Dear Mom and Dad,
You have no idea what a busy week I’m having at Space Camp! Our timetable is full, but what we’re doing is great fun! We get up at 7:00 in the morning and have breakfast, and then it’s time for our daily report. We work in teams, and each team has a task to finish every day. Our team is making a two-stage rocket, and we’re hoping it will fly into the sky. After our daily report and some work with the team, it’s time for lunch.
When lunch is over, we do some other activities. Yesterday, I tried out the one-sixteenth Gravity (重力) Chair! It’s a great chair! It makes you feel you were on the moon. Tomorrow, I want to try the Manned Maneuvering Unit-in that special room we will work without any friction (摩擦). I hope I’ll also get to experience the Five Degrees of Freedom Chair-—they call it the 5DF. That’s a special kind of chair. It moves you back and forth-even upside down! We do other kinds of things, too. For example, the training center has a rock climber and a climbing trainer. There’s a pool, too, and we do water activities there. It’s a good thing that I brought my swimsuit!
I’m really having a good time. I’m so glad I came, even though I was a little nervous at first. But I miss you, and I’ll be glad to go home, too. The Space Camp leavers’ party will be on Friday afternoon—you’ll be there, right? I want you to meet some of my friends and see the planetarium (天文馆) and the museum.
It’s almost time for “lights out.” I’ll call you on Thursday morning.
Love
Sara

Naomi was more embarrassed (尴尬的) than ever before. It was her first day in a new school, and already her worst day. Mom came into the school, wearing that “modern” sweater and those broken jeans. How could she do that to Naomi? Didn’t she know that Naomi was nervous enough about starting in a new school? This was not fair! Naomi sat miserably on the ground. Nobody came near her, and it was easy to see why: Everyone was probably already laughing at her.
Just when Naomi thought things couldn’t get any worse, a girl came up to her and said, “You’re new here, aren’t you?”
“Yeah,” Naomi answered, “I am.”
“I didn’t think I knew you when I saw you in math class before. I’m Emily, by the way.”
“I’m Naomi,” Naomi said. This girl was actually talking to her! After keeping quiet for a moment, Naomi invited Emily to sit down.
Emily sat down and then continued, “I saw you in the hall just now, too. Was that your mom with you?”
Naomi, unable to say anything, just nodded with embarrassment.
“You’re so lucky,” Emily said. “My mom doesn’t even live with me. I haven’t talked to her for a long time.”
Suddenly everything seemed different to Naomi. Not see your mom every day? Not have her there when you get home from school? That would be even more terrible than feeling embarrassed in public. “I’m sorry,” Naomi finally said quietly, realizing staying with mom is more important than what mom looks like.
The two girls talked a lot. On their way to the next class, Naomi promised Emily she would meet her again tomorrow. And she promised herself she would say sorry to her mom later, too.
7. Why did Naomi feel embarrassed?
A. She got the worst grades. B. Her mom laughed at her classmates.
C. She broke the school rules. D. Her mom wore strange clothes in public.
8. What does the underlined word “miserably” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. sadly B. tiredly C. comfortably D. patiently
9. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 9 refer to?
A. Seeing mom every day. B. Not living with mom.
C. Not going home with friends. D. Talking with Emily at school.
10. What can be the best title of the text?
A. When Friends Aren’t There B. A New School
C. What Is More Important D. A Lucky Mom
【答案】7. D 8. A 9. B 10. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了Naomi因母亲穿着“现代”毛衣和破洞牛仔裤出现在新学校而感到极度尴尬,认为这是她最糟糕的一天。当她孤独地坐在地上时,同学Emily主动与她交谈,并提到自己无法与母亲生活。这让Naomi意识到,与母亲的陪伴相比,外表的尴尬微不足道,最终她决定向母亲道歉。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Mom came into the school, wearing that ‘modern’ sweater and those broken jeans… Everyone was probably already laughing at her.”可知,Naomi因母亲的穿着感到尴尬。故选D。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上下文“Naomi sat miserably on the ground. Nobody came near her…”,描述她因尴尬和孤独而情绪低落,故选sadly“伤心地”。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“My mom doesn’t even live with me… Not see your mom every day?”可知,“That”指代“不与母亲同住”的情况。故选B。
【10题详解】

句意:从那以后,他在那里没看到任何人。Since then是现在完成时的标志词,其结构是“have/has + 过去分词”,主语he是第三人称单数,see的过去分词是seen,用has seen。故填has seen。
【45题详解】
句意:巨人说:“我不明白为什么春天还没来。”根据“I can’t understand...spring has not come yet,” said the Giant. “I hope the weather changes soon.”可知,这里是宾语从句,从句表达“春天还没来”的原因,why引导宾语从句表原因,用why。故填why。
【46题详解】
句意:秋天给其他每个花园都带来了新鲜水果,但没给巨人的花园带来。根据“ Autumn gave fresh fruits to every other garden,...it gave none to the Giant’s garden.”可知,前后句是转折关系,“但是”表转折,用but。故填but。
【47题详解】
句意:一天早上,巨人突然听到鸟儿欢快地歌唱。singing是动词,要用副词修饰,happy的副词形式是happily。故填happily。
【48题详解】
句意:巨人从床上跳起来,向外看。根据“The Giant...out of bed and looked outside.”可知,空格处缺少谓语,本文是一般过去时,jump的过去式是jumped,“and looked”可知,这里并列的动作也用一般过去时,填jumped。故填jumped。
【49题详解】
句意:我多傻呀!感叹句结构为How + 形容词/副词 + 主语 + 谓语,silly是形容词,用How。故填How。
50题详解】
句意:孩子们回到花园,让它比以前更漂亮了。than是比较级的标志词,beautiful的比较级是more beautiful。故填more beautiful。

Dear Mom and Dad,
You have no idea what a busy week I’m having at Space Camp! Our timetable is full, but what we’re doing is great fun! We get up at 7:00 in the morning and have breakfast, and then it’s time for our daily report. We work in teams, and each team has a task to finish every day. Our team is making a two-stage rocket, and we’re hoping it will fly into the sky. After our daily report and some work with the team, it’s time for lunch.
When lunch is over, we do some other activities. Yesterday, I tried out the one-sixteenth Gravity (重力) Chair! It’s a great chair! It makes you feel you were on the moon. Tomorrow, I want to try the Manned Maneuvering Unit-in that special room we will work without any friction (摩擦). I hope I’ll also get to experience the Five Degrees of Freedom Chair-—they call it the 5DF. That’s a special kind of chair. It moves you back and forth-even upside down! We do other kinds of things, too. For example, the training center has a rock climber and a climbing trainer. There’s a pool, too, and we do water activities there. It’s a good thing that I brought my swimsuit!
I’m really having a good time. I’m so glad I came, even though I was a little nervous at first. But I miss you, and I’ll be glad to go home, too. The Space Camp leavers’ party will be on Friday afternoon—you’ll be there, right? I want you to meet some of my friends and see the planetarium (天文馆) and the museum.
It’s almost time for “lights out.” I’ll call you on Thursday morning.
Love,
Sara

C
Naomi was more embarrassed (尴尬的) than ever before. It was her first day in a new school, and already her worst day. Mom came into the school, wearing that “modern” sweater and those broken jeans. How could she do that to Naomi? Didn’t she know that Naomi was nervous enough about starting in a new school? This was not fair! Naomi sat miserably on the ground. Nobody came near her, and it was easy to see why: Everyone was probably already laughing at her.
Just when Naomi thought things couldn’t get any worse, a girl came up to her and said, “You’re new here, aren’t you?”
“Yeah,” Naomi answered, “I am.”
“I didn’t think I knew you when I saw you in math class before. I’m Emily, by the way.”
“I’m Naomi,” Naomi said. This girl was actually talking to her! After keeping quiet for a moment, Naomi invited Emily to sit down.
Emily sat down and then continued, “I saw you in the hall just now, too. Was that your mom with you?”
Naomi, unable to say anything, just nodded with embarrassment.
“You’re so lucky,” Emily said. “My mom doesn’t even live with me. I haven’t talked to her for a long time.”
Suddenly everything seemed different to Naomi. Not see your mom every day? Not have her there when you get home from school? That would be even more terrible than feeling embarrassed in public. “I’m sorry,” Naomi finally said quietly, realizing staying with mom is more important than what mom looks like.
The two girls talked a lot. On their way to the next class Naomi promised Emily she would meet her again tomorrow. And she promised herself she would say sorry to her mom later, too.
7. Why did Naomi feel embarrassed?
A. She got the worst grades. B. Her mom laughed at her classmates.
C. She broke the school rules. D. Her mom wore strange clothes in public.
8. What does the underlined word “miserably” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. sadly B. tiredly C. comfortably D. patiently
9. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 9 refer to?
A. Seeing mom every day. B. Not living with mom.
C. Not going home with friends. D. Talking with Emily at school.
10. What can be the best title of the text?
A. When Friends Aren’t There B. A New School
C. What Is More Important D. A Lucky Mom
