they couldnt always tell him what he wanted to know when they couldnt tell him，ben tried to find out for himself many times ben did find out things that no one knew before. the other boys would say，“that ben franklin！hes always finding out something new！” ben lived close to the waterhe liked to go there to see the boats. he saw how the wind blew them across the water one day ben said to himself，“why cant the wind help me float（漂浮）across the water？and im going to try.” ben got his big kitehe took hold of the kite string（线）and ran with itthe wind took the kite up into the air. then ben jumped into the water the wind blew the kite high into the airben began to float across the water. soon he was on the other side，and he had not worked at all one boy shouted，“look at ben floating across the water！his kite takes him to the other side without any work！” “yes,” said another“hes always finding new ways to do things.” ( )25when he was only a child，ben _ aliked to fly a kite by himself balways asked easy questions calways liked to play with water dalways liked to find out how things worked ( )26his father and brothers _ acouldnt answer all his questions bcould answer all his questions ctried hard to find out something new for him dlet him answer all the questions himself( )27in the passage，the sentence “and he had not worked at all” means“_” ahe worked hard to cross the water bhe didnt go to work that day che didnt cross the water at all dhe crossed the water in an easy way bwhen people become good at doing things they like to do, they have found themselves.many young people are doing things they do not like; many other young people are doing something that they are not good at. also many do not think they are good at anything and do not know what they would like to do. none of them are happy.it is impossible to decide whether one likes something until he has tried it. trying something new is important.give each idea a fair chance. if you have decided to try out something new and also have decided how long you will stick to it, you can make a fair decision.the most important thing is not the final goal but the work which makes you reach the goal. almost everybody would like to be highly skilled at something but it calls for a great deal of time and work.finding oneself means not only discovering what one is good at and what one likes; it also means discovering what one is not good at and what one does not like.so trying something but failing also has its good side. it tells you that you are not fit for that particular aim and should not regard it as your goal.（ ）28. according to the passage, many young people are unhappy because _. a. they are doing things they dont like b. they are doing something they are not good at c. they think theyre good at nothing and do not know what they would like to do d. of all the above（ ）29. it takes _ to become good at something. a. time and money b. a lot of work and rest c. a lot of time and work d. men and time（ ）30.to find himself one has to know _. a. both his strong points and weak points b. his strong points c. his weak points d. what he likes and what he is good at c“mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)?” jessica asked. “a skeleton in the closet?” her mother thought for a while. “well, its something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. for example, if in the past, someone in dads family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his familys closet. he really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it.”“why pick on my family?” jessicas father said with anger. “your family history isnt so good, you know. wasnt your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was brought to australia for his crimes?” “yes, but people these days say that you are not a real australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “gosh, sorry i asked. i think i understand now,” jessica cut in before things grew worse.after dinner, the house was very quiet. jessicas parents were still quite angry with each other. her mother was ironing clothes and from time to time she looked angrily at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. when she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to jessicas closet. just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. jessicas mother sank in a faint(晕倒), waking only when jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. she looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“what happened? where am i?” she asked. “you just destroyed the schools skeleton, mum,” explained jessica. “i brought it home to help me with my health project. i wanted to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as i said something about skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and dad.” jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “theyre both crazy,” she thought.（ ）31. according to jessicas mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means _. a. a family honor b. a family secret c. a family story d. a family treasure （ ）32. why did jessica bring a skeleton home? a. she was curious about it.b. she planned to keep it for fun. c. she needed it for her school task. d. she wanted to scare her parents.（ ）33. jessicas parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because _. a. they realized their misunderstandingb. they were crazy c. they were over excited d. they both thought they had won the quarreldthink about the different ways that people use the wind. you can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources(能源), as well as one of the oldest. evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient iran back in the seventh century bc(公元前). they were first introduced to europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the middle east with knowledge of using wind power.for many centuries, people used windmills to grind wheat(磨麦) into flour or pump water from deep underground. when electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in areas away from cities began to use them to produce electricity. this allowed them to have electric lights and radio. however, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the united states, windmills were rarely used. during the 1970s, people started becoming worried about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. people also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. today, there is a worldwide movement to supply(提供) more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.（）34. from the passage we know that windmills _.a. were invented by european armiesb. have a history of more than 2,800 yearsc. used to supply power to radio in areas away from citiesd. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered（）35. what was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?a. sailing a boat. b. producing electricity.c. grinding wheat into flour. d. pumping water from underground.（）36. one of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that _.a. wind power is cleanerb. it is one of the oldest power sourcesc. it was cheaper to create energy from windd. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs（）37. what would the writer probably discuss next after the third paragraph?a. the advantages of wind power.b. the design of wind power plants.c. the worldwide movement to save energy.d. the worldwide trend towards producing power from wind. 第ii卷（主观题
