Blink: a boy, aged 18

About me: I love all outdoor activities, especially playing ball games, traveling, and climbing. I play the guitar, and can say that I’m really good at it. I also like playing chess, but I don’t play it well. If you’re good at it, maybe you can teach me. I’m going to college this September. All I really want to do during the summer holiday is travel, teach, and learn languages (this is my hobby), see things, and build great friendships. I’d like people aged 17-20 to get in touch with me, both girls and boys. It’s better if you’re from Beijing or Tokyo. I’ve made 15 friends over the Internet. If you’d like to be one of them, send me an email at blink001@yahoo.com. My MSN is blink001@hotmail.com. I’d love to be your friend!
21. Where is Blink now?
A. In Dodge City. B. In Pratt. C. In Beijing. D. In Tokyo.
22. What is Blink NOT good at?
A. Playing the guitar. B. Playing ball games.
C. Playing chess. D. Learning languages.
23. What is Blink’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To make friends. B. To go on a trip.
C. To learn foreign languages. D. To introduce his hobbies.
( B )
When you visit America, you will see the word “Motel ”on signs and notice boards. It is made up of “motor” and “hotel” and it is really a hotel for people who arrive by car (however, you don’t need a car to stay at one). You have to pay when you arrive for your room, which usually has a bath. Meals are not provided, but there will certainly be a cafeteria ( 自助餐馆 ). Americans eat a lot of salads and sandwiches. Along the main roads there are a lot of motels. Each tries to offer more than next. Some provide television in every bedroom; others have swimming pools; and so on. Motels are especially useful when you are in the country, far from a town or city. You will also find them in the big National Parks.
In these great National Parks, you may meet guests you don’t expect to see. An American friend told me a little story. In the middle of a moonless night she heard strange noises outside her motel window in the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Thinking it might be a thief, she jumped out of bed, opened the door and crept towards a dark shadow. As she got close, she saw the thief. She was dreadfully frightened: it wasn’t a human thief — it was a big black bear. The bear was turning over some empty tins with its paw, looking for tasty bits of food. My friend decided to leave that particular thief alone!
There are also, of course, places called “rooming houses”, where they receive lodgers ( 房客 ). You will see such signs as Tourists or Rooms Rent, and you could try one of these. A word of warning — looking for a room in New York during the tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon!
24. Which of the following is TRUE about motels?
A. The word “motel” is formed by two words.
B. They are free for people who arrive by car.
C. If you want to stay at a motel, you must have a car.
D. You can only find motels in the big National Parks.
25. Which of the following is NOT provided by motels?
A. Meals. B. Swimming pools. C. TV. D. Baths.
26. From the last paragraph, we can learn that in New York during the tourist season ______.
A. tourists can find gold there B. it is difficult to find a room there
C. tourists can have a sweet dream there D. there is a warning for tourists to New York
( C )
Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks' time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive ( 存活 ) if the rain is spread throughout the year, If it falls, within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.
Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes ( 沙丘 ) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs ( 悬崖 ) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand , rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing —very, very slowly —as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
27. Many plants may survive in deserts when___________.
A. it is dry all the year round B. the rain falls only in a few weeks
C. there is little rain in a year D. the rain is spread out in a year
28. Sand dunes are formed when___________.
A. sand piles up gradually B. there is plenty of rain in a year
C. the sea has dried up over the years D. pieces of rock get smaller
29. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is_________.
A. too much sand B. more sand than before
C. something else besides sand D. nothing except sand
30 It can be learned from the text that in a desert____________.
A. life exists in rough conditions B. there is no rainfall throughout the year
C. all sand dunes are a few feet high D. rocks are worn away only by wind and heat
