After the wedding and reception, rather accidentally four of us gathered in a hotel room and began to explore the deeper meaning of life and death. What does it mean to live truly? If we are all getting closer to death, is all the material accumulation worth it? It is not exactly the type of conversations one has at a wedding.While the answers varied from person to person, I was left with more questions than answers and a feeling of gratefulness to be surrounded by friends who were asking the “right” questions. As the clock kept ticking past 3 a.m., one of the roommates suggested we watch a short film titled “Last Days of Zach Sobiech”. The film is about a teenagers journey through the last days of his incurable illness. The film brought up a lot of mixed emotions but one quote that stood out for me was Zachs simple explanation of happiness, “ What makes one happy is seeing someone else smile because you put it there.” By 4 a.m. , there was this energy in the room that had to be shared! With a few packages of post-it notes, we hit the halls of the hotel. We decided to leave short inspirational words on guests doors, so when they opened their doors few hours later a smile would turn up.We ended up sticking post-it notes on all the doors until we ran out of them. The note on the door of the newly-weds properly said, “Where there is love, there is life.”21. About “explore the deeper meaning of life and death” at a wedding, the author thinks_.A. it is rather meaningful. B. it is interesting.C. it is natural. D. it is not proper. 22. After watching the film, what impressed the author most?A. Zachs mixed emotions B. Zachs poor fateC. Zachs simple explanation of happiness D. Zachs struggle with illness23. What did the author and his friends do after they saw the film?A. They knocked door to door to offer help in the hotel.B. They shared happiness with the workers of the hotel.C. They stuck notes with encouraging words on guests doors.D. They thanked the wedding couple gratefully for invitation.24. What can we learn from the author and his friends action?A. One who brings happiness to others is also happy oneself.B. Helping others in trouble is good to oneself.C. Friends are your valuable treasure.D. Good is rewarded with good.BAlmost one in five drivers had dozed off behind the wheel, a shocking news report had showed. Of those who were dozing off, 29% have done so with their cars speeding at 70 miles per hour. The report also found a quarter of men have fallen asleep while driving, making it almost twice as many as women.The Safety on Wheel Report, by Post Office Insurance, also looked at how often tiredness or a lack of concentration caused accidents. Three in ten drivers have experienced an accident, from passing a walker crossing to hitting another vehicle, because of a lack of concentration. Meanwhile, almost half (49%) of UK drivers have driven when they do not concentrate.Paul Havenhand, head of insurance at Post Office, said, “ When tiredness strikes, drivers should avoid the roads.” There is no measurement for tired driving, unlike driving under the influence of alcohol, yet it could result in an equally dangerous accident.Drivers are advised to take a 15-minute break from driving every two hours. However, a third (36%) are so eager to reach their destination that they will ignore feelings of tiredness. Whats more, almost one in five (18%) will drive for longer than four hours without a break, while 6% carry on for up to 6 hours. Just over a quarter (27%) choose a quick stop to buy a cup of coffee, which is a very popular way for drivers to get rid of tiredness, and only 17% stop to have a rest until they feel energetic again. Mr. Havenhand added, “Drivers should plan ahead and rest before starting a long journey; besides, they can take regular breaks to recharge their batteries while on road; in some cases, if they do feel too tired to concentrate on the roads, they could consider an alternative means of transport.”25. Which suggestion is NOT put forward by Mr. Havenhand?A. Preparing well for a long journey and taking a complete rest before it.B. Having breaks regularly in order to feel refreshed.C Choosing another method of transport instead.D. Choosing a quick stop to grab something to eat.26. What does the underlined phrase “recharging their batteries” in the last paragraph mean?A. Put a new supply of electricity into their batteries.B. Get back their energy by resting for a whileC. Accuse them of stealing batteries D. Pay twice more money for their batteries 27. It is implied in the last paragraph that for drivers the most popular cure for tiredness is _.A. drinking coffee B. talking with others C. ignoring feelings of tiredness D. singing songs28. Whats the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?A. To warn people of the danger of tired drivingB. To tell people to be careful when walking on the streetC. To inform people of the importance of a good restD. To introduce some dangers while driving on the roadsCTulou, the special residential architecture of Fujian Province was included on the UNESCOs World Heritage List during the 32nd session of the World Heritage Committee in Quebec, Canada.In the fourth century, Han Chinese living in the Central Plains area began to migrate south, gradually gathering in Fujian and forming the Hakka communities. As a defence against enemies, the Hakkas chose to live in compact(紧凑的) communities, and the tulou was their preferred houses. Tens of thousands of such earthen structures were constructed in Fujian Province.Most tulous are to be found in the valleys, surrounded by high mountains, and some are in the depths of the great mountains. Most are three to four stories high, and look like circular blockhouses（堡垒）. Rooms on the first floor are used as kitchens, rooms on the second floor are used as barns(谷仓), and rooms on the third and fourth floors are for bedrooms and living rooms. For defensive purposes, the rooms on the first floor have no windows.Raw materials for the tulou were obtained locally. Their main building material was a mixture of clay, sand, lime and water, and egg whites, brown sugar and rice water were added as adhesive agents（粘合剂）. It was then mixed to form the walls. Once they dried, the walls were so hard that driving a nail into them would have been difficult. Fir branches, which are extremely strong and do not rot, were used to strengthen them, and many centuries later they have remained their original look.Tulous are located in a region where earthquakes happen frequently, and their circular construction helps them resist the regular shocks. The proven design even inspired one famous Peruvian architect, who paid several visits to Yongding, to build a tulou back home. Not long after, an earthquake struck only 10 kilometers away, and while all the houses around the earthen building fell down, his tulou remained.29. From the passage , we know that Tulou _.A. is a special residential architecture of Han Chinese in Fujian even todayB. was once the place where the Hakkas chose to live togetherC. stands in the valleys and is also modern peoples preferred housesD. looks like circular blockhouses but easy to fall down in the earthquake30.
