试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是Baker先生因为感谢Billy归还了他丢失的钱包,让他在自己家里工作。Baker先生喜欢种树,他刚刚种下的树,害怕被人偷走,所以交代Billy要照顾好它们。没想到,Billy把这些树都拔出来藏起来了。
小题1:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:一天,他在街上散步的时候,发现了一个钱包。bought 的原形是buy,意思是买;found 的原形是find, 发现;carried 的原形是carry,意思是携带;want 想要。根据下句话中He returned it to the owner,他把钱包还给了失主可知,这个钱包是他在大街上发现的。故选B。
小题2:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:Baker先生向这个孩子表示了感谢。wallet 钱包;pity 遗憾;thanks感谢; excuse借口。根据文意可知,Billy把钱包还给了失主,故失主Baker先生应该向他表示感谢。故选C。
小题3:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:因为这个孩子没有工作,所以Baker先生就让他在自己的家里给他工作。office 办公室;city 城市;town 城镇;home 家。根据下文的文意可知,Baker先生是让Billy在他自己的家里工作。故选D。

小题8:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:Billy回答说:先生,不要为他们担心。think 思考,认为;talk 谈论;learn 学习,学会;worry担心。根据上句话可知,Baker先生担心家附近的小孩偷他的树。故这里Billy应该对Baker先生说不要担心。故选D。
小题9:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:Baker先生问:有没有来偷树?did 是do 的过去式,用在过去时态中;does 是第三人称单数形式;has 和空后的come 构成现在完成时;will是一般将来时。根据句意可知,这里是Baker先生回来后问Billy,有没有人来偷树,故应该用现在完成时。故选C。

What’s the meaning of “dark horse”? It’s someone who wins when no one expects it.
Han Xiaopeng took China’s first gold on snow. He became an Olympic “dark horse” last Thursday by winning the gold medal in men’s freestyle aerial skiing(自由式滑雪空中技巧) at Turin in Italy. He made two almost perfect jumps for the highest score. Han had never won a world gold medal before, let alone(更不用说) in the Olympics!
“I never thought this would happen,” said the 23-year-old. “I feel like I’m in a dream.” It’s China’s second gold medal at the Turin Olympics. But more important, Han’s gold was the country’s first ever in a snow sport. In 2002, China’s Yang Yang won the gold for speed skating at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, US.
Just because Han’s win was unexpected doesn’t mean that he didn’t work hard.
Han grew up in Jiangsu Province. Before he started his training on snow, he used to be an acrobat(杂技演员) at a circus. In 1995, a coach found his talent(才能). The coach, Yang Er’qi, said Han had the agility(灵活性) and courage to be a ski jumper. When Yang first took the 12-year-old to northern China, the boy couldn’t swim, skate or ski. But he wasn’t afraid of the high platform(跳台) and kept on training.
Han almost left the sport after hurting his knee months before the Salt Lake Games. In that Olympics he only got 24th. “I was hopeless at that time, but my family and the coach stood firmly(坚强地) behind me, helping me through,” he recalled.
Han Xiaopeng worked so hard that he won the gold medal in the Olympics at last. Because of his success, more and more people in China are becoming interested in skiing. We are proud of him and we hope he will have another big success in the next winter Olympics.

Writing a good story is not an easy task. What’s the secret? Mo Yan, last year’s Nobel Prize winner in literature, believes his success comes from a large amount of reading.
Mo was born into a farming family in a village in Shandong province. He grew up listening to folk stories about gods, spirits and foxes. Those stories later became the inspiration(灵感) for Mo’s writing.
Mo left school at the age of 12 and started to work in the fields.
Although he was tired after his daily hard work, Mo was always hungry for books. However, there were very few in the village. He read his older brother’s textbooks and even dictionaries. He helped others with farm work in exchange for books.
“When I finished reading all the books around, I thought I was the most knowledgeable man in the world,” he told Xinhua.
After Mo left his hometown and joined the army in 1976, he began to read widely, including works by Lu Xun and many other famous writers. He studied from these writers but did not copy them. Instead, he developed his own style. As the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in literature, Mo told a group of reporters in his hometown shortly after he won the award. “I grew up in an environment filled with folk culture. It enters my novels whenever I pick up a pen. This has affected, even decided, my style.”

It"s not easy to be an astronaut"s son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he"s so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was class monitor and captain of the football team.

Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special-like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father"s Day writing competition for the whole school. "I hope we have a winner right here in my class."
When I got home, I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. No, :I wouldn"t start like that. That was the way others saw him. How did I see my father? Hmm...
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how he hugged(拥抱 ) me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, he wasn"t just a world-famous astronaut. He was my dad.
My parents and l went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(耸肩 ).
The third prize was announced and it was not me. I was relieved and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me.
I went up to the stage and read what I had written, "My father"s son". When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears (眼泪 ) were running down my mother"s face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder.“Son, this is the proudest moment of my life."
It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I"ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father"s son.
