The rabbit couple gently put the ant on the leaf of a nearby plant. She soon recovered and saw the rabbit couple sitting beside her. The ant remembered that she had found herself under the foot of a cat by chance and fainted (晕倒). She asked how she reached on the leaf top. The rabbit couple told her what had happened. The ant thanked them and said she would certainly help them when they needed her. The rabbit couple went farther up the river to enjoy the bright sun. They had been there many times and would spend many hours playing and relaxing in the sun. One fine day, the couple were again on their way to the river while the ant was playing on a leaf. She saw the rabbit couple walking towards the river. A few hours later she saw the rabbit couple sleeping peacefully on the soft grass by the river. Suddenly she saw a lion moving towards the grass where the rabbit couple were sleeping. The lion saw the rabbits sleeping, and started walking quietly to catch them. Realizing the hazard getting close to the rabbits, the ant jumped from the leaf upon the lion and bit the lions back. The lion cried out in pain, waking up the rabbit couple and warning them against the danger. The rabbits ran away quickly and the ant jumped off the lions back and hid in the grass. A white pigeon who watched what had happened cheered at the courage of the ant and told the whole story to the rabbits. The rabbits were moved and thanked the ant. They became best friends.21.From the first three paragraphs, we can learn that _.A. the rabbit couple put the ant on the leaf of a plant to hide herB. the ant was wounded after fighting with a catC. the rabbit couple and the ant knew each other wellD. the rabbit couple often went to the river to relax in the sun22. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The ant was hurt by the lion.B. The ant was weak but clever.C. The white pigeon was as brave as the ant.D. The lion wanted to play a joke on the rabbits.23. According to the passage, which is the correct order of the following events?a. The ant jumped into the grass to hide. b. The ant bit the lions back.c. The lion moved toward the rabbit couple. d. The rabbit couple saved the ant.e. The ant saw the rabbit couple sleeping on the grass.A. d, c, e, a, b B. d, e, c, b, a C. e, c, b, a, d D. c, d, e, b, a24. The underlined word hazard in the fifth paragraph probably means _.A. reality B. scene C. experience D. danger BA group of men and women are standing around in a circle. First, someone starts to laugh. Then a few more people begin to laugh. Soon, the whole group are laughing. They are not laughing because someone has said something funny. Instead, this group of people are practicing laughter therapy (疗法). When we laugh from being tickled (胳肢) or after hearing a joke, our bodies and minds feel good. Laughing is also contagious. When one person laughs, the people around him or her will soon start laughing, too. Laughter therapy has been used in hospitals since the 1970s. Dr Lee Berk of Loma University Medical Centre, California, has been studying laughter therapy since the late 1970s. In 1989, Berk studied the effects of laughter in 10 men. Five men watched an one-hour-long comedy (喜剧) while another five didnt. The research showed that the men who watched the comedy and laughed developed better immune systems (免疫系统) compared to those who did not. Similarly, those who laughed during their treatment recovered faster. In India, Dr Madan Kataria started a laughter club in 1995 to encourage good health. From then on, this form of therapy has spread around the world. There are now more than 5,000 laughter clubs worldwide. People in these groups may feel uncomfortable at first because they feel laughter is forced (被强迫的), but once they give in and fully enjoy the 45-minute activity, they feel comfortable. People who take part in laughter therapy prove what scientists have known for years laughter is the best medicine.25. What do people do during the laughter therapy? A. Tickle the doctor. B. Tell each other jokes.C. Try to laugh with others. D. Form a circle and laugh at someone.26. The underlined word contagious in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. able to spread B. able to feel C. pleasant D. dangerous27. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. The development of laughter therapy. B. The development of laughter clubs.C. The origin of laughter therapy. D. The effects of laughter.28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Laughter therapy has been used in hospitals for about 20 years.B. Berk studied the effects of laughter in 10 healthy women.C. People who take part in laughter therapy always fell comfortable.D. Laughter therapy is becoming more widely used in the world.CThere are some strong-minded people that are able to stop smoking today and be free from the addiction the next day. However, some smokers may have to seek help from medication (药物治疗) in order to kick the habit.What medication actually does is to reduce the wish to smoke. Some of the medication must be taken with a doctors guidance. The five most common medications to stop smoking are Bupropion SR, nicotine gum, nicotine inhalers(吸入器）, nicotine nasal spray（鼻腔喷剂） and nicotine patches. People can buy nicotine gum and nicotine patches in chemists. However, the other medications require a prescription.Zyban tablets(药片)have been found to be highly effective in curing people of smoking addiction. The tablet needs to be taken whole, without crushing (碾碎)it, as crushing can lead to side effects. It can be bought on the prescription of a doctor.Nicotine patches are filled with nicotine and they are applied to the skin. The skin takes in the nicotine and carries it to the blood stream. The amount of nicotine in these patches is quite limited, not enough to lead to addiction. But you shouldnt take them for dinner. In fact, millions of people have benefited from these nicotine patches.Nicotine gum is supposed to be a safer choice. It is used in such a way that it comes into contact with the blood vessels (脉管) in the mouth and then releases the nicotine. The nicotine should not go through the stomach; otherwise, it may cause certain side effects.These different types of medications have to be taken quite carefully. Do ask your doctor before taking any of these.29. Which of the following medicines can be bought without a prescription?A. Zyban tablets. B. Nicotine patches. C. Nicotine inhalers. D. Nicotine nasal spray.30. Medication can _. A. weaken smokers wish to smokeB. clear away the nicotine in smokers bodiesC. only be taken on the prescription of a doctor D. stop people from becoming addicted to smoking31. From this passage we can learn that _. A. a strong-willed smoker must take medication to help stop smokingB. one shouldnt break the Zyban tablet into pieces when taking itC. nicotine patches can be injected into the blood stream D. nicotine gum can be swallowed (吞下) like food32. The best title for this passage is _. A. How to Cure Smoking Addiction B. Why People Become Addicted to SmokingC. New Ways to Help Stop Smoking D. Medication to Cure Smoking AddictionDA British-designed electronic newspaper made of plastic and no larger than a table mat(垫)is to enter the market next year. The new newspaper was conceived(设想)by Cambridge University scientists. They came up with the idea of replacing silicon chips(硅片)with plastic ones. It is being developed by Plastic Logic, a company based in Dresden, Germany. It looks just like a table mat, and is as light as a magazine. But you can download hundreds of newspapers at the touch of a button, and read them quite safely, the BBC reported on its website. The plastic paper is produced in a safe clean room at the Plastic Logic factory, which opened last month as the worlds first plastic-electronics factory. Every part of the product, from the screen to the electronics, is made of plastic. And it is described by engineer Dean Baker as top quality, as it could help solve the problem of waste associated with traditional newspapers. Theres a huge amount of waste. We have paper distributed(分发)all over the country each day and then thrown into the bin. This doesnt need to happen any more. All of the copies could be made electronically and stored on a single e-reader with the appearance of paper, he says. People are expecting to see the plastic newspaper next year, the BBC says.33.
