VII. 任务型阅读
阅读下面短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。
Children know that summer is probably the most fun of all seasons. However, experts say it is also the most dangerous, especially, for children aged 14 and under. In its first study of children's safety in the US, the National Safe Kids Campaign (NSKC) founds that nearly half of the injury-related (与受伤相关的)deaths among children happened in summer.
Experts are not surprised by the study's results. They always know summer is a dangerous season for children. During the summer, children are out of school and spend more time outdoors. They are more likely to get into an accident or be injured. "While we encourage children to be active and spend more time outdoors, they need to understand the importance of safety," said Everett Koop, an expert of the NSKC.
To help children stay safe, the NSKC started a "Make It a Safe Kids Summer" campaign during National Safe Kids Week, from May 5 through May 12. Here are some important summer safety tips from the NSKC:
◇Always wear your seat belt.
◇Make sure there is an adult around when you decide to go swimming.
◇Wear a life jacket when on a boat or doing water sports.
◇Obey all traffic rules.
◇Don't meet e-pals alone.

The custom of April Fool's Day was started in 1545. A Norwegian (挪威的) scientist, Loof Lirpa, was staying in London, where he was trying 1 (find) the secret of flight.2-1-c-n-j-y

He asked the king to be present (出席) at a flight show at Westminster on April 1.
So the king stood outside the Palace of Westminster on April 1, and waited for Mr. Lirpa to come flying past. But, of course, nothing 3 (happen), and it became the tradition afterwards, to play tricks（诡计）on people in the same way on this day.
In fact, Loof Lirpa was not playing a trick: he was 4 (tell) the truth. He had learnt how to fly. The reason that he didn't appear (出现) in Westminster was that his flying-machine had crashed into a tree, and he had been killed.
Although most people in Britain haven't heard of Loof Lirpa, he is very famous in Norway. April 1st is a national holiday, and people remember his flying trip by 5 (have) sky-jump competitions. They also eat a special Loof Lirpa Cake, which was invented by the scientist.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

On September 2, 2013, swimmer Diana Nyad reached Key West, Florida. At age 64, Nyad made history by becoming the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without using a shark cage (防鲨笼). It took her nearly 53 hours to complete the 103-mile swim.www.21-cn-jy.com
"You're never too old to achieve your dream," Nyad said after finishing the swim. "Never give up."
This was Nyad's fifth attempt to complete the swim. She first tried in 1978, and then made three more attempts in 2011 and 2012. What finally helped her succeed? She had trained for years, sometimes swimming for days at a time. But even more important than that was her mind. Besides, she had a team that helped her along the way.
Other swimmers had made the trip before, swimming inside shark cages which protected them as they moved through the dangerous waters. But Nyad did not want to use a cage.
Although Nyad faced many challenges along the way, she thought it was all worth it to achieve a life-long dream. She wrote on her blog (博客),"I am so proud of my team, and...I am also proud of myself. "Many others are proud of Nyad too. Even President Barack Obama offered his congratulations.

I never saw my father home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my father take a "night out with the boys". He had no hobbies but just took care of his family.
For 22 years, since I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday at 9:00 a. m. He was always interested in my life---how my family was doing. The calls even came when he and my mother were in Australia, England or Florida.21·cn·jy·com
Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days, painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked, was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Five years ago, my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set (秋千) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him. But again, I had laundry to do, and the house to clean.
The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1996, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.
The call came at 4:40 a. m. That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida. I got on a plane immediately, and I vowed (发誓) that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him and really get to know him.
I arrived in Florida at 1:00 a. m., but my father had passed away at 9:12 p.m. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.
In the years since his death I have learnt much about my father, and even more about myself. As a father, he never asked me for anything but my time. Now he has all my attention, every single day.

IV. 任务型阅读(10分)
A few days ago, I ran into (撞上) a stranger as he passed by. I said sorry to him and he said, "Excuse me too. I wasn't even watching for you." We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went on our way after saying goodbye.
Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me, very quietly. When I turned around (转身), I nearly knocked her down. "Get out of the way!" I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying.
That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, "You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and you'll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself-pink, yellow, and your favorite blue."
When I heard this, I thought deeply: While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite; but with my daughter, I was not patient (耐心的). I felt sad and tears began to fall.www-2-1-cnjy-com
I quietly went to Betty's bed, "Wake up, my dear," I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" She smiled, "I found them by the tree. I knew you'd like them, especially the blue." I said, "I am so sorry that I treated (对待) you anyway today. "And she whispered (悄声说), "Mom, that's okay-I still love you anyway." I kissed her and said, "I love you too and I do love the flowers."
That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work before and didn't realize how important family life was. I decided to do better in the future.

VI. One possible version:
Good morning, everyone! Let me introduce myself first. My name's Li Ming. I'm a student of Class One, Grade Nine, Hongxing Middle School. Do you want to know anything strange that I have experienced?
Yesterday morning I received an email. It said I won the prize of a new computer. I was so excited! I gave them a call as quickly as possible. And they told me that I had to pay them two hundred yuan. I did as they told me. But two weeks later, I still haven't received the prize. I realized that I had been cheated. I felt really sad and angry.
As a student, what should we do if we receive the information like that? I think we shouldn't believe it first. We can tell our teachers or parents about it. We can also report it to the police. We are sure the cheats will be caught and punished one day.
That's all. Thank you.
