SCENE Ⅱ.—The Palace of Happiness.
场景二——快乐宫殿
(A troop of HAPPINESSES rush into the hall, singing, “There they are! They see us！”
(一群幸福冲进大厅，唱着：“他们来了！他们看到了我们！”
They dance merrily around the CHILDREN, then the one who appears to be the chief goes up to TYLTYL with hand outstretched.)
他们围着孩子们欢快地跳舞，然后那个看起来是首领的人走向狄蒂尔并伸出手。)
THE HAPPINESS How do you do, Tyltyl
幸福：你好，狄蒂尔。
TYLTYL Who are you
狄蒂尔：你是谁？
THE HAPPINESS Don't you recognise me
幸福：你不认识我？
TYLTYL (a little embarrassed) Why, no ... I don't remember seeing any of you.

我们和你一起吃、一起喝、一起醒来、一起呼吸、一起生活！
①outstretched adj. 张开的，伸开的 ②“分句(They dance ... )＋then＋分句(the one who appears ... outstretched)”。who引导定语从句，修饰the one，在从句中作主语；with hand outstretched是“with ＋宾语＋宾语补足语”表示伴随。
TYLTYL Oh ... But I should like to know what your names are ...
狄蒂尔：哦……但是我想知道你们叫什么名字……
THE HAPPINESS I am the chief of the Happinesses of your home; and all these are the other Happinesses that live there.

③cram v. 挤满 ④pure adj. 纯净的，洁净的 ⑤transparent adj. 透明的 ⑥“谓(are)＋主(the Happiness of ... Forest)”。本句是完全倒装句，who引导非限制性定语从句，其中包含插入语of course，修饰the Happiness of the Blue Sky；冒号后的结构为“主句(you will see him)＋时间状语从句(every time ...)”。
TYLTYL Excuse me, but do you know where the Blue Bird is

Ⅰ 阅读
As a child, I was a slow learner when it came to physical skills. Perhaps this was why I got angry when a friend suggested that I try stand up paddle boarding (站立式划桨). My fear was that my ability to learn a new physical skill had not improved with the passing decades.
However, stand up paddle boarding had already caught my eye. During visits to Maine lakes, I had seen many people delightedly practicing it under a warm sun. It looked so easy and fun, as the only thing it needed was the ability to stand up, right
In a burst of optimism, I bought a paddle board and, with my friend Mike, headed for a lake deep in the Maine woods, out of sight of potential critics. After setting the paddle board on the water, athletic Mike generously offered to test it out. He jumped on it successfully on the first try. Then it was my turn. I began by kneeling (跪) upon the shaky paddle board and after a while, slowly and carefully, I tried to stand but immediately flew into the water. I tried it again, but again I failed.
The act of falling reminded me that learning was an energy consuming effort. New physical skills might be more difficult to acquire later in life, but I believed that adults had an advantage over children. The effort together with the built in understanding that falling is part of the process, is accompanied by faith born of experience. After countless failures, I finally stood upright on the paddle board and I had never been so happy about the simple act of standing up.
Now, I'm one of those enjoying the fun of stand up paddle boarding under a brilliant sky. Maybe someone on the shore will point at me and remark, “How does he do that？” I already have my response. Practice may not always make perfect, but it certainly makes possible.

Points __9__ (award) for every mib successfully pushed out, but in keepsies, players keep the marbles they've knocked out. Thus, players may either walk away with additional mibs __10__ risk losing their prized possessions.

Ⅳ 读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us, as honesty is always regarded as a virtue. Every time I talk about the topic, something crowds in my mind as if it had just happened.
I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced. At that time, I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car, so I said yes without hesitation.
I drove my father to Mijas, promising to pick him up again at 4 pm, then I went to a nearby garage, and put the car in there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see the movie. However, I was so absorbed in the plot of the movie that I forgot the time. When the last movie finished, I looked at my watch: 6 pm. I was two hours late!
I thought my father would be very angry if he knew what I was doing. And he would never let me drive again. So I decided to make up an excuse. Then, I drove to the appointed place, my father was sitting in a corner, waiting patiently. I first apologized for being late, then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as possible, but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car. I would never forget the way he looked at me. “I'm very disappointed that you thought you had to lie to me, Jason.” My father looked at me again and said, “When you didn't show up on time, I called the gas station and asked if there was anything wrong. They told me you never picked up the car. So, you see, I know there's nothing wrong with the car at all.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
A wave of guilt swept over me. “I'm going to walk home now and think where I have gone wrong all these years，” father said to me.
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者驾车去接他的父亲，但是他因为去看电影而迟到，他谎称去修车了，知道作者说谎，父亲非常生气。作者承认错误了吗？对此作者有什么反思？
[精彩范文]
A wave of guilt swept over me. I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late. Dad listened carefully as a sadness passed through him，“I'm angry, not with you but with myself. You see. I realize that I have failed as a father if after all these years you feel that you have to lie to me. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father.”
“I'm going to walk home now and think where I have gone wrong all these years，” father said to me. “But father, it's exactly eighteen miles home from here, and it's dark. You can't walk back，” I begged. My protests, my apologies and the rest of my words were useless. I had let my father down and I was about to learn one of the most painful lessons of my life. Dad began walking along the dusty roads. I quickly jumped in the car and followed behind. I apologized all the way, telling him how sorry I was, but he simply ignored me. For 18 miles he kept walking. Seeing my father in so much pain was the most awful experience that I have ever faced. However it was also the most successful lesson.

Ⅰ 阅读
As a child, I was a slow learner when it came to physical skills. Perhaps this was why I got angry when a friend suggested that I try stand up paddle boarding (站立式划桨). My fear was that my ability to learn a new physical skill had not improved with the passing decades.
题号 Ⅰ Ⅱ Ⅲ Ⅳ
难度 ★★ ★★ ★ ★★★
However, stand up paddle boarding had already caught my eye. During visits to Maine lakes, I had seen many people delightedly practicing it under a warm sun. It looked so easy and fun, as the only thing it needed was the ability to stand up, right
In a burst of optimism, I bought a paddle board and, with my friend Mike, headed for a lake deep in the Maine woods, out of sight of potential critics. After setting the paddle board on the water, athletic Mike generously offered to test it out. He jumped on it successfully on the first try. Then it was my turn. I began by kneeling (跪) upon the shaky paddle board and after a while, slowly and carefully, I tried to stand but immediately flew into the water. I tried it again, but again I failed.
The act of falling reminded me that learning was an energy consuming effort. New physical skills might be more difficult to acquire later in life, but I believed that adults had an advantage over children. The effort together with the built in understanding that falling is part of the process, is accompanied by faith born of experience. After countless failures, I finally stood upright on the paddle board and I had never been so happy about the simple act of standing up.
Now, I'm one of those enjoying the fun of stand up paddle boarding under a brilliant sky. Maybe someone on the shore will point at me and remark, “How does he do that？” I already have my response. Practice may not always make perfect, but it certainly makes possible.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己学习站立式划桨的过程告诉我们练习或许不会达到完美的程度，但一定能使之成为可能。
1．What led the author to try stand up paddle boarding
A．Interest. B．Pressure.
C．Loneliness. D．Patience.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It looked so easy ... was the ability to stand up, right？(它看起来既简单又有趣，因为它唯一需要的就是能站起来，对吧？)”可推知，兴趣驱使作者尝试站立式划桨。故选A。
2．Why did the author head for a remote lake
A．Mike had a preference for the place.
B．He had a bad relationship with critics.
C．The lake was a perfect place for practice.
D．He hoped to practice without being judged.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In a burst of optimism ... out of sight of potential critics.”可知，作者想远离潜在的批评者，由此可推知，作者前往偏僻的湖泊是因为他希望在不被评判的情况下练习。故选D。
3．What lesson can the author learn from the act of falling
A．Adults always have an advantage over children.
B．Learning is a process with little effort and input.
C．Physical skills are hard to acquire for the young.
D．Falling is unavoidable in the process of learning.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The effort together with ... born of experience.(努力与理解失败是过程的一部分，伴随着源于经验的信念。)”可知，作者从摔倒这个动作了解到在学习过程中跌倒是不可避免的。故选D。
4．Which of the following can best describe the author
A．Independent and athletic.
B．Competent and innocent.
C．Optimistic and determined.
D．Enthusiastic and generous.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In a burst of optimism, I bought a paddle board”可知，作者是乐观的；根据第四段中的“After countless failures ... on the paddle board”可推知，作者是有决心的。故选C。
Ⅱ 完形填空

Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us, as honesty is always regarded as a virtue. Every time I talk about the topic, something crowds in my mind as if it had just happened.
I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced. At that time, I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car, so I said yes without hesitation.
I drove my father to Mijas, promising to pick him up again at 4 pm, then I went to a nearby garage, and put the car in there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see the movie. However, I was so absorbed in the plot of the movie that I forgot the time. When the last movie finished, I looked at my watch: 6 pm. I was two hours late!
I thought my father would be very angry if he knew what I was doing. And he would never let me drive again. So I decided to make up an excuse. Then, I drove to the appointed place, my father was sitting in a corner, waiting patiently. I first apologized for
being late, then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as possible, but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car. I would never forget the way he looked at me. “I'm very disappointed that you thought you had to lie to me, Jason.” My father looked at me again and said, “When you didn't show up on time, I called the gas station and asked if there was anything wrong. They told me you never picked up the car. So, you see, I know there's nothing wrong with the car at all.”

[精彩范文]
A wave of guilt swept over me. I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late. Dad listened carefully as a sadness passed through him，“I’m angry, not with you but with myself. You see. I realize that I have failed as a father if after all these years you feel that you have to lie to me. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father.”
“I'm going to walk home now and think where I have gone wrong all these years，” father said to me. “But father, it's exactly eighteen miles home from here, and it's dark. You can't walk back，” I begged. My protests, my apologies and the rest of my words were useless. I had let my father down and I was about to learn one of the most painful lessons of my life. Dad began walking along the dusty roads. I quickly jumped in the car and followed behind. I apologized all the way, telling him how sorry I was, but he simply ignored me. For 18 miles he kept walking. Seeing my father in so much pain was the most awful experience that I have ever faced. However it was also the most successful lesson.
