But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(预报). For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably approach. Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.21. According to the passage, peoples joints ache _. A. because they are illB. is a sign of coming rainC. without any reasonD. because of the insects 22. Which of the following can be used here to replace the underlined phrase “on the way”?A. awayB. goneC. coming D. disappearing23. Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?A. A rainbow appears in the morning. B. Some birds fly high.C. The stars twinkle clearly at night. D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.24. Which of the following sentences can you infer from the passage?A. One is never too old to learn. B. The early bird catches the worm.C. AnhourinthemorningisworthtwointheeveningD. Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night, sailors delight.BThe old man walked with a cane (拐杖) slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, worn-out trousers made him different from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds and thin lips that held a steady smile.He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, “Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair.”Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Supporting him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table. In a soft, clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss.” “Youre welcome, Sir.” She replied. “My name is Mary. Ill be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me.”After he had finished a nice meal, Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and walking with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir!” He nodded a thank you and said with a smile, “You are very kind!”When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a $ 100 bill. The note read, “Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you.”The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. This was the first time that she, or any of his employees, had seen him in person.25.

The words the man left on the napkin suggested that _.A. respecting others means respecting oneself B. serving others is a respectable job C. Mary would get a rise as a result of her kindness D. Marys kind service would bring in more money for her28. Which of the following is the best title for the story? A. A Kind- hearted GirlB. Shining KindnessC. Kindness Means OpportunitiesD. A Special BossCAustralias koalas could die out within 30 years unless immediate action is taken to stop the losing in population, according to researchers. They say development, climate change and bushfires have all combined to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply. The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than half in the past six years. The number of koalas was once estimated to be more than 100,000, but now is as few as 43,000. The foundation collected field data from 1,800 sites and 80,000 trees to calculate the numbers. In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20,000 koalas a decade ago, a team of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of searching.The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests, hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional value of their main food, eucalyptus (桉树) leaves, leading to poor nutrition for them. Koalas, which live in the forests in Australias east and south, are very picky about what types of the leaves they eat. Foundation chief Deborah Tabart said: “The koalas are missing everywhere we look. Its really no tree, no me. If you keep cutting down trees you dont have any koalas.” She is hoping the new figures will persuade the governments Threatened Species Steering Committee (TSSC) to list the koala as threatened. But committee chairman Bob Beeton said a decision was not likely recently and the koalas status as one of the countrys favourite animals would not be a factor. “Theres a number of species which are attractive and people have special feelings towards them. We dont consider that,” Mr Beeton said.29. The writer gives the example of the area in northern Queensland in Paragraph 3 to show that _.A. the forests are being damaged heavily B. the number of koalas is dropping quickly C. koalas usually live in wild mountainous areas D. the environment is being polluted seriously30. Global warming is an important cause of koalas reduction because _.A. koalas can hardly stand the hot weather B. koalas cannot get enough water to drink C. the leaves koalas eat are losing nutritional value D. the leaves koalas eat cannot grow in hot weather31. According to Bob Beeton, _.A. koalas are his favourite animals B. a decision will be made to protect koalasC. koalas neednt be protected at all D. they neednt pay special attention to koalas DFood Festivals Around the WorldStilton Cheese RollingMay Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who participate in cheese rolling. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors lane (赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.Fiery Foods FestivalThe Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
