Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835.He grew up in Hannibal, Missouri on the Mississippi River.After his father died in 1847, young Samuel went to work as an assistant to a publisher.Ten years later, he became a pilot on a steamboat that sailed on the Mississippi.He heard the riverboat workers call out the words “mark twain！” That was a measure for the depth of water.
In 1861, the American Civil War put an end to steamboat traffic on the Mississippi.So Clemens traveled west and became a reporter for newspapers in Nevada and California.
Later, he wrote funny stories and called himself Mark Twain.Twain became famous for his story, “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” in 1865.
Twain also traveled a lot and began writing books about his travels.His stories about a trip to Europe and the Middle East were published in “The Innocents Abroad.” And his stories about life in the western United States became the book called “Roughing It.”
In 1870, he married Olivia Langdon and moved to Hartford, Connecticut.During the 1880s, he wrote books for children, such as “The Prince and the Pauper.” Twain also wrote “Life on the Mississippi.”
Mark Twain was already a successful writer before he became famous as a public speaker.Over the years, he had invested a lot of money in unsuccessful businesses.In 1893, he found himself deeply in debt.So to earn money, he traveled around the world giving humorous talks.His speeches made people laugh and remember events they had experienced.

Many of the stories written by Mark Twain take place in Hannibal, Missouri.The small wooden house where he lived as a boy still stands there.Next to the house is a wooden fence.It is the kind described in Twain's book, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer，” published in1876.
In that story, Tom has been told to paint the fence.He does not want to do it.But he acts as if the job is great fun.He tricks other boys into believing this.His trick is so successful that they agree to pay him money to let them finish his work.“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” is considered one of the best books about an American boy's life in the 1800s.
Tom Sawyer's good friend is Huckleberry, or “Huck”， Finn.Mark Twain tells this boy's story in “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” Huck is a poor child, without a mother or home.His father drinks too much alcohol and beats him.
Huck's situation has freed him from the restrictions of society.He explores in the woods and goes fishing.He stays out all night and does not go to school.He smokes tobacco.
Huck runs away from home.He meets Jim, a black man who has escaped from slavery.They travel together on a raft made of wood down the Mississippi River.Huck describes the trip: “It was lovely to live on the raft.Other places seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft doesn't.You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft...Sometimes we'd have that whole river to ourselves for the longest time...We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lie on our backs and look up at them...”

Some people who like to eat very hot chili peppers say that they can help you breathe better if you have a cold.Others believe that chilies give you added energy.People have been growing chilies for centuries, and there are many kinds.
Want to fire up your meals with homegrown chilies? They need a warm climate.If you plant the seeds outside when the weather is cool, place the seeds under a glass.That will add warmth from the sun and protect them from wind.You can also start the seeds in your home or a greenhouse.
If you plant inside, fill a 7.5 centimeter pot with soil.The pot should have holes in the bottom so water can run out.Tap the sides of the pot to settle the soil.
Drop several seeds over the surface of the pot and cover with a thin layer of vermiculite(蛭石), a substance that can hold air, water and nutrients.Then cover the top of the pot with a see-through plastic bag.Place the pot in a warm area.
When the chilies start growing, take off the bag.When the plants have reached about two centimeters high, place each one carefully in its own seven and one-half centimeter pot.
When the roots show through the holes in the bottom of the pot, transplant each seedling into a twelve centimeter pot.When the plants are twenty centimeters high, tie the plants to a stick placed in the pot to support them.
When the chili peppers are thirty centimeters high, pinch the tops off with your fingers.That should make new branches grow.When the first flowers show, give the plants some potash fertilizer.When the weather is warm, put them into five-liter pots and place them outside.Make sure they get a good amount of light and water.
42．The most important condition that chili seeds need in cool weather is that________.
A．there is enough sunshine

Good hobbies for children can bring much pleasure to them and their parents. Hobbies are defined as anything a person likes to do in the spare time. Some kids like swimming or playing some types of sports, or they may like quiet hobbies such as reading, art, music, cooking, or computer games.

I just let her try it herself, and now it has turned out to be a good thing for her self-esteem and mental ability.
Also some good hobbies for kids are age-appropriate, which can be very good for developing specific areas your child may need help in. For example, some musical instruments are age-specific.

【语篇解读】 我经常上班路过的桥出事了，我不得不绕着走。有一天我由于有个约会匆忙开车，因对新路不熟悉而掉进坑里憋了车胎。我坐在那里无一个人可以求助。正在我为难时一个小卡车从草原开出来，起初我有些害怕他是个坏人，后来他主动帮助我换车胎，还设法让我与我的丈夫取得了联系，最后当我们感谢他的时候他却说：“我希望我妻子或女儿发生这样的事情时也同样有人帮助她们。”
11．D 从上半句的“A truck had hit the bridge”可以看出在这个桥上行驶时不安全的
12．C 从第一句“The only highway to go to work...”可以得知作者是绕道去上班。
13．D 和下文的“and not knowing”并列，此处是因为不熟悉道路的情况才撞上了一个大坑洞，把车胎撞爆了。be familiar with “熟悉”；be involved with“涉及，牵连”；be satisfied with“对……满意”； be identified with“卷入，投入”。
14．A 这里是一个宾语从句，从句中缺少表语，从下文中可以看出这里应该是一个表地点的词。
15．C 从后面的“stopped”可以看出作者是把车尽可能远的开到了右边。pull指“(车)行驶”。
16．A 从下文中可以看出作者没有把车胎换下来，并不是抛弃了。
17．B 从下文中陌生人让作者去打电话，可以看出作者此时无法和任何人取得联系。get in touch with“和……取得联系”；catch up with“赶得上”；have to do with“与……有关”；put up with“忍受……”。
18．B 从第四段的第一句话“I was struggling to get the__20__out when this man in the pickup pulled in behind me.”可以看出是一辆pickup“小卡车”开了过来。
19．B 根据上文的内容“没有一个人可以联系”，当一个人出现的时候作者应该感到“宽慰”，而同时由于是个陌生人，她又感到有点害怕。
20．C 从下文的“When he got the spare out...”得到提示，这里作者是想把备用轮胎取出来。
21．B 从故事的结局可以看出这个陌生人是主动向作者提供了帮助的。
22．A 当拿出备用轮胎的时候，作者发现这个轮胎也没气了。从also一词可以看出和前面的“a flat tire”一样。
23．D 从下段的第一句话“We got the tire fixed...”可以看出这个陌生人帮作者去补了轮胎。
24．C 前半句的“We got the tire fixed...”和后半句的“he took me back to my car”是并列关系，故用连词and。
25．C 当作者和帮忙的人回来的时候，作者的丈夫已经在那里做这做那了。wait on“伺候，帮忙做事”。
26．B 从下文可以看出，陌生人和作者的丈夫一起把轮胎换了下来。
27．A 作者和丈夫两个人都对陌生人表示感谢，故用both。
28．B 两个人对陌生人的帮助表示感谢，感谢自己给他带来的麻烦。
29．A 陌生人对作者的感谢回复了一句让作者难忘的话：“……并且希望我的妻子或女儿在遇到这样的麻烦时有善良的人能够帮助她们。”
30．C 解析同29.
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了怎样让一个不善于交际的人如何成为一个自信的人的几种方法。

32．A 词义猜测题。从上下文的内容暗示可以看出这个词的意思应该是“激励的；给予灵感的”这个意思。
33．B 推理判断题。从全文的内容即这几条建议可以看出B项是正确的；从第三段的最后一句话可以看出A项不正确；从第四段的有关内容可以得知C项不正确；从第五段第内容可以判断出D项不正确。
34．B 主旨大意题。从第一段的最后一句可以看出本文要讲的内容是：怎样培养自己的自信心。
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了美国最著名的也最受爱戴的著名作家马克吐温的生平简历及成长的背景。
35．C 计算推理题。他生于1835年，1847年父亲去世，当时12岁，10年之后当了一个舵手，应该是22岁。
36．A 细节理解题。从第二段的第一句话“In 1861, the American Civil War put an end to...”可得知答案。
37．C 推理判断题。最后一段说马克吐温的晚年生活并不幸福，可以推断出他的作品也受到了他心情的影响，是非常严肃的。

42．B 细节理解题。从第二段的第二、三句话可以判断出，在凉爽的天气里种植辣椒，最重要的就是保证种子生长的温度。
43．A 词义猜测题。从下句话“That should make new branches grow.”可以推测pinch的意思是“pinch the tops off”是“掐尖”的意思，这个意思和cut off的意思相近。
44．C 计算题。第五段是第一次移苗，第六段是第二次移苗；最后一段的倒数第二句的描述是第三次移苗，总计有三次移苗的描述。
45．D 推理判断题。本文详细介绍了辣椒种植的过程，一步一步的详细的管理步骤，从而可以发现从一粒种子到开花结果并不是一个简单的过程，需要付出很多的精力，故可以推断出D项是正确的；A项只是部分人的看法，并没有科学依据；B项是文中提到的事实，而不是推断出的结果；C项事实错误。
46．C 推理判断题。由文章第一段的第二句得知。
47．D 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段的最后一句“the unsatisfactory social conditions that existed in England over a hundred years ago”得知。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Maurice Sendak's children's book, Where the Wild Things Are, published in 1963, has become very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year.
The book's main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed without any supper.Before long, Max's room magically becomes a forest, and he sails away to a land where monsters live.Max isn't scared, though, and becomes king of the wild things, but after a while, he begins feeling homesick.Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in his bedroom.
Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and imagination.Melina Davis, an education professor, said she likes how the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them.“This allows children to shape the story themselves，” she said.

Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story.“The book talks about what all children go through, like ‘I was naughty but my mommy still loves me’，”Davis said.
The book also encourages children to face their fears.“I think it's really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters，” Davis said, “Kids can find out monsters aren't always the thing under the bed that's going to scare them.I think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”
Since the book has been successful throughout the years, a movie was recently made and many people are excited to see it.Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little scary for younger children.“You don't want bad dreams over a book that's extremely wonderful，” Davis said.

Jamie Oliver has been invited by Gordon Brown to prepare a banquet at No.10 for President Barack Obama and other leaders of the G20, offering a cut-price menu to reflect times when trade and industry are far from prosperous and the rate of employment is decreasing.
Downing Street sources say Oliver, the well-known chef, will cook using “honest high-street products” and avoid expensive or “fancy” ingredients(材料)．
The prime minister is trying to avoid a repeat of the embarrassment last year when he sat down to an 18-course banquet at a Japanese summit to discuss world food shortages.
Obama, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and other leaders will be served by apprentices(学徒)from the Fifteen London，a restaurant Oliver founded to help train young people in poverty in order to make a living by mastering a skill.
Brown wants the dinner to reflect the emphasis of the London summit, which he hopes will lead to an agreement to lift the world out of recession.“To be invited to cook for such an important group of people, who are trying to solve some of the world's major problems, is really a privilege，” said Oliver.
“I'm hoping the menu I'm working on will show British food and produce is some of the best in the world, but also show we have pioneered a high-quality apprentice scheme at Fifteen London that is giving young people a skill to be proud of.”
The chef has not yet finalized the menu, but is expected to draw inspiration from his latest book, Jamie's Ministry of Food, which has budget recipes for beef and ale stew(啤酒炖菜)and “impressive” chocolate fudge cake.
6．The underlined word “recession” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to“________”．
A．business B．opposition
C．discussion D．depression
7．What can we learn about Oliver from the text?
A．He is a well-known American cook.
B．He is invited to attend the G20 summit.
C．He has founded the Fifteen London.
D．He is one of the apprentices serving leaders of the G20.
8．The menu of the banquet for the leaders of the G20 is supposed to________.
A．include all delicious British food
B．use inexpensive produce with special characteristics
C．be rich, varied and of high quality
D．imitate the menu of last Japanese summit
9．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．Oliver is honored to be invited to cook for the G20 leaders.
B．Altogether three presidents are mentioned in the text.
C．President Barack Obama offers the cut-price menu.
D．The menu for the G20 dinner banquet has been decided.

7．C 细节理解题。由第四段中的“...from Fifteen, the London restaurant Oliver founded to help train young people in poverty in order to make a living by mastering a skill.”定语从句核心词Oliver founded可知C项正确。D项中的apprentices(学徒)错误，若改为chefs(主厨)则正确。
8．B 细节推断题。由第二段中的“...will cook using ‘honest high-street products’ and avoid expensive or ‘fancy’ ingredients(材料)．”和倒数第二段中的“I'm hoping the menu I'm working on will show British food and produce is some of the best in the world...”可推知B项正确。
9．A 推理判断题。由文中第一段第一句前半句“Jamie Oliver has been invited by Cordon Brown to prepare a banquet at No.10 for President Barack Obama and other leaders of the G20...”可知A项正确。由尾段首句“The chef has not yet finalized the menu.”可知D项中的has been decided错误。
10．C 细节理解题。由文中第四段中的“...leaders will be served by apprentices(学徒)from the Fifteen London，a restaurant Oliver founded to help train young people in poverty in order to make a living by mastering a skill.”可知C项正确。B项中的luxurious在文中没有信息支持，并与第四段中的“...to help train young people in poverty in order to make a living by mastering a skill.”矛盾，故排除。
