We are here paying a visit to my aunt Gloria. We have been to theCaliforniaStateCapitolBuilding, the nature center, and the zoo. I have seen many interesting things, but one stands out above the rest. This morning we drove from my aunts home to Calistoga to see Californias Old Faithful Geyser (老忠实泉).

ThisCaliforniageyser is sometimes called “Little Old Faithful.”When we arrivedCaliforniasOld Faithfulwas only a calm pool of water. The geyser didnt look very deep.“Whats the big deal?”I wondered. As I turned, I saw some steam (蒸气) rising from the water. Before I knew it, there was hot water shooting (射) up about 60 feet into the air. We could not believe our eyes! It continued for almost three minutes.Aunt Gloria told me that the water came from an underground river. She also said that the water temperature was about95. This water can sometimes shoot 170 feet into the air.My aunt said that other geysers around the world reach hotter temperatures and shoot water even higher thanCalifornias Old Faithful Geyser.

That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldnt sleep. He still couldnt think of what he wanted his Christmas gift to be. He wondered how Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didnt know himself. As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof (屋顶) and a sound downstairs. It was Father Christmas, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to have a look at the old man with his own eyes. By the time Bunny reached the bottom of the stairs, though, everything was again silent. Beautiful gifts were piled (堆积) under the Christmas tree, but Father Christmas was gone. He looked for him for a few minutes, but it was already too late. Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry. “Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?” He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of gifts to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. Bunny might have mistaken it for a dog, if it hadnt been for the antlers (鹿角) on its head.“Are you a reindeer (驯鹿)?”asked Bunny.“Yes,” replied the animal, “my name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Father Christmas sled (雪橇)?” “I was until I got airsick,” replied Ralph, “Im afraid I wasntcut out forthe job. Now Im stuck here and I dont know how to get back to the North Pole.” “Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the gift he wanted from Father Christmas was a new friend!25. Why couldnt Bunny fall asleep on Christmas Eve?A. He had a lot of things to do.B.

Wordlessly, she gave it to me.“Is it finished?” I asked.She shook her head. “No. It is ready,” she replied. I handed her the money and took the blanket.“It is beautiful, so skillfully woven (编织),”I said to my mother.“But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?”“I will tell you later,” my mother said, “but first I will take you to the Navajo village.”We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing.It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo womans words.“Did you notice anything about the things the people were making?” my mother asked.“What should I have noticed?” I looked at her and asked.“Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete. The designs (设计) in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for examplethe line of a circle may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch (一针) missing.”I took the blanket off, but it looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that sure enough a stitch was missing!“But why do the Navajo intentionally leave some tiny part unfinished?” I asked.“They believe that when anything is completed or finished, it means the end has come it will not be perfect until then. Then too, with a circle, they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.”29. The blanket the author received _.A. was poorly wovenB. made her think a lotC. cost her a lot of moneyD. was finished, but not ready30. Why was the author shown around the village?A.

You must always try to make your life complete.32. Whats the main idea of the text?A. The Navajo are good at making things.B. The Navajo are brave and hard-working.C. A blanket tells a lot about the Navajo culture.D. Skills are needed to do business with the Navajo.DStudents fromOceansideHigh SchoolinRocklandwill be able to sleep in a little longer from this autumn.Regional School Unit 13 Superintendent (负责人) Lew Collins said during the schools Thursday night meeting that the schedule (时间表) for the schools will be changed. Oceanside East and West will start a half hour later, at8 a.m. for their new school year.Research has shown that teenagers brains are often not fully awake at 6:30 a.m. Collins said the schedule, which is used to get students to school for classes that begin at 7:30 a.m., calls for some to get on buses before6 a.m. to get to school on time. Teachers are having meetings at 6:40 a.m., which is too early, he thinks.Collins visited the high schools inRocklandand asked students when they would like classes to begin. Most of them said 8:00 a.m. “I was surprised. I thought they would have said 9:00 or 10:00,” he said.The National Sleep Foundation says on its website that teenagers biological clocks (生物钟) are designed to stay up later and get up later. The Foundation called for schools to change their schedules, which means a later start as well for elementary students (小学生).We do not have enough buses to run, since all the high school and elementary school buses run almost at the same time, Collins said. He suggested, “We should buy six more buses and get six more drivers to keep the new schedule working.”Elementary school classes inRocklandnow start at 8:30 a.m., but will be moved to 8:45 a.m., starting in the autumn. “I know this is a problem for working parents, but we will see what we can come up with,” said Jane Brown, a teacher atBardoniaElementary School. “Anyway, I believe if students get more sleep theyll be more ready to learn when classes start,” she added.33. A new schedule will be made to _.A. add more interesting subjectsB. help students do better in classC. ask parents to learn about schoolsD. cut the number of meetings down34. One of the problems facing the schools inRocklandis that they will _.A. be afraid of working parents disturbanceB. be worried about childrens safetyC. be short of school busesD. be short of teachers35. What does Jane Brown think of the new schedule?A. She is not certain about it.B. She is not interested in it.C. She is worried about it.D. She is hopeful about it.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 friends at a new schoolStarting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you dont even know where to go for your own classes.36However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.Be yourself.37If some people dont accept you, theyre not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.38Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!Believe in yourself.A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, dont keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact (目光接触) with other people.39Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where youre from.Remember peoples names.You like it when people use your name, and so do other people.40Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname (昵称).
