21. Every day, a homeowner in Pennsylvania is reminded of a mistake he made 13 years ago. At around 8 in the evening, his peaceful house comes alive with the noise of an alarm clock he dropped into the wall over ten years ago. It has been stuck in the wall ever since.
13 years ago, Jerry Lynn wanted to make a hole through his living room wall, so he could pass the television cable (电缆) through it. He didn’t want to destroy any pipes in the wall, so he came up with a good idea to make sure that he was drilling (钻孔) in an empty place. He took his alarm clock, tied it to a string (线) and set it to go off in 10 minutes. Then he lowered it into the wall, and waited for it to ring. His goal was to drill a hole in a safe place— near the place where the ringing was coming from, making sure that there was nothing to pass through there. It all went smoothly until the alarm clock fell into the wall.
The man didn’t get back the alarm clock, but thought it would probably run out of battery (电池) in several months, so he wasn’t too worried about it. But 13 years later, the alarm clock still rings every day.
As you can imagine, Jerry and his wife have gotten used to the ringing living room wall, but it can still surprise guests. So Jerry decides to pull down that wall, just to stop that boring thing, though after putting up with it for 13 years, he thinks it will be a pity. He says, “I have never heard of a clock battery lasting that long and my friends think it may be interesting to see how long it will keep ringing for.”
24. What mistake did Jerry make?
A. He forgot setting his alarm clock.
B. He drilled a hole in an empty place.
C. He broke an alarm clock 13 years ago.
D. He let an alarm clock stuck in the wall.
25. Why did Jerry put a clock into the wall?
A. To remind him to get up early.
B. To find a safe place to make a hole.
C. To work out how long he would drill.
D. To make his work easy and enjoyable.
26. What does the author mean by “go off” in Paragraph 2?
A. Ring. B. Stop. C. Calm down. D. Come out.
27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The clock will be left there as it is.
B. Jerry’s guests are afraid of the clock.
C. Jerry will pull down the wall to get the clock.
D. The clock will keep ringing for another 13 years.

22. Imagine a relay race. During this race, an athlete holds a stick as he runs a certain distance. Then he passes the stick to the next runner. That person runs faster, and then passes the stick to a third runner. Now imagine that the runners do not pass a stick. Instead they pass shiny silk, as well as gold, fruit, and glass. Imagine that the race does not move forward in just one direction. Instead the runners go back and forth along a road. They trade goods all along this route (路线) and at each end of it. Now imagine that the runners are businessmen. They lead caravans (商队) or lines of camels that carry things to sell. They travel on the ancient Silk Road to earn their living.
The Silk Road was a complex trade network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It stretched from eastern China, across central Asia and the Middle east, to the Mediterranean Sea. Businessmen traveled on the Silk Road from about 200 B.C. to about 1300 A.D.. Then sea travel began to offer new routes. Some people called the Silk Road the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road included many routes--not just one smooth path. The routes ran through mountains and across deserts. They passed through an area that now includes 18 countries. The Silk Road had many dangers. These dangers ranged from hot sun and deep snow to thieves and wars. Only expert traders could survive.
The Silk Road got its name from its most prized goods. People used silk as money. They could pay taxes or buy goods with it. Traders carried more than just silk, though. They had gold, silver, and glass from Europe. People in the Middle East and Asia wanted these things. Businessmen also took horses from flat, grassy areas in central Asia and brought them to China and other areas. The horses changed the way people farmed and ran their armies. Indian businessmen traded salt and rare, beautiful stones. Chinese merchants traded medicine and china. They also traded paper, which quickly replaced animal skins in the west. Businessmen carried apples from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to combine different trees to create new kinds of fruit. They taught this science to others, such as the Romans. The Romans began to grow apples for food. The Silk Road led to worldwide commerce 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.
The people along the Silk Road did not share only goods. They also shared beliefs. Monks, priests, and other faith leaders taught their religions to others. The Silk Road created pathways for knowledge, diplomacy, and religion.
34. People turned to the sea for new routes after around 1300 A.D.because ________.
A. the Silk Road included many routes
B. the Silk Road passed through many areas
C. people traveled on the Silk Road for too long
D. there were more dangers along the Silk Road
35. Which of the following is closest to the meaning of the word prized in paragraph 3?
A. appropriate    B. preserved
C. valuable    D. useful
36. Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A. The Silk Road helped spread religions to more people.
B. The Silk Road gave people the idea to build highways.
C. Some people probably died while travelling.
D. Westerners probably used to write on animal skins.
37. In which column of a newspaper can we most probably read the article?
A. Science.    B. Travel.
C. Sports.    D. Culture.
参考答案：
34. D    35. C    36. B    37. D
