They are roller coasters, of course. Hundreds of roller coasters make people excited at theme parks around the country. The first roller coaster in the United States was a train. People built it in 1800 in order to carry coal (煤) down a mountain. When it was no longer used as a coal train, it began a new life as an amusement (娱乐) ride. It went 18 miles downhill at a speed of 6 miles per hour. The entire ride lasted almost three hours. Modern coaster tracks (轨道) are measured (计量) in feet rather than miles. The rides last minutes instead of hours, but they are far more exciting. Some reach a speed of 100 miles per hour. People started building real roller coasters in the 1880s. Some gave such a wild ride that people often got hurt on them. Today’s roller coasters are not dangerous. Safety bars(座椅) and harnesses (安全带) hold riders in place.

The man was called Agathon, which in Greek means “good and kind.” Agathon was a miller (磨坊主), and he worked hard at his mill every day. The boy was called Tebelis. Most boys liked to be active playing with their friends and even helping at home. Tebelis liked none of these things. Instead, he liked to sleep. He slept in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening. People said Tebelis was the laziest boy in all of Greece. In fact, his very name meant “lazy.” Summer turned to fall, and people began bringing their grain to Agathon’s mill. Agathon placed the grain on a large, flat stone. He placed another stone, called a millstone, on top. He then tied a cow to the millstone. As the cow turned the millstone, the grain turned into soft flour (面粉). Some said that Agathon’s flour was the finest in the land. One morning, Agathon took a trip to visit a friend. He left Tebelis in charge of the mill. “Take care, my son,” Agathon said before he left. “Watch the cow carefully. She can be lazy, just like you. Make sure she keeps working.” Tebelis watched the cow. At first, she turned the millstone quickly. Then she started moving slower, slower, slower. Finally, she stopped moving. The cow seemed tired and sick. “Well,” Tebelis smiled, “I suppose that’s enough work for one day.” He lay down on the ground and closed his eyes. Suddenly, Alexander, the King of Greece and his men came, they asked Tebelis to mill some grain. Unluckily, Tebelis’s cow was sick. But Alexander smiled. “I’m sure you will think of something. This afternoon, you will have grain, and you will have one week to mill it.” He bowed deeply as the king and his men hurried away. Then he sat on the ground, shaking, tears filling his eyes. All day, Tebelis replayed the scene over and over in his mind. “There must be an answer,” he said to himself, but he knew the situation was hopeless. Finally, Tebelis had an idea and he built a watermill. The watermill was a great success. In just a few days, they managed to mill each and every basket of Alexander’s grain. 1．Why did people think Tebelis was the laziest boy in all of Greece before? 2．How did Agathon make flour at first? 3．How did Tebelis feel when the king ordered him to mill all the grain in a week? Why? 4．What did Tebelis do to solve the problem? 5．What do you think of Tebelis? 【答案】1．Because he liked sleeping all day. 2．By tying a cow to the millstone. 3．He felt hopeless because his cow was sick. 4．He built a watermill. 5．He’s lazy but smart. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了希腊一个农场里，磨坊主Agathon的儿子Tebelis原本很懒，但在国王命令他一周内磨完谷物时，他最终想出办法建造水磨解决了问题。 1．根据“Tebelis liked none of these things.

He and his followers set out on a journey in search of medicinally effective plants. Once, they saw a large forest on a high cliff (悬崖) from a distance. There must be many different kinds of plants, but they couldn’t find a way to the cliff. Suddenly, they saw some monkeys climbing along the vines and trees hanging down from the cliff. Shennong was inspired by the scene. He asked his followers to cut down the tree trunks and vines. Together they built scaffold (脚手架), with its help, they climbed to the cliff and collected many valuable plants. Each time the team found a new type of plant, Shennong would taste it himself. Some plants made him sleepy. Some caused him to suffer pains in his stomach. Some made him tremble (颤抖) all over. After searching and testing over a long period of time, he and his followers discovered hundreds of medicinal plants. As they continued their search, the team found a plant with small yellow flowers on a mountain. When a young man reached for it, the plant moved like a worm. Shennong picked off one piece from the plant in order to taste it. Other people tried to stop him, but Shennong said calmly, “It looks like a medicinal plant. I have to test it, or some people may misuse it.” Suddenly, Shennong’s face turned pale and he fell on the ground. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose. Even after he was given the leaves from other medicinal plants, he was still not able to recover. The emperor soon took his last breath. People covered him with thousands of flowers. From then on, they called him the “Emperor of Medicine”. 1．What could many people do when they fell ill when Shennong was the emperor? 2．Why did Shennong decide to find and test out different plants? 3．How did they climb to the cliff and collect valuable plants? 4．What was special about the plant with small yellow flowers? 5．How do you like Shennong? 【答案】325．Only wait for death. 326．To save his people./Because he wanted to save his people. 327． By building the scaffold./With the help of the scaffold. 328．It could move like a worm. 329．Brave./Great./Selfless. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了中国古代传说，即神农尝百草的故事。 1．根据“Many sick people could only wait for death.”可知，许多病人只能等待死亡。故填Only wait for death. 2．根据“To save his people, Shennong decided to find and test out different plants.”可知，为了拯救他的人民，神农决定找到并试验不同的植物。故填To save his people./Because he wanted to save his people. 3．根据“He asked his followers to cut down the tree trunks and vines.

They make people scream in fear, yet people pay for a chance to ride them. What are they? They are roller coasters, of course. Hundreds of roller coasters make people excited at theme parks around the country. The first roller coaster in the United States was a train. People built it in 1800 in order to carry coal (煤) down a mountain. When it was no longer used as a coal train, it began a new life as an amusement (娱乐) ride. It went 18 miles downhill at a speed of 6 miles per hour. The entire ride lasted almost three hours. Modern coaster tracks (轨道) are measured (计量) in feet rather than miles. The rides last minutes instead of hours, but they are far more exciting. Some reach a speed of 100 miles per hour. People started building real roller coasters in the 1880s. Some gave such a wild ride that people often got hurt on them. Today’s roller coasters are not dangerous. Safety bars(座椅) and harnesses (安全带) hold riders in place. In addition, workers spend four hours each day checking the coasters. In some parks, computers monitor (监控) the coasters throughout each ride. 根据短文内容，回答问题 （每题答案不超过5个词） 1．What was the first roller coaster used as in America? 2．What speed did some modern roller coasters reach? 3．When did real roller coasters start? 4．What are the safety bars and harnesses used to do? 5．What do you think of the roller coaster ride? 阅读下面短文，回答短文后的问题。1-5题每题答案不超过10个词。 I used to live in a small town with trees all around.

There was one thing that I just could not leave behind (留下): my cat Willow. There was a simple way to solve it—I went on a journey with my best animal friend! In the past 3 years, we have travelled over 70,000 kilometers around Australia. We have seen forests and beaches together. This year, we spent three months in the desert. I’m happy to go back to the beautiful beach, but I’m not sure what Willow thinks. Some people were surprised to find that I was travelling with a cat. I remember that once a backpacker (背包客) at a campsite shouted, “Excuse me, there is a cat trying to get into your van!” I know. The van, a tiny house on wheels, is our home. I built it by myself with a bed, cupboards, a kitchen—and plenty of places for a little cat to hide! It might be small, but the whole Australia is our garden. Willow enjoys exploring the places she has never visited, but she doesn’t like to go too far from our van. She loves to sit on the dashboard (仪表盘) to enjoy a great view. I put our photos on the Internet and look forward to hearing from people all over the world who are following our adventures. We are lucky. We always have each other and the whole Australia to see. I will treasure the memory for a lifetime. If Willow has taught me anything, it is that happiness doesn’t require much. A bit of food, shelter and a whole lot of love will be well enough. 1．Could the writer leave behind his house and job? 2．How far has the writer travelled in the past 3 years? 3．How did the backpacker feel when he saw Willow at a campsite? 4．Why does Willow love sitting on the dashboard? 5．What has the writer learned from his cat Willow? 请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。 Recently, “cloud tourism” has attracted (吸引) millions of people in China. “Cloud tourism” refers to a new form of f travel that depends on (依赖) high technologies such as 5G and virtual reality (虚拟现实).

The man was called Agathon, which in Greek means “good and kind.” Agathon was a miller (磨坊主), and he worked hard at his mill every day. The boy was called Tebelis. Most boys liked to be active playing with their friends and even helping at home. Tebelis liked none of these things. Instead, he liked to sleep. He slept in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening. People said Tebelis was the laziest boy in all of Greece. In fact, his very name meant “lazy.” Summer turned to fall, and people began bringing their grain to Agathon’s mill. Agathon placed the grain on a large, flat stone. He placed another stone, called a millstone, on top. He then tied a cow to the millstone. As the cow turned the millstone, the grain turned into soft flour (面粉). Some said that Agathon’s flour was the finest in the land. One morning, Agathon took a trip to visit a friend. He left Tebelis in charge of the mill. “Take care, my son,” Agathon said before he left. “Watch the cow carefully. She can be lazy, just like you. Make sure she keeps working.” Tebelis watched the cow. At first, she turned the millstone quickly. Then she started moving slower, slower, slower. Finally, she stopped moving. The cow seemed tired and sick. “Well,” Tebelis smiled, “I suppose that’s enough work for one day.” He lay down on the ground and closed his eyes. Suddenly, Alexander, the King of Greece and his men came, they asked Tebelis to mill some grain. Unluckily, Tebelis’s cow was sick. But Alexander smiled. “I’m sure you will think of something. This afternoon, you will have grain, and you will have one week to mill it.” He bowed deeply as the king and his men hurried away. Then he sat on the ground, shaking, tears filling his eyes. All day, Tebelis replayed the scene over and over in his mind. “There must be an answer,” he said to himself, but he knew the situation was hopeless. Finally, Tebelis had an idea and he built a watermill. The watermill was a great success. In just a few days, they managed to mill each and every basket of Alexander’s grain. 1．Why did people think Tebelis was the laziest boy in all of Greece before? 2．How did Agathon make flour at first? 3．How did Tebelis feel when the king ordered him to mill all the grain in a week? Why? 4．What did Tebelis do to solve the problem? 5．What do you think of Tebelis? One morning, as Mary was skipping slowly along the path, she heard the sound of music.
