It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.
Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill(濺出) the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap(舔) up the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hand.
I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.
【小題1】What can be learned from Paragraph 1?

A．The writer lived in the hottest place.
B．It wouldn’t rain during the dry season.
C．All the crops in the area were dead.
D．People were in great need of rain.
【小題2】Billy walked carefully to the woods because ______.
A．he was not old enough to walk freely
B．he didn’t want to be followed by his mother
C．he tried not to spill the water in his hands
D．he wanted to attract his mother’s attention
【小題3】Why did the writer almost scream for Billy to get away?
A．Because she saw the most amazing site in the woods
B．Because those large deer appeared dangerous
C．Because she saw a baby deer laying on the ground
D．Because the deer suffered from heavy loss of water
【小題4】After learning about the truth, the author felt _______.
A．curious and confusedB．scared and excited
C．moved and curiousD．proud and moved
【小題5】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．The Water of LifeB．Importance of Water
C．How to Save AnimalsD．Animals in Danger

下面文章中有5處（第61-65題）需要添加小標題。請從以下選項（A、B、C、D、E和F）中選出符合各段意思的小標題，選項中有一項是多余選項。

A．Structure of a hurricane

B．Preparing for a Hurricane

C. How Hurricanes Move

D. How Hurricanes start

E. Hurricane Names

F. Hurricane Damage

Hurricanes

Hurricanes are gigantic tropical storms that can be hundreds of kilometers wide. They bring along very strong winds and a lot of rainfall. They often cause flooding near the coasts and sea levels rise.

1. __________________________

Hurricanes are born over tropical oceans, usually during late summer and early autumn. They need two things to get them started: heat and moist air. During the summer the ocean surface heats up and warm moist air starts to rise. Cool air sinks down to replace it. This creates an area of low pressure. The rotation of the earth creates winds around the center of such a low-pressure area. In the northern hemisphere the air moves counter clockwise, in the southern part clockwise. Such a system is called a cyclone. When warm air rises, it cools and creates clouds. Soon, thunderstorms form and it starts to rain.

All hurricanes begin as cyclones but not all cyclones become storms or hurricanes. Some die out a few days after they start. They don’t have enough energy to become a hurricane. When winds are stronger than 119 km an hour a storm officially becomes a hurricane.

2. __________________________

The center of a hurricane is called the eye, a calm area with little rainfall. It is about 30 to 50 km wide. Inside the eye the sea can rise up to one meter because the air moves up. The eye wall is around the eye. This is an area of thunderstorms, rain and the strongest winds—up to 300 km an hour. Then come long bands of rain clouds that are curved towards the center of the hurricane.

3. __________________________

In the northern hemisphere hurricanes normally move in a westward direction and then they turn north and northeast. Their path takes them away from the warm tropical water of the equator. When hurricanes move over colder water or over land they lose a lot of their energy. They slow down and as time goes on, they disappear. In the southern hemisphere their path leads them to the south and southeast.

4. __________________________

When a tropical storm forms over the Caribbean Sea it gets a name. Every year the first storm of the season is given a name that starts with the letter A, the second storm gets a name starting with B and so on. Years ago only women’ s names were used for tropical storms. Today male and female names alternate –for example, the first storm is named Alexandra, the second one Billy, then Catherine etc. Each year new names are used so that you can connect a storm to a certain year.

5. __________________________

Hurricanes are causing more and more damage throughout the Gulf Region, mainly because the population is constantly growing. Many things can be done to protect yourself and your property during a hurricane: Keep emergency supplies of food and water; keep a battery-powered radio ready in case the power goes out. Listen to the instructions you get; keep the gas tank of your car full, in case you have to leave quickly; protect your house by nailing plywood over the windows and doors. Tie down loose objects; find out which roads are best to take you away from the storm; leave your house as soon as you are ordered to evacuate, etc.

Spring is a wonderful season to celebrate rebirth and new life. The long, cold winter is over. The weather is warmer and sunnier. The trees again have leaves and the flowers are blooming. The season represents hope, joy and beauty. At this time, many people think of this classical music piece — Spring, which shows happiness. Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi wrote it in the seventeen hundred.

However, not all songs about spring are happy. This song written and sung by K.D. Lang is about dreaming of spring in cold dark places. She recorded I Dream of Spring in 2008.

Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein wrote It Might as Well Be Spring for the movie State Fair in 1945. Frank Sinatra sings it. It is a feeling of restlessness or excitement brought on by the coming of spring. Richard Rodgers also wrote Spring Is Here, this time with Lorenz Hart. Ella Fitzgerald sings this song about feeling lonely during this season.

Frank Loesser wrote the sad song, Spring Will be a Little Late This Year. Why has the season been delayed? Because the singer’s lover has left her. Sarah Vaughn released(發(fā)行) her version of the song in 1953.

By now you may be thinking, “Enough with the sad songs, already!” Ok, then how about a cowboy song? Gene Autry was one of America’s most famous singing cowboys. He recorded When It’s Springtime in the Rockies in 1937.

And finally, we’ll leave you with a sunny song called Up Jumped Spring. Freddie Hubbard wrote this jazz song in 1977 and Billy Taylor Trio performs it.

1. If you are in a bad mood, you’d better listen to _____.

A．Up Jumped Spring

B．I Dream of Spring

C．Spring Is Here

D．Spring Will be a Little Late This Year

2. It Might as Well Be Spring is a song that ______.

A．is also called State Fair

B．is sung by Ella Fitzgerald

C．has a lonely feeling

D．was written by two people

3. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Most songs about spring are written by Italian composers.

B. K.D. Lang was good at writing happy songs.

C. Sarah Vaughn sang the song Up Jumped Spring first.

D. Gene Autry was a famous cowboy singer before K.D. Lang.

4. Which of the following songs was first written or recorded?

A．Spring.

B．I Dream of Spring.

C．When It’s Springtime in the Rockies.

D．Spring Will be a Little Late This Year.

5. What’s the purpose of the author to write the passage?

A．Introduce some songs about spring.

B．Introduce some wonderful music.

C．Introduce some famous singers.

D．Express his/ her love to spring.
