Is there anything strange high up in the world's tallest mountains If so, is it a big bear Is it a monkey Or is it a kind of man
No one knows. This mystery has puzzled (困惑) the world for years.
In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints(脚印)in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a very large man. But men don't walk without shoes in the snow!
In 1906, another climber saw more than footprints. Far off, he saw a very large animal standing on two legs. When he watched, it ran very quickly.
Fifteen years later, newspapers had new stories about the “something”. A mountain climber said he had seen the “snowman” walk slowly across the snow, far below him. He said it looked like a very large man.
From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints. The pictures showed clearly that the “snowman” walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an ape (猿) man The mystery grew! And the mystery keeps growing. Someday we may find out just what it is that makes the large footprints.

七、任务型阅读理解(每题2分,共10分)
On the dark night of May 5 in the year 1110, the moon slowly disappeared. Though the stars and the sky could be clearly seen, the moon couldn't be seen until nearly daytime. People expressed their worries about it, but nobody knew what happened. For over 900 years, scientists have been trying to figure out what caused the strange event. However, hardly anybody was able to come up with any ideas.
Now scientists have finally found an answer—volcanoes(火山)!The forgotten eruptions(爆发)of Japan's Mount Asama happened around the beginning of September in 1108 and lasted nearly two months. A lot of ash(灰尘)was produced. It moved slowly towards the sky and finally covered the moon.
But how did scientists discover this They had to look at the ice from Greenland and Antarctica. The huge ice is useful to scientific study. It can show what the climate(气候) was like a long period of time ago and what was in the air at that time. Scientists noticed that there was more volcanic ash in the ice around May 5,1110.
Tree rings were also helpful in getting the answer. The rings change thickness with the climate. Scientists were able to see the year 1109 was a cold and rainy year and that people failed to get enough food. This supported the idea that a volcano had erupted.
任务一、根据短文内容,将画线的句子翻译成汉语。

How to Communicate with Our Parents
Communication with our parents is one of the first things we have done since we were born. As we grow older, we'll find it's not easy to communicate with our parents openly and effectively. So what should we do when communicating with them Here are some of my ideas.
Firstly, we can make a list of things that we and our parents disagree about most. Try to find out the reason why we disagree with them. Accept each other's ideas little by little. If there are still disagreements, we'd better not get too angry. Secondly, we should talk with them more. Sharing ideas can make parents and children closer. Besides, we should also learn how to really listen. Listening is a skill that must be learned and practiced. Finally, be sure to be polite. We and our parents are a family in which everyone should be loved and cared about..
