【題目】If you love adventure and excitement, then Erin Hunter's best－selling Warriors series is for you. The fantasy books follow four cat clans(家族) as they try to survive in the wilderness. In the latest book, Thunder Clan warrior Ashfur has been mysteriously murdered. This sets three warrior cats named Holly leaf, Lion blaze and Jay feather on a journey to find the killer.

The three friends must deal with other problems, too. Jay feather is searching for his parents, but he must make up many lies to find them. Holly leaf encounters her own obstacles when her clan refuses to follow the warrior code. And Lion blaze discovers some unbelievable secrets. All the while, the cats face many dangers and the chance that another warrior will disappear forever.

“Erin Hunter” is really a pen name for Victoria Holmes and two other authors, Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry. They chose Hunter to cover the three of them because of Redwall, a very successful book written by Brian Jacques. It is a similar animal fantasy about rats and mice. Because Warriors was going to fit into that bracket,_they wanted their books to go onto the bookshelves next to his. So they needed a name that would be close to Jacques alphabetically(按字母排序地). Hunter fits perfectly.

“My favorite character is Jay feather. You never know if he is on the side of the angels or not. He's got a quite dark side. In terms of the cat that I would like to be my best friend, that would be Cinderpelt. She is so cool. She has a great sense of humor and she is a good medicine cat. Even if she wanted to be a warrior, she will make the best of her destiny. I really admire that in her，” said Victoria Holmes.

【1】The three warrior cats go on a journey mainly to ________.

A. survive in the wilderness

B. protect another warrior from disappearing

C. find the killer that murdered Ashfur

D. look for some adventure and excitement

【2】From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.

A. Jay feather likes to tell lies and is unreliable

B. the warrior code of Holly leaf's clan is terrible

C. the journey is not easy for the three cats

D. there are lots of unbelievable secrets among the clans

【3】The underlined word“bracket” in the third paragraph most probably means “________”．

A. range B. level

C. angle D. species

【4】Which of the following is NOT mentioned about Cinderpelt?

A. She has a sense of humor.

B. She is on the side of the angels.

C. She makes the best of her destiny.

D. She is a good medicine cat.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】A

【4】B

【解析】如果你喜歡冒險和興奮，你可以去購買暢銷書Warriors系列。本文介紹了Warriors系列。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第一段最后兩句可知本題答案：這三個武士貓?zhí)ど下贸淌菫榱苏页鰵⒑?/span>Ashfur的兇手。故選C。

【2】C推理判斷題。第二段主要介紹了這三個武士貓將要面對的危險，由此可見它們的旅程是不輕松的。故選C。

【3】A詞義猜測題。第三段主要介紹本書的作者筆名的由來：Erin Hunter是三位作家的化名。他們起這個名字是由于之前的一本關(guān)于老鼠的奇幻小說。他們書中的人物也屬于這一類。因此bracket的意思是“范圍”，與range同義。故選A。

【4】B推理判斷題。本題就書中人物Cinderpelt進(jìn)行判斷，答案出現(xiàn)在第四段。故選B。

Dear Sir,

Having read about your newspaper’s decision to start a campaign for protecting the environment, I decide to write you this letter.

The state of our park is very shocked, with rubbish everywhere. I was used to find a trip to the park very relaxing. Upon the arrival of spring, beautiful birds would sing happy in the park. I enjoyed this very much. Therefore, now I just find it tiring, because I have to pick up rubbish where I am going to sit. The grass is covered on plastic bags and food. I am sad that the young people of today do not clean up after themselves before he leave the park. There are so much interesting animals and insects living in our parks. It would be shame if they were destroyed because of people’s activity there.

Yours

【題目】“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move.” said David Belle, the founder of Parkour (跑酷).

Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.

Yes, that’s Parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered as an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.

Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see Parkour much more than that.

Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind Parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in Parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A Parkour lover said, “I love Parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”

Another philosophy we’ve learnt from Parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.

【1】Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of ________.

A. its founder, David Belle

B. the film Casino Royale

C. its risks and tricks

D. the varieties of participants

【2】The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.

A. streets B. objects

C. barriers D. roofs

【3】As its participants moves around a city, ________.

A. they can ask for help

B. they may choose to escape

C. they should run to extremes

D. they must learn to survive

【4】Which of the following is the philosophy of Parkour?

A. Sports and extremes.

B. Excitement and popularity.

C. Dreams and success.

D. Determination and freedom.

【題目】【1】 Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. 【2】. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us develop more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.

Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.

There is another difficult point for us Chinese to understand. 【3】. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous (慷慨)with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. 【4】. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. 【5】. We will find ourselves treated hospitably(好客).

For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

A.Americans don’t show their politeness if it requires a great deal of time.

B.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.

C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.

D.Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.

E.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.

F.If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.

G.America is a mobile society.
