eyes from the book. mum pointed at a big chair by the door and i knew she wanted me to sit down. while i watched, mouth open in surprise, mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. she walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop (拖把). she pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, mum nodded and said, “very dirty floors.” “yes, im glad theyve finally decided to clean them,” the nurse answered. she looked at mum strangely and said, “but arent you working late?” mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. i watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book. after a long time mum came back. her eyes were shining. she quickly put the mop back and took my hand. as we turned to go out of the door, mum nodded politely to the nurse and said, “thank you.”outside, mum told me, “dagma is fine. no fever. ” “you see her, mum?”“of course. i told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. dad will stop worrying as well. its a fine hospital. but the floors! a mop is no good. you need a brush. ”21. when the nurse talked to mum, she thought mum was a _.a. nurse b. cleaner c. patient d.visitor22. what can we infer about the hospital?a. it was a childrens hospital. b. the nurses and doctors there dont work hard.c. it has strict rules about visiting hours.d. a lot of patients come to this hospital every day. 23. mum went to see dagma in the hospital to _.a. give her some messages about dad b. make sure her room was clean c. check that she was still there d. find out how she was 24. which of the following words can best describe mum? a. hard working . b. clever c. warmly hearted. d. strange. bwhats your opinion about finding good friends? speaking from my past experience, it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust but once you have found them, they are worth keeping forever! therefore, i think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have. the qualities i look for in a friend are a good sense of humor and sensitivity. a friend would have to be strong-minded and highly spirited. i think that these qualities are the key qualities to look for in a good friend. even the best friends can still have arguments between themselves, though usually about more serious topics, rather than the usual childish arguments. some matters can seriously affect friendship. if one of your friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs, what would you do? a good friend would try to help as much as possible, while a bad example of a friend would simply shrug and turn a blind eye. not only the bad things affect friendship -good activities do too, such as bonding with one another, not just by going out on a night with them, but by spending quality time with them and talking to each other. this is a key aspect of a good friendship. good friends do not always have to be in the same age group as you. i have a good friend and she is 47 years old and i am 16. unfortunately, some people lose contact with their friends as they grow older, which is a sad way to lose a good friend. i think friendship is one of the most important things in life because if you have no friends you will have no happiness.25. according to the author, true friendship _. a. is easy to get b. needs management c. deepens with time d. affects ones happiness26. paragraph 3 is mainly about _. a. why drugs are bad for teenagers b. whether a friend is reliable c. ways that help avoid arguments d. problems that will test friendship27. according to the author, which matters least in friendship? a. confidence b.age c. sense of humor. d. communication.28. which of the following sayings can match the authors view on friendship? a. old friends and old wines are best. b. a friend without faults will never be found. c. a friend to everybody is a friend to nobody. d. a life without a friend is a life without a sun.cthe following is something about extreme sports: dangerous as they are, extreme sports remain appealing among many australian young people! camp extreme sports is the perfect test of your heart. kite surfing its the exciting mixture of kite, board and waves. the idea of using a kite to accelerate speed seems like a new challenge, yet the art of kite flying dates back to the 13th-century chinese when it was used as a simple means of transport. catch a wind and youre moving up, down and across the surf. “its always exciting. youd jump 5 feet or 35 feet. you never know if youre going to go up in the air, and your heart is just going boom, boom, boom.”coasteeringit is by far the best activity and the event that everyone is still talking about. this is exploring the coastline without worrying about a coastal path or finding a rocky bay blocking your route. you climb, dive and swim from one place to another. with coasteering, you dont have to be able to swim as the wet suit and buoyancy(浮力) aid will keep you floating when you are in the water.sky diving traditional parachuting(跳伞) doesnt sound risky enough. so now sky diving is the name for jumping from a plane and listening to your heart beating heavily as you move fast towards earth before you open your parachute at the last moment. mountain bikingits been around so long that bikers are no longer satisfied with just going up and down a mountain. mountain biking is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough land, using specially adapted mountain bikes. mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes, but include features designed to improve strength and performance in rough areas.for details, please call us on 1300-792-668 or click here: .au.29. all the four extreme sports are intended to test ones _.a. potential strengthb. physical healthc. sports skillsd. courage30. the underlined word “it” refers to _. a. kite flyingb. kite surfingc. a kite d. the art of kites31. which of the following sports can be the most risky?a. kite surfing. b. coasteering. c. mountain biking. d. sky diving.32. we can infer from the passage that _.a. kites were the main means of transport in chinab. swimming skills play a key role in coasteeringc. mountain biking requires more than riding common bikesd. parachuting is the least popular sports at presentdchildrens allowance. many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance(零用钱). the purpose is to let them learn from experience at an age when financial （财政的；财务的；金融的)mistakes are not very costly. in any case, parents should make clear what the child is expected to pay for with the money. at first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. if so, theyll learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget（预算）. parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. it is to show them that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. these jobs are a normal part of family life. paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. it can even provide an understanding of how a business works. allowances give children a chance to experience what they can do with money. they can share it in the form of gifts or give it to a good cause. they can spend it by buying things they want. or they can save it. saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: they have to cut costs and plan for the future. requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. many banks offer services to help children learn about personal finance. 33. giving children an allowance can mostly help them _. a. cut their living costsb. learn to plan for the futurec. earn a living when youngd. get some financial knowledge34. by receiving an allowance, children can learn _.a. how to spend money from experienceb. when to avoid making mistakesc. what they should do next at a young aged. what they can do with money earned35. what is the best title for the passage?a. allowance, a great way to educate children b. allowance, a costly burden for children c. give allowances to children at onced. develop childrens allowances第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。tips of losing weight: weight loss is a hard topic. lots of people arent
