(Text 2)

(Text 3)
W: What was the play about?
M: Well, this woman met this man ...
W: Oh, a love story as usual!
M: Actually they were brother and sister, but they hadn't seen each other since they were babies because their parents broke up and took one child each.
(Text 4)
W: This is a beautiful park. Shall we come again tomorrow?

(Text 5)

(Text 6)
W: Would you like to go skating with me this afternoon?
M: Oh, I'd love to, but we're going to clean our dormitory as soon as school is over.

W: Only two of us? Oh, no!
M: Then what do you want to do? I've suggested so many things. Now it's your turn to make a suggestion.
W: I'm hungry, and I can't think of anything except food.

W: Oh, it's Joan! Look at my job description — Office Manager. But what am I doing? I'm creating production schedules ... I'm doing market research ... writing reports that aren't in my job description.

M: Shelly, do you think Joan's going to come in here right now and say，“Shelly, honey, you are so great, you are so fantastic! Please, let me give you more money！”

A
Gertrude Chandler listened. Another train was passing her house in Putnam, Connecticut. She loved living across the street from the railway station.
Sometimes, Gertrude was ill and had to stay home from school. When she was not feeling well, books were her friends. One day in 1899, while she was reading a book, Gertrude, at the age of 9, glanced (瞥) out the window at a train. She could see inside its last car. She saw a small stove (炉子), cups, and a coffee pot. How comfortable it looked! It was like a little home. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in a boxcar?
After high school, Gertrude decided to find a job. She had always loved to write. Soon she was writing for a newspaper in her town. Later, at age twenty-six, she wrote her first real book. With her sister Frances, Gertrude wrote more books. Most of these were for grown-up readers.
In 1924, Gertrude wondered again about living in a train car. She decided to write a story called The Boxcar Children. The characters in the book were called the Alden children. They were named Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny. Afraid of living with a grandfather they had never met, the Alden children made a home for themselves in an old red boxcar they discovered in the woods. The oldest boy Henry worked in a nearby town to buy food and other things they needed. The brave children made a happy life for themselves and had many adventures (奇遇) together. When Gertrude became a teacher, she read the boxcar book to her pupils.
During the next thirty years, Gertrude wrote eighteen more books about the boxcar children. She died in 1979, but her well-loved books live on. The adventures of Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny still bring smiles to the faces of young readers.
语篇解读：本文是记叙文。格特鲁德·钱德勒住在铁路边，路过的火车使她幻想生活在火车车厢中的情景。随后，她创作了《棚车少年》系列作品，让书中的人物替自己实现了儿时的梦想。
21．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．Why Gertrude's family lived near a train station.
B．How Gertrude got the idea of living in a boxcar.
C．Why Gertrude's friends were mostly books.
D．How Gertrude spent her days off school.
解析：选B 段落大意题。由第二段可知，格特鲁德生病在家看书时，瞥见窗外路过的火车的最后一节车厢，里面的陈设很温馨，给人一种小家的感觉，于是她便幻想住在火车车厢中会不会很棒。因此，本段主要介绍格特鲁德是如何产生住在火车车厢中这个想法的。
22．What happened to the Alden children?
A．They had to support themselves.
B．They lived in a boxcar on a train.
C．They had no families to live with.
D．They had many adventures on a train.
解析：选A 推理判断题。由第四段中的“the Alden children made a home ... in the woods”和“The oldest boy Henry worked ... things they needed”可知，这几个孩子独自住在森林里的一节废弃车厢里，年长的哥哥通过打工来维持兄妹几个的生活。
23．What can we learn about Gertrude Chandler?
A．She wrote most of her books with Frances' help.
B．She dropped out of school at a very young age.
C．She is known for her books for children.
D．She liked traveling by train.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Gertrude wrote eighteen more books about the boxcar children”和“her well-loved books live on”可知，格特鲁德所著的《棚车少年》系列儿童读物在她去世后依然流传于世，且倍受喜爱。
B
You may ride your bicycle in a rush to get to school every morning. You may fight to get a bit of space on a bus or on the subway. You may also watch taxis crawl their way through traffic jams.
No matter where you are, all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days. Although they all have their problems, many cities also have a type of transport that has become a cultural icon (象征物)．
In London, to avoid the traffic jams above ground, people use the “underground”， also called the “tube”. The city has the oldest and most complicated underground railway systems in the world and the underground is the pride of many Londoners. With 12 lines and 275 stations across the city, the underground, is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting across London. In London, you are never far from a tube station.
New York is famous for its yellow cabs. They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across Manhattan, where the subway doesn't take you everywhere. Stopping a cab is easy; just stick out your arm like what you do in any other cities. But, with over 12,000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple, New York also has traffic jams.
Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service, the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of San Francisco. Although once damaged by a serious earthquake and challenged by cars, the cable car is never caught in traffic jams, and it provides better views than the subway.
But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles. If you visit this city, you'd better rent a car. The city's public transportation is terrible. It can take hours to get across the town by bus. The subway covers just a small part of the city centre. The light rail line only runs between the Long Beach Hotel and the city centre. That's why Angelenos (洛杉矶人) love their private cars more than any other people in the world.
语篇解读：本文是说明文，介绍了几个外国大城市的公共交通状况。
24．If you have a chance to visit London and want to avoid the traffic jams, you'd better ________.
A．ride a bicycle B．take a taxi
C．take the subway D．rent a car
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的内容可知，在伦敦，为了避开地面上拥挤的交通，人们都会选择乘坐地铁。它包括12条线路和275个车站，是畅游伦敦最简便快捷的途径。故选C。
25．Which type of transport has become a cultural icon of the Big Apple?
A．The noisy vehicles. B．Cable cars.
C．The subway. D．Yellow cabs.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知，纽约最著名的交通工具是yellow cabs。坐这种车出行快速、简便，你只需一招手便可以打到车。故D项正确。
26．People in Los Angeles like to hire private cars because of the following EXCEPT that ________.
A．the public transport is terrible
B．it is not expensive to take a private car
C．the subway covers a small part of the city centre
D．people have to spend hours getting across Los Angeles by bus
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章的最后一段可知，这个城市的公共交通状况糟透了：坐公交车穿越整个城市需要好几个小时；地铁只覆盖了市中心的一小部分。故B项符合题意。
27．The passage mainly tells us ________.
A．how big cities in foreign countries develop their transport
B．how people in cities avoid traffic jams
C．why London has the oldest and most complicated subway systems
D．why people call New York the Big Apple
解析：选B 主旨大意题。根据文章的第一、二段内容可知，本文的中心话题是世界上所有的大城市现在都有交通问题。为解决这一难题，作者列举了伦敦、纽约、旧金山和洛杉矶等一些大城市的做法。由此可知，B项为最佳选项。
C
Everglades National Park (大沼泽地国家公园) is located in the state of Florida.It is the largest wilderness in the entire country and makes up 25% of the wetlands in the state.The park is home to several rare and endangered species.It is also the third largest national park in the US, after Death Valley and Yellowstone.Each year, about 1 million tourists visit the park.On a global level, it has been announced as a World Heritage Site.
Unlike most other national parks, Everglades National Park was created to protect an ecosystem (生态系统) from damage.In 1947, President Harry Truman spoke at the official opening of Everglades National Park, saying the goal of creating the park was to protect forever a wild area that could never be replaced.
10,000 different islands make up Everglades National Park.Each of these islands is lived by natural wildlife.The Everglades is home to about 15 species that are endangered.In addition, more than 350 bird species and 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish live within the park.The Everglades is also home to 40 species of mammals and 50 reptile species.
There are many ways to explore the Everglades.Visitors can see alligators (短吻鳄) while hiking the Anhinga Trail.The Everglades is one of the only places on Earth where freshwater alligators and saltwater crocodiles live in the same area.Visitors using airboats are likely to see large groups of birds.Some visitors might enjoy riding bicycles through Shark Valley.Others may want to move slowly through waters where they can see insects and wildlife closely.
According to experts, changes to the Everglades are becoming a danger to several different kinds of wildlife.They say it is a result of actions the US government began more than 50 years ago, and settlers began even earlier.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了作为世界文化遗产之一，位于美国佛罗里达州的大沼泽地国家公园。
28．In the first paragraph, we're mainly told that ________.

A．What the government has done to protect the park.
B．How the park's environment was badly changed.

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A dog's mind is only equal to that of a two-year-old baby.__31__ Therefore, they are probably the first to notice any change in the behaviour of their masters. Let's do some deep digging to understand the amazing ability of a dog.
They sense your feelings. Isn't it strange？__32__ This is true. A study published in the Animal Cognition journal says that dogs are known to come to people who appear sad or depressed. It doesn't matter if the person is their owner or a stranger. They have an ability to sense sadness and are attracted to troubled souls.
__33__ Dogs can easily tell when you're playing with favorites, and if you reward or play more with other pets, your dog might notice it and feel uncomfortable.As they can't say how they feel, they'll scratch (挠), yawn or lick their mouths.
They smell fear. Let's say you are faced with your worst fear. Would you get scared and run away or just face it？Before choosing how to deal with it, you should remember one thing. __34__ Research shows that dogs often sense their masters' responses in dangerous situations. If you fear something and choose to back away, chances are that your pet is going to do the same thing.
They're watching you.We are all raised as respectable individuals who are taught to respect elders, obey the law and help out people in need from time to time. __35__ But if you have a dog at home, it is time to be serious about them. Dogs like generous people. So just be careful around your pet; it may judge you on how you behave with others.
A．They sense health problems.
B．They understand when ignored.
C．They know when no one's looking at them.
D．You would be setting an example to your pet.
E．Every time you feel sad, your dog just knows it.
F．But dogs are able to sense everything around them.
G．However, not all of us take these three things seriously.
语篇解读：本文主要向我们介绍了狗的一些令人惊奇的能力。
31．选F 根据第一段的“Therefore, they are probably the first to notice any change in the behaviour of their masters.”可知，第一段主要讲了狗能感知它们周围的任何东西。因此，它们能很快地感知主人行为的任何变化，故选F。
32．选E 根据此空后面的“A study published in the Animal Cognition journal says that dogs are known to come to people who appear sad or depressed.”可知，此段讲的是狗更能感知人的悲伤。当你不开心时，你的狗都能感知到，故选E。
33．选B 根据第三段的“Dogs can easily tell when you're ... notice it and feel uncomfortable.”可知，当你忽视了你的宠物狗时，它们都能感知到。
34．选D 根据此段的“Research shows that dogs often ... pet is going to do the same thing.”可知，当你遇到危险的状况时，狗狗也能感知你的反应。同样，当遇到危险的时候，它也会和你做出一样的反应。因此，你应该为你的宠物树立一个好的榜样。
35．选G 根据最后一段的“We are all raised as respectable individuals who are taught to respect elders, obey the law and help out people in need from time to time.”可知，这里提到了三件事，故选G。
第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分45分)

Just then Goddess Fortune came down the __39__ and saw the beggar. She said, “I've wished to __40__ you for long. Now, open your __41__ and I'll pour gold into it. But all that falls into the wallet will be pure __42__ while all falling upon the __43__ shall become dust. Understand？”
“Yes，” said the beggar.
“You should __44__！ Your wallet is a __45__ one, so don't load it too heavily，” said the Goddess Fortune.
The excited beggar could __46__ wait to have gold. He quickly opened his wallet, and a __47__ of gold was poured into it. The wallet grew heavier.
“Is that enough? Isn't it cracking？” asked the Goddess Fortune.
“Never __48__. It's still strong enough，” answered the beggar.
The wallet was filled with so much gold that the beggar's hands began to __49__. “If only the golden stream would __50__ forever! Just a little more! __51__ just a handful or two，” said the beggar.
“It's full. The wallet will __52__，” warned the Goddess Fortune. But the beggar requested, “It will __53__ a little more.”
Some more gold was added and the wallet split (裂开). The __54__ fell upon the ground and became dust. The beggar had nothing but his __55__ wallet.

非选择题部分(共55分)
第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分45分)
第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Sometimes homework can become a battle __56__ parents and children. Kids often appear to put off homework to the very last minute, while their parents are __57__ (worry) that they may fail at school if not __58__ (treat) it seriously and timely. The result seems to be conflict.
As parents, you should give your children a chance to talk about their schoolwork. Even if you know nothing about __59__ particular subject, you can still help just by talking and listening and helping them find their own answers. If you do not understand the work they __60__ (give), use the Internet or ask friends and family to take a look.
It is important to help your children keep a routine. Some children prefer to do homework __61__ (direct) after school while others prefer to play first, and do homework __62__. Let your children decide what is right for them. Try to create a suitable place __63__ they can do homework, somewhere with good lighting and no __64__ (interrupt)．
If your children have specific learning needs and you feel the homework is an issue, make an appointment with the teacher as soon as you can __65__ (ask) for some advice.
语篇解读：孩子们常常把作业留到最后一分钟去做，而父母经常督促他们写作业，父母怎样做更合适呢？
56．between 有时候家庭作业会成为父母和孩子之间的一场斗争。between ... and ...意为“在……和……之间”，是固定搭配。
57．worried 父母担心他们如果不及时认真地对待家庭作业的话，他们可能会在学校考试不及格。所填词作表语，且用来形容人，故用形容词worried “担忧的”。
58．treating if引导的条件状语从句用了省略形式，主句和从句主语都是they，且they与treat “对待，处理”是主谓关系，故用现在分词。
59．a 即使你对一个特定的学科一无所知，你仍然可以通过交谈、倾听和帮助他们找到自己的答案来实施帮助。句中的“subject”是可数名词，表示“学科”，此处表示泛指，因此用不定冠词修饰。
60．are given/have been given 如果你不明白给他们布置的作业，就用互联网或者让朋友和家人看一看。本句中的“they”指孩子们，give与they是动宾关系，因此用被动语态。可用一般现在时表示对事实情况进行一般性的陈述，也可用现在完成时强调过去的动作对现在的影响。
61．directly 一些孩子喜欢放学后就直接做作业。directly“直接地”，为副词修饰动词do。
62．later 而其他孩子喜欢先玩，随后再做作业。根据语境和前面的“play first”可知，这里有比较明显的先后关系，故用later “随后，然后”。
63．where 分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，并在从句中作地点状语，故填where。
64．interruption(s) 此处指“光线好且不受打扰的某个地方”。依据句中的“no”可知这里需要填名词，故填interrupt的名词(复数)形式。
65．to ask 尽快约一下老师以寻求建议。不定式to ask for some advice作目的状语，表示“make an appointment”的目的。

参考范文：
My fellow students，
Currently, most students in our school read little English literature, not only because they consider it too difficult, but because they don't think it is so necessary. In my view, however, English literature is what we can't afford to miss. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of English and have a taste of a different culture. Better yet, it allows us to communicate with those great minds.
I hereby appeal to every one of you to read more and you won't regret it!
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
第二节：概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Your attitude plays a big part in your everyday life and can influence how your life may turn out in the future. If you have a good attitude, you'll be the kind of person who works hard and you'll live the kind of life many would admire. Here're some tips which can help you improve your attitude.
Spend time with those who share your positive attitudes. This is a must if you want to improve your attitude. The people you surround yourself with most of the time will reflect upon your life. So always make sure that these people share your positive attitudes and lift you.
When you take action, always take steps to act with a purpose, so that your actions are in line with your values. For example, Walt Disney's main purpose is to “make people happy”. So next time you act, think of your purpose and improve your attitude while doing so!
Being polite when given help or asking for it isn't a hard thing, yet so often we forget these simple words, especially with those closest to us. If you want to improve your attitude, use “please” and “thank you” every time you're given the opportunity.
If you want to improve your attitude to life and to those around you, stop comparing yourself with others. It's human to compare our lives with others', but when we do it too often we can drag (拖) ourselves down. So spare yourself the worry and stop comparing; only focus (集中) on your own life and you'll be much happier in the process.
Gratefulness is one of the most powerful attitudes in your life. If you want a better life, give thanks for all that you have each and every day. Gradually, you'll receive more things to be thankful for!
So how's your attitude today? Does it need a little fine tuning?
参考范文：
Your attitude, which may influence your future, plays an important role in your daily life.(要点1) To improve your attitude, you should be with the persons with a positive attitude and act with an exact goal.(要点2) In addition, it doesn't make sense to compare yourself with others.(要点3) Lastly, using polite words, like “please” and “thank you”， often and learning to be grateful for whatever you have will contribute to improving your attitude.(要点4)

A garden that's just right for you
Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum (总和) of its parts? __1__. But it doesn't happen by accident.It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.
●__2__
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of colour. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). __3__.However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.
●Recall (回忆) your childhood memories
Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma's rose garden and Dad's vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that's not what's important. __4__ — how being in those gardens made us feel. If you'd like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. __5__.Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.
A．Know why you garden
B．Find a good place for your own garden
C．It's our experience of the garden that matters
D．It's delightful to see so many beautiful flowers
E．Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants
F．You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too
G．For each of those gardens, write down the strongest memory you have

2．选A 由该空所在位置可知这是一个小标题。由其后内容“有些人可能认为花园……，有些人关心……然而，还有很多其他原因……”可知本段的主题应该是A项“知道你为什么要做园艺工作”。
3．选E 由本段中的Some ... Others ...可锁定E项中的Still others。
4．选C 空格前说“但那一点不重要”，由此可推测空格处会指出什么才是重要的，故选C项“我们做园艺工作的体验才是重要的”。
5．选G 空格前说“花一些时间回忆你小时候的花园”，空格后说“然后走出去，制订计划，把你孩提时代的记忆变成你成年后的花园”。根据此语境可知答案为G项“为每一个那样的花园写下你最深刻的回忆”。

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
The Great Wall was listed as a World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987.Just like a dragon, it winds up and down across deserts, grasslands and mountains, __1__ (run) approximately 21,196 kilometres from east to west.
The __2__ (construct) of the Great Wall was not that easy, __3__ drew heavily on the local resources for building materials.The walls were __4__ (original) built in the Spring & Autumn Period and the Warring State Period.Emperor Qin Shi Huang succeeded in his effort to have them joined together.Since then, the Great Wall __5__ (serve) as a monument of the Chinese nation throughout history.
With __6__ history of about 2,700 years, some parts of the Great Wall are now __7__ ruins or have disappeared.However, the Great Wall of China is still one of the most appealing __8__ (attraction) all around the world owing to its historical significance.The best-known part of the Great Wall of China, Badaling, __9__ (locate) 43 miles northwest of Beijing, attracts thousands of national and foreign tourists every day.
Today, the Great Wall __10__ (recognize) as one of the most impressive architectural achievements in history.
语篇解读：本文主要对中国历史文化古迹——长城进行了介绍。
1．running 考查非谓语动词。run和句子谓语winds之间没有连词，故用非谓语动词形式，且和句子主语it之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词形式。
2．construction 考查名词。根据The和介词of可知，此处用名词，作句子的主语。
3．which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处用which引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语，从句修饰先行词construction。
4．originally 考查副词。此处用副词originally修饰动词built，在句子中作状语。
5．has served 考查动词时态。根据“Since then”可知，此处用现在完成时，表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响。
6．a 考查冠词。history作“发展史”讲时可作可数名词，也可作不可数名词，又因此处表泛指，为单数概念，故用不定冠词a。
7．in 考查介词。in ruins意为“破败不堪”，为固定短语，符合语境，故用介词in。
8．attractions 考查名词复数。根据语境可知，attraction在此处为“吸引人之物”之意，为可数名词，又因空前有one of，故此处用attractions。
9．located 考查非谓语动词。locate和句子谓语attracts之间没有连词，故用非谓语动词，且和句子主语Badaling之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。
10．is recognized 考查动词的时态和语态。recognize和句子主语the Great Wall之间为被动关系，又因句子时间状语为Today，故用一般现在时的被动语态。
Ⅵ.完形填空

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit (山顶) of Pacaya for a close-up view.There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travellers a chance to see mother nature at her most powerful.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colourful houses along its old streets that are turned into artworks during its Holy Week Festival.No matter when you come to Antigua, you won't miss the Pacaya-tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2,560 metres high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements.As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above.Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit: the McKenney Cone (火山锥)．Just as though you are going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava and the darkening sky.On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting.The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air.There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone.As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano.For you, too, it is time to get down.
语篇解读：红色的熔岩从火山口喷薄而出冲向百米高空，与黑色的天幕相映生辉，来自大自然的力量令游客叹为观止，流连忘返。
1．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To attract tourists to Pacaya.

C．To introduce guided tours to Pacaya.
D．To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.
解析：选A 写作意图题。B项描述Pacaya之美；C项介绍去Pacaya的旅行；D项解释在Pacaya大自然的力量。这三项本文都是点到为止，其最终目的是想吸引游客去Pacaya。
2．Antigua is an island ________.
A．where people can enjoy cultural festival
B．where the daring Pacaya tour starts
C．that gives a close-up view of Pacaya
D．that is famous for its tour companies
解析：选B 细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“No matter when you come to Antigua, you won't miss the Pacaya-tour companies.”可知，这里是冒险之游的起点。
3．Climbing to the McKenney Cone, people will ________.
A．walk directly to the active summit
B．hear the continuous loud noise from above
C．make greater efforts than to other summits
D．see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions
解析：选D 细节理解题。由第三段第三句“Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit”可知D项正确。

二、单元话题综合练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
For years I wanted a garden.I'd spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.But then we had Matthew, and Marvin, and the twins Alisa and Alan, and then Helen.I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was not enough.Neither was time.Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I'd have to say, “Do you see a money tree outside? Money_doesn't_grow_on_trees,_you know.”
Finally, all the children got through high school and college and were off on their own.I started thinking again about a garden.Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen.Suddenly, I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard.There were things blowing around on it. Then I put my glasses on — and I couldn't believe what I saw.
There was a money tree in my yard!
I went outside to look.It was true! There were dollar bills (账单), one hundred of them, hanging all over that tree.There was also a note among them, “Thank you for your time, Mom.We love you！”
Later, my children bought me tools, ornaments, a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.A new page started in my life.
That was three years ago.My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted.When I go out and take care of my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did.It feels like they're right there with me.Now every year when winter comes, I look out of my window and think of the flowers I'll see next spring in my little garden.I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes — every time.
I'm still not sure that money grows on trees.But I know love does!
语篇解读：多年以来，“我”一直想拥有自己的花园，但由于孩子多，经济比较困难，一直没有如愿，后来孩子们都长大了，有了自己的工作或家庭，经济条件逐渐变好，孩子们送给了“我”一个美丽的花园。

Ⅲ.概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Every year, especially during the spring and early summer, the lives of many young animals are disrupted.People may attempt to “save” these animals, and more often than not, the mother is nearby.
Young rabbits found at a nest site do not need to be rescued.The mother rabbit will not return as long as a person is standing near the nest site.If you've kicked to open a nest, just replace the top of the nest, and leave.The mother will return and care for the young.Cottontail rabbits leave their young for hours while eating, but they do return to nurse the young, until the young are old enough to survive on their own.Young rabbits are ready to leave the nest at three to four weeks of age when their eyes are open and their bodies are furry.
Young birds are sometimes found on the ground near a nest.When this happens, the best thing to do is to put the bird carefully back into the nest.Don't worry about getting your scent on the bird; it will not affect the mother's care.If you can't reach the nest, leave the bird on the ground.Every bird alive today has spent a few precarious days on the ground while learning to fly.The best thing you can do during this time of year to protect young wildlife is to keep cats indoors.
When young raccoons are found out alone, it is likely that they are merely exploring and their mother is nearby.They are probably old enough to be fully capable of climbing back up a tree to their den.If they were too young to climb, the mother would carry them back.
If you find a young fawn laying alone, leave it there.The mother comes back several times each day to nurse the fawn.If you've already picked the fawn up and brought it home, put it back.Even one or two days after removal from the wild, fawns have been successfully reunited with their mothers, by returning them to the place where they were found.
参考范文：
The passage introduces that many young animals are disrupted during the spring and early summer.(要点1)So the author tells us how to prevent them from being bothered，(要点2)including replacing the top of the nest, and leaving when opening the nest; putting the bird back into the nest when seeing a bird on the ground; leaving it there when finding a fawn laying alone.(要点3)

Life has become difficult in many villages, and some are disappearing.There are a number of reasons for this.Firstly, young people from villages usually want to live somewhere livelier and they often move to the towns and do not return.Secondly, people move to the cities to find work, as there are often very few jobs in the countryside.Sometimes villages remain because people from the cities have bought a second home in the village, where they come and stay at weekends.The price of homes goes up and people from the area cannot afford to buy a house there.Another problem is that it is becoming more and more difficult for farmers to make money from their farms.So they sell their land and find another job.

Ⅱ.依据题目要求写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
With global warming and melting ice, it isn't easy being a polar bear any more.Some studies have predicted that polar bears could die out by the end of the century.The good news is not all researchers think the bears are absolutely disappearing.Scientists at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) have published a new paper indicating that things might not be as bad for polar bears as some scientists expect.
To understand the reason for the researchers' cautious optimism, we must first understand the factors that are threatening the polar bears' existence.Polar bears consume a diet of mainly young seals.In order to hunt these seals，polar bears need to rest at the top of sea ice — the same ice that is increasingly melting for most of the year thanks to climate change.In another 50 years, experts expect that the Arctic will be too warm for sea ice to form for half of the year, leaving polar bears without a reliable food source and in serious danger of starvation.
As it turns out, alternative food sources for the polar bears aren't completely out of the question.For as long as biologists have tailed after the animals, they've seen polar bears eating animals found on land like caribou (驯鹿) and snow geese — as well as the snow geese's eggs.
Can polar bears actually survive off these alternative food sources for long periods of time？To figure this out，researchers calculated the nutrients that a caribou and snow geese diet would provide.They found that even adult male polar bears would be able to obtain more calories than they would burn in hunting these meals.Moreover，the food would provide the food necessary to avoid starvation during the summer months.
Unfortunately, not all polar bears have tended to seek food on land.That said, the researchers expect that necessity would push more polar bears to hunt on land to avoid starvation.They also expect that the bears could learn from their fellow bears how to hunt on land until the practice becomes second nature.
