A
About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a filmstudio(影棚) to take part in a crowdscene.Although our“act”would last only for a short time，we could see quite a number of interesting things.
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big moviecamera was wheeled into position.The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby.Since it was hot in the studio，it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path.A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him，and soon the trees were covered in“snow”．Two more fans were turned on, and a“strong wind”blew through the trees.The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.
The next scene was a complete contrast(对比)．The way it was filmed was quite unusual.Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen.An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island.By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us.For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film“stars”！
21．Who is the author?
A．A cameraman. B．A film director.
C．A crowdscene actor. D．A workman for scene setting.
22．What made the author feel cold?
A．The heavy snowfall. B．The manmade scene.
C．The low temperature. D．The film being shown.
23．What would happen in the“three minutes”mentioned in the last paragraph?
A．A new scene would be filmed.
B．More stars would act in the film.
C．The author would leave the studio.
D．The next scene would be prepared.
B
The other day I was watching Sportscenter when one of those “human interest” stories came on and really caught my attention.
The hero was about a 27yearold professional Bass Fisherman named Clay Dyer. At first, they played it off as another guy trying to make the cut on the Bassmaster tour until they showed a picture of him. No legs, no arm, or rather, he has only 1/3 of his right arm. That's all that he has.
It was such an amazing story that I was wondering what this guy could do. Growing up, he learned to play baseball and basketball, but found that fishing was his true calling. And he does it all on his own. He holds the fishing pole under his chin and uses that and his stub (残端) arm to cast and reel in the fish. He uses his teeth to help him unhook fish. He ties his own hooks on with his mouth, never really asking anyone else to help. Clay Dyer even knows how to swim. Since his body can't produce enough sweat on its own, he has to take a dip in the lake every few hours to keep cool. He dives in just like anyone else, then somehow treads water (踩水) with his stub arm, then, with a little help, pulls himself back up into the boat and goes on fishing.
Clay Dyer has never looked for others' pity, nor has he allowed his physical disabilities to prevent him from becoming a professional fisherman. His motto for life is “If I can, you can.” He refuses to use special equipment, saying, “I want to do it with one hand the way they do it with two.”
24．Why did the author become interested in Clay Dyer?
A．He assumed Dyer was living happily.
B．He thought that Dyer could do nothing.
C．He took great pity on this disabled man.
D．He wanted to know what Dyer could do.
25．We learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A．it seems easy for Clay Dyer to go fishing
B．Dyer aims to behave like a normal person
C．special equipment is allowed when fishing
D．physical disabilities destroy his faith in life
26．Which word best describes Clay Dyer's personality?
A．Diligent. B．Faithful.
C．Inspiring. D．Stubborn.
27．The text is intended to ________.
A．persuade readers to watch Sportscenter
B．share Clay Dyer's life story with readers
C．call on readers to care for the disabled man
D．express the author's admiration for Clay Dyer

The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles(风格). It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?
First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12yearold brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly (卷曲的) hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art.
On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother's expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn't stop looking at this painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.
32．The aim of the mother's plan was to________.
A．take them to visit the museum
B．introduce them to the world of art
C．ask them to read about artists
D．show them different painting styles
33．What was the writer's experience in the museum before the last visit?

C．She liked many paintings.
D．She hardly enjoyed herself.
34．What made the writer go through a change that summer?
A．Artists in the Middle Ages.
B．A strange way of painting.
C．One of Mary's paintings.
D．Her mother's instruction.
35．From the text, we can see________.
A．the importance of curiosity
B．the power of family education
C．the value of learning
D．the effect of art

Millions of people all over the world use the word OK.In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world.OK means all right or acceptable.It expresses agreement or approval.
__36__Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw(乔克托语)．The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word okay.Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century.
But many people doubt this.Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word “OK” in reports published in the 1960s.He said the word began being used in the 1830s.__37__Some foreignborn people wrote “ all correct” as “ollkorrect”， and used the letters OK.Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago.They said he put the first letters of his name—O and K—on each object people gave him to send on the train.
__38__The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840.They called their group the OK club.The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born—Old Kinderhook, New York.
Then there is the expression AOK.It is a spaceage expression.It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard.He was the first American to be launched into space.His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned.Shepard reported, “Everything is AOK.”__39__One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received.
There are also funny ways to say okay.__40__These expressions were first used in the 1930s.Today, a character on the American television series “The Simpsons” says it another way.He says okelydoke.
