My publisher shut down, and we had no idea if another publisher would take over my novel. In addition, my second novel hadn’t sold as well as the first one. It seemed that I was watching m y career going downwards. It was so terrifying.However, as I shared my fears with my mother, she said something I would never forget: “I would love you if you were a garbage man.” She wasn’t looking down upon garbage men. She was just saying that whateve r my job was, she loved me. It was just her honest feeling at that moment, but those simple words are still the ones I use to fight so many of my fears today.To this day, when I sit down to write every day, I say those words to myself, “I’d love you if you were a garbage man.” I can still feel the selflessness of my mother’s love.A few years ago, my mother passed away because of breast cancer. It was she who set me on the path of writing a series of children’s books to give strength to my own children. The first two are I’m Amelia Earhart and I’m Abraham Lincoln. In six months, we’ll publish I’m Rosa Parks. For me, this isn’t just a book series. It’s my dream for my own daughter, for my sons, and for all of us who need to see the power and potential (潜力) in each of us.This series was born also because I was tired of my daughter thinking that reality TV stars were heroes. I tell my kids allthe time: That’s fame (名气). Fame is different from being a hero. I wanted my kids to see real heroes who are no different than themselves. For this reason, each book tells the story of the hero when he/she was a kid. We see them as children. So it’s not just Amelia Earhart and Abraham Lincoln being famous; it’s them being just like us.Look around. We live in a world that desires heroes. Our solution is what my mother taught me with her words: the power of an ordinary person. I can proudly repeat my mother’s words to my kids. They’ll understand how I love them. 1．The author felt terrified because .A．he was experiencing a difficult time in his careerB．his mother passed away because of breast cancerC．he had no idea how to sell his second novelD．he was given a job as a garbage man2．What was the author’s understanding of his mum’s words?A．Mum wanted him to be a garbage man.B．Mum loved him no matter what he did.C．Mum was looking down on garbage men.D．Mum didn’t want him to continue writing novels.3．What does “themselves” in the fifth paragraph refer to?A．Real heroes. B．Children’s books. C．The author’s kid s. D．Reality TV stars.4．The author is trying to teach his children to .A．respect real heroes B．behave themselvesC．be ordinary people D．realize their own potentialC15、Back-to-school ShoppingWinter vacation is going by so fast. Soon it will be time to go back to the classroom. An American website asked its users how they plan to do their back-to-school shopping. Here is what they said!1．Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passageA．35% users may do back-to-school shopping online.B．30% users may do back-to-school shopping in stores.C．70% users may do back-to-school slopping online.D．70% users may do back-to-school shopping in stores.2．What can be inferred(推断)from the passage?A．Online shopping is not so popular in modern society.B．Most people will do back-to-school shopping before school starts.C．American students must buy school uniforms.D．Parents always choose expensive back-to-school supplies for their kids.D16、Maybe you are an average (普通的) student. You probably think you will never be a top student (尖子生). However, anyone can become a better student if he or she does his or her best. Here are some tips (技巧) to help you. Plan your time carefully. You should plan your time for such things as eating, sleeping and dressing. Then make a good, regular time for studying. But don’t forget to set enough time for entertainment(娱乐). Keep your study quiet and clean. Thestudyshould have a desk, a chair and some study materials(材料), but no games, no radio and no television ! When you sit down to study, you can put your heart into it . Make good use of your time. Listen to everything that the teacher says. Listening carefully in class means less work later.

The host, one of the family members, will usually chat with you in order to make you feel important.At the same time, the hostess(女主人) and other family members will cook a big dinner for you. They always prepare more food than you can eat. During the meal, the guest must be the first one to pick up the food. The host will pick food for the guest, which is impolite in the west. But this is a very Chinese way to show their warmth.After the meal, they will go on chatting again with tea and snacks. I n the end, when you’re about to leave, they will ask you to stay longer again and again. A perfect entertainment(招待) will be over by the whole family seeing you off.

Now, an art show called “Doctor Strong From Then to Now” is travelling around the United States.

Since then, he has written forty-five books that have been sold more than one hundred million copies around the world．Doctor Strong’s books are known for their easy use of words and colourful, hand drawn pictures. These drawings bring life to his imaginary creatures, The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and hundreds of others．The San Diego Museum, in California, organized the art show. It included about three hundred Doctor Strong’s early drawings and some of his writings．Most of Doctor Str ong’s books, although written in a funny way, have serious messages. For example, in McElligot’s Pool, he describes the danger of pollution. He discusses the arms race (军备竞赛) in The Butter Battle Book, written in nineteen eighty four．Doctor Strong says he never planned to write stories just for children. He says he writes stories that interest people of all ages. He says he uses easy words so that everyone, even a child, can understand．31.

Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country look like a big garden. However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this nice scenery during the past several years. What has happened to them?Butterfly Conservation, a charity in the UK, is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more serious than people expected. According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species (物种) found in the British Isles, more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining (衰弱) population, including the most popular Meadow Brown. Moreover, half of all butterfly species are dying out.Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping sharply. The Wall butterfly cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England. And the Blue butterfly, which was commonly seen in the south, has started settling in Edinbu rgh in the past few years.The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their living conditions are also degrading.Luckily, Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers. Scientists believe the warm weather will be good news to the butterflies.Sir David Attenborough, president of Butterfly Conservation, said, “A great number of butterflies around us is a signal that all is well with nature. But when they decline, it’s a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way.”The survey is still going on. The public is also encouraged to focus on the UK’s butterflypopulation. The organizers hope the survey will help more and more people realize the value of butterflies in the UK. Butterflies give a symbol of the well-being of nature and the environment.34. What has the survey taken by Butterfly Conservation found?A. The UK butterflies enjoy a cool climate.B. The UK butterflies prefer settling in the north.C. The number of the UK butterflies is getting smaller.D. Butterflies make the British summer more attractive.35. How does the writer support the findings of the survey in Paragraph 3?A. By listing examples (举例子).B. By providing data (列数据).C. By giving explanations (作说明).D. By making comments (作评价).36. What does the underlined word “degrading” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Turning better.B. Getting worse.C. Keeping the same.D. Becoming different.37. Butterfly Conservation expects their survey to ______.A. warn people to care more about the change of weatherB. keep the charity running more smoothly than ever beforeC. help the British government protect nature and the environmentD. help the British better understand how important the butterflies are四、词汇检测(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分)依据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。
