A
It was a winter morning， just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars， Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually did. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
   The bike， a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work， putting in 60—hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货）, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
   I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that， several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike， then called my husband to pick it up。 Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job。 It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
   People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性）as a whole. And it has influenced(影响）us to be more mindful of ways we， too， can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares。 And the results can be everlasting。
( ）21. Why was the bike so important to the couple？
A. The man’s job was bike racing。           B。 It was their family’s only thing.

    A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.       B。 people were busy before Christmas
   C. the stranger brought over the bike         D。 life was hard for the young family.
（ )23. How did people get to know the couple's problem？
    A. From radio broadcasts。                 B。 From a newspaper.
    C. From TV news。                       D. From a stranger.
( )24。 What do the couple learn from their experience？
    A. Strangers are usually of little help.        B. One should take care of their bike.
    C. News reports make people famous.       D. An act of kindness can mean a lot。文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络

The shocking disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has captured the attention of millions around the world as the search for the airplane and its passengers and crew continues。 What happened to the flight's 239 passengers and crew after the plane left Kuala Lumpur on Saturday? It is becoming an increasingly desperate question as the days pass.
But it's hardly the first mystery of its kind. Here are some half-solved and unsolved airline mysteries that kept investigators clueless for years。
Air France Flight 447: An Airbus A330 flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris dived into the Atlantic Ocean in 2009， killing all 228 passengers and crew on board. But it took a full five days for search and rescue teams to find the wreck（残骸）and another three years for investigators to report that ice crystals had caused the autopilot to disconnect. The bodies of 74 passengers remain unrecovered。
Amelia Earhart: Ace（王牌) pilot Amelia Earhart disappeared in her twin-engine monoplane Electra over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe. No trace of her plane was ever found even after a multi—million dollar search effort, and Earhart was officially declared dead in 1939.
Flying Tiger Line Flight 739: A U。S。 military flight left Guam in 1962 with more 90 personnel headed for the Philippines, but it never arrived。 The pilots never issued a distress call, and 1，300 people involved in the U.S。 military search never found any trace of wreckage.
British South American Airways: It took more than 50 years to find any trace of the 11 people aboard a 1947 flight that disappeared in the Andes Mountains. A pair of Argentineans rock climbers discovered engine wreckage in the Andes in 1998， and an army expedition later found human remains as well。
Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571: A flight headed to Santiago, Chile carrying 45 passengers and crew crashed into the Andes Mountains in poor weather in 1972, killing twelve people。 In the meantime, eight were killed in an avalanche（雪崩） that hit the plane’s wreckage where they were taking shelter, and the rest stayed alive by eating the flesh of the dead before they were finally found more than two months after disappearing out of the sky。
（ )26. What can we learn from Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571?
A. 12 people were lost until now.
B。 25 people were rescued instantly。
C. The rest who stayed alive killed 8 people.
D. 8 were killed by a fall of a large mass of snow down a mountainside。
( )27。 From the passage, what could have led to British South American Airways crash？
A。 The bad weather。        B。 Not mentioned.  
C。 The ice crystals。        D。 The lightening.本文为互联网收集，请勿用作商业用途

（ )29。 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？

How quickly can you cou nt from one to ten?Do you use ten different words to do it？Can you do it in English，or do you have to use your first language？Do you count on your fingers?Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world。But scientists have discovered that it is not true。
People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers。In the United States，people begin counting with their first finger，which they extend or stick out。They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb（拇指）to count to five.Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten.In China，people count by using different finger positions。In this way，a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.
Besides ways of finger counting，scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers.Some languages have only a few words for numbers，and others have no words for numbers.A group of scientists studied aboriginal（土著的）people in Australia。These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers。They don’t even have words for numbers.However，they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.
In a similar study，researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe（部落）in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”。 They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees”,“more trees” or many trees".Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count，“But here is a group that does not count.They could learn,but it's not useful in their culture,so they’ve never picked it up."
Although all humans are able to understand quantities（数量），not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting.Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives。Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math，too。
（ ）31. The writer begins with the  four questions in order to_______ 。
A. make a survey B. interest readers
C. tell a story D. solve math problems
( ）32. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U.S.and China？
A。 People from China count much faster than people from the U.S.
B。 People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.
C。 People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting.
D。 People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.
（ )33。 Which of the following is true about aboriginal Australians？
A. They have only a few words for numbers。
B. They have hand movements to stand for numbers.
C。 They can only count to five on their fingers.
D. They can understand different ideas about numbers。
( ）34。 The study of the Piraha tribe shows that_________ 。
A。 people all over the world know how to count
B。 people of the tribe have words for numbers
C. some groups of people are not smart enough to count
D. counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe
( ）35。 What is the main idea of the passage?
A。 People from different cultures have different ideas  about numbers and math.
B. Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans。
C. In some aboriginal cultures，people don’t even know how to count。
D. Some languages don’t have number words because people don’t need numbers。文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络
