“As sure as you’re alive now, Peter Rabbit, some day I will catch you,” shouted Reddy Fox, as he put his black nose in the hole between the roots of the Big Hickory-tree which grows close to the Smiling Pool. “It is lucky for you that you were not one jump farther away from this hole.”
Peter, safe inside that hole, didn’t have a word to say, or, if he did, he didn’t have breath enough to say it. It was quite true that if he had been one jump farther from that hole, Reddy Fox would have caught him. As it was, the hairs on Peter’s funny white tail actually had tickled Reddy’s back as Peter ran wildly through the root-bound entrance to that hole. It had been the narrowest escape Peter had had for a long, long time. You see, Reddy Fox had surprised Peter eating sweet clover（苜蓿）on the bank of the Smiling Pond, and it had been a lucky thing for Peter that hole, dug long ago by Johnny Chuck’s grandfather, had been right where it was. Also, it was a lucky thing that old Mr. Chuck had been wise enough to make the entrance between the roots of that tree in such a way that it could not be dug any larger.
Reddy Fox was too shrewd（機(jī)靈的）to waste any time trying to dig it larger. He knew there wasn’t room enough for him to get between those roots. So, after trying to make Peter as uncomfortable as possible by telling him what he, Reddy, would do to him when he did catch him, Reddy walked across the Green Meadows. Peter remained where he was for a long time. When he was quite sure that it was safe to do so, he crawled out and hurried to the Old Orchard. He felt that that would be the safest place for him, because there were ever so many hiding places in the old stone wall along the edge of it.
【小題1】 Where is Peter Rabbit hiding?
| A．On the bank of a pond | B．In a hole |
| C．In a tall tree | D．Behind a room |
| A．Reddy Fox might find rabbit hairs on him. |
| B．Old Mr. Chuck took advantage of the roots to dig the hole. |
| C．The hole could be made larger. |
| D．Reddy almost caught Peter this time. |
| A．Because Reddy was trying to get him. |
| B．Because it was cold outside. |
| C．Because his grandfather would help him dig a large hole. |
| D．Because the Old Orchard was not so safe as this hole. |

That woman’s husband crossed rivers 34 from one crocodile’s back to the next.I believe it.It had to be done 35 before the creature could see what was happening.It wasn’t 36 a brave,active man;and no doubt he improved with practice.He could never look 37 while crossing.
The wife used to watch him—I felt 38 of that.She lived 39 the adventure the 40 excitement of it all.Their real life was with tigers,snakes....It’s no wonder she wrote 41 poetry.
Then he 42 .I imagined how she felt.Was there another man 43 him in India,in the world?She was still young,hardly a sitting-room widow(寡婦).“I must 44 ,too,”she said to herself.So she did what she felt she had to do.A 45 probably,to her head.

Most of us are used to seasons. Each year, spring follows winter, which follows autumn, which follows summer, which follows spring. And winter is colder than summer. But the earth goes through temperature cycles over much longer periods than those that we experience. Between 65,000 and 35,000 years, the planet was much colder than it is now .During that time the temperature also changed a lot, with periods of warming and cooling. Ice melted during the warm periods, which made sea levels rise. Water froze again during the cold periods.
A new study from Switzerland throws light on where ice sheets（冰川）inched during the ice age. It now seems that the ice melted at both ends of the earth, rather than just in either northern or southern regions.
This surprised the researchers from the University of Bern. Scientists have long assumed（假設(shè)）that most of the ice that melted was in the Northern hemisphere（半球）during the 30,000-year long ice age. That belief was held because the North Pole is surrounded by land, while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean. It is easier for ice sheets to grow on land .If surrendered by sea the ice can easily just slip into the ocean instead of building up.
The researchers used a computer model to look at ways the ice could melt and how it might affect sea levels. They compared these results to evidence of how temperatures and currents actually changed during that time. The model showed that if it was only in the Northern hemisphere that ice melted, there would have been a bigger impact（影響）on ocean currents （洋流）and sea temperatures than what actually happened. Studies suggest that melting just in the Southern hemisphere would have been impossible, too. The only reasonable conclusion, the scientists could make, was that ice melted equally in the North and the South.
It is still a mystery as to what caused the temperature changes that caused the ice to melt.
The North Pole is surrounded by land ,while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean. So scientists thought that .
A．most of the ice melted in the Northern hemisphere
B．most of the ice melted in the Southern hemisphere
C．The North Pole is colder than South Pole
D．The South Pole is colder than North Pole
We can learn from the passage .
A．the ice can easily just slip into the ocean
B．volcanoes caused the ice to melt
C．melting just in the Northern hemisphere would have been impossible
D．researchers often use the computer models to help their research work
The scientists are not sure .
A．how long the ice age lasted
B．where ice sheets melted during the ice age .
C．what caused the temperature changes
D．what the earth is made up of
Which of the following is NOT right ?
A．The researchers want to know how the melting of ice might affect sea levels by the
computer model.
B．Studies show ice melted equally in the North and the South during the ice age.
C．Most of the ice melted in the Northern hemisphere（半球）during the 30,000-year long
Ice age.
D．The temperature changes caused the ice to melt.

One night last summer, my neighbor Debbie came over and knocked on my door. “I’m leaving for 21, Jim,” she said. “Would you mind dropping by my house in a bit and 22 on my mother?”

Like me, Nan was 28 ―and was also hard of hearing. That evening Nan and I chatted for a bit 29.
“If you’re okay,” I said, “I think I’ll turn in.” Before I 30, I made sure the baby monitor was working.
“Good night, Nan,” I said. I 31 my stick and headed out the door. “See you tomorrow,” Nan called behind me. I locked the door and 32 my way home.
Several minutes 33 I heard a sound. It was Nan on the 34 . “Jim! Jim!” I heard over the monitor. “The house is 35 ! Help! ”
I went as 36 as I could to Debbie’s. I got to the front door. I could 37 a heavy, thick smoke. I put my hand on the doorknob(門把手), and reached for my key and 38 the door. “Here, Jim. Help!” Her voice was weak.
“Let’s get out of here!” I shouted. Grabbing her hand, I started to move on. I tapped with my cane 39 we found the front door. We felt our way down the steps, 40 in the sweet, fresh summer air, and to the gate of her yard. Thank you, Lord. We’re all safe.

Many of us already know about several American superstitions(迷信). Having a black cat cross your path, walking under a ladder, and breaking a mirror are all bad luck. In addition to these, there are many other superstitions that are worth knowing. Understanding them will keep you safe from evil spirits—if you believe in such things—and impress your American friends when you mention them.
Like the superstitions in other cultures, American superstitions often involve the things important in daily life, such as health, numbers, and marriage. For example, have you ever had a cough that would not go away? According to one American superstition, you should take a piece of your hair and put it between two slices of buttered bread. Next, feed this hair sandwich to a dog and say, “Eat well, you hound, may you be sick and I be sound.”This will trick the evil spirits and help your cough. It will also raise some eyebrows if you try it.
In American superstitions, the number three is very important. Often, Americans will say, “All things come in threes.” Three is lucky because it represents the traditional family: mother, father, and child. Therefore, gifts, letters, and guests will often arrive at your home in groups of three. However, it is also possible for bad events, like accidents and funerals, to come in threes as well.
Another time people pay attention to superstitions is when they get married. During a wedding, brides must wear or carry“something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.”The old and borrowed things will bring luck to the person who gives them to the bride. The new and blue things will bring good fortune to the bride herself. The next time someone you know is getting married, be sure to recite this phrase.
As it would be unlucky to discuss one more superstition, we will wind things up here. Keep your fingers crossed, and stay lucky!
1.The passage is most probably entitled(命名)“ ”.
|
A．American’s Bad Luck |
B．Cross-culture and Superstitions |

2.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph“It will also raise some eyebrows if you try it”means: .
|
A．When you try it, the dog will raise its eyebrows |
|
B．You will make some people surprised when you try this trick |
|
C．Only if you raise your eyebrows can the trick work |
|
D．You will believe in the trick after you try it |
3.In American’s view, the number three is a(n) number.

A．lucky |
B．unlucky |
C．special |
D．ordinary |
