【2】good restaurants

【3】on the ground floor

【4】wakes me up

【5】be able to

【解析】

本文是作者写给贝蒂的信，主要是针对自己家附近出现的一些问题导致可能要搬家，但是作者不想搬家，所以向贝蒂寻求建议。

【1】句意：我和父母住在一个很好的地方。

根据空后“my parents in a nice place”可知，此处表示“我”和父母住在一个很好的地方。故填live with。

【2】句意：它靠近一个公园和许多好的饭店。

根据上下文可知，it指的是这个地区，以及上句中“a nice place”可知此处和公园并列。故填good restaurants。

【3】句意：我们住在一楼，离垃圾收集的地方很近。

根据空后“are close to the rubbish collection place”可知，此处离垃圾收集的地方很近，指住在一楼。故填on the ground floor。

【4】句意：有时它一晚吵醒我两三次。

根据上句“The people in the flat above us have a dog and it often barks.”可知，有只狗总是在叫，因此是“把我吵醒”。故填wakes me up。

【题目】 It is late at night. People in Cape Town,South Africa,line up to collect water from a spring. One by one,they fill their plastic bottles. Each person can take up to 13 gallons（加仑）. Policemen stand by to keep the rules. In a few months,that number will be cut in half.

Cape Town is a city of four million people. It is running out of water. For three years,the city has faced a drought（干旱）. It is the worst in a century. Local reservoirs（水库）are mostly sand and dried earth. Officers are telling people to save water.（A）_______, the city will one day be forced to cut off the supply to homes and businesses. That day is being called Day Zero. At press time,Day Zero was expected to be June 4.（B）_______ the date may change based on water levels in local reservoirs.

"There are a lot of people who have not realized the problem." said Shirley Curry. She waited at a spring to get her share of water. "Now they suddenly realize this is for real."

On Day Zero, each person's daily water supply will drop to about 6.5 gallons. (The average American uses 80 to 100 gallons of water per day.) Lines at the city's 200 water collection points will probably get even longer.

Some places will not be included in the cutoff. The water will keep running in hospitals and schools. It will stay on in poor areas, too. This is to prevent illness. Areas popular with tourists may also have water. More than 10 million people visit Cape Town each year. Tourism provides nearly 10% of South Africa's economy.

Across the city,people are making an effort to save water. They are taking 90-second showers. They are washing their clothes less often. Using tap water to wash cars or fill swimming pools is not allowed. Those caught using too much water are punished.

For some people,rationing（定量供应）now feels normal. Kelson da Cruz keeps one container of water near the shower. Another he uses for brushing his teeth and washing his face. He uses non-drinking water to flush（冲洗）the toilet.

【题目】 Many people might think that if they had more money， then they would be happier in life． For example， people might look at what others have， like expensive clothes or nice cars， and wish they could have the same． But the things that money can buy can not bring happiness to a person for long．

This idea of joining your happiness to the happiness of others is described as a ubuntu in an African language． There is even a story about a man visiting Africa who asked some kids to race to a nearby tree． The first child to touch the tree would get a sweet treat． Surprising， all the children held hands and ran together． They all touched the tree at the same time． The man asked why they had done this． The children just said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one．

【题目】 Growing a Family Business Every Saturday and Sunday this fall, while other kids are sleeping in or preparing for a soccer game, Phillip Gargiulo, age 11, will be up at 5 a.m. sweeping floors. It's hard work, but Phillip's job at Masker Orchards（果园） isn't just a job-it's all for his family.

Masker is one of the largest pick-it-yourself apple orchards in the New York area, with 200 acres（英亩） of land and 16,000 trees. The orchard was founded in 1913 by the Masker family. In 1969, Phillip's grandfather bought the land. His three kids and six grandkids have been running the family business ever since.

On a good weekend, there will be more than 800 customers. One of Phillip's jobs is to count the items they bought, give customers a total, and take their money. That's a lot of apples-and a lot of math! And more than 100 teens work there, too. For their hard work, the Gargiulo kids are paid﹩15 per hour. After working there for seven years, Phillip has saved﹩3,000. He's planning to use it to buy a car one day, and to help pay for college.

Having a family business means much more than making money. It also means making sacrifices.

"Growing up, it was good and bad," says Phillip's mom. She's been working at the orchard since she was 4 years old. "From August to Halloween, I would be busy. In high school, you want to be with your friends, out doing other things. That wasn't always possible when I had to be at the orchard."

Phillip, too, sees both sides. "I'm learning how to run a business, and I'm learning what hard work is really all about." he says. He admits, though, that some mornings, when his alarm clock goes off in the early morning, he'd rather be sleeping in or playing baseball with friends. "But I'm learning to do things that I will need for the rest of my life," he says. "And I'm spending time with my family. I love it."

【1】Phillip gets up early every weekend to ______ .

A.finish his homeworkB.do the work for his family

C.prepare for a soccer gameD.go for a run in the morning

【2】What does Phillip do on a good weekend in Masker?

A.To plant some apple trees.

B.To work on math problems.

C.To play baseball with friends.

D.To count apples and take the money.

【3】What can we learn from this passage?

A.Getting something probably means giving up something.

B.It's necessary to make money as early as possible.

C.Growing up means doing what you want to do.

D.There is nothing more important than parents.

【题目】阅读下列短文，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Have you ever wanted to have a doll that could talk to you? In the book The Ventriloquist's Daughter, a girl named Liur gets a doll like this. But it doesn't turn out to be as fun as she thought.

Lin Man-Chiu, an author from Taiwan, wrote the book. British translator Helen Wang translated it into English. The book tells a touching story about Liur and her father.

Liur loses her mother at a young age. Her grandfather sends her father to a medical school in the US. Five years later, he comes back with a doll named Carola, as he once promised he would. This doll is quite unusual-it can talk! However, Carola makes a lot of problems for the family.

After reading this book. I thought Liur and her father were just unlucky. In fact, this story is based on the author's own unhappy childhood. She had six sisters. Still, her grandfather wanted a grandson. Her father was under heavy pressure and didn't live with her and her sisters for a very long time. The author didn't like her father when she was young. But now she has forgiven him. The talking doll Carola stands for her father's burden (负担).

After I learned this，I understood the author's main message. Everyone has demons (心魔) in their lives, but we should do our best to beat them.

【题目】 I’ve never been the kind of person to say，“It’s the thought counts”（贵在心意）when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago when my kids gave me a present that blew me away.

For years now. I’ve been wanting to sell our home，the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me，this house is much more than just building.

In the front room，there is a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines，marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey，with each child’s name and the date on which they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories，It’s this one thing that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights that has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears，but erasing that evidence（证据）of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways，but the wall is a piece of physical evidence of their progress，right there for everyone to see.

Over the years，I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved，even thought the last marks were made ten years ago when my kids stopped growing.

So one day，my children decided to do something about it.

They hired Jacquie Manning，a professional photographer whose work is about capturing（拍摄）the beautiful things in life，from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ball gowns. She came to our house while I was at work，and over several hours，took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines，little grey fingerprints and old marks. Somehow，she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards，she put all the photos together into one image（影像），turning them into a beautiful history of my family.

Three weeks later，my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life-size-photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents（代表）love and growth.

【1】What was the hardest thing to leave behind when the author planned to move?

A.The presents friends gave her.B.Some expensive objects.

C.Some old photos.D.The pencil lines and fingerprints on a wall.

【2】Who came up with the idea of the photo gift?

A.A professional photographer.B.The author herself.

C.The author’s children.D.The author’s friends.

【3】We can include from the article that the author .

A.was strongly against selling her home

B.was not happy with the gift from her family

C.measures her children’s heights every Christmas

D.put great love and care in raising her children

【4】The author used the example of her friends（in paragraph 4）to .

A.persuade her family to leave the wall as it was

B.stress the meaning of keeping good memories

C.explain why her house needed a new paint job

D.share her memory of being a mother with her readers

【5】The main purpose of the article is to .

A.give advice on picking gifts for parents

B.introduce effective ways of communicating with children

C.explain why memories of love and growth are important

D.recommend a unique way of recording family history
