(1)句意:一天,蔬菜和树彼此不能很好地相处。other plants其他的植物;the gardener园丁;each other互相;the pumpkin南瓜。根据下句话The vegetables disliked the tree because they thought the tree didn't leave them enough ___2___ by covering them with its thick leaves while the tree thought that the vegetables drank nearly all the water before it could reach him.可知,这里是说蔬菜和树他们彼此不能好好相处,故应选C。
(2)句意:蔬菜不喜欢这棵树因为他们认为树用厚厚的叶子覆盖着他们,他们就不能有足够的阳光。light 阳光;water 水;air 空气;wind风。根据句意by covering them with its thick leaves树用厚厚的叶子覆盖了蔬菜,这样他们就没有足够的阳光,故应选A。
(3)句意:一天蔬菜们决定把地里所有的水都用完,这样树就会干死。look up 查阅;use up 用完,用尽;pick up 拾起,捡起;put up张贴,搭建。根据句意so that the tree would dry up树会干死,所以这里是说蔬菜想把水都用完,故应选B。

【题目】阅读下面两封信并回答问题。
Letter A
Young people are always told that they should make the most of their time, that they will never be as free again. So, my question is — why fill up all this free time with housework?Parents expect their children to get good grades, be good at sports, and be popular with other kids.
However,there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well. It's not fair to expect teenagers to give up their precious time to do boring housework. Parents and children both have jobs. Parents' jobs are in the work-place. Their children's jobs are at school.
The only difference is that parents get paid and children don't. Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility. But this is just a trick. Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy.
Yours,
Overloaded
Letter B
Both parents and children have jobs. The parents' job is to go to work to earn money. The children's job is to go to school. But we all get hungry. Someone has to cook the meals and clean up afterward. We all wear clothes that get dirty. Someone has to wash them, iron them, and put them away. Children work from 9 until 4. Parents work from 8 until 6. Sure, after 4 o'clock, children have homework. But after 6, parents have homework too. They have to do the shopping, go to the bank, pay the bills, and help their kids with their own homework!
I think it's only fair that teenagers help out a bit at home. They might not like it, but it's good for them.It teaches them how to look after themselves.This is really useful when they leave home to go to college or to live on their own.
(1)Who most probably wrote Letter B,a parent or a child?
(2)Why does Letter B say it's good for teenagers to help out a bit at home?
(3)The two letters agree that parents and children both have jobs,don't they?
(4)Do you agree that children should do housework at home? Why or Why not?

So it is difficult for left-handers to use most tools. If you are right handed, try this experiment: Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Don't be surprised if you feel awkward(别扭的).
In the past, people thought it was strange to use the left hand. Young students looked down upon their left-handed classmates. Some children were even punished for using their left hand to write. But these days parents and teachers have accepted that. In almost every school in the world, left-handed students can use their left hand to write.

One out of every ten people just is a left-hander. It's simply like the color of our eyes – some people have brown eyes, while some others have black eyes.
However, may researchers think that left-handers and right-handers are different in some aspects. Right-handers are more talkative and outgoing than left-handers. Many right-handed people understand spoken words better. For example, after they listen to directions to a supermarket, they can find it easily. Right-handers are good at organizing people, too. They are also better basketball guards. Just ask Yao Ming.
Research shows that left-handers are creative and artistic. Many famous performers, like Jim Carrey and Paul McCartney, are left handed. Many left-handers learn better visually(在视觉方面). In art, both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were left handed. In music, Ludwig van Beethoven was left handed. In science, you find Newton and Einstein. The left-handed people are also really good at tennis and other single sports.
If you prefer one hand, but you are still good at writing with the other, you are mixed. Research shows mixed-handers can remember everyday things better than other people. What did you eat for lunch two weeks ago? If you're mixed handed, you can probably remember.
(1)If right-handers cut up potatoes with there left hand, they will .

【题目】"Fall" and"Autumn"
What season is it in October? If you ask people from the UK, they will tell you it's "autumn". But if you go to the US, you will find that people use“autumn" or“fall".
According to Dictionary .com, both words have been around for a long time, but neither of them was the first to describe this season. During this season, crops (庄稼) would become ripe (成熟) and farmers would have a big harvest. So in Old English, this season was simply called "harvest" .
Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities. With fewer people farming, the word "harvest" became less useful. English speakers needed a different name for the season. They knew leaves fell from trees during the season, so people started calling it“the fall of the leaf", or“fall" for short.
But at the end of the 1600s, autumn, from the French word "autompne" and the Latin "autumnus" came to England. "Fall" as the word for this season disappeared slowly.
At the same time, people in the UK were making their first trips to North America. They brought both the words“fall" and“autumn" with them. That's why today's Americans have two names for one season.
