It was Monday. Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.

Considering that there was no better way. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.”Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently:“Take this to the butcher(*person whose job is selling meat). and he's going to give you your lunch today.”

Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.

At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.

The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers (*people who buy sth. from a  shop).

But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself,“This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”

Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!

1. Mrs. Smith treated her little dog quite_________.

A. cruelly    B. fairly    C. kindly    D. friendly

2. The butcher did not give any meat to the dog __________.

A. before he felt sure that the words were really written by Mrs. Smith

B. when he found that the words on the paper were not clear

C. because he had sold out all the meat in his shop

D. until he was paid enough by Mrs. Smith

3. From its experience, the dog found that ________.

A. only the paper with Mrs. Smith's  words in it could bring it meat

B. the butcher would give the meat to it whenever he saw it

C. Mrs. Smith would pay for the meat it got from the butcher

D. a piece of paper could bring it half a pound of meat

B

Our summer vacation begins on July 15th and lasts nearly two months. Considering that my brain needs rest after a period of hard work, I, together with my family, went to our countryside, a very small farmhouse in which my grandparents used to live, to spend the summer. Obviously, life in the country is very different from that in the city.

Early in the morning I took a walk along the field side. The air was fresh and pure. With a dog following, sometimes I ran a race in the meadows covered with tall grass. Sometimes I climbed up the hill to see the sun slowly yet steadily rise from the eastern horizon. The birds also sang restlessly among the bushes. In order to appreciate the quietness of the country, I gave myself entirely to nature, with a light heart and a happy mind.

Sometimes in the afternoon I, together with my cousins, took a rod and went to the river to fish. It made the family happy when they saw me returning with a basketful of large fresh fish. When night came, I would sit at the door and tell the most wonderful and interesting stories to my cousins, who listened to the tale of wonder with open eyes and mouth.

I wish I could enjoy such calm, pure and beautiful rural life forever.

4. Why did the family live in their country home during the summer?

A. Because they didn’t like city life. 

B. Because they could breathe fresh air.

C. Because the boy needed to relax after a period of hard work.

D. Because they had something to do there.

5. How did the author enjoy himself while he stayed in the country?

A. He sat in the open air all day long.      B. He got himself to nature entirely. 

C.He listened to the songs sung by the birds.   D. He dreamed a lot for his future life.

6. He once made the family members happy by ______.

A. singing popular songs       B. helping others with their housework

C. telling stories        D. returning with plenty of fish

7. What does the word “meadow” in the second paragraph probably mean?

A. playground    B. sports field    C. grassland    D. grass cutter

C

Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.

There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you'll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas that they live.

When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode (方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.

There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colours to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem (双人自行车), now is your chance, because they have those too.

A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.

8. Driving in a car on Gold Coast is not suggested because ________.

A. you will break the traffic rules    B. you can't drive into some parks

The English language is full of phrases about the weather.Some of these phrases are easy to understand, but others are not really about the weather at all. If you say you“hit rough weather”， you may not be struck by a real storm, but you do experience difficulties or problems. If you don’t know what such__phrases mean, they might leave you “in a fog(雾)”！

In English, you can “shoot the breeze”， or have an informal chat. But things can also be a breeze.If you take an exam and find it very easy，you’d tell your friends：“It was a breeze！”The wind can also bring information. You can “get wind of” a piece of news, and if someone “knows which way the wind blows”，they have a good idea about how things will work out.But don’t “throw caution(警惕)to the wind”—that means taking a great risk!

Clouds sometimes bring rain, and in English they often represent problems or difficulties. If someone “sees a cloud on the horizon(地平线)”，there may be problems ahead. And if someone is “under a cloud”， then people think the person might have done something wrong. But clouds are not always bad; in fact, people say that “every cloud has a silver lining”. This means that there is a good side to every situation, no matter how bad it may seem. You may even end up “on cloud nine”， which means you are very happy! But some people have their “heads in the clouds”， not paying attention to reality.

No one likes to be stuck in the rain or storm, so it’s no surprise that phrases about them are generally negative. When someone says“it never rains but it pours”， they are complaining(抱怨) that when things go wrong, they go very wrong. People who talk about“weathering a storm”just want to get through a difficult period or situation.

12. What does the underlined part “such phrases” in the first paragraph refer to?

A. The old phrases about the weather.   B. The funny phrases about the weather.

C. The simple phrases about the weather.   D. The confusing phrases about the weather.

13. It may be dangerous when you________.

A. know which way the wind blows    B. find that something is a breeze

C. get wind of a piece of news     D. throw caution to the wind

14. If you look at something in a positive way, you may say________.

A. you are under a cloud      B. your head is in the clouds

C. every cloud has a silver lining    D. you see a cloud on the horizon

15. Phrases like “it never rains but it pours” and “weathering a storm” are related to something________.

A. changeable    B. unfavorable    C. acceptable    D. Unbelievable

Dear__aunt，

In the past few years，great changes have taken place in our hometown，where many tall buildings as well as new factories，schools and hospitals have been built. As the streets have been widened，it is very convenient for the traffic.

In the centre of the street, there is a beautiful park，and the flowers and trees by the roadside make our hometown more beautiful. Besides，many families have got cars of their own，and their life here has become rich and colourful. And it is now easier to keep in touch with friends all over the world by e­mail.

I__am__sure__you__will__be__surprised__at__the__changes__when__you__come__back.

Yours，
