阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Claudie Dubreuil, a Canadian woman, has built a very special house out of four sea containers (集装箱) that cost only 3,000 euro per container. What she made out of them is absolutely beautiful. And what she managed to make out of four simple sea containers is exceptional! We’d definitely like a home like this, how about you?
As a general contractor (总承包人), Canadian Claudie Dubreuil makes a nice living out of building apartments and traditional wood houses. Unfortunately, building these types of houses didn’t provide her with enough of a creative challenge. So, when it came to designing and building her own house, she didn’t choose the familiar option. Instead, she picked a very special and creative approach to her new home.
Claudie decided to design a home based on metal sea containers. With this decision, she didn’t choose the easiest route. In fact, she met with a lot of obstacles during building her house. For example, it was very difficult to find an engineer who had the resources and abilities to cut through the sea containers and to install doors and windows in them. She was turned down by four different engineers before finding one that was willing to work with her. Luckily, she did find someone who dared to take on the project in the end. And the result is amazing! Her home turned out absolutely beautiful and it’s eco-friendly as well.
We love what Claudie did with her home! It looks so modern that you can hardly recognise the sea containers, though she left some special pieces of wall the way they were.
21.How much does the special house cost at least?
A.3,000 euro. B.12,000 euro. C.6,000 euro. D.9,000 euro. 22.Why did Claudie decide to design a sea-container house?
A.She was on a tight budget. B.She was skilled at it.
C.She wanted a special and creative house. D.She couldn’t find other building materials.
23.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “obstacles” in paragraph 3?
A.difficulties B.differences C.pleasure D.puzzlement
B
A dog found swimming more than 220 kilometers off the coast of Thailand has been returned safely to land.
Late last week, workers on an oil rig (石油钻塔) noticed the animal, all alone in the water. He began swimming toward the side of the structure. The dog was able to get himself onto a solid area.
He appeared cold, tired and fearful. The workers lowered a rope and secured it around the dog. Then, they worked together to pull the animal up to safety.
最新Word
The crew that found the dog quickly gave their new friend a name: Boonrod. The name means something similar to “survivor” in the Thai language.
One of those workers was Vitisak Payalaw. He has been providing updates on Boonrod on his Facebook page. He said it was lucky that the crew noticed the dog in the water. If there had been waves, he said, the animal likely would not have been seen.
No one knows how Boonrod ended up all alone at sea, or how long he had been out there. But Vitisak and others suggested the animal might have fallen off a fishing boat.
On Monday, Boonrod arrived on dry land. A team of animal doctors were waiting for him in the southern Thai province of Songkhla. Workers at the Songkhla port also welcomed the dog with a special “welcome” necklace made of yellow flowers. Many people took pictures with Boonrod.
Vitisak wrote on Facebook, “Today (April 15), Boonrod’s overall condition has improved. He is getting stronger.”
The dog is now in the care of an animal doctor in Songkhla. The animal protection group Watchdog Thailand said,“He is in good condition and getting stronger.” On Tuesday, the group published pictures of Boonrod getting washed—and getting plenty of love and attention.
Vitisak says that if no one claims Boonrod as their pet, he will take him to his home in northeast Thailand.
24.What was the dog like when he was found?
A.He was cold, tired and fearful. B.He was already in a safe place. C.He was hopeful but lonely. D.He was in good state. 25.What can we learn about the dog from the text?
A.He is homeless again.
B.His original name is “Boonrod”. C.He has been taken home by Vitisak.
D.He was rescued by the workers on an oil rig. 26.How is the dog at present?
A.He is found by his owner. B.He is getting much care. C.He is badly injured. D.He is treated badly.

Statistics show that most toddlers (刚学走路的小孩) learn how to say about 20 words by 18 months. Talking is easy. If you ask anyone, none will remember how they started doing it, it just comes naturally.
But what might not flow as smoothly as words, is body language. It’s a whole different deal when you’re using your hands, eyes or head instead of your tongue. And what makes it misunderstood is the fact that body language differs all around the world because of different cultures.
I find it shockingly amazing how just a small finger gesture could mean one thing in the east and the completely opposite in the west. For instance, in Japan bowing is the most common greeting. It shows respect and Japanese pay a lot of attention to the details like the timing, posture and movement. A bow in Japan represents sincerity, respect and graciousness. While in New Zealand Maori, the pressing of noses and foreheads is the traditional greeting. They call it “hongi”, which is regarded as the breath of life.
最新Word
For most of us, nodding our head up and down often means agreement, but not for the Bulgarians or Greeks. In both cultures, nodding one’s head up and down actually means “no”. The American goodbye wave could actually be interpreted (领会) as a “no” in many parts of Europe and Latin America. And the Italian goodbye wave would be understood in America as a “come here” and the American “come here” gesture would actually be seen as an insult (侮辱) in most of Asia.
So before you travel to explore a different culture, make sure you’re aware of alternate meanings for body language. We live in a world with many different cultures, so don’t forget how differently one hand gesture can be interpreted! 27.What makes body language misunderstood often?
A.Its difficulties in understanding. B.Its smooth flowing. C.Different cultures. D.Its wide uses.
28.What does the pressing of noses and foreheads mean in New Zealand?
A.Respect. B.Greeting. C.Tradition. D.Breath. 29.In which country does nodding mean “no”?
A.Greece. B.America. C.New Zealand. D.Japan. 30.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Origin of Body Language
B.The Difference of Culture Around the World C.The Limitation of Culture
D.Body Language Around the World
