1 . I had a summer camp with my classmates last year.

Early in the morning we met at the bus station. After saying goodbye to our parents, we got on the buses. It took us more than two hours to arrive at the campground (营地).

We got off the buses happily. Laughing and shouting. We jumped and ran all over the place. It was the first time for us to be away from the parents. Some of us started to feel homesick (想家).

However, when the night party and dances began, the homesickness was gone.

The next day, everybody went to the boating class hoping to be the first. At first, my friends and I worked hard, but the boat wouldn’t listen to us and kept going round and round. Then the teacher taught us how to work together. After many tries, we did much better. Swimming class was my favorite. It was about the hottest time of a day and the best time to stay in the cool water. The swimming teacher was a funny man, and during the class he often made us laugh happily. During the week I learned a lot of new things and made many new friends. I also learned how to take care of myself.

2 . Last summer holiday, Aunt Emily took us to a safari park (野生动物园), not far from Liverpool.

I was very happy to go as I had never been to a safari park before. It’s a very interesting park, full of wild animals running freely.

When we got there, we bought our tickets and drove into the park. We were very excited at the thought of going to see the lions. But to get to the lions’ place we had to go through the monkeys’ land first. And that was an unforgettable experience because they climbed all over the car, ate apples and bananas, and threw all kinds of things at us. They seemed very unfriendly.

Anyway, we went on our way to the lions’ place where we had to lock ourselves in the car as we knew lions could be dangerous. A lion came up very close to us. Then it was on the bonnet (车盖). It looked calm but we felt terrified. Aunt Emily, who isn’t very brave, started to call for help. The kids started crying. Only my brother, George, stayed cool. I sounded the horn (喇叭) but nobody heard us.

In the end a guard arrived in his car, and the lion just got off our car and started smelling the guard’s hand as if nothing was the matter.

3 . A brown leather cap, worn by pioneer pilot Amelia Earhart during her record-breaking flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1928, had sold for $825,000 online, according to the Heritage Auctions (拍卖) website. The leather cap was expected to sell at around $80,000, but on Saturday, a person purchased it at about ten times the amount.

Anthony Twiggs, a retired photographer in Minnesota, put the helmet up for auction after experts confirmed its authenticity, according to The New York Times. Twiggs had received the cap 20 years ago from his mother, Ellie Brookhart, who claimed she got from a friend in 1929 following the first Women’s National Air Derby, an all-female race, in which Amelia finished third.

When the pilot was talking with reporters after the race, Ellie Brookhart and her friend were among the greeting crowd. The friend spotted the cap on the ground and presented the leather helmet—with the name “A. Earhart” printed on the inside—to Twiggs’ mother in an attempt to impress her. “My mother decided to keep it for Amelia,” Twiggs tells The New York Times. But Amelia was too busy with reporters then and when his mother tried to give it back to her a bit later, she had already left.

For the next 90 years, the cap was kept in a closet in Brookhart’s home, where she would bring it out occasionally over the years to show her four children. After his mother’s death, Twiggs tried to interest museums and collectors in acquiring it. However, he hit a wall. No one believed the story.

Now 67, Twiggs sent photos to John Robinson of Resolution Photomatching to verify (核实) the flying cap’s authenticity. After comparing images of Earhart wearing the hat with the current photos of the artifact, Robinson gave him a positive answer.

1. What turned out to be unexpected about the auction?

A．The style of the cap.	B．The owner of the cap.
C．The buyer of the item.	D．The final price of the item.

2. What can be known about Ellie Brookhart?

A．She had no intention to keep the cap at first.	B．She was too busy to return the cap to Amelia.
C．She interviewed Amelia Earhart in 1929.	D．She was interested in collecting caps.

3. What were museums and collectors’ attitude when asked to acquire the cap?

A．Interested.

B．Doubtful.

C．Unclear.

D．Favorable.

4. What type of writing is the text?

A．A book review.

B．A history report.

C．A news story.

D．An auction advertisement.

4 . 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。

Jen and her brother, Rick, live on the west coast of Australia; swimming and surfing have become a routine for them. They see all kinds of fish, such as lovely dolphins, huge whales and even fierce sharks.

Last weekend, Jen was on beach, standing on the hot sand. Enormous waves crashed along mile after mile of beautiful sand. Rick was happy because he had a new surfboard Rick’s favorite sport is surfing.

“I’m going to look at the fish underwater,” Jen waved to Rick, putting her blue rubber fins on her feet. Then she put the yellow mask and snorkel on her face.

The water was warm. Jen took a big breath and dived down and down. She could see fish and plants through her mask and the fish swam all around her. Jen observed or touched the tall or small plants growing on the rocks. Some were soft and some rough. Fish live in the plants and rocks.

Jen was swimming past a large rock when she saw a blue dolphin keep still.

Trapped in a net around the rock, the dolphin wasn’t able to swim up to get air. Moving its fins painfully, the poor blue dolphin was dying slowly.

Immediately, Jen pulled the net from the rocks and then freed the dolphin. It moved its fins quickly and swam up. It took a breath of air. The blue dolphin looked down at Jen gratefully, swimming away.

On the way home, she told her brother about her adventure with the blue dolphin with great interest.

The following day it was still hot, and more people swam in the sea, playing and laughing. The hot sun shone, and the water was silver and blue.

Some lifeguards watched the swimmers closely as they stared at the sea in the distance. Suddenly, one shouted loudly, “Shark! Quick!” Hungry, a shark was swimming quickly towards the swimming people. Everybody was frightened and began to swim towards the beach.

6 . 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。

A couple have been living together for 30 years. On the 30th anniversary of    1    (they) marriage, the wife has baked the bun(圆面包)as usual. She baked it every morning,    2    was a tradition. During the breakfast, she cut it across, buttered both    3    (side) and as usual gave the top to the husband, but her hand stopped halfway.

She thought, "On the day of our 30th anniversary, I want to eat this rosy part of the bun. I    4    (dream) about this for 30 years. Finally, I was a good wife for 30 years and raised good sons for him. I put so much effort and health for the well-being of our family." So she made    5    decision and gave the bottom of the bun to her husband, but her hands trembled-    6    (break) the 30-year-old tradition!

Her husband took the bun so    7    (excite) and said to her, "What a wonderful gift you gave me today, my dear! It has been 30 years. I did not eat my favourite-the bottom part of the bun, because I thought that it rightfully    8    (belong) to you."

It's not diamonds and flowers that can give us happiness in daily life,    9    the little things-and taking these small simple steps over time will produce    10    (big) and happier results.
