When I traveled across to the other side of the island (岛屿), I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole (洞) in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didnt I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldnt move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didnt move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.I kept food and tools (工具) at both my houses, and also wild goats (山羊). There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.（1） The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to _.A . escape in itB . get to the other side of the islandC . use it for foodD . go around the island（2）To survive, the writer did the following EXCEPT _.A . keeping goats for milkB . making clothes from animal skinsC . working in the cornfieldsD . going fishing in the sea（3）Why didnt the writer use his first canoe?A . Because it was too small for a long journey.B . Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.C . Because there was something wrong with it.D . Because the writer was busy building a second house.（4）From the story, we can learn that _.A . the writer tried to make his stay comfortable on the islandB . the writer had nothing to do on the wild islandC . the writer tried to escape in the second canoe, but failedD . the writer was in prison on the island, losing his freedom34. （6.0分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 A、B、C、D中选出最佳选项。BFace it, Andy.

It seems that I had more free time than todays children. I didnt have to show up in front of my parents right after school, instead I would go to play with my classmates who lived in the neighborhood. We played like mad until dinner was ready and our parents called Come back! Come home for supper！Days passed by as I grew up in the company of those calls which are still echoing in my ears even now.In a short while, my childhood was gone. When a thin layer of hair began to grow around the corners of my mouth, home became a place I tried to run away from.As I read more and more, my world opened up, larger than before. The bed I used to sleep in became too small, and words of care from my parents began to sound meaningless. How I wished I could have a space of my own some day! Later I joined the army and put on the green uniform. During my service days, home was the series of letters I received one after another. My most homesick moments were when I read those letters from my family.When I got a job, I began to get hurt, to rise and fall in a sea of people, and to understand that you cant share all your pains with other people, even with your best friends. So again, another wave of homesickness came over me. When I was badly hurt, I imagined myself flying home on wings. Pushing open the door, I let tears flow down my face. At that moment I felt that as large as the world was, what I needed was only the familiar smell of home and the unchanged view outside the window of my old house.Although I already have much life experience behind me, I know there is still a long way ahead and my concept of home will go on developing. But already I have come to see that home is where we can find the true meaning of all the busy rush life. What makes the concept different is that sometimes it refers to a persons home and sometimes to the home of many, many people.（1）What does the underlined word company mean in Chinese in Paragraph 2? A . 公司B . 陪伴C . 友情D . 氛围（2）From the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A . He misses his life in his childhood.B . He lives happily when studying at school.C . He enjoys himself during his service days.D . He can share his feelings with his buddies.（3）From the whole passage, what will be talked about in the following passage? A . His mother.B . Being a parent.C . His job.D . The last years of his life.（4）What is the best title for the passage? A . Missing My Parents and HomeB . Escaping from HomeC . A Changing Concept of HomeD . A Developing Home五、 语法填空（共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） (共1题；共10分)37. （10分）He wants to go to
