AI’m not the kind of mother who often brushes her daughter’s hair,and my daughter has never liked sitting quietly long enough for me to do it.But today,I took a chair outside and let my daughter Kitty sit on it.She was sitting high with her eyes closed,skin still wet from the shower and her messy hair behind her back.I realized she was taking in every touch from my hands.Today we would send Kitty away for a week of a summer camp.This was all my idea.She’s nearly12,and I notice that I’m with my child nearly24 hours a day.Living on the farm without neighbors,Kitty has become increasingly dependent on me.After lunch,we drove to the camp place.After we got out of the car,we were introduced to the other children.Kitty followed me closely,holding my hand all the time.“I need you for a few more minutes.”she said to me,horror in her eyes.I pulled away and walked up to a camp worker.“Excuse me.”I said loudly,“I’d like to introduce you to my daughter.Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids.”He came over to talk to Kitty and I kissed on her face.Then we all disappeared before Kitty realized we had left.On my way home,I felt a piece of my soul had been taken away from my body.I began to shake.Tears came down my face.When I arrived home,I calmed down and reminded myself why I chose this path.“I want Kitty to have a chance to find herself,out of my shadow.If I don’t set her free,I’m afraid she won’t be independent forever.”I said to myself.16.How long would the camp last?A.5days.B.7days.C.12days.D.24days.17.How did Kitty feel when she arrived at camp?A.Scared.B.Excited.C.Cool.D.Tired.18.What does independent mean in Chinese?A.勇敢的B.独立的C.大方的D.大胆的19.What does the author want to tell us by writing this passage?A.Kids should not stay with their parents.B.Kids should often go out for summer camps.C.Parents should not give their children any help.D.Parents should help their children to be independent.BWe’ve talked about snails(蜗牛)and their slow move.But much of the time snails don’t move at all.They’re in their shells(壳)---sleeping.Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body.So at the least sign of hot sun,a snail draws its body into its shell and closes the opening with a thin cover.Then it goes to sleep.A snail will die in a heavy rain.So whenever it rains,it goes inside its shell house and goes to sleep.A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to.It can take a short sleep.Or it can sleep for days at a time.And it spends all the winter months in its shell,asleep.In spring,the snail wakes up.Its body,about three inches long,comes out of from the shell. When hungry,the snail looks for food.It can’t see very well.Its eyes,at the ends of the top feelers (触角)are very weak.But its sense of smell is very strong.It helps the snail to the new greens. Then the snail’s little mouth goes to work.A snail’s mouth is no longer than the point of a pin(针).Yet it has256,000teeth!The teeth are so small that you can’t see them.But they do their work.If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out.And if a snail wears out its teeth,it will grow new ones.Mostly,a snail looks for food at night.But on cloudy days it eats in the daytime.It eats all day long.A snail can go on eating for hours and never feel full.20.A snail__________.A.moves more slowly in the daytimeB.has thousands of feetC.doesn’t move at allD.sleeps much of the time21.In the sentence“A snail draws its body into its shell”the word“draw”means_________.A.to make with a penB.to keep away fromC.to pullD.to move to end22.From the story we know_________.A.the snail’s shell is very thinB.a snail can’t see wellC.the snail’s nose is quite shortD.the snail’s body changes in different seasons23.Which of the following is not true?A.A snail doesn’t like living under the sun.B.In winter the snail doesn’t eat or move.C.The snail’s teeth can’t be worn out..D.The snail’s strong sense of smell helps to find things far away.CTeenager Jake Deham was skiing(滑雪)with his family in the USA when he fell over and lost one of his skis.His family didn’t know that he had a problem.They kept on skiing.When theygot to the foot of the mountain,there was no sign of Jake.Jake couldn’t find his ski anywhere.In the end,he decided to take off his other ski and walk down the mountain.But he couldn’t work out the right way to go.It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety.He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures.But Jake kept calm(镇定).At home,Jake watched a lot of programmes about living in difficult situations.He remembered the advice from these programmes and knew that he should build a hole in the snow.He made a hole and pointed it up the hill so the wind couldn’t blow into it.Outside his hole,the temperature fell to a dangerous-15℃that night,but inside it Jake was safe from the cold.But he had to get down the mountain.The TV programmes always said,“If you are lost,you should find someone else’s tracks(足迹)through the snow and follow them.”“I wanted to live my life.”remembers Jake.“So I got up and I found some ski tracks and I followed those.”He walked and walked and finally he saw lights.Nine hours after he lost his ski,he found a team of worker who came to save him.He was safe!His mum was very happy when she heard the news.Amazingly,Jake didn’t even have to go to hospital.He got through the terrible experience without any injuries.So,the next time someone says that watching TV is a waste of time,think of Jake. Sometimes TV can save your life!24.Jake’s parents didn’t know that he was missing until.A.Jake lost one of his skisB.they began to ski down the mountainC.a team of workers found JakeD.they reached the foot of the mountain25.What was the most important decision Jake made for his safety?A.To build a hole in the snow to keep himself warmB.To search for the ski that he had lost in the snow.C.To take off his other ski and walk down the mountain.D.To go skiing with his family in the USA.26.How did Jake get down the mountain the next morning?A.He followed his parents.B.He followed the workers.C.He followed some ski tracks.D.He followed some light.27.Facing the difficulties,Jake Denham was.A.polite and hardworkingB.calm and cleverC.outgoing and helpfulD.warm and friendlyDPeople often decide where to live based on the natural resources in the area.Natural resources are things that are useful to people and come from the earth.Materials for building houses are natural resources.So are foods,such as fruits,vegetables,animals that could be caught or hunted and water.The weather and landforms let certain things grow in different areas.They also determine(决定)which living things will be able to grow there.Areas with very rich soil are made to be good farming communities.Poor soil may send farmers to look for better places.However,areas with poor soil may attract those who have other purposes for the land.Poor soil doesn’t matter if you want to build a factory.It also doesn’t matter if it grows grass well.Each area attracts people based on their interests and purposes.Areas that support many different interests will naturally have larger populations.You may not think of the mountains, lakes or oceans as natural resources.In fact they are.Villages and cities built near water sources have been the most successful.People who want to catch fish for a living choose to live by the ocean,instead of the desert.People living near water can use it to meet their daily needs.Places that are difficult to reach will naturally have fewer people.Places that are high on mountain tops are not very desirable to most people.Neither are places that are in the middle of hot,dry deserts.For too long,humans have destroyed resources.We have been using up those that can’t be easily replaced.Renewable(可再生的)resources are those that can be replaced easily.We are lucky to have many resources that are renewable,such as the sun,wind,water and trees.We need to use more renewable resources.This will protect our planet.28.Areas with very rich soil can be used as________.A.fishing placesB.farming communitiesC.a factoryD.ranching places29.Which of the following does NOT belong to natural resources?A.Animals that could be caught.B.Materials for building houses.C.The mountains,lakes or oceans.D.Beds,tables and chairs.30.What is the best title for the passage?A.The natural resources.B.An area’s weather.C.How to choose your house.D.Renewable resources.第二节下面一篇短文(第31—35题)需要添加小标题。
