三、阅读理解 (每小题2分,共30分)
(A)
Our summer vacation begins on July 15th and lasts nearly two months.
Considering my brain needs a rest after a period of hard work, I, together with
my family, went to my country home, a very small farmhouse in which my
grandparents used to live, to spend the summer. Obviously, life, in the country
is very different from that in the city.
Early in the morning I took a walk
along the field side. The air was fresh and pure. With a dog following,
sometimes I ran a race in the meadows covered with tall grass. Sometimes I
climbed up the hill to see the sun slowly yet steadily rise from the dreams,
singing restlessly among the bushes. In order to enjoy the quietness of the
country, I gave myself entirely to nature, with a light heart and a happy mind.
Sometimes in the afternoon I, together with my cousins, took a rod and went to
the river to fish. It made the family happy when they saw me returning with a
basketful of large fresh fish. When night came, I would sit at the door and tell
the most wonderful and interesting stories to my cousins, who listened to the
tale of wonder with open eyes and mouth.
41. Why did the family live in their country home during the summer?

life

they could breathe fresh air

D. Why this family came to the country.
(B)
Mr. and Mrs. Brown were going abroad for their holiday. They had a dog called
Blackie which they were very fond of, but they could not take him abroad with
them, so they looked for a good place to leave him in while they were away, and
at last found a place which looked after dogs very well while their owners were
away. They took Blackie there just before they left for their holiday, and
sadly said good-bye to him.
At the end of their holiday, they got back to England very late at night, and
as they thought that the place where Blackie was staying might be closed at
that hour, they decided to wait until the next morning before going to get him
back.
So the next morning Mr. Brown got into his car and drove off happily to collect
Blackie.
When he reached home with the dog , he said to his wife, “Do you know, dear, I don’t think Blackie can have enjoyed his stay at that
place very much. He barked(叫) all the way
home in the car as if he wanted to tell me something.
Mrs. Brown looked at the dog carefully and then answered, “You are quite right, dear, he was certainly trying
to tell you something. But he wasn’t trying to
tell you that he hadn’t enjoyed his
stay at that place. He was only complaining that you were bringing the wrong
dog home. This is not Blackie!”

became thick and heavy. The snow pressed together. It became ice.

stones and sand with it. It changed the land. In some places, it left hills, in
some places, when the glacier melted, it made rivers and lakes.
A million years ago, there were many big glaciers. Glaciers covered most part
of the side of a world. The glaciers changed the land.
