AWhenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal1.The best title for the passage is ______.A.Conversations between Father and Son B．Standing at the Top of the MountainC．Reaching the Top of the Mountain D．How to Get to the Top of the Mountain2.

The name is new, but the idea is old. Young people and their parents don't understand each other. The world has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, "Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down."There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened."When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn't have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn't seem to make much difference. ""Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn't know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. Theydidn't want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.""Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They're making people listen to them. I am proud of their generation."5. What is the writer's attitude towards the generation gap?A. Unacceptable.B. Awful.C. Common.D. Funny.6.

One day he brought a basket of apples to the rich man’s house. On the doorsteps, he met two monkeys dressed like children. They jumped onto the basket to eat the apples and threw some on the ground. The farmer politely put off his hat and asked monkeys to get off. They obeyed(服从)and the farmer went into the house. He asked to see the rich man. A servant took him into the room where the rich man was sitting.“I have brought you the basket of apples you asked for.” He said“But why have you brought a half-empty basket?” The rich man asked.“I met your children outside, and they stole some of the apples.”8.

If you eat one, you will become cleverer indeed.Pay only three pounds for one fish head.”The boy paid him three pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head and handed it to him. A raw fish head is not good—not even for a hungry boy to eat it up in two gulps.“Do you feel anything？”Asked the fisherman.“Not in my head,” said the boy.The boy lay on the ground and thought. One whole fish costs only two pounds.I had paid him three pounds for the fish head. Why couldn’t I have a whole fish for soup, a head for brain and one pound left over?
