After five years, the family moved to France.Emilys mother was born in France. Emilys father is American. Emily says her little sister is very French, like her mother.

All he had left now was a sheet of the beautiful brown paper Pa had brought back from his last sailing trip.Youve been quiet, Pa said, Could I see your picture?Garrison handed over his sketch. Pa studied it, then looked at his son. Youre ten now, eh? Garrison nodded, hoping Pa wouldnt say that he was too old to be fooling around with pencils and paper.When I was ten, I wanted to work on my fathers ship, Pa said, When Thomas was ten, he asked me to let him plant the corn.Garrisons throat (嗓子) tightened. I know Im not like either of you. Pa looked at the drawing again.No, you are like both of us. You work hard, like Thomas. And youre like me, too. I have wandering feet, but you have a wandering mind. We need to see things differently.Garrison frowned. Id rather love the land, like Thomas, or the seaPa patted his hand. Thomas cares about our family very much-thats why hes worked so hard to bring us food. And my love for the sea makes good money. But theres more in life than food and money. Theres happiness, for one. Does it make you happy to draw?Garrison nodded.And it makes me happy to look at your drawings. Not many folks can catch happiness on a piece of paper. Some might say drawings a waste of time, but they dont understand how things are. Why, asking you to stop drawing like asking Thomas to stop farming, or me to stop going to sea. It would be like asking us to stop breathing, wouldnt it?Garrison considered this, then replied, No, sir. Not quite like breathing. If I couldnt draw any more, it would be like someone took away my voice. He hung his head. In his mind he could hear Thomas laughing, Its not like you ever speak up, anyway.But Pa patted his shoulder and said, That would be a pure shame. Your voice is important, Garrison, whether its out loud or on paper. And speaking of paper Pa smiled. Take a look in my bag.Garrison reached into the bag and found a sketchbook. For a moment he was speechless happiness seemed to fill his body and stick in his throat. Then he managed to find his voice. Oh, Pa-thank you.（1）Why did Garrisons throat tighten? A . Because he felt thirsty.B . Because he felt very scared.C . Because he knew he was not like Pa or Thomas.D . Because he thought Pa would stop him drawing.（2）When Garrison frowned, he most probably felt _. A . unhappyB . worriedC . afraidD . ashamed（3）What can we infer from the passage about Garrison? A . He lived in a big wealthy family.B . He was his fathers favourite son.C . He would go on with his drawing.D . He would learn to work on the farm.3. （12.5分）阅读理解 Why do we play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member-these are all “game” ideas that you will get throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Some games are entertaining(具娱乐性的) and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting games that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and teamwork.Many childrens games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as adults. For example, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called Bones. It can be very helpful to exercise their hands and eyes, which is needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in the friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for a whole country, not just the athlete who has got it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean more.Sports are also an event that brings people together. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it-some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He set up an organization which can provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a hopeful future.Next time, when you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in your life.（1）According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging? A . It proves how excellent the winners are.B . It means a lot for a whole country.C . It helps the country out of natural disasters.D . It brings the winners satisfaction and money.（2）Which of the following statement is NOT true? A . The most famous games are the Olympic GamesB . The games called Bones can be helpful to Arabian childrenC . People around the world play soccer just for funD . Nicolette Iribarne gives poor children a hope for a better life（3）What is the passage mainly about? A . Games and real life.B . The most popular games.C . The advantages of games.D . Childrens games and their study4. （12.5分）（2017绵阳）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。There is a popular belief that goldfish only have a three-second memory. But a 15-year-old schoolboy from Adelaide has just finished an experiment（实验）to tell us that it is not true. He shows everybody that the goldfish is smarter than we think.“I dont believe that they had a three-second memory because animals need their memory, so they build up over time a knowledge of where the food is,” said Roy Stokes, a student at the Australian Science and Mathematics School.He did the experiment in small tank（鱼缸）of goldfish. “I decided to get a bit of red Logo and just feed them next to that. Every day Id put it in and spread food around it.” He said.“At first they were a bit scared of it, but by the end of the three weeks, they were actually almost coming before I put the food in.”After leaving the fish alone for a week, Rory placed the red Logo block in the tank again.“They remembered perfectly well,” he said.“They actually had a time faster than the average of the three feeds before I left.”The goldfish showed that not only could they store information, they also had the ability to get it back as a later date.Culum Brown, a research fellow at Sydneys Macquarie University, has studied fish behavior for more than ten years.He says his studies of Australian native fish show fish were intelligent creatures that know how to avoid enemies and catch food like any other animal.“The thing that I really liked about Rorys experiment is he not only got that classical conditioning going but the fact that he could get them next just to that specific coloured market. I thought it was really good.” He said.（1）Rory began his research by _. A . discussing with his classmatesB . making friends with goldfishC . asking his teacher for adviceD . questioning a popular belief（2）Rory put a red Logo in the tank to _. A . connect food with the colorB . make the tank nicer to look atC . feed the fish at the same placeD . give the fish something to play with（3）Whats the right order of Rorys experiment?a. find a tank of goldfishb. feed the fish next to the Logoc. leave the goldfish alone for a weekd. take out the Logoe. put a red Logo into the tankf. put the Logo back into the tankA . adbecfB . aebdcfC . dabefcD . adebcf（4）What do the last three paragraphs tell us? A . Rorys research was highly praised by experienced experts.B . Rorys experiment failed to meet the scientific standard.C . Many scientists had already done the experiment before.D . Fish are the cleverest animal in Australia.（5）What can we learn from the story? A . Fish can become smarter with the help of red color.B . What everybody believes is not necessarily true.C . Scientists should learn from middle school students.D . Young people are generally smarter than aged ones.二、 任务型阅读（共10分，每题2分） (共1题；共10分)5. （10分）阅读下面短文，请从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并回答问题。COnce upon a time，there was a king who had gone to visit neighboring kingdomsHe was gifted a pair of baby parrots by the king of the last kingdom where he was visitingThey were the most beautiful birds that he had ever seenso，after returning to his kingdom，he called for a bird trainer and asked him to train parrotsThe king also set up a place in the palace garden for the parrotsHe often looked at them from his palace windowAs time passed，one day the trainer came to the palace and told the king that though one of the parrots was flying high in the sky，the other one was not moving from its branch since the day it had arrivedWhen hearing this,the king summoned the best trainer from all his land and the nearby kingdomsThey came quickly and tried their best, but none of them could make the parrot fly!He even asked his courtiers to try to find a good way to make the parrot fly but they all failedThe parrot was not moving from his branch at allFinally，after trying everything，the king thought to himself：Perhaps I need someone who may be more familiar with natural habitatHe asked his courtier to get a farmer from the countryside and take him to the parrot to see if he could understand the problem with the parrotThe next morning，the king was surprised to see the parrot flying high above the palace gardensHe asked his servant to call that farmer to meet himThe servant quickly went and found the farmerThe farmer came and stood before the kingThe king asked him，How did you make the parrot fly?
