21、 For many teenagers who are growing up in cities, the first things that catch their eyes when they come to the countryside are the animals, farm tools and above all, the rural scenery that is very different from that in cities.
But when Wang Zhicheng, a 17-year-old boy from Qingdao No. 2 High School went to his mother’s hometown for the first time during Spring Festival, he was shocked by the terrible condition of the roads.
Roads in the small village in Heze, Shangdong province were muddy and bumpy(崎岖的). “Complaining doesn’t solve any problems. I wondered what I could do to help rebuild the roads,” Wang said.
He talked to villagers and learned that a lack of money had been the major problem that had gotten in the way of the rebuilding project. Wang decided to donate 3,000 yuan of his gift money he had received for Chinese Lunar Ney Year over the past three years. But it was really only a drop in the ocean. What else could he do?
Then he realized he could use the Internet. Wang said he remembered the reports he had read on social networking sites about crowd funding helping cancer patients and other charity projects. So why not try Internet crowd funding for the village road?
Wang released the information on the Internet on Feb 22. “I was not sure whether I had expected too much from the Internet, but it was worth trying,” he said. Much to his surprise, he achieved that goal in just 10 days. Money continued to be transferred(转入)into the account and up to now, a total of 50,000 yuan has been collected.
The new road will hopefully be ready by the end of this year. “I had thought charity was just showing off, but I came to realize that it is a systematic project. It not only helps those in need, but also highlights the positive side of life for all the people involved.”

22、Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (废气). So the city began a plan to improve the situation.
Under the Velib plan, people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it’s only €1 a day or €29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
Paris is not the first city to have a plan like this. But not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won’t use a bicycle—they’ll still use their cars.”
A city spokesman said, “The bicycle plan won’t solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren’t any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”
【1】What can we learn about the Velib plan?
A.Its bikes have no baskets.
B.Its bikes are light and colorful.
C.It has more stations than the subway.

A.The cost is rather high.
B.It’s not suitable for a long journey.

【4】What’s the city spokesman’s attitude towards the bicycle project?
A.Worried.
B.Uncaring.
C.Doubtful.
D.Positive.
23、When you visit Kinderdijk, one of the most visited villages in the Netherlands, you step right into the middle of Dutch history.
Kinderdijk lies in the Alblasserwaard, where the Lek and Noord rivers meet together. Much of the village is near or even below sea level. Although there are canals and dykes (堤坝), the lowlands of the village are still at risk of flooding (洪灾). Among the most deadly floods was Saint Elisabeth’s flood in 1421, which killed thousands after the dykes broke in several places. To deal with this kind of problem, the Kinderdijk windmills (风车) were built around 1740 to move water from the lower areas to higher ground and into the river.
Nineteen of the 20 Kinderdijk windmills remain and were named a UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) Site in 1997. Of the 19 windmills, 16 still have millers who live inside and control the huge sails (翼板) in the wind. These windmills continue to help manage the Netherlands ongoing fight to stay above water.
For tourists, boat tours are offered along the canals and walkways lead from the visitor center to the windmills. Two windmills serve as museums, filled with old millers’ items and photos. You can climb up inside to see how the windmills work. The windmills also are working, so be prepared to feel the whole building shake when the sails turn in the wind.
Each year, about 500,000 people visit the Kinderdijk windmills and the buildings have become a must-see on any trip to the Netherlands. There are some windmills north of Amsterdam that “were built for tourists, but we’re a historical site where tourists come, so it’s the other way around,” says Kinderdijk communications manager Peter Paul Klapwijk. “Tourism is a good way to support our site.”
【1】Why were the Kinderdijk windmills built around 1740?
A.To protect dykes.
B.To produce clean water.

A.Most of them are working as before.
B.Most of them have become museums.
C.Several of them have been sold to millers.
D.Several of them were destroyed long ago.

C.Excited.
D.Surprised.
【4】What does the text mainly introduce?
A.The history of Kinderdijk
B.A famous historical site
C.An amazing village of canals
D.The traditions of the Netherlands
24、 Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda(大熊猫)eats only one particular type of bamboo(竹子). Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly(蝴蝶)will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet(多样化饮食). The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
【1】We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.
A.depend on one sense in choosing food
