As the quake areas are now being rebuilt, do students feel better, and what are their lives like? Teens have talked to two students to find out.Wu Xinnan, 16,Dujiangyan Foreign Language Experimental SchoolWu likes leaning through the window of her makeshift dorm (临时凑合的宿舍) and looking outside. There, some buildings are under construction – Her school's new classrooms. Teachers say that they will move in next term and Wu can't wait for that day to come. Three months after the earthquake, Wu entered her new school without a formal entrance exam (入学考试). She couldn't concentrate in class at first. Some of her classmates, especially those who had lost family members, didn't talk and always stayed alone. One year later, things are much better.Everyone seems to work extremely hard, with busy classes between 6:30 am and 10:00 pm every day. Wu won't allow herself to fall behind, either. She only goes back to stay with her parents on Saturdays. They are still staying in a temporary room after losing their house. She never asks for pocket money since her dad lost his job at a restaurant –another victim of the earthquake. "I rarely buy anything," she said.Luo Qin, 16,Mianyang Shuidian SchoolLuo has a motto: "Take time to enjoy life". That’s why she was seen everywhere during her school's recent speech contest and sports meeting remembering the one-year anniversary (周年纪念) of the earthquake. During the May Day holiday, Luo and her friends volunteered to help pick tea for Beichuan farmers in mountainous areas. This year has seen a rise in the tea grown, but not enough people to work on the farms. Many families are busy building their new homes.Luo said she used to be rebellious (叛逆的), but the earthquake matured (使成熟) her and taught her to care for others. Once a month she goes back home with a little gift for her grandma. "She was scared during the earthquake. I always tell her that she must enjoy a long life after the disaster."Title:Growing up, one year onThe ___(1)___of the Wenchuan earthquake ●___(2)___many to die;●Upsetting and scaring many more peopleWu Xinnan’s life one year later ●She likes to___(3)___through the window of her dorm and look out.●She can’t wait to move in the new classroom which is being ___(4)___.●Having entered a new school, she couldn’t ___(5)___on her lessons in class,●She ___(6)___home to stay with her parents only on Saturdays.●She hardly buys anything because the restaurant ___(7)___his father once worked was destroyed in the earthquake.Luo Qin’s life one year later ●She was seen in the activities remembering the one-year anniversary of the quake.

A.it is an outdoor sportB.it improves our healthC.it uses fewer resourcesD.it is recommended by experts4.The author writes the passage to ________.A.show us the function of major sportsB.encourage us to go in for green sportsC.discuss the major influence of popular sportsD.introduce different types of environmentally friendly sports答案根底落实ⅠⅡⅢ6.out7.in8.to9.in;for10.like;onⅣ.1.beneficial to 2.was unable 3.was accelerated4.be available 5.The mass productionⅤ.1.focus our attention on 2.a probability that he will be late 3.be during the outing that 4.were the crops damaged 5.had come yesterday能力提升1.A2.D3.C4.B。

B.Pay membership fees every year. C.Order four books in the first year. D.Send money when you buy the book. C 解析:细节理解题。根据Being a member中的All we are asking you to do while you are a member is to choose four books during your first year.可知,作为俱乐部会员,第一年需要购买四本书。 3.What can we learn about a Club Choice book? A.It is a best-seller. B.It is a must-buy book. C.It is sold at a high price. D.It is presented in monthly club magazines.

It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain. Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else. There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it. At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with applethemed fun and games. Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent. 【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章对英国苹果节的举办规模、活动安排、苹果种类及种植环境等进行了介绍。 4.What can people do at the apple events? A.Attend experts’ lectures. B.Visit fruitloving families. C.Plant fruit trees in an orchard. D.Taste many kinds of apples. D 解析:细节理解题。从第二段首句“Visiting an apple event...often taste, a wide variety of apples.”可直接获取答案。 5.What can we learn about Decio? A.It is a new variety. B.It has a strange look. C.It is rarely seen now. D.It has a special taste. C 解析:推理判断题。A选项“Decio是一种新品种”与第二段中的“it can be...still in existence”不一致,且由这句话可知Decio现在比较罕见,故C项正确;文中并未提及Decio的外形奇异,故B选项错误;D选项“It has a special taste.”与第二段中的“Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try”表述相反。 6.What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean? A.A practical idea. B.A vain hope. C.A brilliant plan. D.A selfish desire. B 解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段可知,Orleans Reinette品种虽然口感好,但对种植环境和土壤要求高,因此对于大多数喜欢它的人来说,大饱口福只是一种脱离实际的愿望,这与B项“A vain hope.”(徒劳的希望)一致。 7.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A.To show how to grow apples. B.To introduce an apple festival. C.To help people select apples.
