It was late one evening. I can’t remember what it was about, but my dad and I had a very big argument when my mom was away. We both said things we didn’t mean, and in the end I said, “I’m leaving.” And he said, “Good. The sooner, the better.”
I threw a few things in a suitcase and closed the door angrily behind me, not knowing where I was going. After walking aimlessly for about 20 minutes, I stopped at a local supermarket. Then my phone rang. It was my mom calling. She said, “Hey, Mary. Where are you?Dad is worried about you.”
“How can he worry about me?I’ve been away for nearly half an hour, but he didn’t call,” I said with annoyance(气恼). My anger returned and I remembered all the hateful things he’d shouted to me. “Listen, Mom. You can tell Dad that I’m fine. I’ll call you tomorrow,” I said and hung up.
I walked around the store, trying to get my thoughts together. By the time I paid for my purchases, it had been much later than I used to be out alone. When I left the supermarket, a large piece of white paper was in front of me. On the piece of white paper were these words: “Please come home! I miss you and I’m worried about you!”
Then a car pulled up beside me. Hanging out of the window was my dad. Beside him, smiling gently, sat my mom. And that’s when I started laughing. I laughed so hard that I cried. Despite my best efforts to run away from home, my father finally managed to track me down. I couldn’t leave now, not with him sitting there with caring eyes.
25. Hearing Mary decided to leave home, Mary’s father was very ________.
A. worried B. nervous
C. angry D. surprised
26. After her mother called her, Mary ________.
A. became angrier than before B. gave in to her father
C. cried and calmed down D. agreed to go home
27. What does the underlined word “purchases” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Actions Mary regretted. B. Goods Mary bought.
C. Telephone calls Mary made. D. Lessons Mary learned.
28. What probably happened at the end of the story
A. Mary’s mother hated her father. B. Mary still refused to go home.
C. Mary’s father became angry again. D. Mary returned home happily.

My family moved from Taiwan to a small town in central Georgia, where my dad got a visa for his family and a job. I had just learned English, and from what little I could gather from my classmates, Santa Claus would come down one's chimney and put toys in one's stocking on Christmas Eve! What a great country, I thought. After I looked up “stocking” in my Chinese-English dictionary, I knew what I had to do.
On that fateful night, after everyone went to bed, I took my longest, cleanest knee sock and attached it to a nail already on the mantel (壁炉). Obviously, the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa character. Unfortunately, my parents were.
I woke up before everyone else on Christmas Day and ran to the fireplace. To make a sob story short, I was hit with the reality of an empty sock and the biggest lie ever told. I burst into tears, quickly took down the sock, and stuffed it in the back of a drawer. Santa was dead.
Every December since then, the topic of Christmas memories would unavoidably come up, and I would amuse my friends with my poor-little-me story. I had to make it as funny as possible, or else I would cry.
How could I know that Santa was just fate Nine years ago, on Christmas Eve, an older man with a white beard and a red cap knocked on my front door. He said, “I've been looking for you for twenty-five years.” He handed me a red stocking, winked, and left, On top of the stocking was a card. It read: “For Becky-I may have missed you in the second grade, but you've always lived in my heart. Santa.” Through tear-blurred eyes, I recognized the handwriting of Jill, a friend I had met just two months before. I later discovered that the older man was her father. Jill had seen the hurt little girl underneath the thirty-something woman and decided to do something about it.
So now I believe that Santa is real. I don't mean the twinkle-eyed character of children's mythology (神话) or the creation of American holiday marketers. Those Santas annoy and sadden me, I believe in the Santa Claus that live inside good and thoughtful people. This Santa does not return to the North Pole after a crazy delivery but lives each day purposefully, really listens to friends, and then plans deliberate acts of kindness.
29. What happened to the author on Christmas Day in her second grade when she came to the fireplace
A. She received no gifts. B. She heard a sob story.
C. She found Santa was dead. D. She discovered her sock was gone.
30. When the author told her friends about the story, she felt ____________ in her heart.
A. proud B. amused C. hate D. regret
31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To share her special experience. B. To remember a thoughtful friend.
C. To show her appreciation of kindness. D. To express her love for Christmas gifts.
D
We all need to eat, and when we go to buy food at the supermarket, we’re offered many choice. But we often buy food that’s been produced in huge amounts and that’s traveled many miles before it ends up on our plate. So for some, growing their own food is a better choice – and it tastes good too!
From growing vegetables in little pots on your balcony to taking care of a small plot of land, there are many ways to produce home-grown food. It can be backbreaking work digging, weeding and watering the soil, but the result is fresh, home-grown fruits and vegetables, helping us keep a ‘five-a-day’ diet.
The recent Covid-19 pandemic lock-down means demand for homegrown food has seen a comeback in the UK. Miriam Dobson from the University of Sheffield, told the BBC that some people have been spending a lot of their time on their plots, growing plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables – which, at times, have been challenging to buy in supermarkets. She says “Coronavirus has reminded people of the weakness within our global food system. In such a difficult time, interest in self-support rises.”
But for those with limited space, a solution to grow your own vegetables lies closer to home – using pots. Sheila Brand lives in a third-floor flat in Rotterdam. She has managed to grow tomatoes and eggplants and is already harvesting raspberries. She told the BBC watching the plants grow “is very exciting: 'Oh it's got a new leaf!' ”
As well as the benefits of saving money and enjoying tasty food, growing your own from a balcony or window ledge not only improves your well-being and immediate environment, you can actually grow a lot of vegetables. So, maybe it’s time for us all to get planting and develop our green fingers!
32. A “five-a-day” diet (Para. 2) probably refers to a diet that include__________ every day.
A. Five meals B. Enough fruits and vegetables
C. Five kinds of rice D. Plenty of water
33. According to Para 3, home-grown food is getting popular again in the UK recently because _____.
A. It’s more interesting, cheap and delicious.
B. our global food system is doing harm to us.
C. It saves the time and money on transportation.
D. it can be hard to buy fresh food during the pandemic.
34. According to the writer where can you grow your own food if you live in a small flat
A. In a pot. B. On a plate. C. In a garden. D. On the roof.
35. What does the writer imply in the last sentence
A. Growing your own food can do good to your health.
B. Growing your own food can make your fingers green.
C. Growing your own food can improve your gardening skills.
D. Growing your own food can bring your family more happiness.

It should have been a perfect summer. My father bought me a new bicycle though I couldn’t ride very well. He set a basketball hoop for me in the backyard, and best of all built a tree house beside it. But it wasn’t, because Jeremy Ross moved into the neighborhood.
He laughed at me when he struck me out of the baseball game, and he had a party on his trampoline(蹦蹦床) while I wasn’t invited. Jeremy Ross became my enemy. I didn’t like him at all. Dad understood stuff like enemies. He told me he had enemies too when he was my age and that he knew a good way to get rid of them. “I’ll show you.” he said.
He began to make Enemy Pie in the kitchen which he said was the fastest known way to get rid of enemies. Excitedly, I got my mind working: Dad might put disgusting things like weeds, earthworms and rocks from the backyard into the pie, but none of those. Instead, I smelled something really, really good from our kitchen. Confused, I went to ask my dad. “If the pie smelled bad, your enemy would never eat it.” he said. I was catching on.
Still, I wasn’t quite sure how this enemy pie worked. What exactly did it do to enemies Maybe it made their hair fall out, or made their breath smelly
“Everything is ready except that there’s one part left for Enemy Pie to work. You need to invite your enemy over. Even worse, you have to be nice and make friends with him. I know it’s not easy, but that’s the only way Enemy Pie can work.” Dad told me.
It sounded horrible, but it was worth a try. All I had to do was spend time with Jeremy Ross and then he’d be out of my hair for the rest of my life.
I knocked on Jeremy’s door. Jeremy seemed surprised when he opened the door, waiting for me to say something. “Um, can you come to my house and play with me ” I asked nervously.

第二节 读后续写
Jeremy nodded and came playing with me in my backyard. To my surprise, he was nice. He even taught me the trick of riding the bicycle. Then we shot basketballs happily. He was good at it. It was strange that I should be kind of having fun with my enemy! I let him play games in my tree house which I didn’t even allow my sister in. We had a good laugh and enjoyed each other’s company. “He wasn't a very good enemy,” I thought to myself.
Later that day Dad got us to have pie in the kitchen. I whispered to him Jeremy was no longer my enemy, but he ignored my message. He cut the pie into three pieces, passing one to me and one to Jeremy. I panicked. “Don't eat it! It's bad pie!” I shouted. Dad smiled at me and took a bite of the Enemy Pie. I watched them eating, neither of them losing hair! Cautiously, I took a tiny taste: Yummy! That summer was a perfect summer!
