    Have you ever simply wanted to give without expecting anything in return? It’s  21  to do. Most look for a reward in some way. I know I did, most of the time, but then a TV program of “Oprah” inspired me. She gave everyone in the audience $1,000 to spend on a complete__22__,accompanied by a video camera to ___23 __ what they did with the money.
    Two sisters from Georgia  24 from the crowd in my mind---they put their money together to give to “My sister’s House”, a  25 that helps battered(受虐的) women and children. Not only did they  26   their money, but they told everyone in their town about the organization. It was amazing that people were crazy to ring and  27  money, baby clothing, and more.
    This story made me realize how often I expect things from others and how  28 I give things in return. I don’t have a thousand dollars to spend on a stranger, but I do have a heart that is full of love and generosity. I now hold doors open for others and  29  at people I don’t know, because a smile is contagious(有感染力的) and I try to bring as much happiness as I can into others’ lives. It’s difficult, but I feel it is really ___30 __.
    21. A. hard          B. easy            C. simple            D. hardly
    22. A. countrymen    B. stranger        C. acquaintance      D. friend

    27. A. give          B. bring           C. donate            D. take
    28. A. often         B. really          C. simply            D. rarely
    29. A. sing          B. cry             C. smile             D. laugh
    30. A. rewarding     B. awarding        C. expecting         D. giving
    21.A   22. B  23. B  24. B 25. D  26. C  27. C  28. D  29. C  30. A 
    21. 由接下去的两句话“大多数人都要寻求回报”“我也是这样的”可知，此处意为只有付出，不求回报是“很难”做到的。
    22. 由最后一段中的to spend on a stranger也可得到启示。
    23. 跟着一部摄影机，自然是用来“纪录”他们是如何用这笔钱的。
    24. 指在这人群中有两姐妹显得特别“耀眼或突出(stand out)”。其它选项：stand up站起来，stand by袖手旁观，stand for象征。
    25. 是“My sister’s House”的同位语，指帮助受虐妇女儿童的“庇护所(shelter)”。
    26. 指前文put their money together，应为combine their money。
    27. 通过她们宣传后，人们打电话来“捐赠(donate)”钱物等。
    28. 与前文often对应，指我经常期待从别人处获取但却很少付出。
    29. 由后文because a smile is contagious可知，此处指我对不认识的人“微笑”。
    30. 指这就是一种回报，用rewarding。awarding的意思是“授予，给予”。

    Surfing—the art of riding a wave on a pointed board—is the wildest, fastest natural water sport known to man. In recent years, it has developed into a major sport around the world, from Australia to South Africa. Australians brave(挑战) men—eating sharks to ride the green waves Down Under, Hawaiian experts risk(冒…之险) their lives on huge, thirty foot swells(浪涛) against the wind of Oahu; Californians of all ages go out the year-round. In the winter, surf-riders put on life-suits to ride grave waves so cold that their flesh turns blue.
    Surfing is no sport for weak persons. Swimming a quarter of a mile or more, and pushing a surfboard out to where the swells are just right for riding, can be real work. Then, at exactly the right moment, you climb up the wave and go fast across the face of a powerful swell with the white water jumping at your feet. The huge wave bites at your shoulder, threatening(威胁) at any moment to smash your flat. In the next several seconds, a cool head and lightning—quick action back to the pressure of the attacking wave will bring your board under control for that great ride down the back of the great, green mountain of water. Once on the beach, you know why surfing is growing in popularity as an international sport, and you’re glad to be a member of this new water world.
    小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us ______.
    A．people around the world go surfing all the year round
    B．the definition(定义) of the sport
    C．how to surf in the sea
    D．where to surf around the world
    小题2:The author believes that surfing _______.
    A．is not an easy sportB．can be done by anyone
    C．should be done by everyoneD．does not require courage
    小题3:In order to experience what real surfing is, _______.
    A．you must first swim a quarter of a mile to warm your body
    B．you will first ride on a board to reach the swells
    C．you must first put on your life-suits before doing surfing
    D．you must first swim to the swells with your board

    Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east.
    A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. “Four more lights,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.
    She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.
    “I just can’t leave you here,” she said. “This isn’t the nicest place. I’ll give you a ride home.”
    “You’ll drive me home in the bus?” I asked, perplexed(困惑).
    “No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said.
    “It’s a long way,” I protested.
    “Come on, ” she said. “I have nothing else to do.”
    As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along, ” she said.

    3. Why did the writer change his mind after waiting for 30 minutes at the end of the route?
    A. No bus would come at the time.          B. A taxi ride would be more comfortable.
    C. He became impatient and a bit worried.   D. He knew the driver would never return.
    4. The bus driver drove the writer home later because ________.
    A. she happened to go in the same direction  B. she wanted to do something good for other people
    C. her brother told her to do so             D. she wanted to earn more money

    There are many thoughts on the origins of civilization. One of the major factors involved was the increase in population. The development of techniques, primarily irrigation and flood control, which permitted agriculture in special areas such as the flood plain of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, made possible the support of large population. Once populations reach a certain number, the older pattern of social organization breaks down and new ones develop. Specifically the older system, whereby each individual participated in food production and maintained a similar standard of living and whereby kinship(家属关系) served as the basic method of social organization, was replaced by the occupational division of labor, political and religious hierarchies(等级制度), public works such as road and public building construction, class systems, codes of law, markets, new forms of warfare, and urban centres. Allied with these important sociological traits are material traits, such as monumental architecture and the development of science and, in many cases, metallurgy(冶金学) and writing sustems.
    The earliest civilization, Sumer, developed in the Middle East. This was the Bronze Age of the Old World, during which people first developed the art of metallurgy, civilization also arose in other parts of the Old World, first in Eygpt, China, and India, and later in Europe and Africa. At this time, civilization also developed independently in the New World, in the Mexican area and in Peru and its adjacent(邻近的) areas.
    In the Old World the Bronze Age was followed by the Iron Age, which saw the rise and fall of great empires and the shift of power from the Middle East to Greece and Rome and then to Western Europe. In the 1700s the Industrial Age began, leading directly to the modern civilization of today.
    46. The author of this passage __________________________________.
    A. gives a comparison between ancient civilization and modern civilization
    B. suggests that population increase is most important in the development of civilization
    C. tries to explain how civilization developed in human history
    D. explore the relation between agriculture and industry
    47. According to the first paragraph, the increase in population _____________________.
    A. resulted in the development of agricultural technology
    B. resulted from the breakdown of old social organization
    C. caused the occupational division of labor
    D. was impossible without the development of agriculture
    48. The word “traits” in Paragraph One most likely means ___________________________.
    A. main appearances                    B. great achievements
    C. distinguishing features                D. outstanding successes
    49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. The Bronze Age is one of the earliest civilizations.
    B. The Industrial Age started in the Middle East.
    C. The Bronze Age developed into the Iron Age.
    D. The use of metal instruments started from the Bronze Age.
    50. Which of the following is NOT included in the expression “the Old World” used in the passage?
    A. American continent.                  B. Both Western and Eastern Europe.
    C. African continent.                    D. Asian countries.
