She was sitting high with her eyes closed, her skin still wet from the shower and her messy hair behind her back. I realized she was taking_in every touch from my hands. Today I would send Kitty away for a week of summer camp. This was all my idea. She's nearly 12, and I notice that I'm with my child nearly 24 hours a day. Living on the farm without neighbors, Kitty has become increasingly dependent(依赖的) on me.After lunch, we drove to the camp place. After we got out of the car, we were introduced to the other children. Kitty followed me closely, holding my ha nd all the time. “I need you for a few more minutes，” she said to me, horror in her eyes.I pulled away and walked up to a camp worker. “Excuse me，” I said loudly. “I'd like to introduce you to my daughter. Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids.” He came over to talk to Kitty and I kissed on her face. Then I disappeared before Kitty realized I had left.On my way home, I felt a piece of my soul(灵魂) had been taken away from my body. I began to shake. Tears came down my face. When I arrived home, I calmed down and reminded myself why I chose this path. “I want Kitty to have a chance to find herself, out of my shadow(影子). If I don't set her free, I'm afraid she won't be independent(独立的) forever，” I said to myself.( )11.How long would the camp last?A．5 days. B．7 days.C．12 days.( )12.What does the underlined phrase “taking in” mean in Paragraph 2?A．感受 B．拒绝C．索要( )13.How did Kitty feel when she arrived at the camp?A．Cool. B．Excited. C．Scared.( )14.Which of the following about the writer is NOT true according to the passage?A．She thought it was good for her daughter to go camping.B．She was trying to do everything for her daughter.C．She knew she made the right decision at last.( )15.What is the main idea of the passage?A．Kids should not stay with their parents.B．Kids should often go out for summer camps.C．Parents should help their children to be independent.BBelieve it or not, oceans and seas are easy to be harmed by the development of human society. They are also influenced by manm ade pollution easily. It is human beings that do great harm to the ocean ecosystems.The coral reefs(珊瑚礁) are fine ecosystems that provide food and protection for many ocean creatures(生物). The coral in almost all of the oceans is in danger from pollution. Chemicals from factories end up in the seas and oceans and destroy(破坏) coral reefs. If the coral systems die, some ocean creatures will be sure to die out.Protecting the ocean also has something to do with the protection of ocean wildlife like dolphins. The fishing industry depends on modern ways to catch many fish in order to earn more money. But the nets for fishing also catch other sea animals. The fishing boat workers are advised to check their nets and set other ocean animals free. But the boats are in a hurry to make money and often other ocean animals are caught with fish.Oil spills(泄露) can destroy the ocean environment because oil kills all ocean life. The world depends on oil and because there is plenty of oil off the shore in many countries, the need for oil is more important than the risk of the oil spill. However, the fact is that one ocean mistake can lead to an ocean environment accident that will cause years of damage to the fine ocean ecosystems. Oil spills will kill all the creatures in the area of the spill. The oil will be washed up on the shore and destroy the ecosystems along the shore, including birds.Everyone who cares about the environment should pay more attention to protecting the ocean, and all of us should do something for the protection of the ocean.( )16.According to the passage, the ocean is harmed easily as a result of ________．A．the increasing activities of humansB．the change of natural conditionsC．the growth of population by the sea( )17.What does the second paragraph mainly tell readers?A．The importance of protecting coral systems.B．Coral reefs are home to ocean animals.C．How ocean creatures depend on coral reefs.( )18.Why do people continue to get oil in the sea at the risk of oil spills?A．Because they believe the oil spill can be stopped.B．Because there is plenty of oil in the sea.C．Because they are in great need of oil.( )19.What does the underlined word “damage” mean in Paragraph 4?A．混乱B．损害 C．支持( )20.This passage is written mainly to tell us ________．A．something should be done to protect the oceansB．oceans can provide us with a great deal of oilC．the sea has been seriously polluted参考答案Ⅰ.1—5 BACCA 6—10 CCABBⅡ.A【主旨大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

When Xiao Bao was 2 years old, Bian took him to the “Baby Show”, a popular TV programme in Hebei Province where they lived. Xiao Bao performed well.

But she was moving from a house with a little garden so her son would have space to play. The distance was probably too short to call a removal company（搬家公司）, but it was long enough to make carrying all the stuff a real pain.But we didn't have to. A neighbor offered the use of her truck. She drove it up to my daughter's front door, and then went home while we loaded it up. Then she came out, drove it to the new house and walked back home for a cup of tea while we unloaded. Then she did it again and again.We decided to thank her, but she didn’t want anything from us. My daughter got her some flowers later as a “thank you”.Before I left, I stopped by the woman's house, just to thank her for being such a help to my daughter, as she really didn’t have to help. It's not like they were such close friends or anything “It’s what neighbors should do,” she said.“It’s what neighbors used to do,” I said.“Well, let’s bring it back then,” she smiled. I thought she was right. Neighbors often helped each other in the past, but now we don’t do that so often as we did before.“Let’s bring it back,” I said sincerely in my heart.It’s good to have neighbors like her.( )1.

Perhaps your child loves art, and you want to encourage that interest, but you just don’t know where to begin. Maybe you’re ready to start drawing, too. Then this website is for you.At Art Made Easy, I’ll take through what you need to know to help your children create their own works of art.I’ll also tell you what you need to buy to get them started, and provide you with prices soyou’ll know what to expect before you go to the store. You’ll find free lessons to try with them, and along the way, I’ll explain all kinds of art terms to you.How old should a child be before starting art? As a Mom and an art teacher, I’ve found that any age is a great age to begin creating. My son was drawing little circle when he was just one old, and my grandma didn’t begin her painting career until she was in her seventies! The complexity of the art work will change according to the age of the artist, of course, but a face composed of a circle and two big eyes by a child can be as much of an achievement as a fine oil painting by an adult.Drawing may not come naturally, but it’s a skill that can be learned. The tips and lessons on this site are meant to be studied and tried together with your child! Remember, as with anything new that you learn to do, you improve with practice.

Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the “snowball,” much of it is changed to gases. The gases expand and form the comet’s head, which may be thousands of miles across.A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion. That’s because the moon is far away.So comets do not streak across the sky. You cannot see any motion. But if you look night after night, you can see that a comet changes position among the stars. If you watch the moon night after night, you’ll see that it also changes position.Each year astronomers discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun’s gravity cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.( )1. What is this passage mostly about?A. Comets and the sun.B. Why comets are like snowballs.C. Who discovered the first comet.D. Facts about comets.( )2. According to the passage, what does a comet travel around?A. The sun.B. The moon.C. Other comets.D. other planets( )3. Why do comets look as if they are motionless when we see them?A. They are very small.B. They are very far away.C. They move very slowly.D. They move only at night.( )4. How does the author help the reader understand what a comet looks like?A. By telling about a famous one.B. By explaining how far away it is.C. By describing how fast it moves.D. By describing it as a dirty snowball.( )5. What is the most likely reason the author wrote this passage?A. To give information about comets.B. To tell readers about famous comets.C. To explain the importance of comets.D. To convince readers to look for comets.Long ago all of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the s1 . And others thought it was a big ball of cheese! Then telescope was made. And men s 2 that the moon was really another world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there.On July 20th, 1969, that dream came t 3 . Two American men landed on the moon. T 4 names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick t 5 the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the fist mark a living thing had ever made on the moon.The two men walked on the moon f 6 hours. They picked rocks to bring back to e 7 for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they climb b 8 into their moon landing craft. Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael Collins in the spaceship that w 9 for them above the moon. Then they were off on their long trip back to earth. B 10 them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up. And they left footprints that may last forever.1. sky2. saw3. true4. their5. that6. for7. earth8. back9. waited 10.BehindRead Allen's diary and answer the questions( )1. What does “PTA Day” mean?A.

Perhaps your child loves art, and you want to encourage that interest, but you just don’t know where to begin. Maybe you’re ready to start drawing, too. Then this website is for you.At Art Made Easy, I’ll take through what you need to know to help your children create theirown works of art.I’ll also tell you what you need to buy to get them started, and provide you with prices so you’ll know what to expect before you go to the store. You’ll find free lessons to try with them, and along the way, I’ll explain all kinds of art terms to you.How old should a child be before starting art? As a Mom and an art teacher, I’ve found that any age is a great age to begin creating. My son was drawing little circle when he was just one old, and my grandma didn’t begin her painting career until she was in her seventies! The complexity of the art work will change according to the age of the artist, of course, but a face composed of a circle and two big eyes by a child can be as much of an achievement as a fine oil painting by an adult.Drawing may not come naturally, but it’s a skill that can be learned. The tips and lessons on this site are meant to be studied and tried together with your child! Remember, as with anything new that you learn to do, you improve with practice. So get busy creating art and have fun! ( )1. A. physics B. maths C. art D. P. E.( )2. A. interest B. skill C. diet D. habit( )3. A. finish B. start C. continue D. stop( )4.

Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rock like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the “snowball,” much of it is changed to gases. The gases expand and form the comet’s head, which may be thousands of miles across.A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion. That’s because the moon is far away.So comets do not streak across the sky. You cannot see any motion. But if you look night after night, you can see that a comet changes position among the stars. If you watch the moon night after n ight, you’ll see that it also changes position.Each year astronomers discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space. The sun’s gravity cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.( )1. What is this passage mostly about?A. Comets and the sun.B. Why comets are like snowballs.C.

And others thought it was a big ball of cheese! Then telescope was made. And men s 2 that the moon was really another world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there.On July 20th, 1969, that dream came t 3 . Two American men landed on the moon. T 4 names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick t 5 the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the fist mark a living thing had ever made on the moon.The two men walked on the moon f 6 hours. They picked rocks to bring back to e 7 for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they climb b 8 into their moon landing craft. Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael Collins in the spaceship that w 9 for them above the moon. Then they were off on their long trip back to earth. B 10 them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up. And they left footprints that may last forever.1. sky2. saw3. true4. their5. that6. for7. earth8. back9. waited 10.BehindRead Allen's diary and answer the questions。
