George lived with his sick mother in a poor village. One bright sunny 36 in July, he went early to the forest two miles away. He was asked to 37 some wood. After working hard for half a day, he looked around for a 38 place to rest and eat his lunch. Suddenly some fine red wild 39 caught his eye.
“How good these will be with my bread and butter!” George thought. He at once set to work to 40 all he could find and then seated himself by the river. Just as he was lifting the 41 strawberry to his mouth, he thought of his mother. “Shall I 42 them for her?” He imagined 43 they would make her happy, yet still looking at them with longing (渴望的) eyes.
“I will eat half, and take the other half to her,” he said. Then the strawberries was 44 two. But he found each half looked so small that he put them together again.
“I will only taste one.” He took one, but soon put it back. Finally, he carefully45 them with leaves, deciding to keep them all 46 his mother.
47 the sun was beginning to go down, George went home with all his strawberries. The nearer he came to his home, 48 he wished to taste them.

三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，计30分）
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

A
Libraries to go
In the small villages of Kenya, Africa, most kids want to read books. But no roads lead to their homes, only miles and miles of sand. Cars and trucks are useless. So library books arrive on the backs of camels. Camels can handle(处理) the sand and the books. Two camels, a driver, and a librarian walk to the villages. One camel carries about 400 pounds of books, and the other carries a tent. At each village, the librarian sets up the tent and displays the books inside. Two weeks later, the camels return with new books.
Some people in the mountains and forests of northern Thailand get books in a different way. Their “libraries” are carried on the backs of elephants. These huge animals can handle the difficult journey. Because of their size, they can carry heavy loads(负荷) of books in metal(金属的) boxes. The metal protects the books from the heavy rains that fall in the area.
Indonesia has its own challenges. This country is made up of over 17,000 islands. Therefore, most people travel by boat, and so do their library books. A wood library boat holds about 500 books packed in boxes. Boxes of books are left in villages and are traded for new books a few weeks later.
For people who live in a faraway area and can’t get to a library, a library that comes to them brings more than books. It brings a whole world of information.
( )51. Why can camels deliver(递送) library books to some villages in Kenya?
A. They can handle all of the rain.
B. They can walk in the sand and carry heavy loads.
C. They can carry the books in metal boxes.
D. They can travel through the forests.
( )52. Boats carry library books in Indonesia because _________.
A. boats are faster than elephants
B. the villages lie in the sand
C. the forests are too hard to walk through
D. people live on many different islands
( )53. Because of the heavy rain in Thailand, __________
A. camels carry library books
B. library books are placed in metal boxes
C. boats deliver library books
D. elephants carry tents and library books

AMY was looking for a gift for her little daughter. Suddenly she stopped
before a store of dolls(玩具娃娃). “Girls like dolls,” she thought as she
stepped into it.
Looking around, she saw a grandma doll---one with gray hair and a pair of
glasses. In her mind appeared Joyce, her mother.
When Amy was a little girl, she got her first doll from Joyce for her
birthday. Then the second, the third… A doll a year never arrived late.
“Why always a doll?” This question had been in Amy’s mind until
one day her father gave the answer.
Little Joyce dreamed to have a doll. Her parents promised one for her fifth birthday. Sadly, they both died in a traffic accident before it arrived. The never-received gift was the most precious (珍贵的) in her eyes.
Her mother’s story being recalled, Amy got an idea.
It was Joyce’s birthday. A package was delivered to her with a card that read:
Dear Joyce,
I forget to send you the package that you should have received on May 20, 1956, your fifth Birthday. The gift inside has aged, but I felt that you might still wish to have it.
Love, Angel(天使) of Joy Joyce opened the package and saw a lovely grandma doll. She clasped the doll that she had waited so many years for, crying softly. The doll given by “Angel of Joy”, made her the happiest “child” in the world.
( )58. We can tell from the story that Joyce is _____
A. Amy’s daughter
B. Amy’s mother
C. the grandma doll
D. Angel of Joy
( )59. Why did Joyce think dolls were the best birthday gifts for Amy?
A. Amy dreamed to have all kinds of lovely dolls.
B. Amy looked like a doll when she was a little girl.
C. Joyce received a lot of lovely dolls from her parents.
D. Joyce had never got the dream doll from her parents.
( )60.The underlined word “clasped” means “______” in the passage.

B. threw
C. made
D. bought
( )61. What can we learn from the story?

C. Parents sometimes need their “Angel of Joy”.
D. Parents’ birthdays are very important.

Doctors working with children with autism (孤独症) have found that it would be helpful to use colours, especially red.
The use of colour can be especially helpful when children get angry or emotional reaction (情绪反映) to loud noises, like a dog barking. If they are not angry, just emotional, the colour red seems to help. However, if they are angry, orange or yellow seems to work better.
Children’s doctors sometimes use colour therapy(疗法)glasses to help those children. Wearing a pair of red, orange or yellow glasses may quickly make a child calm down and happier. Coloured glasses are not expensive and simple to use. And children love wearing them.
Colour therapy glasses are also a good way to improve your life. Do you need to change negative (负面的) thoughts? Wear red glasses. Do you need to cheer up? Wear yellow. Do you need to become calm? Wear blue. Green is good for an overall feeling of happiness.
We naturally associate（使发生联系）colours with moods or feelings. We say “I’m green with envy”, “I see red”, “I’m feeling blue” or “I’m in a black mood”. It is easy for us to become out of balance. With colour therapy, each colour is associated with a special mood or feeling. A proper colour may allow our moods or feelings to return to a balanced state and we’ll feel better.
( ) 62. According to the passage, ________ is helpful to children with autism.
A. black
B. red
C. white
D. purple
( ) 63. If someone wants to be more cheerful, he or she should wear ________ glasses.
A. blue
B. grey
C. green
D. yellow
( ) 64. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The colour orange is helpful when a child is angry.
B. When a child is emotional, the colour red seems helpful.
C. With colour therapy, all colors have similar moods or feelings.
D. A proper colour can help an unbalanced person feel better.
( ) 65. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Colours and Moods
B. Colours and Personalities
C. Colour Therapy
D. Colour Tests
