We pack our tent, sleeping bags and cooking gear. “Don’t forget the camera!” I say We drive to the lake and we set up camp. Click (咔嚓)! I take a picture. “Time to eat,” says Dad. We build a fire to cook hamburgers and hot dogs. Click! I take a picture. “Time for bed,” says Mom. We get into our sleeping bags. We look at the stars. Click! I take a picture. In the morning, we see a bear by the lake. It is eating berries. Click! I take a picture. “Time for fishing,” says Dad. Mom catches three fish, and Abby catches a turtle. Click! I take a picture. Our camping trip is over and it’s time to go home. Everyone wears a smile. Click! I take a picture. The next day, Grandma wants to hear all about our trip. I can’t remember everything, so I show Grandma all my pictures! 26.

B Observation (观察) Day 1 The color of the soil looks darker because I just water it. In the center of the pot, I can see a little sprout that grows from the potato under the soil. I’ll call it Buddy. Buddy is green and yellow. I wonder how fast it will grow. Day 6 Without much change in the past six days, I finally see some new progress on Buddy as it grows taller. I’m interested in seeing new life like this. I hope Buddy can grow faster. Day 11 Buddy is getting larger! Three more new sprouts grow around Buddy! Green leaves grow on the new sprouts, but they don’t fully grow yet. I guess I need to be a little more patient. Day 13 Buddy keeps on growing taller. The leaves on the new sprouts grow a little. It’s also exciting to see more new sprouts that grow from under the soil. Day 15 Finally, the leaves on the other sprouts are 3 cm tall. They’re so green. I hope new potatoes under the soil will soon grow. 29. Which of the following pictures can match the underlined word “pot”? 30. When does Buddy start to grow taller? A. On Day 1. B. On Day 6. C. On Day 11. D. On Day 13. 31.

A. ①②③ B. ①③② C. ③②① D. ②③① 32. How does the writer feel when more new sprouts grow from under the soil? A. Excited. B. Bored. C. Worried. D. Afraid. C When I got to school today, everybody was acting all strange around me, and at first, I didn’t know what was up. Then I remembered: I still had the Cheese Touch from last year. I got the Cheese Touch in the last week of school, and over the summer I forgot about it. The problem with the Cheese Touch is that you’ve got it until you can pass it on to someone else. But nobody would even get within 30 feet of me. Every time they saw me, they screamed “Ah~ Greg Heffley is coming!” I knew the Cheese Touch would stick with me for the whole school year. Luckily, a new kid named Jeremy Pindle was in the classroom, so I passed the Cheese Touch to him. My first class was Maths, and the teacher put me right next to Alex Aruda, the cleverest kid in the whole class. If the kids’ last names start with the first few letters of the alphabet (字母表), the teacher will call them most, and that’s why they end up being the cleverest. Some people think that’s not true, but I can show some examples to prove it. You see the picture on the left? Alex Aruda is a top student, while Christoper Ziegel is different. I can only think of one kid. He broke the last-name rule, and that’s Peter Uteger. Peter was the cleverest kid in the class all the way up until the fifth grade. When we kept saying his initials (首字母) out loud, it sounded funny. This gave Peter a difficult time. These days, Peter doesn’t put up his hand at all, and he’s pretty much a C student. I feel a little bad about the whole P.U. thing and what happened to Peter. 33. What is Cheese Touch according to the passage? A. A kind of food. B. A school course. C. A piece of paper. D. A popular trick. 34. If someone gets the Cheese Touch, __________. A. he is dangerous to others around him B. other kids may keep away from him C. he should pass it on to someone else in a week D. it will stick with him for the whole school year 35. What may Peter Uteger think of those kids when they kept saying “P.U.!” out loud? A. Noisy and impolite. B. Active and kind. C. Humorous and excited. D. Crazy and patient. 36. What can you infer from the passage? A. Peter Uteger broke the class rule in the third grade. B. The kids in the class don’t play with Jeremy Pindle now. C. Christoper Ziegel is among the cleverest kids in the class. D. Jeremy Pindle got the Cheese Touch in the last week of school. D Have you ever seen a poster for a product in a place you didn’t expect? Or have you ever been surprised by a group of strangers who suddenly started singing and dancing together to advertise a service? People in advertising call this “guerrilla marketing”. It’s a term that describes low-cost and unusual marketing strategies (策略) that catch people off guard. Guerrilla marketing is different from traditional marketing because it doesn’t use typical marketing platforms like print, TV, or online advertising. It’s also a lot cheaper. It was first designed for small businesses with less money, but these days many large companies are trying this clever and affordable (实惠的) strategy. Coca-Cola is one such company. It once placed a special vending machine (自动贩卖机) on a college campus. If students bought a bottle of Coca-Cola from the machine, they got two extra bottles free of charge to give to their friends. Sometimes, a hand came out of the machine and gave customers flowers instead of an extra drink. People loved it! Coca-Cola filmed customers enjoying this special “happiness machine” and posted the video online. Many people watched the video and shared it with their friends, and the company enjoyed free publicity (宣传). IKEA-one of the world’s largest furniture companies-also gave guerrilla marketing a try. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of its most popular bookcase, IKEA decided to try something different. It teamed up with a charity called the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation to set up the world’s largest outdoor library. The location? On a beach! IKEA displayed its bookcases on Sydney’s Bondi Beach and filled them with over 6,000 books. People got to see IKEA’s bookcase in use and find something interesting to read at the same time. 37. What is the writer’s purpose of the first paragraph? A. To describe how successful guerrilla marketing is. B. To show why guerrilla marketing is successful. C. To show when guerrilla marketing began. D. To explain what guerrilla marketing is. 38. The underlined phrase “off guard” means __________. A. not spending much money B. doing something unusual C. not looking forward to a surprise D. waiting for something new 39. IKEA probably chose Bondi Beach to show its products because __________. A. it was a future location for IKEA’s store B. it was an unusual place to see books C. it was near a public library D. it was near an IKEA store 40. Why does the writer mention Coca-Cola and IKEA? A. They are both well-known companies around the world. B. They both use traditional marketing strategies. C. They both spend a lot in advertising their products. D. They are both successful examples of guerrilla marketing. 第二卷（非选择题）（共60分） 4、 填空：根据句意及提示写出单词完成句子。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 41. We are all looking forward to __________(赢) the match. 42.

Anyone around you can tell you some of his regrets. As we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. What can we do to avoid (避免) future regrets? Make better plans If you start to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them. Live a more active life You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed and active. Besides, you also need to be kind. “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be angry with others. Find the right friend A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you have to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always better your ideas. When you get into trouble, ask friends for help. That little help may get you good results. Never fear failure Everybody fails. Even the greatest person failed. We should not be afraid of failure, because failure is not the end of the road. We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves. Life is good. We don’t have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better, and work better when we have the chance to do so. 61.
