“my father is going to get angry at me,” i thought. i didnt want to raise (举起) my hand, but something much stronger than me pulled it up. “i did it,” i said. then i was silent. it was hard enough saying what i had.my teacher went to one of our bookshelves and took down a book. she then began walking towards my desk. i had never known my teacher to strike (打) a student, but i feared she was going to start with me.“i know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my face. “here is the field guide about birds (鸟类野外指南) that you always check out from our school library. it is yours now. we have got a new one for the school. you will not be punished (惩罚). but remember, its only for your honesty.”i couldnt believe it! i wasnt being punished and i was getting my own bird field guide, the one that i had been saving up all my money to buy.( )54. how did the writer feel when he saw his teacher walking towards him with a book from bookshelves?a. relaxed. b. pleased.c. frightened.d. guilty.( )55. what do the underlined words “check out” mean?a. lend b. borrowc. testd. buy( )56. what can we learn from the story?a. the writers teacher often hit her students.b. the writer broke the window when he was catching a bird.c. the writer was seriously punished after he admitted his mistake.d. the writer didnt want to admit his mistake at the beginning.( )57. the writer mainly wants to tell us that _.a. he who is honest is wiseb. better late than neverc. practice makes perfectd. a friend in need is a friend indeedcin most situations, light helps us to see. but nowadays humans are using too much of it so that it is in fact a kind of pollution.when we look at the night sky, too much light makes it difficult for us to watch some most wonderful sights: stars, planets and even galaxies.according to scientific research, about 2,500 stars can be seen by the human eyes without any special equipment. but because of light pollution, you can only see 200 to 300 stars from todays countryside, and no more than ten stars from a city. in most big cities, people cannot see the sky filled with stars like they did in their childhood.light pollution affects more than just our view of sky. research shows that lots of nighttime light can harm wildlife, too.when birds fly to another place over cities, they sometimes get lost by the brightness and fly in circles until they drop from tiredness. sea tortoises need dark beaches for laying eggs, but they cant find their ideal places because of those bright lights.too much light at night may even affect human health, but scientists are not sure of that. they are still learning more.in order to prevent things from going worse, governments and some organizations are working to reduce light pollution. many cities and towns have taken action to reduce the use of lights at night. lights are used only when and where they are truly needed. they also shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky and use lower brightness levels.hopefully, in the near future, humans can enjoy the clear and beautiful sky again and all the wildlife will live a peaceful and undisturbed life, too.( )58. why does the writer think that too much light is a kind of pollution?a. because there are fewer and fewer stars. b. because some of the wildlife can be harmed. c. because too much light is a waste of energy.d. because scientists think human health has been affected.( )59. which of the following is not mentioned in this passage?a. the problems that light pollution has caused. b. the reason why humans use too much light. c. the ways that light pollution can be reduced. d. the reason why fewer stars can be seen than before. ( )60. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. there are about 2,500 stars in the sky. b. humans want to do nothing to reduce light pollution.c. sea tortoises always get lost and die from tiredness. d. something has been done to reduce light pollution. ( )61. which is the best title for the passage?a. light pollution b. stars, planets and galaxiesc. nighttime light d. scientific researchdits not easy to be an astronauts son. everybody expects you to be special or perfect. i often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. i mean hes so special and so good at everything he does. even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team. well, to be honest, i often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special-like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. i was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a fathers day writing competition for the whole school. “i hope we have a winner right here in my class.” when i got home, i started to think about what to write. my father is an astronaut. no, i wouldnt start like that. that was the way others saw him. how did i see my father? hmm. i saw him sitting with me in the dark when i had a terrible dream. i remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog spotty was killed by a car. yes, these were the things i was going to write. to me, he wasnt just a world-famous astronaut. he was my dad. my parents and i went to school at thursday night. there were so many people in the big hall! my dad looked at me, and i shrugged(耸肩). the third prize was announced and it was not me. i was relieved(释然) and disappointed at the same time. the second prize was announced. it was me. 1 went up to the stage and read what i had written, “my fathers son”. when i finished, the people stood up and cheered. i saw my father blowing his nose. tears were running down my mothers face. dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. “son, this is the proudest moment of my life. it was the proudest moment of my life, too. maybe ill never be a great hero or win a nobel prize, but it was enough just to be my fathers son.
