Horses are certainly a marvel (奇异的事物) of creation. They are extremely strong and interact with their environment through their senses. Compared to us, they see better, hear better, have a better sense of smell, and can feel the smallest insect on their bodies.
Hearing
Horses have excellent hearing, better than that of humans. They can focus one ear on the rider and one ear on something else. Noise created by traffic, wind, and other distractions (分心的事物) can greatly affect their hearing, and cause horses to become scared. Though horses in more complex environments can be used to disturbing noises after repeated exposure to (暴露于) them, all these sounds and many others can scare horses unfamiliar with them, making it difficult for riders to keep control.
Smell
Horses have an excellent sense of smell, much better than that of humans. They may use smell to find their way back. and they can tell differences in the smell of water. Most horses are happy to drink muddy water from a puddle (水坑) because it has a natural smell, but they may refuse to drink from an unfamiliar source. Many riders travel with an old water bucket so their horses will welcome water in the
campground.
Touch
Horses are so sensitive to touch that they can feel a fly land on a single hair. Slight pressure from a rider’s legs can guide a horse forward and anything touching its body hair can alert (使警觉) the animal to trouble.
Curiosity
Some horses are exceptionally curious. Their curiosity leads them to explore anything new in their environment. They smell, push, move, pick up, or play with new objects within their reach. They may use their teeth or kneel to reach underneath fences for something they want.
21．The underlined word “scared”in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.
A．puzzled B．frightened C．curious D．calm 22．Riders are advised to travel with an old water bucket because _____.

Located in Pisa, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy has become the sign of Italy. It
is the third oldest structure in Pisa’s Cathedral Square. There are eight floors in the Leaning Tower of Pisa including observation deck at the top. The weight of the tower is about 14,500 metric tons. There are amazing facts of the Leaning Tower of Pisa that we will mention here.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa was not originally intended to lean, but because it was built on soft soils the tower gradually leaned to one side. Because of its restoration (修复) from 1990 to 2001, the tower had a tilt (倾斜) of 5.5 degrees and more famous than before. Many people think that it will fall one day. Millions of tourists come to the lawns around the tower to take the classic photo pretending to hold up or knock down the tower.
It is said that you must visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa during the day. At night the shops are closed and it appears unimpressive. But, if you plan to visit on a full moon night, the tower will look charming. Mornings are the best time to beat the crowds. Summer in Pisa is very hot and wet, but you can expect rain in fall and winter.
Even though some people regard the tower to be an engineering failure owing to the tilt, the tower has acquired a special place in history. The tower has also been used for experiments by the famous Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei. He is believed to have thrown two balls of different mass from the tower to prove that their falling time is not related to their mass.
On your tour you should not miss various places of interest near the Leaning Tower of Pisa including Lucca, Florence, and Santa Maria della Spina.
25．Why does the tower tend to lean to one side?
A．Because the base of the tower was not strong.
B．Because it was originally designed like that.
C．Because many people came to knock it down.
D．Because the builders used lots of soft soils.
26．What has made the tower much more famous?
A．It will fall to the ground in the near future.
B．It is an obvious engineering failure.
C．Galileo once did experiments on the tower.
D．The restoration lasted more than ten years.
27．When is the best time to visit the tower without being disturbed?
A．In summer. B．At night. C．In the morning. D．In winter.
C
Growing up in one of the toughest neighborhoods in New York City, my life was not always easy. My mother raised us in a city-owned apartment and my father suffered from drug problems. However, there was love at home. Quite often, my mother would have movie nights with us. One night, my mom came home with the movie To Sir, With Love, starring Sidney Poitier. In this movie, Mr. Poitier played a handsome, well-dressed, educated but strict teacher. As I watched, I was reminded of someone who I admired — Mr. John Walker.
Mr. Walker was my fifth-grade teacher. I remember getting my report card on the last day of fourth grade and seeing the words “New Teacher: Mr. Walker”. I was excited because I’d never had a male teacher before. On my first day of fifth grade, Mr. Walker laid down the class rules. I sat at my desk nervously, thinking, “How do I get out of his class?” I had no idea his class would be one of the most influential times in my life.
Mr. Walker always brought active things to our lives. He would give us weekly speeches, telling us that we didn’t have to be products of our environments — doing bad things or spending a life in prison. Mr. Walker always told us that we could do anything we wanted to do.
The first time I ever left New York City was for a school trip on a farm that Mr. Walker arranged for us. It was an overnight trip. We prepared for months by holding bake sales to raise money. Mr. Walker worked so hard. He wanted us to experience life outside of our own small world.
One day, Mr. Walker said we could put on a play in class. He said, “Waliek, this is your chance to show us what you’ve got, so if you want the lead part, you’d better go home and learn it by tomorrow.” I ran home and remembered the whole play in one night. I think I did this more for Mr. Walker. He knew that I wanted to be an entertainer
(表演者) and he believed in me. So he gave me that chance.
Another day, the school had a special performance and we noticed that Mr. Walker brought a special briefcase with him. As the host called on him, our class became nervous with excitement and curiosity. He opened his special briefcase and pulled out a gold trumpet (喇叭). Before he started, he devoted his performance to all the students, especially our class. It was the most beautiful music I’d e ver heard. I was so shocked and amazed. My teacher was not only one of the coolest, best dressed, educated men, but he was also an entertainer — just like me.
When I created my list of people who had a great influence on me, there was no doubt in my mind that Mr. Walker topped my list. He changed the course of my life. 28．Why is Sidney Poitier mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．To introduce Mr. John Walker. B．To remember the author’s difficult childhood.
C．To recall the movie nights. D．To review a movie.
29．On hearing the class rules given by Mr. Walker, the author _____.
A．was excited B．disliked them C．was embarrassed D．thought them important
30．What can we learn about the author from the passage?
A．He went to the cinema quite often during childhood.
B．He never left New York City during childhood.
C．He liked performing very much.
D．His father died from drug use.
31．Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．A great entertainer B．My family and our problems C．Tough time, valuable experience D．To Walker, with love
D
In Europe，many people make friends across the borders through town twinning．Two towns in different countries decide to become twin towns. Their citizens find penfriends in the twin town．They exchange newspapers and stamps．The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town．Officials visit the
twin town for celebrations．Ordinary citizens travel to the town，too，but not very often if it is far away．
Sometimes，schools even exchange school classes for two or three weeks．For example，German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain，staying with British families．A few months later，their British friends come to study in Germany．
Some towns even arrange exchange visits for theatre groups，choirs and orchestras （管弦乐队）．Others send lecturers to the twin town who tell the people there all about their own town，and show photos and slides．Some towns organize exhibitions to show works of art，for example paintings，by artists from their own town．
Many British towns are so pleased with the result of the twinning that they set out to find more that one twin town.
