When the lazy days of summer arrive and the schedule is packed with swimming,camp,and family vacations,it can be a challenge to find time for learning. But kids’ reading skills don’t have to grow cold once school’s out. Here are some ways to make reading a natural part of their summer fun.
Explore your library. Visit your local library to check out books and magazines that your kids haven’t seen before. Many libraries have summer reading programs,book clubs,and reading contests for even the youngest borrowers. With a new library card,a child will feel extra grown­up checking out books.
Read on the road. Going on a long car trip?Make sure the back seat is stocked with favorite reads. When you’re not at the wheel,read the books aloud. Get some audiobooks (many libraries have large selections)and listen to them together during driving time.
Make your own books. Pick one of your family’s favorite parts of summer—whether it’s baseball,ice cream,or the pool—and have your child draw pictures of it or cut out pictures from magazines. Stick the pictures onto paper to make a booklet and write text for it. When you’re done,read the book together. Reread it whenever you like!
Keep in touch. Kids don’t have to go away to write about summer vacation. Even if your family stays home,they can send postcards to tell friends and relatives about their adventures. Ask a relative to be your child’s pen pal and encourage them to write each week.
Keep up the reading habits. Even if everything else changes during the summer,keep up the reading routines around your house. Read with your kids every day—whether it’s just before bedtime or under a shady tree on a lazy afternoon. And don’t forget to take a book to the beach!Just brush the sand off the pages—it’s no sweat!

试题【When the lazy days of summer arrive and the schedule is packed with swimming,cam】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Going Zero Waste means more than just managing the rubbish we create.It means reducing it too.While it might seem like a difficult thing to do, it"s well worth it.And what better time to start than Christmas?
We need to copy the way Nature wastes nothing.Many things are created by human society that we know will soon become useless and be thrown out.How many plastic bottles or even PCs end up in the rubbish bin? Instead,we should design products that can be more easily repaired,reused and recycled.
Kamikatsu, a Japanese village,has already gone Zero Waste.The 2,000 villagers compost their leftovers,and recycle everything else.There are 34 different boxes at the re-cycling centre! Residents grumble about the inconvenience,but they also see the benefits.
People who live Zero Waste lives are careful about what they do.They never take more than they need.Reusing plastic bags at supermarkets is a great way to reduce waste.And those who plan before they shop avoid having to throw food out later.Also,it’s best not to go food shopping when you’re hungry:You’ll be sure to buy too much!
Let’s think about how to enjoy a Zero Waste Christmas.By sending recyclable cards,we can help our friends and family reduce waste.And what better way to enjoy the spirit of Christmas than with a real tree that can be replanted in the spring?
Going Zero Waste requires us to think more about what happens before and after we act.It takes ambition,and it"s not always easy.But just think how good it would be,both for ourselves and for the environment, if we never had to waste anything.
小题1:When is this passage probably written?
A.After a Christmas.B.Before Zero Waste starts.

The Iceberg Was Only Part ofIt
What doomed the Titanic is well known, at least in outline. On a moonless night of April 15, 1912, the ship hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic ,with 1,500 lives lost.
A century later many people presented new theories to explain the real reason for the disaster. Now two new studies argue that rare states of nature played major roles in the disaster.
The first says Earth’s nearness to the Moon and the Sun — a proximity not matched in more than 1,000 years — resulted in record tides that help explain why the Titanic met with so much ice, including the fatal iceberg.
Recently, a team of researchers found an apparent explanation in the heavens. They discovered that Earth had come unusually close to the Sun and Moon that winter, enhancing their gravitational pulls on the ocean and producing record tides. The rare orbits took place between December 1911 and February 1912 — about two months before the disaster came about. The researchers suggest that the high tides refloated masses of icebergs traditionally stuck along the coastlines of Labrador and Newfoundland and sent them adrift into the North Atlantic shipping lanes.
And a second, put forward by a Titanic historian from Britain, contends that the icy waters created ideal conditions for an unusual type of mirage(海市蜃楼) that hid icebergs from lookouts whose duty was to watch carefully for danger ahead and confused a nearby ship as to the liner’s identity, delaying rescue efforts for hours.
Most people know mirages as natural phenomena caused when hot air near the Earth’s surface bends light rays upward. In a desert, the effect prompts lost travelers to mistake patches of blue sky for pools of water. But another kind of mirage occurs when cold air bends light rays downward. In that case, observers can see objects and settings far over the horizon. The images often undergo quick distortions — not unlike the wavy reflections in a funhouse mirror.
Now, scholars of the Titanic are debating these new theories. Some have different opinions on it. Over all, though, many experts are applauding the fresh perspectives. 
小题1:The underlined word "It" in the title probably refers to _______.
A.the TitanicB.the cause of the disaster
C.the record tideD.an unusual mirage
小题2:According to Theory First, what was the right chain of causes leading to the Titanic’s disaster?
① record tides’ forming and icebergs’ being refloated
② icebergs’ being drifted into the North Atlantic shipping lanes
③ the Earth’s strange closing to the Sun and the Moon
④ increasing of the gravitational force on the ocean
A.①→②→③→④B.②→③→④→①C.④→③→②→①D.③→④→①→②
小题3:According to Theory Second, the disaster happened to the Titanic mainly because______.
A.the freezing weather made the watcher not be able to watch clear
B.the mirage made the watcher not find icebergs and a nearby ship delay rescuing
C.the mirage on the sea attracted the watcher and made him forget his work
D.the high tides drove the icebergs float so fast that the watcher didn’t respond to them
小题4:What is the chief function of the sixth paragraph?
A.to explain to the readers the ways of the mirage forming
B.to infer the possibility of the mirage appearing
C.to summarize the various kinds of the mirage
D.to analyze the conditions of the mirage arising

No one doubts that students should study languages, maths and science in high school, but some may object to the idea that they should study art and music as well. To them, these subjects are useless for students’ future and are not worth the time and effort. In my opinion, however, it is necessary for middle school students to study art and music.
Art and music are a precious culture legacy(遗产), which bring us pleasure and enjoyment. Have you ever been deeply moved by Beethoven’s famous Fifth Symphony(第五交响曲)? Have you ever been fascinated by the colorful starry night produced by Vincent Van Gogh in his paint? Have you ever longed for the moving love between the Butterfly Lovers when you hear this well-known Chinese melody(曲调)? Art and music are not only images and sounds, but something beyond them. They are the products of passion and human wisdom(智慧).
Art and music help make students more creative. Artists and musicians are considered the most creative people in the world. It is because art and music sharpen their senses and provide a different perspective (视角) for them to see the world. Many great scientists benefited from art and music. Einstein, the greatest physicist in the 20th century, as well as an excellent violin player, is a good example.
Enjoying art and music is also a good way to relax. Middle school students, who typically carry heavy burdens of study, will definitely(明确地)benefit from it.
To sum up, art and music should absolutely be included in the middle school courses, for they can bring students pleasure and relaxation.
小题1:According to the author, people who think art and music are useless for middle school students __________.
A.don’t understand the value of art and music

小题2:In paragraph 2, the author tries to argue that __________.
A.Beethoven is one of the greatest musicians
B.art and music help express people’s emotions
C.art and music are precious pictures and sounds
D.art and music bring people joy and quality life
小题3:The example of Einstein is used to __________.
A.show the importance of creativity
B.prove that scientists are creative
C.encourage students to study art and music
D.provide students with a new way to see the world

Animals like the lion are known as carnivorous (meat-eating) animals. They feed on smaller animals. But many other animals eat grass or plants. They are called herbivorous (plant-eating) animals.
You may be surprised to learn that there are carnivorous plants as well as carnivorous animals. Plants that grow in poor soil need other food. They trap (catch by a trick) small insects (昆虫) and take their bodies as food.
The pitcher plant (猪笼草) is a common carnivorous plant. This plant has a clever trap like a pitcher or jar. It even has a lid to keep out of the rain. The mouth of the pitcher is covered with something sweet like honeydew(蜜露). Insects come to the plant to feed on the honeydew. When they have eaten all that is round the mouth, they go into the pitcher to look for more. There is more honeydew deep in the pitcher and they go down to feed on it. The inner wall of the pitcher is covered with fine hairs. These hairs point downwards so that the insects cannot climb out of the pitcher. They are trapped in it. They die there, and their bodies are taken as food by the plant.
小题1:Animals are divided into two kinds.
A.carnivorous animals and meat-eating animals
B.herbivorous animals and plant-eating animals
C.carnivorous animals and herbivorous animals
D.meat animals and plant animals

A.Tigers, lions and other meat-eating animals are called carnivorous animals.
B.Zebras, elephants and common farm animals are known as herbivorous animals.
C.All plants get food only from the soil.
D.It is something like honeydew in the pitcher that insects come to food on.
小题3:From this passage, we can mainly learn that       .
A.Not all plants are carnivorous
B.All plants are herbivorous
C.Not all animals are carnivorous
D.Carnivorous plants can also be found
