The evidence, a napkin resting on top of the sandwiches packed in wax paper, was certain “Love you!” she had written on the napkin. “ Meat loaf for supper!”Mom penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper napkins, and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has become a precious memory of my parents.It also started my own brand of lunch box notes. When my kids were young, Id glue little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches(素描) of our dog, Max, along with smiling flowers. When they were teenagers, Id copy words of wisdom from great people, Einstein, for example, or Bruce Springsteen. Then, my kids grew up making their own handwritten notes. And my husband writes me love notes on recycled paper, because hes all about being green.Friends who know about my lunch box notes eagerly share stories of their own family traditions. So many focus on food. Mauras mom always drew hearts on the shells of hard-boiled eggs. Melinda wrote messages on her kids bananas.Were into the third generation of lunch box notes in our home. Whenever my 3-year-old grandson, Clayton, spends the night, he knows his lunch is going to have a napkin note from Grandma in the morning. Last week, I drew a picture of me, waving widely and shouting his name. He took one look at it and screamed, “ Wheres Grandpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. “ You forgot his tie,” he said. I quickly drew a line of stripes(条纹) down the front of the shirt. Clayton smiled. “Grandpa,” he whispered, running his fingers across the napkin. “Its you!”1.

One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts,while the other led some sort of army across America.I stared at the screen,wondering which one my teacher meant.I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice:flip (掷) a coin.Headsthe commander,and tailsthe peanut guy.Ah! Tails,my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter,George Washington Carver.Weeks later,standing before this unfriendly mass,I was totally lost.Oh well,I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk,burning to find out what I had done wrong.As a classmate began his report,it all became clear,“My report is on George Washington,the man who started the American Revolution.”The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously,my grade was awful.Heartbroken but fearless,I decided to turn this around.I talked to Miss Lancelot,but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade.I felt that the punishment was not justified,and I believed I deserved a second chance.Consequently,I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.Ten months later,that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather,now having an entirely different conversation.I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade.Justice is sweet!1.What did the authors classmates think about his report?()A.Controversial.B.Ridiculous.C.Boring.D.Puzzling.2.Why was the author confused about the task?()A.He was unfamiliar with American history.B.He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C.He forgot his teachers instruction.D.He was new at the school.3.The underlined word “burning” in Para.3 probably means .A.annoyedB.ashamedC.readyD.eager4.In the end,the author turned things around .A.by redoing his taskB.through his own effortsC.with the help of his grandfatherD.under the guidance of his headmaster语篇解读:本文为记叙文,题材为人物故事类。由于对历史知识的匮乏让“我”在课上闹了大笑话并得了很差的分数,之后“我”努力学习为的就是不让那样的尴尬时刻再次出现。答案及剖析:1.B推理判断题。根据文章第一段的第一句话“Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room,only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.”可以判断出同学们认为“我”的报告很可笑、很荒唐,故选择B项。2.A事实细节题。根据文章第二段Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country,I had never heard of that name before.可知“我”对美国历史不熟悉,故选择A项。3.D猜测词义题。根据文章第一段的最后一句话“What could be causing everyone to act this way?”就可以看出“我”不知道到底怎么了。第三段讲回到了座位上的那一刻,“我”迫切想知道“我”做错了什么,根据上下文意思应选择D项eager“迫切的,急切的”。annoyed生气的;ashamed羞愧的;ready准备好的。4.B事实细节题。根据文章最后一段的“Consequently,I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.”可知应选择B项。【长难句子分析】 and 当校长告知我可以选择跳过六年级时,我笑了,同时突然想到了年初尴尬的那一时刻。将此句中的状语画出:I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year(时间状语),as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade.(时间状语),没画线部分为主句,这样考生对句子的理解会更清晰。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。【2013界崇明县】To whom it may concern,I highly recommend Jane Doe as a candidate for employment.

C 较难题目特训：科普知识类Have you ever noticed the colour of the water in a river or stream after a heavy rainfall?What do you think caused this change in colour?It is soil that has been washed into the river from the riverbank or from the nearby fields.Components of SoilSoil is made up of a number of layers(层),each having its own distinctive colour and texture. The upper layer is know as the litter. It acts like a blanket,limiting temperature changes and reducing water loss. The topsoil layer is made up of small particles of rock mixed with rotten plant and animal matter called humus(腐殖质),which is black and gives the topsoil its dark colour. This layer is usually rich in nutrients,oxygen,and water. Below the topsoil is the subsoil,a layer that contains more stones mixed with only small amounts of organic matter. This layer is lighter in colour because of the lack of humus. Beneath the soil lies a layer of bedrock.Soil forms from the bottom up. Over time bedrock is attacked by rain,wind,frost,and snow. It is gradually broken down into smaller particles in a process called weathering. Plants begin to grow,and rotten materials enrich the topsoil. Most of the soil in Eastern Canada,for example,was formed from weathered rock that was exposed when the ice disappeared 12,000 years ago.Water Beneath the SoilSurface water collects and flows above the ground in lakes,ponds,and rivers. Once in the soil or rock,it is called groundwater. Gravity pulls groundwater through the soil in a process called percolation(渗透). Eventually the water reaches a layer called the water table. Under this is bedrock through which water cannot percolate.As water percolates downward,it dissolves organic matter and minerals from the soil and carries them to deeper layers. This causes a serious problem because plants require these nutrients for growth.Soil pHSoil can be acidic,neutral,or basic. The pH of the soil is determined by the nature of the rock from which it was formed,and by the nature of the plants that grow and rot in it.The acidity of rain and snow can lower the pH of the groundwater that enters the soil. By burning fossil fuels such as coal,oil and gasoline,humans have been contributing to higher levels of acidity in many soils. When fossil fuels are burned,gases are released into the air and then fall back to earth as acid rain. Acid soil increases the problem of carrying nutrients to lower soil levels. As nutrients are removed,soil is less fertile. Plants grow more slowly in acidic soil,and also become easily attacked by diseases.1. The layer of soil that provides necessary nutrients for plant growth is called.A. litterB. topsoilC. humusD. subsoil2. According to the text,which of the following isNOT true?A. Soil forms from weathered rock on the earth surface.B. The deeper layer of soil is darker in colour than the surface soil.C. Air pollution is partially responsible for acid soil.D. Groundwater tends to carry away nutrients for plant growth.3. We can infer from the passage that the water table lies.A. between the topsoil layer and the subsoil layerB. in the subsoil layer above bedrockC. between the subsoil layer and bedrockD. in the bedrock layer beneath the subsoil4. The underlined word“dissolve” is used to express the idea that organic matter and minerals from soil are.A. rushed away into the riverB. cleaned and purified by waterC. destroyed and carried away by waterD. mixed with water and become part of it【参考答案】1-4 BBCD
