An evergreen tree is a Christmas tradition in many American homes. The tree is usually a pine or fir(冷杉) dressed with lights and other colorful decorations.
Families might buy a cut tree or go to a tree farm and cut one down themselves. Some people bring a live tree in a pot into their home for the holidays and then put it back outdoors. Some people rent a Christmas tree. Companies might bring the same live tree to the same family year after year. Or the tree might get planted in a park or someplace else where it could help the environment.
There are some trees that can be reused year after year because they are made of plastic or metal. Or, instead of a tree, some people have a small, sweet-smelling rosemary(迷迭香) plant, cut to look like a little Christmas tree.
Another popular evergreen this time of year is the mistletoe(槲寄生) plant. It has small white berries and leaves that feel like leather. The traditional Christmas mistletoe is native to Europe. Ancient Druids believed mistletoe had magical powers. Mistletoe is a parasitic(寄生的) plant. It connects itself to a tree and steals nutrients and water.
And the poinsettia(一品红)is also one of the plants that many people connect with Christmas. Poinsettias __________   Mexico. They can be white or pink, but most are bright red. They are named after the first American ambassador to Mexico. Joel Poinsett liked them enough to send some back to the United States. Babies or pets that chew on poinsettias might get sick. But experts say the plant is not as poisonous as some people think.

小题2:Pink ,red, green, or white(任选三项)
小题3:are native to/ come from/ are from
小题4:Pine, fir, rosemary, mistletoe, poinsettia

试题分析:本文讲的是美国人使用的圣诞树。大多数用的是四季常青的松树和冷杉。但也有用塑料做的消掉,有香味的迷迭香,或槲寄生、一品红。颜色出来绿色外,还有粉色、红色或白色的。
小题1:What can be used as Christmas Tree? 主旨大意题。根据第一句An evergreen tree is a Christmas tradition in many American homes.在许多美国家庭中,圣诞节有一棵常青树是传统,接下来就一直讲各种各样可用来做圣诞树的那些树。
小题2:Pink ,red, green, or white(任选三项)细节题。根据第一句An evergreen tree is a Christmas tradition in many American homes和最后一段They can be white or pink, but most are bright red.,可知圣诞树一般是绿色,但也可用粉色、白色或者红色。
小题3:are native to/ come from/ are from。填空题。前面是Poinsettias后面是一个单词Mexico要表达的意思就是一品红来做墨西哥。
小题4:Pine, fir, rosemary, mistletoe,推理判断题。根据第一段,知道pine和fir可以用做圣诞树,根据第三段知道rosemary可用,根据第四段知道mistletoe可用,根据第五段知道可用poinsettia
小题5:The live tree。代词指代的问题。Some people bring a live tree in a pot into their home for the holidays and then put it back outdoors有些人为了过节把一棵活树移到家里的罐子里,然后又把它种回到外面去。it应该是指前半句的a live tree

阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)
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 want 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 Mares. 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.
小题1:How did Clara get the new about the essay contest?( no more than 10 words)
小题2:Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA?( no more than 10 words)
小题3:What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma?( no more than 15 words)
小题4:What does the underlined phrase “hole up”mean?(1 word)
小题5:In your opinion, why is curiosity important?( no more than 20 words)

Let children learn to judge their own work.小题1:if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the languages he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people. 小题2:they learn to do without being taught-to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle-compare those performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his own mistakes for himself, let alone correct them.小题3:We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself.
