I spent a lot of time making a large shelf for my cave. I found a big tree and chopped it down. This took three days. Then, I chopped off the branches. This took another two days. After that, I chopped the wood away from one side, and then from the other side. This took more than one month. Altogether it took forty-two days. In England, two men with a good saw could have made six of these shelves from that tree in half a day.
I also spent a lot of time looking after my corn and rice crops. I had to protect them from wild animals and birds, so I made a fence around them. I shot some of the birds and hung them up near the corn. After that, all the other birds stayed away. I used one of the old swords I had taken from the ship to cut down the corn when it was ready. I was very proud of my corn and rice and worked hard to increase my crops. A few years later, I had enough corn to make bread. I had to find a way to grind the corn into flour, but the rocks on the island were not hard enough. I finally discovered that a very hard piece of wood would do. I used some cloth to separate the meal from the husks. Not having an oven, I made some square pots with lids and covered them with hot ashes. This baked the dough, and I had bread! I made my cave bigger again to hold the corn and flour so that I could make bread whenever I needed to.
I sometimes wondered how I could get to the land which was visible from the other side of the island. I went to the ship's boat that was blown onto the beach in the shipwreck. However, I could not get it to the water. It was too heavy. I tried many different ways of doing it, but none of them were successful.
6. From Paragraph 1, we know that the writer _______.
A. made a foolish mistake in chopping down a big tree
B. felt hopeless and couldn't made a shelf himself
C. spent a long time making a large shelf without a saw
D. made a small canoe with the wood he chopped down
7. The writer _______to protect his corn and rice.
A. watched out for them day and night
B. divided the cave into several different parts
C. put some old swords from the ship around them
D. built a fence and hung some birds' bodies up near the corn
8. In which order did the writer make bread successfully
a. The writer found a way to grind the corn into flour.
b. The writer baked the dough with square pots.
c. The writer separated the meal from the husks.
d. The writer made some square pots with lids.
A.a-c-d-b B.a-d-c-b C. b-d-c-a D.c-b-a-d
9. The underlined word “visible” in the last paragraph means “ _______”.
A. can be touched B. can be seen C. can be heard D. can be smelled
10.Why couldn't the writer get the boat to the water
A. Because it was too small. B. Because it was too light.
C.Because it was too big. D. Because it was too heavy.

七、任务型阅读。(每空1分,共10分)
The pilot, Antoine De Saint-Exupéry, who wrote The Little Prince, died long ago, but the fictional pilot, who told the story,is as alive today as he was many years ago, along with his prince, the fox, the rose and the snake.
This timeless tale touches upon childhood and growing up. It opens with the reminder:All grown-ups were once children-but few of them remember it. The pilot in this story loses that part of himself. After a stay in the desert with the little prince,he finds his inner child again. It is a simple story with life lessons. Here are some.
One only understands the things that one tames(驯服). Seeing the thousands of
roses that look just like his rose makes the prince feel as if he was tricked by his flower. The fox shows him taming someone takes time. The prince understands the nature of relationships: the time he has wasted on his rose makes her so important.
The fox, as his parting gift, shares his secret with the prince, “One can see rightly
with the heart. What is essential(very important and necessary) is invisible(not be seen) to the eye." When the pilot shows his picture about the snake eating the elephant, adults only see it as a hat. Adults can't see what's inside the snake. What is on the surface is not what matters. This truth sets the little prince free. He decides to join his rose back on his planet.
Has he returned to his planet and his rose The ending exists in the imagination of every reader as well as the pilot. After all, it is a book with something for everyone.

Good morning, everyone! Today is the World Book and Copyright Day. It started in 1995. In order to encourage more people to read more books, all kinds of activities are held on April 23rd. Of all the books, my favourites are the four great classical Chinese novels, which give me much confidence.
However, I didn't like reading in the past and spent most of my free time playing computer games. Now I usually read books in my spare time and I have read a lot of books. Reading books can not only improve our knowledge, but also open up our eyes to the world.
I hope you will enjoy reading as much as I do. Thank you!
