9.It was a hot,humid day,and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr.Blickez's pasture(牧场) and through some woods.
The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge,mean Hereford bull.Mr.Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township,maybe even the county,and we believed him.But the hotter it got,the more we thought there was something fishy about his claim.For one thing,we remembered Mr.Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another,Elsie seemed like an odd name for a bull.
Finally,I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture,but then another problem surfaced.Mom said she would talk to Mr.Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us.Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller.If her teasing ever got around my grade school,it would be all over for me.In fact,I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning."I'm not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin."I told my mom.
"Either Joanie goes with,or you stay home alone,"Mom said in her serious tone.I gave in and we set out.On our way across the pasture,Walt yelled suddenly.Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back.Joanie and I dove under the wire fence,but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn't a big mean bull after all.She was going to keep licking my brother's back as long as he stood still.
We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called"big mean bull".And as it turned out,for a girl cousin,Joanie hasn't been too bad.She's been one of my best friends over the years.

24.What's the meaning of the underlined word"fishy"in paragraph 2?C
A.Funny      
B.Interesting     
C.Doubtful    
D.Believable

C.He quarreled with his cousin and had a headache.

26.What does the author think of Elsie in the endD

5.One afternoon,after finishing shopping in a supermarket,my family and I went to the check out.I suddenly thought we didn't need any of the junk,and we abandoned all of those,saving 300.
That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life.With a promise that we'd stop if it was killing us,I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality (节俭)The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30days except absolutely essentials.
Our adventure began with a great start.By 9am.,my wife,Ruth,had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn't even know we had in the garden.I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years.I read and returned the neighbor's newspaper before he woke up.Total spending on the first day:$0.
As days turned into weeks,we became so proficient ( 熟练的) at living frugally.We started riding our bikes to save gas.My child's finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for the home-made presents.We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.
In the end,we saved more than 2000 by not spending for a month.When we began,I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buy a lot of things in the super-market,then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies.

20.In the very early 1800's,a young boy about 14 years old named John lived in an orphanage (孤儿院) in Old England along with several other children.Orphan meant unwanted and unloved.
     Christmas was the one day of the year when the children didn't work and received a gift,an orange.Usually they tried to taste and preserve it for so long that it often rotted before they ever peeled(剥开)it to enjoy the sweet juice.Many thought were expressed as Christmas time approached.The children would say,"I will keep mine the longest."John usually slept with his next to his pillow.This year John was overjoyed by the Christmas season.He was b ecoming a man and stronger and soon he would be old enough to leave.He would save his orange until his birthday in July.
     Christmas day finally came.The children were so excited as they entered the big dining hall.Immediately the master shouted,"John,leave the hall and there will be no orange for you this year."John's heart broke violently wide open.He turned and went swiftly back to the cold room.Then he heard the door open and each of the children entered.Little Elizabeth with her hair falling over her shoulders,a smile on her face,and tears in her eyes held out a piece of rag to John."Here John,"she said,"this is for you."As he lifted back the edges of the rag he saw a big juicy orange all peeled and quartered and then he realized what they had done
John never forgot the sharing,love and personal sacrifice his friends had shown him that Christmas day.In memory of that day every year he would send oranges all over the world to children everywhere.

17.On a number of drives throughout my childhood,my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I,in my late teens and early twenties,sat impatiently in the car.
Though Mother's Day follows Earth Day,for me,they have always been related to each other.My mom has been"green"since she became concerned about the environment.Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭).Like her mother and her grandmother before her,mom saves glass jars,empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.
Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard.She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders (给食器) out at night,it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊).Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.
I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment.On busy streets,we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags.This teaching comes easily,I realize,because I was taught so well by example.Mom didn't need to lecture; she didn't need to beat a drum to change the world.She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.
I am slowing down and it isn't because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet,it is out of my concern for the planet itself.I've begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes.I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.
Last summer,in the company of my son and daughter,I planted tomatoes in my yard.With the heat of August around me,I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands.Warm from the sun,it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately wanted to share with my mom.
54.Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother's Day?B
A.Because Mother's Day falls shortly after Earth Day.
B.To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.
C.Because her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mother's Day.
D.To stress that all the older women in her family are environmentalists.
55.We can infer from the article thatA.
A.the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as well.
B.the author's mother used to lecture her to protect the environment.
C.the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy life.
D.the author's mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard.

A.understanding-critical-approving

18.Recently,there have been many famous people (71)watering(water) themselves with buckets of ice water-what's all that about?That is called the"Ice Bucket Challenge",one of the hottest activities.
The activity was created by the ALS Association,an American charity organization,who are working to fight a disease(72)called(call) Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).The disease ALS makes peopl's muscle become hard and(73)it  is very hard for the patients to move.Stephen Hocking is one of the patients.According to the game rules of"Ice Bucket Challenge",participants have to pour a bucket of ice water over the head,and anybody (74)who is invited to the challenge can either do the pouring in 24hours (75)or donate 100U.S.dollars,or do the both.
Like the epidemic(流行病),Ice bucket challenge,which is popular around the world very(76)quickly(quick),has made a growing number of famous persons worldwide,including Bill Gates,Christiano Ronaldo,and Lady Gaga and so on.The activity not only helps the sick people to get the money (77)to cure(cure) their disease,but also makes more and more people aware (78)ofthe disease.Ice bucket challenge is (79)agreat success.Until now,a big sum of money(80)has been received (receive).We hope the patients become better.
19.Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy.But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services.Today's advertisements,or ads,try to get consumers to buy certain brands.Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can,sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing,eat a special kind of food,or see a movie.Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.
For example,you probab1y do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket.There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves.You may not have space on a shelf for another.But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box,you may want it.
Advertising must get attention.To be effective,it must be exciting,entertaining,or provide some pleasure.The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product.The idea is what the ad is really selling.One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports.That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.

A.be both persuasive and effective
B.give people useful information
C.show people a product
D.show people a new idea of a product
26..From the passage,we know thatD

D.cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people
