Spend a few weeks at West Hill Farm. Good food. Fresh air. Horse riding. Walking. Fishing. Cheap and interesting.”“This sounds a good idea,” he thought. “I’ll spend a month at West Hill Farm.

It was dusk and as I walked alone I came across six large wolves（狼）that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow that surrounded the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 metres from me and stared. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling my presence. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time let out a long, loud cry. The awful cry rang out across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost certain it was a sign to be death.Every moment I expected to see the pack of wolves dash（冲）at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general（将军）moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my direction or make me run they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am certain the whole pack would have attacked（进攻）me in a moment. But my show of false courage intimidated them and kept them back.1. How did the writer feel when he caught sight of the wolves?A. He felt very surprisedB. He felt very happy.C.

Mom asked me, “Mary, have you decided yet?” Last year we picked out my costume(流行的服饰) together.I looked down at the book and saw a picture of a kid in a banana costume. I pointed at the banana.

So, in the evening I was going to be at the Halloween party , a big banana in yellow tight(裤袜). “ Everyone will laugh at me.” I thought.When we walked to the party, everyone smiled at cute baby Lucy who was on my mother’s back.

She was afraid. “But where is the path?” Everything was covered with snow. The sky was grey. “What’s the time?” asked Paul. Judy looked at her watch. “Nearly 5 o’clock. It gets dark in an hour. ”“We must start walking, and hope we find the path. I think the snow’s stopping,” said Paul. But it wasn’t stopping. The wind was strong. It blew around then cold and wet.“Just keep gong downhill,” said Judy. “We can’t go wrong. ” Then Paul fell on some rocks. He shouted. “Judy! I’ve hurt my leg!” He couldn’t stand up. His leg hurt too much. “I’ll have to phone for help,”said Judy. “I hope the mobile phone works up here!” Luckily it did. They phoned the mountain service (服务站). “Don’t move!” shouted the man on the phone. “Stay where you are, we’re sending a team there. ”They were not far from the path, so the team found them easily.

On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly（愉快地） enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.( )1.

Most mornings, we’d stop at a local convenience store, getting a chocolate drink for him and a cup of coffee for me.The clerk at the store we chose to visit refreshed our lives each day, and so we returned again and again. She had found her own way of enjoying life and her job. I’ m not even sure that she was realizing that her energy put a smile on the face of each customer.When a customer brought cookies to the counter, any other clerk could have asked: “Would you like some milk with those cookies? ” Instead, she inquired,“Would you like a lottery ticket(彩票) with those cookies?”She might have asked me if I wanted a donut with my coffee. But instead, she asked: “Would you like some batteries(电池) with that coffee?”Yes, life is what you make of it. This clerk’s method of dealing with what some think is a boring job, and with the customers she met daily, made the hours in herday more enjoyable. In doing that, she also refreshed the lives of others and made them laugh.Sometimes, if my day at the church had been particularly tiring, we’d stop at thatstore before heading home. We’d giggle (咯咯笑) as we left the store, the clerk’s words echoing (回响) behind us. “Would you like some shampoo with that soda?”1.What did the writer do a few years ago?A.

Where is the 10?”“I don’t know where the 10 is. Let’s just subtract 179 from 202. Nine from two is three. You carry one and add it to seven. Eight from zero is two. The answer is 23. ”“We can’t do it that way. We have to use the 10. ”“Well, I’m going to call your teacher to see how she subtracts 179 from 202. ”Over the telephone, I said that I was having a bit of trouble with the homework she had given to my daughter. The teacher said, “In the right-hand column (栏) we have units of one. The two in that column counts for two ones. The zero in the center counts for zero tens. The two in the left-hand column counts for hundreds. Are you clear?” But I didn’t think I was clear.I hung up and found my way to the medicine box. My head was now hurting.

And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told the Times: “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water truck. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water– at very high prices.“A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.The average person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters.The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.1: The purpose of the text is to _________.A. tell us what life is like in YemenB. draw our attention to water shortageC. remind us how important water isD. show us ways of solving problems2: The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to _________.A. buying water from shopsB. drinking dirty waterC. suffering from water shortageD. washing clothes with used water3: Hannan described _________.A. what her life is likeB. how beautiful Lahej isC. how people use water fullyD. how heavy the traffic in Lahej is4: The Yemen Government _________.A. has found a practical solutionB. only cares about rich peopleC. may try to make use of seawaterD. can do nothing about the water supply5: We can infer from the text that _________.A.
