But some baby animals must take care of themselves when they are born. Mother sea turtles (海龟) lay their eggs on the beach then return to the water. At birth, baby sea turtles go to the ocean all by themselves. Butterfly (蝴蝶) moms fly away after they’ve laid (产卵) their eggs. When a small caterpillar (毛毛虫) comes out from its egg, it knows to eat its egg — and then keep on eating leaves until it grows big enough to change into a butterfly. A seahorse dad carries his babies in a bag on his stomach until they’re ready to be born. But once he pushes the babies out, he leaves and gives them no more care. 1. Where is the passage probably from? A. A story book. B. A science book. C. A teen magazine. 2. What do turtles do to take care of their babies? A. Feed the babies. B. Keep the babies warm. C. The babies take care of themselves. 3. Which of the following is TRUE? A. A seahorse mom carries her babies in a bag. B. Butterfly moms don’t take care of their babies. C. Baby sea turtles go to the ocean with their mothers. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了几种动物幼崽出生后的生存情况。人类婴儿出生后需要他人照顾，而一些动物幼崽出生后就得自己照顾自己，文中列举了海龟、蝴蝶、海马这几种动物的相关情况。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。文章介绍了海龟、蝴蝶、海马等动物幼崽出生后的生存方式等科学知识，所以最有可能来自一本科学书籍。A选项意为“一本故事书”。C选项意为“一本青少年杂志”，均不符合文章题材，故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mother sea turtles (海龟) lay their eggs on the beach, then return to the water. At birth, baby sea turtles go to the ocean all by themselves.”可知，海龟宝宝出生后就得自己照顾自己，A选项意为“喂养宝宝”。B选项意为“给宝宝保暖”，均不符合原文，故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Butterfly (蝴蝶) moms fly away after they’ve laid (产卵) their eggs.”可知，蝴蝶妈妈产卵后就飞走了，不会照顾它们的宝宝，B选项正确。根据“A seahorse dad carries his babies in a bag on his stomach until they’re ready to be born.”可知是海马爸爸而不是妈妈携带宝宝，A选项错误；根据“At birth, baby sea turtles go to the ocean all by themselves.”可知海龟宝宝是自己去海洋，而不是和妈妈一起，C选项错误，故选B。 When you are feeling unhappy or forget how great you are, there are six ways to make you feel good about yourself. 1.

He must have felt hopeless when the doctor said his right leg would have to be cut off 6 inches (英寸) above the knee. But to everyone’s surprise, Terry Fox made up his mind to become a long-distance (长距离的) runner and do something about the cancer. What a dream! Although it seemed impossible, Terry decided to run across the whole country. He hoped to raise one million dollars for cancer research. Few people believed he would make it. Anyway, on April 12,1980, Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope. For the first few days of his marathon, Terry Fox was alone. He started running at 4:30 am. Day by day, people began to realize that something big was happening on the lonely road. As people saw Terry, they stopped and donated (捐赠) money for cancer research. However, his health took a rapid turn for the worse several months later. He had to give up his marathon on September 1,1980. Terry died three months later, at the age of 22. In his short life, he raised ＄24 million for cancer research—one dollar for each person in his motherland. Since his death, the yearly Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981, has grown to be the world’s largest one—day fundraiser (募捐活动) for cancer research. 8. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A. The dream was very strange. B. The dream was easy to achieve. C. It was almost an impossible dream. 9. When did Terry Fox get cancer? A. In 1975. B. In 1980. C. In 1981. 10. How much money did Terry raise for cancer research in his short life? A. ＄2.4 million. B. ＄24 billion. C. ＄24 million. 11. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To tell us when Terry Fox Run was first held. B. To call on us to take part in Marathon of Hope. C. To tell us not to give up when facing difficulties. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Terry Fox在十七岁时患上癌症，右腿膝盖以上六英寸处被截肢。尽管面临巨大的困难，他决心成为一名长跑运动员，为癌症研究筹集资金。尽管他的健康状况后来恶化，他不得不放弃马拉松，但他在短暂的生命中为癌症研究筹集了2400万美元。自他去世后，每年的Terry Fox Run已成为世界上最大的一天募捐活动，用于癌症研究。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Although it seemed impossible, Terry decided to run across the whole country.”可知，划线句子“What a dream!”意为“这是一个几乎不可能实现的梦想。”故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Terry Fox was only seventeen when he got cancer（癌症）.”以及第四段“Terry died three months later, at the age of 22.”可知，Terry Fox在17岁时患上癌症，22岁去世，22岁那年是1980年，因此他患上癌症的时间是1975年。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In his short life, he raised ＄24 million for cancer research”可知，Terry Fox在短暂生命中为癌症研究筹集了2400万美元。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章讲述了Terry Fox面对癌症和截肢的困境，仍然坚持梦想，为癌症研究筹集资金的故事。作者通过这个故事，旨在告诉我们面对困难时不要放弃。故选C。 读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Thousands of years ago, people didn’t live in cold places because they didn’t know how to keep themselves warm.

It’s a traditional Chinese festival on around April 5th. It could go back to Hanshi Day (Cold Food Day) to remember the man named Jie Zitui. But people truly started to celebrate it in the year 732. So it has a long history of over 1,000 years. On that day, Chinese people celebrate — to remember and honor their ancestors (祭奠祖先). Young and old sweep the tombs and offer food, tea, wine, joss paper and other things to their ancestors. When we talk about the Qingming Festival, a very famous Chinese painting may come up to our minds. Yes. Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival (《清明上河图》) is a painting created by Song Dynasty artist Zhang Zeduan. Zhang was born in 1085 and died in 1145. The painting shows the everyday life of people. It also shows the beautiful looks of the Bianjing City. We call the city Kaifeng now. A number of people, buildings and boats make the long painting interesting and fantastic. Vendors (小商贩) sell things all along the Rainbow Bridge. Lots of people cross the river on the great bridge. Over the centuries, Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival was kept among different owners.
