16、It was Saturday morning and I asked seven-year-old Kelley to let her daddy take her to gym class. But she didn’t agree. I explained that some friends would visit our house that day and I had to clean the house. But the truth was, I had spent 20 years watching Kelley’s five elder brothers and sisters take lessons and I just wanted to get out of it. However, seeing K elley was going to cry, I decided to do this once more.
Looking through the door, I watched as the teacher led the students to a rope hanging in the corner of the gym. One after another, each child in line climbed up the thick rope while the teacher held it at the bottom. Then it was Kelley’s turn—the youngest in the class. With a big smile, she climbed higher and higher. Then it happened. About halfway up, the teacher loudly warned, “Don’t go up any farther than you’re able to come down.”
Kelley halted... Then slowly moved down all the way to the floor. I knew she was heading to the top of that rope and was perfectly capable (能胜任的) of reaching it. Why did she stop? I questioned her on the way home.
“Kelley, could you have climbed all the way to the top?”
“Yes,” she quietly replied.
“Then why didn’t you keep going?”
Silence.
“Was it because of what the teacher said?” I asked.
She nodded.
I knew it was time to teach.
“Kelley, don’t let anybody make you doubt yourself. Don’t ever let anyone keep you from kn owing what you can do... Even though they seem bigger, or smarter or older. Will you remember that?” I said.
“Yes!” she answered quickly.
I was glad I chose to take Kelley to the class and got the opportunity to teach her an important lesson.
1．The writer did NOT want to take Kelley to gym class at first because she __________.
A．became very tired of it B．needed to visit some friends
C．had so much housework to do D．had to take lessons herself

17、English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor appl e in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of toot h is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
1．Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are
______.
A．clever B．crazy C．azy D．dull
2．According to the passage ______.
A．pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
B．there should be egg in an eggplant
C．sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different
D．boxing rings should be round
3．Which of the following is the correct plural?
A．Beeth. B．Geese. C．Meese. D．Tooth.
4．Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A．A wise man and a wise guy.
B．Overlook and oversee.
C．Quite a lot and quite a few.
D．Hot as hell and cold as hell.

18、Luca Gramberini has been scuba-diving(戴水肺潜水) since he was a kid. His family owns a scuba company. For the past three summers, Luca has added gardening to his underwater activities. He helps run Nemo's Garden, a project to grow plants in the sea.
From May through September, Luca and other divers are working on Nemo's Garden in the Mediterranean Sea, 150 feet from the coast of Noli, Italy. Five large balloon-like objects, called biosphere(生物圈), hold plants such as beans and strawberries. The biosphere is filled with air and placed 20 feet below the surface. “My father came up with the idea because he loves gardening very much,” Luca said.
According to Luca, the sea is a good place to grow plants because underwater temperatures remain stable, changing little from day to night. The biosphere acts like greenhouses. Inside the air-filled biosphere, fresh water keeps evaporating(蒸发), providing the plants with a good environment to grow in. “We have already seen the plants, grow faster and better,” Luca says. “And there are fewer storms that can knock down the biosphere during the summer.”
Luca hopes Nemo's Garden will provide a new way of growing crops. “There is not enough land on the Earth,” he says. “And in many developing countries, bad conditions make it difficult for crops to grow.”
Though the project has just started, Nemo's Garden has achieved succes s and is moving to different areas. “We're going to try growing other plants,” Luca says. “We hope to set up biosphere in other countries. There are many possibilities.”
1．Nemo's Garden is a project to ________.
A．do scuba-diving in the sea
B．stop storms in the sea
C．make fresh water from the sea
D．grow plants under the water
2．How long do Luca and other divers work on Nemo's Garden?
A．One month. B．Five months. C．Four months. D．Three months.
3．The underlined word “stable” in Paragraph 3 means “_______” in Chinese.
A．平衡的B．正常的C．稳定的D．合适的
4．The passage is probably taken from the _______ part of a newspaper.
A．travel B．science C．health D．sports
5．The best title for this passage is _______.
A．Gardens in the Sea B．Projects for Summer Activities
C．Plants in Greenhouses D．Conditions for Crop Growing

19、At present, only a few students do some reading after class. Here are several reasons. First of all, quite a lot of students are busy with too much homework. Secondly, They don’t have time for reading. What’s more, some students haven’t formed the habits of reading. They would rather spend their spare time on the phone or the Internet.
However, reading is very important. By reading students can learn more about the world. Besides, it can help them
develop the way of thinking. Last but not least, reading can make students’ life more colorful.
There is still something we can do to help the students read more books. For one thing, teachers are supposed to cut down the homework so that students can have more time to read. For another. It’s a good idea to build reading clubs so that stude nts can read more books.。
