Thats what all doctors thought , until they heard about Herpin. Herpin, it was said , never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised . Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw him sleeping. In fact , he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure. Herpin died at the age of 94.21. The main idea of this passage is that_A. large numbers of people do not need sleepB. a person was found who actually didnt need any sleepC. everyone needs some sleep to stay aliveD. people can live longer by trying not to sleep22.

One day he met a fairy （仙女）who allowed him to make a wish for something. The king replied at once , I love gold . I want everything I touch to change into gold”. Very well , tomorrow morning, everything you touch will turn into gold .”Saying this, the fairy disappeared.The king waited excitedly till the next morning. To his joy ,everything he touched changed immediately into gold. Im the richest man in the world now.” He shouted.Soon Midas became hungry. He sat down at his table. All the foods and drinks turned into gold in his hand . Im dying of hunger.” He cried.Just then his daughter came running in . Why are you so sad , dad ?” she asked, putting her arms around him. There and then she became a golden statue. The king loved his daughter very much .Seeing this ,he began to cry. He looked up and suddenly saw the fairy before him. Dont you like the golden touch?” asked the fairy. Please take it away,” begged the king, give me back my daughter.” Well, you have learned your lesson. Go and wash in the river. Then the golden touch will be gone.” The king ran quickly to the nearby river.25. The fairy allowed the king to make a wish because_A. she hoped to make the king the richest in the world.B.

At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady ( 镇定的), and that will win the race. Dont you think theres something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “ Do you mean next time when Im entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didnt wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didnt have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance ( 坚忍不拔的 ), by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “Thats a lie,” he said. “ He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadnt happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but hed never have won the race. Thats for sure.”I gave up. Todays children are not like what we used to be. Theyre just hopeless.29. The writer argued ( 辩论 )with his son because _.A. he liked tortoises while his son liked haresB. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolishC. he tried to teach his son a moral ( 品德 )lesson but the son had totally different opinionD. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didnt.30. Sonny believed that the tortoise _.A. won the race by his own hard workingB. took a risk ( 冒险 )by agreeing to run a raceC. was not given a fair chance in the raceD. in fact did win the race luckily31. Billy, Tony and Sandy must be_.A. boys who were unknown to Sonnys fatherB. boys who Sonny has run races with beforeC. boys who Sonny has never raced with beforeD. boys who Sonny did not expect to race with again32. The writer thinks that his generation ( 一代人 )_.A. are cleverer than Sonnys generationB. have the same ideas about life as Sonnys generationC. are more hopeful than Sonnys generationD. have different ideas about life from Sonnys generationDI wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but thats impossible. For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easygoing and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardestworking people I have ever met.In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely. The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isnt large and I live better. Nonimported (非进口的) foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children cant afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized. Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems.When I am asked which country I consider better, China or the US, my answer has always been the same, “We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.”33What does the author think of Chinese people?A. He praises most Chinese people a lot.B. He thinks most Chinese people are proud.C. He thinks most Chinese people hardly work.D. He dislikes most Chinese people.34What is the author doing in China?A. He is visiting the places of interest.B. He is teaching English in a school.C. He is studying in a college.D. He is on business.35What are not cheap in China in the authors opinion?A. Clothes and shoes made in China.B. Local foodsC. Imported foodsD. Public transportation tickets.第二节、七选五（共10分）The benefits of keeping a journalIf you want to grow , one important thing you should do is keeping a journal .
