I heard the bees long before I saw them.
It was a very hot afternoon, and we decided to cool off in the river near my home. As we climbed down a small rocky hill toward the water, my boyfriend John suddenly started to shout then jumped into the water below. Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump. I was trapped.
I heard a low hum(嗡嗡聲)，which was growing louder. From a distance, the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke. As it got closer, I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.
All I could do was cover my face with hands. Crazily, I thought that if I sat very still, the bees would think I was just another rock.
After a few minutes, I knew my plan hadn’t worked. The bees were attacking me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down to the pool fast.
But it wasn’t so easy. I was in great pain and the only way I could get away was to use my hands to climb down the rocks. However, I was afraid to do that at first because my face would be unprotected. The noise the bees made was so loud and frightening, but I had no choice.
I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool, but I don’t remember doing it. I was just so happy to be free from the pain. I was safe, and the water felt wonderful.
But we still weren’t out of danger. Every time we tried to climb out of the pool, the bees flew back over our heads. We spent the next three hours in the water, putting our heads under the water from time to time to avoid the bees until they finally lost interest.
小題1: How many people went swimming that day?
A．Two.B．ThreeC．FourD．Five
小題2:The underlined word “it” (in Paragraph 3) refers to        .
A．a(chǎn) rockB．the group of beesC．a(chǎn) hillD．the river

小題4: How did the writer escape the bees?

c. The low hum grew louder.
d. The bees flew back over their heads.

小題1:C
小題1:B
小題1:B
小題1:C
小題1:A

小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段我們可以知道the writer，John, Peter和Mary四個(gè)人去游泳。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)推理題。第三段第二，三句話是說“從遠(yuǎn)處看，這群蜜蜂就像是一團(tuán)濃煙。當(dāng)它們?cè)絹碓浇鼤r(shí)，我意識(shí)到，事實(shí)上這是成千上萬(wàn)的蜜蜂飛向我”。根據(jù)第二三句，我們就可輕易地得知it 是指the group of bees.故選B。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)推理題。從第二段最后一句可得知，作者一開始并沒有跳入水里是因?yàn)樽髡遲oo far away to jump，故選B.
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第四段，我們可知道，作者試圖用手遮住臉，并認(rèn)為只要一動(dòng)不動(dòng)，蜜蜂就以為是一塊巖石了，但是第五段說…I knew my plan hadn’t worked. 因此作者并沒有擺脫蜜蜂，故排除A和D。B文章沒有提及。
小題1:歸納推理題。文章先是交代了Tom 跳入水中，接著作者聽到蜜蜂的嗡嗡聲，隨后蜜蜂襲擊了作者，作者也跳入水中，但是蜜蜂仍在他們的頭頂上徘徊。根據(jù)這條主線，我們就可以歸納出故事發(fā)生的先后順序。故選A

I just moved and I’m kind of shy, so how do I make new friends?
—Jessica, 11, Canada
Dr. Molly’s Answer ①
You should tell him about your dream and that if you work really hard, it might happen even though you started late. The sooner you tell your dad how you feel, the sooner you’ll be able to work on making your dream come true.
Dr. Molly’s Answer ②
Nobody knows you at your new school. You have nothing to lose, so gather up all your courage and go over to someone who looks friendly and introduce yourself. You can ask that person about your teacher or the other kids in your class to break the ice. Good luck!
Dr. Molly’s Answer ③
It’s better to tell your mom the truth than for her to find out another way. When you tell her, explain why you failed the test. Ask her if she can help you study in the future, so you’ll do better on your tests and also have time for the soccer you love.
Dr. Molly’s Answer ④

In 1993 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(動(dòng)畫片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said”Stop! That’s our duck!”
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(貪婪的), and because he lost his temper (發(fā)脾氣) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.
In the 1930S, ‘ 40s and ‘ 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.
小題1:Who made Donald Duck film? ______
A．Mickey Mouse.B．Clarence Nash.
C．Walt Disney.D．Pluto.
小題2: When was the first Donald Duck film made? ______
A．In 1933.B．In 1934.C．In 1966.D．In 1930.
小題3:Who was Clarence Nash? ______
A．A cartoonist.B．Donald Duck’s voice.
C．A film-maker.D．A film star.

A．In new film.B．At the cinema.
C．On television.D．At concerts.
