He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was seventy-five, he gave $ 60,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s ground.‎ As a result of his kindness, he became famous. Many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection in my neck each evening,” he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.‎ The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had daily injection in his neck. Within ‎ a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain, asking him for the secret of his daily injection.‎ ‎21 Johnson became a rich man through _______.‎ A. doing business B. making whisky C. cheating D. buying and selling land ‎22.

Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane, and explore new ways of living “green”.‎ Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead, it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well-educated like a white collar but physically tough like a blue collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5, 000 yuan.‎ The life of a green collar may go something like this: turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go out on hikes every weekend, ‎ and like to help the underprivileged.‎ Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief projects in China.‎ ‎“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it,” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.‎ ‎25. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. The appearance of gold collar workers.‎ B. The increasing awareness of environmental protection.‎ C. The lifestyle of green collars.‎ D. New trends in big cities of China.‎ ‎26. Green collars are living green because .‎ A. they devoted themselves to environmental protection B. they spend a lot of time in the open air C. they refuse to live an unhealthy life D. they have a large income ‎27. Which of the following best describes Zuo Shiguang’s attitude towards green collars?‎ A. Scolding. B. Appreciative. C. Doubtful. D. Neutral.‎ ‎28. “the underprivileged “ in the third paragraph probably refers to those .‎ A. in unfavorable conditions B. in faraway places C. poorly educated D. in heavily polluted areas C ‎ Last month I was lucky enough to have a chance to make a trip into space with my friend Li Yanping, an astronomer. We visited the moon in our spaceship! ‎ ‎ Before we left, Li Yanping explained to me that the force of gravity would change three times on our journey and that the first change would be the most powerful. Then we were off. As the rocket rose into the air, we were pushed back into our seats because we were trying to escape the pull of the earth’s gravity. It was so hard that we could not say anything to each other. Gradually the weight lessened and I was able to talk to him. "Why is the spaceship not falling back to the earth? On the earth if I fall from a tree I will fall to the ground." I asked. "We are too far from the earth now to feel its pull, " he explained, "so we feel as if there is no gravity at all. When we get closer to the moon, we shall feel its gravity pulling us, but it will not be as strong a pull as the earth's. " I cheered up immediately and floated weightlessly around in our spaceship cabin watching the earth become smaller and the moon larger. When we got there, I wanted to explore immediately. "Come on," I said. "If you are right, my mass will be less than on the earth because the moon is smaller and I will be able to move more freely. I might even grow taller if I stay here long enough. I shall certainly weigh less!" I laughed and climbed down the steps from the spaceship. But when I tried to step forward, I found I was carried twice as far as on the earth and fell over. "Oh dear," I cried, "walking does need a bit of practice now that gravity has changed." After a while I got the hang of it and we began to enjoy ourselves.‎ ‎29. From the passage, we can learn that ______________.‎ ‎ A. walking on the moon was very easy ‎ B. the writer was too frightened to speak ‎ C. the writer became taller and fatter on the moon ‎ D. the pull of gravity on Earth is stronger than that on the moon ‎30. What is the best title of this passage?‎ ‎ A. A Visit to the Moon ‎ B. The Pull of Gravity ‎ C. The Science of the Star ‎ D. A Bridge to Space ‎31. Where does this text probably come from?‎ ‎ A. Science fiction.‎ B. A science report.‎ ‎ C. An advertisement.‎ D. Children's Literature.‎ D People do not like being separated from their mobile phones, even while enjoying a restful holiday at the beach. However, the phone battery may become exhausted completely. If that happens, they have no choice but to connect the phone to the power supply. But it’s impossible to get the battery charged at the beach. What’s worse, the hot sun is shining right overhead, and the water in the bottle is sure to reach a very high temperature.‎ Antoine Sayah, a university student from Lebanon, developed a special beach mat(垫) called the Beachill. It looks similar to the ordinary beach mat and will cause back pain as well. However, the device can recharge any mobile phone. It is designed to be water-resistant and has a 5-watt solar panel, which provides power continuously. The mat also has the refrigeration equipment that can help keep drinks cool, just like the refrigerator.‎ Antoine Sayah began selling the Beachill on the Internet for＄150. He says he has been surprised at the reaction worldwide. “I have got orders for the device from Brazil, Toronto, all over Europe, especially France, America, from all continents.” The Beachill is also gaining popularity in other places, like swimming pools and boats.‎ Some people like the mat because it is lightweight and easy-to-carry. Rita Mathieu bought one of the Beachills. “When I am on the beach, I used to look around for a charger and never managed to find any and the water never stays cool,” she says, “so this kind of beach mat is wonderful and has everything in it, even a pocket where I can put a book. Thanks to it, I can surf the Internet and keep in touch with friends at any time at the beach.”‎ ‎32. The first paragraph is mainly intended to .‎ A. show great pity for people at the beach ‎ B. prove the importance of mobile phones C. prove the importance of water in hot weather ‎ D. attract the readers’ interest in the subject ‎33. What can we learn about the Beachill? ‎ A. It has some function of the refrigerator. B. It will stop working in the water.‎ C. It is quite unusual in appearance. D. It can only be used at the beach.‎ ‎34. Rita Mathieu is mentioned to prove the Beachill's .‎ A. convenience B. popularity C. good quality D. low price ‎35. The text is written to _______.‎ A. tell people a new way to get a cold drink B. introduce a beach mat that can charge a phone C. ask people to stop using phones at the beach D. encourage people to travel around the world 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎5 Things to Do in a Traffic Jam Tired of traffic jams?
