第Ⅰ卷Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)AIt was a Saturday morning，a day I believed would end in victory.For weeks，I had been preparing for the match at the county fairgrounds，sponsored(赞助) by our local riding club.My horse，Tonka, and I could run faster than any other kid in the county, and I hoped to bring home a blue ribbon.My mother usually drove me to the riding events, but on this day, my father planned to drop us off at the fairgrounds with the horse trailer(马车)．Although we never discussed it, my father's struggle with alcoholism had become the silent centre of our family life.My mother was paralyzed with fear and indecision.Her salary as a part-time nurse couldn't possibly support four children.No one talked about alcoholism in those days，and it was my family secret.We climbed on the trailer and my father pulled out of our driveway and headed towards the fairgrounds，picking up speed once we hit the main road.It wasn't until we felt a big bump that I realized the trailer was out of control.The dream of my riding winner disappeared.Tonka lay on the floor, completely still.No words were possible.I knew he was dead.Suddenly a man appeared.“Are you all right？” he asked.“Yes.”I answered，although I knew that nothing was all right.“Sit here on the grass，”he said.He bent down to look into the trailer.Tonka remained still.He touched Tonka and then turned to face me.“He is going to be OK.He has just been knocked unconscious.” He rubbed Tonka's cheeks and gently pulled his ears.Tonka rose to his feet.Our father was talking to a police officer.He was upset and in pain and took little notice of me.I looked back；the man was gone.I never forgot him.He gave me strength and a sense of hope in a dark and frightening moment.1．The writer went to the fairgrounds because he wanted to ________.A．take part in a horse racingB．buy Mum a blue ribbonC．join the local riding clubD．train his horse there2．We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.A．the family kept silent at homeB．the family lived a secret lifeC．Father was addicted to alcoholD．Mother was physically disabled3．What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?A．Once formed，bad habits are difficult to break.B．Unexpected kindness is a light that shines in the darkness.C．However mean your life is，meet it and live it.D．Family is a place of encouragement, a safe harbour in the storms.BSince I became a full-time freelancer(自由职业者), I've found one of the hardest things to do is to get up early. Without the danger of being fired, there just hasn't been a lot of motivation(动机) to get out of bed.I've quickly learned that getting up is the key to success and better yet: waking up early is really just a habit.The most important thing to keep in mind is that you must have strong reasons to get out of bed. Motivation is the only thing keeping us from lying in bed all day.Writing down all the big and important things you'll do the next day can give you an extra push in your goal to wake up early and quickly.Don't read in bed. Spending as little time as possible in bed will actually help your body realize that the bed is for sleeping, and not for lying awake for hours. The goal of reading in bed is just to help you fall asleep within 10 minutes.Stress is one of the main causes of poor sleep. Relax yourself before getting into bed. Try controlling breathing exercises or taking yoga exercises to lower your stress level.These are just a few ways you can use to wake up earlier. Finding the best way is the most important, and it requires a little work. The key thing is that waking up should be a pleasant experience. If you can make waking up something you are looking forward to, you're already halfway on your journey towards becoming an early riser.4．What do we know about the author?A．He has a full-time job outside. B．He likes lying in bed all day.C．He was once fired by a company. D．He has difficulty getting up early.5．The author gives us some tips to help us________.A．find the key to success B．become an early riserC．fall asleep within 10 minutes D．relax after a day's hard work6．Which of the following is NOT true about doing yoga?A．It is a good way to reduce stress. B．It can help you sleep.C．It can make you worried. D．It will help you wake up earlier.CWhat an athlete eats before, during and after exercise is important for comfort and performance during exercise. While eating soon before exercise doesn't provide the fuel needed for the activity, it can prevent hunger during exercise. The major source of fuel for muscles is stored in the days before exercise. This is one reason that the post-exercise meal is very important to recovery and being ready for the next exercise.Exercising on a full stomach is not a good idea. Food that remains in your stomach during an event may cause stomach upset. To make sure you have enough energy, yet reduce stomach discomfort, you should allow a meal to fully digest before the start of the event.If you have an early morning race or exercise, it's best to get up early enough to eat your pre-exercise meal. If not, you should try to eat or drink something easily digestible about 20～30 minutes before the event. The closer you are to the time of your event the less you should eat. You can have a liquid meal closer to your event than a solid meal because your stomach digests liquids faster.Because glucose(葡萄糖) is the energy source for most exercise, a pre-exercise meal should include foods that are high in carbohydrates and easy to digest. This includes foods such as fruit, bread, energy bars and drinks.Planning is necessary if you are competing in an all-day event, such as track meets or other tournaments. You should plan ahead and prepare meals and snacks that you have tried before. Do not experiment with something new on the event day.7．Fully digesting before an event may________．A．cause stomach upset B．give enough energy and stomach discomfort C．give comfort and good performance during exercise D．lead to hunger during exercise8．From the passage we can learn________．A．you'd better have your pre-exercise meal after an early morning raceB．fruits and bread are high in glucose and easy to digestC．planning is not necessary for track meetsD．you can try something new for your meals on the event day9．What does the underlined word “digest” mean?A．Absorb. B．Interest. C．Disappear. D．Recover.10．What is the best title for the passage?A．Tips for eating before exercise B．What to eat during exerciseC．Fully digesting before exercise D．Planning for your exercise第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

say it might have been prevented if the boy had received the dental care he needed.Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care should start at birth.They say breast milk is the best food for the healthy development of teeth.Breast milk can help slow bacterial growth and acid production in the mouth.When baby’s teeth begin to appear，you can clean them with a wet toothbrush.Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies，and use them very gently.The use of fluoride (氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world.This natural element is often added to drinking water supplies.The fluoride mixes with enamel(釉质)，the hard surface on teeth，to help prevent holes，or cavities from forming.But the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry points out that young children often swallow toothpaste when they brush their teeth.The group notes that swallowing fluoridated toothpaste can cause problems.So young children should be carefully supervised when they brush their teeth.And only a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste，the size of a green pea，should be used.Parents often wonder what effects sucking a thumb or sucking on a pacifier might have on their baby’s teeth.Dentalexperts generally agree that this is fine early in life.The American Academy of Family Physicians says most kids stop sucking their thumbs by the age of four.If it continues，the group advises parents to talk to their child’s dentist or doctor.It could influence the correct development of permanent teeth.16．The boy with a bad tooth died because________.A．his tooth disease was very deadlyB．the doctor refused to treat him properlyC．he didn’t receive timely treatmentD．something was wrong with his brain17．All the following statements are good to teeth except that ________.A．children live on breast milk every dayB．children begin to brush their teeth when they are old enoughC．children use fluoride toothpaste to brush their teeth D．children form the habit of sucking their thumbs18．The underlined word “supervised” in the fifth paragraph means “________”．A．watched and directed B．taught and helpedC．praised and advised D．led and pointed out19．Which one of the followings is NOT true according tothis passage?A．Dental care should be given to babies as soon as they are born.B．Special toothbrushes should be used for babies.C．Breast milk and fluoride are helpful to protect baby teeth.D．Dental experts suggest stopping babies sucking their thumbs.20．The best title of this passage is ________.A．The reason of a twelve­year­old boy’s deathB．Baby teeth should be cared for from birthC．Breast milk and fluoride are importantD．How to help young children form good habitsBRoberto Clemente was one of the mosthonored baseball players in history.Manyplayers are known for their skills or therecords they broke.But Roberto was loved not only for his ability in sports，but also for the kind of person that he was.Roberto was born in 1934 in Carolina，Puerto Rico，whose family struggled financially.As a young boy，he helped his father，who worked on a sugar farm and also managed a store that sold food.In school，Roberto was an excellent runner.But more than anything，he loved playing baseball.Puerto Rico’s warm islandclimate made it easy for the young boy to play baseball all year.But he was good at throwing balls to a great distance.While in high school，Roberto played baseball for the Santurce Crabbers in the Puerto Rico’s Winter League.At 18，Roberto was already hitting a baseball better than many professional players in the United States.This ability was recognized the following year.An official from the Brooklyn Dodgers team in New York City came to Puerto Rico looking for new young players.The official，Al Campanis，was pleased with Roberto’s skills.He offered to give him a 10,000 dollar gift to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers.But Roberto was unable to join the major league team because he was still in high school.The young baseball player told Mr.Campanis that he would join the Brooklyn team as soon as he finished school.So Roberto joined the Brooklyn Dodgers after finishing high school.But Roberto began playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1955.Roberto stood out among the other players in his team.The Pittsburgh Pirates did not do well the first few years when Roberto played in the team.But in 1960，everything changed.That year，he played in the first of his 12 All­Star games.Every year，the best players from the National and American leagues compete in an All­Star game.That same year，Roberto helped his team beat the New York Yankees to win the World Series—thenational baseball championship.Roberto died on December 31,1972，in a plane crash while attempting to deliver aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.21．Roberto Clemente was highly honored because________.A．of his intelligenceB．he had no competitorsC．he was kind and generousD．of his personality and skills22．What do we know about Roberto according to the text?A．Roberto was not helpful.B．His family lived a happy life.C．His father worked very hard.D．Roberto had no interest in sports.23．Why did Mr.Campanis offer Roberto a 10,000 dollar gift?A．He was impressed by Roberto’s abi lity.B．He wanted to make friends with Roberto.C．Roberto played better than professional players.D．He invited Roberto to quit school and play for his team.24．Thanks to Roberto，the Pittsburgh Pirates________.A．defeated other 12 All­Star teamsB．was better widely known worldwideC．won the national baseball championshipD．beat the New York

单元测评(二) Unit 2 The Olympic Games (时间：90分钟满分：110分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节；满分30分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

AThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capable (能干的) I am ! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day ! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are！”And all that the old bucket could say was, “I know I'm not very useful, but I can only do my best. I'm happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back.I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare (光秃秃的) earth ; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.语篇解读新桶能圆满地完成浇水任务，漏水的旧桶也无意中恩泽了一路野花。

Three years ago, few people would go swimming in the icy waters. But now there is a Winter-swimming Enthusiasts’ Club（冬泳爱好者协会）and it has more than 2,000 members. The oldest is 84 years old and the youngest is only 7. The members are from all walks of life. They may be workers, peasants, soldiers, teachers, students…Though it is now the coldest part of the season and the water t emperature in the city’s lakes is around 0℃, many winter-swimmers still swim in the icy waters, even when it is snowing. They enjoy themselves in the lake, while the people by the side of the lake are wearing heavy clothes.Why are so many people interested in winter-swimming? Because winter-swimming can be good for one’s health.Bei Sha is a good example. He is 69, and he once suffered from heart trouble for 26 years. After ten years of winter-swimming he is now in good health. Scientists are now studying the effects of winter-swimming on health.31.

What’s the best title for this passage?A. People in Beijing Like Swimming in WinterB. Winter-swimming—A Craze（狂热）in BeijingC. People Benefit from Winter-swimmingD. Winter-swimmers Are Brave MenBRecently Dr. Cleiman has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work, you may say that you are “hot”. That is true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak (top).For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so.Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what this energy cycle means and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habits can help Dr. Cleiman believe.If your energy cycle is low in the morning but you have an important job early in the day, rise before your usual hour, and then you will work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a lazy yawn(呵欠) and stretch (伸腰). Sit on the edge of bed before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.36. Dr. Cleiman didn’t explain in the passage__________.A. how people can make their life fit their cycleB. whether everyone has a daily cycle or notC. why people have their energy cycle of body at different timesD. what will happen in the family if the couple fail to realize which cycle each member has37.For what reason may husbands and wives quarrel with each other?A .Either of them gets up late in the morningB. Husbands and wives have different cycles of energy.C. Either of them wants to change the cycle of the other.D. They don’t know which cycle of the other.38.According to the passage,______.A. one should get up earlier if he wants to work better at his low point in the morningB. one can change his cycleC. whenever you feel hot, your energy cycle reaches the highestD. your cycle must be in the morning if you can get up early39.Which of the following can save your energy in the morning?A. Getting up late.B. Jumping out of bed as quickly as possible.C. Looking for clean clothes.D. Sitting for a while before getting out of bed.40.Which of the following statements is wrong?__________.A. If you know your cycle you can make good use of time.B. If you know your cycle you can change it to fit your life.C. Father and son don’t necessarily have the same cycle.D.

Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional,or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take theirparents and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults with youngsters’performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.36.An effective way to prevent the burnout ofyoung athletes is_________.A.to make sport less competitiveB.to increase their sense of successC.to reduce their mental stressD.to make sport more challenging金戈37.According to the passage，sport is positive foryoung people in that__________.A.it can help them learn more about societyB.it enables them to find faults in themselvesC.it can provide them with valuableexperiencesD.it teaches them how to set realistic goals forthemselves38.Many coaches and parents are in the habit ofcriticizing young athletes________．A.believing that criticism is beneficial for theirearly developmentB.without realizing criticism may destroy theirself confidenceC.in order to make them remember life’slessonsD.so as to put more pressure on them39.According to the passage parents and coachesshould________．A.pay more attention to letting children enjoysportB.help children to win every gameC.train children to cope with stressD.enable children to understand the positiveaspect of sport40.The author’s purpose in writing the passageis________.A.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutB.to persuade young children not to worry aboutcriticismC.to stress the importance of positive support tochildrenD.to discuss the skill of combining criticism withencouragementBIf the Olympic Games are a history of mankind，wrestling(摔跤)is the prologue(序幕).When the ancient Games of the Olympiad were born,wrestling was already an ancient game.Widely recognized as the world’s oldest competitive sport，wrestling appeared in a series of Egyptian wall paintings as early as 5，000 years ago.When the ancient Olympic Games began in 776 BC，more than two thousand years later，it included wrestling and in the years that followed，wrestling featured as the main event.The sport would return in a similar role when the Olympic Games returned after a 1500-year absence in anizers，seeking direct links to ancient times，found wrestling was very popular across much of the ancient world，from Greece，Assyria and Babylon to India,China and Japan.Greco Roman wrestling，a style which was believed to be passed down from the Greek and Roman wrestlers of old was brought back into use.In Greco-Roman wrestling，the wrestlers used only their arms and upper bodies to attack.They could hold only those same parts of their opponents(对手).It worked nicely from a historical attitude，but another cheerful and relaxing style was sweeping across Great Britain and the United States by then.Known as “catch as catch can”，it had become popular at fairs and festivals in both countries.In 1904，the Olympic Games added the second wrestling event and called it “freestyle”.Now，wrestlers could use their legs for pushing，lifting and tripping，and they could hold opponents above or below the waist.41.The first ancient Games of the Olympiad wereheld more than_______ years ago.A.776B.1,500C.2,500D.5,00042.What does the writer want to tell us by saying wrestling is the prologue?A.The ancient Olympic Games had a long history.B.Wrestling was an important game in theancient Olympic Games.C.Wrestling is popular all the time.D.Wrestling has a really long history.43.Why was Greco- Roman wrestling brought back into use in 1896 when the Olympic Games returned?anizers wanted to find direct links toancient times.B.Wrestling was very popular across much of theancient world.C.People believed it was passed down from theGreek and Roman wrestlers of old.D.All the above.44.Another style of wrestling became popularacross Great Britain and the United States，because it was________.petitiveB.difficultC.cheerful and relaxingD.interestingCThe Olympic Games are held every four years in a different city in the world.Athletes from many countries compete in a variety of sports which are divided into winter and summer games.The Olympics began in Greece more than 2,700 years ago.The games were originally part of a religious金戈festival in honor of the Greek gods.Eventually，the games became the most important festival in all of Greece.The first recorded Olympic competition was held in 776 B.C.It was held in an outdoor stadium which was about 200 meters long and 300 meters wide.The stadium was in a valley，and about forty thousand people watched the event.The first thirteen Olympics consisted of only one race—running.Since 776 B.C.，the games had been held regularly for about 1,200 years.In 397 the Olympics were prohibited by the Roman Emperor.It was not until 1896 that the first Olympics of modern games were held in Athens.From then on the games are held every four years regularly.The Olympics have become the world’s most important athletic events and a symbol of the sporting friendship of all the people of the world.45.The first modern Olympic Games were held.A.about 115 years agoB.about 200 years agoC.about 251 years agoD.about 300 years ago46.What does this passage mainly tell us?A.The history of the Olympic Games.B.Various sporting events of the OlympicGames.C.The Standard size of an Olympic stadium.D.Several important athletic events in ancientGreece.47.Which of the following statements is false?A.The Olympic Games were once prohibited.B.The first recorded Olympic competition washeld in honor of the Roman Emperor.C.Running used to be the only sporting event inthe ancient Olympic Games.D.Today the Olympic Games are the world’smost important athletic events.DWhat is America’s number one sport? Can I still say baseball? You could make that statement 30 years ago，but things have changed.Baseball of course has the richest history of all sports. But with the popularity of basketball and American football，there can now be an argument on which sport is American’s number one pastime.Basketball really took a turn in the 1980’s as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird took the NBA to another level. Of course，basketball was already popular and had seen such stars as Jerry West and Dr. J.,but the real breakthrough came in the 1980’s and it really took off with Michael Jordan into the 1990’s. Basketball has even become very global now as many NBA stars competed in the Olympics and faced no competition. Today，they had better be ready because there are so many talents in other countries and the competition will be stiff.Like basketball, American football has always been a favourite of many sports fans and its popularity has grown widely.The ratings that Super Bowl Sunday brings are amazing. They have even talked about making Super Bowl Sunday a national holiday.In the year 2050, basketball and American football will have history like baseball’s rich history and may be American national sports. They have been trying for years, but it is not going to happen.So what is America’s number one sport? To me baseball will always be America’s pastime—rich in history and many memories for folks of all ages. If you have any comments on this subject,do not hesitate to give your opinions.48.This passage mainly talks about________.A.baseball and its historyB.the most popular sport in the worldC.which sport is the number one in AmericaD.whether basketball is a global sport pastime49.Which of the following words can replace theunderlined word “stiff” in Paragraph Two?A.safeB.hardC.crazyD.strong50.The author wrote the passage to_________.A.persuade people to support baseball asAmerica’s number one sportB.introduce the history of different sports inAmericapare different kinds of sports that arepopular among American peopleD.express his idea that baseball is America’snumber one sportⅣ.语法填空(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分)T here was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love.One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving birds. __51__She cared them with love and the birds grew strong.Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song.The girl felt the great love from the birds.__52__The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.The girl was so frightened that金戈he would fly away.As he flew close,she grasped him wildly.Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him. __53__She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird.Her desperate love had killed him.She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage.She could feel his great need for freedom.He needed to fly into the clear,blue sky. __54__The bird circled once,twice,three times.The girl watched delightedly at the bird s enjoyment. __55__She wanted the bird to be happy.Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder.It sang the sweetest song that she had ever heard.The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight,while the best way to keep love is to give it wings!A.She gave them some delicious food and left.B.Suddenly she felt the bird go softly.C.Her heart was no longer concerned with herloss.D.One day she left with the two birds at homealone.E.She took them home and put them in a smallcage.F.One day the girl left the door of the cage open.G.She lifted him from the cage and threw himsoftly into the air.Ⅴ.书面表达（满分30分）最近你们学校将开展“创建文明班级（civilized classes），共建和谐校园（harmonious campus）”活动。

But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum(卢浮宫博物馆) where it is housed.“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but r epairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state(化学状态).Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery o f her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision (视觉) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it w as eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he panned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.46. What does the writer mean by “time is catching up with the Mona Lisa”?A. The painting woman is not so beautiful any more.B. Ageing is something that affects us all.C. The painting needs repairing.D. At such an old age, she is no longer popular.47. What makes the repair work difficult?A. The wooden panel is thin and old.B. No one knows exactly what materials were used to create the painting and how it might respond to treatment.C. The health of the painting is suffering.D. Experts can’t agree on how to carry out repairs.48. What makes her so mysterious according to Professor Livingston?A. The materials the Italian artist used.B. The way she smiles.C. The way Da Vinci painted the smile.D. It plays a trick upon the human eyesB篇Hundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, love their country. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men,” he said, “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle①. We must win, or we will die.”They were all very tired. So they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotland②.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people liked it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.49. Hundreds of years ago, the Romans ____ .A. came from the north through England to make war on ScotlandB. came to the north Scotland from England to make war on ScotlandC. came from the north of England to fight the ScotsD. came to the north from the south of Britain to fight the Scots50.
