    Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
    Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it's just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.
    Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's sake （缘故）, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's safety seemed admirable. I couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.     
    Since then, I've always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.
    小题1:Why did the writer change his direction while walking down a path?
    A．To get close to a butterfly.B．To look over the bad situation.
    C．To escape a sudden attack.D．To avoid getting his shoes dirty.
    小题2:What made the man feel funny?
    A．Making the attacker pause.B．Being attacked by a butterfly.
    C．Being stepped on by his mate.D．Discovering the energetic butterfly.
    小题3:From this experience the man learned       .
    A．what he should do when faced with trouble
    B．people should show sympathy to the weak
    C．how he should deal with attacks
    D．people should protect butterflies
    小题4: Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?
    A．Careless.B．Amusing.C．Courageous. D．Aggressive.

    It was an unforgettable experience. By the time we made it to the 36  , my hands were wet. I 37   he would remember everything I had taught him over and over again. 38 he stopped and asked, “So, Mom, how do you like my 39 ?”
    I must admit that his performance was 40 . He had both hands on the wheel. His eyes never left the highway and his handling was far better than I’d ever imagined it would be, 41 it still needed improving.
    Several 42 ago, I was teaching him to ride his bike. We started 43 . The third grade primary school student was 44 that his training wheels were taken off. Of course it was a long evening. He 45 several times but always got up quickly and kept 46 until he mastered riding.
    Viewing the 47 , I guess it really wasn’t about him driving. It was about him 48 ---gaining more and more independence; not 49 me so much anymore.
    He will be a(n) 50 in high school this fall. This will truly be a 51 year for both of us. He’s ready to have one of the best years of his young life and I will have (a) complete mental 52 . For this is probably the last year that my baby will be at home on a(n) 53 basis.
    After this school year, he’ll go to college and then into the real world. Things all happen so 54  .
    Now I see the time has just arrived for him to perform what he’s learned.
    So, I guess you could say his driving lessons are lessons for me too. Yes, I’m being 55  that it’s his time to drive through life’s green lights and move towards his future as smoothly and skillfully as possible.

    Wherever in the world you’re reading this right now, you will be aware of just how mixed modern society has become in terms of race.

They made each other happy. And that was all that   4 .
    But the reason why they were together for 11 years before they got   5  is that Hari was afraid of telling her   6  about the person that she’d fallen in love with. She was afraid of the consequences it would   7  for her younger sisters. Would they be packed off to India? Would they end up in arranged   8  they may not want? At 22 years old, when she first fell in love with him — it was a large burden to   9 .
    But she loved him, and   10  they moved in together… and then bought a house by the Brighton coast, where they have   11  for almost 8 years. All the while her parents didn’t know. Her sisters did, and they too loved Joseph — they   12  him as the brother they’d never had.
    But after nine years together, she finally had to tell her father (her mother   13  away a few years ago). We were on tenderhooks（惶恐不安）the weekend she went up North to tell him.
    It was emotional and as a family we were worried. Hari had been   14  of our family for so long, we felt for her. We knew how   15  it would be. She loved her father, but knew this would hurt him, who was a very traditional Sikh man.

    At about 4 am, after hours of being unable to sleep, of shivering in the cold mountain air and trying to silence my crying kids who kept waking up, of attempting to find a comfortable sleeping position, of listening to whether there might have been a bear outside our tent, I finally couldn’t stand it any more. I complained, “Everything has gone wrong.”
    My wife and I were in one tent with our two young kids. A hundred yards east away was Summit Lake, where the glorious early morning mist was shimmering（闪烁）off the water. A couple miles to the southwest was the base of the Lassen Peak Trail. The base was 8,000 feet above sea level, and huge snow dotted the scenery even in mid August. Further west still was Bumpass Hell, with steam rising up.
    As the sun crept up over the edge of the Lassen peak, we fired up the camp stove and had breakfast. Half an hour later, my six-year-old daughter and I were in the parking lot of the Lassen peak trail, getting ready to go up the mountainside. We wouldn’t make it all the way, but it didn’t matter. We would see nature at its extremes: the volcanic ash that layered on the earth turning the melting snow a mysterious pink as the sun struck it; the blues of the sky shading into the blues of distant lakes, which in turn shaded into the whites and grays of the snow.
    My daughter grabbed my camera. She wanted to take a photo of “the composite（混合物）”of colors. Looking out over that scenery, and seeing my daughter fascinated by nature, I felt stupid about my morning complaints.
    Yes, camping is uncomfortable. And yes, there’s a lot to be said for getting out a credit card,reserving a room in a nice hotel, and going out for a fancy meal. But there’s also something wonderful about being so close to raw nature. And , as important, there’s something vital about getting young children out of their increasingly modern comfort zones and forcing them to meet the world around them.
    小题1:.According to the passage, what contributed to the author’s sleeplessness ?
    ①the cold weather       ②his crying children          ③fear of bears            
    ④sounds of bears      ⑤the aches of his lower back      ⑥his own complaints
    A．①④⑥B．①②③C．②④⑤D．②③⑤
    小题2:.Which of the following maps correctly shows the places ?

    小题3:.The underlined word “colors” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______ .
    A．blue, white, gray and pinkB．white, yellow, gray and pink
    C．white, green ,gray and pinkD．blue, green,white and gray
    小题4:.How did the author’s feeling change from the beginning to the end ?
    A．Calm→Satisfied.B．Excited→Frustrated.
    C．Sad→Calm.D．Regretful→Satisfied.
    小题5:.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage ?
    A．Nature is the glass reflecting truth.
    B．Nature is the best scenery designer.
    C．The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.
    D．A bad beginning makes a bad ending.

    As I sat beside the window of our classroom that afternoon, my heart sank further with each passing car. This was a day I’d looked forward to for weeks: Miss Pace’s fourth-grade, end-of-the-year party.
    I had happily volunteered my mother when Miss Pace looked for cookie volunteers. Mom’s chocolate chips were well-known, and I knew they’d be a hit with my classmates. But two o’clock passed, and there was no sign of her. Most of the other mothers had already come and gone, dropping off their sweet offerings.
    The three o’clock bell soon took me away from my thoughts and I took my book bag from my desk.
    I decided I would slam the front door, and refuse to return her hug. But when I arrived, she wasn’t at home.
    I was lying face-down on my bed upstairs when I heard her come through the front door.
    “Robbie,” she called out a bit urgently. “Where are you?”
    I could then hear her rushing anxiously from room to room, wondering where I could be. I remained silent.
    Coming through the door, she said: “I’m so sorry, honey,” she said. “I just forgot. I got busy and forgot.”
    Then my mother did something completely unexpected. She began to laugh! How could she laugh at a time like this? I rolled over and faced her, ready to let her see my rage (愤怒).
    But my mother wasn’t laughing at all. She was crying. “I’m so sorry,” she said. “I let you down. I let my little boy down.”
    I was moved by her tears.
    I tried to remember her kind words from times past when I’d skinned knees or cut myself, times when she knew just the right thing to say.
    “It’s okay, Mom. We didn’t even need those cookies. There was plenty of stuff to eat. Don’t cry. It’s all right. Really.”
    We didn’t say another word. We just held each other. When we came to the point where I would usually pull away, I decided that, this time, I could hold on, perhaps, just a little bit longer.

    A．he couldn’t go to the party he had been looking forward to
    B．his mother didn’t turn up at the party as she had promised

    I am a German by birth and descent. My name is Schmidt. But by education I am quite as much an Englishman as a 'Deutscher', and by affection much more the former. My life has been spent pretty equally between the two countries, and I flatter myself I speak both languages without any foreign accent.
    I count England my headquarters now: it is “home” to me. But a few years ago I was resident in Germany, only going over to London now and then on business. I will not mention the town where I lived. It is unnecessary to do so, and in the peculiar experience I am about to relate I think real names of people and places are just as well, or better avoided.
    I was connected with a large and important firm of engineers. I had been bred up to the profession, and was credited with a certain amount of “talent”; and I was considered—and, with all modesty, I think I deserved the opinion—steady and reliable, so that I had already attained a fair position in the house, and was looked upon as a “rising man”. But I was still young, and not quite so wise as I thought myself. I came close once to making a great mess of a certain affair. It is this story which I am going to tell.
    Our house went in largely for patents—rather too largely, some thought. But the head partner's son was a bit of a genius in his way, and his father was growing old, and let Herr Wilhelm - Moritz we will call the family name—do pretty much as he chose. And on the whole Herr Wilhelm did well. He was cautious, and he had the benefit of the still greater caution and larger experience of Herr Gerhardt, the second partner in the firm.
    Patents and the laws which regulate them are strange things to have to do with. No one who has not had personal experience of the complications that arise could believe how far these spread and how involved they become. Great acuteness as well as caution is called for if you would guide your patent bark safely to port—and perhaps more than anything, a power of holding your tongue. I was no chatterbox, nor, when on a mission of importance, did I go about looking as if I were bursting with secrets, which is, in my opinion, almost as dangerous as revealing them. No one, to meet me on the journeys which it often fell to my lot to undertake, would have guessed that I had anything on my mind but an easy-going young fellow's natural interest in his surroundings, though many a time I have stayed awake through a whole night of railway travel if at all doubtful about my fellow-passengers, or not dared to go to sleep in a hotel without a ready-loaded gun by my pillow. For now and then - though not through me - our secrets did ooze out. And if, as has happened, they were secrets connected with Government orders or contracts, there was, or but for the exertion of the greatest energy and tact on the part of my superiors, there would have been, to put it plainly, the devil to pay.
