分析 本文的主要内容蚂蚁农场让我更了解自然界，而事实上它教会我更多．许多年过去了，我开始意识到蚂蚁是一种团队互利型的典范．齐心协力，它们能为自己创造出令人惊叹的世界．我也明白它们应该为自己的辛勤劳作而受到赞赏．日复一日，每只蚂蚁都恪尽职守．蚂蚁农场表明团队合作和坚持不懈的确是成功的两大关键要素．但是还有更重要的一条教训，我直到最近才明白：逆境是生活的一部分，我们必须接受它．人不像蚂蚁，在面对失望之时不会放弃．我们不像蚂蚁，我们知道如果一条隧道塌了，我们得另建一条．放弃，不应在备选之列．

7．Last Friday，6-year-old Landon Johnson went to the River Town Crossings Mall in Grandville with his family．While there，the boy and his cousins took turns chatting with Santa，sharing their Christmas desires．
After telling the man in red he wanted a Wii，a toy dinosaur and a remote control car，Landon hopped off Santa's lap to rejoin his family．But a few moments later，he raced back to Santa's side：he'd forgotten to tell him something important．Specifically，Landon shared his worry with Santa that his autism（自闭症） would land him on the"naughty list．"
His mom，Naomi Johnson，explained to WOOD-TV this week that Landon is often told he's"naughty"by people who mistake his autism for bad behavior．"You get the stares when you're at the grocery store if he's too loud，"Johnson said．"He's been told by other people before，‘You don't need to be so naughty，'or，‘Why are you naughty？"
Johnson says Santa took the time to listen to Landon's worries，and held the boy's hands all the while．"Santa sat him next to him and took Landon's hands in his and started rubbing them，calming them down．Santa asked Landon if it bothered him，having Autism？Landon said yes，sometimes．Then Santa told him it shouldn't．It shouldn't bother him to be who he is，"Johnson said．
Landon told Santa that he sometimes"gets in trouble at school and it's hard for people to understand that he has autism，"but that he's"not a naughty boy．"
"You know I love you and the reindeer love you and it's OK．You're a good boy，"Santa told WOOD-TV about the chat with Landon．"You're a good boy，you know．"
Johnson said she was incredibly moved by Santa's thoughtful words．"This stranger in a red suit told my son the same message I've been trying to get through to him for a while now-that he's special and I love him just the way he was made，"the mom told Today．com．"Seeing Landon's face light up in that moment was just incredible．I couldn't stop crying．He was the real Santa Claus．"
24．What did Landon do after he raced back to Santa？C
A．He shared Christmas desires with Santa．
B．He checked if he was the real Santa Claus．
C．He told Santa how his autism had bothered him．

A．Avoid those who mistake him．
B．Remain what he is．
C．Try to change the way he behaves．
D．Tell others about his autism．
26．What can we infer from the text？B
A．Every child is quite possible to be bothered by autism．

C．Santa Claus are always popular with children and their parents．

13．Cosmo Books Ltd．，14，Woodman Road，
Hertford Estate，Two Bridges，
Rickmansworth，West Sussex．
Middx．
                                                     25th February
Sir，
Just over six months ago，I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare．Your company，Cosmo books Ltd．，offered this set （eight books of plays and two books of poetry） at what was claimed to be a‘remarkable'price：fifteen pounds and fifty pence，including postage and packing．I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems for some time，and these books，in red imitation leather，looked particularly attractive； so I sent for them．
Two weeks later，the books arrived，together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered．So I returned the Dickens books to you，with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare．Two more weeks passed．Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare，the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere，in French．Since I do not read French，these were of no use to me at all．However，I could not afford to post all these books back to you，so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year，instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want，and asking you not to send any other books until further notice．
You did not reply to that letter．Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds，and a set of the plays of Schiller，in German．Since then，a new set of books has arrived every two weeks，the works of Goethe，the poems of Milton，the plays of Strindberg； I hardly know what I have．The books are still all in their boxes，in the garage，and my car has to stand in the rain outside．
I have no room for any more books，and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment，I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me．
Please send no more books，send no more bills，send no more angry letters demanding payment．Just send one large lorry and take all the books away，leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid．
Yours faithfully，
SIMON WALKER

    A．bitterness           B．respect      C．annoyance        D．humor．
20．Did you ever look up at the moon and think you saw a man's face there？When the moon is round and full，the shadows of the moon mountains and the lines of the moon valleys sometimes seem to show a giant nose and mouth and eyes．At least，some people think so．
If there were a man on the moon-instead of mountains and valleys that just look like the face of a man-what would he be like？
He would not be like anyone you know．He would not be like anyone anybody knows．
If the man on the moon were bothered by too much heat or cold the way Earth people are，he could not stay on the moon．
The moon becomes very，very hot．It becomes as hot as boiling water．And the moon becomes very，very cold．It becomes colder than ice．
Whatever part of the moon the sun shines on is hot and bright．The rest of the moon is cold and dark．
If the man on the moon had to breathe to stay alive，he couldn't live on the moon because there's no air there．（He'd have to carry an oxygen tank，as astronauts do．）There's no food on the moon，either．Nothing grows-not even weeds．
If the man on the moon liked to climb mountains，he would be very happy．There are many high places there，such as the raised land around the holes，or craters，of the moon．Some of these rimsare as tall as Earth's highest mountains．
But if the man on the moon liked to swim，he would be unhappy．There is no water on the moon-just dust and rock．
When you think of what it's like on the moon，you may wonder why it interests our scientists．One reason is that the moon is Earth's nearest neighbor-it is the easiest place in space to get to．
Going back and forth between the moon and Earth，astronauts will get a lot of practice in space travel．Things learned on moon trips will be of great help to astronauts who later take long，long trips to some of the planets．
Scientists are also interested in the moon because it has no air．The air that surrounds Earth cuts down the view of the scientists who look at the stars through telescopes．A telescope on the moon would give them a clearer，closer view of the stars．

31．Which of the following is the best title of the passage？B
A．The Moon                 B．The Man on the Moon
C．Research on the Moon     D．What Is It Like on the Moon？
32．What is the reason why our scientists are interested in the moon？D
A．The moon is beautiful．
B．The moon is different from the Earth．
C．The moon is Earth's nearest neighbor-it is the easiest place in space to get to．
D．The moon is the easiest place in space to get to and it has no air，unlike Earth．
33．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？C
A．The climate on the moon is quite different from that on the Earth．
B．Traveling between the moon and Earth will do much good to astronauts．
C．There is some food and weeds on the moon，even though there's no air．
D．If you want to drink hot water on the moon，it's not so hard to boil water．
34．The underlined word"rims"in Paragraph 8meansC．
A．ball     B．hill     C．round edge    D．height
35．What is the main idea of the passage？A
A．We can learn much from research on the moon．
B．There may be human beings on the moon．
C．If there were a man on the moon，there would be many similarities between the man on the moon and on the Earth．
D．A telescope on the moon would help scientists have a clearer，closer sight of the stars．
17．______in mind as well as in body，the child needs more than medical care．（　　）
A．SickB．Be sickC．Because sickD．For sick
18．The tourist attraction was terrible，and not at all what wehad been led（lead） to expect in the previous advertisement．
