Sarah ran in, shouting, “Look what I found!”  Over the top of the paper I was reading; came a terrible thing that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin found in our garden.
“Isn’t it beautiful?” said my seven-year-old daughter.
I opened my eyes widely and looked at the snake skin in fear. I didn’t think it was beautiful, but I learned never to appear nonchalant(冷漠的)with children. Everything they see for the first time is important to their sense of beauty; they see only excellence in the world.
“Why does it do this?”  Sarah asked.
“Snakes shed(蜕) their skins because they need to renew themselves,”  I explained.
“Why do they need to renew themselves?” Sarah asked.
“We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my daughter. “We leave some things and find other thing unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too little for him, and he probably doesn’t think he looks as smart in it as he once did. “
As we talked, I knew that she began to understand. Although she couldn’t understand clearly, she would know that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and spirit, and see what we need to keep and what we need to leave.  I was careful to tell that this is a natural way, not one to be forced.
“Snakes don’t peel off their skins when they like them. “I explained. “It happens as a natural thing of their growth. “
“I see, Dad,” said Sarah as she held the snake skin, and then ran off.
I hoped she would remember this; we need to throw some away because they are worthless or unnecessary. Then we can store them as memories m our deep hearts.

试题分析：短文大意：一天Sarah拿来从花园里捡来的蛇皮，我吓了一跳但随即想到不能对孩子们表现出冷漠，在他们眼里世界是美丽的。于是我给她解释了蛇为什么会蜕皮。就像我们会把不需要的东西扔掉一样，蛇蜕皮是一种成长过程中自然现象。我们也要时时审察自身，看看哪些东西需要保留哪些可以丢弃。我希望女儿能够记住：我们可以把没有价值的没必要的东西丢弃，放在内心深处作为记忆。
小题1:细节理解题。题干问爸爸看到蛇皮跳起来是因为什么。根据题干定位到第一段，读到第三段首句I opened my eyes widely and looked at the snake skin in fear.可得知爸爸害怕这个蛇皮，所以答案选B.
小题2:细节理解题。问爸爸的耐心解释说明了什么。文章从第四段女儿提问开始是与题干patient  explanation相关的部分，后文都是爸爸具体的解释，只有第三段尾句说明了爸爸为什么要这么耐心地对女儿解释这件事，即原文they see only excellence in the world，即选项B。而通过文中的As we talked, I knew that she began to understand.可判断AC选项均错误。D选项中的everything范围过广，爸爸只是就蛇蜕皮一事进行解释并与生活联系讲述了一些道理，并非想告诉孩子所有的事。所以选B.
小题3:词义猜测题。问renew的意思，文中女儿提出问题 Why do they need to renew themselves? 爸爸解释是因为This snake no longer needs this skin.蛇不再需要它了，即蛇皮是old things，不再需要了，第八段中进一步进行解释时提到renewal is part of progress，更新是进步的一部分，且renew是本文升华后的主旨，在最后一段中也提到we need to throw some away because they are worthless or unnecessary，我们要舍弃没价值的东西和不需要的东西，即用新的东西替代旧的，C选项即此意，故选C.
小题4:细节理解题。从文中可得知什么。 A.女儿似乎懂得了爸爸所说的，回到原文的As we talked, I knew that she began to understand.可知该项正确。B.女儿对爸爸的解释不感兴趣，同样定位到女儿understand理解了，并说“I see, Dad”我明白了，可以得知女儿是认真听了爸爸的解释才能理解。C. 爸爸擅长养蛇。回到文章第一段最后一句话It was a snake skin found in out garden.得知蛇是女儿在花园里捡的，且文章没有提到爸爸养蛇，所以不正确。D. 爸爸更喜欢这个蛇皮。与文中说爸爸害怕蛇冲突，不正确。所以选A.
小题5:标题归纳题。此文的文章标题需读懂文章主题升华的内容，文章通过爸爸解释蛇为什么蜕皮而引申到了人也需要做同样的事，这是成长的一个过程。原文提到我们应该see what we need to keep and what we need to leave.以及we need to throw some away because they are worthless or unnecessary，我们要审视哪些需要保留哪些需要舍弃，要舍弃那些没有价值的和不需要的东西，即renew ourselves，更新我们自己，因此，答案选B.

She weighed 100 kilos, and she was getting heavier every month, so she went to see her doctor.The doctor said, ‘‘You need a diet（节食）, Miss Green, and I’ve got a good one here.” He gave her a small book and said, ‘Read this carefully and eat the things listed on page 11 every day.

This morning, I got a funny feeling. Today I had to give a report in my        , and I had been afraid to do so for a long time.
Mom came into the kitchen, asking , “Are you ready,         ?”
“ Yes.” I answered quietly.         in fact I wasn’t ready!
On my way          school, I could feel my heart beating. I hated this!
I went into Mrs. Owens’ class. She was smiling, and saying        to all her students as she did every morning.
“ Hi, Sam,” she said to me as I walked         the classroom.
“ Hi,” I said and quickly sat in my        . I looked at the clock. The time was near. Then Mrs. Owens started, “ Sam, it’s time for you to show yourself.” “Show         ? Oh, no!”
I got up slowly,          the ground as I walked to the front of the class. Then, I looked up, and everyone was looking at me. Mrs. Owens knew I was         , so she came beside me, and put her hand on my back.
She said to the class, “Sam has worked very hard on his         ,and I know it is a very interesting report.” Then she turned to me and asked, “Sam,          did you like best about your report on Hawaii?”
I thought about the fun things I         about surfing before, and I started to talk. I talked and talked        the whole class, and I was not nervous at all. It was great fun. It wasn’t frightening. The class cheered as I finished and Mrs. Owens was         .
In fact, I can do better than I think I can— if I try! I am proud of myself.

Mr. Green owned a few shops and was busy with his work. Once his wife had a fall and broke her leg. She was sent to the hospital and needed someone to look after her. They had several servants, but none of them could do the job. One of his friends brought a girl to Mr. Green. She looked beautiful and strong. Mr. Green liked her at the first sight, and wanted to hire (聘用) her.
When the girl went out of the room, the friend said, “I hear she’s a little foolish. You’d better ask her some questions. If she answers them well, you can hire her.”
Mr. Green agreed and called the girl in again. He asked, “What would you be a servant for?”
“My mother is often ill,” the girl said, crying, “I have to stop studying and find work. I want to get some money to buy some medicine for her.”
“Where’s your father, then?”
“He died last year.” answered the girl.
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that,” said Mr. Green, “And how did he die?”
“He went to London on business and had a high fever. The doctor couldn’t save him and he died in the capital.”
“How many times had your father been to London?”
“Three times.”
Mr. Green was happy. He thought that the girl was not foolish at all, but he wanted to have a last try. So he asked, “Which of the three times did your father die in London?”

When I was sixteen, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand French. I believed that I wouldn’t have any       problems when I went to America. So I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday there.
How          I was! The misunderstanding (误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to call my friend Danny who had been in America for two years and told her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking confused and asked if he could          me.
“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married ? But aren’t you a bit too       ?”
“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me          the phone box is?”
“Oh! I see. ” he said, “there’s a phone downstairs.”
When Danny and I met up, she explained the misunderstanding to me.
“Don’t worry,” she said to me. “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say         . Most of the time British and American people understand each other!
