With the two high mountains just in front of his house, his family and he had to walk a long way around the mountains whenever they had something to do on the other side of the mountains. One day, Yu Gong called all his family together to talk about how to move the two mountains to other places. His wife said, “You can't even move a small hill, not to mention (更不必说) the high mountains.” “The Bohai Sea is big enough to contain (包含) all the earth and stones,” Yu Gong said. So he decided to do that. A man named Zhi Sou saw them working and tried to stop them, saying, “You are so silly! You're so old and weak that you can't even take away the grass and trees. How can you move the high mountains?” “You're wrong,” Yu Gong replied. “Look, my sons can continue my work after my death. After my sons die, my grandchildren will continue. So generations (代) after generations, there's no end. But the mountains can't grow higher. Do you still say I can't move them away?” Nobody could stop the family.

She is one of the most popular writers of all time. About four billion copies of her books have been sold, and they have been translated into 103 languages. She is often called the queen of the “whodunit”. A whodunit is a story that starts with a crime, usually murder. Then the main character of the story tries to discover who did it (or who-done-it). When Agatha Christie was five, she had read a lot of books and tried to write novels. At the age of 30, she had finished her first detective novel. Readers love her stories because there are always lots of clues (线索) and special information for them to think about as they read. Her two most famous characters are the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the elderly amateur (非专业的) detective Miss Marple. Christie always wrote about places that she knew, like Torquay, the English town where she was born in 1890 and lived for a long time. But her readers are lucky because she was also a great traveler. She was married to an archaeologist (考古学家) and travelled with him to Syria and Iraq, where they worked at archaeological “digs”. In the book Murder in Mesopotamia, Poirot found a murder at one of these digs. Christie also travelled to Egypt, the setting for Death on the Nile, and took the train ride between Istanbul and Paris(Murder on the Orient Express). Agatha Christie died in 1976, but her books continue to be popular today. For one week every year, lovers of her stories can go to the Agatha Christie Festival in Torquay. People dress up in clothes from the 1920s and 1930s, like characters in her stories. Jazz bands play at tea parties and there are dinners on old trains and at old country houses. Visitors have a lot of fun trying to discover who the “killer” is—or whodunit. (　　)68.What does the underlined word “whodunit” most probably mean? A.Detective novel. B.Fairy tale. C.News report. D.Talent show. (　　)69.What can we know about the main character in Agatha Christie's stories according to Paragraph 1&2? A.He is usually the murderer. B.He is always Hercule Poirot. C.He tries to find out the murderer. D.He is often the queen of Egypt. (　　)70.Check the countries that Agatha Christie travelled to? ①Syria　②Iraq　③Egypt　④India　⑤France　⑥China A.②③④⑤ B.①③⑤⑥ C.①②③⑤ D.②③⑤⑥ (　　)71.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A.Christie's stories are always set in places that she had lived in or visited. B.The novel Death on the Nile is set on an old train. C.Christie's novels have been keeping popular since she died in 1976. D.Fans dress up like characters in her stories for one week every year. (　　)72.What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage? A.To introduce world's famous detectives. B.To introduce a kind of books—Whodunit. C.To describe places Christie travelled to. D.To introduce Agatha Christie and her books. 　　B)请先阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中,使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Once there was a baby eagle (鹰) on a cliff (山崖).

When his mother saw his grade, she was very angry with him. She told Xiaohu not to play football anymore. He had to do his homework at home after school to get good grades like his classmate Xiaowen. However, Xiaowen's father thought that although Xiaowen got good grades in the exam, he hardly ever did exercise, so he was always sick and his health condition was too poor. His father asked him to do as much exercise as Xiaohu did. But in my opinion, I think Xiaowen and Xiaohu are both great. Everyone has his own advantages and disadvantages. Parents should realize their children's advantages and encourage them instead of comparing their own children's disadvantages with the advantages of others' children. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
