21、For most of human history, people thought the world was flat (平的). That is, they thought that if you traveled far enough in one direction, you would come to the edge of the world in the end. Then, about two thousand years ago, people started to come up with the idea that the earth was round. This meant that by traveling far enough in a straight line, you would finally come back to where you started.
It wasn’t until the sixteenth century that Ferdinand Magellan’s exploring team became the first to travel around the world. The exploring team first moved west from Portugal, around South America, across the Pacific, before returning around South Africa back to Portugal. Although Magellan died during the journey, one of his captains, Sebastian del Cano, made it all the way.
In 1872, the French science novel writer Jules Verne wrote a book called Around the World in 80 Days. The novel was about a man who traveled around the world, starting from London, to win a game.
In 1889, an American journalist, Nellie Bly, was sent by her newspaper to follow the journey taken by the characters in Verne’s book. She traveled around the world, sending letters back to her newspaper about her journey. She finally arrived back home after her trip, taking 72 days, six hours, eleven minutes, and fourteen seconds to go around the world.
Even though traveling around the world these days is very easy, and can be done in one or two days by plane, people are still interested in breaking records. From 1970 to 1974, an American, Dave Kunst, was the first person to walk all the way around the world. He wore out twenty one pairs of shoes on his trip! The first airplane flight round the world took place in 1924, done by Lt. Lowell H. Smith and five other Americans, and the first solo helicopter (直升机) flight around the world was done by an Australian explorer, Dick Smith, in 1982-1983.
As for a nonstop balloon flight all the way around the world, this wasn’t done until 2002, when Steve Fossett from the US finally succeeded after many tries.
【1】Who first said that the world was NOT flat?
A．Ferdinand Magellan.
B．Nellie Bly.
C．Jules Verne.
D．The passage doesn’t say.
【2】In the sixteenth century ______.
A．Ferdinand Magellan first tried to reach the world’s edge
B．it took the first exploring team 80 days to come back to Portugal
C．a captain named Sebastian del Cano traveled around the world
D．the first exploring team had to pass through five countries during the journey
【3】Which of these people did NOT go on a round-the-world journey?
A．Lowell H. Smith.
B．Jules Verne.
C．Dick Smith.
D．Steve Fossett.
【4】From the passage we know that ______.
A．an exploring team had been to the edge of the world about 2,000 years ago
B．today people can travel around the world in two days by plane if they want to
C．during the first airplane flight around the world only one American succeeded
D．since 1872 ten Americans have traveled around the world according to the passage
【5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Both Jules Verne and Nellie Bly wrote about traveling around the world.
B．About one hundred years ago, a Frenchman traveled around the world in 80 days.
C．It took Dave Kunst more than 6 years to travel around the world on foot.
D．In 2002 an Australian flew all the way around the world by ballooning.

23、 The Flame Mountain（火焰山）is about 200 km away from Urumqi in Xinjiang. It is in a place with many high mountains around it. It is much hotter than nearby places. If you want to enjoy the feeling of a hot shower in summer, it's the right place to go!
On hot summer days, it can get hotter than 80℃. Try to cook eggs or cakes in the sand and they will be ready in a few minutes!
Does rain help make it cooler? People hardly see rain in 10 out of the 12 months in a year. Why? For most of the time, the raindrops dry in the hot air before they reach the ground.
The mountain came into being millions of years ago when the earth was changing a lot. We can't see any plants on the top of the mountain, only red rocks. They make the whole mountain look red. In hot air and strong sunshine, the mountain looks like a burning flame. That's where its name comes from.

24、 In China, it’s a tradition for people to wait until the second day in the second month of the lunar (阴历的) year to cut their hair because people believe getting a hair cut on this day will bring them good luck. And traditional stories say that doing this in the first lunar month will cause your mother’s brothers to die.
Although it’s not true, some people still believe it. So, after a month’s wait, people usually flock to cut their hair on Dragon Head-Raising Day (龙抬头) ——the second day of the second lunar month.
Dragon Head-Raising Day falls on Feb 24 this year. It is an important traditional Chinese holiday. Ancient people believed that after this day, there would be more rainy days because the rain-bringing Dragon King would wake up from his winter sleep. So that day is the start of spring farming. Then goes a well-known saying, “On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.”
Besides cutting their hair, there are also other ways to celebrate this holiday. For example, people eat food with “dragon names”. People call noodles dragon’s beard (龙须). Dumplings are dragon’s ears (龙耳) and spring rolls (春卷) are dragon’s scales (龙鳞). Sewing (缝补) is something that you can’t do, because the needles (针) might bring bad luck by hurting the dragon’s eyes.
【1】People don’t cut their hair during the first lunar month because _____.
A.it would make the Dragon King angry
B.it would cause their mothers’ brothers to die
C.it would bring them bad luck
【2】The underlined word “flock” probably means _____.
A.gather B.forget C.refuse
【3】_____ is the start of spring farming.
A.February 24th B.February 2
C.The second day in the second month of the lunar year
【4】Which of the following is NOT a way to celebrate Dragon-Head Raising Day?
A.Cutting hair. B.Sewing. C.Eating dumplings.
【5】Which of the following is true about Dragon-Head Raising Day?
