Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea.

“Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck.

“It’s hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted(闹鬼的) houses.”

“Who hides it?”

“Robbers(劫匪). You can find a box with a hundred dollars in it, or a chest full of diamonds(钻石).”

So, on Saturday afternoon the boys went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place. And the boys looked at each other in fear. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs(蜘蛛网) everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.

“What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fear.

“Keep still! There’s someone downstairs!”

The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard(西班牙人) in a wide hat. The other was dirty and unpleasant-looking. The boys shook with fear.

Then the Spaniard spoke. It was Indian Joe. Tom and Huck felt even more frightened.

The men sat down on the floor and ate. They then lay down and fell asleep. When the two men woke up, the stranger said, “It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery?”

“Let’s keep $30 each and leave the rest here.”

The dirty man went to the fireplace(壁炉) and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins.

The two boys forgot all their fears. There was real treasure downstairs.

Growing up, I thought math class was something to be endured, not enjoyed. I disliked memorizing formulas (公式) and taking tests, all for the dull goal of getting a good grade. One of my teachers told my mother that I was “slow”. But my problem wasn’t with math itself. In fact, when a topic seemed particularly interesting, I would go to the library and read more about it.

By high school, no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician. What I wanted to do then was to play college football. My goal was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school.

The chances of that happening were very low. But that didn’t stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal, and preparing and pushing me to work for it. They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country. In the end, a Big Ten school, Penn State, did offer me a scholarship.

I wish math teachers were more like football coaches. Students are influenced by more than just the quality of a lesson plan. They also react to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers and they try to achieve a sense of purpose. They get advantages from detailed and exact instructions and constant feedback (反馈).

Until I got to college, I didn’t really know what mathematics was. I still thought of it as laborious (耗时费力的) calculations. Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I should think about a particular problem. It wasn’t easy, but it was attractive. My professor kept giving me problems, and I kept chasing them, even though I couldn’t always solve them immediately. The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms. Instead, it was closer to the math and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy. It gave me the same sense of wonder and curiosity, and it rewarded creativity. I am now a Ph.D candidate (候选人) in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

6．Why did the writer think math class in school was “something to be endured” before entering college?

A．Because he wasn’t interested in math.

B．Because his math teachers didn’t care to push him.

C．Because he was too smart and talented for math class.

D．Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship.

7．We can conclude that after entering college, the writer ________.

A．was busy looking for math problems to solve

B．studied on his own just as he was in high school

C．met with laborious calculations in his studies

D．began to realize what mathematics really is

8．What is the best title for the text?

A．Interest is the best teacher

B．Be the best — you can make it

C．Math, taught like football

D．Once your teacher, always your teacher

When my son finally started school around the age of four, I felt as though I’d been promoted (晋级) to the new position of School Parent. It was an unexpectedly challenging role, one without additional benefits, or a raise for that matter.

As a direct result of starting school, there was the surprisingly unpleasant changes to our schedule (time-table). As parents, we were ill-prepared for the troubled time we had trying to get used to the practice of school.

Gone were the carefree days without plans and plenty of time to kill. This included playing imaginary games indoors or hanging around outside whenever the weather turned nice. Getting to school on time meant becoming the ‘hot mess’ mum who were often seen in movies. I was rushing kids out the door, forgetting lunch boxes and losing car keys.

As a huge morning person, I tried my best to ensure that school mornings remained calm and slow-paced. I prepared as much as possible the night before. But it still felt like we were in a rush, which I really hated.

The trick. I later discovered, was to cover up my feeling of anxiety. I chanted to myself “Do not rush him, no one likes to be rushed” while helping him get through his morning routine and tasks in a timely manner. Whatever frustration (沮丧) I fell about how slow he was moving, I wouldn’t let him know it. I even didn’t allow anyone in our house to say phrases like, “Hurry up, we’re going to be late!” Our common goal, was not just to get our son out the door in time for school, but more importantly prove that mornings can be relaxed and enjoyable, rather than a horrible start to the day.

Of course by the time summer holiday came, our family had grown wise enough. In what felt like the ‘longest shortest time’, we went from anxious and confused, to calm and confident once again. We were far more prepared to have a smoother start to the new school year.

10．Which word is similar in meaning to the underlined words “hot mess” in paragraph 3?

One day, Frank was walking with his mother outside. When they came to a pretty garden, he called to his mother and said, “Mother, I wish I could open the gate and walk in.”

The gardener, being near, heard what Frank said, and kindly invited him and his mother to come into the garden.

Frank’s mother thanked the man. Turning to her son, she said, “Frank, if I take you to walk in this garden, you must take care not to meddle with (乱动) anything in it.”

Frank walked along the paths and looked at everything, but touched nothing. He was careful that his clothes should not brush the tops of the flowers in case he might break them.

While Frank was admiring the beauty of a flower, a boy came to the gate. Finding it locked, he shook it hard. But it would not open. Then he said, “Let me in. Let me in. Will you not let me in this garden?”

“No,” said the gardener. “I will not let you in, for when I let you in yesterday, you meddled with my flowers, and even picked some fruit. I do not let boys into my garden who meddle with the plants.”

That night the wind and the rain woke Mary up.

“Horrid(非常讨厌的) rain!” she said. “It came because it knew I didn’t want it.”

Then she heard another noise. It was the strange crying sound. She got out of bed, picked up the candle and went out into the long, dark corridor(走廊) outside her room. As she followed it, the sound became louder and louder. Finally, she arrived at a door. She opened it quietly and went in.The room was large and full of beautiful old furniture.There was a fire in the fireplace and a candle next to a big bed. In it she could see a boy and he was crying. He had a white face, long dark hair and big grey eyes. He looked ill but he wasn’t crying because he was in pain.

Mary went towards the bed. The boy turned his head and stared (注视) at her.

“Who are you?” he whispered. “Are you a ghost?”

“No,” Mary answered. “Are you a ghost?”

He stared at her with his big eyes.

“No,” he replied. “I am Colin. Colin Craven. Who are you?”

“I am Mary Lennox. Mr Craven is my uncle.”

“He’s my father,” said the boy.

“Your father! I didn’t know that he had a son!” shouted Mary. “Why were you crying?”

“I was sad and my head hurt.”

“Did the servants (仆人) tell you about me?” asked Mary.

“No, because they know that I don’t want to see people.”

“Why not?”

“People talk about me because I’m always ill. I don’t like it. My father doesn’t like it either. But I’m going to die. If I live, I’m probably going to be a hunchback(驼背的人) like him.”

“Does your father come and see you?”

“He doesn’t want to see me.”

“Why not?” Mary asked again.

“My mother died when I was born. He feels sad when he looks at me. I think he almost hates me.”

“He hates the garden because she died,” said Mary, half speaking to herself.

“What garden?” the boy asked.

“Oh, just a garden she liked,” Mary said.

Then she said quickly, “Do you always stay in bed?”

“Yes. But a doctor from London said I must go out in the fresh air. I hate fresh air.”

“Oh,” said Mary.

Mary learned a lot about Colin. Mary began to understand that Colin was spoilt. His father gave him everything he asked for. And Colin never had to do anything if he didn’t want to do it.      

“Everyone has to do what I want,” Colin said. “I get ill if I’m angry.”

 “Quickly, Dorothy,” she shouted. “Go to the cellar (地窖).”

Aunt Em ran to the door of the cellar and opened it. Dorothy picked up Toto and ran to the cellar door. Before she could climb down the ladder into the cellar, a great cyclone (龙卷风) picked up the house. It turned it round and round and round and then carried it high into the sky.

It was not very dark. Dorothy felt as if she were riding through the sky. She held on to Toto and climbed under her bed, where she stayed for several hours. Then, although the house was still moving, she fell asleep.

When she woke up, she did not know how much later, the house was on the ground. It was in a field full of flowers, and there were hundreds of beautifully colored birds flying about and singing. Not far away, there was a stream with clear, fresh water.

Dorothy was still under her bed. She got up and left the house. She was surprised to see three little men and a little woman walking toward her. They were very strangely dressed. The men’s clothes were white and had little stars all over them.

When they saw Dorothy, they walked up to her and bowed (鞠躬).

“Welcome to the land of the Munchkins,” one of the little men said. “We thank you for killing the Wicked Witch of the East. Now our people are free.”

“I’m afraid you are making a mistake,” Dorothy said. “I didn’t kill any witch.”

“Your house did,” one of the little men said. “Look!”

He pointed to the house. Dorothy saw two feet sticking out from under it.

“Oh!” Dorothy shouted. “The house fell on her. What can I do?”

“There is nothing to do,” the little woman said. “The Wicked Witch of the East is dead, and the

Munchkins are thankful to you.”

“Are you a Munchkin?” Dorothy asked.

“No, but I am their friend,” the little woman said. “I am the Witch of the North.?”

Characters: Peter; Wendy, Slightly, Nibs, the twins

When everyone was ready, Peter knocked on the door gently.The door opened slowly, and a lady came out. It was Wendy. The boys all took off their hats “Where am I?” Wendy asked.

Of course, Slightly was the first to get a word in.

“Wendy lady,’’ he said quickly, “we built this house for you.’’

“Oh, please say you like it!” cried Nibs.

“What a lovely, lovely house,” Wendy said. The boys were delighted. “We are your children.” said the twins.

They all lowered their knees and held out their arms.

“Oh, Wendy lady, please be our mother!” they cried in union.

“I would love to,” said Wendy, “but you see I am only a little girl. I have no experience of being a mother.”

“_______” said Peter. “We just need a nice motherly person.”

“Oh, really?” Wendy said. “I think that is exactly what I am.’’

“It is. It is!” they all cried.

“Very well,” she said, “I will do my best. Come inside now you naughty children. I think there’s just enough time for me to finish the story of Cinderella before I put you to bed.”

They went in, and that was the first of the many joyful evenings they had with Wendy. By and by she made them comfortable in the big bed in their home under the trees. But she herself slept that night in the little house. Peter kept watching outside with a sword(剑), because the pirates(海盗) could be heard drinking far away, and the wolves were going about for food.

Knowing that Mrs. Mallard suffered from a heart trouble, great care was taken to tell her as gently as possible the news of her husband’s death.

It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences. Her husband’s friend Richards was there, too. He had been in the newspaper office when news of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard’s name leading the list of “killed”. He had only taken the time to make sure of its truth by a second telegram, and hurried to send the sad message.

She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same. She wept at once, with wild abandonment (抛弃), in her sister’s arms. When the storm of sadness had spent itself she went away to her room alone.

There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable armchair. Into this she sank, tired from a physical exhaustion that held her body and seemed to reach into her soul.

She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver (颤抖的, 兴奋的) with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached her, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves (屋檐).

There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? It was too hard to name. But she felt it, coming out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the smells, the color that filled the air.

Now her chest rose and fell violently. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was trying very hard to beat it back with her will. When she gave up trying, a little whispered word escaped her lips. She said it over and over under the breath: “free, free, free!”

She did not stop to ask if it was extreme joy that held her. She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, gentle hands folded in death; the face that had never looked at her except with love, gray and dead. But she saw beyond that bitter moment many years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.

There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will against hers.

And yet she had loved him—sometimes. What did it matter! What could love count for in the face of her new freedom.

“Free! Body and soul free!” she kept whispering.

Josephine was kneeling before the closed door with her lips to the keyhole. “Louise, open the door! I beg; open the door—you will make yourself ill.”

“Go away. I am not making myself ill.”

Her fancy (幻想) was running wild along those days ahead of her, all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shake that life might be long.

She stood up after a long time and opened the door to her sister’s begging. She carried herself unknowingly like a goddess of Victory. She held her sister’s waist, and together they walked down the stairs.

Someone was opening the front door with a key, It was Brently Mallard who entered, a little travel-stained (风尘仆仆的), calmly carrying his suitcase and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one, He stood amazed at Josephine’s sharp cry; at Richards’ quick motion to screen him from the view of his wife.

When the doctors came, they said she had died of heart disease—of the joy that kills.

32．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 indicate?

A．Mrs. Mallard decided to fight back when her husband beat her.

B．Mrs. Mallard was trying hard to fight against her heart trouble.

C．Mrs. Mallard was struggling with the guilty feeling of happiness.

D．Mrs. Mallard was extremely sad because of her husband’s death.

33．What can we infer about Mr. Mallard?

A．He was killed in a railroad disaster.

B．He survived the railroad accident.

C．He was unaware of what was going on.

D．He hurried back to comfort his wife.

34．What can we learn from Paragraph 14 “Her fancy…. might be long”?

A．Mrs. Mallard was more afraid of her future life.

B．Mrs. Mallard missed her husband very much.

C．Mrs. Mallard always thought life was hopeful.

D．Mrs. Mallard used to think life was hopeless.

35．What really killed Mrs. Mallard?

A．The joy of seeing her husband coming back alive.

B．The shock of losing her coming freedom.

C．The fear of seeing the ghost of her husband.

D．The sadness of losing her husband suddenly.
