I'm sure a visit to all these places will make your kids feel smarter.
A visit to Universal Studios Hollywood
Your kids could get to see interesting things from some of the most popular movies ever. From the theme park of Jurassic Park to Wisteria (紫藤)Lane from a popular TV play, Universal StudiosHollywood is a place that we all find wonderful.

On a hill 180 metres above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.
Every window in our wooden house has a view,and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.
There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.
Our kids have learnt the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple (枫木) makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.
The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass of juice a day and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.
The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in autumn and note the populars (杨树) put forth the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt (彩虹香鱼) fills the local river as the ice graduallydisappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.
24. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A. The scenes are colourful and changeable.
B. There are many windows in the wooden house.
C. The views remind the author that how small the house is.
D. The lakes outside the windows are quite different in colour.
25. What does the author aim to show by mentioning the names of the trees?
A. The kids like playing in trees.
B. The kids love to plant trees.
C. The kids have learnt much knowledge.
D. The kids find trees useful learning tools.
26. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A. The change of seasons is easily felt.
B. The weather makes the scenes change.
C. The weather often changes in the forest.
D. The door is a good position to enjoy changing seasons.
27. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To describe the beauty of the scene around the house.
B. To introduce her children's happy life in the forest.
C. To show that living in the forest is healthful.
D. To share the joy of living in nature.
C
Global warming is the increase of the earth's average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases, for example, carbon dioxide,which trap heat that would otherwise escape from the earth. After the trees are cut down and more greenhouse gases are released, the“blanket”around the earth called the ozone layer (臭氧层),will get thicker. This catches more heat and makes the earth hotter. Luckily, there are many things that every citizen of the earth can do to help reduce the effects of global warming, and it's never too late or too early for children to take action.
Children should learn what a carbon footprint is. A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide people produce as they lead the daily life and go about the normal activities. In other words,the carbon footprint is a measure of the environmental impact the life has. To live an environmentally friendly life that doesn't contribute to global warming, people want to have the smallest possible carbon footprint.
Almost everything people do contributes to global warming and is related to fossil fuel consumption. These can be the direct use of fossil fuels, like riding in a petrol-powered car, or indirect contributions to greenhouse gases, such as eating fruit or vegetables from far away.
If a child wants to make a contribution to reducing global warming, he should ride a bicycle to the nearby park, school, his friend's house, or anywhere else instead of taking the car. Or he may try to walk or jog, which is also helpful. In addition,although trains and buses often run on fossil fuels,on average, each person uses less energy and produces less pollution to run. Next time if children with their parents have to get around town or it's too far to walk or bike, take the bus or other public transport instead of asking for a ride.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. A brief description of the carbon footprint.
B. The serious water pollution.
C. The protection of the ozone layer.
D. The causes of global warming.
29. Which of the following is TRUE about the carbon footprint?
A. It has nothing to do with global warming.
B. It is about a new way of life.
C. It can be used to measure how life affects the environment.
D. It is more related to children.
30. What does the author suggest kids do to help reduce global warming?
A. Travel in a green way.
B. Avoid any transport using fossil fuels.
C. Eat fruit or vegetables from far away.
D. Stop the direct use of fossil fuels.
31. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. What can people do to save energy?
B. Why does global warming affect humans' life?
C. How can children help reduce global warming?
D. How does the carbon footprint measure pollution?
D
The elderly residents in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamt up by a local charity to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people's well-being. It is also being used to help patients suffering from dementia, a serious illness of the mind. The staff in care homes have reported a reduction (下降) in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is RuthXavier, who is in her 80s. She said, “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.”
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they' ve gone to bed.”
“It's good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them.I'm enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now hundreds of elderly people looking after hens in some care homes, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, one of the first to embark on the project, said,“Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways,said,“We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”
32. What is the purpose of the project?
A. To ensure harmony in care homes.
B. To promote the elderly people's health and happiness.
C. To raise money for medical research.
D. To provide part-time jobs for the old people.
33. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier?
A. She has gained a sense of achievement.
B. She has learnt new life skills.
C. She has recovered her memory.
D. She has developed a strong personality.
34. What do the underlined words“embark on”mean in Paragraph 7?
A. Improve.
B. Oppose.
C. Begin.
D. Acquire.
35. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?
A. It is highly profitable (有利可图的).
B. It needs to be more creative.
C. It is well received.
D. It takes ages to see the results.

How to be a green kid?
What does it mean to be green? Green is more than just a colour. 36 Why green? Plants are green, and without them the earth wouldn't be such a lovely home for us human beings. Here's a four-step guide to being green.
Reduce it!
37 For example, a shorter shower means you use less water and less fuel because your house uses fuel to run the water heater that warms up the water.
Reuse it!
Sometimes people call ours a“throwaway society”. It means that we' re always throwing away old stuff and buying new stuff. 38 For example,if your baby brother doesn't like his toys, why not give them to another family who has a little kid?
Recycle it!
Recycling has never been easier. Some communities may pick up things that are to be recycled right in front of your house and some towns even require them. Recycled things go to a recycling centre, where they can be turned into new cans,bottles, and paper.
Enjoy it!
It's true that pollution is a problem, but the earth is still a large and beautiful place for you to explore. 39 Go for a hike, visit local parks and gardens, climb up mountains and so on.
But before you travel the globe, take a look at your own backyard. Is there a spot where you could plant a tree or put in a little fruit or vegetable garden? If so, get out there and get your hands dirty. 40
A. Choose reusable travel cups.
B. Turn off the water when you brush your teeth.
C. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment.
D. You can start by visiting the naturally beautiful places in your city or state.
E. When you use less of something, you do a good thing for the earth.
F. Then you can watch with pride as your tree takes root and your garden plants grow.
G. Many times, even if you no longer need something, someone else just might need it.

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a Sunday afternoon, Kiana French was having fun fishing with her father and younger sister, not knowing the next minute, they would struggle not to sink in the freezing water. Their boat was taking in water little by little, and the wind was picking up. Her father, Gary French, hurried to operate the engine, while Kiana, 16, was in the middle with Cella, her sister, frightened but still able to keep calm.
Kiana asked Cella to take off one of her cowboy boots, with which she got some of the water out.Hard as she tried, that little effort would not help stop the boat sinking. Moments later, the unthinkable happened. The boat was full of water and then it flipped over. Kiana and her sister were dumped in the water. Their father, who had had surgery six months ago, managed not to be thrown into the water but seemed to have a terrible pain in the chest due to the sudden change.
Kiana quickly put on her life jacket and sawCella's and her father's life jackets floating away.She reacted quickly to get them back and held her sister onto the boat. They were so far out in the middle of the lake that they could not see the shore clearly. What's worse, it was getting harder to stay above the waves. Their father swam over and hugged his two girls, Cella crying silently. Kiana heard her beloved sister murmur,“I can't feel my feet.”
Kiana knew the only thing to do was to get to shore herself and find help. She looked up at her father, exchanging a concerned glance, turned round and swam as hard as she could towards the shore.
Fighting against the strong currents and cold wind, she screamed for help at the top of her voice every three minutes or so. A strong wind blew, and she looked back only to see her sister's and father's heads bobbing (起伏) in the water. She burst into tears, thinking her sister and dad were dead,because she was taking too long.
注意:
续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
With desperate tears, she suddenly spotted a boat with a figure walking on it.
Paragraph 2:
Once rescued, they were rushed to shore,where a concerned group waited for their arrival.

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
With desperate tears, she suddenly spotted a boat with a figure walking on it. She waved and cried for help with all her strength. It seemed like a century later when she heard someone yelling back to her. As the boat was approaching, Kiana pointed to her father and sister and someone screamed,“They are in the water! Help!” She was soon picked up and taken towards where her father and sister were. Fortunately, they didn't drown but her father seemed to be worn out, with one hand holding tight to the boat, the other holding Cella.
Paragraph 2:
Once rescued, they were rushed to shore, where a concerned group waited for their arrival. They were wrapped in blankets,and then the ambulance arrived. Kiana, her sister and her father were checked on the spot and finally sent to the nearest hospital.Later, when asked what drove her on, in the cold water and in great panic, Kiana said she thought it had to do with the emotional support from her family.“I just wanted to save my family. I didn't want anything bad to happen to them. So Icouldn't spare a second to worry or fear in an emergency,” she said.
