  The house next door had been empty for so long that we had quite forgotten what it was to have neighbors.One day,   1  , a great furniture lorry drew up near our front gate and in a short time, all kinds of furniture were   2   on the pavement.A small car arrived, out of which came seven people, a man, a woman and five children of   3   ages.The children hurried out and began laughing   4   as the whole family moved into the house.Windows were   5   opens furniture was put into   6  ; and little faces looked curiously at us over the fence and disappeared.It was our first   7   to the Robinsons.

  Though we became firm   8   with our new neighbors, we often had causes to be made angry by them.Our garden became an unsafe place:little boys   9   as cowboys or Indians would jump up from behind bushes,   10   wooden guns at us and   11   us to put our hands up.Sometimes our lives were   12  ; at others, we were killed with a   13  “Bang!Bang!”.Even more dangerous were the arrows that occasionally came sailing   14   the garden fence.

  But we did not   15   go in fear for our lives.The Robinsons were friendly and helpful and when we left for the holidays, we knew we had nothing to fear   16   our neighbors were around.We understood what it was like to have   17   in the long, friendless, winter evenings   18  .Mr.Robinson would   19   in for a cup of tea and chat;or when Mr.Robinson would   20   over the fence and talk endlessly with father about gardening problems.

Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished.statements For each of them there are four chokes marked A、B、C andD.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

  Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are

  probably a mere walk away from your college.

  King's Art Centre

  A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most

  interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere.This weekend tees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.

  You could attend a class teaching you how to 'learn from the masters' or get more creative with paint-free of charge.

  The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.

  The Botanic Garden

  The Garden has over 8, 000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.

  The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive.The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.

  Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.

  The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts.Look for grass snakes in the lake.A snake called 'Hissing Sid' is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.

  Byron's Pool

  Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University, Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of"mess and drunkenness".However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough.I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his roans.He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.

  It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool.A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields.The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea.If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf-over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.

  The subject of this year's Kunming International Expo(博览会) is “man and nature walking hand in hand into the 21 at Century”. When the UK was asked to take part, it seemed natural to build a garden. Now the British Garden will be a central part when Expo opens on May1.

  David Patterson, the Curator(馆长)of the Department of the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh, is leading the team now putting the finishing touches to the garden. The Royal Botanic Gardens were chosen for a very good reason. They have the largest collection of Chinese plants in the world outside China.

  “Ever since people in Britain started gardening for pleasure they have used Chinese plants, ”Patterson told English Comer. “There are probably Chinese flowers in nearly every garden in Britain. This is a good chance to give something back. ”

  The garden has been carefully designed to mix traditional British skills with the local Chinese environment. David Patterson describes the garden as “formal but gentle”. It contains a raised flower bed, a summer house and a lot of local trees. The garden is contained behind a wall of local, yellow stone. It is intended to be a place of serious thinking and quiet enjoyment.

  “You could say that we've painted a picture, ”said David Patterson. “And we have designed the garden to continue for a long time, so that the people of Kunming will be able to enjoy it long after the Expo is over. ”

1.Visitors to the Kunming International Expo will most probably feel ________.

[  ]

A.man is the master of nature
