【题目】 Growing a Family Business Every Saturday and Sunday this fall, while other kids are sleeping in or preparing for a soccer game, Phillip Gargiulo, age 11, will be up at 5 a.m. sweeping floors. It's hard work, but Phillip's job at Masker Orchards(果园) isn't just a job-it's all for his family.

Masker is one of the largest pick-it-yourself apple orchards in the New York area, with 200 acres(英亩) of land and 16,000 trees. The orchard was founded in 1913 by the Masker family. In 1969, Phillip's grandfather bought the land. His three kids and six grandkids have been running the family business ever since.

On a good weekend, there will be more than 800 customers. One of Phillip's jobs is to count the items they bought, give customers a total, and take their money. That's a lot of apples-and a lot of math! And more than 100 teens work there, too. For their hard work, the Gargiulo kids are paid15 per hour. After working there for seven years, Phillip has saved3,000. He's planning to use it to buy a car one day, and to help pay for college.

Having a family business means much more than making money. It also means making sacrifices.

"Growing up, it was good and bad," says Phillip's mom. She's been working at the orchard since she was 4 years old. "From August to Halloween, I would be busy. In high school, you want to be with your friends, out doing other things. That wasn't always possible when I had to be at the orchard."

Phillip, too, sees both sides. "I'm learning how to run a business, and I'm learning what hard work is really all about." he says. He admits, though, that some mornings, when his alarm clock goes off in the early morning, he'd rather be sleeping in or playing baseball with friends. "But I'm learning to do things that I will need for the rest of my life," he says. "And I'm spending time with my family. I love it."

1Phillip gets up early every weekend to ______ .

A.finish his homeworkB.do the work for his family

C.prepare for a soccer gameD.go for a run in the morning

2What does Phillip do on a good weekend in Masker?

A.To plant some apple trees.

B.To work on math problems.

C.To play baseball with friends.

D.To count apples and take the money.

3What can we learn from this passage?

A.Getting something probably means giving up something.

B.It's necessary to make money as early as possible.

C.Growing up means doing what you want to do.

D.There is nothing more important than parents.

【题目】阅读下列短文,然后从ABCD四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Have you ever wanted to have a doll that could talk to you? In the book The Ventriloquist's Daughter, a girl named Liur gets a doll like this. But it doesn't turn out to be as fun as she thought.

Lin Man-Chiu, an author from Taiwan, wrote the book. British translator Helen Wang translated it into English. The book tells a touching story about Liur and her father.

Liur loses her mother at a young age. Her grandfather sends her father to a medical school in the US. Five years later, he comes back with a doll named Carola, as he once promised he would. This doll is quite unusual-it can talk! However, Carola makes a lot of problems for the family.

After reading this book. I thought Liur and her father were just unlucky. In fact, this story is based on the author's own unhappy childhood. She had six sisters. Still, her grandfather wanted a grandson. Her father was under heavy pressure and didn't live with her and her sisters for a very long time. The author didn't like her father when she was young. But now she has forgiven him. The talking doll Carola stands for her father's burden (负担).

After I learned thisI understood the author's main message. Everyone has demons (心魔) in their lives, but we should do our best to beat them.

1Who wrote the book The Ventriloquist's Daughter?

A.Lin Man-Chiu.B.Liur.C.Helen Wang.D.Carola.

2Carola is unusual because .

A.it is a dollB.it looks like a humanC.it can read booksD.it can talk

3What is the main message of the book?

A.We should try harder to understand our parents.B.A talking doll can cause many problems.

C.We should try to beat the demons in our hearts.D.Too many children can be a burden on a family.

【题目】 Robert Frost is an American poet(诗人), who was born in 1874 in San Francisco, but spent most of his years in snowy places like Massachusetts. Most of his poems were about nature and the New England sights. Frost is known for creating simple poems in everyday English. He was big on sounds, often talking about how the sounds of words carry more meaning than the words themselves. His most famous poem is as follows:

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer(古怪的)

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells(佩铃)a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake(雪花).

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

This poem was written in 1922, two years before Frost won the first of his four Pulitzer Prizes. The poem tells the story of a man traveling to a town, who is pretty much in love with what he sees, but can’t quite make himself leave the lovely and dark woods.
