18．（6分）Sam says， "I like June.June is a good month.I like it hot.Summer starts in June.Summer days are hot.The days in June are hot."
Pam says， "I like June.June is a good month.I like it cold.Winter starts in June.Winter days are cold.The days in June are cold."
Who is right？Are the days in June hot or cold？Sam is right.Pam is right.How can both Sam and Pam be right？Our earth orbits around the sun.That means the earth goes around the sun.
When it orbits，it tilts （ 倾斜）.For half of the earth's orbit，the North Pole （北极） points to the sun.For half of the earth's orbit，the South Pole points to the sun.
When the North Pole points to the sun，it is hotter in the north and the days are longer.In the south，it is colder and the days are shorter.When the South Pole points to the sun，it is hotter in the south and the days are longer.In the north，it is colder and the days are shorter.
Sam lives in the north.Summer starts in June for Sam.Pam lives in the south.Winter starts in June for Pam.But what about Cam？All of Cam's days are about the same length.They are not long.They are not short.All of Cam's days are about the same temperature.Why？Because Cam lives in the middle，near the equator （ 赤道）.

B.walks around
C.moves around
D.looks around
（2）When the North Pole points to the sun， 　 　 in Sam's living place.

19．（8分）Nature's warnings
When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong，watch out!A dangerous storm might be coming.Storms are frightening.Watch for flashes of lightning.Listen for thunder.If nature sends these warnings，don't wait for rain.Act right away to keep safe.
Safety Steps
At the first flash of lightning，quickly get inside a building or a car.Do not go into a shed for protection. It is not closed like a building，so it is not safe.
Even after you are indoors，be careful.It is not smart to go near doors and windows.They can blow in or break.A room with no windows is the safest place to be.Do not wash your hands during a storm.Do not use anything that runs on electricity，either.Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning.Even if you really want to play computer games，don't!It is better to be bored than to risk getting hurt.Try reading a book instead.Reading is more fun than playing computer games.
If you can't get to somewhere safe，stay out in the open.You may feel safe under a tree，but that is not a good place to be.Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees.Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them.Loud thunder can damage your hearing.
Lightning Strikes
Lightning does not strike people very often.It is not likely that you will ever see that happen.If you do，call 120.Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lighting.
If you follow these rules，you should stay safe during a storm.

（1）From Paragraph 1，we learn that 　 　.
A.storms are frightening and harmful
B.storms often come without warnings
C.people should wait and watch lightning
D.people should take action after the storm

B.Reading books is as dangerous as using electrical things in a storm.
C.We should not wash our hands when a storm comes.
D.If a person is hit by lightning，you should move him or her to a safe place immediately.

Who is right？Are the days in June hot or cold？Sam is right.Pam is right.How can both Sam and Pam be right？Our earth orbits around the sun.That means the earth goes around the sun.
When it orbits，it tilts （ 倾斜）.For half of the earth's orbit，the North Pole （北极） points to the sun.For half of the earth's orbit，the South Pole points to the sun.
When the North Pole points to the sun，it is hotter in the north and the days are longer.In the south，it is colder and the days are shorter.When the South Pole points to the sun，it is hotter in the south and the days are longer.In the north，it is colder and the days are shorter.
Sam lives in the north.Summer starts in June for Sam.Pam lives in the south.Winter starts in June for Pam.But what about Cam？All of Cam's days are about the same length.They are not long.They are not short.All of Cam's days are about the same temperature.Why？Because Cam lives in the middle，near the equator （ 赤道）.

【分析】本文主要通过描述三个不同地点的男孩喜欢不同的气候来解释地球运行的规律。
【解答】（1）词义猜测题。根据Our earth orbits around the sun.（我们的地球......太阳。）结合常识可知，地球绕着太阳转，即moves around。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据When the North Pole points to the sun，it is hotter in the north and the days are longer.（当北极指向太阳时，北方更热，白天更长。）以及Sam lives in the north.（山姆住在北方。）可知，当北极指向太阳时，山姆居住的地方天气炎热。故选A。

19．（8分）Nature's warnings
When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong，watch out!A dangerous storm might be coming.Storms are frightening.Watch for flashes of lightning.Listen for thunder.If nature sends these warnings，don't wait for rain.Act right away to keep safe.
Safety Steps
At the first flash of lightning，quickly get inside a building or a car.Do not go into a shed for protection. It is not closed like a building，so it is not safe.
Even after you are indoors，be careful.It is not smart to go near doors and windows.They can blow in or break.A room with no windows is the safest place to be.Do not wash your hands during a storm.Do not use anything that runs on electricity，either.Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning.Even if you really want to play computer games，don't!It is better to be bored than to risk getting hurt.Try reading a book instead.Reading is more fun than playing computer games.
If you can't get to somewhere safe，stay out in the open.You may feel safe under a tree，but that is not a good place to be.Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees.Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them.Loud thunder can damage your hearing.
Lightning Strikes
Lightning does not strike people very often.It is not likely that you will ever see that happen.If you do，call 120.Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lighting.
If you follow these rules，you should stay safe during a storm.

Without his mother to take care of him，he learnt what life was about.Without meat there was no life.Animals had to eat other animals to live.The law was：EAT OR BE EATEN.

（4）排序题。根据第二段And now，at a month old，when his eyes had been open for about a week，he began to eat meat himself.（现在，在一个月大的时候，当他的眼睛睁开了大约一周，他开始自己吃肉。）c排第一；第三段One﹣Eye，the cub's father，was killed in the fight over food.（幼崽的一只眼睛父亲在争夺食物的过程中被杀。）a是第二；根据第四段 One day the gray cub ran out to hunt for his own food.He met a weasel of his size.The rat—like animal ran at him and bit his throat .He was nearly dead when the she﹣wolf arrived just in time to kill and eat the weasel.（一天，这只灰色的幼崽跑出去寻找自己的食物。他遇到了一只和他一样大小的黄鼠狼。这只老鼠般的动物向他扑来，咬了他的喉咙。母狼及时赶到把他咬死了，杀死并吃掉了黄鼠狼。）可知b是第三，根据排除法，正确顺序是c﹣a﹣b﹣d﹣e。故选A。
（5）推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段叙述"The lynx was dead，but the she﹣wolf was badly hurt."（猞猁死了，但母狼受了重伤。）可知，母狼和这只灰狼为了食物，身负重伤，甚至冒着生命危险。由此可推断，母狼和狼崽的生活非常艰难。故选B。

A typhoon has two parts.One is called the "eye".In the eye，the wind does not move so fast.（3）　F　.This is where the strongest winds and hardest rain are.
（4）　B　In November 2013，Typhoon Haiyan killed around 6，000 people in Philippines.More people were badly hurt and some others were missing.（5）　A

22．（10分）In China，many public schools finish classes a few hours before the end of parents' workday.
So parents can't work full days or need others to help pick up their children.

【分析】本文介绍了动物们过冬的几种方式。
【解答】（1）考查动词。句意：在冬天，很多植物停止生长，还有一些会死亡。根据some plants die（一些植物会死掉）可知，在冬天许多植物不会再生长，一些会死掉。stop doing sth表示停止正在做的事，所以用grow的现在分词形式。故填growing。
（2）考查形容词。句意：在冬天，对于动物们来说寻找到食物是困难的。根据Snow and ice may cover the ground.（雪和冰可能覆盖着大地）可知，大地被冰雪覆盖，动物们很难找到食物。故填difficult。
（3）考查介词。句意：他们会去天气暖和的地方。with可以表示伴随，表示这些地方有暖和的天气。故填with。
（4）考查代词。句意：另外一个远离寒冷的好方法是睡觉。根据Migrating （迁徙）is a good way to avoid the cold.（迁徙是避开寒冷的一个好方法）可知，此处是另外一个方法。故填another。
（5）考查副词。句意：他们从不吃东西。根据anything（任何东西）可知，本句是一个否定意义的句子；再由They get energy from their fat.（他们从脂肪中获取能量）可知，他们在冬天从不吃东西，故填never。
（6）考查名词。句意：他们这样做直到他们的食物回来。根据They never eat anything.They get energy from their fat.（他们不吃任何东西。他们从脂肪中获取能量）可知，此处和食物有关，food为不可数名词，故填food。
（7）考查代词。句意：他们依靠在夏天和秋天储存的食物生活。此处为宾语从句引导词，并且在宾语从句中作save（储存）的宾语，故填what。
（8）考查动词。句意：有时候，大自然会帮助他们。根据后文，是举了两个大自然提供帮助的例子。本句主语是nature（大自然）为第三人称不可数名词，全文用的是一般现在时态。故填helps。
（9）考查名词。句意：另一些动物改变颜色。根据The article fox is brown in summer but his coat turns white in winter.（狐狸在夏天是棕色的，但是他的毛在冬天变成了白色）可知，这是颜色的改变，由Other animals （另外的动物）可知，此处需要颜色的复数，故填colors/colours。
（10）考查名词。句意：人们也要面对这个问题。face（面对）宾语一般是problem（问题）；同时，后文也给出了一个问题：How do you beat the winter？（你是如何战胜冬天呢？），所以此处填problem，因为前有a（一个），所以名词用单数。故填problem。
