AIt was not yet eleven o’clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare.While the youth stood on the landing­place searching in his pockets for money，the ferryman lifted a lantern，by the aid of which，together with the newly risen moon，he took a very accurate survey of the stra nger’s figure.He was a young man of barely eighteen years，evidently country bred(长大的)，and now，as it seemed，on his first visit to town.He was wearing a rough gray coat，which was in good shape，but which had seen many winters before this one.The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather，and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister，and on his head was a three­cornered hat，which in its better days had sheltered the grayer h ead of the lad’s father.In his left hand was a walking stick，and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung.Brown，curly hair，well­shaped­features，bright，cheerful eyes wer e nature’s gifts，and worth all that art could have done for his adornment(装饰物)．The youth，whose name was Robin，paid the boatman，and then walked forward into the town with a light step，as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day.As he walked，he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were enteringLondon or Madrid，instead of the little metropolis(都市)of a New England colony. 26．What time of the year was it in this story?A．Winter. B．Fall.C．Summer. D．Spring.27．The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because ________.A．he was going to row across the river anywayB．he saw that Robin was young and richC．he would give extra moneyD．he felt sorry for him because Robin looked poor28．The stockings that Robin wore were obviously ________.A．well worn B．very expensiveC．handmade D．much too big29．From the text we can learn that Robin had traveled ________.A．from London B．from MadridC．from a nearby city D．over thirty miles30．At what time of the day did Robin cross the river?A．Night. B．Late afternoon.C．Midday. D．Morning.BFew of us haven’t read Cinderella，the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams.Some might not want to admit it，but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻)or neglect.Mary Santiago has that secret dream，too.Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story，a film set in a US high school.Mary is shy but loves to pared with other girls，she is invisible.However，her world changes completely when a famous teenage pop singer，Joey Parker，appears.Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind，handsome and d esirable.Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball.They meet and fall in love with each other.But when Mary has to rush back home，she leaves behind her MP3 player，which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams.Of course，there is a wicked (邪恶的)stepmother，who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies.Dominique treats Mary like a maid anddoes everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school.Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary，even if that means embarrassing her.The story，though it mostly follows Cinderella，does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale.Refreshingly，the film，unlike many high school films，does not focus on looks，although the actors are all beautiful.There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point，” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson.“The focus is firmly on following your dream.”31．The first paragraph is mainly to ________.A．build interest and lead us to Mary’s secret dreamB．remind us why Cinderella is so popular all the yearsC．inform us of the main topic of the whole passageD．tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is32．In the movie，Mary Santiago is the main character who ________.A．is brave in expressing her loveB．is attended badly by the stepmotherC．has a dream of meeting a princeD．is embarrassed by the pop singer33．What can we infer from the passage?A．Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class.B．Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing.C．Not many people have a dream to be realized.D．The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.34．The passage is mainly ________.A．an introduction to a filmB．a review about a filmC．an essay about dreamsD．an advertisement of Cinderella35．According to the passage，Another Cinderella Story ________.A．follows Cinderella with nothing newB．pays more attention to the looks of the actorsC．encourages young people to follow their dreamsD．focuses more on materialism than other filmsCBotswana is situated in Southern Africa.There are many top­quality places to enjoy your African trip.The Okavango DeltaThe Okavango Delta is the world’s largest in land delta and is a top spot to visit during your Botswana trip.The whole delta covers an area of 15,000 km2.The Okavango River ends in this area flooding the whole region.Besides the regular flooding，rainfall can drastically increase the size of this water body，up to 22,000 km2.The delta also contains the Moremi Game Reserve (禁猎区) and it is one of the best places to see wildlife.Animals such as hippopotamuses，crocodiles，buffalo，rhinoceroses，elephants and antelopes can be very easily found in the region.There are over 500 species of birds in this area.The Chobe National ParkThe Chobe National Park is situated in Northwest Botswana.It is the third largest park in Bostwana and is famous for its large wildlife population.The Chobe National Park has diverse animal habitats and it is wonderful to watch these beautiful animals right in front of you.The park is also very famous for its elephants and is considered to be the largest area for elephants in Africa.Apart from the huge elephant population，other wild animals such as lions，leopards，wild dogs，antelopes，hippopotamuses，buffalo and crocodiles can also be seen.The Kalahari Game ReserveThe Central Kalahari Game Reserve is situated in the Kalahari Desert，covering an area of 52,800 km2.It is the second largest game reserve in the rge areas of trees，bushes and grass are widely spread in this reserve，thus adding to the beauty of the place.The reserve contains a huge concentration of wildlife.Many wild animals including giraffes can be spotted easily there.36．This passage is mainly about ________.A．the writer’s traveling experience in BotswanaB．some places of top quality to enjoy in BotswanaC．beautiful countries to visit in Southern AfricaD．activities people can do in Southern Africa37．Wh at does the underlined word “drastically” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Necessarily.
