The fastest way of travelling is by plane. With a modern plane, you can travel in one day to places, while it took a month or more to get to one hundred years ago. Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages. You can see the country you are travelling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. Many people like to travel by car. You can ________. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop if there is something interesting to see. For example, at a good restaurant, where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That is why travelling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or plane when travelling on business. Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. You can visit many other countries and different places. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but travelling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday. 21. Which of the following can be put in ________. A．make your own timetable B．make the longest journey enjoyable C．travel to a very far place in several minutes D．travel with your parents or your friends. 22. When people travel on business, they usually take ________. A．a bike or a car B．a plane or a bus C．a boat or a ship D．a train or a plane 23. From the passage we can know that ________. A．people like the same way of travelling B．more and more new ways of travelling will be invented C．each way of travelling that is mentioned has its own advantage D．all the ways of travelling today are much faster than those a hundred years ago B The Venus flytrap (捕蝇草) is an amazing meat-eating plant growing in a small area of North Carolina and South Carolina in the United States. While most plants get their “food” from the soil, this clever hunter uses special leaves to catch insects. Each leaf acts like a tiny green mouth with special hairs. When an insect touches one of the hairs, the leaf is triggered (触发), but it doesn’t close right away. However, if the insect touches a second hair within 20 seconds, the leaf closes quickly and catches the insect inside. This “double-touch rule” stops the plant from wasting energy on things like drops of rain. Even then, the plant waits for the fifth touch from the insect before digesting (消化) it. The Venus flytrap does not need to eat insects very often. In fact, it can live for weeks without food as long as it gets enough sunlight. On average, it catches two to three insects every month. These meals help the plant to grow, much like a bear living off a few large fish. ▲ A survey by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program in 2019 found 163,951 Venus flytraps in North Carolina and 4,876 in South Carolina. This marked a 93% drop compared with 4.5 million in 1979. By 2016, the plant could only be found in the wild in 71 places. However, only 20 of these could help the plant to grow. The Venus flytrap shows us how creative nature can be. It’s not just a plant—it’s a smart hunter too! 24. What does Paragraph 2 mainly want to show? A．How the hunting system works. B．Why the Venus flytrap eats insects. C．What the Venus flytrap looks like. D．What the Venus flytrap needs to grow well. 25. Which of the following can be put into “▲” in Paragraph 4? A．Where can people find the plant? B．Sadly, this amazing plant is in danger. C．Scientists are interested in this amazing plant. D．How many Venus flytraps are there in the world? 26. Which of the following questions can be answered by the text? A．How can people protect the Venus flytrap? B．Where did people first see the Venus flytrap? C．Is it possible to grow a Venus flytrap at home? D．What else can help the Venus flytrap grow besides insects? 27. What’s the best title of the text? A．The good points of a plant. B．Ways to protect the Venus flytrap. C．Some facts about a fantastic plant. D．Reasons why the Venus flytrap is amazing. C Can you believe that mice can save people’s lives? Now scientists are training mice to help save trapped (受困的) people after earthquakes. This is a part of a special scientific project called “Hero Rats”. Dr. Donna Kean, a scientist from Scotland, is working on this project. She trains mice to wear very small bags with cameras and microphones (麦克风) inside. With the help of the mice, it will be easier for rescue (救援) teams to know what is going on under the bricks. Also, the teams can talk with trapped people to make them less nervous and afraid. Mice are agile. They are good at moving through small spaces. They can live on anything and live in highly dangerous places. As a result, they are perfect for the searching work in earthquake areas. Last year, scientists trained mice to collect information and send it back. To their surprise, it only took seven mice two weeks to learn those skills. So scientists decided to train another 163 mice for other disasters (灾难). But why not dogs? Both of them have a good sense of smell, but the sense of mice is better than that of dogs. Moreover, people can catch, feed and take care of mice much more easily. They learn things very fast, and they don’t get bored as easily as dogs. They work better and harder. Kean was glad that the mice could learn the skills so quickly. “They are amazing! I hope they will be able to save lives in the future.” 28. What can we learn about Donna Kean from Paragraph 2? A．She is an American scientist. B．She is working on the project “Hero Rats”. C．She talks with the trapped people to make them less nervous. D．She trains mice to send food to the trapped people in earthquake areas. 29. The underlined word “agile” means “________” in Chinese. A．灵活的 B．愚钝的 C．贪婪的 D．贪吃的 30. What are the advantages (优势) of mice over dogs in the searching work in disaster areas? ①Mice have a better sense of smell than dogs. ②Mice can run faster than dogs. ③Mice don’t get bored as easily as dogs. ④Mice are much easier to take care of than dogs. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②④ 31. What is the purpose (目的) of this passage? A．To advise readers to keep mice as pets. B．To introduce a scientific project to readers. C．To teach readers how to train mice. D．To tell readers a funny story about mice. D In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck. But when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability. Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He’s also a good listener. At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults. In others, he notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me. Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a hand, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me. There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same thing I like. We share experiences and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor too. He likes to laugh with me. This is how we share in the Joy of being friends, as I know that he is looking for the same quality in me. When I meet someone who is reliable, honest and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend. 32. What qualities of character does the writer care about when choosing a good friend? A．Rich, can help your and understanding. B．Make you happy, helpful and honesty. C．Have fun together, understanding and reliability. D．Understanding, honesty and worth of trust. 33.
