三、阅读理解

(A)

    My dear boys and girls, good morning. Today I'm going to talk to you, about my understanding of leaning history.

    Many of you may think it is a terrible thing to study history. You may often wonder why we students should study something that has nothing to do with our own lives. If you think that way, I should say you are far from the truth.

    In fact, if we study history, we can learn quite a lot about personal stories and events (事件) of people just like us. The people who came before us helped build and develop the country we are living in. Their ideas often solved many of our problems and troubles. Studying the past helps us to understand what our ancestors' lives were like. And it also helps us to see how their experiences have shaped our own life.

    To be honest,         . Some of what we study in history helps us understand the mistakes of the past. And these mistakes will help people not to do the same wrong things. People often learn from the past to have a better Future.

    Whether we Like the subject of History or not, we must understand the importance of the events and the people who came before us. Our ancestors' decisions have influenced our own life. Similarly, the decisions of our own generation (一代人) will finally influence those who come after us. In this only way, the world is truly connected.

    History is not just a study of the past. History is the study of people, places, and events that can influence the future.

    Now do you still think studying history is a sad thing? Or do you have any doubt about learning history? If you have any question, just feel free to ask.

(    )21. What kind of writing is the passage above?

        A. A diary.       B. A story,        C. speech.          D. letter.

(    )22. Which of the following can be put in the "       " in Paragraph 4?

        A. the mistakes of the past won't help us

        B. I don't like the idea of learning history

        C. it is not easy to learn the subject of History

        D. not everything that happened in the past is good

(    )23. The writer wrote the passage to          .

        A. introduce some important people in history

        B. develop students and interest in learning history

        C. explain different people's understanding of history

        D. show the relationship between the past and the future

(B)

    Why is it that the people you meet when backpacking (背包旅行) seem to be more interesting and outgoing than your friends at home? That's my experience, anyway. Very often, you'll meet people that are fun to travel with and worth getting to know. I've spent time with people of many countries and have found out some interesting things about their cultures. It's a great way to learn more about the world.

    It's often easy to make new friends while you're travelling, and you'll be able to hang around with them for a few days, until one of you leaves for the next exciting place. Relationships of this kind are shorter but can be just as strong as friendships back home, because you do so much together in that short time. I often find I like to share things about myself that I'd never say to my close friends. It is safe, I think, because we probably won't meet again, except online.

    One thing that's important when you're backpacking is to make sure you carry only basic seeds, so your backpack isn't too heavy. I travel "light" these days. One good tip someone gave me is to take old clothes and just throw them away when you move on, instead of washing and waiting for things to dry. Many hostels (小旅社) don't provide shampoo and hower gel. You can get mini bottles in supermarkets.

    I've discovered that many backpackers visit little places other tourists don't go to, and by using local shops and guest houses, they help those places with much-needed financial (经济上的) support. Most small guest houses allow you to stay for unlimited time, so you can spend as long as you like exploring the local area. Backpackers are also kinder to the environment, because they use trains and buses rather than cars. So, what are you waiting for?

                                                          (By Andy Robinson)

(    )24. According to Andy, friendships made with other backpackers           .

        A. are less serious than those with his friends at home

        B. end at the moment they separate from each other

        C. help him decide where he would like to travel to

        D. allow him to talk about himself in an honest way

(    )25. Which text message would Andy send to a friend?

        A. "Why don't you fly out to visit me? We'll stay in a famous hotel on the coast."

        B. "I'm leaving here tomorrow and then I will drive a car along the coast."

        C. "I've met some great people. Tomorrow we're going by boat to an ancient village in the mountains together."

        D. "I'm glad I filled up my backpack-I've got everything I need, though it isn't easy to carry it around!"

(    )26. The best title for the passage can be            .

        A. Friendships on the Way           C. Travelling with a Backpack

        C. A backpacking Experience         D. Tips on Travel
