Bruce almost forgot his own troubles as he watched her weaving the web. Would she fail again? No! The web was made successfully!
“I, too, will try again!” cried Bruce. He stood up and called his men together. He told them of his plans and sent them out with m 19 to other soldiers. Soon there was a new army around him. Another battle was fought, his enemies were beaten and retreated to their own country.

When some birds flew across the sky, he said they were the fastest birds in the world. Nobody a 22 with him. He made a bet (打赌) with his friends. The next day, he tried to solve the problem by reading some books in a library. H 23 , he found out that none of the books had the information he needed. He suffered a heavy loss (损失), but came up with a good idea: If his company could publish such a book with all the world records, he was sure that he could make a lot of money.
Everything was hard at the beginning. Beaver had great d 24 in collecting the unusual records. But when the first Guinness Book came out in 1995, it sold like hot cakes. In fact, his book has r 25 one of the best sellers for many years.
Today, the book is published throughout the world. Every year, a new book is published to keep up with the c 26 records. It is one of the most p 27 books in the world. By now almost everyone agrees that reading the book is not only a lot of fun, but also an eye-opener.

Jack London was born in California, USA, in 1876. As a young man in 1897, he took part in the famous Klondike Gold Rush, when a huge number of people rushed to the Yukon in Canada to look for gold. When London returned to California in 1898, he started writing stories. His novels The Call of the Wild and White Fang are based on his experiences in the Yukon. He died in 1916.
An extract [1] from The call of the wild
Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. Men had found gold in the Yukon, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.
Buck lived in Mr Miller’s big house in the sunny Santa Clara valley. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Buck was chief dog; he was born here, and this was his place. He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos. He went swimming with Mr Miller’s sons and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr Miller’s feet in front of the fire in winter.
But this was 1897, and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr Miller’s gardeners, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr Miller was out, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only one man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck.
Buck growled[2], and was surprised when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man. The man caught him and suddenly Buck was on his back with his tongue out of his mouth. For a few moments he was unable to move, and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train.
When Buck woke up, the train was still moving. The man was sitting and watching him, but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man’s hand hard. Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go.

Vision of Hope
Molly Burke was not born blind. She started losing her sight when she was four years old. Doctors said that she had a rare eye disease that would gradually take away her vision. In her first grade, she learned to read Braille (the language used for the blind), although she could still see.
By age 14, Molly was completely blind. What’s worse, a group of girls who were once her friends started bullying her. Eventually, Molly became disappointed and depressed. Her high school years were not easy.

In 2014, Molly started her own channel on social media, uploading things like makeup video blogs, or vlogs. As of 2019, she has close to two million followers, some of whom don’t even know she’s blind. She tries to be a role model for young people but is realistic about what she can and can’t do. She even makes fun of the challenges she faces as a blind person - like sharing a video that she once bit into a lemon, thinking it was a potato.

BOOK OF THE WEEK
Heidi
By Johanna Spyri
The novel explores themes (主题) of nature,friendship and kindness. Heidi is a little Swiss girl, whose honesty influences those around her. She goes to live with her grandfather in the Alps. She quickly learns to love her new life with him. But then Heidi must be sent away again to Frankfurt, to be the friend of Clara, a girl who is sick and cannot walk...
Chapter Five
Her first day in Frankfurt was a strange day for Heidi, but even stranger for Ms. Rottenmeier,the housekeeper.
At first Heidi couldn’t think where she was. When she woke up, jumped from the big white bed and ran to the window, she saw neither the snow on high mountains nor the little stream winding below. All she saw was brick walls and houses. There was no sound of the wind in the trees-only the sound of carriages (马车) rattling over the stone streets outside.
Heidi felt as though she had been locked up in a cage. But Ms. Rottenmeier felt that she was locked up with a strange, wild child. The child knew nothing of how to behave in a well—run house. She was late to meals. Her clothes were not correct. She made friends with the servants.
But Clara had become much more cheerful since Heidi’s arrival. She liked talking to Heidi about life in the mountains and about Heidi’s grandfather. For Clara the next few days were much less dull than usual.
Heidi was less happy. Tomorrow, she kept thinking, I really must go home. But one thing pleased her. Every day she took more rolls from the table and hid them in her room. She was saving them for Granny.Granny’s teeth were no longer able to chew the hard, black bread which was all she had, and Heidi planned to take back to her the lovely soft rolls as a present.
At last, one day, she started for home. But at the door she met Ms. Rottenmeier.“Where are you going? I have strictly forbidden (禁止) you to go outside by yourself!” Ms.Rottenmeier said.
“I’m only going home,” said Heidi. “I’ve been away too long. My goats must be missing me and...”
“My goodness!” exclaimed Ms. Rottenmeier. “The child is mad!” And then she ordered the servant to lock Heidi up her room.
106.Where was Clara’s home, in the countryside or in the city?
107.Why did Ms. Rottenmeier think Heidi was a wild child?
108.What did Heidi do to make Clara more cheerful?
109.What pleased Heidi?

Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答问题)
Once upon a time, there were four seeds who were good friends. The wind took them into the air and they finally landed on an open space in a jungle. There they remained hidden in the ground, hoping they would be able to grow up and become beautiful trees.
But when the first seed began germinating (发芽), they realized that it wouldn’t be such an easy task. In that area, there lived a group of monkeys, and the smallest ones would amuse themselves by throwing bananas at any plant that was starting to grow.
They threw so many bananas at the first seed that it was almost split (分裂) in two. And when it told the other seeds what had happened, they all agreed it would be better to wait for that group of monkeys to move on before they tried to grow.
Then, the first seed thought she should at least attempt (尝试) it. And when she tried, she was pelted with bananas, and was left folded over. The other seeds told her to stop trying, but that little seed was so determined to become a tree that she tried again and again.
So, for days, weeks and months, the little plant was attacked by the monkeys, and she was always doubled over (在腰部弯曲).
And then, one day, she didn’t double over. She was hit by one banana after another, but none of them managed to make her bend. She had taken so many blows, and been doubled over so many times, that she was full of hard knots and scars. They helped her grow stronger, and finally, it could withdraw (承受) the impact of a banana. And the brave seed was already so well developed that the little monkeys couldn’t uproot her from the ground, either. So there she stayed, growing, growing and growing.
Thanks to the strength of her trunk, she could continue to overcome all difficulties, until she became the most majestic tree in the jungle. Meanwhile, her friends remained hidden in the ground. They were still hoping that those horrible monkeys would one day lose interest in throwing bananas at them. They never realized that those animals were strengthening them by throwing bananas at them. This would prepare the seeds for all the problems they would meet in their lives.
112.The wind took the four seeds into the air and dropped them in a jungle, didn’t it?
113.What happened when the first seed began germinating?
114.How did the other seeds react (反应) when the first seed told them what had happened?
115.Why did the first seed try again and again to germinate?
116.What does the underlined word “they” refer to according to the passage?
117.If you were one of the four seeds, how would you prepare for your future? (explain your reasons)

二、任务型阅读
Jack London was born in California, USA, in 1876. As a young man in 1897, he took part in the famous Klondike Gold Rush, when a huge number of people rushed to the Yukon in Canada to look for gold. When London returned to California in 1898, he started writing stories. His novels The Call of the Wild and White Fang are based on his experiences in the Yukon. He died in 1916.
An extract [1] from The call of the wild
Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. Men had found gold in the Yukon, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.
Buck lived in Mr Miller’s big house in the sunny Santa Clara valley. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Buck was chief dog; he was born here, and this was his place. He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos. He went swimming with Mr Miller’s sons and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr Miller’s feet in front of the fire in winter.
But this was 1897, and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr Miller’s gardeners, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr Miller was out, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only one man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck’s neck.
Buck growled[2], and was surprised when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man. The man caught him and suddenly Buck was on his back with his tongue out of his mouth. For a few moments he was unable to move, and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train.
When Buck woke up, the train was still moving. The man was sitting and watching him, but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man’s hand hard. Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go.

Vision of Hope
Molly Burke was not born blind. She started losing her sight when she was four years old. Doctors said that she had a rare eye disease that would gradually take away her vision. In her first grade, she learned to read Braille (the language used for the blind), although she could still see.
By age 14, Molly was completely blind. What’s worse, a group of girls who were once her friends started bullying her. Eventually, Molly became disappointed and depressed. Her high school years were not easy.
After she finished high school, Molly wanted to do something that would help others. Then she found out about Me to We, an organization that runs international volunteer trips and leadership camps. Molly knew what she wanted to do next - to help inspire people by being a speaker at Me to We.
Molly began speaking at schools all over the USA and Canada about bullying. Her advice? Be strong! During a speech in Toronto, she spoke to about 20,000 people. After her speech, the crowd stood up and clapped. “Molly has a real ability to inspire people and to help others,” her father says.
In 2014, Molly started her own channel on social media, uploading things like makeup video blogs, or vlogs. As of 2019, she has close to two million followers, some of whom don’t even know she’s blind. She tries to be a role model for young people but is realistic about what she can and can’t do. She even makes fun of the challenges she faces as a blind person - like sharing a video that she once bit into a lemon, thinking it was a potato.
“How can you hold somebody like that back?” says Molly’s mother. “She’s unstoppable”.
94.Has Molly lost her sight when she started learning Braille?
95.Why were Molly’s high school years not easy for her?

BOOK OF THE WEEK
Heidi
By Johanna Spyri
The novel explores themes (主题) of nature,friendship and kindness. Heidi is a little Swiss girl, whose honesty influences those around her. She goes to live with her grandfather in the Alps. She quickly learns to love her new life with him. But then Heidi must be sent away again to Frankfurt, to be the friend of Clara, a girl who is sick and cannot walk...
Chapter Five
Her first day in Frankfurt was a strange day for Heidi, but even stranger for Ms. Rottenmeier,the housekeeper.
At first Heidi couldn’t think where she was. When she woke up, jumped from the big white bed and ran to the window, she saw neither the snow on high mountains nor the little stream winding below. All she saw was brick walls and houses. There was no sound of the wind in the trees-only the sound of carriages (马车) rattling over the stone streets outside.
Heidi felt as though she had been locked up in a cage. But Ms. Rottenmeier felt that she was locked up with a strange, wild child. The child knew nothing of how to behave in a well—run house. She was late to meals. Her clothes were not correct. She made friends with the servants.
But Clara had become much more cheerful since Heidi’s arrival. She liked talking to Heidi about life in the mountains and about Heidi’s grandfather. For Clara the next few days were much less dull than usual.
Heidi was less happy. Tomorrow, she kept thinking, I really must go home. But one thing pleased her. Every day she took more rolls from the table and hid them in her room. She was saving them for Granny.Granny’s teeth were no longer able to chew the hard, black bread which was all she had, and Heidi planned to take back to her the lovely soft rolls as a present.
At last, one day, she started for home. But at the door she met Ms. Rottenmeier.“Where are you going? I have strictly forbidden (禁止) you to go outside by yourself!” Ms.Rottenmeier said.
“I’m only going home,” said Heidi. “I’ve been away too long. My goats must be missing me and...”
“My goodness!” exclaimed Ms. Rottenmeier. “The child is mad!” And then she ordered the servant to lock Heidi up her room.
106.Where was Clara’s home, in the countryside or in the city?
107.Why did Ms. Rottenmeier think Heidi was a wild child?
108.What did Heidi do to make Clara more cheerful?

Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答问题)
Once upon a time, there were four seeds who were good friends. The wind took them into the air and they finally landed on an open space in a jungle. There they remained hidden in the ground, hoping they would be able to grow up and become beautiful trees.
But when the first seed began germinating (发芽), they realized that it wouldn’t be such an easy task. In that area, there lived a group of monkeys, and the smallest ones would amuse themselves by throwing bananas at any plant that was starting to grow.
They threw so many bananas at the first seed that it was almost split (分裂) in two. And when it told the other seeds what had happened, they all agreed it would be better to wait for that group of monkeys to move on before they tried to grow.
Then, the first seed thought she should at least attempt (尝试) it. And when she tried, she was pelted with bananas, and was left folded over. The other seeds told her to stop trying, but that little seed was so determined to become a tree that she tried again and again.
So, for days, weeks and months, the little plant was attacked by the monkeys, and she was always doubled over (在腰部弯曲).
And then, one day, she didn’t double over. She was hit by one banana after another, but none of them managed to make her bend. She had taken so many blows, and been doubled over so many times, that she was full of hard knots and scars. They helped her grow stronger, and finally, it could withdraw (承受) the impact of a banana. And the brave seed was already so well developed that the little monkeys couldn’t uproot her from the ground, either. So there she stayed, growing, growing and growing.
Thanks to the strength of her trunk, she could continue to overcome all difficulties, until she became the most majestic tree in the jungle. Meanwhile, her friends remained hidden in the ground. They were still hoping that those horrible monkeys would one day lose interest in throwing bananas at them. They never realized that those animals were strengthening them by throwing bananas at them. This would prepare the seeds for all the problems they would meet in their lives.
112.The wind took the four seeds into the air and dropped them in a jungle, didn’t it?
113.What happened when the first seed began germinating?
114.How did the other seeds react (反应) when the first seed told them what had happened?
115.Why did the first seed try again and again to germinate?
116.What does the underlined word “they” refer to according to the passage?
117.If you were one of the four seeds, how would you prepare for your future? (explain your reasons)
【答案】112.Yes, they did. 113.Monkeys threw bananas at the first seed. 114.The other seeds told her to stop trying. 115.Because she was determined to become a tree. 116.Hard knots and scars. 117.I would never give up, because no pains, no gains.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,借用四颗种子的故事,暗示只有努力向前才有灿烂的未来。
112.根据“The wind took them into the air and they finally landed on an open space in a jungle.”可知风把四颗种子带到空中,把它们扔在丛林里,用肯定回答。故填Yes, they did.
