When I was at the age of nine, my parents took us to the lake, 10 miles away, every day for a whole summer, me and my two brothers, Hap and Danny. To be honest, we were all a little too wild.
At that time, our car had only an outdated AM radio. A trip to the lake meant over an hour in the car, along with winding mountain roads where the AM radio could not pick up any signal. My parents must have figured out early that if they didn’t keep us three boys busy and focused, we would eventually start fighting just to have something to do. They made up various games. They told wonderful stories. He could even recite(背诵) “Casey at the Bat,” “The Raven,” “Dangerous Dan McGrew” or any of the other narrative poems at the drop of a hat.
One of the poems that fascinated me most was a bit of nonsense verse(打油诗) which I later found out was called “The Dying Fisherman’s Song.” It begins: “It was a summer’s day in winter / And the rain was snowing fast / As a barefoot girl with shoes on/ Stood sitting in the grass...” I was hooked. These lines in my head were kept repeating over and over, week after week, until they burned new electrical pathways in my brain.
I did what any 9-year-old poetry addict would do, given the circumstances: I read CRICKET magazine, hungrily. I was greatly influenced by their poems, and I am so thankful for what its publisher, Marianme Carus, did — creating such a prefect magazine for 9-year-olds. Yes, I fell in love with funny children’s poetry. It’s a love affair that continues to this day, 10 books related with poetry (of my own) later.
24. What can we say about the author’s parents
A. They were hard on their sons. B. They knew their children well.
C. They were famous game makers. D. They focused on adventure education.
25. What might the underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Shocked. B. Scared.
C. Attracted. D. Confused.
26. What does the author think of CRICKET magazine
A. It made him a child poet. B. It was intended for young poets.
C. It had a significant impact on him. D. It was Marianme Carus’s first book.
27. Why does the author write this passage
A. To introduce a poetry addict. B. To show off his creation talent.
C. To recommend some funny poetry. D. To share his passion for poetry.
C
English is full of funny expressions that don’t always make sense. Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. Here are some English idioms based on animals.
When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”. To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.
Many American families have and love pet dogs. But for some unknown reason, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are “as sick as a dog”, you’re really, really sick.
Sometimes you may also hear cats mentioned in conversations, “I told you to keep that secret, but you have just ‘let the cat out of the bag’!” You probably guessed it — that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.
Dogs and cats don’t always get along, but they appear side by side in a commonly used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s “raining cats and dogs”.
Heavy rain often ruins people’s plans for outdoor activities. But on a lovely day, you can have a picnic. If a swarm(一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover(盘旋) around you, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”.
Idioms are very common in both spoken and written English. If you want to have a better understanding of English, you have to learn idioms.
28. According to Paragraph 1, idioms are _______.
A. expressions which are based on animals
B. expressions with rich cultural background
C. expressions that always make sense
D. expressions which are easy to understand
29. “Monkeying around” can be used to describe children _______.
A. jumping around and wasting time
B. doing something useful and serious
C. playing with monkeys with their parents
D. spending time playing with their family pets
30. What can be learned from the text
A. Dogs and cats always get along nicely.
B. Bugs can be used to show your annoyance.
C. Americans believe cats can give away secrets.
D. Americans use the idiom “as sick as a dog” to describe a healthy man.
31. How does the text mainly develop
A. By sharing experiences. B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving examples. D. By listing figures.
D
New genetically modified(转基因) apples designed by a biology company are being released this fall but won’t be labeled as GMOs(转基因生物). They’re called Arctic apples, whose genes have been changed from their original Golden Delicious state to make sure that after the fruits are cut open and exposed to the air, their flesh won’t turn brown in color.
The development company, Okanagan Specialty Fruits, says the apples may be on sale as bagged slices in up to 400 stores this season throughout the Midwest and Southern California. The fruit won’t bear the standard “produced with genetic engineering” label because of a 2016 law allowing codes to be visible on the packaging that link to a website with information on how the fruit was made.
The apples were made using a technique called gene silencing. The Okanagan team engineered the fruit’s DNA to produce less enzyme(酶) that causes the white, inner flesh to brown so that the new and improved slices will stay fresh for up to three weeks. Although there are only about 250 acres of Arctic apple trees currently planted across the US, the team hopes GMO fruits can reduce waste and increase apple sales overall.
While some experts believe that the Arctic apple’s GMO status isn’t harmful, groups opposing GMOs have started protesting the apples. An organization called Friends of the Earth claims that they’re “understudied, unlabeled and unnecessary.” Right now, apple slices treated with calcium and vitamin C can be purchased off Amazon with the promise of not browning before they arrive on the customer’s doorstep. And, a little bit of lemon juice is an easier and more natural way to prevent cut apples from turning color for a few hours.
32. The Arctic apples will not be labeled “GMO” because ________.
A. actually these apples are not genetically modified food
B. the fruit will be sold as bagged slices in up to 400 stores
C. there is not enough space for the label on the packaging
D. information of their apples can be checked on the Internet
33. How do Arctic apples stay fresh according to the Okanagan team
A. By changing the fruit’s DNA to reduce relevant enzyme.
B. By decreasing the percentage of engineers in the team.
C. By treating apple slices with calcium and vitamin C.
D. By adding a little bit of lemon juice to the slices.
34. What is the Friends of the Earth’s attitude to Arctic apples
A. Disapproving. B. Indifferent.
C. Favorable. D. Cautious.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Traditional Way to Keep Arctic Apples From Turning color
B. Protest against Apples Entering US Markets due to the label
C. GM Apples That Don’t Brown to Reach US Shelves This Fall
D. Apples That Can Stay Free of Browning as Long as Three Months

One summer when I was ten years old, my brother and I received a wonderful gift — tennis rackets (球拍) and balls. We had never had the opportunity to play tennis, so this was exciting. However, there was one problem — the small town we lived in did not have a tennis court (网球场).
One Saturday morning my brother said, “Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s take our tennis rackets and balls to the school and hit the balls against the school building.”
“Great idea! Let’s go,” I agreed, not realizing what a lesson we would learn.
When we got to the school ground, no one was around, so we began hitting our balls against the side of the building. “I’ll hit it the first time,” my brother suggested, “then you hit it the next time. We’ll hit it back and forth to each other.” So we began taking turns hitting the ball, getting more confident with each hit. Actually, we became pretty good at returning the ball and we were hitting the ball higher and faster each time. Suddenly, the unexpected thing happened — the ball got out of control and went crashing through one of the upstairs windows, leaving lots of broken glass on the ground. We looked around and no one was in sight except there was a guard sitting there over a distance.
Quietly, I asked, “Now what should I do ”
“Well,” my brother answered, “no one saw us, except that old man down there. And he probably can’t see this far.”
“He probably doesn’t know who we are anyway... Let’s go home,” I added.
As we picked up the rest of our balls and went home, we discussed whether to tell Mom and Dad what had happened. Would we be punished for our mistakes Would every penny we had saved go to pay for the window Or just keep it a secret We thought about all these things all the way.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
But that decision was made the moment we walked into the house. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

But that decision was made the moment we walked into the house. As we were about to tell Mom what had happened, she asked first. Gathering the courage, we told her. “Oh, my goodness!” my mother said. After a short while, Dad came up and said, “Well, the first thing on Monday, you two have to talk to the headmaster and admit your mistake. You will probably have to pay for the window, but that is what you two should do.”
On Monday, my brother and I went to school. With our hearts beating wildly, we went to the headmaster and told the whole story. Smiling, he told us that he had known it from the school guard, and he was glad we were there. He said the school would repair the window, so we needn’t worry. “I am proud of you,” he continued. We felt proud too and learned it was good to be honest.

17-20 W: Good afternoon and welcome to Seattle Houseboat Tours. My name’s Elizabeth Jones and I’m your guide today. This is my houseboat Moonlight. Before we go on board, I’d like to give you a little background information. Seattle has one of the largest numbers of houseboats in the U.S. — about 500 of them in fact. That’s quite a high number and shows how popular houseboat living is here. We’re at the southern end of Lake Union right now. As you have probably seen already, this is a lively area with restaurants and shops and cafes. During our one-hour tour you’ll see a number of houseboats. People can pay millions of dollars for the biggest of these. Some of them are quite amazing and have two or three floors. My own is one of the smallest boats, but I still have plenty of room, as you’ll see when I show you around. My living area includes one bedroom with a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. I also have electricity, running water and network, so I really do have everything I need. You may be interested to know that I’m writing a book on the history of houseboats in the city, and this should be on sale from early July. Well, thank you for listening so far. Now let’s move into the boat and start the tour.
