Many children love to play with snow in winter. But Long Chuan has come to hate it.
This year his hometown suffered from snowstorms (遭受暴風(fēng)雪) for nearly a month. The heavy snow stopped cars and trains, broke the electricity (電) tower and turned tap water to ice.
Every day Long Chuan had to walk several kilometers to carry drinking water. “I couldn’t ride a bike and it took me 3 hours to walk to school. I can’t remember how many times I slipped (滑倒) on the hard ice, ” said Long Chuan.
Long is not alone. This year millions of people in central and southern China had a freezing winter without enough water and electricity. The biggest snowstorms in 50 years killed more than 100 people. They also cost the country 111.1 billion yuan.
Experts (專家) say a special type of climate condition (氣候條件), La Nina, caused the storms. During a La Nina, the water in the Pacific Ocean (太平洋) near the equator (赤道) becomes colder than usual. It changes the weather around the world.
Besides China, Canada, the US and Middle Eastern countries also met with heavy snowstorms this winter. The special climate caused the recent flooding (洪水) in Australia, too.
However, experts say that people have destroyed the environment (環(huán)境). Global warming (全球變暖) may be causing these terrible weather events to happen more and more often.
小題1:What took place in Long Chuan’s hometown last winter?
A.Earthquake.B.Flooding.C.Traffic Accident.D.Heavy snowstorms.
小題2:During the snowstorms this year, Long Chuan  __________.
A.had to walk to carry drinking waterB.had to ride a bike to school

小題5:The passage tells people around the world ___________.
A.to wear more clothes in winterB.to stop riding bikes on the hard ice
C.to protect (保護(hù)) the environmentD.to save water and electricity

小題1:D
小題2:A
小題3:B
小題4:B
小題5:C

小題1:本文第三句為This year his hometown suffered from snowstorms (遭受暴風(fēng)雪) for nearly a month. 所表示的含義為Long Chuan 家鄉(xiāng)遭受了暴風(fēng)雪,故本題選D。
小題2:本文第三段第一句為Every day Long Chuan had to walk several kilometers to carry drinking water.,所表示的含義為每天Long Chuan必須要走數(shù)公里去抬飲用水,故本題選A。
小題3:本文第四段最后一句為They also cost the country 111.1 billion yuan.這次暴風(fēng)雪要花費(fèi)國家1111億元,故本題選B。
小題4:本文第五段第一句為Experts (專家) say a special type of climate condition (氣候條件), La Nina, caused the storms.所表示的含義為一些專家說這種類型的氣候條件是由拉尼娜現(xiàn)象所導(dǎo)致的暴風(fēng)雪,故本題選B。
小題5:本文最后一段提到人們破壞了環(huán)境而導(dǎo)致全球變暖,導(dǎo)致拉尼娜現(xiàn)象,所以本文主要是要告訴全世界的人保護(hù)環(huán)境的重要性,故本題選C。

Kelly Christopher, a student at Lutheran High School in California, US, loves oranges. One day last week, she used a pole(竿子) to pick oranges off trees and collect them in baskets. It’s the first time in her 15 years she’s picked fruit from trees.
"This is quite different from buying oranges in the supermarket," said Christopher. "Every time I eat an orange, I’ll remember this experience."  
Christopher was one of the 30 student volunteers at Soil Born Farms. She volunteered as part of a project which was set up in 2009 to help homeowners in South Land Park pick oranges and other fruits out of their backyards. Before, the fruit would rot on the ground or get eaten by animals. Now the fruit is donated to those who need it.
"It is good for many people", said Randy Stannard, who works for the project. "The homeowner gets fruit picked and more people can have healthy food."
"Two harvests (收成 ) were organized in 2009 and volunteers picked 3,000 pounds (1,360kg) of fruit", Stannard said. In 2010, the number was 20,000. This year, Soil Born Farms hopes to get 40,000 pounds. They will harvest every weekend from January to April.
Shannon Galloway, Christopher’s science teacher, brought her students into the project this year.
"You’re making use of a resource that might be wasted," she said. "I think it’s meaningful to everyone."
Donato Frazier, 15, always climbs up a ladder(梯子) and gets on the top of the tree.
"Standing on the treetop is pretty cool," Frazier said. "I can see clearly that many baskets are filled up, and even see that many people are eating healthy fruit because of our volunteer work."                                          
71. Christopher and other students went to pick fruits from real trees because they wanted to _____.
A. have some fresh fruit for themselves    B. make some money by selling fruit
C. provide people with more healthy fruit   D. buy some cheap fruit from their neighbors
小題1: When was the project set up?
A.In 2008. B.In 2009.C.In 2010. D.In 2011.
小題2:What will happen to the fruit if they don’t help the homeowners pick it?
A.The fruit will rot or be eaten by small animals.
B.People who need the fruit will come to pick it.
C.The fruit will be used as a resource for research.
D.Homeowners will pick the fruit and sell it.
小題3: What does the underlined word “mean?
A.資源B.調(diào)查C.對策D.娛樂
小題4:How do the students feel about their work?
A.It’s interesting and easy.B.It’s meaningless and hard.
C.It’s meaningful and exciting.D.It’s tiring and boring.

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded
in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was
never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing
car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on
the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw
the curtains(窗簾) seem to move when there was no wind. A
very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times       
 
louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy(敵人) " would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes(過程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
小題1: The author had _________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.
A.one B.two C.three D.none
小題2: _________ would scare the author at night.
A.Streetlight and car lightsB.Wild animals and enemies
C.Moving curtains and wind D.Strange sights and sounds
小題3:When she went to some other places, she would _________.
A.walk away without others B.take a bus by herself
C.follow others closely D.make sure not to take a wrong bus
小題4:Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?
A.She was usually popular among people.
B.She was always the leader of the others.
C.She always’ got poor grades.
D.She was not at all liked by others.
小題5:The underlined word "overcome" means "_________" in Chinese.
A.接受B.忍受C.信服D.克服
