12、In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks,  Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All  that  sunlight  was  fantastic  for  Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off,  so she didn't care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Morn was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.
Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Morn rescued me. I hadn't turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday.  At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹)heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.

【长难句分析】In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.在1950 年,我们搬回了Coeur d’Alene,但是我们又得到了一次去阿拉斯加冒险的机会,这次是八年后Leonhard邀请我们去拜访Idaho参加一个阿拉斯加的早先邻居的一个聚会。该句为并列复合句。由but连接。其中前句为简单句,后句为复合句,when引导时间状语从句,one more“再一个,又一个”,by paying a visit to...作方式状语。

12、    Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing.Their designers say with these robots,rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
    This robot looking like a helicopter,is called the detector-bot.It’s about 4 meters long,and it took about 4 years to develop the model.Its main functions (作用) are to collect information from the air,and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake.
    This robot has a high definition 360 degrees panoramic (全景) camera.It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
    Dr.Qi Juntong,Chinese Academy of Science,said,“The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn’t need a distant control.We just set the destination (目的地) information on it,and then it takes off,and lands by itself.It flies as high as 3,000 meters,and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.”
    This robot has a different function—it can change as the environment changes.Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go.
    As well as a detector (探测器) that finds victims and detects poisonous gas,a camera is placed in the 40 centimeters long robot,which can work in the dark.
    Another use for the rescuers is the supply bot.With its 10-meter-long pipe,people who are trapped in the ruins,will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
    Experts have said that the robots will enter production,and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.

B.a detector
C.a rescuer
D.a supply
4.The text is mainly about__________.
A.what the robot looks like
B.an introduction to the robot
C.how the robot is made
D.information about earthquakes
13、    The scientific study of earthquakes is comparatively new. Until the 18th century, few factual descriptions of earthquakes were recorded, and the natural causes of earthquakes were not well understood.
    The earliest earthquake for which we have descriptive information occurred in China in 1177 BC. The Chinese earthquake catalog (目录) describes several dozen large earthquakes in China during the next few thousand years. Earthquakes in Europe were mentioned as early as 580 BC, but the earliest for which we have some descriptive information occurred in the mid-16th century. The earliest known earthquakes in the Americas were in Mexico in the late 14th century and in Peru in 1471, but descriptions of the effects were not well recorded. By the 17th century, descriptions of the effects of earthquakes were being published around the world.
    The most widely felt earthquakes in the recorded history of North America were a series that occurred in 1811-1812 near New Madrid, Missouri. A great earthquake, whose magnitude is reported to have been about 8, occurred on the morning of December 16, 1811. Another great earthquake occurred on January 23, 1812, and a third, the strongest yet, on February 7, 1812. Aftershocks (余震) were nearly continuous between these great earthquakes and continued for months afterwards. These earthquakes were felt by people as far away as Boston and Denver. Because the population in these regions was small, the destruction of human life and property was slight.
    The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was one of the most destructive in the recorded history of North America——the earthquake and the fire that followed killed nearly 700 people and left the city in ruins.
1. When did published descriptions of the effects of earthquakes become popular in the world?
A. In the 1300s.
B. In the 1400s.
C. In the 1500s.
D. In the 1600s.
2. What do we know about the earthquakes in 1811-1812 in North America?
A. They killed a large number of people.
B. They occurred in San Francisco.
C. They could be felt very far away.
D. They almost destroyed entire cities.
3. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Few earthquakes were scientifically studied before the 18th century.
B. Earthquakes can be avoided with the development of technology.
C. Most of the early earthquakes caused little damage.
D. People haven't found the causes of earthquakes so far.
4. What's the best title for this passage?
A. The scientific study of earthquakes
B. Earthquakes in history
C. The effects of earthquakes on humans
D. Why earthquakes occur
14、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。
    Strange things appeared before the Tangshan earthquake happened. For three days the water in the village wells ①__________(rise) and fell. The well walls had deep cracks in them. A smelly gas came out of the cracks. Some animals including fish, ②__________(mouse) behaved strangely. Other strange things also happened in the city,③__________people thought little of these events and they slept as usual.
  ④__________(final) a terrible earthquake hit the city of Tangshan on July 28, 1976, in which more than 240,000 people died and many⑤__________(injure). Many houses fell down and sand filled the wells instead of water. People were greatly shocked.

    However, the people of Tangshan didn’t lose hope because 150,000 soldiers were sent to help the rescue workers. The soldiers tried their best to dig out those ⑨__________were trapped.

     An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids—a shoe that grows with the child. Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows. He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long.
    “It grows in three places: the front; it can also grow on the side with Velcro; and on the back with our buckle. It can last up to five years. The bottom is compressed(压缩的) rubber like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather.” The shoe comes in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.
    Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya....and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me. And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were. They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out. And I just remember thinking, “Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet?”
    However, Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality. “I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that.” Finally, in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. In the office of Because International, Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise. “I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done. So, those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years.”
1.Which of the following is the characteristic of the newly invented shoes?
A.They are more expensive.
B.They are not so comfortable.
C.They can grow with a child.
D.They come in different sizes.
2.Who is this kind of newly invented shoes intended for?
A.All the teenagers.
B.Children aged 4 to 14.
C.Middle-aged women in Africa.
D.Senior citizens with low income.
3.Why does Kenton Lee keep a pair of his own shoes in the office?
A.To remind him of his promise.
B.To copy the design of them.
C.To get a change conveniently.
D.To use them as an example.
13、Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington D. C.
    And on Tuesday , August 23 rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And she’s not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter."
   "It's very different from their normal call," said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. "The lemurs (monkey-like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual."
    But you can't see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you can — if you're an animal. "Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing," said Brandie Smith. "That's part of their special abilities. They're more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive."
    Primates weren't the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound. And a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes ( a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.
    So what kind of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of waves — a weak "P" wave and then a much stronger "S" wave. The "P" stands for "primary". And the "S" stands for "secondary". She thinks the "P" wave might be what sets the animals off.
    Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said the zoo's giant pandas didn't jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. "I'm not surprised at all," Smith said.
1.Why did Mandara act strangely one day?
A.Because it sensed something unusual would happen.
B.Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.
C.Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud call.
D.Because an earthquake had happened.
2.According to Brandie Smith,              .
A.many animals’ hearing is sharp
B.earthquakes produce two types of waves
C.primates usually gather together before a quake
D.humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake
3.Which animal seems unable to sense a quake?
A.A giant panda.
B.A flamingo.
C.A lemur.
D.A lizard.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.How animals survive a quake
B.How animals differ from humans
C.How animals behave before a quake
D.How animals protect their young in a quake

答案：
Dear Sir or Madam,
    I’m Li Hua, aged 16, a middle school student from China. I happened to know from the Internet that you are holding a UK Cultural Study Tour this winter holiday. It is aimed at students from all over the world, and I’d love to participate in it.
As a teenager, I’m interested in making friends with kids of my age. Your camp will provide a good chance for me to know a lot not only about the UK but also other countries. Meanwhile, I can introduce China to other students. What’s more, I can improve my English by communicating with students from other countries.
    I hope that I will be lucky enough to be admitted. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
