I prepaid and then put my wallet on the bumper(保险杆), and drove off . I hadn’t even had time to miss it when our phone rang and a man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my wallet and to my surprise, I didn’t find it. He asked me to tell him how much money was in it. He then told me where to pick up my wallet.As I pulled into his driveway, I noticed his handicapped van(残疾人车)and the ramp(斜坡)going up to the house I was thinking that there was no way this man easily got out of his van and got my wallet off the street. He had to pull over, get in his wheelchair, lower the lift, and then pick it up. I was just surprised. I felt grateful.I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. I thanked him like 10 times for finding my wallet. I was stuck , though. I didn’t want to insult him by offering money, I really felt like offering something. so I asked him if there was anything I cou ld do to repay his kindness, and he said “Just pass it on”. I said I would be certain to do that. I was raised to be honest in any circumstance(状况) and I would have done so, without promising this fellow I would, but I wanted to repay his kindness, so I willingly promised I would.21. What did the man ask the writer to do?A. He asked the writer to pass his kindness onB. He asked the writer to be carefulC. He asked the writer to repay his kindnessD. He asked the writer to be honest22. What ca n we learn from the man’s action?A. Where there is a will, there’s a wayB. A friend in need is a friend indeedC. Help others, but not ask for anythingD. Good is rewarded with good23. Which of the following can best describe the man who pic ked up the writer’s wallet?A. LoyalB. NobleC. HonestD. PromisingBDo you drink water that's been left sitting out overnight or even for another day? Have you noticed it tastes different?Tap water that has been left to sit out slowly begins to acquire(获得) off taste. Many people think that this is because of microorganisms. But that's not what makes old water taste not fresh. For that we can thank carbon dioxide. After about 12 hours, tap water starts to go flat as carbon dioxide in the air starts to mix with the water in the glass, lowering its pH and giving it an off taste. But it's most likely safe to drink.However, back to those microorganisms. If you use a dirty glass day after day, there is more of a chance of bacteria making themselves known; a risk that increases if you share the glass with another mouth as well. But assuming(假设) you use a fresh glass every few days, you probably won't have a problem unless the glass has been touched by dirty fingers, and especially if those dirty fingers went unwashed after using the bathroom.As for plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car, step away from the bottle, warns Dr. Kellogg Schwab, director of the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute. "A chemical called bisphenol-A, or BPA, along with other things used to make plastic can leach(过滤) into your water if the bottle heats up or sits in the sun," he explains. BPA, as you probably know, has been linked to everything from heart disease to cancer. Schwab also adds that plastic used for commercial bottled water isn't meant to be washed or refilled, so use only one time and recycle. Or don't buy them at all; use refillable water bottles instead.24. Tap water begin to acquire an off taste because of______ .A. carbon dioxideB. BPAC. the glassD. the microorganism25. According to Paragragh 2 , tap water that's been left sitting out for 12 hours____.A. contains few microorganismsB. tastes betterC. is still safe to drinkD. is most likely undrinkable26. What should we do with plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car?A. Refill them with fresh waterB. Clean them and use them again.C. Use them after they cool down. .D. Throw them away.27. Which of the following is true about BPA?A. It is safe for people to use.B. It is a kind of new material.C. It can cause great harm to people.D. It is the main material to make plastic.CIt is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators(评论员) fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, theabout the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, “because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena(现象).” The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” A ccording to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs ,which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”, In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.28.The author mentions Dr. Johnson’s comment to show that________.A. most commentators agree with Dr. JohnsonB. English conversations usually start with the weatherC. the comment was accurate two hundred years agoD. Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observation29.What does th e underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?A. A social trend.B. An unknown phenomenon.C.A historical concept.D. An emotional state.30.According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that________.A. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherB. there is nothing special about the English weather]C. English people talk about the weather for its uncertaintyD. the English weather attracts people to the British Isles31.What is the author’s main purpose of wri ting the passage?A. To explain what English weather-speak is about.B. To analyze misconceptions about the English weather.C. To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.D. To convince people that the English weather is changeable.DSummer Surfing USA15-Day Tour for Beach LoversVisit these beautiful Southern California surfing beachesEl Capitan in Santa Barbara, Surf Riders in Malibu, the Wedge at Newport Beach, Doheny at Dana Point.
