This was one more weapon for her to cure me of my strange problem -- inability to read. In the library, I found my way into the“ Children’s Room.”I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random(随机地). The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ev er had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the book's cover was a beag le which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ra n across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer. Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together. My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a beok, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them. I never told my mother about my“ miraculous” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance durıng the next yeau. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, 1 articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held. 24. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to . A. encourage him to do more walking B. make him learn more about weapons C. let him spend a meaningful summer D. help him to defeat his reading problem 25. The book caught the author's eye because .

The happy ending of the story attracted him. 27. Which one could be the best title of the passage? A. Mum's Strict Order B. The Charm of a Book C. Reunion with My Beagle D. My Passion for Reading C For 234 years, the ba ld eagle (白头鹫) has been an official symbol of the U. S. It is, after all, the national animal. But in May,2016, the former President Barack Obama signed a law naming the bison(野牛) the national mammal. Since then, the eagle has had to share its perch. The North American bison has long been a symbol of the West.“ No other native animal tells America’s story better. It is a long- lasting symbol of power, Native American culture, and the Western wildness. At one time, tens of millions of bison lived in North America. For Native American communities, bison were a source of food and clothing. Bison were at the very heart of their traditional way of life,” says Missouri congressman William Laey. That way of life changed in the mid-1800s. People began to travel west and hunt bison. Some hunted for the same reason as Native Americans did. But others killed bison for sport. In 1894, it became illegal to kill bison. But it was almost too late. By the early 1900s, fewer than 1,000 wild bison remained in America. Some people realized the animals needed to be saved. President Theodore Roosevelt, William Hornaday — the first director of the Bronx Zoo, in New York City — and others formed the American Bison Society. The group was to bring back the bison. Native American tribes(部落) and locals also joined the fight. By the mid-1930s, bison were no longer in danger. Today, there are about 500,000 North American bıson. They live in all 50 states.“ Only about 30,000 of those animals are living as truly wild bison. Others live on protected lands or in zoos,” says Pat Thomas, the associate director of the Bronx Zoo. Thomas says naming the bison the national mammal was an important step in making sure the animal is well protected.“ This recognition is beginning to complete the circle,” he says,“ from a time when there were millions of wild bison, to when bison were hunted until they nearly died out, to the beginning of the recovery.” 28. What does the underlined word“ perch” in Para 1 mean? A. Famous name. B. High place. C. Office. D. Food. 29. What can we infer(推断) from William's words? A. Bison have become famous worldwide. B.

What was 1 homas' attitude toward the May law on bison? A. Dissatisfied. B. Neutral. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. D Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often think that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less. 2 I found the pre- holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate(捐献) less- used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to add the money into her se hool fun d (基金)( our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor). For weeks, I' ve been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball— simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch. We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us. 32. What do the words“ more is more” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. The more, the better. B. Enough is enough. C. More money, more worries. D. Earn more and spend more. 33. What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects? A. Saving up for her holiday. B. Paying money for a poor girl. C Putting the money to her fund. D. Giving the money to a sick mother. 34. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd? A. To train his attention. B. To try out an idea. C. To show a parent's love. D. To help him start a hobby. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Take It or Leave It B. A Lesson from Kids C. The Pleasure of Giving D. Live More with Less 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Successful people not only have healthy morning habits, but also know how to finish off their day right.
