    Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these  41   are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are  42   and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows  43   and pale and has changed so much that it is almost  44   to the parents. It was then  45   that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and  46   the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended 47.  However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been  48 . In those cases there was often a way to get the  49   baby back. You could  50   the Changeling on the fire--then it would rise up the chimney, and you would hear the sound of fairies’ laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.

    Plants are very important living things. Life could not go if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. So animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
    If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
    Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
    Most non-flowering plants don’t grow from seeds. They grow from spores. Spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as he seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
    小题1:The main idea of the passage is that      .
    A．plants are important for lifeB．plants cannot grow without air
    C．there are many plants around usD．we cannot live without water
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
    A．Plants can be divided into main types: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
    B．All fruits have seeds in them.
    C．Seeds are protected by the fruits.
    D．Some plants grow from spores.

    My 8-year-old daughter is making an experiment. She has been making her own colorful smile cards and often takes them with her everywhere.
    Last Sunday, I took my kid to go shopping with me. She was hoping to see John, who is an elderly man and gives out samples. We see him from time to time and he is so happy and friendly. John wasn’t at the store on Sunday, so my daughter decided that it would be a good idea to distribute her smile cards to the store’s other employees.
    So she did. In the produce department, she gave a card to a young man and she hoped it would make him smile. And he smiled at her and thanked her. Then she came across an older gentleman who looked rather impatient. And she snuck a card into his cart on top of his groceries, remarking to me later that he looked at her suspiciously as if she was dumping trash in his cart. But I thought he would be happy later.
    When we got back from our shopping trip, she had run out of cards. She was walking by a woman with two babies in her cart. My daughter smiled at her and the young mother smiled back. My daughter came to me and said excitedly, “Mom, I just realized something. You don’t need cards to make someone smile. All you need to do is make eye contact and smile into their eyes and they will smile back.” 
    What a beautiful lesson my daughter reminded me of. You are never too young or too old to experiment with kindness and smiles.
    小题1:At first, the writer’s daughter made an experiment by ______.
    A．giving smile cardsB．giving samples
    C．making eye contactD．giving groceries
    小题2:According to the text, John was a man ______.
    A．who is very young and livelyB．who may be a salesman
    C．who is in trouble and needs smilesD．who is never seen to smile
    小题3:The underlined word “distribute” in paragraph 2 probably means ______.
    A．make upB．tear upC．give outD．sell out
    小题4:From the text, we can learn that ______.
    A．John got a smile card from the writer’s daughter
    B．the older gentleman would smile later after he got the smile card
    C．we could make others smile only by giving them what they wanted
    D．the mother with two babies smiled because she got a smile card

    The morning for our snowmobiling (雪上汽车) adventure finally arrived, and we set off on the hour-and-a-half drive to the resort. A fresh powder had fallen the night before, and everything was frosted white. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect conditions. The sun sparkled (闪光) on the snow, and the trails (路线) were completely empty – not another person or snowmobile in sight. We were thrilled at being the only people for miles around … until we got going.
    As we drove through the deserted wilderness (荒野), my excitement became stone-cold fear. I had no idea what I was afraid of, or why I was afraid, but suddenly every turn, every hill, every steep (陡峭的) side of the mountain scared me to death. I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop. ?
    But after lunch things changed. We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall. The peaceful place, the incredible beauty of the landscape, and the almost sacred experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core (核心).  My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed.
    As we drove the last leg of the run, I began to resent being afraid to drive. Deep down, I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me. It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do. The day was coming to an end, and the resort was only a few miles away. I knew that if I didn’t take my chance now, I would regret it.
    I signaled for my husband to pull over. I wanted to drive, although my heart pounded (重击). I stared off slowly and felt the wind in my face. I smiled and sped up a little. I let out a “Yee-haw!” and went full out, taking my husband on the best ride of the day.
    We ended the day on that breathless, carefree, and I felt proud of myself – proud of overcoming my fear.

    B．What difficulties the couple faced during their adventure.

    D．How the author overcame her fear during her adventure.

    A．gradually calmed down
    B．stopped to enjoy the beautiful scenery
    C．saw some wildlife on the mountain
    D．was afraid to continue her journey

    A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute,” someone might say, “are talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”
    The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two week to prepare, a period I spent searching for a briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class, I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
    I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
    “All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit on the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of raised hands. Every student would shout to be heard, and I would knock on something in order to silence them. I would yell, “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”
    A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I instructed the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.
    小题1:The author took the job to teach writing because______________.
    A．he wanted to be respectedB．he had written some stories
    C．he wanted to please his fatherD．he had dreamed of being a teacher
    小题2:What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?
    A．He would be aggressive in his first class.B．He was well-prepared for his first class.
    C．He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.D．He waited long for the arrival of his first class.
    小题3:Before he started his class, the author asked the students to_______.
    A．write down their suggestions on the paper cards
    B．cut maple leaves out of the construction paper
    C．cut some cards out the construction paper
    D．write down their names on the paper cards
    小题4: What did the students do when the author started his class?
    A．They began to talk.B．They stayed silent.
    C．They raised their hands.D．They shouted to be heard.
    小题5:The author chose the composition topic probably because________.
    A．he got disappointed with his first class
    B．he had prepared the topic before class.
    C．he wanted to calm down the students
    D．he thought it was an easy topic
