He gave me almost everything I wanted. Whenever I quarreled with my mother, I would turn to my father for comfort. He was everything to me. Time flies like a bird. As I got older, I became silent and found it hard to start a conversation with my father. The gap between us began to grow. He had done so much for me but I always took it for granted. Last time our school gave us two days off, and Daddy gave me a ride home on his motorbike. I was tired and fell asleep on his back. Later my mother said he was very happy because it had been a long time since we got close last. Suddenly I felt a little ashamed. I realized that I had ignored(忽略)him a lot during the last few years. The next day I stayed in bed and when Daddy tried to wake me up to have breakfast, I pretended that I couldnˈt hear him. At last he brought a bowl of noodles to my bed, and said, "Come on, dear, have your breakfast and then continue your dream." I got so angry with him for interrupting my sleep that I shouted, “Leave me alone.” As I said this, I sat up quickly, and the bowl of noodles broke on the floor. Hearing the noise, Mom came in and shouted at me, "Who else treats you as well as he does?" I was shocked and didnˈt know what to say. Finally I rushed out with tears all over my face. I went to the pool where I used to go fishing with Daddy. A few minutes later, I heard the sound of Daddyˈs motorbike. He was looking for me anxiously, but he didnˈt notice me as I was sitting behind a tall brush. I didnˈt return home until 10 a.m. The moment my parents saw me, they rushed to me. Mom hugged me tightly and Daddy looked at me with worry in his eyes. "Are you hungry, dear?" he said at last. Before I could say anything, he had gone off on his motorbike to buy food for me.

Well, you could have read some words, but the words wouldn't be printed by a machine on paper. Modern printing began in China somewhere between 200 BC and 200 AD. A block (块) of wood was carved (刻) so that the words or pictures stood out. Ink (墨) was put on the wood and then cloth was put on the top of the wood. Later, during the Han Dynasty in 105 AD, paper making was invented in China and printing was done mostly on paper after that. Much later, a new way called "moveable type" was invented. It used small metal blocks (金属块) with words. The blocks could be moved around easily to make a whole page of printed text. It was much faster than carving a block of wood. This was invented in China in 1040. Later, this printing way started to be used in Europe around 1439. Printing became much easier and faster and became popular everywhere. Now, we send e-mails, messages and photos to each other. We can read on our phones and computers. Ideas and knowledge are spreading faster than any other time in history and the screen is replacing the page for many people. 41.Modern printing began in China ________. A. between 200 BC and 200 AD B. in 1040 C. around 1439 D. in the 19th century 42.The blocks for "moveable type" were made of ________.

In a science book. C. In a storybook. D. In a guidebook. D We just moved into a small apartment. Our old house was beautiful and huge. Our home now? Half the size and crowded. There were still boxes everywhere. The day after the move, while the kids were in school, I dealt with some boxes and hung the family photo on the wall. But it just didn't feel like home. Maybe I could make some chocolate biscuits, just like my grandma used to do whenever I needed cheering up. When I added eggs to my mixer, it suddenly stopped working. "Really?!" I felt like crying. What would my grandma do? During those hard times, she used whatever she had to support her family. I didn't think Grandma would give up easily. She would find another way. So I ran to the remaining boxes. I found Grandma's old white mixer there! I turned the switch (开关) on... nothing. Ugh! The old mix er that was broken beyond (无法) repair was just like my life these days. "Come on! Try again," a small voice said. I turned the switch back on. To my surprise, the mixer started to work slowly! Two hours later, the kids opened the door. "Mmmm, cookies! Thank you, Mom," they said, jumping excitedly. For the first time, our new house felt like home. It even smelled like home, just like Grandma's house always did. Maybe this house wasn't as big as our old one. But then again, maybe home wasn't where we lived. It was where we shared the sweet moments and the small miracles (奇迹) of every day, like a broken mixer that came back to life when I needed comfort most. 46.The writer wanted to make chocolate biscuits to ________. A. learn from her grandma B. cheer the family up C. find a way to support the family D. feed the hungry children 47.What might make the writer upset at the beginning? A.

Kind and hard-working. 49.What does the underlined phrase "came back to life" mean in the last paragraph? A. Started working again. B. Returned home suddenly. C. Was saved by others. D. Was taken to the world. 50.What does the writer learn about home in the end? A. Everyone needs a dream home. B. Home is where Mom is. C. Where love is, there is home. D. A house is not a home. 四、短文选词填空（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分） 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 require  our  speech  good  silent  course  then  club  dare  call My parents were always busy and had little time to stay with me.

Well, you could have read some words, but the words wouldn't be printed by a machine on paper. Modern printing began in China somewhere between 200 BC and 200 AD. A block (块) of wood was carved (刻) so that the words or pictures stood out. Ink (墨) was put on the wood and then cloth was put on the top of the wood. Later, during the Han Dynasty in 105 AD, paper making was invented in China and printing was done mostly on paper after that. Much later, a new way called "moveable type" was invented. It used small metal blocks (金属块) with words. The blocks could be moved around easily to make a whole page of printed text. It was much faster than carving a block of wood. This was invented in China in 1040. Later, this printing way started to be used in Europe around 1439. Printing became much easier and faster and became popular everywhere. Now, we send e-mails, messages and photos to each other. We can read on our phones and computers. Ideas and knowledge are spreading faster than any other time in history and the screen is replacing the page for many people. 41.Modern printing began in China ________. A. between 200 BC and 200 AD B. in 1040 C. around 1439 D. in the 19th century 42.The blocks for "moveable type" were made of ________.

There were still boxes everywhere. The day after the move, while the kids were in school, I dealt with some boxes and hung the family photo on the wall. But it just didn't feel like home. Maybe I could make some chocolate biscuits, just like my grandma used to do whenever I needed cheering up. When I added eggs to my mixer, it suddenly stopped working. "Really?!" I felt like crying. What would my grandma do? During those hard times, she used whatever she had to support her family. I didn't think Grandma would give up easily. She would find another way. So I ran to the remaining boxes. I found Grandma's old white mixer there! I turned the switch (开关) on... nothing. Ugh! The old mix er that was broken beyond (无法) repair was just like my life these days. "Come on! Try again," a small voice said. I turned the switch back on. To my surprise, the mixer started to work slowly! Two hours later, the kids opened the door. "Mmmm, cookies! Thank you, Mom," they said, jumping excitedly. For the first time, our new house felt like home. It even smelled like home, just like Grandma's house always did. Maybe this house wasn't as big as our old one. But then again, maybe home wasn't where we lived. It was where we shared the sweet moments and the small miracles (奇迹) of every day, like a broken mixer that came back to life when I needed comfort most. 46.The writer wanted to make chocolate biscuits to ________.
