(A)
Every summer many people, girls and women as well as(还有) boys and men, try to swim from England to France or from France to England. The distance(距离) at the nearest points(点) is only about 20 miles but because of the strong tides(浪) the distance that must be swum is usually more than twice as far.
The first man who succeeded(成功) in swimming the English Channel(海峡) was Captain Wed, an Englishman. This was in August 1857. He landed in France 21 hours later after he jumped into the water at Dover. Since then there have been many successful swimmers and time has been shortened(缩短). In 1960 a Canadian crossed in 10 hours and 23 minutes. Because the sea is usually cold, swimmers cover their bodies with grease(油脂). This helps them to keep out the cold. They can also eat something, because some men go with them in small boats.
( )1. People have to swim ________ to cross the England Channel.
A. more than twenty miles B. twenty miles
C. more than forty miles D. about twenty miles
( )2. Dover may be a name of _______.

Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.
Adult(成年的) drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programmes are music.
Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tape. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.
There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk(民间) music. It tells stories about the common(普通) life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.

We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at the traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf.
It stood outside a furniture(家具) shop. “Buy it,” she said at once, “We’ll carry it home on the roof-race(车顶架). I’ve always wanted one like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof-rack. It was tall and narrow(狭窄), quite heavy too.
As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us go through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake(超车)?”
Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously when they went past. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church(教堂). One of the officers came to me.
“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need anymore help now?”
I didn’t quite understand. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You’ve been very kind. I live just down the road.”
He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. “Well, well,” he said and laughed. “It’s a bookshelf you’ve got there! We thought it was…er, something else.”
My wife began to laugh. Suddenly I understood why the police drove here. I smiled at the officer, “yes, it’s a bookshelf, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.
( )8. From the story we know that ________.
A. the writer was poor and didn’t buy the bookshelf for his wife
B. the writer’s wife didn’t like the bookshelf
C. the writer was always glad to buy the bookshelf for his wife
D. the writer was not very glad to buy the bookshelf for his wife
( )9. What made the writer think that carrying furniture was “a good idea”?
A. He could drive slowly and it was safe.
B. Other drivers would let him go first.
C. His wife could use a new bookshelf.
D. He could save a lot of money and time.
( )10. Why were the police and other drivers so kind to the writer?
A. Because they thought the writer liked studying very much and needed a bookshelf.
B. Because they didn’t think it was polite to overtake a car with a bookshelf on it.
C. Because they thought somebody in the writer’s family had died and he needed help.
D. Because they thought it was dangerous to carry a bookshelf on a car.
( )11. Why did the writer’s wife begin to laugh?
A. Because now she knew what mistake the police had made.
B. Because at last her husband understood why the police had driven to the church.
C. Because the officer was always looking at the flowers and the bookshelf.
D. Because the police had helped them a lot.
(D)
We’ve talked about snails(蜗牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They’re in their shells(壳)——sleeping.
Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into its shell and closes the opening with a thin cover. Then it goes to sleep. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So whenever it rains, it goes inside its shell house—and goes to sleep. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It can take a short sleep. Or it can sleep for days at a time. And it spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.
In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches(时) long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. it can’t see very well. its eyes, at the ends of the top feelers(触角), are very weak. But its sense(感觉) of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to the new greens. Then the snail’s little mouth goes to work.
A snail’s mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin(大头针). Yet it has 25,6000 teeth! The teeth are so small that you can’t see them. But they do their work. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.
Mostly, a snail looks for food at night. But on cloudy days it eats in the daytime. It eats all day long. A snail can go on eating for hours and never feel full.
( )12. A snail _______.
A. moves more slowly in day-time B. has thousands of feet
C. doesn’t move at all D. sleeps much of the time
( )13. In the sentence “A snail draws its body into its shell”, the word “draw” means _______.
A. to make with a pen B. to keep away from
C. to pull D. to move to the end
( )14. From the story we know ________.
A. the snail’s shell is very thin B. a snail can’t see well
C. the snail’s body changes in different seasons
D. the snail’s nose is quite short
( )15. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. A snail doesn’t like living under the sun.
B. In winter the snail doesn’t eat or move.
C. The snail’s teeth can’t be worn out.
D. The snail’s strong sense of smell helps to find food “far away”.
