Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.
The large river best known to the ancient Greeks was the Nile of Egypt. They spoke of
the river with admiration and called Egypt "the gift of the Nile". The reason for this was,
first, that the Nile brought water to a rainless desert and, second, that once a year, the river
overflowed its banks, leaving, as the water back, a new layer of fertile soil.
The flood waters carry in them soil (called silt) from the upper parts of the river valley
to the lower parts, and so to the sea. But as the river meets the sea, the sea acts asa barrier
and forces the river to drop the silt it is carrying.
There are no tides in the Mediterranean to carry the silt away, so year after year it
collects at the mouth of the Nile, and the river must find its way around islands of the always
more distant Mediterranean. In this way, a vast area of fertile soil has been built up at the
mouth of the Nile and out into the sea. The river water splits up to form small branches
winding across the area. To the ancient Greeks, the mouth of the Nile looked like the
drawing.
Now we sometimes name things after the letters of the alphabet they resemble (像,类
似)= a U--turn, anI--beam, aT--square, anS--bead, and so on. The Greeks did the
same. The triangular area of land built up at the mouth of the Nile looked like the fourth
letter of the Greek alphabet Delta and so this was the name they gave it. The word is now
used for all areas of land formed at the mouth of rivers which flow into tideless seas, even
when they are not triangular in shape. The Mississippi Delta, for example, is not shaped at
all like the Greek delta, as you will see if you look at a map.
21. Egypt was called
A. the gift of the Nile B. the gift of the desert
C. the gift of the fertile soil D. the gift of the Greeks
22. The silt left on the mouth of the sea was carried there from
A. the sea B. the barrier
C. the upper parts of the river D. the river
23. Which of the following is true?
A. The ancient Greeks named the land at the mouth of the river after the fourth
letter of their alphabet.
B. Egyptians made this area rich.
C. The Greeks made this area rich.
D. The Greeks gave this land to the Egyptians as a gift.
24. The main idea of this passage is
A. why the Greeks liked the Nile very much
B. how the Nile Delta formed
C. the history of the Nile
D. the well-known Delta
25. The most suitable title for this passage is
A. "The Gift of the Nile" B. "The Fertile Soil"
C. "The Nile River" D. "The Delta"
Questions 26430 are based on the following passage.
With his dedicated fans, Julio Iglesias has become a worldwide musical phenomenon -- a
multinational force having earned more than 1,500 gold and platinum awards and selling more than 220 million albums in numerous languages to music lovers on every continent on earth.
More than any other contemporary musical figure, the tirelessly touring Julio Iglesias
has established himself as a true citizen of the world and a most highly-treasured one.

Growing up, Iglesias had plans to perform in a different arena -- as a soccer player. An
aspiring athlete, the young Spaniard was goalkeeper for the world famous Real Madrid team
when a tragic car accident left him near death and paralyzed at nineteen. For three years he
underwent the difficult process of recuperation. Fortunately, a physician's assistant in the
hospital gave Iglesias a guitar to help lift his spirits. He started to write songs, and after
recovering, he studied law before dedicating himself to music full-time.
During the Seventies, Julio Iglesias established himself as an international superstar.
Before he even arrived on the American music scene with 1984's multi-platinum "1100 Bel
Air Place" album, Iglesias had already earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records
for selling more albums in more different languages than any other artist in history. Since

artist.
