第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑
A
One afternoon, my husband took our two boys shopping. I knew why I was not invited because Mother’s Day was coming. The outing didn’t last long but everyone came home smiling. My husband said he was proud of their choice.
Mother’s Day came and the boys couldn’t wait to give me my gift. Laughing from ear and ear, they brought the gift into my room. My curiosity increased as the wrapped gift gave no clues to its content. At their request, I opened the gift they were excited about. There it was: a can of bug spray(杀虫剂). Bug spray? Not yet understanding the meaning, I said the usual “Wow” and “thank you”. Since o found this surprise funny, it was easy to laugh and cheer along with my children. It wasn’t until my youngest said, “so you can kill the spiders yourself”, that I understood this was a well- thought – out gift.
My true phobia has always been spiders. I can handle all the things other in our day- to-day lives- just not spiders. We’d recently had a spider incident in my bedroom. The spider was so huge that I couldn’t get close enough to hit it with anything. My husband, working abroad, was seldom at home, so the children usually rescued me from all spiders. But that evening they won’t go near it either because its size. This incident ended with me sleeping in the living room for a week (even the spider dead and gone).
I applaud my husband for allowing our children to buy what they want, instead of what he suggested. I think the gift was one of my most memorable parental successes. The success was not that they wanted to buy me a gift. It was that my children taught me the true meaning of the gift- giving from the heart.

A. prepared by her husband B.chosen by her children
C. actually useless to her D. bought just on Mother’s Day
57. The moment the author opened her Mother’s Day gift, she felt___
A. surprised and puzzled B. comfortable and satisfied
C. honored and moved D. anxious and worried

Dear Highlights
Ask a question!
E- mail it to Letters @ Highlights.com.
Gift Giving
I’m going to China, and everyone in my class is asking me to buy them something. What should I do?
Reply from the Highlights Editors
Your classmates are probably just excited about your trip. Most likely they don’t expect you to buy gifts for everyone. Sending a few postcards to the entire class during your trip would be a wonderful way to share your experiences. The pictures on the cards and your words of description will be the best gift of all.
Dog Begging
My dog always begs for food at the dinner table. I really want to feed him, but my mom says I can’t. I’m afraid he won’t like me anymore. What should I do?
Reply from the Highlights Editors
Your dog loves you for many more reasons than just for what you feed him. You can show him that you care about him by playing with him, by petting him and speaking kindly to him, and by making sure he has fresh water. It might be best if your dog is not near the dinner table while you are eating. You could teach him to stay in another room.
Being Bilingual (会说双语的)
My aunt insists that we speak our language (Tagalog) at home and English outside the house. Do you think she is right?
Reply from the Highlights Editors
It is a great gift to have someone in your family who is willing to take the time to teach you another language. It’s good way to keep family traditions alive, and it helps to develop your language skills. Your ability to use both English and Tagalog will help you learn a third and fourth language later in life. So it sounds like a great idea!

Next Halloween, a small vegetable that looks like a pumpkin may appear in a garden near you. The vegetable is a type of pepper that is called “Lil’ Pumpkin.” It’s very special because it has orange, pumpkin-like fruit.
You might think that all vegetables are grown to provide food to eat. But some vegetables are grown mainly for the lively color and holiday spirit that they bring to gardens. These are called “ornamentals (观赏性植物).” Just like lights decorate a Christmas tree, they decorate a garden.
The peppers were bred (培育) by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists John Stommel and Robert Griesbach. Another pepper the scientists developed is called “Pepper Jack.” Because Pepper Jack has orange and black cone-shaped (锥形的) fruit, it might remind you of the popular Halloween treat “candy corn.”
Stommel says that vegetable crops such as peppers were first widely grown in Europe in the 15th century. At that time, people liked these crops more because they looked pretty than because they provided food.
Back then, when a gardener grew plants for decoration and plants for food, the garden was called a “potager.” An example of this is the large gardens on the lawns (草坪) of castles and very large homes where kings and queens lived. One of those large royal homes was the French king’s palace at Versailles during the 1600s.The palace is still there today, and people from all over the world still go there to visit and see the gardens.
Today, Stommel says using vegetables as decorations in gardens has become popular again.
So you might be wondering, if these peppers are for decoration, can people eat them? Yes, but the fruit fromboth of these peppers has a sharp taste (kind of like onions).
These peppers are scheduled to become available in mid-2011.These pretty peppers can be grown in containers and also in garden beds. They grow best with plenty of light and warm temperatures, Stommel says.
63．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Different kinds of peppers. B．Peppers with the Halloween spirit.
C．The history of peppers. D．Food for the Halloween festival.
64．What do we know about “Lil’ Pumpkin” and “Pepper Jack?”
A．They are used to decorate Christmas trees.
B．Their fruits have different shapes.
C．They are grown mainly to provide food to eat.
D．Their fruits are the same color.
65．The underlined word “they ”in Paragraph 2 refers to “_____”.
A．these lights B．these holidays C．these vegetables D．these scientists
66．According to the passage, a potager was .
A．the place where kings and queens lived
B．the garden in the French king’s palace
C．a garden with plants for decoration and for food
D．a place providing vegetables for the royal homes

Some 150 million years ago, the climate of Yellowstone was mild all year. The local wildlife included dinosaurs and dozens of others. Much has changed since then. The dinosaurs are fossils now. Big mammals have replaced big dinosaurs. Hotels welcome millions of visitors.
How did Yellowstone gradually change from a prehistoric land of dinosaurs into a natural park? Whose footsteps have fallen on its unique land? Read on to find out.
Paleo- Indians were prehistoric peoples who lived in North America thousands of years ago. In the Yellowstone area, Paleo- Indians left behind some artifacts(手工艺品)。 Their tools and rock pictures show that they were hunters.
Before European settlers arrived, four Native American groups were living off Yellowstone land: the Crow, Shoshone, Bannock, and Sheepeaters. Today, rangers(护林员) or visitors sometimes find one of these Native Americans’ temporary shelters.
Sacagawea, the famous Shoshone guide, helped explorers Lewis and Clark cross her people’s land. In 1806, part of their expedition explored the Yellowstone River. For years, their reports on the area were considered tall tales—too strange to believe.
The first European to set foot in Yellowstone were explorers and hunters. They called themselves mountain men. In the 1800s, mountain men would have laughed at the idea of a park. The wildness(荒地) seemed endless. Hunting wildlife was vital to survival.
As wildlife quickly disappeared, a few people began to take notice. In 1870, a group of explorers went into Yellowstone. The mountain men, they found, had not exaggerated(夸大) these wonders. Nothing like Yellowstone existed anywhere else on the earth. The urge to protect this treasure soon became a national concern.
In the late 1800s, however, during the International Revolution, miners, foresters, hunters and farmers moved in. some species died out.
In 1872, Congress(美国国会) voted to establish Yellowstone National Park, and President Ulysses S. Grant singed a bill making it official. Yellowstone opened its gates to its first visitors and became a huge success. Though fishing and some hunting were allowed, the wildlife policy was mostly “look, don’t kill.”
67. What do we know about Yellowstone 150 million years ago?
A. the weather there was neither too hot nor too cold
B. dinosaurs were seldom seen there
C. wildlife habitats there were destroyed
D.many people lived there
68. We can learn from the passage that Paleo- Indians ____
A. were not good at hunting B. came to Yellowstone form South America
C. created some works of art D. first arrived at Yellowstone several centuries ago
69. In the late 1800s, ________
A. Lewis and Clark explored the Yellowstone River
B. the Industrial Revolution was becoming a threat to Yellowstone
C. few people in America considered Yellowstone a treasure
D. mountain men decided to build Yellowstone into a national park
70. It can be inferred from the passage that_____
A. Sacagawea was a famous explorer from Europe
B. fishing was forbidden in Yellowstone in the late 1800s
C. there weren’t many visitors when Yellowstone National Park was establish
D. Lewis and Clark’s reports on Yellowstone received little attention when first published

Best friend birthday gift ideas
When your best friend’s birthday is coming up, you obviously want to get them the coolest, most unforgettable gift that you can find. So, can you find them a gift that is memorable and yet practical enough to be used daily?Here are a few tips on how to find just the right best friend birthday gift.
71 The gift you choose should tell a story－even if it is one that only the two of you would know and understand. Best friends have a kind of 6th sense with each other, through which they seem to be able to almost read each other’s thoughts. Find a gift that tells that story, in a small way, by relating to things you have done together and the special times you have had.
Think about their interests and hobbies. 72 What are their hobbies and interests? Do they like sports, puzzles, crime stories, skiing, country music, computers, etc.? Find a gift that reflects their interests.
73 You will want to strike the right balance between a gift that is popular but also unique to them. Go online or flip through （翻阅）your newspaper and find 5-10 bestselling products. 74
Do not let them think you are being cheap. You will want to find a gift that makes it seem like you spent a lot, even if you didn’t . 75 For example, instead of buying 3-4 so-so gifts, go for one nicer gift that gives the impression of being of high quality.
A. Check out what is hot
B. Stay within your budget
C. Focus on what you love to do together
D. Then, use what you find as ideas for what to buy
E. One way to do this is to go for quality over quantity
F. You needn’t spend too much to impress your friends
G. The gift you choose should be something that is close to his or her heart

Last week, my mother and I went to shoe shop to buy a pair of new shoes for me. When we got here, I noticed a foreign lady talk to a salesgirl. But the salesgirl didn’t understand that the foreigner was saying. They looked very worrying. So I decided to help them. I went up to the foreign lady and talked to her by English. I learned that the lady came form Australia and wanted to buy a pair of running shoe. I told this to the salesgirl. The lady was very much glad when she took her shoes. All of them expressed their thanks to me. And I fell happy that I could help others.

Dear Peter,
I’m so glad to receive your email. I’m quite grateful to you for your kindness. On the whole, my English has improved a lot. But there still exists some trouble preventing me to learn it well.
At present, I devote almost two hours every day to studying English, which is helpful to summarize what I have learnt. In terms of vocabulary, I’m happy to tell you that I have mastered 3000 words and phrases that I shall have. However, I meet with some difficulties in reading, writing and listening, which annoy me a lot.
In this case, I’m badly in need of your help. I hope that you can provide me with some original reading materials on English as well as a few tapes to train my skills.
Thank you any way!
Yours sincerely
