In the United States, sixteen, eighteen and twenty-one are important ages in a person’s life．There are no special celebrations for these birthdays, but each is a time when a person can do new things．And they show he or she is getting closer to becoming an adult．

In the United States, after turning sixteen a person can work, and get a driver’s licence (驾照 )．Many high school students learn to drive and get part-time jobs soon after celebrating their sixteenth birthday．At eighteen, people can join the army, but they are prohibited from going into many nightclubs, buying drinks like beer or wine, or gambling until they are twenty-one．

In many Latin American(拉丁美洲) countries, a young lady’s fifteenth birthday is important．At this age, she is no longer thought to be a girl, but a lady．To mark this special day, families with fifteen-year-old daughters have a celebration．The day begins with the young lady and her family going to church(教堂)．Later there is a party and many guests are invited．

In some countries, birthday celebrations continue throughout adulthood．Some people celebrate their fortieth and fiftieth birthdays or the year that they retire with a big party．

Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 2nd, 1666．In four days, it destroyed(破坏) large areas of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together．One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives．

The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King’s baker in Pudding Lane．The baker, with his family members, was able to get out through a window in the roof．A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery into a small hotel next door．Then it spread quickly into Thames Street．That was the beginning．

By eight o’clock, three hundred houses were on fire．On Monday, nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along River Thames．Tuesday was the worst day．The fire destroyed many well-known buildings．Old St Paul’s Cathedral and the Guildhall were among them．

Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire: People threw their things into the river．Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment．Birds fell out of the sky because of the heat．

The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire．With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out．After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect (建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone, In fact, the streets are still narrow．But he did build more than fifty churches, among them new St Paul’s Cathedral．

The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past．

(   )24．It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that________．

A．some people lost their lives

B．the birds in the sky were killed by the fire

C．many famous buildings were destroyed

D．the King’s bakery was burned down

(   )25．Why did the writer cite(引用) Samuel Pepys?

A．Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire．

B．Because Pepys also wrote about the fire．

C．To show that poor people suffered(遭受) most．

D．To give readers a clearer picture of the fire．

(   )26．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Great Fire of London ended on September 4th, 1666．

B．Many birds were burned in the fire because they couldn’t fly away in time．

C．The King’s baker put out the great fire．

D．No pain, no gain．London became a better place because of the great fire．

My first home was a beautiful meadow with a pond of clear water．There were some large trees near the pond．On one side of the meadow was a field and on the other was the house of our master Farmer Grey．He was a kind man．

My mother and I had a happy life．She worked during the day．I played with the other young horses and had great fun．At night, I lay next to her．

One day, my master sold me to Squire Gordon．He lived with his family in a big house．

“You’re a beautiful horse,” he said．”You have a beautiful black coat．I shall call you Black Beauty．”

I learned to carry my master on my back and pull a coach．I learned to wear reins(疆绳) and a bit(马嚼子) in my mouth．I did not like them, but all the horses had to wear them．

My master had another two horses．One of them was Merrylegs．He was very friendly．The other was Ginger．She was not friendly．She bit and kicked people．

Ginger and I pulled a coach together．The coachman’s name was John．Ginger and I worked very hard．We became friends．

Ginger told me about her life when she was young．She told me, “My master was not kind to me．My reins and bit hurt me．My master did not care．”

Squire Gordon and his men felt sorry for Ginger．They were always kind to her．She stopped biting and kicking people．She became a happy horse．

One day in autumn, Squire Gordon went on a long journey．John went with him and I pulled the coach．The weather was rainy and windy．Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain．We came to a bridge．I stopped．”Something is wrong ,” I thought．I did not want to go on to the bridge．Mr Gordon and John wanted me to go on to the bridge．I did not move．Just then, a man saw us．”Hey there! Stop!” he cried．

“What is it?” shouted the squire．

“The bridge is broken in the middle,” he answered．”If you go on to it, you are all going to drown in the river．”

“Thank God!” said the squire．”Thank you, Beauty!” said John．We turned around and went along the road by the river．For a long time, no one said anything．Then John said, “Black Beauty saved our lives．He knew the bridge was dangerous．”

When we returned home, the squire told Mrs Gordon:

“We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty!”

That night, I was glad though I was very tired．

(   )27．What do the underlined words “coach” and “drown” probably mean in the passage according to the given English-English dictionary entries(词条)?

A．1 ; 2             B．3 ; 1             C．1 ; 3             D．3 ; 3

(   )28．How did Black Beauty save his master’s life?

      A．By fixing the bridge．

      B．By asking other horses for help．

      C．By crossing the bridge．

      D．By refusing to step onto the bridge．

(   ) 29．What might happen that night from the passage?

      A．Black Beauty was sent away from home．

      B．Mr Gordon sold Black Beauty to others．

      C．Black Beauty got good food and a nice bed．

      D．Mr Gordon had Black Beauty do extra work．

                                  D

In the park, you see a group of people, all looking up at the sky．Without thinking about it, you look upwards too．Why? In the concert, someone begins to clap and suddenly the whole room joins in．You do too．Why ?

Sometimes you feel you are acting correctly when you do the same as others．The more people follow an idea, the better or truer you think the idea is．It’s the social proof (社会认同感) that works．

The scientist Asch carries out an experiment．It shows how social proof can influence people．In a room, a man is shown Line 1, and next to it are three lines (A, B, C)．A is longer, C is shorter and B is as long as Line 1．He must tell which of the three lines is as long as Line 1．When the man is alone, he gives the correct answer B．Then five other men enter the room, and each of them gives the answer C as they were told to．Now the man changes his idea and gives the answer C．Asch gets the same result many times among different subjects（实验对象）．

Why do people act like this? Well, in the past, following others was a way to keep from danger．Suppose that 5,000 years ago, you were hunting with friends．Suddenly, they all ran away．What would you have done? Would you have stayed? No．You would have run too．You are descendants(后代) of those who copied others’ actions．It is so deeply planted in your mind that you still use it now．

Social proof has special power．The advertising industry, for example, often makes use of it．So be careful whenever a company says its product is “the most popular”．

(  ) 30．At the beginning of the passage, the writer leads in the topic by________．    

       A．telling a story                          B．giving examples

       C．answering questions              D．showing a map

(  )31．According to Paragraph 3, the experiment by Asch shows ________．

       A．following others is always right．

       B．social proof may change people’s ideas

       C．it’s difficult to carry out the experiment

       D．people can study better if they are alone

(  ) 32．According to the passage, we can infer that        ．

      A ．it’s important to run with others anytime

      B．products in the advertisement are the best

      C．we mustn’t copy others’ actions to keep safe

      D．we need to think twice before following others

Thousands of years ago, people didn’t live in cold places because they didn’t know how to keep themselves warm． 33  When an animal was killed, they made use of its skin to cover their bodies． 34

Nature is our friend．It helped us discover fire when lightning hit a forest and started a fire．  35

It’s a cold, grey Sunday afternoon．The light is slowly fading(衰减), but all over the UK people are working in their gardens．They’re digging, cutting leaves and planting new seeds．By summer, their gardens will be full of bright colours．

The British love their gardens．According to a British newspaper, 70 per cent of people felt it was important to spend time in the garden, and over half described gardening as the most enjoyable thing they do．

Only one in ten houses in the UK do not have a garden．People who live in houses without gardens often rent(租) land cheaply from the government to grow flowers or vegetables．You can, of course, just grow houseplants inside or on your balcony．

Once it was only the very wealthy(富裕的) who had a garden．In the nineteenth century, however, gardening became a hobby．Around the same time, better transport meant people could buy different kinds of seeds and plants for their gardens．Roses, sunflowers, onions and tomatoes are often grown in British gardens．

In many villages and towns, there are competitions for the gardens that are best looked after．This year, the winner was a little village in Northern Ireland called “A Hog Hill”．It’s already won four prizes for its beauty．

People also take part in competitions to grow the largest vegetables．But don’t expect to win—the

Biggest carrot in the UK is almost six meters long!

53．When did gardening become a hobby in the UK?

54．What do British people often grow in their gardens?

55．Would you like to have a garden in your home? Why or why not?
