That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song in 1934.But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It is cold outside. The wind blows and makes it even colder. The days are shorter and darker. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown or have fallen to the ground. The flowers are mostly gone. It is not surprising that some people are sad in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it is warm and pretty—like the state of California. The Mamas and the Papas recorded their famous song “California Dreaming” in 1965.During the 1960s, many other famous rock groups sang songs about winter. Here is a song by Simon and Garfunkel called “A Hazy Shade of Winter”. They sing about life and hope.In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle, sad song about winter. They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in “Sometimes in Winter”.Gordon Lightfoot wrote and recorded another sad and lovely song about winter in 1975. Sarah Mclachlan recorded “Song for a Winter’s Night” for an album in 2006.

So he had to find someone to rule the country.The other day, the king had an idea. He asked his servants to travel to every part of the country and give every citizen a single orchid seed (种子). He then announced (宣布) that the person who grew the most beautiful orchid would take his throne.Everyone in the country then got their own seed. One young man named David was especially excited about the news, because he had experience in growing flowers himself.David planted his seed in a pot and put it in a place where it would get lots of sunlight. He watered it carefully every day. But hard as he tried, his flower simply would not grow.Finally, it was time for everyone to give their flowers to the king. David took his empty pot to the palace. “Your Majesty (陛下), I am sorry to say that l could not grow an orchid. But I hope you can see that l tried my best,” he said.The king was moved by David’s honesty. Although he did not choose David as the new king, he gave David a job as a royal court judge (法官). He believed that David’s honesty would make him the right person to make sure of the justice (公正) in the country.22．According to the king’s order, who could be the next king?A．The man who was the smartest.B．The man who was the most honest.C．The man who could plant the best seed.D．The man who could grow the most beautiful orchid.23．What do we know about David?A．He told a joke to the king.B．He failed to grow the king’s orchid.C．He was good at growing orchids.D．He was chosen to be the next king. 24．What can we learn from the story?A．David was the only winner in the end.B．It is stupid of the king to choose David as a judge.C．It is impolite of David to give an empty pot to the king.D．The king believed honesty was very important for a judge.25．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Honesty is the Best Policy B．How to Grow OrchidsC．Flowers are the Best Gifts D．It’s Very Easy to Grow Orchids七①Have you ever heard that groundhogs can predict (预测) the end of winter? How about that elephants never forget things? Or that dogs can smell the strange? That may not be 100% true. However, many animals do have stronger senses than humans.①Do animals have a sixth sense that can tell the future? That may sound out of this world. However, many events seem to support this idea.①Thousands of years ago, a big earthquake hit Helike, Greece. Buildings came down. Many people were hurt. But there was something amazing. The city’s animals acted strangely days before the earthquake. Rats and snakes ran from the city in groups. Did they know an earthquake was coming? In 1975, one million people had to leave their hometown, Haicheng, Liaoning Province with the help of Chinese government. Why? They believed a disaster was coming. They thought this, in part,because of animals’ strange behaviours. Just days later, a large earthquake hit the city. Experts (专家) said 150,000 could have lost their lives if people stayed in the city at that time. In December 2004, the animals of Sri Lanka were acting strange. Elephants ran around. Dogs wouldn’t go outside. Zoo animals wouldn’t leave their home. Soon after people saw these strange behaviours, a tsunami (海啸) hit the island.①Animals seem to be pretty good at predicting (预测) disasters. But it doesn’t stop there! Some of them even seem to sense small changes in the weather before they happen. Bees are known to find places before it rains. Dairy farmers say they can tell a big storm is coming when their cows lie down. Cats and dogs are also said to know when a storm is on its way, as are birds and turtles. Can animals really tell the future?①Experts say it’s unlikely (不可能的) that animals can tell the future. However, they might hear or feel the earthquake before people do. Even though scientists have not proved animals have the ability to predict disasters before they happen and animals’ predictions aren’t always right, it’s not bad to pay attention to the animals. 26．According to the passage, we know many animals ________.A．can tell the future in different ways B．have better sense abilities than humans C．act strangely after some natural disasters D．use the sixth sense to predict earthquakes27．The word “behaviours” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A．actions B．senses C．ideas D．feelings 28．How many examples do the writer use in Paragraph 3 to support the idea that animals can tell the future?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four D．Five. 29．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．Animals are good at helping farmers.B．Animals are good at finding their homes.C．Animals seem to know the future problems.D．Animals seem to know the weather changes.30．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Can Animals Predict the Future?B．Do Animals Have Stronger Senses?C．How Do Animals Save People’s Life?D．What Are Animals’ Ways to Tell the Future?八Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.I saw so many kinds of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish.On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking, “I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I am never doing this again!”That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish.Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed (尴尬的) that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running.As I crossed the finishing line, I was so proud of myself. I didn’t regret (后悔) having such an experience.31．Why did the writer join in the running race?A．He was crazy about running for the race.B．He just wanted to try something new.C．He though he had rich running experience.D．He expected to see if he was strong enough.32．How did the writer’s feeling change during the race?① He decided to keep on running.① He felt very proud of himself.① He was kind of embarrassed.① He regretted joining in the race.A．①→①→①→①B．①→①→①→①C．①→①→①→①D．①→①→①→①33．What did the writer try to tell us?A．We should volunteer as teenagers.B．We should cheer up for old people.C．We should run our own race in life.D．We should try our best to be No. 1.附答案及解析1．C 2．B 3．D 4．D 5．A解析：本文主要介绍富美子在纽约度过的快乐时光，及她对纽约的喜爱之情。
