三、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最
佳选项。（共26分，每小题2分）
A
Millions of young people are writing blogs. Millions of others are reading them. The word “blog” is a short
way of saying web log. Today I will show you different ideas from the following people.
I am a teenag,er. I like blog very much. Many popular websites
now offer free easy ways to create personal web pages and fill
them with writings and pictures. Websites called “Facebook” and
“My Space” are some of the most popular blog sites for young
people. Many young adults use their blogs to write about daily
activities and events in their lives.
Tina
Everything has two sides. Blogs offer young people a place to
share their feelings. They can write their ideas and opinions and
how they think of others’ ideas. Blogs can also be helpful to connect
young people with others. But blogs can become dangerous when
they are read on the Internet by millions of people all over the
world.
Maria
I can’t say “yes” to blog. Young people often provide their
names, age and addresses on the Internet. This personal information
puts them at risk of being searched out by dangerous people who
want to hurt them. Many students do not know about privacy and
are surprised to learn that adults can read their personal dailyrecords easily. So I think blogs are dangerous.
Tommy
School should teach parents about the websites. Parents should
also know what their children are doing online and should read their
blogs to make sure they are not giving out private information. One
way to keep away from these problems is to use programs so that
blogs can be read by “friends only”. People can read the website
only if they know a secret word chosen by the blogger.
Smith
21. _________ likes blogs very much.
A. Tina B. Maria C. Tommy D. Smith
.
22 Tommy thinks blogs may be _________.
A. popular B. dangerous C. helpful D. private
23. Smith thinks the way to keep away from blog problems is to __________.
A. teach students about the websites B. know what parents are doing online
C. communicate with people face to face D. set blogs can be read by “friends only”
B
Mary and her husband Jim have a dog named Lucky. Lucky is special. Whenever Mary and Jim have friends

dog just looked unhappy. Then, the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary was so
tired that she couldn’t even walk upstairs to her bedroom. Jim made his wife comfortable on the sofa and left her to
have a short sleep. Lucky was standing all the time, watching Mary but he didn’t come to her when she called him.
It made Mary sad. But she felt so sleepy that soon she fell asleep.
When Mary woke later, she couldn’t understand what was wrong. She couldn’t move her head and her bodyfelt very heavy and hot. But fear soon gave way when Mary realized the problem. She was covered with every
favorites Lucky owned! While she was sleeping, the sad dog made trip after trip to his toy box bringing all his

On the evening of February 4, when the last two torchbearers（火炬手）ran to the center of the Bird’s Nest
with the “flying” torch, the whole audience was silent and attracted attention.
The stage appeared slowly and the torch was gently put into the base. At this time, the “flying” began to
change into a butterfly, and the crystal clear display screen turned into a “snowflake”, holding the flame（火焰）in
the air.
In the history of the Olympic Games, the lighting ways of the main torch have been creative. But the main
torch of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games is still displayed in an unexpected way in front of hundreds of
millions of audiences around the world--- low fire, screen display and dancing in the air. With the support ofscience and technology, the main torch of the Winter Olympic Games put ice and fire together perfectly!
Three inventions create a fantastic main torch. “The biggest creation in the Research and Design of the main
torch of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games is the low fire design, video display and the complete form over the
Bird’s Nest by the controlling system, which is fantastic in the 100-year history of the Olympic Games.” Liu Yue,
the technical director of the main torch of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, said in an interview with the science
and technology daily.
Why use low fire design? It is to better show the idea of green, low-carbon（低碳）and sustainable
development. The Olympic torch before was always using fire with huge energy waste. The Beijing Winter
Olympic Games used green energy—hydrogen（氢气）as fuel.
On the evening of February 4, the main torch of the Beijing Winter Olympics was successfully lit. Liu Yue,
who experienced the main torch of the Beijing Winter Olympics from birth to appear amazingly, can’t hide his
pride and joy. At this time, he and his team members finished their task and successfully made a difference to the
Beijing Winter Olympics.

C. Beijing Winter Olympic Games did the same things as others.
D. The main torch put ice and fire together because of green energy.

四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）
Two Thanksgivings“Why are we visiting Uncle Ed now? Thanksgiving is next month,” Curtis said. “In the United States,
Thanksgiving is in November,” his dad replied. “In Canada, it’s in October.” “Why?” Curtis asked. “Ask Uncle Ed.
He used to teach history. You could learn a lot from him,” his dad said.
When Curtis met Uncle Ed, he asked, “Why is Canada’s Thanksgiving so early?” “Thanksgiving is when we
give thanks for the harvest (收获),” Uncle Ed said. “Canada gets colder before the United States, so its harvest and
Thanksgiving come earlier.”
The next day, Curtis’s dad helped Uncle Ed cook Thanksgiving dinner. “What are we having?” Curtis asked.
“You’ll find out soon,” his dad said. “Why don’t you watch TV?” “We watch football on Thanksgiving, too,” Uncle
Ed said. “I’m sure there’s a game on.” On his way out of the kitchen, Curtis saw a cornucopia. It looked like one
Mom used for their Thanksgiving. Football...cornucopia... was Canada copying the United States?
At dinner, Curtis sat down to turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. He said suddenly, “Your
Thanksgiving is just like ours!” Uncle Ed laughed and said, “We do celebrate in similar ways. In the 1700s, many
Americans moved to Canada. They brought their Thanksgiving traditions with them.” “We probably gave you our
holiday, too,” Curtis said. “Actually, we celebrated Thanksgiving before you,” Uncle Ed replied. “However,
Thanksgiving is much older than both Canada and the United States.’ “Really?” Curtis said, surprised.
“The First Nations people were giving thanks for the harvest long before settlers (殖民者) arrived. Also,
Spanish settlers in the southern part of North America celebrated Thanksgiving even before Canada.”
“So when did Thanksgiving start in Canada?” Curtis asked. “An explorer named Martin Frobisher celebrated
the first Canadian Thanksgiving in 1578. He gave thanks because he had stayed alive the long trip across the ocean
from England to Canada.” Uncle Ed said.
“But now Canada gives thanks for the harvest?” Curtis asked. “Yes. In 1957, Canada made its Thanksgiving
official (官方的). Since then, we have always given thanks on the second Monday in October,” Uncle Ed said.
After dinner, Curtis and his dad thanked Uncle Ed. “Come to our house for Thanksgiving next month,” Curtis
said. “I’ll teach you about our holiday.” “Sure,” Uncle Ed said. “By then, I’ll ask for more pumpkin pie!”
34. Is Thanksgiving in October in Canada?
______________________________________35. Why does Canada’s Thanksgiving come earlier than the United States’ ?

36. What did they have for Thanksgiving dinner?
