B
It was early August. Will, an 11-year-old boy, found that he was at the summer camp again. It was the fifth time that he had joined the camp. His dad loved this camp when he was still a little boy and would like his son to join just as he did every summer.
By the middle of August, Wi1l had enough of everything at camp—the horses, the canoeing, and the camp food that didn’t taste (品尝) great. At last, he wrote a letter to his mom, asking if she could come and take him home early. But he didn’t want her to tell his dad about it. Two days later, he got a letter back. The letter said, “I can’t do that. I am always honest (诚实) with your dad. If you want to come home, I will communicate with him about it.”
Will didn’t want his dad to know, so he wrote back to his mom that he would stay for the last two weeks and try to enjoy it. He also hoped his mom could make the food he liked when he got home. Will wanted to taste his mom’s food so much. He pretended the camp food was his mom’s cooking and then it wouldn’t taste so bad. But this made him want to go back home even more.
Will planned to be honest with his camp counselors (辅导员). He told the horse counselor that he didn’t really like his horse. The counselor gave him a friendlier one. The new horse wouldn’t run too fast and he started to like horse riding. As for the canoeing, Will always sat in the front of the canoe, but he wanted to try sitting in the stem (船尾). He told his canoeing counselor about that and he finally could be the stem paddler (划桨的人). He enjoyed it.
When Will’s parents came to take him home, he said, “This was the best summer at camp ever!” He couldn’t wait for next year’s camp and might even stay for more weeks.
36. Will started to go to the summer camp when he was ________.
A.5 years old B.6 years old C.7 years old D.8 years old
37. Will told his mom, not his dad, he wanted to go home because ________.
A. his mom would talk to his dad about it
B. Will had enough of everything at the camp
C. Will had to come to the camp over and over again
D. Will didn’t want his dad to know he didn’t enjoy it
38. What does the underlined word “pretended” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.假装 B.梦想 C.认为 D.猜测
39. Which of the following did NOT help Will enjoy the summer camp?
A. Will getting a friendly horse
B. Will becoming the stem paddler
C. Will pretending to enjoy the camp food
D. Wi1l trying to be honest with people at the camp
40. The story tells us that ________.
A. we need to ask for help
B. summer camps can help children become better
C. children should do what their parents tell them to
D. being honest can make things easier and more fun
C
What do you like doing when you are free? For some people, there is no better thing to do
than spending time in the garden. This small area of green can be their oasis of calm (宁静的一刻).
It’s true that some of us think of gardening as a kind of therapy (治疗). A research (研究) made by the Royal Horticultural Society, found that 82% of people in the UK said that gardening makes them happier. It also found that 70% of them, would like to spend their working day in the garden with just 9% preferring (更喜欢) an office.
For those with green fingers, the joy of gardening comes from getting out in the fresh air and talking with flowers and plants—even if there are a few too many insects (昆虫)!
Dr. Christopher Lowry injected (注射) a bacterium (细菌) commonly found in soil into mice to see what may happen to them. He found the bacterium had a similar (相似的) effect on the mice as an antidepressant (抗抑郁) medicine might. When we dig (挖) in soil we inject this bacterium through cuts in our skin, so Dr. Lowry said that since the mice looked happier with soil bacteria, it’s possible we would be too.
Gardening can also be used as a way to deal with bad habits. Alcoholics (酗酒者) who have been given the chance to plant, grow, and even sell, have stopped their bad habits. Stephen, who left school because of doing something bad, started a vocational qualification (职业证书) in gardening. He says “I got my first qualification and enjoyed it ever since.”
Whatever the reason, there are many advantages to getting your hands dirty, doing some physical hard work and then watching your garden grow. Does this sound like your idea of fun?
41. Which statement is TRUE according to the research in Paragraph 2?
A. Most people in the world like gardening.
B. The office is not a good place for people.
C. People who join this research team are doctors and nurses.
D. Happiness may grow if people in Britain work in a garden.
42. People who like gardening get their happiness from ________.
A. getting close to nature
B. killing harmful insects
C. cleaning up dirty soil
D. cutting their fingers
43. What is Dr. Christopher Lowry’s conclusion (结论)?
A. People need the bacteria from soil.
B. Bacteria can be used as a medicine.
C. Mice and humans have the same bacteria.
D. Getting hands covered with soil makes people feel better.
44. The writer wrote about Stephen to ________.
A. introduce a bad student as an example
B. explain the advantages of vocational skills
C. introduce useful qualifications in gardening
D. show that gardening can help people drop bad habits
45. What may be the best title for this text?
A. Ways to Be Happy B. How to Be a Gardener
C. The Good of Gardening D. Hobbies to Recommend
