Peter didn’t know why he didn’t have many friends. The reason was he was always taking, never giving.
One day Peter told Bill, “I’d like to give a party on Saturday, I’d like you to come and bring Martha, too.” “Thanks, Peter. We’d be happy to come.” “Perhaps you’d like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I’m sure everyone will want you to sing for us.” That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. “You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery.” Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn’t forget to ask something from each one of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed. The party was a big success.
However, as the guests(客人) were leaving, they said “Thank you ” to Bill and Martha
for the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work. To Peter they just said, “ Thanks for the invitation.”
小題1:The party was held ________ .

試題分析：本文介紹了自私的皮特要舉辦一個(gè)聚會(huì)，他讓Bill拿小提琴，讓Martha唱歌，讓Betty帶蛋糕，讓Jim and Mary提供房子，就這樣，舉辦了一場(chǎng)成功的晚會(huì)。但是最后大家離開時(shí)，感謝Bill和Martha的音樂、Betty的蛋糕、Jackson家的房子，只是感謝Peter的邀請(qǐng)。
小題1:推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第二段描述He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.，可知他的聚會(huì)是在朋友Jim 和Mary的家里舉辦的，故選C。
小題2:推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第二段描述Perhaps you’d like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. 可知是Bill和Martha唱歌好，而不是Mary Jackson,故選B。
小題3:推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第一段描述Peter didn’t know why he didn’t have many friends. The reason was he was always taking, never giving.可知皮特只索取，不付出，沒有幾個(gè)人喜歡他，故選B。
小題4:推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第三段描述To Peter they just said, “ Thanks for the invitation.”，可知皮特只是邀請(qǐng)了朋友，沒做其他事，故選C。

“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments(評(píng)價(jià)) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended(假裝) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”

I used to have little passion（激情，熱情）in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind. It was then that I learned how        it is to have a passion in life.
That day I went home in Mom’s car. When Mom        at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed        rags. He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen         like him before. Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless.
But this man was        in some way. He was not sitting down with a        expression. Instead, he had a         in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing he had.
“Mom, why does that man have a radio        he’s homeless?” I asked.
“He       it, “ she replied.
“But why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He       something that he didn’t need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”
That man must care so much about        that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that        is the key to life.
Since then I am always thinking of        is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes – these things are        part of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light on a         day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.

Look at the plant in the picture. It looks beautiful, right? Can you imagine (想象) it kills?

The Venus flytrap is a kindof meat-eating plant. It grows in very few places, like wetlands near the sea in North Carolina in America.
The Venus flytrap is not a large plant. It grows to be only about a foot tall. The plant has white flowers in the spring, but it is the plant’s leaves that make it so interesting. The ends of the leaves have folding parts with stiff, tiny hairs (帶小硬刺的可折疊部分). These are the plant’s “traps (捕捉器)”.
What does the Venus flytrap eat? As you might guess, the Venus flytrap eats flies (蒼蠅). It also eats spiders, ants and crickets (蟋蟀). The Venus flytrap makes most of its food with sun, air and water, just like other plants. Living things just give it extra nutrition (額外營(yíng)養(yǎng)) to grow well in wetlands.
How does this plant trap and eat living things? The Venus flytrap uses a sweet liquid (液體) to attract its food. When a fly lands on one of the plant’s open traps, hairs on the surface make the trap close. And when the trap closes, the fly is dinner!
If you want to have your own Venus flytrap at home, you have to buy the plant from a special place. You can’t take a Venus flytrap from where it grows! There are laws about taking it out of the wild.
小題1:Where does the Venus flytrap grow?
A．In the wetlands.B．In the desert. C．In the rocks.D．In the sea.
小題2:About the Venus flytrap, which of the following is true?
A．It is a large plant.
B．It only eats spiders.
C．It has white flowers.
D．It can fly in the sky.
小題3:Which is the right order of the following events in Paragraph 5?
a. The trap of the Venus flytrap closes.
b. A fly lands on one of the plant’s open traps.
c. The fly is kept in the trap as the food of the plant.
d. The Venus flytrap uses a sweet liquid to attract its food.
A．d-b-a-cB．a(chǎn)-b-c-d
C．b-d-a-cD．d-b-c-a
小題4:How can people get a Venus flytrap?
A．They can get it from where it grows.
B．They can buy it from a special place.
C．They can grow it in their gardens.
D．They can buy it in a park.
小題5:Why does the Venus flytrap kill?
A．Because it needs extra nutrition.
B．Because it hates flies.
C．Because insects are its main food.
D．Because it kills for fun.

Jay, an American, wanted to write a book about famous churches (教堂)around the world. Firstly, Jay bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Columbus, Ohio, USA, thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from East to West. 
On his first day he was inside a church taking photos when he noticed a golden telephone on the wall with a sign that read "$10,000 per call".
Jay was intrigued so he asked a priest (牧師) what the telephone was used for.
The priest told him that it was a direct (直接的) line to heaven（天堂） and that for $10,000 you could talk to God. Jay thanked the priest and went along his way.
Next stop was in Des Moines, and there at a very large church, he saw the same looking golden telephone with the same sign under it. A nearby nun（修女）told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.
Jay decided to travel to Australia to see if they had a similar phone. He arrived at Western Australia, and again, in the church he entered, there was the same looking golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read "40 cents per call."
Somewhat surprised, Jay asked the priest about the sign. 'Father Brian, I travelled all over the world and I saw this same golden telephone in many churches. I know it is a direct line to Heaven, but in all of them price was $10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?'
Father（神父）Brian smiled and answered, 'My son, you're in Australia now - this is Heaven, so it's only a local call.'
小題1:How many churches did Jay go to in the passage?
A．ThreeB．FourC．FiveD．Six
小題2:The underlined word ‘intrigued’ in Paragraph 3 may mean ‘       ’.
A．恐懼的B．欣喜的C．猶豫的D．好奇的
小題3:Which is TURE according to the passage?
A．Jay was a singer.
B．In all of churches, the price was $10,000 per call
C．All the telephones look the same.
D．Jay travelled in America by car.
小題4:We can infer (推斷) from the Father Brian’s words in the last Paragraph?
A．Jay was from Australia.
B．Jay would spend less money in Australia because everything was cheaper there.
C．Australia is as beautiful as Heaven.
D．Father Brian found his real son at last.
