsightedness.D.Some factors linked to shortsightedness.30.According to Paragraph 3, in the study children in Australia________.A.achieved lessB.had poorer eyesightC.stayed outdoors moreD.spent less time reading31.Which of the following is NOT mentioned by Dr. Sherwin as a cause of short sightedness?A.Receiving too little UV radiation.B.Not taking part in enough physical activities.C.Spending little time looking into the distance.D.Not eating enough food that is good for our eyesight.DHave you ever been laughed at by others? Being laughed at is a common fear.But a study found that this fear is not the same around the world.It differs from culture to culture.People in Finland were the least likely to believe that people laughing in their presence were making fun of them. Less than ten per cent of Finns in the study said they would think that, compared to eighty per cent of people in Thailand.Some people in the study said they felt unsure of themselves in social situations but hid their feelings of insecurity(不安全).Others said they avoided social situations where they had been laughed at before.The study found that people in Turkmenistan and Cambodia were more likely to be in the first group.They would hide their feelings of insecurity if they were around other people’s laughter.But people in Iraq, Egypt and Jordan were more likely to try to avoid such situations if they felt they had been laughed at before.Shy people often avoid situations that would force them into close contact with other people.They worry that something they say or do will make other people laugh at them.But some people worry much more than others.They may have gelotophobia. Gelos is a Greek word.It means laughter.Phobia means fear.This fear of laughter can be truly sad for those who live with it.It can affect how they lead their lives.In the study, a team from the University of Zurich led more than ninety researchers from around the world.They wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true gelotophobia.Another purpose of the study was to compare the levels of fear of being laughed at in different cultures.The researchers surveyed more than twentytwo thousand people in fortytwo different languages.The findings appeared in the scientific journal Humour.32.The author asked a question in the first paragraph in order to________.A.show his/her doubtB.introduce the topicC.ask for the answerD.entertain readers33.Paragraph 3 mainly tells us________.A.people in different cultures show different fears of being laughed atB.people in Egypt think people laughing at them are making fun of themC.people always try to avoid situations where they may be looked down onD.many people usually try to hide their feelings when being laughed at in strange places34.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.People in Thailand like making fun of others.B.People in Iraq, Egypt and Cambodia often avoided people’s laughter.C.The study found that people of Finland always made other people laugh.D.Some people hid their feelings of insecurity if they felt unsure of themselves.35.According to the passage, shy people often________.A.live their life with great fearB.fear that they may hurt othersC.worry much more than othersD.avoid getting in touch with others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。
