Sunday couldnt have been more different-clear skies and sunshine made it feel like summer, although it was -25.Six of us drove 16km to the coast. It was the first time wed been off base on our own, so it had a slightly different feeling-more like a few friends going to the seaside than an Antarctica field trip! When we reached Windy Creek, we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying seabirds, which are seldom seen there.Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the main group to come and check us out. Wed been told that now they are nursing their chicks, so they would be more careful and nervous than last time but that didnt seem to be the case. We sat down for some sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers. Without any attackers on land, they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose (摆姿势) for photos.Before heading back, we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks, which had grown dramatically (引人注目地) since our last visit.

As Frederic Melcher said back in 1919, “Childrens Book Week brings us together to talk about books and reading and, out of our knowledge and love of books, to put the cause of childrens reading squarely before the whole community and, community by community, across the whole nation. For a great nation is a reading nation.”This is a wonderful time to be thinking about books for children. Kids in Jackson County are reading more than ever according to the statistics (统计数据) from last years summer reading programs in the Jackson County libraries. The libraries get help from many community groups and businesses to support this program every year. All the volunteer groups in each community work hard all year at book sales and other events to raise money to help fund prizes and programs. We also had contributions this year from local people and organizations. Several of these businesses have been supporters for many years, helping to promote delight in reading among our children.The theme for this years Childrens Book Week is IMAGINE! And thats just what books help us do: imagine a far-off land, a distant past, a better future, things that have never existed but might someday. Books help children develop the power of imagination and, as Muhammad Ali once said, “A man who has no imagination has no wings.”28.

The 89th yearly Childrens Book Week is held to_.A. bring back childrens reading interestB. develop childrens power of imaginationC. help children form good reading habitsD. enable children to learn about the power of books31.

To make the theme of the article clearer.DHello, my name is David and Im a mobile-phone addict (手机迷). I am here today to face the truth about my condition and hope that by speaking out I can help others to overcome their own problems.The careless observer probably couldnt find anything wrong with me. I have a respectable appearance and my behavior in public isnt shocking or attracting. I hadnt even realized myself that I was a mobile addict until the past few days. But I have just spent two of those days doing an experiment that has showed the terrible reality. I have suffered mentally and physically. And my experience has made me believe that I am only one of millions of fellow addicts.When I turned the phone on after two days I found I had three messages and four texts. OK, so I was a bit put out that there were not more. I had missed the chance to do a phone interview that I had been trying to get for two weeks and an invitation to a last-minute lunch. Angry but to be honest, no more than that.However, I was relieved to have the phone back on. My fingers soon stopped twitching (颤抖) caused by not using the phone. I sent some unimportant texts and made a couple of meaningless calls and that cheered me up.I still believe that the phone is an important tool for work, but realize that otherwise it is often just a meaningless safety blanket “ Hi, darling. Im on my way home. Just leaving the office now. Love you. Bye.”So do I have the courage to stop using it as such? Of course I do. But I just choose not to. 32. The writers purpose in writing the text is to_.A. make people know that he is a mobile-phone addict.B. tell us the mobile phone is a kind of useful toolC. inform us of the shortcomings of the mobile phones.D. help other mobile addicts overcome their problems33.

By saying “ I was a bit put out” the writer probably means “I was_”.A. glad B. angry C. confused D. troublesome35. From the last paragraph, we can see that the writer will _.A. throw away the mobile phoneB. stop using the mobile phoneC. still use the mobile phoneD. give the mobile phone to a needy person第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）（注意：E涂AB,F涂BC,G涂CD） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Finding quality time and squeezing it in between school, work and other activities may present some challenges for you and your family. However, a great way to squeeze in some family time is to prepare and cook meals together. 36 And it also gives your family control over the nutritional content and can turn into an educational experience for all. Not to mention, it is also a great way to help save some dollars. Below are some benefits of family cooking time: The kitchen is a perfect place for bonding time with your kids. You can find yourself sharing stories, laughing and learning new things about one another. Involving your kids in kitchen activities is fun. 37 They can also mix the ingredients(配料). Children learn science, math, reading and writing skills when following a recipe(食谱). Give them the task of reading the recipe and measuring the amounts of ingredients. 38 Another suggestion for family time is to make the trips to the supermarket, which is a fun experience for all. Prepare your shopping list ahead of time and involve your children in selecting recipes for the week. Once at the store, play a game of hunting with the family. 39 They can help you select and identify items on sale and find the ingredients throughout the store. 40 When parents spend time with their children, this not only builds a strong bond, but also lets your children know how much you love them and this may be their best memory of all.A. Your kids can help with setting the table.B. It is really important to cook meals together.C. Give the children a copy of the shopping list.D. They will know what the healthy food is for them.E. Have some paper and a pencil on hand for additions.F. Spending time in the kitchen provides a space for bonding.G.
