His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift — $7,000,a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financially.” says Dave. But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in other, it was more than $100,000. It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3million — they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm. Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving, They thrived on (喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase . Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked you needed anything,” says their friend Sand Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.” Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy — a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents — should enrich the whole community (社区) and Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story. Neighbors helping neighbors — that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story 36. According to the text, the Fusses . A. worked in a school cafeteria B. were in financial difficulty C. were employed by a truck company D. lost their home 37. Which of the following is true of the Hatches? A. They had their children during the Great Depression B. They gave away their possessions to their neighbors C. They left the family farm to live in an old house D. They helped their neighbors to find jobs 38. Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store? A. They decided to open a store B. They wanted to save money C. They couldn’t afford expensive things D. They wanted to buy gifts for local kids 39. According to Sand Van Weelden, the Hatches were A. understanding B. optimistic C. childlike D. curious 40. What can we learn from the text? A. The community of Alto was poor B. The summer camp was attractive to the parents C. Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches D. The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their example 【答案】36. B 37. B 38. B 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述哈奇夫妇慷慨捐赠遗产帮助邻里，用善意温暖整个社区的感人故事。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$7,000,a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financially.” says Dave. (他的妻子格里还在当地学校的食堂上班，但戴夫的工作机会却很稀缺，而且所有东西的物价都在上涨。福斯夫妇险些就要加入近年来数百万流离失所的美国人的行列。就在这时，戴夫和格里收到了一份及时的馈赠 ——7000 美元，这是他们的邻居伊什・哈奇和阿琳・哈奇夫妇在一场事故中不幸离世后留下的遗产。戴夫说：“在我们经济陷入困境的关头，这笔钱真的起到了至关重要的作用。”)”可知，福斯夫妇当时处于经济困境中。故选B项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity. (但福斯夫妇并不是奥拓镇和邻近的洛厄尔镇唯一收到哈奇夫妇意外遗产的人，数十个其他家庭也感受到了哈奇夫妇的慷慨)”可知，哈奇夫妇将自己的财产捐赠给了邻居们。故选B项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving, They thrived on comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase. (作为大萧条时期的孩子，伊什和阿琳以节俭的习惯闻名。他们热衷于比价购物，经常逛完一家又一家商店，在购买新东西之前先查看价格)”可知，哈奇夫妇经常逛多家商店是为了比价省钱。故选B项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中桑德·范·威尔登的话“Ish and Arlene never asked you needed anything, They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them. (伊什和阿琳从不问别人需要什么，他们能发现自己可以做些什么来让别人更快乐，然后就去做)”可知，哈奇夫妇善于体察他人需求，十分善解人意。故选A项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy — a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents — should enrich the whole community (哈奇夫妇的愿望是，他们的遗产——既是一笔金钱遗产，也是一份善意遗产——能够造福整个社区)”以及最后一段“Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story. (邻里互助——这就是伊什和阿琳·哈奇的故事)”可推知，哈奇夫妇希望邻居们能传承他们的善意，以互助精神温暖社区。故选D项。 For a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.” Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion. First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding（追击）ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me. Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt. And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog? I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape. 41. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood ______. A. jogging became very popular B. people jogged only during the daytime C. Alex organized an army of joggers D. jogging provided a chance to get together 42. The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____. A. heart attacks B. Back problems C. famous joggers D. physical weaknesses 43. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning? A. He felt it was worth a try. B. He was very fond of it. C. He was strongly against it. D. He thought it must be painful. 44. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later? A. He disliked doing exercise outside. B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting. C. He was afraid of having a heart attack. D. He was worried about being left alone. 45. From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______. A. not everyone enjoys jogging B. he is the only person who hates jogging C. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit D. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport. 【答案】41.

They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening.说明社区里慢跑的人特别多，故A正确。 【42题详解】 D 推理题。根据本句if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.说明慢跑能把你的physical weaknesses带出来，故D正确。 【43题详解】 A 推理题。根据第二段1,2行I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more.说明在开始的时候作者认真的对待慢跑，想试着准备跑两个月，故A正确。 【44题详解】 .Ｂ推理题。根据3,4两段。第三段第一行First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. 和第四段第一行Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging说明他认为慢跑对身体有害也没有快乐，故B正确。 【45题详解】 A 总结归纳题。根据文章内容可知一些人认为慢跑很好，而像作者这样的人却认为慢跑没有意义，故并不是所有的人都喜欢慢跑，故A正确。 考点：考查健康保健类阅读 点评：文章介绍了在作者的社区里有很多人开始了慢跑，刚开始的时候作者也加入了，不过后来作者发现慢跑也有很多的缺点。要求考生仔细阅读，注意作者的对话中的言外之意，把握每一段的中心思想。 At a certain time in our lives, we consider every place as the possible sites for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices. The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it. The real attraction of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apples trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said. I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not. 46. What do we know about the author? A. He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived. B. He made a study of many farms before buying. C. He made money by buying and selling farms. D. He had the money to buy the best farm in the country. 47. Why did the author decide to buy the Hollowell place? A. It was of good market value. B. It was next to the highway. C. It was in a good position. D. It was behind a nice garden. 48. Why did the author want to buy the farm in a hurry? A. He was afraid the owner might change his mind. B. He hoped to enlarge the forest on the farm. C. He wanted to keep the farm as it was. D. He was eager to become a farm owner. 49. The underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refer to ___. A. the money the author lost in buying the farm B. the sale of the garden in the Hollowell place C. the removal of the trees around the house D. the failure to possess the Hollowell place 50. What does the author believe as important in life? A. To own a farm. B. To satisfy his needs. C. To be free from worries. D. To live in the countryside. 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. C 49. D 50. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者想要买下霍罗威尔农场，最终却因为农场主人的妻子没有完成这笔交易。作者也从中认识到生活中最重要的是没有烦恼。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“At a certain time in our lives, we consider every place as the possible sites for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live.(在我们生活的某一时刻，我们把每一个地方都看作是建造房子的可能地点。我就这样在我住的地方方圆十几英里的地方找遍了)”可知，他在购买前对许多农场进行了研究。故选B。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The real attraction of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field.(霍罗威尔农场真正吸引我的地方是它的位置，离村子大约两英里，离最近的邻居半英里，一边以河为界，与公路之间有一片宽阔的田野隔开)”可知，作者决定购买霍罗威尔农场是因为它的位置很好。故选C。 48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apples trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.(我记得在我最早沿河而上的时候，这所房子曾经隐藏在一片林区后面，我急于在房主搬出一些石头、砍掉苹果树、清理掉田里长出的一些幼树之前买下它。我想在他做任何改进之前买下它。但结果正如我所说的那样)”可知，作者想匆忙买下农场因为他想保持农场原样。故选C。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him.(但在物主和我完成交易之前，他的妻子改变了主意，希望保留它，他给了我额外的美元，让我把农场还给他)”以及画线词上文“I was not really troubled by”可知，作者最终没有拥有霍罗威尔农场，但却并不为此而烦恼，故画线词意思是“没有拥有霍罗威尔”。故选D。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.(我相信，只要有可能，自由自在地生活更好。你是否拥有一个农场并没有什么影响)”可知，作者认为生活中最重要的是没有烦恼。故选C。 V.阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye. NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind: Curiosity. I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…” Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face. On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA. Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space. People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon. 51. How did Clara get the news about the essay contest? (no more than 10 words) 52. Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA? (no more than 10 words) 53. What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma? (no more than 15 words) 54. What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean? (1 word) 55. In your opinion, why is curiosity important? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】51. By reading a Time for Kids magazine. Or: From a Time for Kids magazine 52. She won the essay contest held by NASA. Or: She named the Mars rover “Curiosity”. Or: “Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover. 53. She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about stars. Or: Her grandma told her stories about stars. Or: They sat together talking about stars. 54. Stay/Remain/Live/Hide 55. Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or inventions. Or: With curiosity, we keep asking questions and exploring the world unknown. Or: Curiosity drives us through our lives so that we never stop wondering about the things beyond our knowledge. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文通过克拉拉所提出的“好奇号”被选为火星探测器的名字。告诉人们好奇心的重要性。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye.”我早早地完成了作业，拿起了儿童时代杂志。一条消息吸引了我的眼球。由此可知，克拉拉是通过童时代杂志得到征文比赛的消息的。故答案为：By reading a Time for Kids magazine. Or: From a Time for Kids magazine. 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.”可知，2012年8月5日晚上10点31分，名为“好奇”号的火星车安全降落在火星表面，我很荣幸能在美国宇航局获得前排座位。由此可知，为什么克拉拉在美国宇航局获得前排座位是因为她在美国宇航局举办的论文竞赛中获胜。故答案为：She won the essay contest held by NASA. Or: She named the Mars rover “Curiosity”. Or: “Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover. 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars”可知，我记得当我还是个小女孩的时候，我和祖母会在后院一起坐上几个小时。她会给我讲故事并指出星星。故答案为：She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about stars. Or: Her grandma told her stories about stars. Or: They sat together talking about stars. 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.”可知，我们不断地在想，并试图找出山那边、地平线那边是什么。所以我们人类不能老呆在一个地方。故答案为：Stay/Remain/Live/Hide. 【55题详解】 开放性试题。根据最后一段“People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.”可知，人们经常问我为什么要去火星这样遥远的地方。我的答案很简单，因为我们都很好奇。我们人类不会躲在一个地方。我们不断地在想，并试图找出山那边、地平线那边是什么。由此判断出，为什么好奇心是如此的重要是因为怀着好奇心，我们不断地问问题，探索未知的世界。故答案为：Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or inventions. Or: With curiosity, we keep asking questions and exploring the world unknown. Or: Curiosity drives us through our lives so that we never stop wondering about the things beyond our knowledge. 56. 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津。一位外国游客近日在Understanding China网站上发布短视频，赞叹科技在中国人购物、出行、学习等方面的广泛应用，一位名为 Chris的网友在评论区询问是否确实如此。请根据以下提示留言： （1）对视频反映的情况予以肯定； （2）介绍科技在你生活中应用； （3）希望国际友人来中国亲身体验。 试题词汇：短视频 video clip 注意： （1）词数不少于100； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 Li Jin @ Chris Posted on Mar. 15 202411: 00 AM _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Chris, What you see in the video clip is all true.

His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift — $7,000,a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financially.” says Dave. But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in other, it was more than $100,000. It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3million — they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm. Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving, They thrived on (喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase . Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked you needed anything,” says their friend Sand Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.” Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy — a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents — should enrich the whole community (社区) and Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story. Neighbors helping neighbors — that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story. 36. According to the text, the Fusses . A. worked in a school cafeteria B. were in financial difficulty C. were employed by a truck company D. lost their home 37. Which of the following is true of the Hatches? A. They had their children during the Great Depression B. They gave away their possessions to their neighbors C. They left the family farm to live in an old house D. They helped their neighbors to find jobs 38. Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store? A. They decided to open a store B. They wanted to save money C. They couldn’t afford expensive things D. They wanted to buy gifts for local kids 39. According to Sand Van Weelden, the Hatches were A. understanding B. optimistic C. childlike D. curious 40. What can we learn from the text? A. The community of Alto was poor B. The summer camp was attractive to the parents C. Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches D. The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their example For a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.” Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion. First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding（追击）ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me. Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt. And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog? I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape. 41. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood ______. A. jogging became very popular B. people jogged only during the daytime C. Alex organized an army of joggers D. jogging provided a chance to get together 42. The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____. A. heart attacks B. Back problems C. famous joggers D. physical weaknesses 43. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning? A. He felt it was worth a try. B. He was very fond of it. C. He was strongly against it. D. He thought it must be painful. 44. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later? A He disliked doing exercise outside. B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting. C. He was afraid of having a heart attack. D. He was worried about being left alone. 45. From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______. A. not everyone enjoys jogging B. he is the only person who hates jogging C. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit D. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport. At a certain time in our lives, we consider every place as the possible sites for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices. The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it. The real attraction of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apples trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said. I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden but I don’t think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not. 46. What do we know about the author? A. He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived. B. He made a study of many farms before buying. C. He made money by buying and selling farms. D. He had the money to buy the best farm in the country. 47. Why did the author decide to buy the Hollowell place? A. It was of good market value. B. It was next to the highway. C. It was in a good position. D. It was behind a nice garden. 48.

V.阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题 My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye. NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind: Curiosity. I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…” Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face. On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA. Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space. People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon. 51. How did Clara get the news about the essay contest? (no more than 10 words) 52.
