A
Over the last century, engineers all over the world have made efforts to achieve great success in bridge design.
Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge
No bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-longbridge built in 2011 in China operates as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge.
Rio-Niteroi Bridge
Completed in 1974, the Rio-Niteroi Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niteroi across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niterói Bridge is technically known as a “box-girder (箱形梁)” bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000(or more) vehicles (车辆) per day, making it better known in the world.
Hartland Covered Bridge
The Harland Covered Bridge is the world’s longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada’s list of National Historic Sites since 1980. Although it was at first built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
The newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridgo in Chipa was named “world’s longest bridge over water” by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011, a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The dispute was settled when the title of “longest continuous bridge over water” was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of “longest bridge over water”
1. Which bridge is famous as a busy one
A. Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge. B. Rio-Niteroi Bridge.
C. Hartland Covered Bridge D. Jiaozhou Bay Bridge.
2. What is special about the Hartland Covered Bridge
A. It is the longest bridge worldwide. B. It is over 160 kilometers.
C. It has a roof. D. It is a wooden bridge.
3. Where can you find the longest bridge on the sea
A. In America. B. In Brazil. C. In Canada. D. In China.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D

In December 2004, I had just become a professional photographer and was working on a project about communities who live on the sea, known as sea nomads (海上游牧民族). I was living with members of the Chao-Ley tribe (部落) on a small island in southern Thailand. We didn’t share a language and relied on body language to communicate.
I went out to sea with them regularly. One morning, I was due to set out with a group of six Chao-Ley fishermen in a small boat. The sea looked different, with the water totally still.
About 20 minutes after we left and a few miles out in the open sea, one of the fishermen pointed to a small white spot far in the distance. It was getting bigger and bigger very quickly. This was a tsunami (海啸) wave speeding through the ocean.
Usually, the deeper the water, the weaker the wave. But we weren’t out far enough to be safe, nor close enough to shore to make it back in time. We were stuck. I began to feel really scared.
The captain told the six of us where to sit, so we would balance out the boat. My camera was in my backpack. I wanted to capture the scene, but I couldn’t. Any movement would imbalance the boat. Suddenly there was a huge noise. The wave hit the boat, but in a flash the skilled captain managed to swerve (使突然转向) us up and onto the wave. Then the boat moved from the tip of the wave down into safe waters. Our eyes and mouths were wide open, and everyone let out heavy sighs. The captain had saved us all.
Surviving gave me a deep understanding of how important life can be. I’ve been going back to Southeast Asia almost every year since. The photography project has become a thank-you to the people who saved my life. The picture I wanted to take on the boat remains “the one that got away” – I think every photographer has one. But mine changed my life.
4. What happened before the author set out with the fishermen
A. The captain wanted to cancel the trip.
B. He noticed something unusual.
C. They saw a white spot in the distance.
D. It looked like it was about to rain.
5. When did the author start to feel frightened
A. When fishermen on the boat felt nervous.
B. When he realized they were trapped.
C. When the boat was about to be hit.
D. When the boat shook violently.
6. What was the author doing when the tsunami wave hit the boat
A. Helping the captain swerve.
B. Taking a photo of the wave.
C. Trying not to move.
D. Reaching for his backpack.
7. What did the author learn from his experience
A. We should have the courage to take risks.
B. Opportunity never knocks twice.
C. Life is too short to be wasted.
D. Sometimes regrets in life can save us.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在与六个Chao-Ley 渔民乘坐一条小船出海时遭遇了海啸，英勇的船长救了船上的所有人。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One morning, I was due to set out with a group of six Chao-Ley fishermen in a small boat. The sea looked different, with the water totally still.”（一天早晨，我正要和一群六个Chao-Ley 渔民乘坐一条小船出发。大海看起来不一样了，海水完全静止了。）可知，在作者和六个Chao-Ley 渔民准备出发时，作者注意到了一些不寻常的：大海看起来不一样了，海水完全静止了。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Usually, the deeper the water, the weaker the wave. But we weren’t out far enough to be safe, nor close enough to shore to make it back in time. We were stuck. I began to feel really scared.”（通常，水越深，波浪就越弱。但我们还没到安全的地步，也没到及时回到岸边。我们被困住了。我开始感到非常害怕。）可知，当作者意识到他们被困住的时候，开始感到害怕。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The captain told the six of us where to sit, so we would balance out the boat. My camera was in my backpack. I wanted to capture the scene, but I couldn’t. Any movement would imbalance the boat. ”（船长告诉我们六个人坐在哪里，这样我们就能使船平衡。我的相机在我的背包里。我想捕捉现场，但我做不到。任何动作都会使船失去平衡。）可知，为了让船能平衡，船长告知作者在内的六人坐在相应的位置。尽管作者项拿出相机拍摄，但任何动作都会使船失去平衡。可推知，海啸袭击船的时候，作者尽力保持不动。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Surviving gave me a deep understanding of how important life can be. I’ve been going back to Southeast Asia almost every year since. The photography project has become a thank-you to the people who saved my life. The picture I wanted to take on the boat remains “the one that got away” – I think every photographer has one. But mine changed my life.”（生存让我深刻理解了生命的重要性。从那以后，我几乎每年都回东南亚。这个摄影项目已经变成了对那些救我一命的人的感谢。我想在船上拍的照片仍然是“那个侥幸逃脱的人”——我想每个摄影师都有一张。但我的生活改变了我的人生。）可知，经历了那次与死神的邂逅，作者深刻理解了生命的重要性。虽说在那次灾难时，作为摄影者，作者没有拍到现场的照片，但船长的英勇让他们活了下来。由此推知，从自己的经历中作者意识到有时候生活中的遗憾可以拯救我们。故选D。
C
Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas and the other means cold, hard data (数据)—some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.
Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons included art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In the art-focused ones, they might sing the information instead.
The team randomly (随机地) divided the 350 students into either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit —about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques (技巧) after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. “The more we hear something, the more we retain it,” Hardiman says. “It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”
8. What is the purpose of the study
A. To offer great ways to teach art lessons.
B. To find a way to help students learn better.
C. To see if art and science have a lot in common.
D. To prove art might be useful for science learning.
9. What were the students required to do in the experiment
A. Take two types of classes. B. Learn three units in total.
C. Learn two topics for three weeks. D. Choose what they would like to learn.
10. What does the underlined word “retain” in the last paragraph mean
A. Improve. B. Express. C. Remember. D. Finish.
11. What is the text type
A. A research report. B. A book review.
C. A short story. D. An art introduction.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现艺术可以帮助学生更好地记住他们在科学课上学到的东西。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons included art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.”（更重要的是，当他们的科学课包括艺术课时，学生们似乎记得更多他们曾经学过的东西。为了证明这一点，哈迪曼与一些研究人员和六所当地学校合作。）可知，Mariale Hardiman的研究是为了证明艺术对科学学习可能是有用的。故选D
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The team randomly (随机地) divided the 350 students into either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one.”（研究小组将350名学生随机分成两组，一组是传统的科学课堂，另一组是以艺术为主的课堂。）以及“This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.”（这使得研究人员能够看到学生在这两种类型的课堂上的表现。）可知，在实验中，学生被要求选两种类型的课。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后的“It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”（这表明，艺术可以帮助学生应用创造性的自学方法。）可知，艺术可以帮助学生应用创造性的自学方法，这是有助于学习的，即帮助学生记住一些东西，由此可推知，划线单词所在句子意为：我们听到的越多，我们记住的就越多，划线词词义为“记住”。A. Improve.提高; B. Express.表达；C. Remember.记住；D. Finish.完成。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.”（现在，一项研究发现，艺术可以帮助学生更好地记住他们在科学课上学到的东西。）可知，文章主要介绍了一项研究表明，艺术可以帮助学生更容易记住科学课上学到的东西。由此可推知，本文是一份研究报告。故选A。
D
Scientists have solved a puzzle about modern humans, after research showed that a famous skull of a human ancestor found in South Africa is a million years older than experts thought. This discovery has changed what we know of human history.
The skull, which scientists have named “Mrs Ples”, is from an ape-like human relative from a species called Australopithecus africanus (南方古猿). It was found near Johannesburg in 1947 and, based on evidence from its surroundings, was thought to be between 2. 1 and 2. 6 million years old. This puzzled scientists, because although Mrs Ples looks like a possible early ancestor of early humans, the first true humans had already evolved by the time she apparently lived. For this reason, scientists had decided that Australopithecus afarensis, a similar species from East Africa that lived about 3.5 million years ago, was our most likely ancestor instead.
To get a more accurate age for Mrs Ples, a team led by Professor Darryl Granger of Purdue University in Indiana, US, used a new method to date the sandy rocks where the skull lay. They measured the amount of certain chemicals in rocks, which form at a steady rate when they are exposed to cosmic rays (宇宙射线) on Earth’s surface. Once rocks are buried, these chemicals stop forming and slowly disappear;the surviving amount reveals how much time has passed since the rock (or bones) were on the surface.
The new study shows that Mrs Ples and other australopithecine bones nearby are between 3.4 and 3.7 million years old. This means they lived at the same time as their East African relatives, so that either group could have given rise to modern humans. However, team member Dr Laurent Bruxelles pointed out that over millions of years, at only 2,500 miles away, these groups had plenty of time to travel and to breed with each other. In other words, the groups could quite easily have met, had children together and both been part of the history of modern humans.
12. What can we learn about Mrs Ples from the first two paragraphs
A. It is a skull found in East Africa.
B. It is the most possible ancestor of humans.
C. It is a million years older than scientists expected.
D. It is proved to live between 2.1 and 2.6 million years ago.
13. How did scientists get the accurate age of “Mrs Ples”
A. By studying the effect of cosmic rays.
B. By calculating the forming rate of chemicals.
C. By locating the sandy rocks where the skull lay.
D. By measuring the surviving amount of chemicals.
14. What can we infer from the new study
A. Modern humans came into being in East Africa.
B Mrs Ples travelled and had children with East African relatives.
C. The history of modern humans might begin 3.5 million years ago.
D. Ape-like species from Africa could have interacted with each other.
15. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. Historical Puzzle Unsolved B. Ancestor Mystery Solved
C. Mrs Ples: The Earliest Human Being D. Mrs Ples: A Famous Skull
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“In other words, the groups could quite easily have met, had children together and both been part of the history of modern humans.(换句话说，这两个群体很容易相遇，一起生儿育女，都是现代人类历史的一部分)”可知，我们能从这项新研究中推断出来自非洲的类人猿物种可能相互交流。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Scientists have solved a puzzle about modern humans, after research showed that a famous skull of a human ancestor found in South Africa is a million years older than experts thought.(科学家们解开了一个关于现代人的谜题，研究表明，在南非发现的一个著名的人类祖先头骨比专家们认为的要早100万年)”可知，本文主要讲的是科学家们解开了一个关于现代人的谜题，研究表明，在南非发现的一个著名的人类祖先头骨比专家们认为的要早100万年，因此最好的题目是B选项“Ancestor Mystery Solved(祖先之谜已解)”。故选B。

52. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West. We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Upon Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track (足迹；踪迹) so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine (松树) trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. Dad and I found it was so cute that we decided to run after it. After a while, we were completely lost in the forest. There was nothing left in our sight but the trees. “We may not be able to make it back to the farm house in time for supper.” I thought to myself. After a series of useless attempts to find a way out, we felt hungry and tired.
Paragraph 2
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. We got stuck in the forest. And an unexpected shower added to the difficulty of us in finding a way home for all the tracks we had made disappeared because of the rain. I was almost breaking down when my father said, “Don’t worry, my son. I remember there is a river near the farm house. Find the river and we will be back home.” Finally, we found the river and got back to the house along it. Needless to say, we ate a late dinner.

Over the last century, engineers all over the world have made efforts to achieve great success in bridge design.
Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge
No bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-longbridge built in 2011 in China operates as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge.
Rio-Niteroi Bridge
Completed in 1974, the Rio-Niteroi Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niteroi across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niterói Bridge is technically known as a “box-girder (箱形梁)” bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000(or more) vehicles (车辆) per day, making it better known in the world.
Hartland Covered Bridge
The Harland Covered Bridge is the world’s longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada’s list of National Historic Sites since 1980. Although it was at first built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
The newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridgo in Chipa was named “world’s longest bridge over water” by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011, a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The dispute was settled when the title of “longest continuous bridge over water” was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of “longest bridge over water”
1. Which bridge is famous as a busy one

C. Hartland Covered Bridge D. Jiaozhou Bay Bridge.

In December 2004, I had just become a professional photographer and was working on a project about communities who live on the sea, known as sea nomads (海上游牧民族). I was living with members of the Chao-Ley tribe (部落) on a small island in southern Thailand. We didn’t share a language and relied on body language to communicate.
I went out to sea with them regularly. One morning, I was due to set out with a group of six Chao-Ley fishermen in a small boat. The sea looked different, with the water totally still.
About 20 minutes after we left and a few miles out in the open sea, one of the fishermen pointed to a small white spot far in the distance. It was getting bigger and bigger very quickly. This was a tsunami (海啸) wave speeding through the ocean.
Usually, the deeper the water, the weaker the wave. But we weren’t out far enough to be safe, nor close enough to shore to make it back in time. We were stuck. I began to feel really scared.
The captain told the six of us where to sit, so we would balance out the boat. My camera was in my backpack. I wanted to capture the scene, but I couldn’t. Any movement would imbalance the boat. Suddenly there was a huge noise. The wave hit the boat, but in a flash the skilled captain managed to swerve (使突然转向) us up and onto the wave. Then the boat moved from the tip of the wave down into safe waters. Our eyes and mouths were wide open, and everyone let out heavy sighs. The captain had saved us all.
Surviving gave me a deep understanding of how important life can be. I’ve been going back to Southeast Asia almost every year since. The photography project has become a thank-you to the people who saved my life. The picture I wanted to take on the boat remains “the one that got away” – I think every photographer has one. But mine changed my life.
4. What happened before the author set out with the fishermen
A. The captain wanted to cancel the trip.
B. He noticed something unusual.
C. They saw a white spot in the distance.
D. It looked like it was about to rain.
5. When did the author start to feel frightened
A. When fishermen on the boat felt nervous.
B. When he realized they were trapped.
C. When the boat was about to be hit.
D. When the boat shook violently.
6. What was the author doing when the tsunami wave hit the boat
A. Helping the captain swerve.
B. Taking a photo of the wave.
C. Trying not to move.
D. Reaching for his backpack.
7. What did the author learn from his experience
A. We should have the courage to take risks.
B. Opportunity never knocks twice.
C. Life is too short to be wasted.
D. Sometimes regrets in life can save us.
C
Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas, and the other means cold, hard data (数据)—some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.
Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons included art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In the art-focused ones, they might sing the information instead.
The team randomly (随机地) divided the 350 students into either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit —about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques (技巧) after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. “The more we hear something, the more we retain it,” Hardiman says. “It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”
8. What is the purpose of the study
A. To offer great ways to teach art lessons.
B. To find a way to help students learn better.
C. To see if art and science have a lot in common.
D. To prove art might be useful for science learning.
9. What were the students required to do in the experiment

Scientists have solved a puzzle about modern humans, after research showed that a famous skull of a human ancestor found in South Africa is a million years older than experts thought. This discovery has changed what we know of human history.
The skull, which scientists have named “Mrs Ples”, is from an ape-like human relative from a species called Australopithecus africanus (南方古猿). It was found near Johannesburg in 1947 and, based on evidence from its surroundings, was thought to be between 2. 1 and 2. 6 million years old. This puzzled scientists, because although Mrs Ples looks like a possible early ancestor of early humans, the first true humans had already evolved by the time she apparently lived. For this reason, scientists had decided that Australopithecus afarensis, a similar species from East Africa that lived about 3.5 million years ago, was our most likely ancestor instead.
To get a more accurate age for Mrs Ples, a team led by Professor Darryl Granger of Purdue University in Indiana, US, used a new method to date the sandy rocks where the skull lay. They measured the amount of certain chemicals in rocks, which form at a steady rate when they are exposed to cosmic rays (宇宙射线) on Earth’s surface. Once rocks are buried, these chemicals stop forming and slowly disappear;the surviving amount reveals how much time has passed since the rock (or bones) were on the surface.
The new study shows that Mrs Ples and other australopithecine bones nearby are between 3.4 and 3.7 million years old. This means they lived at the same time as their East African relatives, so that either group could have given rise to modern humans. However, team member Dr Laurent Bruxelles pointed out that over millions of years, at only 2,500 miles away, these groups had plenty of time to travel and to breed with each other. In other words, the groups could quite easily have met, had children together and both been part of the history of modern humans.
12. What can we learn about Mrs Ples from the first two paragraphs
A. It is a skull found in East Africa.
B. It is the most possible ancestor of humans.
C. It is a million years older than scientists expected.
D. It is proved to live between 2.1 and 2.6 million years ago.
13. How did scientists get the accurate age of “Mrs Ples”
A. By studying the effect of cosmic rays.
B. By calculating the forming rate of chemicals.
C. By locating the sandy rocks where the skull lay.
D. By measuring the surviving amount of chemicals.
14. What can we infer from the new study
A. Modern humans came into being in East Africa.
B. Mrs Ples travelled and had children with East African relatives.
C. The history of modern humans might begin 3.5 million years ago.
D. Ape-like species from Africa could have interacted with each other.
15. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. Historical Puzzle Unsolved B. Ancestor Mystery Solved
C. Mrs Ples: The Earliest Human Being D. Mrs Ples: A Famous Skull

It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West. We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Upon Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track (足迹；踪迹) so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine (松树) trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
