题目内容

【题目】Stamp collecting is easy when you do it as a hobby. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on it. Sometimes stamps can be got from many sources（来源） for free.

Getting Started

If you have no stamps at all, you might want to buy a packet of 500 or 1,000 different worldwide stamps from a hobby shop or stamp dealer to get stared. One good choice is eBay. Try entering phrases like “worldwide stamps” in the searching box. However, even if you want to specialize in collecting stamps, my advice is not to spend much money on stamps in the beginning. Start off collecting stamps from many source for free until you have collected enough stamps and had enough experience.

Sorting Stamps

Assume (假设) you have some stamps and they are in paper. Before you take them from the paper, you should sort the stamps for example, by country. This is because dealing with stamps is much easier when they are on paper. When you take them off the paper, they become easy to bend, crease and tear easily.

Trimming (修剪) Stamps

Never try to take a stamp off its paper backing by pulling at it, even if it appears to be loose enough to do so. First, trim the paper around the stamp with a pair of sharp scissors making sure not to cut off the edge of the stamps. I suggest that you’d better leave a quarter inch safety area from the edge of the stamp when you trim the paper before you are good at doing it.

【1】 This passage is written for people who .

A. have no money to collect stamps

【答案】【1】C

【2】 C

【3】 D

【4】 A

【解析】【1】文章大意题。文章从如何开始集邮，如何把邮票分类，如何修建邮票三方面介绍了集邮，可看出是为集邮入门者写的。

【2】推理判断题。根据第二段的from a hobby shop or stamp dealer to get stared. One good choice is eBay.可知作者提到了A、B、D项的内容，作者并没有提到通过邮局收集邮票。

【3】细节理解题。根据Getting Started中的... my advice is not to spend much money on stamps in the beginning. Start off collecting stamps from many source for free...可知作者建议刚开始搜集邮票的人不要花大把的钱去搜集邮票，而是通过各种免费的途径来搜集邮票积累经验。

【4】细节理解题。根据最后一段的Never try to take a stamp off its paper backing by pulling at it, even if it appears to be loose enough to do so.可知应选A。

【题目】The angels have finally been connected together and the bows have all been carefully fixed across the branches.After three months of hard work, 16-year-old Suzy Jordan’s tree is finally appearing at the yearly Festival of Trees in honor of her best friend, Emily Austin.

“All that’s needed now is a real angel,”says Suzy,”to help 13-year-old Emily recover from a recent bone marrow transplant(骨髓移植)and finally remove the leukemia(白血病)”

“Emily is the strongest person I know.There’s always such brightness about her,”says Suzy,a student ar Orem High School.

Last year,when Emily’s cancer was in remission,she helped Suzy and other students decorate a red-and-white Christmas tree for Primary Children’s Medical Center at the Festival of Trees.

“It was so much fun for her,”says Emily’s mother, Laurie,”she’s seen the inside of the hospital more than a school since she was 5”.

But the good conditions didn’t last long.In August, Suzy learned that her friend’s leukemia returned, becoming worse.And she knew exactly what to do show her support.

“Emily was so excited about helping out with the festival tree last year that I decided to surprise her by giving away a tree of my own,”she says.

Because of being in hospital, Emily won’t be able to see the tree.”But I’m taking pictures to surprise her,”says Suzy.”I want her to know that she’ll always be an angel to me.”

Suzy’s tree has given Emily’s family hope for a miracle(奇迹).”It has given Emily hope that she has a chance to be a normal girl and do all the things other girls do,”says Laurie Austin.

Suzy’s greatest hope is that she’ll be able to give away more trees to the festival, with one big difference.”The best wish of all,”she says,”is that Emily will be there with me, putting on the decoration.”

【题目】Last year,I lived in Chile(智利) for half a year last year. I lived with a Chilean family and had to do the same things as any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn't understand.

Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there,I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets,and there was no downtown(商业区),few good streets,and little to do for fun. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms happened quite often.

I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile,I was not able to communicate and I needed a person to whom I could explain my shock.But I couldn't speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many. Most exchange students experience this like me.And I had to deal with all the difficulties on my own.

However, as time passé, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and started to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not buying expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy in school.

What I lost was nothing compared to what I acquired. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.

【题目】Candy corn is one of the simple pleasures of Halloween. Around since the 1880s, these white, yellow and orange striped candies are made with sugar, corn syrup（糖浆）and other ingredients.

Of course, you can enjoy candy corn by the handful. But we came up with 5 fun ways to celebrate and enjoy this seasonal treat.

Fill your sugar bowl with candy corn. Use spoonfuls of the colorful candies to sweeten your coffee, tea or other hot drinks. The sugary candies will dissolve（溶解）in the hot liquid.

Make ice cream sandwiches perfect for Halloween by decorating the creamy edges with candy corn. Purchase ready-made ice cream sandwiches and roll the edges in a plateful of the corn. Or make your own by first spooning your favorite flavor of softened ice cream between two sugar cookies or chocolate cookies. Roll the ice cream side in candy corn. Wrap in plastic wrap or foil and freeze at least 6 hours until firm. Let stand about 10 minutes before eating.

Use them as decoration on the chocolate icing atop a cake, cupcakes or brownies (the colors look great against brown).

Make a seasonal party mix by combining 4 cups cereal（麦片）and 1/3 cup melted butter. Toss（拌）to coat. Add 1 cup raisins, 1 cup candy corn and 1 (12-ounce) jar dry-roasted peanuts. Toss to mix. Store in an airtight（密封的）container.

Make attractive candy corn cookies. Make your favorite sugar cookie recipe, roll it out, cut the dough with about a 1 1/2-inch triangular cookie cutter and bake then cool. Then using a fondant（软糖）rolling pin, roll out yellow fondant on paper until it is 1/8-inch thick. Cut the fondant into 1/2-inch-thick strips and set aside. Repeat with white and orange fondants. Place the strips side by side on the paper and roll until the strips become one piece. Cut out a candy corn shape from the fondant sheet with your triangular cutter. Press light corn syrup on the top of your cookies and place fondant sheets on the cookies. Let dry at least 1 hour.

【题目】阅读下面的文字，完成下列各小题。

①曲曲折折的荷塘上面，弥望的是田田的叶子。叶子出水很高，像亭亭的舞女的裙。层层的叶子中间，零星地点缀着些白花，有袅娜地开着的，有羞涩地打着朵儿的；正如一粒粒的明珠，又如碧天里的星星，又如刚出浴的美人。微风过处，送来缕缕清香，仿佛远处高楼上渺茫的歌声似的。这时候叶子与花也有一丝的颤动，像闪电般，霎时传过荷塘的那边去了。叶子本是肩并肩密密地挨着，这便宛然有了一道凝碧的波痕。叶子底下是脉脉的流水，遮住了，不能见一些颜色；而叶子却更见风致了。

②月光如流水一般，静静地泻在这一片叶子和花上。薄薄的青雾浮起在荷塘里。叶子和花仿佛在牛乳中洗过一样；又像笼着轻纱的梦。虽然是满月，天上却有一层淡淡的云，所以不能朗照；但我以为这恰是到了好处——酣眠固不可少，小睡也别有风味的。月光是隔了树照过来的，高处丛生的灌木，落下参差的斑驳的黑影，峭楞楞如鬼一般；弯弯的杨柳的稀疏的倩影，却又像是画在荷叶上。塘中的月色并不均匀；但光与影有着和谐的旋律，如梵婀玲上奏着的名曲。

③荷塘的四面，远远近近，高高低低都是树，而杨柳最多。这些树将一片荷塘重重围住；只在小路一旁，漏着几段空隙，像是特为月光留下的。树色一例是阴阴的，乍看像一团烟雾；但杨柳的丰姿，便在烟雾里也辨得出。树梢上隐隐约约的是一带远山，只有些大意罢了。树缝里也漏着一两点路灯光，没精打采的，是渴睡人的眼。这时候最热闹的，要数树上的蝉声与水里的蛙声；但热闹是它们的，我什么也没有。

【1】第①段描绘了月色下荷塘的景物，作者依次描绘了哪些景物？

答：_____________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________

【2】第②段的景物描绘，观察角度与第①段相比有什么变化？

答：_____________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________

【3】作者笔下，月光是“淡淡的”，如“流水”，如“牛乳”，如“轻纱”，月光笼罩下的一切都朦朦胧胧。为什么作者说“但我以为这恰是到了好处”？

答：_____________________________________________________________________

【4】说说第③段所写景物有哪些特点，作者为什么发出了“但热闹是它们的，我什么也没有”的感慨？

答：_____________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________
