Last summer, Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to building in Chicago. Maria really liked some things about the city，but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.
One day, Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor, Mrs. Garcia, carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil. Maria wondered how Mrs. Garcia was able to garden in the city.
"My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don't have a yard, "said Maria.
Mrs. Garcia laughed. "I'll show you, "she said.
Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia would take her to the park，but she took her to the roof （屋顸）. When the door opened，Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.
"What a wonderful garden!"said Maria.
Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.
"I plant flowers in my own place，"Mrs. Garcia said，but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up here. Some people grow vegetables just like your mom. You can do some of the same things in the city as in the countryside. You just have to be creative!"
3. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the community garden?
A. It used the empty space well. B. It helped keep the air clean

C
Do you have brown hair? Are you taller than other kids your age? These characteristics were decided before you were born. You got your traits from your parents. They passed their traits on to you through genes （基因）.
Genes carry codes （代码） for blue eyes or brown eyes. Genes say how tall you will get and what color hair you will have. You got half of your genes from your mother. You got half of your genes from your father. So you have your own set of genes. Each person gets different genes for each body part. That is why you look like but not exactly like your brother or sister.
A dominant （显性的） gene shows up most of the time. Brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. A recessive （隐性的） gene shows up less often. Light hair comes from a recessive gene. Dark hair is more common. Look at the eye color and hair color of the people around you. You will see that this is true.
Genes help to make you who you are. But they don't tell the whole story. Your genes may help you to be fast and strong. But you still need to learn how to run or swim or skate well.
6. The underlined word"traits"in Paragraph 1means .
A. charactcristics B. expericnces C. achievements D. possibilities
7. According to Paragraph 3，you can see most of the people around you have .
A. brown eyes with dark hair B. brown eyes with light hair
C. blue eyes with dark hair D. blue eyes with light hair
8. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Genes carry codes for eyes and hair. B. Genes help to make you who you are.
C. Genes help you to be fast and strong. D. Genes make brothers look similar.

Lizzie﹣s diary from Antarctica （南极洲）
Day 3：Tuesday December 2
We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We'd be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth，sometimes you can't fly at all.
We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we'd be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather
It turned clear at 9：30and we took off at 10：30on a little red plane called a Dash﹣7. But even when we were in the air，there was still a chance we wouldn't be able to fly the whole day.
Day 4：Wednesday December 3
After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.
We're staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It s about minus 20C today，which for me is very cold，but the regulars（常客） here are often seen walking around in T﹣shirts!
Day 5：Thursday December 4
I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic. I'm told it's a bit colder today, about minus 50C, but it's not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course before we're allowed to go off base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.
Day 7：Saturday December 6
Not a cloud in the sky and it's warm enough to sit outside （in a jacket）.
The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery （凤景） changes every day.
At first I thought I was going mad. I'd step outside in the morning and think，"I'm sure that big mountain of ice wasn't there yesterday. "It's because the sea ice is always moving﹣slowly thankfully!
9. Lizzie sat outside wearing a jacket on .
A. Tuesday B. Wednesday C. Thursday D. Saturday

六、任务型阅读：
I once believed that a friend is a friend all the way. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.
Friends of convenience(便利). They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children’s closest friends. Friends of convenience are good indeed. They’ll help us when we need it. They’ll look after our cats when we go on holidays. But we don’t ever get too close or tell too much. Between us, we’ll talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed(失望). However, people still find it necessary to make friends like this.
Special-interest friends. These friendships aren’t deeply personal or emotional(感情上的). They lie in some shared interests, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.
Historical friends. We all have a friend who knew us when…maybe we were back in the second grade of primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our secrets to. The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. But we’re still a personal part of each other’s past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened(矫正), and our getting together makes us think of an earlier part of ourselves, which is important and never lost.
Cross-generational friends. These are friendships that from across generations(代). I have in my own life a precious(珍贵的) friend, a woman of 65, who is clever, who listens well, and who means not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I’d like to be when I grow up.
Best friends, I believe, totally love and help each other.

1______ of friends Description of friends
Friends of convenience They can be the 2 or the mothers of our children’s closest friends. They can help us when we are in need. Though we don’t talk about all the topics, this doesn’t mean it is 3_______ for us to have friends like this.
4_____ friends We usually 5_______ some interests with our special-interest friends, so we may have different friends like an office friend, a tennis friend, etc.
Historical friends We got to these friends when we were very 6_______ , so we know how we 7______ before our teeth were straightened. Over these years we have 8______ greatly, but our getting together can help us remember each other’s happy old days.
Cross-generational friends Cross-generational friends usually aren’t from 9______ own generation. Maybe a friend like this is the one I want to be like in the 10______ .
