In the book club, I read a famous story. Let’s read it together.] Dorothy and her friends are on their journey. They are walking together to a new place. They cross green fields full of flowers and butterflies. The lion is very happy to be out of the city and in the country again. Toto is happy, too. But soon, they meet a problem on the way. On the second day of their journey, they come to a forest. It’s very big and very dark. They are afraid but they know that they must go through it. The Scarecrow goes first. He finds a space between two big trees. “Come on!” he says. “We can go in here.” Suddenly a big branch (树枝) of one of the trees bends down (弯曲), picks him up and throws him on the ground. He finds another space and tries again. The same thing happens. A branch bends down, picks him up and throws him on the ground. “That’s strange”, Dorothy says. “What can we do?” “Let me try!” the Tin Woodman says. He goes up to the first tree. When the branch bends down to pick him up, he cuts it off with his axe. The tree starts shaking. The Tin Woodman quickly runs under its branches and goes into the forest. “Follow me! Now it can’t catch us.” he shouts. “These trees try to keep people out of the forest.” The other trees don’t hurt them, and the friends walk through the forest without any problems. In this way, they find a way to go on with their journey. — Adapted from The Wonderful Wizard of OZ. 1．When Dorothy and her friends see the forest first, how do they feel? A．Excited. B．Afraid.

Zhangjiajie: The Real Avatar Mountains Deep in Hunan Province, there is a magical place called Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. It is China’s first national forest park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site (联合国教科文组织世界遗产地). People call it “the real Avatar mountains” because the movie Avatar got ideas from here. The park is famous for its more than 3,000 quartz sandstone pillars (石英砂岩峰柱). Some of them are over 200 meters tall. They look like huge stone trees growing towards the sky. Often, clouds and mist (云雾) wrap around the pillars, making the view look like a fairyland (仙境). Visitors can take the Bailong Elevator (百龙电梯) to get a bird’s-eye view. It is the world’s tallest outdoor elevator, built right on the side of a cliff (悬崖). The ride takes only 1 minute and 58 seconds, but it gives you an amazing view.

He looked sad and tired and his face was white. Mary knew that this was the moment to tell him everything. “Can I trust you?” Mary asked. “Yes—yes!” he whispered. “Dickon is coming to see you tomorrow. And also … I … I found the door into the secret garden.” Colin’s eyes grew bigger and bigger. Mary went on, “Colin, we’re going to take you there!” The next day, a strong servant (仆人) carried Colin downstairs and put him in his wheelchair. Dickon was waiting for him outside. Dickon pushed the wheelchair slowly and carefully. Mary walked next to it. They went across the lawn to the long road near the wall. “This is where I walked up and down looking for the door,” whispered Mary. They walked a bit further then Mary whispered again: “The robin flew over the wall here. And there,” she said, pointing under a big bush in the flower bed, “is where I found the key”. Then Dickon stopped pushing the chair. “And look!” Mary moved the ivy branch (常春藤树枝). “Here is the door. Dickon, push him in—push him in quickly!” When they were inside the garden, Colin looked round and round. He saw the walls and the earth and the trees with their new green leaves. In the grass under the trees there were flowers—gold and purple and white. The trees were covered in pink and white flowers. The sun was warm on his face. Mary and Dickon looked at him. He looked different. His face was pink, not white. “Mary! Dickon! I’m going to get well!” Colin suddenly cried. “And I’m going to live forever and ever!” Dickon pushed his wheelchair slowly round and round the garden. He often stopped to show Colin something—green buds(嫩芽), a feather, an empty eggshell. “I’m going to come back tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after,” said Colin. 1．The underlined sentence in paragraph 5 shows that Colin was ________. A．glad to see Mary again B．afraid of meeting Dickon C．tired and didn’t feel well D．interested in the secret garden 2．Which is the right order of the following events? a. Dickon pushed the wheelchair across the lawn. b. Colin told Mary and Dickon he would get well. c. Colin was carried downstairs and put in his wheelchair. d.

C．He found a special plant for his illness. D．He could walk around the garden himself. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Mary带Colin去秘密花园，Colin在花园里感受到生机与希望，认为自己会好起来的故事。 1．文章第五段“Colin’s eyes grew bigger and bigger.”以及后文Mary说“Colin, we’re going to take you there!”可知，Colin听到要去秘密花园后眼睛越睁越大，这表明他对秘密花园很感兴趣。 2．根据文章内容，先是“a strong servant (仆人) carried Colin downstairs and put him in his wheelchair.”即Colin被抬下楼并放进轮椅，对应c；接着“Dickon pushed the wheelchair slowly and carefully. Mary walked next to it. They went across the lawn...”即Dickon推着轮椅穿过草坪，对应a；然后“Mary moved the ivy branch (常春藤树枝). ‘Here is the door...’”即Mary移动常春藤树枝，展示给他们门，对应d；再接着“When they were inside the garden, Colin looked round and round. He saw the walls and the earth and the trees with their new green leaves...”即Colin在花园里看到树和花很兴奋，对应e；最后“‘Mary! Dickon! I’m going to get well!’ Colin suddenly cried.”即Colin告诉Mary和Dickon他会好起来，对应b。所以正确顺序是c-a-d-e-b。 3．文章中Colin进入花园后，看到“the trees with their new green leaves. In the grass under the trees there were flowers—gold and purple and white. The trees were covered in pink and white flowers. The sun was warm on his face.”花园里充满生机，这让他感到有希望，所以说“I’m going to get well”。 [Besides daily life, reading classic books is also an important part of our learning. In the book club, I read a famous story. Let’s read it together.] Dorothy and her friends are on their journey. They are walking together to a new place. They cross green fields full of flowers and butterflies. The lion is very happy to be out of the city and in the country again. Toto is happy, too. But soon, they meet a problem on the way. On the second day of their journey, they come to a forest. It’s very big and very dark. They are afraid but they know that they must go through it. The Scarecrow goes first. He finds a space between two big trees. “Come on!” he says. “We can go in here.” Suddenly a big branch (树枝) of one of the trees bends down (弯曲), picks him up and throws him on the ground. He finds another space and tries again. The same thing happens. A branch bends down, picks him up and throws him on the ground. “That’s strange”, Dorothy says. “What can we do?” “Let me try!” the Tin Woodman says. He goes up to the first tree. When the branch bends down to pick him up, he cuts it off with his axe. The tree starts shaking. The Tin Woodman quickly runs under its branches and goes into the forest. “Follow me! Now it can’t catch us.” he shouts. “These trees try to keep people out of the forest.” The other trees don’t hurt them, and the friends walk through the forest without any problems. In this way, they find a way to go on with their journey. — Adapted from The Wonderful Wizard of OZ. 1．When Dorothy and her friends see the forest first, how do they feel? A．Excited. B．Afraid.

It’s a great example of Han Chinese cities in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is one of China’s four best-preserved old cities. Here are three must-see places in this ancient city. Built in 1823, Rishengchang Draft Bank (票号), China’s first bank-like organization, is located on West Street in the Ancient City of Pingyao. The shop kept running for over 100 years. The business had expanded to Europe, the US and many Southeast Asian countries. It is regarded as a pioneer of China’s banking history. Today, the former “bank” has become a museum where visitors can learn about China’s banking history. The ancient city walls of Pingyao are about 12 meters high and more than 6 kilometers long. In the past, these walls were built to protect the city from enemies. They are also surrounded by a 4-meter-wide and 4-meter-deep moat (护城河) just outside the walls. The ancient city walls are among the best-preserved city walls in China. If you want to take pictures from the walls, it’s best to go in the afternoon. The view of the old houses at sunset is amazing. South Street, also known as Mingqing Street, is a nationally famous historical and cultural street. At one time, more than 50% of China’s financial institutions (金融机构) were located on this street, giving it the nickname of China’s “Wall Street”. Looking south, the street keeps its traditional design. It is lined with towering houses and 78 time-honored shops. Some of the ancient buildings are over a century old.
