阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项

A

You may think that an underground town of 3,500 people is something out of a science-fiction film. You may not believe that such a town has shops car parks, hotels, restaurants, cafes and much more. Well, Coober Pedy in Australia is just such a place.

Miners and their families choose to live like this, hoping to get rich looking for the precious stones that Australia is famous for --- opals(蛋白石). Living underground is the only way to be away from the sandstorms and the high temperatures above ground. Deep down in the town far below the desert surface, the temperature is between 19℃ and 20℃ and life is cool.

Mary Deane and her husband Jim are among the lucky ones. They live in a home, built with money from the opals Jim has found. "Whenever people hear we live underground, they always imagine a dusty cave," says Mary, "but they are amazed at my clean kitchen, our furniture and electrical appliances in here."

However, not everything is perfect in Coober Pedy. Mary has a tiny garden that she is very proud of, but the grass is not real. Plant life is rare. Water is five times more expensive underground than it is overground. Recycling is a way of life, so Jim usually washes his car with bath water and they have a special system to reuse the water from the dishwasher and washing machine.

Even so, most families enjoy life in Coober Pedy. The children can make as much noise as they want and there are no complaints from the neighbors because the thick walls stop sounds from traveling. Adults enjoy the peace and quiet away from the world above.

A. because of their secret identities          B. because it is warmer underground

A. Comfortable.    B. Exciting.    C. Healthy.    D. Lonely.

23. Which is the biggest problem people in Coober Pedy have to face?

A. High living expenses.                 B. The awfully dusty environment.

C. Shortage of water and greenery.          D. The extremely high temperatures

24. Children enjoy the life in Coober Pedy mainly because they _____.

Florida is celebrating a big anniversary this year. Five hundred years ago, on April 2, 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce arrived on the east coast of what is now Florida. Native Americans had been living there for centuries, but Ponce was the first European to set foot in what would become the  United States.

According to legend, Ponce may have landed in Florida by mistake. He is said to have been looking for an island called Bimini and its Fountain(喷泉) of Youth. The magical fountain could supposedly make old people young again. Instead, Ponce landed on Florida and claimed it for Spain. He named it La Florida, or "flowery place".

Ponce explored more of Florida’s coasts over the next few m onths. He later returned to Spain but went back to Florida in 1521 to attempt to se t up a colony. However, native Americans attacked him and his friends, and Ponce was killed. It wasn’t until 1565 that Spain set up a successful colony at St. Augustine  on Florida’s east coast. It is the oldest European settlement in the U.S.

Florida didn’t belong to the U.S. until Spain lost control. It was admitted to the U.S. as the 27th state in 1845.

Today, Florida has one of the fastest-growing populations of any state. More than 19 million people call it home .

It’s also popular with tourists. Last year, 89 million people visited the Sunshine State. These days, most visitors come in search of fun in the sun on its sandy beaches and its theme parks, such as Disney World and Sea World.

28. Five hundred years ago,_____.

D. He could make old people young again.

30. Ponce was killed_____.

A. by his friends                  B. on his way to Florida

C. during his second stay in Florida   D. after he set up a colony

31. Which of the following is TRUE about Florida?

For most kids, height isn’t something they can change, so what do you do if you don’t like how tall or short you are? It might be girls feeling too tall and boys feeling too short but some really tall boys might not like all that height and some shorter girls might get tired of all the jokes or of feeling like they’re staying little while their friends are growing up.

If you are still worried about your height, talk to your parents and your doctor. Most kids don’t have a growth problem that needs help from a doctor, but it’s always OK to ask if you’re concerned.

So for most kids, it seems like there’s not much to do but wait to se e how it all turns out. But you can do something right now: eat healthy and take care of yourself. If you get the nutrition(营养), sleep, and exercise you need, you’re likely to reach your maximum height. In other words, you’ll grow as tall as you were meant to grow.

And even though you may hear people say it, taking extra vitamins or supplements(补品) that you can buy in a store won’t help you get taller. Just stick to a healthy diet if you want to be the tallest you can be!

Kids who wish they weren’t so tall should still eat healthy and take care of themselves, of course. Eating less won’t make you end up any shorter unless you really starved yourself and made yourself sick.

As they get older, most kids learn to feel comfortable with their height, whether they turn out tall, short, or somewhere in between.

32. What is this text mainly about?

A. Some tips on how to grow taller. B. Some advice on height worries.

C. Some problems kids are facing.    D. Some factors that affect height.

33. If you want to grow taller, you are advised to do the following except _____.

A. get enough sleep                 B. take some exercise

C. take extra vitamins               D. get enough nutrition

34. We’ll feel comfortable with our height _____.

A. after we tell the parents           B. after we see the doctor

C. when we grow taller              D. when we get older

35. Who does this text written for?

A. Kids.       B. Parents.       C. Doctors.       D. Teachers

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say – problem, I don’t want you in my life.

36    Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children – the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.

But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to so lve your problems.

Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help.      37       Talking helps you move on and let go.

Write your problems.      38       When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.

Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lo se in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith.    39

Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours.    40    Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.

Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.
