【题目】China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled around the country. Everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them are black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing, I've found the opposite (对立面) is true. There are millions of cars.
However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors — silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on pavements. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.
Wanting to be part of this way of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. After my great buy, I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be
safe, I stayed with a "pack" of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air was hitting my face and going through my hair. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
【1】According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A. Because they are traditional and safe.
B. Because they are convenient (方便的) and cheap.
C. Because they are colorful and beautiful.
D. Because they are fast and environmentally friendly.
【2】The author decided to buy a bicycle because he meant _________.
A. to ride it for fun
B. to use it for transport
C. to experience local culture
D. to improve his riding skills
【3】How did the author feel about his street cross-ing?
A. It was boring. B. It was difficult.
C. It was lively. D. It was wonderful.
【4】Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?
A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B. The author was angry at the air while riding.
C. The author was praised by other bikers.
D. The author took great pleasure in biking.
【答案】
【1】B
【2】C
【3】B
【4】D

试题分析:本文为记叙文。中国在过去是自行车的王国,而现在仍然有很多人喜欢骑自行车出行,因为这种交通方式方便、省钱。为了融入这种文化,“我”也买了一辆自行车。但是在回家途中,发现骑车过街是最大的问题,需要时间、技巧和一点儿运气。但是骑行经历让“我”觉得很愉快、很有趣。
【1】B细节理解题。根据第一段中的For many,it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.可知,自行车如今仍然很受欢迎,是因为它的便捷和经济。根据倒数第二段 I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. 和倒数第三段 so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.的叙述可知,骑自行车并不安全,速度也不是很快,故A项和D项错误;文章虽然提到了自行车的颜色多种多样,但这并不是它受欢迎的原因,故C项错误,故选B。
【2】C细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture...可知,作者购买自行车是因为迫切地想融入中国的这种文化之中,故C项正确。作者在有了骑行经历之后才发现了其中的乐趣,故A项错误;文章并未提到作者购买自行车是为了作为交通工具或者提高骑行技术,故排除B项和D项,故选C。
【3】B细节理解题。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的叙述Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck可知,骑车过街是最大的问题,需要时间、技巧和运气,因此作者认为骑车过街非常困难。其余选项均与本段内容不符,故选B。
【4】D细节理解题。由最后一段The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air was hitting my face and going through my hair. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. 可知,空气吹拂脸颊和头发的感觉很美妙,骑行时就像坐在了世界的顶端,骑自行车使作者觉得充满了活力。由此可判断出,作者觉得骑自行车很有乐趣,故D项正确。A项意为“作者喜欢炫耀自己的骑行技术”;B项意为“作者很讨厌骑行时的空气”;C项意为“作者被其他骑行人员赞扬了”,均与文章内容不符,故选D。

【题目】Lakes, ponds, and beaches mean summer fun and cool relaxation from hot weather.But water also can be dangerous for kids if you don't take great care.Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning.Here are some tips to keep your kids safe in the water:
At the Lake or Pond
●Don't let little kids swim alone without adult supervision— lakes or ponds may be shallow near the bank and are suddenly deep sharply further out from shore.

【题目】For 40 years, people in London have been happy to see parakeets (马尾鹦鹉) in their parks. The shocking green body and long tail have brought a bright color to the parks, which have attracted a lot of people.
However, the parakeets are no longer welcome. They will push out local birds from trees to build their own nests, and will also take most of the food in the parks, such as seeds, fruit and nuts.
Sometimes by accident, plants and animals are carried to new places. They are transported by trains, ships or even planes. Often, animals like fishes get transported in the water containers of ships. When these ships reach new places and pump out the water from their tanks, these animals will start a new life in a new place.
Sometimes people take plants and animals from one part of the world to the other to solve a problem. But it will create a bigger problem. Years ago, the sugarcane (甘蔗) farmers of northern Australia brought the toads (蟾蜍) from South America to their farms. They thought they would kill the beetles (甲虫) that harm the sugarcane crops. But the toad has done much more. It is now killing Australia’s native animals, such as snakes, water birds and so on.
【1】 People get interested in parakeets mainly because of ____.
A. their appearance B. their singing
C. their behavior D. their living environment
【2】How do the parakeets affect the local birds?
A. They sometimes kill the local birds.
B. They destroy trees which the local birds live in.
C. They take the local birds nests and food.
D. They have attracted much of peoples attention.
【3】What is the third paragraph mainly talking about?
A. How animals and plants come to new lands.
B. How a new animal affects the local animals.
C. Why some plants are introduced to a new place.
D. The role of ships in transporting animals and plants.
【4】 What can we learn about the toads?
A. They didnt kill the beetles at all.
B. They were brought to Australia by accident.

【题目】If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t. _【1】__The moment you decide to give up or to stop working toward your goals, failure is born.
__【2】_
Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don’t do that! __【3】__ Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.
Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.
It’s a good idea to set a general timeline(时间表), but remember that something will be beyond your control. __【4】_If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.
Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.
Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you are weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. __【5】__You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.
A. Never give up on yourself.
B. Failure only exists in your own mind!
C. That’s exactly how failure makes us feel.
D. It simply means you have not done enough yet.
E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.
F. Make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!
G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.

My father is now in his late forty but he looks young for his age. He is very strict with me, especial in my studies. Besides, I know he loves me deeply in his heart. Once I fail to do well in my math exam, I was afraid that it would make my father angry and disappointing. On contrary, he said I had tried my best and offered him a few words of encouragement. He told me that there is no need to feel bad about one and two failures and the most important thing is to learn anything from failure and never give up. Today is Father’s Day and I want to say thank you for my father.
