Last summer, Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to building in Chicago. Maria really liked some things about the city, but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.

One day, Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor, Mrs. Garcia, carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil. Maria wondered how Mrs. Garcia was able to garden in the city.

“My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don't have a yard,” said Maria.

   Mrs. Garcia laughed. “I’ll show you,” she said.  

Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia would take her to the park, but she took her to the roof (屋顸). When the door opened, Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.

“What a wonderful garden! “ said Maria.

Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.

“I plant flowers in my own place,” Mrs. Garcia said, but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up here. Some people grow vegetables just like your mom. You can do some of the same things in the city as in the countryside. You just have to be creative ! "

28. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the community garden?

A. It used the empty space well.B. It helped keep the air clean

C. It helped keep the building cooler. D. It made the building stronger

29. After Maria visited the garden, she would most probably ask her mom to_______.

A. go back to the countrysideB. pick flowers from the garden

C. grow vegetables on the roof   D. show her around the park

A. A Creative Lady B. A Rooftop Garden

C. An Empty Roof   D. A Special Building

C

Do you have brown hair? Are you taller than other kids your age? These characteristics

were decided before you were born. You got your traits from your parents. They passed their

traits on to you through genes (基因).

Genes carry codes (代码) for blue eyes or brown eyes. Genes say how tall you will get

and what color hair you will have. You got half of your genes from your mother. You got half

of your genes from your father. So you have your own set of genes. Each person gets different genes for each body part. That is why you look like but not exactly like your brother or sister.

A dominant (显性的)  gene shows up most of the time. Brown eyes are dominant over

bluc eyes. A recessive (降性的)  gene shows up less often. Light hair comes from a recessive

gene. Dark hair is more common. Look at the eye color and hair color of the people around

you. You will see that this is true.

Genes help to make you who you are. But they don't tell the whole story. Your genes

may help you to be fast and strong. But you still need to learn how to run or swim or skate

wel.

31. The underlined word “traits” in Paragraph 1 means________.

   A. charactcristicsB. expericncesC. achievements  D. possibilities

32. According to Paragraph 3, you can see most of the people around you have______.

A. brown eyes with dark hair B. brown eyes with light hair

C. blue eyes with dark hair   D. blue eyes with light hair

33. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Genes carry codes for eyes and hair.   B. Genes help to make you who you are.

C. Genes help you to be fast and strong.  D. Genes make brothers look similar.

Lizzie-s diary from Antarctica (南极洲)

Day 3: Tuesday   December 2

We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We’d be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth, sometimes you can’t fly at all.

We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we’d be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather

It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air, there was still a chance we wouldn’t be able to fly the whole day.

[来源:学科网]

Day 4: Wednesday   December 3

After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why

everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.

   We’re staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It s about minus 20C today, which for me is very cold, but the regulars(常客) here are often seen walking around in T-shirts !

Day 5: Thursday  December 4

I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic. I’m told it’s a bit colder

today, about minus 50C , but it’s not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are

new to the bas have to do a spccial training course before we're allowed to go off base to

other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.

Day 7: Saturday  December 6

Not a cloud in the sky and it’s warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket).

The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery (凤景) changes every day.

At first I thought I was going mad. I’d step outside in the morning and think, “I’m sure that big mountain of ice wasn’t there yesterday.” It’s because the sea ice is always moving—slowly thankfully !

34. Lizzie sat outside wearing a jacket on_______.

   A. Tuesday B. WednesdayC. ThursdayD. Saturday

35. What could stop Lizzie from leaving Stanley for Rothera?

A. Strong winds. B. Thick clouds.C. Mountains of ice.   D. Low temperatures.

36. How did Lizzie feel during her stay in the Antarctic?

   A. Afraid.  B. Nervous.  C. Amazed.D. Bored.

37. What impressed Lizzie most about Rothera was that _______.

A. people walked around in T-shirts B. there was a special training course

C. the weather was sometimes warmD. the scenery changed every day

Book Review by Patricia Ann Turner

It is school holiday time and Mitch Morrow’s family have just moved to a new home

In a new place. Mitch can’t stop worrying about what his new school is going to be like.  He

is not even sure about the neighbours. Next door live the Bull family and they have two

children, Di and Bruce.  

The older of the two,  Bruce,  is a large boy,  about Mitch’s age. Mitch. Watches him carry big rocks. He looks really strong and unkind. Mitch gives him the name Bruiser（彪形大汉）

because he has a black eye. Did he get it in a fight? Mitch imagines all the worst possible things about Bruiser. He is probably the class bully (恶霸). In his mind Mitch thinks of him as the enemy.

Things seem to get more worring for Mitch. He finds out he will be in the same class as Bruiser. Then on the first day of school he learns that Bruiser is his buddy for the day.

  This is a lovely story for young readers to read or listen to. It has a wonderful message for all children about facing their fears —real and imagined.

The pictures in the book catch the worry Mitch feels and make Bruiser rcally look like a bad guy.

  My only complaint is the colour of the printing of the text. Why there are pages of different coloured print I cannot tell. They may create problems for children with poor eyesight.

I give it four stars.

53. Who is the book Watch out for Bruiser for?

54. What does Mitch imagine Bruce to be?

55. After reading the book review, do you think the book is worth reading? Why or why not?

One possible version:

Dear David,

  Thank you so much for your email. I’m very happy to tell you about my school life.

  I like the Football Club best because I’ve made quite a few friends by joining the club.

Moreover, it’s an excellent chance to learn team spirit.

However, I’ve also met some problems over the three years. The biggest one is how to

achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies. Whenever I am in great need, my

English teacher always comes to me, so she is the person who has helped me most in the junior high.

In all,  I enjoy my school life because it’s colourful and meaningful.

  How about your school life? Write to me soon.

Best wishes,
