The farm was a great place to live. Besides wonderful tall climbing trees, it had cats and chickens and a horse, which she rode all over the countryside and through the streets of town. Even so, Carol was sometimes lonely. She would climb to the top of her favorite tree and make up stories to cheer herself up. The favorite part of her day was when Grandmother Caddie would sit with her and tell stories about the adventures (冒险经历) she and her brothers had. Carol loved the stories so much that when she grew up, she decided to write a book about them. Thousands of children throughout the world have read and loved Caddie Woodlawn. Carols book won a special award (奖项) called the Newbery Medal. Each year only one childs book is chosen to win this award.Carol said it was her son and daughter who inspired (激励) her to write for children. That wasnt easy when she was busy taking care of a family. Sometimes an idea would come to her while she was washing the supper dishes. She would make a quick note and come back to write it out more fully after her children were asleep. Carol wrote 27 books in her life, many of which are about her life in Idaho. Besides the Newbery Medal, she won many more awards. Later when another author Mary Reed wrote a book about Carol Ryrie Brink, she summed up (概括) Carols life by saying, “She tried to live in a way that would not harm others, to never waste a day, and to make the most of her life.” 21. When she felt lonely on the farm, Carol would _.A. ride a horse to the townB. ask her grandmother to read her a storyC. climb all the tall treesD. make herself happy with her own stories22. What do we know about Caddie Woodlawn?A. It is an award-winning book.B. It is about Carols adventures.C. It is unpopular among children.D. It is one of Carols childhood works.23. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that Carol _.A. once gave up writing because of the heavy housework B. had a hard time in the early days of her writingC. didnt get any understanding from her family D. didnt earn much from her writingBThe Tower of London, not a single tower but a large group, was built to guard London. Besides William and Henry VIII, the towers history has other famous names in British history. In 1389 a clerk of works named Geoffrey Chaucer author of The Canterbury Tales oversaw (监督) the building of the Tower Wharf. In 1671 Colonel Blood tried to steal the crown jewels (皇冠上镶的宝石) after overpowering the elderly Jewel House keeper. (Blood was caught but later pardoned.) Today the jewels remain in the tower as they have since Bloods day.For six centuries this place was also home to a group of animals from elephants to big cats. It stopped being used as an animals home in 1835 and its animals were moved to the London Zoo.Today visitors can walk the walls, visit guard towers and see the crown jewels. Guards at the tower, popularly known as beefeaters, not only guard the tower but also give interesting tours that are among the most popular parts of any visit.How to Get ThereTrains and the Dockland Light Railway stop near the tower. Buses 15, 42, 78 and 100 reach the tower, and riverboats stop at Tower Pier. Taxis, bicycles, and foot power are also good ways to reach the tower. Driving is a less attractive choice because of the expensive parking.When to GoThe tower is open all year round, except during the Christmas holidays (December 24 to 26) and January 1. School holidays and summertime are the busiest times.How to VisitAs expected at a place that has seen so much history, there is enough of interest at the Tower of London to keep visitors busy for days. Stop at the Welcome Center for visitor information on everything from the crown jewels to family fun activities.24. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 shows _.A. the tower was built by famous peopleB. some famous people caused trouble there C. there were many famous people in British historyD. there were many interesting stories connected to the tower25. Beefeaters at the tower _.A. have two roles B. like to eat beef C. seem very serious D. often joke with visitors26. According to the text, the Tower of London is _.A. easy to reach B. full of parked cars C. busy all year round D. a perfect place for a one-day tourCNewborns begin to develop language skills long before they begin speaking. And, compared to adults, they develop these skills more quickly. People have a hard time learning new languages as they grow older, but babies have the ability to learn any language easily.For a long time, scientists have tried to explain how such young children can learn the complicated (复杂的) grammatical rules and sounds of a language. Now, researchers are getting a better idea of whats happening in the brains of the tiniest language learners. This new information might help kids with learning problems as well as adults who want to learn new languages. It might even help scientists who are trying to design computers that can communicate like people do.Most babies go “ma ma” by 6 months of age, and most children speak in full sentences by age 3. For many years, scientists have wondered how the brains of young children figure out how to communicate using language. With the help of new technologies, scientists are now finding that babies begin life with the ability to learn any language. They get into contact (接触) with other people, listen to what they say and watch their movements very closely. That is why they quickly master the languages they hear most often. Studies show that, up to about 6 months of age, babies can recognize all the sounds that make up all the languages in the world. Starting at around 6 months old a babys brain focuses on (集中于) the most common sounds it hears. Then, children begin responding only to the sounds of the language they hear the most.In a similar way older babies start recognizing the patterns that make up the rules of their native language. For example, English children who are about 18 months old start to figure out that words ending in “-ing” or “-ed” are usually verbs, and that verbs are action words. 27. The new research in the second paragraph can be helpful in _. A. finding successful language learnersB. teaching kids with learning problems C. designing human-shaped computersD. improving babies language ability28. The researchers found out that babies learn a language mainly by _.A. repeating the words of other people B. remembering the full sentences they hearC. hearing and closely watching others speakD. figuring out the meaning of different sounds29. In the last two paragraphs, the author explains _.A. why babies pay more attention to soundsB. how babies respond to what they hear most often C. why verbs in a language attract the most attention of a baby D. how babies master the grammatical rules of their native language30. The purpose of the text is to _.A. discuss B. educate C. inform D. entertain第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）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。How to make a friendSmile!
