三、阅读理解

( A)

     If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others?

     Don’t listen to people who say the young people today often think only of themselves. It’s not true at all. More and more people in the USA volunteer to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don’t do it for money. Here are some of their stories.

Alice Hamilton, 17

    I’m going to help the Forest Centre build new hiking paths in the mountains. It’s going to be terrific—I’ll spend the whole summer living in the tent and breathing the clean mountain air. I’m going to sleep under the stars. It’ll be a nice sport, and I’ll be able to do something good at the same time.

Jason Moore,18

    This summer, I’m going to volunteer with Special House Program. They build good, low-cost houses and sell them to families that are not very rich. They’ll teach me what to do, so I’ll help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses.

Trish Anderson, 16

    I’m going to teach kids who have trouble reading. I’ll work for a program called Reading For Life. Every day, I’m going to help kids choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher and I love children and reading, so this is going to be a great experience for me.

(B) 

    Parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally (感情上). Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.  

    Another problem is that parents may expect their children’s interests to be similar to their own. If they love science, they may try to force (强迫) their child to love science too. But what if (要是……又怎样) their child’s true love is art, or writing, or car repair?

    Parents usually want to pass on their values(价值) to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking.

    The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. Books and newspapers and televisions also teach us. All of them are valuable.

(   )6. ________ might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience, according to the passage.

    A. A parent  

    B. A teacher  

    C. Either a teacher or a parent 

    D. Neither a teacher nor a parent

(   )7. Parents may hope that their children have the same ________ as their own, according to the passage.

    A. looks   

    B. interests   

    C. habits    

    D. jobs in the future

(   )8. The underlined phrase “pass on” in  means “________” .

    A. 路过   B. 继承   C. 传递    D. 领悟

(   )9. When children get older, they ________.

    A. don’t believe their parents any more 

    B. should always believe what their parents do

    C. believe that their parents are always right 

    D. begin to have their own ways of thinking

(   )10. What is the best title of the passage_______

    A. Never grow up!   

    B. Believe your parents forever.

    C. Are parents always the best teachers   

    D. How many teachers can we have in our lives

What can we do to protect The Pandas?

    The Pandas live only in China. However they are endangered animals. One of reasons is people are cutting down many trees to build their houses. And the bamboo is becoming less and less. another reason is people have hunted a lot of pandas for their fur. I think we should do something to protect The Pandas.  for example.we should we should set up Nature Reserve.  We should not buy fur clothes.  If we can do these ,I think The pandas will be more and more.
