四、阅读理解(共4题,共 20分)

24、Money is what people use to buy things they need or want. A long time ago, people didn’t use money. So how did they get the things they wanted? Well, there is a long and interesting story about this.

At first, they would exchange something they had for something they needed. For example, if the shoemaker needed some bread, he would give the baker (面包师) shoes and the baker would give him bread. This was called “bartering”.

Bartering worked well for a while. But after the baker had too many shoes, the shoemaker still needed more bread. What could they do? The solution to this problem was money.

Money was basically an agreement among people. People agreed that some metal (金属) or paper would be worth a certain amount of bread or a certain number of shoes.

There were many earlier forms of money, such as cattle (家畜), salt, grain and shells. But it was not easy to move them or store them. So coin began to take the place of things. Metal tool money was used in China as early as 1000 BC. Coins had a set value and could be stored. It became possible for people to trade in a standardized (标准的) way. A coin says right on it how much it is worth. Different coins are worth different amounts.

About three hundred years ago, paper money came into wide use. Paper money is cheaper to make than coins. It is also easier to carry around. Now people use paper money and coins in most countries.

【1】A long time ago, people got the things they wanted by ________.

A.giving the baker shoes

B.giving the shoemaker bread

C.using coins and paper money

D.exchanging things they had for things they needed

【2】The meaning of the underlined word “bartering” is “________”.

A.讨价还价

B.强买强卖

C.以货易货

D.清仓甩卖

【3】There were many earlier forms of money except ________.

A.salt

B.grain

C.cattle

D.bread

【4】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Different coins are worth the same amounts.

B.Money was basically an agreement among people.

C.Metal tool money was used in China before 1000 BC.

D.If the shoemaker needed some bread, he would give the baker bread and the baker would give him shoes.

【5】This passage mainly talks about ________.

A.the use of money

B.money is everything

C.the birth of money

D.people like money

25、Almost everyone has dropped some food on the floor and still wanted to eat it. If someone saw you drop it, he or she might have shouted, “ 5-second rule!” This so–called rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less. But is that true?

Professor Anthony Hilton from Ashton University, UK, tested the rule with his students. They found that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria(细菌) than if it sits there for longer.

For the study, Hilton and his students tested a lot of foods——bread, pasta, cookies and candy—to see how much bacteria they had when they made contact with the floor. They allowed the food to lie on the different types of flooring—carpet(地毯), laminate (复合地板) and tile(瓷砖) — for three seconds to 30 seconds.

Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had. And the type of floor where the dropped food landed had an effect. Bacteria are least likely to transfer(转移) from carpet, while they are most likely to transfer laminate or tiled surface after more than five seconds.

The study also found that the wetter the food, the more likely it was to pick up bacteria. Although most people are happy to follow the 5-second rule, eating food dropped on the floor still carries an infection(感染) risk. “It very much depends on which bacteria are on the floor at the time.” Hilton told Forbes.

1What is the “5-second rule’ mean?

A. People often shout at someone when they drop food on the floor.

B. Food is safe when you pick it up off the floor in less than five seconds.

C. It’s better to eat dropped food when it’s been on the floor for over five seconds.

D. Food will go bad when dropped food on the floor in five seconds or less.

2Where is Ashton University?

A. In the USA. B. In England.

C. In China.   D. In France.

3Hilton’s test wanted to find out____________.

A. if the “5-second rule” is true

B. the students’ favorite food

C. which food is easily dropped

D. if different types of floor have different bacteria

4According to the test, we learn the following EXCEPT ________.

A. the dropped food had more bacteria if it sat on the floor for longer.

B. the dropped food on the carpet had the least bacteria.

C. bacteria was impossible to transfer from laminate or tiled surfaces.

D. the wetter food was likely to pick up bacteria.

5According to the article, the infection risk of the dropped does NOT depend on _____________.

A. how long the food sits on the floor

B. what the dropped food is

C. what the bacteria are

D. what the weather is like that day

 

26、She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old. It was pouring so heavily. We all stood there just inside the door of the Wal-Mart.

Then, we heard the girt asked, “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”

“What?” Mom asked.

“Let’s run through the rain.” She repeated.

“No, honey. We’ll wait until it slows down a bit,” Mom replied. This young child waited about another minute and repeated, “Mom. let’s run through the rain.”

“We’ll get wet if we do.” Mom said.

“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning.” The young girl said.

“This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”

“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer (癌症), you said, if God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!”

We all stood silently, No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom said nothing for a while. “Honey, you are right. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,” Mom said. Then off they ran.

We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the cars and they held their shopping bags over their heads just in case they got wet. When they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars.

And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. People can take away material possessions, your money or your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories. So don’t forget to make time and take the chances to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.
