Last July, my parents and I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Seattle, a city on the northwest American coast. Dad did some research and had no difficulty in finding us cheap tickets online. On the day of our flight, we had to wake up very early. When we checked our bags in, we found that one bag weighed too much, so we had to pay a fine. After that, Dad insisted that we go and have some breakfast at the airport restaurant. We had a lot of fun watching many different people there. Then we realized it was getting late, so we rushed to the gate. It took one hour for everyone to get on the plane, but finally the door was shut and we were on our way! I think my favorite experience during our trip was our visit to Mount Rainier, a volcano near Seattle. It was nothing like I had expected. Before we left, my aunt lent us hats to protect us from getting sunburned, so I supposed that it would be very hot. Imagine my surprise when we drove up the mountain and I discovered the top was covered in snow and ice! My uncle led us to a small path beyond the main trails to increase our chances of seeing wildlife. We walked over a small hill, and suddenly before us there appeared a field of snow. Small wild flowers grew up through the snow; underneath the snow we could hear rushing water — a small stream. Little animals stood still to avoid being noticed; tiny birds rose into the air. It was the most beautiful sight that I’d ever seen. 21. What ticket did the father buy for the family? A. Bus. B. Ship. C. Train. D. Airplane. 22. Why did they pay a fine? A. Because they got up late. B. Because they didn’t wait in line. C. Because they came to the airport late. D. Because their bag was overweight. 23. What was the writer’s most impressive experience? A. The flight to Seattle. B. The breakfast in the airport. C. The visit to Mount Rainier. D. The discovery of a small stream. 24. Why did they choose a small path instead of the main trails? A. To enjoy more of the wildlife. B. To take a shortcut to save time. C. To avoid the snowy road. D. To avoid being attacked by animals. 25. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article? A. Seattle is on the northwest coast of America. B. They bought their tickets in a booking office. C. They waited for a long time before getting on the plane. D. The hats were to help protect them from getting sunburned.

There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-term and long-term goals. Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot mean very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The medium-term goals bulked (延伸) on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the whole school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overcome. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static (静止的) thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. 26. Our long-term goals mean a lot______. A. if we cannot reach solid short-term goals B. if we complete our short-term goals C. if we write down the dates D. if we put forward some plans 27. New short-term goals are built upon______. A. two years B. long-term goals C. the goals that have been completed D. current activities 28. When we complete each step of our goals, ______. A. we will win final success B. we are overcome C. we should build up confidence of success D. we should desire for setting new goals 29. Once our goals are set, _______. A. we may change our goals as we have new ideas and opportunities B. we should stick to them whatever happens C. we had better wait for the exciting news of success D. we have made great decision 30. It is implied but not stated(陈述) in the passage that ______. A. those who have long-term goals will succeed B. writing down the dates may discourage you C. the goal is only a guide for us to reach our destination D. everyone should have a goal

When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, they’re usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it good for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too. Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy(树冠) of taller native trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren’t any trees. With increased production come increased profits. Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators(捕食者) in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there. Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂) are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat the coffee plants, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink. Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as “shade grown” and “bird friendly.” Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we’re paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it’s worth it. 31. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Coffee is becoming more expensive to produce. B. Farmers are changing the way they grow coffee C. People should buy full-sun coffee. D. Shade-grown coffee is more popular than sun-grown coffee. 32. What does the underlined word in para.2 mean? A. 砍伐森林 B. 增加植被 C. 保护土壤 D. 种植树木 33. What does increased production of full-sun coffee bring about? A. More insects. B. Better quantity coffee. C. Higher profits. D. larger farms. 34. How do farmers find more land for growing full-sun coffee? A. They buy more land from other farmers. B. They move to another country. C. They cut down trees. D. They turn grassland to farmland 35. The full-sun method may affect the following EXCEPT________. A. air B. birds C. human D. insects

Between sports, games, and playing outside, there is lots of competition for kids’ time. Here are some ways they can still keep up their reading. 36. Encourage kids to take five or ten minutes at the beginning of each day to read, before doing anything else. They can even set a timer (计时器). It’s always possible that they’ll want to keep doing after their time is up. Match books to activities Know a child going to soccer camp? Connect him or her with sports stories by authors like Matt Christopher. 37. The Summer of May by Cecilia Galante is a moving story about a girl experiencing her own summer school. 38. Encourage children to always carry a book with them. It sounds simple, but kids may be surprised to discover all the time during the day they have for reading—on the bus to camp, in a waiting room, or during breaks. Have family reading time Just as you set aside time for reading during the school year, ask families to devote 20 minutes a day to books. 39. Set goals Some kids will have no problem finishing reading four books in summer. 40._____________ Meet with kids to determine them. A. Read for fun B. Read over breakfast C. Always carry a book D.
