B Do you know the story of The Old Man Tried to Move the Mountain in Chinese culture? Do you believe in Yugong’s spirit? In India there was an old man who really tired to move the mountain. Dashrath Manjhi was born into a poor family in Gehlaur village, India in 1934. One terrible day in 1959, his wife Falguni Devi, fell from the village mountain and was badly hurt. The nearest town with a doctor was close but a mountain stood in the way. The road around the mountain made the journey 90 kilometers. Falguni died before they could see the doctor.

They were grown in the Middle East at least 11,000 years ago. Figs are now grown in warm countries all around the world. Turkey, a small country in the sunny south of Europe, grows more figs than any other country in the world. In rainforests, the fig tree gives food and a home to all kinds of animals. Figs were so useful to the people of ancient (远古的) times that many believed figs were gifts from the gods. In Greece, another country in Europe, figs were so precious (珍贵的) that people weren't even allowed to sell them to other countries. Back then in Greece, there was no sugar, so people used sweet figs to make cooked fruits and food taste better. Figs can be black, green, purple or white, and all of them are delicious! Fresh figs break easily, so they are often dried, to make them easier to keep and carry around. Fresh figs are full of healthy vitamins (维生素), and dried figs have even more good things. So why not feast on figs? Your body will thank you a lot. 43. Why does Turkey grow more fig trees than any other country? A. It is a big country. B. It is a warm country. C. Figs are the main food there. D. Figs were first planted there. 44. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about figs? A. They are useful. B. They have sweet fruit. C They have a long history. D. They are popular in Europe. 45. What did people in Greece do long ago? A. They ate lots of sugar. B. They used figs as sugar. C. They cooked all kinds of fruits. D. They took figs to other countries. 46. Why are figs often dried? A. To make them look better. B. To make them taste better. C. To break them into pieces. D. To make them last longer. 47. What does the underlined phrase “feast on” mean? A. Eat. B. Grow. C. Pick D. Dry. D Toys have a very long history. Children began to play with them long ago. Most of the changes in toy-making have taken place when new materials (材料) have come out, or when new ideas have made them cheaper. People digging in some very old cities have found toys more than 2,000 years old. These toys were usually made of wood. Not much is known about the toys of the Middle Ages (about 800 years ago). There are drawings of children playing war games on wooden horses. About 400 years ago the German town of Nuremberg became a center for toy-making. Toy makers worked near the lead mines (铅矿), and many of them started making animals and other toys from lead. Wooden toys were also made in the hills nearby. Toys made of metal (金属) became cheaper about 150 years ago. Toy horses and trains were popular. Many beautiful toy houses were also made in those days. In 1893 in England, William Britain invented a new way of making toys with a cheaper method. Thousands of these toys were sent to different countries all over the world. As time went by, soft toy animals have been made in most countries. In 1903, a cartoon appeared in an American newspaper which showed President “Teddy” Roosevelt with a baby bear he had saved on one of his hunting trips. This cartoon led an American toy maker to make a lot of toy bears which were named” Teddy” bears after the President. 48 What can we learn about toys of the Middle Ages? A. They were very cheap. B. Some were made of wood. C. They were made in Germany. D. Many of them were made of lead. 49. what does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. the Germans B. the lead mines C. the toy makers D. the wooden toys 50. What made the American toy maker get the idea of teddy bears? A. A hunting trip B. A newspaper C. A president D. A cartoon 51. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④⑤⑥ B. ①②/③④/⑤⑥ C. ①②③④⑤/⑥ D. ①/②③④⑤/⑥ 52. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To tell people the importance of the toys. B. To show the inventions of the toys. C. To explain the kinds of the toys. D. To introduce the history of the toys. B) (每小题2分，共10分) 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺，结构完整.
