young couple ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. i watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. i admired the husbands patience for her continuous talk. distracted(心烦意乱的) by their noise, i moved on. i met with them several times as i moved through the different rooms of art. each time i heard her constant words, i moved away quickly.i was standing at the counter(收银台) of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. he extended it into a long stick and then carefully went into the coatroom to get his wifes jacket.“hes a brave man.” the clerk at the counter said, “most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. but he made a promise that his life wouldnt change. so, as before, he and his wife come in whenever theres a new art show.”“but what dose he get out of the art?” i asked, “he cant see.”“cant see? youre wrong. he sees a lot. more than you or i do.” the clerk said, “his wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”i learned something about patience, courage and love that day. i saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. and i saw the love shared 21. “i moved away quickly.” in paragraph 3 shows that the writer _.a. was in the hope of visiting more rooms b. was in a hurry to buy some giftsc. was tired of the nonstop talkingd. was not interested in the art show22. after hearing what the clerk had said about the couple, the writer was _.a. encouragedb. excited c. touchedd. annoyed23. the passage is mainly about _.a. the importance of art b. good manners in publicc. patience of a husbandd. love between a coupleblife is good for penguins in antarctica(南极洲)at the end of the moviehappy feet. real-life penguins, though,have little to celebrate.twelve of the worlds 19 penguin species(种类)face serious dangers, according to wildlife experts.they are in danger of disappearing from the earth, including emperor penguins.“many of the worlds penguin species are in big trouble, ”penguin expert kassel siegel toldwr news.her wildlife group is asking the us government to protect the 12 species of penguins in danger. several countries are making efforts to make sure the rapidly increasing tourists in antarctica do not cause environmental problems.overfishing is one reason for the problem. penguins eat small fish and tiny animals called krill. fishing boats are catching lots of krill. that leaves less food for penguins to eat.another reason for the decline(减少)in the number of penguins is global warming. global warming is the slow increase in average temperature around the world. it is causing sea ice to melt. penguins need the sea ice as a place to rest while theysearch for krill.scientists say global warming is caused when we drive cars or use electricity. that burns coal, oil, and natural gas. the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas gives off gases that add to the overheating of the earth. “we can and must reduce gas emissions(排放)to keep penguins safe in the future, ”says siegel.24. what would probably happen if people reduced their use of coal, oil, and natural gas?a. penguins would have to move to other places to live.b.penguins would be less likely to disappear fromthe earth.c. there would be more krill for penguins to eat.d. it would save people a lot of money.25. which of the following are the reasons for the decline in the number of penguins?a. the development of tourism and overheating.b. overfishing and attacks from other animals.c. overfishing and overheating.d. the development of tourism and attacks from other animals.26. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. penguins mainly live on small fish and tiny animals which live in water.b. penguins need the sea ice as a place to feed their children.c. nineteen of the worlds penguin species face serious dangers.d. the us government has taken measures to protect the penguins in danger. cthe traditional tent cities at festivals such as glastonbury may never be the same again. in a victory ofgreen business that is certain toappeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home. major festivals such as glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. for his final year project at the university of the west of england, james dunlop came up witha material that can be recycled. and to cope with the british summer, the cardboard has been madewaterproof. taking inspiration from a japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, mr. dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called myhabs. the design won an award at the annual new designers exhibition after mr. dunlop graduated fromhis product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business. to raise money for the idea, he toured the citys private companies which fund new business andfound a supporter in the finance group mint. he introduced his idea to four of mints directors and won their support. mint has committed around 500,000 to myhabs and taken a share of 30 percent in mr. dunlops business. the first myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year. mr. dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the london olympics. for music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the myhabs team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. they can be personalizedand the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertisingspace. the biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with glastonbury having some 150,000each year. altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the uk. the events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.27.eco-friendly tents in paragraph 1 refer to tents _. a.economically desirable b.favorable to the environment c.for holding music performances d.designed for disaster relief28.mr. dunlop established his business _. a.independently with an interest-free loan from mint

changeable in summer b.most performances at british festivals are given in the open air c.the cardboard tents produced by mr. dunlop can be user-tailored d.cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users30.which of the following would be the best title for the text? a.dont use tents again b.the advantages of tents c.how to produce tents d.the development of recyclable
