A
About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green －a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
21. The passage is mainly about _____________.
A. women being luckier than men B. color blindness
C. danger caused by color blindness D. color and its surprising effects.
22. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?
A .All of them have the same problem in recognizing color.
B. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.
C. All of them can’t see everything in shades of green.
D. None of them can see deep red.

23. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _____________.
A. blue light B. . red light C. green light D. yellow light
B
When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up (咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.
24. Brownie would _________ when someone was ill in the family.
A smile at them gently B. play games with them
C. take care of them D. be with them
25. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Brownie __________.
A. loved playing with shoes
B. would eat anything when hungry
C. didn’t realize her mistake
D. realized that she had done something wrong
26. Why does the author say that Brownie was more than just a pet of THEIR family?
A. She was raised and grew up in the family. B. She was loved by everybody she met
C. She smiled at anyone she disliked. D. She was treated as a member of the family.
27. Which of the following best describes Brownie?
A. Handsome. B Cruel. C. Thoughtful D. Concerned
C
Finland lies in the north of Europe, and has Russia to the east. It is two different places in winter and summer. Summers there are fairly dry and hot, although by August things can already begin to get cold and unpleasant. Of course, winters are cold, but the cold is dry. In most parts snow comes in October and clears by the end of March, but in the northern parts snow can fall as early as September and stay until late May.
The tourist season in southern Finland is from early June to late August. This is when all the tourist attractions and summer programs are open, with steamboats and ferries (渡船) traveling on the lakes and rivers, and festivals become very lively. Finnish holidays are from the summer high season in late June to the end of July. This is the time period of nights with sunlight, when Finland doesn’t seem to sleep.
The tourist season in northern Finland is different. Mosquitoes can be annoying in July, but September is lovely with its autumn colors. October, February and March are good times to visit the north of Finland to view the aurora borealis (北极光), and enjoy winter activities such as skiing and dog sledding. The Christmas holiday period is also one of the best times in Finland —after all, this is the "official" home of Santa Claus. Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is popular all year round.
28. What do we learn about Finland from the first paragraph?
A. It is to the west of Russia.
B. The weather in summer is wet and hot.
C. It is the coldest country in Europe.  
D. The weather in September can be pleasant.
29. What’s the shortest time without snow in Finland?
A. 6 months B. 8 months.      C.3 months. D. 9 months.
30. In the tourist season in southern Finland , ________.
A. people have lights on because of the tourist season

31. What do we learn about the tourist season in northern Finland?

About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old. He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and---WHUMP! ---It hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH…immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kids, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?” Building up a head of steam, he went on. “That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it？”“Please, mister, please…I’m sorry！I don’t know what else to do!” begged the youngster. “I threw the brick because no one else could stop” Tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the packed car. “It’s my brother, mister,” he said. “He rolled of the curb(路沿)and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman. “Would you help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me. ”
Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scraps and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK！He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long walk back to the black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE—a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent(凹痕)to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

选项中有两项为多余选项。
Parents usually go to malls to find new school supplies for their children. One of the most
important things to get during this time is the backpack. 36 This makes the bag less
likely to hinder（妨碍）other activities that the person carrying it may be doing at the same
time. Here are the ways parents can choose the perfect backpack for school.
How many books will children be carrying to school? How many notebooks should be
inside the bag? 37 Each situation requires a different bag so it pays to ask children about the expected load.
38 If they will be carrying a laptop computer inside the new backpack, make sure
that parents get a model that's designed specifically for laptop use. This will protect the
computer from bumps and falls that might damage the device if it had less protection.
Are children going to use the bag for a long time? 39 Parents may have to pay extra cash to get the top of the line and the best backpack in the market.
Count the pockets. Backpacks usually come with a lot of pockets, and generally, the
more pockets, the better. 40
Picking the perfect school backpack is all about getting the sweet compromise（折中）
between form, function and price. Remember to choose the best fit for children's needs.
A. However, more pockets also mean more trouble, children will have difficulty finding
their things inside the pockets.
B. Do children need special storage for the bag?
C. Children are special and their needs are different from their parents.
D. Most students choose to bring a backpack because it allows them to have both hands free.
E. Parents should know these details before buying a bag for their children.
F. This allows children to organize their things, like pens and pencils inside small pockets
G. If they want to use a bag for a long time, parents will be better off investing in a good
brand that is known for quality.
