In the early 1900s, Carol Ryrie Brink lived with her grandmother Caddie on a tiny farm in Idaho. The farm was a great place to live. Besides wonderful tall climbing trees, it had cats and chickens and a horse, which she rode all over the countryside and through the streets of town.

Even so, Carol was sometimes lonely. She would climb to the top of her favorite tree and make up stories to cheer herself up. The favorite part of her day was when Grandmother Caddie would sit with her and tell stories about the adventures (冒险经历) she and her brothers had.

Carol loved the stories so much that when she grew up, she decided to write a book about them. Thousands of children throughout the world have read and loved Caddie Woodlawn. Carol’s book won a special award (奖项) called the Newbery Medal. Each year only one children’s book is chosen to win this award.

Carol said it was her son and daughter who inspired (激励) her to write for children. That wasn’t easy when she was busy taking care of a family. Sometimes an idea would come to her while she was washing the supper dishes. She would make a quick note and come back to write it out more fully after her children were asleep.

Carol wrote 27 books in her life, many of which are about her life in Idaho. Besides the Newbery Medal, she won many more awards. Later when another author Mary Reed wrote a book about Carol Ryrie Brink, she summed up (概括) Carol’s life by saying, “She tried to live in a way that would not harm others, to never waste a day, and to make the most of her life.”

21. When she felt lonely on the farm, Carol would _____. A. ride a horse to the town B. ask her grandmother to read her a story C. climb all the tall trees D. make herself happy with her own stories 22. What do we know about Caddie Woodlawn? A. It is an award-winning book. B. It is about Carol’s adventures.

C. It is unpopular among children. D. It is one of Carol’s childhood works. 23. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that Carol _____. A. once gave up writing because of the heavy housework

B. had a hard time in the early days of her writing C. didn’t get any understanding from her family

D. didn’t earn much from her writing 24. Mary Reed’s words suggest _____.

A. she thinks highly of Carol B. we should be friendly to others

C. she considers Carol a great mother

D. we should make full use of our time B

When one thinks of an army, one is likely to think of soldiers and guns. Two thousand years ago, when Rome set out to conquer the world, the army needed much more than soldiers and guns. It needed food. At that time, providing enough, fresh food to the soldiers was a serious business. Soldiers that were not fed would desert. How did the Romans keep their soldiers from leaving the army? How did they provide their soldiers with enough food? The Romans traveled with large groups of cattle (牲口), or “food on the hoof.” The cattle provided fresh meat, milk, butter, and cheese. Large European herding dogs (畜牧犬), called mastiffs, were used to help drive the cattle. The Romans conquered the town of Rottweil in A.D. 74. Some of the Romans remained in Rottweil with their mastiffs after the army left. Farmers there started breeding (对……人工交配) their own herding dogs with the mastiffs. They developed a smaller, quicker dog than the mastiff, which was equally good at guarding and herding. Today, this breed of dog is known as the Rottweiler. Over the centuries, farmers used Rottweilers when they drove their cattle to town to sell. On the way into town, the dogs helped herd and control the cattle. On the return trip home, the dogs helped guard money.

Over time, Rottweilers became known as the butcher (屠夫) dogs of Rottweil. This was because many butchers in Rottweil began to raise the dogs. The butchers used the dogs to help drive the cattle they had bought in the countryside back to their

stores. They used the dogs to guard their stores and money. They even used the dogs to help carry meat that was for sale. 25. The underlined word “desert” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.

A. fail B. return

C. give in D. run away 26. The Romans traveled with “food on the hoof ” because they needed to _____.

A. store fresh food B. guard their food C. get enough food D. keep dogs away

27. What do we know about the Rottweiler? A. They were raised by the soldiers.

B. They were left in Rottweil by the farmers. C. They were an older breed than the mastiff. D. They were an improved breed of the mastiff. C

I love listening to music and there’s never been a better time to be a music fan. With so many ways to get music, we can listen to it any way we want, wherever we want. Although some fans still like to use CD players, the most popular way to listen to music nowadays is by either downloading (下载) or streaming (在线试听). As Internet connections got better, more MP3s were downloaded and shared. But the sound quality of these MP3s is not so good when compared to tapes or CDs. However, new generations (代) of music fans have grown used to this cheapened sound quality and don’t mind.

Streaming technology has made it even easier to listen to your favorite music. For a monthly price of about $10 (there are also free services with advertisements), users can listen to an endless amount of music from smartphones, computers and television sets.

Unfortunately, streaming is not without its downsides. Because all of the music is provided online, a strong Internet connection is necessary. And although it may seem like the Internet is available everywhere, there may be situations where you

don’t get connected. Agreements with music companies and artists also need to be reached before streaming services are allowed to host their music. Whether you choose to download or stream music, the artist does not make much money. The low payment from downloading and streaming music has also led to the continuing increase in concert ticket prices. And we can only expect these prices to increase greatly in the future. Much as I would like to have all my music for free, I realize that it will kill the industry I’ve enjoyed for most of my life. I can’t say for certain which is better —

downloading or streaming —

but I do know how I can do my little part to help musicians continue making great music. Rather than focus on (关注) one or the other, I’m going to continue doing what I’ve been doing since I first discovered music: listen to it any way I can. 28. What are new groups of music fans’ attitudes towards MP3s?

A. They don’t care how they get them.

B. They refuse to get them online. C. They show no interest in them. D. They are satisfied with them. 29. One of the disadvantages of streaming lies in that _____. A. there is a possibility of disconnection B. there isn’t much choice in the music

C. its music is of very poor quality D. one has to pay for it 30. What will the author probably do in the future? A. Stop downloading or streaming music. B. Listen to music in different ways. C. Help musicians make music. D. Try to choose free music. D

Sam Herbert, 15, saved the life of a 55-year-old stranger even though he himself was born with a poor condition.

36 He has had many operations on his heart since he was a baby and it has reduced (减少) his strength as a result. The Derby schoolboy says, “I was walking down the street one evening in May when a man in front of me fell over. 37 “I put him in the right position, but his condition was starting to become worse and he stopped breathing. So I started CPR (心肺复苏法). Because of my condition, I was worried I wouldn’t have the strength to do it for very long. 38 He was breathing again before the ambulance (救护车) arrived.

“When the doctors arrived, they said I’d done the right thing. 39 We do lots of practice on first aid (急救) but I never thought I’d have to use it in real life.”

In the life-or-death situation he was faced with, Sam acted bravely but also very quickly. “I will have to have more operations on my heart in the future. 40

And what about food? For health and safety reasons, schools often require that 46 for these activities should be bought from a store. This 47 a real problem for many families. Biscuits for a class of students, plus drinks and napkins can 48 what it costs a family to eat a meal at home. The 49 of a classroom party is 50 a problem for many people, especially in these difficult times. 51 , we all know that our children have eaten enough sugar and junk food without the school 52 such unhealthy choices.

All the 53 that a party can create is unacceptable! I 54 those birthday parties held at home for my children. I would just buy the disposable (一次性的) plates, cups, and napkins 55
