Some years went by. Then Father Boone called the family together. “Pack your things,” he told them. “We are leaving here. Our farmland isn't good to live on. We can buy rich, cheap land in he southwest.”
Sixteen-year-old Daniel was happy. “I'm glad we are going,” he said. “I feel crowded here. There are too many houses and too many people.” Father Boone made ready for the journey. He pushed out the big wagon (馬車) and tied two horses to it. Mother Boone packed clothes, dishes, pots and pans. She would make food for the family along the way. The family said goodbye to the neighbors and to their old home, and started.
Mother, the girls, and the little children rode in the wagon. Father and the boys took turns riding the horses. Sometimes all of the Boones walked so that the horses could rest.
Father and the boys had guns to kill birds and small animals for food along the way. The
Boones traveled across Pennsylvania. At last the family came to the green Yadkin Valley in North
Carolina. There were a few houses there already, but the farmland was much broader than that in
Pennsylvania.

小題5:C

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是Boone一家，他們家原來的農(nóng)田不好了，所以要搬到新的地方去。他們一家人收拾好行李，開始了行程。最后終于到了新的家，那里早已有了一些房子，而且那里的農(nóng)田比原來的要更好，他們決定生活在那里。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的第一段中“Pack your things,” he told them. “We are leaving here. Our farmland isn't good to live on. We can buy rich, cheap land in the southwest.可知，Boone把家人召集起來說：收拾行李，我們要離開這里，我們的農(nóng)田不好了，我們可以在西南部買到更肥沃、便宜的土地。根據(jù)這里我們知道選B。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。在短文的第三段中講道，母親、女孩們還有孩子都坐馬車，父親和男孩們輪流騎馬，有時候他們家人都走路，這樣可以讓馬休息一下。由此可知，這一段作者主要告訴我們Boone一家人是怎樣搬家走的。故應(yīng)該選D。
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中的最后一句話Sometimes all of the Boones walked so that the horses could rest.可知，在搬家的路上，有時候Boone一家人都會走路，這樣可以讓馬休息一下。故選C。
小題4:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)這個劃線的詞所在的句子There were a few houses there already, but the farmland was much broader than that in Pennsylvania.可知，Boone一家到達了green Yadkin Valley in North Carolina，那里已經(jīng)有了一些房子，但那里的農(nóng)田要比原來的更寬。broad寬廣的，它的同義詞是wide。故選A。
小題5:推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文的中At last the family came to the green Yadkin Valley in North Carolina可知A選項的表述是正確的；根據(jù)短文最后一段中This is good farmland.可知，Boone一家人的新家的農(nóng)田是好的，故B的表述也是正確的；根據(jù)There were a few houses there already可知D選項的表述也是正確的。而根據(jù)短文第三段的描述以及最后一段中The Boones traveled across Pennsylvania.可知，Boone的新家離他們原來的家是很遠的。故C不對。

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of work, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品雜貨），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our city offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger(陌生人) would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it made our confidence in humanity（人性）stronger as a whole. And it has also influenced us to be more mindful(在意的) of ways we can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be continuing for ever.
小題1:Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A．They used it for work and daily life.
B．It was borrowed from their friend.
C．It was a nice Kona18 speed.
D．The man's job was bike racing.
小題2:We can learn from the text that ________.
A．the couple worked60 hours a week.B．people were busy before Christmas
C．the stranger brought only the bike.D．life was hard for the young family.
小題3:How did people get to know the couple's problem?
A．From radio broadcasts. B．From a newspaper.
C．From TV news. D．From a stranger.
小題4:What do the couple learn from their experience?
A．Strangers are usually of little help.
B．One should take care of their bike.
C．News reports make people famous.
D．An act of kindness can mean a lot.

Time went by — the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I’m no longer a kid. I wouldn’t play around the tree any more.” the boy replied. “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them.

There was only one other person on the train with her. He was a well-dressed man reading a newspaper. Suddenly, about halfway through the journey, the man began tearing（撕） his newspaper into hundreds of small pieces. Then he picked them up, opened the window and threw them all out.

Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with various situations.
Love plays a main role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we don’t always care about it. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others’ feelings.
Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things will pass away.
Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, pride and self-respect.
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dark. So the only choice is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
小題1:We usually have to accept _______ if we want to be successful.
