答案
解析
17．D。
18．D。 think of“想到某事”。know of知道某事的有关情况；remember“记起”是及物动词，其后不须接of，故不选。
19．A。联系上文，主人拿起热水瓶，故离开的时候是把热水瓶放在桌上，而不是“茶杯”或“盖子”或“茶”。
20．B。主人离开后，客人“仍然”坐在那里。enjoy表“喜欢做某事”，imagine“想象”，hate “憎恶”都与题意不符。
21．C。父亲正要端杯子喝茶，这时候传来“破裂声”，有东西打破了，crash即“爆裂声”，“撞击声”，noise指嗓音；此句并不是指某人来了，故不能选A或B
22．D。look over one’s shoulder指“某人转头看”。
23．A。女孩转头看，盯着破裂的热水瓶，watch指下意识的观察，不合题意。
24．C。从后句中可以看出，他们并没有碰开水瓶，而开水瓶破了，故是“奇怪的事”。
25．B。破的是热水瓶，因此应该是“冒蒸气的地板”。
26．A。父亲解释是因为自己“碰了”热水瓶所以它破了。因此用touch。
27．C。reflection指镜子中或静水中的“映像”，从前文中我们可以知道女孩在窗前看花，因而是从玻璃中看到了她父亲的“映像”，而不是“影子”。
28．B。坐着不动用still。
29．C。父亲和女儿对这一事件发生原因的不同看法，父亲从成人的观点出发，觉得自己承担责任更好，女儿认为不应说谎，父亲觉得女儿天真，所以“笑着说”即laughed。
30．D。
31．A。do与 will连用常表“合适的”“有用的”“行”。
32．C。指“可以接受的”。
33．A。父亲向女儿解释原因。
34．D。女儿“陷入了沉默”be lost in silence。
35．B。“只能这样解释吗？”

举一反三
Many people believe the glare from snow causes snowblindness. Yet, dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness, when exposed to several hours of “snow light”. The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow-covered country. A man"s eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of barren snow-covered terrain(地域). So his long look continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offers this discomfort by producing more and more liquid which covers the eyeball. The liquid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until vision became not clear, and then is not easily seen and the result is total, even though not very long, snowblindness.
Experiments led the Army to a simple method of solving this problem. Scouts, ahead of a main body of troops, are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their eyes focus on a bush and have something to see. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is solved.
1. The first paragraph is mainly concerned with ________.
A. need for dark glasses
B the whiteness from snow
C. headaches, watering eyes and snowblindness
D. snow glare and snowblindness
2. According to the author, recent work on snowblindness shows that it is caused by ________.
A. exposure to bright light
B. failure to focus on an object
C. a loss of vision which doesn"t last long
D. focusing on dark colored objects for a very long time
3. Suppose you walk across a completely snow-covered area, what should you do to solve the problem of snowblindness?
A. By wearing dark sun glasses.
B. By throwing an extra pair of black shoes ahead.
C. By asking the Army for help.
D. By walking backwards.
4. A suitable title for this passage would be ________.
A. Snowblindness and How to avoid it B. Soldiers in Snow
C. Nature"s Cure for Snowblindness D. Snow Vision

Most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it’s a chance in a million.
People have made a census (普查) to colors of mor e than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black.
As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights.The wave length of each light is different, so the quantity of heat in each light is also different. Flowers, especially their petals, are easy to be harmed by light temperature.
Black flowers can take in all the light waves which cause the flowers to dry up in the high temperature. So black flowers can rarely survive sunlight. But red flowers, yellow flowers and orange flowers can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting the red light, yellow light and orange light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.
1. It is _____ to see a black flower.
A. impossible B. seldom C. common D. no chance
2. From the passage we know that _______.
A. black flowers are so weak that it is difficult for them to grow up.
B. there are only eight black flowers in nature
C. sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights, so the wave length of each light is different
D. black flowers can take in the light of all the wave length which makes them dry up because of high temperature
3. Which of the following ideas is WRONG?
A. People have found that only a few kinds of flowers are black.
B. Flowers are easy to be harmed by very high temperature.
C. Red, orange and yellow flowers can also take in the light of all wave lengths.
D. The black flowers can’t protect themselves from sunlight.

When the kids get home from school, don’t let them go straight to the TV and get settled in. Encourage them to get moving and get off the couch(长椅) by giving them a pedometer(计步器).

Get the whole family out of the house together and over to a park. Bring lots of sports equipment, pack a healthy picnic and have a family competitive sports day.

After everyone has played hard for a couple of hours, stop for a picnic and then if your family isn’t too tired, go back and play some more.
Sunday
Every child loves to play video games and there is no better time to allow kids to play them than on Sunday when no homework is due（应交的）.But don’t let them play a game that forces them to sit down for hours. Dance games with a floor mat(垫子) to help kids follow the dance moves are popular to kids.
