When settlers (移民) came to America during the 1600s, they were surprised to find so many trees. Some trees were so huge that a large man couldn’t put his arms around them. Those trees helped the settlers a lot. They were glad and thankful to have these trees. They used them to build houses and make fire. From the wood of the trees, they made furniture, tools and so on.
Most people thought the forests would last forever. However, by 1800, America had its first wood shortage. How did it happen? People had not known that trees were being cut down faster than new ones could grow.
Some American people made trips to foreign countries, and there they saw destroyed forests and learned the importance of protecting forests. They came back to the United States and warned that if Americans didn’t use trees more carefully and wisely, someday the forests would all be gone. However, people were not ready to listen. Years went by, and America’s forests kept disappearing. It made some people really worried. But they did nothing.
Finally, J. Sterling Morton, the man who is remembered as the father of Arbor Day, got people to listen. He named a day Tree-Planting Day, or Arbor Day. He worked hard to make Arbor Day a national holiday. On that day, people usually plant trees.
Today, millions of trees have been planted in the United States because of Arbor Day. It’s such a good idea that many other countries now also have Arbor Day. Many trees are being planted all over the world because of J. Sterling Morton’s work.

B. Because Americans didn’t use trees more carefully and wisely.
C. Because the forests in America kept disappearing year by year.
D. Because American people did nothing to protect forests.
7. What does the passage mainly talk about?

Hearing that Erin was coming for the silver wedding party, Mr. Joe and his wife got worried.
“Erin the thief!” said Mr. Joe to his wife. “Anything smaller than a table, and more expensive than paper, would finally be found in his bag.”
“He’s sure to come for the presents we’ve received,” added Mrs. Joe. “We can’t hide them all. How can we deal with him?”
“We must keep an eye on him,” said Mr. Joe.
As soon as Erin arrived, the couple started to keep a sharp lookout. After dinner, the three talked nervously from one boring topic to another in the living room.
Suddenly, Erin asked, “You’ve got so many presents. Can I take a look at those pretty silk scarves?”
“Only it’s annoying to have seven of them,” Mr. Joe blurted.
Erin studied the scarves carefully, lost in thought. The couple got more anxious.
After Erin went to sleep, Mrs. Joe counted the presents immediately. “I’m not sure if we’ve lost anything,” she doubted.
“He must have taken something,” claimed Mr. Joe angrily. “The awful pig hasn’t brought us a present. How dare he take anything from us?”
“Let’s go through his bag late at night,” Mrs. Joe suggested.
The search was a short one. They found a silk scarf carefully placed in the bag. Mrs. Joe quickly picked it up and put it into her pocket.
The next morning, Erin was late for breakfast. “Something’s been taken out of my bag,” he said. “It was a present I had prepared for your silver wedding, only it happened to be a scarf. You seemed annoyed at having so many, so I thought I’d get it changed, but now it’s gone.”
The couple turned deadly pale. Mrs. Joe ran to the living room and surprisingly, she found their seven scarves were still there. ________.
Mrs. Joe returned with Erin’s scarf. “This one is yours,” she went on. “It’s an unpleasant thing to say… Actually, we took it last night. It all started because there were some unkind words about you. It’s really shameful to go through your bag without asking.”
Erin’s eyes widened as he was listening. Mrs. Joe handed the scarf to Erin.
“Please take your scarf back. It’s unfair to you. Really hope you can forgive us for everything we did,” Mr. Joe said.
Erin refused the scarf with a smile. “It has always been for you. Please keep it. Just want you to know that people change.”

There are many games in which two teams compete to get control of a ball and shoot it into the other net to score a goal. Among them, one is played in the Summer Olympic Games, and its name is “hockey”.
The first sport we know like hockey was played in Egypt over 4,000 years ago. There were no records of the modern game until its appearance in English schools in the 18th century, and the first hockey club was formed in 1849 in London. During this time the game became popular among British soldiers, and they introduced it to many other countries. To this day, hockey is popular around the world.
In the hockey match, players use sticks to hit, push and pass a small, hard ball. Each team has up to 16 players, of which 11 can be on the pitch (赛场) at one time. These include a goalkeeper plus 10 field players. Field players must not use any body part to control the ball. Only goalkeepers can use their hands and feet to block (阻截) or hit the ball.
A hockey match usually lasts 70 minutes, with two 35-minute halves. The team with the most goals is the winner. Games can end in a draw, but if a winner must be found, such as in the World Cup or at the Olympics, a tied match will go into extra time, which is similar to some soccer games.
The most important competitions for hockey are the Olympic Games, the Hockey World Cup, and the Commonwealth Games. All of these competitions are held once every four years. The biggest of hockey’s yearly competitions is the Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey Tournament. It’s been held in Malaysia every year and teams from all over the world come to take part in it.
12. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. The history of hockey. B. Players in a hockey match.
C. How the game works. D. Important hockey competitions.
13. How many players will play on the pitch at one time in one game?
A. Ten. B. Eleven. C. Sixteen. D. Twenty-two.
14. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The modern records of hockey didn’t appear in the 18th century.
B. The hockey World Cup is held every year.
C. Draw means the situation that one team doesn’t score any goal in a game.
D. Goalkeepers can use their hands and feet to touch the ball.
15. What might be the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C

When settlers (移民) came to America during the 1600s, they were surprised to find so many trees. Some trees were so huge that a large man couldn’t put his arms around them. Those trees helped the settlers a lot. They were glad and thankful to have these trees. They used them to build houses and make fire. From the wood of the trees, they made furniture, tools and so on.
Most people thought the forests would last forever. However, by 1800, America had its first wood shortage. How did it happen? People had not known that trees were being cut down faster than new ones could grow.
Some American people made trips to foreign countries, and there they saw destroyed forests and learned the importance of protecting forests. They came back to the United States and warned that if Americans didn’t use trees more carefully and wisely, someday the forests would all be gone. However, people were not ready to listen. Years went by, and America’s forests kept disappearing. It made some people really worried. But they did nothing.
Finally, J. Sterling Morton, the man who is remembered as the father of Arbor Day, got people to listen. He named a day Tree-Planting Day, or Arbor Day. He worked hard to make Arbor Day a national holiday. On that day, people usually plant trees.
Today, millions of trees have been planted in the United States because of Arbor Day. It’s such a good idea that many other countries now also have Arbor Day. Many trees are being planted all over the world because of J. Sterling Morton’s work.
4. Why were settlers surprised when they came to America in the 1600s?
A. Because there were so many trees in America.
B. Because there were so many houses in America.
C. Because the trees there could be used to make a lot of tools.
D. Because the trees were so large that they had never seen them before.
5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Cutting down trees. B. A wood shortage. C. Growing new trees. D. Tree-Planting Day.
6. Why were the American people worried later?
A. Because they came to know the importance of protecting forests.
B. Because Americans didn’t use trees more carefully and wisely.
C. Because the forests in America kept disappearing year by year.
D. Because American people did nothing to protect forests.
7. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The first settlers’ life in America. B. The ways settlers used trees. C. Forests are disappearing in the United States. D. The history of Tree-Planting Day.

Hearing that Erin was coming for the silver wedding party, Mr. Joe and his wife got worried.
“Erin the thief!” said Mr. Joe to his wife. “Anything smaller than a table, and more expensive than paper, would finally be found in his bag.”
“He’s sure to come for the presents we’ve received,” added Mrs. Joe. “We can’t hide them all. How can we deal with him?”
“We must keep an eye on him,” said Mr. Joe.
As soon as Erin arrived, the couple started to keep a sharp lookout. After dinner, the three talked nervously from one boring topic to another in the living room.
Suddenly, Erin asked, “You’ve got so many presents. Can I take a look at those pretty silk scarves?”
“Only it’s annoying to have seven of them,” Mr. Joe blurted.
Erin studied the scarves carefully lost in thought. The couple got more anxious.
After Erin went to sleep, Mrs. Joe counted the presents immediately. “I’m not sure if we’ve lost anything,” she doubted.
“He must have taken something,” claimed Mr. Joe angrily. “The awful pig hasn’t brought us a present. How dare he take anything from us?”
“Let’s go through his bag late at night,” Mrs. Joe suggested.
The search was a short one. They found a silk scarf carefully placed in the bag. Mrs. Joe quickly picked it up and put it into her pocket.
The next morning, Erin was late for breakfast. “Something’s been taken out of my bag,” he said. “It was a present I had prepared for your silver wedding, only it happened to be a scarf. You seemed annoyed at having so many, so I thought I’d get it changed, but now it’s gone.”
The couple turned deadly pale. Mrs. Joe ran to the living room and surprisingly, she found their seven scarves were still there. ________.
Mrs. Joe returned with Erin’s scarf. “This one is yours,” she went on. “It’s an unpleasant thing to say… Actually, we took it last night. It all started because there were some unkind words about you. It’s really shameful to go through your bag without asking.”
Erin’s eyes widened as he was listening. Mrs. Joe handed the scarf to Erin.
“Please take your scarf back. It’s unfair to you. Really hope you can forgive us for everything we did,” Mr. Joe said.
Erin refused the scarf with a smile. “It has always been for you. Please keep it. Just want you to know that people change.”

There are many games in which two teams compete to get control of a ball and shoot it into the other net to score a goal. Among them, one is played in the Summer Olympic Games, and its name is “hockey”.
The first sport we know like hockey was played in Egypt over 4,000 years ago. There were no records of the modern game until its appearance in English schools in the 18th century, and the first hockey club was formed in 1849 in London. During this time the game became popular among British soldiers, and they introduced it to many other countries. To this day, hockey is popular around the world.
In the hockey match, players use sticks to hit, push and pass a small, hard ball. Each team has up to 16 players, of which 11 can be on the pitch (赛场) at one time. These include a goalkeeper plus 10 field players. Field players must not use any body part to control the ball. Only goalkeepers can use their hands and feet to block (阻截) or hit the ball.
A hockey match usually lasts 70 minutes, with two 35-minute halves. The team with the most goals is the winner. Games can end in a draw, but if a winner must be found, such as in the World Cup or at the Olympics, a tied match will go into extra time, which is similar to some soccer games.
The most important competitions for hockey are the Olympic Games, the Hockey World Cup, and the Commonwealth Games. All of these competitions are held once every four years. The biggest of hockey’s yearly competitions is the Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey Tournament. It’s been held in Malaysia every year and teams from all over the world come to take part in it.
12. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. The history of hockey. B. Players in a hockey match.
C. How the game works. D. Important hockey competitions.
13. How many players will play on the pitch at one time in one game?
A. Ten. B. Eleven. C. Sixteen. D. Twenty-two.
14. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The modern records of hockey didn’t appear in the 18th century.
B. The hockey World Cup is held every year.
C. Draw means the situation that one team doesn’t score any goal in a game.
D. Goalkeepers can use their hands and feet to touch the ball.
15. What might be the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
