Last Tuesday I took two daughters, aged five and seven, to town by car. It began to rain 36 , so I decided I would leave the children in the car 37 I rushed into a shop. I warned the girls not to  38  anything and told them I would be back within a few minutes. Then I locked all the doors and left  39  happily out of the window.
I returned to the car in less than five minutes but the girls had  40 ! I could hardly believe my eyes. The car doors were  41  locked, the windows tightly shut and on the back seat were only two coats. Being   42  , I ran to the corner of the street  43 there was no sign of them. I rushed up to an old lady nearby and asked  44 _she had seen two small girls but she said “No”.
Feeling quite sick with fear, I sat on the driver’s seat, and went to stop trembling (發(fā)抖). Suddenly, I heard a merry laugh  45  me. I got out of the car, ran round to open the boot (車尾行李箱) and inside were two very red-faced and 46  children. They had obviously pulled out the back seat, climbed behind it and then been unable to push the seat forward again.  47  tears in my eyes, I leaned forward and pulled their ears.

When I was about five years old, I used to watch a bird in the skies of southern Alberta from the Blackfoot Blood Reserve in northern Montana where I was born．I loved this bird; I would    36 him for hours．He would    37  effortlessly in that gigantic sky, or he would come down and light on the   38 and float there beautifully．Sometimes when I watched him, he would not make a sound and liked to move   39  into the grasses．We called him meksikatsi, which in the Blackfoot language   40  “pink-colored feet”; meksikatsi and I became very good friends．
The bird had a very particular significance to me   41  I desperately wanted to be able to fly too．I felt very much as if I was the kind of person who had been born into a world where    42  was impossible．And most of the things that I    43   about would not be possible for me but would be possible only for other people．

A teacher of the English language told me that meksikatsi was not called meksikatsi, even though that is what   48 people have called that bird for thousands of years．Meksikatsi, he said, was really “duck”．I was very  49 with English．I could not understand it．First of all, the bird did not look like “duck”, and when it made a    50  , it did not sound like “duck”, I was even more   51  when I found out that the meaning of the verb “to duck” came from the bird．
As I   52 to understand English better, I understand that it made a great deal of    53   , but I never forgot that meksikatsi made a different kind of meaning．I   54  that languages are not just different words for the same things but totally different    55  , totally different ways of experiencing and looking at the world．

“As sure as you’re alive now, Peter Rabbit, some day I will catch you,” shouted Reddy Fox, as he put his black nose in the hole between the roots of the Big Hickory-tree which grows close to the Smiling Pool. “It is lucky for you that you were not one jump farther away from this hole.”
Peter, safe inside that hole, didn’t have a word to say, or, if he did, he didn’t have breath enough to say it. It was quite true that if he had been one jump farther from that hole, Reddy Fox would have caught him. As it was, the hairs on Peter’s funny white tail actually had tickled Reddy’s back as Peter ran wildly through the root-bound entrance to that hole. It had been the narrowest escape Peter had had for a long, long time. You see, Reddy Fox had surprised Peter eating sweet clover（苜蓿）on the bank of the Smiling Pond, and it had been a lucky thing for Peter that hole, dug long ago by Johnny Chuck’s grandfather, had been right where it was. Also, it was a lucky thing that old Mr. Chuck had been wise enough to make the entrance between the roots of that tree in such a way that it could not be dug any larger.
Reddy Fox was too shrewd（機靈的）to waste any time trying to dig it larger. He knew there wasn’t room enough for him to get between those roots. So, after trying to make Peter as uncomfortable as possible by telling him what he, Reddy, would do to him when he did catch him, Reddy walked across the Green Meadows. Peter remained where he was for a long time. When he was quite sure that it was safe to do so, he crawled out and hurried to the Old Orchard. He felt that that would be the safest place for him, because there were ever so many hiding places in the old stone wall along the edge of it.
小題1: Where is Peter Rabbit hiding?
A．On the bank of a pondB．In a hole
C．In a tall treeD．Behind a room
小題2:Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the story?
A．Reddy Fox might find rabbit hairs on him.
B．Old Mr. Chuck took advantage of the roots to dig the hole.
C．The hole could be made larger.
D．Reddy almost caught Peter this time.
小題3: Why did Peter Rabbit wait so long before leaving?
A．Because Reddy was trying to get him.
B．Because it was cold outside.
C．Because his grandfather would help him dig a large hole.
D．Because the Old Orchard was not so safe as this hole.

Once upon a time a king, in the company of his ministers, went to the imperial garden for a walk. When he was walking around a pond, a strange idea 26 upon him and he asked, “How many buckets(桶) of water are there in the pond?” The ministers looked at each other,  27 to give an answer.
Rather 28 , the king ordered, “You have three days’ grace. Any one who offers an answer will be handsomely awarded. Those who fail will be 29 .”
The time limit was due in the twinkling（閃爍）of an eye, yet the ministers were still at their wit’s end. At this time a child appeared who declared that he knew the answer. The king told his 30 ministers to go with the child for the measurement. To their 31 , the child refused the suggestion with a smile, “It is very easy. No 32 to go to the pond.” This made the king laugh 33 ,  “Alright, let us know what it is.” The child winked (眨眼) and said, “That 34 on the size of the bucket. If it is as big as the pond, there is one bucket of water; if it is half as big, two buckets; if one third as big, three buckets; if...”“Stop! That’s it. You’ve got the 35 .” The king was satisfied and the child was duly rewarded.
Why did the ministers feel it so different to settle the problem? Because they fell in a pitfall (陷阱), following a wrong way of thinking. People’s thinking often goes a habitual way — the beaten track of straightforwardness. 36  is a static (靜態(tài)的) way presupposing every object definite and certain, i.e. the size of the pond and the bucket should be clearly 37 . If one of them is unknown, it will be difficult to do the measurement, let alone 38 . Why not change your mode of thought — from static to dynamic（動態(tài)的）, from concrete to 39  ? If you adopt an indirect way and try to find out the proportional relation between the pond and the bucket, you’ll get an answer — flexible yet 40 to solve the problem.
Sometimes to get out of the difficulty one must change one’s way of thinking, or simply change one’s approach towards a problem.

Ellen and Bill County are both teachers. They met in college and became good friends because of their shared love for children. Two years after the couple got married, Ellen saw a huge change in the life of one of her students, a 9-year-old girl. Three years ago both of the little girl’s parents had died and there was no one to take care of her. She was taken away to live in a government office. But finally she was taken in and adopted by a family and became their daughter. Ellen said that she noticed the difference in the child’s life after she was placed in a permanent home and thought that maybe she and her husband could help a child in a similar way.
They decided to become temporary parents and to take a child into their home on the weekends when the real parents could not take care of him or her. The pair planned to have their own children in a few years, but decided that this would be a way to give to the community in the meantime.
The couple quickly grew to love one of the children they looked after. When he became legally available, Billy became the first child they took in permanently. Six months after adopting Billy, Ellen was told by her doctor that she was unable to have children naturally. Ellen says she knew then that adoption was the way she was meant to have a family.
Since adopting Billy, now 17, Ellen and Bill have adopted five more children --- Rose,16； Albert, 11; Joshua, 5 and in June 2003, they added biological brother and sister Tyler and Rylee to the County family.
The County family has been recognized for their work on adoption, and have received many awards for their efforts. Last June, the family was even interviewed on the television show, “Adoption Stories”.
Ellen says she would like to encourage other families to adopt children. She adds that the best part of being a mother of six is: “Giving Josh a bath, putting a band-aid on a cut knee or just the everyday mom things, that makes motherhood such an honor and a privilege.”
小題1:What is the passage mainly about?
A．How a couple first met at collegeB．Where you can adopt a child
C．The benefits of adoption to the communityD．How adoption created a happy family
小題2:Why did Ellen and Bill first decide to adopt a childe?
A．Because they had always loved children very much
B．Because they saw the benefits of adoption for a child
C．Because they were not able to have children of their own
D．Because they wanted to receive awards for their community work
小題3:Which of the children are related to each other by blood?
A．Rylee and TylerB．Billy and Tyler
C．Albert and JoshuaD．Rose and Albert
小題4:What can be inferred from this passage?
A．Ellen had thought of adopting a child before getting married.
B．Only kids under 16 can be adopted by a family
C．A loving family is important to a child’s happiness
D．Adopting a child always makes the family become famous

Joseph Goldberger was a doctor for the Unite States Public Health Service. In 1912, he began to study a disease that was killing thousands of people in the South. The disease was pellagra(煙酸缺乏病).
Doctor Goldberger traveled to the state of Mississippi where many people had pellagra. He studied the patients and their families. Most of the people were poor. The doctor came to believe that the disease was not passed from one person to another, but instead had something to do with food.
He received agreement from state officials to test this idea at a prison(監(jiān)獄). Prisoners were offered pardons if they took part. One group of prisoners received their usual food, mostly corn. A second group ate meat, fresh vegetables and milk. Members of the first group developed pellagra. The second group did not.
But some experts refused to accept that poor food caused pellagra. They thought there were other causes.
So Doctor Goldberger put blood(血液) from a person with pellagra into his own body. He even took pills that had blood from pellagra patients. An assistant also took part in the experiments. So did Doctor Goldberger’s wife. None of them got sick. Later, the doctor discovered that a bit of dried brewer’s yeast(釀酒的酵母) each day could prevent pellagra.
Joseph Goldberger died of cancer in 1929. He was 55 years old. Several years later, researchers discovered the true cause of pellagra: having little of the vitamin B.
小題1: How old was Doctor Goldberger when he began to study pellagra?
A．22.B．30.C．38.D．55.
小題2:The underlined part “this idea” (in Paragraph 3) refers to          .
A．the guessing that pellagra had something to do with food
B．a(chǎn) kind of yeast that prevented pellagra
C．pellagra that was easily passed from one person to another
D．a(chǎn) poor food that caused pellagra
小題3: Which is the right order about what Doctor Goldberger did?
a. He did a test on prisoners at a prison.
b. He did the experiments on himself.
c. He came to Mississippi to study the patients and their families.
d. He found poor food was easy to cause pellagra.
e. He discovered a little dried brewer’s yeast every day could prevent pellagra.
A．a(chǎn), d, c, e, bB．c, a, d, b, eC．b, e, c, a, dD．c, b, e, a, d
小題4: This passage mainly tells us          .
A．Doctor Goldberger’s life
B．something about pellagra
C．Doctor Goldberger’s work experience
D．Doctor Goldberger’s study on pellagra
