一个月一次，或者更确切地说，每29.5天一次，在我们称之为“满月”的 时候，它的整个圆盘看起来很亮。在其他时候，只有一部分看起来是明亮的， 我们总是发现这是面向太阳的部分，而不面向太阳的部分看起来是黑暗的。如 果艺术家们能记住这一点，他们的画就会变得更好——只有那些被太阳照亮的 月球部分才是明亮的。这表明月球本身不发光。它只是反射太阳光，就像挂在 天空中的一面大镜子。
Once a month, or, more exactly, once every 29 and 1/2 days, at the time we call “full moon”， its whole disc looks bright. At other times only part of it appears bright, and we always find that this is the part which faces towards the sun, while the part facing away from the sun appears dark. Artists could make their pictures better if they kept this in mind—only those parts of the moon which are lighted up by the sun are bright. This shows that the moon gives no light of its own. It merel a huge mirror hung in the sky.

flight attendant took us to a souvenir shop,where a toy airplane looked just like the plane my sister and I were flying on.I really wanted that airplane.I had $10 and the plane cost $8.I had no idea what I needed to buy at camp,but I bought the plane anyway.When we reached the camp,I discovered that there were no showers!Instead,we bathed in a lake every night.I needed to buy special soap because the regular soap I brought had chemicals that could harm the fish.The special soap cost $4 at the camp store.However,I had only $2 left.What upset me was that I couldn’t get clean without the soap,which was soon found by my teacher,Sally.I had to tell her that I had spent most of my money on a toy airplane.She laughed and explained to me that a budget was necessary and it wasa plan for spending money to help make sure you set aside enough for things you need,likesoap,before you buy fun things,like toys.Sally gave me one of her extra(额外的) bottles of special soap.When I returned home,I decided to budget.I spent several weeks writing down everything I bought,just to get an idea of how I was already spending my money.Then I made my first weekly budget.My budget wasn’t always the same each week.For some weeks,I would have more in my “Money In”account because I did some jobs around the house.Once summer vacation started,I didn’t need to buy school lunches,so I had extra money to go to the neighbourhood swimming pool.Budgeting was hard,sometimes.Whatever week it was,I always made sure that “Money In”equalled“Save and Spend”.That’s called making ends meet,and it’s how you make sure that the money you have will always be enough to cover your plans to spend and save.1.Why did Sally give the writer one bottle of her special soap?A.The writer’s usual soap did harm to his skin.B.The writer needed to take showers at the camp.C.The writer turned to Sally for it to get clean.D.The writer’s money couldn’t cover the special soap.2.What did the writer learn about at the camp?A.Spending and saving money.B.Getting along with others.C.Making more money.D.Planning his daily life.3.What can be the best title for the text?A.My Summer CampB.My Weekly BudgetC.My Special SoapD.My Lonely Flight四、七选五阅读理解Every new person added to the planet needs food,water,clothes,and so on.1 .Those things require extra natural resources,including land and water.But Earth’s riches are limited.Less than 1 percent of Earth’s water can be used for drinking and washing.One out of every thirteen people around the world does not always have enough clean water.2 .Too many people are using too much water,especially in the already dry areas of the southwestern United States.Food shortages(不足)are even more mon.Worldwide,one out of every seven people does not get enough to eat. 3 .Over time,the soil loses its nutrients(营养)and the farmland bees useless for growing food.As the world bees more crowded(拥挤的),more land is needed to make way for growing cities. 4 .That’s a problem because trees help take in a gas called carbon dioxide.Humans produce carbon dioxide by burning coal and oil.Fewer trees mean more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The buildup of carbon dioxide traps heat and pollution above Earth.5 ,although every person uses the planet’s resources.The richest billion people,Americansespecially,use the most resources.They also produce the most waste.A.Forests are cleared awayB.Some people use a lot more than othersC.Water shortages have hit many parts of the worldD.Water pollution is a serious problem in some areasE.More trees should be planted to handle air pollutionF.Huge needs for food force farmers to overuse their landG.More people mean more cars,roads,schools,hospitals,and stores五、语篇填空A few months ago I left my hometown for Canada to study.I felt nervous because I was going to 1. new place with new people.What worried me at first was that I couldn’t speak English 2.(fluent),and I also couldn’t understand 3.(they)customs.Everything was different 4.my own country.I had to deal with everything alone.It was a sad moment 5. I had to say goodbye to my family and friends at the airport.Suddenly,I felt unwilling 6.(leave) my hometown because I grew up there and had wonderful 7.(memory) of the familiar place.However,I know studying abroad was a 8.(decide) that I made myself.I had to accept the challenge.By now I 9.(get)used to the new life here already,though I’m looking forward to10.(spend) the ing vacation with my old friends back home.六、选词创境运用下列写作词汇,自己创设一个语境,形成一个小语段。
