He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the sky. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiouslybut without knowing how to escape the swarm. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospitaland that was only one bee sting! Suddenly, his fathers words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, dont panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees dont like smoke,” he thought. “They couldnt get into the house.” But Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson. Off his bike and into the cool water he dived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.21. Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?A. He was riding to school. B. He was listening to a strange sound.C.

Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology found 20 healthy men and asked them to walk as straight as possible to a target 60 meters away at normal speed. Each man had to walk on white paper fixed flat to the floor wearing wet colored socks. The footprints revealed that all walked in a winding rather than a straight line. Researchers found that people readjust (再调整) the direction of walking every few seconds. The amount of the winding differed from subject to subject. This suggests that none of us can walk in a strictly straight line. We walk in a winding way mainly because of a slight structural or functional imbalance of our limbs (四肢). Although we may start walking in a straight line, several steps afterwards we have changed direction. Eyesight helps us to correct the direction of walking and leads us to the target. Your ears also help you walk. After turning around a lot with your eyes closed, you can hardly stand still, let alone walk straight. Its all because your ears help you balance. Inside your inner ear there is a structure which contains liquids. On the sides of the organ are many tiny hair-like structures that move around as the liquid flows. When you spin (旋转) the liquid inside also spins. The difference is that when you stop, the liquid continues to spin for a while. Dizziness (眩晕) is the result of these nerves in your ear. When you open your eyes, although your eyesight tells you to walk in a straight line, your brain will trust your ears more, thus you walk in a curved line.28. The experiment held in Japan proved that _.A. the participants kept readjusting their direction of walkingB. all the participants (参与者) had a good sense of directionC. the experiment was done in different waysD. none of the participants finished the 60 meters29. What helps to readjust our walking direction?A. Limbs. B. Ears. C. Eyes. D. Footprints. 30. The underlined word “subject” in Para. 1 refers to _.A. a person with a functional imbalanceB. a person chosen to be studied in an experimentC. the subject one studies at schoolD. the direction of walking31. The purpose of writing the article is to _.A. prove that ears can help us to walk straightB. explain why we can hardly walk in a strictly straight lineC. point out the importance of noticing everyday scienceD. tell us if we try, we can walk in a straight line DIreland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer (征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750, 000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8. 2 million in 1841 to 6. 6 million in 1851.For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.32. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?A. How the Irish fought against the English.B. How Ireland gained independence.C. How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.D. How two “Irelands” came into being.33. We learn from the text that in Ireland_.A. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decrease in populationB. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countrysideC. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory workerD. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments34. The last paragraph is mainly about_.A. the Irish characterB. Irish cultureC. Irish musical instrumentsD. a famous Irish writer35. What can be the best title for the text?A. Life in IrelandB. A Very Difficult HistoryC. Ireland, Past and PresentD.
