B
When I saw my 10-year-old avoiding the dirty plate in the sink or my 8-year-old feeling uncomfortable about the wet sand in her hands, I’m reminded of a time when I was unwilling to get my hands a little dirty.
My parents owned a 500-acre farm in Montana to raise animals, such as cows, sheep, horses and so on. It was during the time of new life (a newborn lamb or a calf) that my favorite childhood memory took place. One exceptionally cold day, I was checking on the sheep with my mother when she spied a ewe (母羊) in trouble. The poor thing was trying to deliver her baby lamb and needed our help. My mother calmly held the ewe’s head and instructed me to grab hold of the two protruding(突出)legs.
I hesitated, and must have had quite a look of panic on my young face. The slimy little things were definitely not something I wanted to touch. But I worked up my courage and wrapped my fingers around them. I can still recall the feel of unexpectedly weak legs and their sharp little hooves as if it happened yesterday.
My heart pounded in fear and excitement as I pulled with all my strength. The lamb was delivered safely, and I’d never seen anything so beautiful.
I was no stranger to seeing farm animals being born, but to have a hand in it was something I treasured then and will treasure forever. I remember feeling excited with delight to see “my lamb” being licked clean by her mother, and I’m sure everyone got very tired of hearing me tell and retell my heroic story. Looking back, I’m so glad that I didn’t refuse to get my hands dirty. If I had, the wonderful moment and the precious memory would have been lost.
24. What impressed the writer most during her childhood?
A. Her dirty little hands. B. Her parents’ large farm.
C. Helping deliver a baby lamb. D. Raising animals on the farm.
25. How did the author feel when she was asked to help a ewe deliver her baby?
A. Some sympathy. B. Rather frightened.
C. Quite astonished. D. Highly delighted.
26. What point does the author try to make in the last paragraph?
A. It is not unusual to see a new life coming into the world.
B. It is not easy to make up and tell a heroic story in daily life.
C. Memories formed during childhood are worth valuing all life long.
D. You need to get your hands dirty to experience something precious.
27. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. A Valuable Life Lesson B. A Tidy and Clean Child
C. A Ewe Delivering her Baby D. A Beautiful Newborn Lamb
C
Michael Phelps has broken a 2,000-year-old Olympic record by winning more individual titles than Leonidas of Rhodes. Who was this athlete whose record (12 individual titles) has taken 2000 years to beat?
Phelps has a total of 22 Olympic gold medals, but in terms of individual titles he has only just passed the greatest athlete of the ancient world. Leonidas of Rhodes competed in four Olympiads in 164 BC, 160 BC, 156 BC and 152 BC and in each of these he won three different foot races.
The three events at which he won were the stadion, a sprint(短跑) of roughly 200m; the diaulos, which was twice the distance of the stadion; and the race in armour(盔甲).
Unlike most races, the race in armour required competitors to wear heavy armour, possibly including a helmet, a breastplate, shin armour and a shield made from bronze and wood.
“He broke through the distinction between sprinters and endurance(耐力) athletes,” says Paul Cartledge, professor of classics at the University of Cambridge. The race in armour had not previously been considered suitable for sprinters. “They were running in armour, the temperature would be 40℃. You can imagine how it would be in that race. It required completely different muscles and gymnastic skills.”
“There is very little biographical information about Leonidas, and no images of him survive,” says Cartledge. But his name — coming from the Greek word for lion - suggests he was a man of distinction. After his death, “he was respected as a local god in Rhodes,” says Swaddling, the director of a museum. He was also venerated in ancient Greek literature. Pausanias described him as “the most famous runner”. In the 3rd Century, Philostratus the Athenian wrote in his Gymnastikos that Leonidas's achievement proved that not all received wisdom about athletic training and body types was true.
A statue of him in Rhodes displayed the legend: “He had the speed of a God.” Quite a reputation for Phelps to live up to.
28. How many individual titles has Phelps won in the Olympics?
A. 22. B. 13. C. 12. D. 9.
29. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The conditions of race in armour were unpleasant.
B. Leonidas was a swimmer with speed and endurance.
C. Leonidas didn’t have his picture drawn in his day.
D. Phelps owed his success to the influence of Leonidas.
30. The underlined word “venerated” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. accepted B. collected C. shaped D. honoured
31. What question does the author mainly discuss?
A. Who was Philostratus the Athenian? B. Who is Michael Phelps?
C. Who was Leonidas of Rhodes? D. Who is Paul Cartledge?
D
In the 1500’s when the Spanish moved into what later was to become the southwestern United States, they came across the ancestors of the modern-day Pueblo, Hopi, and Zuni peoples. These ancestors, known variously as the basket makers, the Anasazi, or the Ancient ones, had lived in the area for at least 2,000 years. They were an advanced agricultural people who used irrigation to help grow their crops.
The Anasazi lived in houses constructed of adobe (土磚) and wood. Anasazi houses were originally built in holes and were entered from the roof. But around the year 700 A.D., the Anasazi began to build their homes above ground and join them together into groups of multistoried large buildings, which the Spanish called pueblos or villages. Separate rooms under the ground in these pueblos – known as kivas – were set aside for religious ceremonies. Each kiva had a hole that was believed to lead to the underworld. The largest pueblos had five stories and more than 800 rooms.
The Anasazi family was matrilinear (母系遺傳). The holy objects of the family were under the control of the oldest female, but the actual ceremonies were conducted by her brother, or son. Women owned the rooms in the pueblo and the crops, once they were harvested. While still growing, crops belonged to the men, who, in contrast to most other Native American groups, planted them. The women made baskets and pottery; the men made cloth and jewelry.
Each village had two chiefs. The village chief dealt with land disputes (爭議) and religious affairs. The war chief led the men in fighting during occasional conflicts that broke out with neighboring villages and directed the men in community building projects. The solid political and social organization of the Anasazi made it almost impossible for other groups to conquer them.
32. What do we know about the Anasazi people?
A. They were good at growing crops. B. They were immigrants from Spain.
C. They stored their crops in caves. D. They had battles against the Spanish.
33. What does the underlined word "they"(Paragraph 3) refer to?
A. Women. B. Pueblos. C. Rooms. D. Crops.
34. What can be concluded from the text?
A. The Anasazi benefited from trade with the Spanish.
B. The division of labor in Anasazi society was clear.
C. The Spanish caused harm to Anasazi society.
D. Constant conflicts existed in Anasazi society.
35. What can best describe the Anasazi?
A. Aggressive. B. Honesty. C. United. D. Selfish.

Michael Phelps has broken a 2,000-year-old Olympic record by winning more individual titles than Leonidas of Rhodes. Who was this athlete whose record (12 individual titles) has taken 2000 years to beat?
Phelps has a total of 22 Olympic gold medals, but in terms of individual titles he has only just passed the greatest athlete of the ancient world. Leonidas of Rhodes competed in four Olympiads in 164 BC, 160 BC, 156 BC and 152 BC and in each of these he won three different foot races.
The three events at which he won were the stadion, a sprint(短跑) of roughly 200m; the diaulos, which was twice the distance of the stadion; and the race in armour(盔甲).
Unlike most races, the race in armour required competitors to wear heavy armour, possibly including a helmet, a breastplate, shin armour and a shield made from bronze and wood.
“He broke through the distinction between sprinters and endurance(耐力) athletes,” says Paul Cartledge, professor of classics at the University of Cambridge. The race in armour had not previously been considered suitable for sprinters. “They were running in armour, the temperature would be 40℃. You can imagine how it would be in that race. It required completely different muscles and gymnastic skills.”
“There is very little biographical information about Leonidas, and no images of him survive,” says Cartledge. But his name — coming from the Greek word for lion - suggests he was a man of distinction. After his death, “he was respected as a local god in Rhodes,” says Swaddling, the director of a museum. He was also venerated in ancient Greek literature. Pausanias described him as “the most famous runner”. In the 3rd Century, Philostratus the Athenian wrote in his Gymnastikos that Leonidas's achievement proved that not all received wisdom about athletic training and body types was true.
A statue of him in Rhodes displayed the legend: “He had the speed of a God.” Quite a reputation for Phelps to live up to.
28. How many individual titles has Phelps won in the Olympics?
A. 22. B. 13. C. 12. D. 9.
29. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The conditions of race in armour were unpleasant.
B. Leonidas was a swimmer with speed and endurance.
C. Leonidas didn’t have his picture drawn in his day.
D. Phelps owed his success to the influence of Leonidas.
30. The underlined word “venerated” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. accepted B. collected C. shaped D. honoured
31. What question does the author mainly discuss?
A. Who was Philostratus the Athenian? B. Who is Michael Phelps?
C. Who was Leonidas of Rhodes? D. Who is Paul Cartledge?

In the 1500’s when the Spanish moved into what later was to become the southwestern United States, they came across the ancestors of the modern-day Pueblo, Hopi, and Zuni peoples. These ancestors, known variously as the basket makers, the Anasazi, or the Ancient ones, had lived in the area for at least 2,000 years. They were an advanced agricultural people who used irrigation to help grow their crops.
The Anasazi lived in houses constructed of adobe (土磚) and wood. Anasazi houses were originally built in holes and were entered from the roof. But around the year 700 A.D., the Anasazi began to build their homes above ground and join them together into groups of multistoried large buildings, which the Spanish called pueblos or villages. Separate rooms under the ground in these pueblos – known as kivas – were set aside for religious ceremonies. Each kiva had a hole that was believed to lead to the underworld. The largest pueblos had five stories and more than 800 rooms.
The Anasazi family was matrilinear (母系遺傳). The holy objects of the family were under the control of the oldest female, but the actual ceremonies were conducted by her brother, or son. Women owned the rooms in the pueblo and the crops, once they were harvested. While still growing, crops belonged to the men, who, in contrast to most other Native American groups, planted them. The women made baskets and pottery; the men made cloth and jewelry.
Each village had two chiefs. The village chief dealt with land disputes (爭議) and religious affairs. The war chief led the men in fighting during occasional conflicts that broke out with neighboring villages and directed the men in community building projects. The solid political and social organization of the Anasazi made it almost impossible for other groups to conquer them.
32. What do we know about the Anasazi people?
A. They were good at growing crops. B. They were immigrants from Spain.
C. They stored their crops in caves. D. They had battles against the Spanish.
33. What does the underlined word "they"(Paragraph 3) refer to?
A. Women. B. Pueblos. C. Rooms. D. Crops.
34. What can be concluded from the text?
A. The Anasazi benefited from trade with the Spanish.
B. The division of labor in Anasazi society was clear.
C. The Spanish caused harm to Anasazi society.
D. Constant conflicts existed in Anasazi society.
35. What can best describe the Anasazi?
A. Aggressive. B. Honesty. C. United. D. Selfish.
