• 2．At noon，I would race breathlessly home，a ten-minute walk from my school.My mother was waiting for me with pleasure to have lunch while I shared what happened at school.
     I had been picked to be the princess in the school play，and for weeks my mother had rehearsed（排练）my lines so hard with me.But no matter how easily I acted at home，hardly had I stepped on stage when every word escaped me.Finally，my teacher asked me to change to a narrator's （解说员） part.Her word，kindly expressed，still hurt，especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
     I didn't tell my mother what had happened that day.But she sensed my pain.Instead of suggesting we practice my lines，she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
     Under the rose vine，we could see yellow dandelions（蒲公英），as if a painter had touched our landscape with shades of gold.I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. "I'm going to dig up all these weeds，" she said，pulling it up by its roots. "From now on，we'll have only roses in this garden."
     "But I like dandelions，" I argued. "All flowers are beautiful - even dandelions."
     My mother asked thoughtfully， "Yes，every flower gives pleasure in its own way，doesn't it？" I nodded，pleased I had won her over. "And that is true of people too，" she added.I burst into tears，a mixture of relief and regret swelling up as I told her what had happened.
     "But you will be a beautiful narrator，" she said，encouraging me as she did. "The narrator's part is important，too." Composing myself gradually，I began to accept the narrator's part.Then came the performance day.I was still nervous，but it was at that very moment that I found a dandelion in my pocket.It was obvious that my mom secretly put the flower there，which magically gave me confidence.
  
  （1）Why did the author get changed to the narrator's part？

  
  A．She was shy.
  B．She lacked practice.
  C．She disliked the former role.
  D．She totally forgot the lines.
  （2）What did her mother do when the author felt upset？

  
  A．Her mother asked her what happened patiently.
  B．Her mother insisted on her practicing the lines.
  C．Her mother made her realize every role counted.
  D．Her mother immediately encouraged her to cheer up.
  （3）Which of the following can best describe the author's mother？

  
  A．Sympathetic but strict.
  B．Understanding and wise.
  C．Passionate but anxious.
  D．Curious and easy-going.
  （4）What does the text mainly tell us？

• 3．    Imagine you are on a cold mountain with steep rocks around.As you climb higher，the air gets thinner and the sun's rays stronger.Just before you reach the snowline，you find what you came for—a small white flower，the edelweiss，which only grows in alpine areas.
     Plants face many challenges living in alpine areas，and only 200 kinds of plants can grow there.Plants rely on oxygen，water，and sunlight to make their own food through the process of photosynjye.aisis.The alpine means less CO₂，which makes the process more difficult.It also brings plants closer to the sun.The sunlight is so strong that it can burn a plant's leaves.There is little water here，so the soil is dry and rocky.You also won't find high trees because the cold wind would blow them over！
     Alpine plants have advantages that help them survive the bad conditions.Like all alpine plants，the edelweiss stays close to the ground to avoid the wind.The cold water is deep underground，so the edelweiss grows very deep roots.Its leaves have a thick covering，which protects the plant from the wind and the sun's bright rays.All these special characteristics help it grow，but very slowly.
     The edelweiss can live in the conditions，but humans can't.Climbing in the high and cold mountains is dangerous and difficult.This is why the edelweiss became such a special flower.Long ago，a young man would pick an edelweiss flower to prove his love to a girl，although it was risky.Many men died while trying.Getting the flower proved that the man was physically strong，brave，and devoted.
     Alpine plants can't spread seeds，so it's difficult for new plants to grow.Once all the edelweiss flowers are gone in an area，they will not regroup.Governments help protect the edelweiss because it is considered an endangered plant.
  
  （1）The first two paragraphs mainly describe

  .
  A．the process of photosynthesis
  B．the appearance of the edelweiss
  C．the growing environment of the edelweiss
  D．the challenge of mountain climbing
  （2）The edelweiss can survive in the alpine conditions partly because

  .
  A．it grows high and strong
  B．it can get more sunlight
  C．its leaves' covering is thin
  D．its deep roots can get water
  （3）What can we learn about the edelweiss from the text？

  
  A．It is planted in large quantities.
  B．It is a symbol of bravery.
  C．It is a shade loving plant.
  D．It spreads its seeds by wind.
  （4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？

  
  A．To introduce a special flower.
  B．To compare different alpine plants.
  C．To warn people not to pick flowers.
  D．To encourage people to protect plants.

• 19．I was doing so me shopping in a toy store and decided to look at Barbie dolls for my nieces.A well-dressed little girl was excitedly looking through the Barbie dolls as well，with a roll of money tight in her little hand.When she came upon a Barbie she liked，she would turn and ask her father if she had enough money to buy it.Her father usually said "Yes"，but she kept asking， "Do I have enough...？"
      As she watched the Barbie dolls，a little boy came along and started searching the Pokemon toys.He was dressed neatly，but in clothes that were obviously rather worm，and he was wearing a jacket that was too small.He also had money in his hand，but it looked to be five dollars at most.He was with his father as well，and kept picking up the Pokemon video toys.Each time he picked one up and looked at his father，his father shook his head，saying "No".
      The little girl had clearly chosen her Barbie，a beautiful doll.However，she had stopped and was watching the communication between the little boy and his father.Rather hopeless，the boy had given up on the video games and had chosen what looked like a book of stickers instead.
      The little girl put her Barbie back on the shelf，and ran over to the Pokemon toys.She excitedly picked up one that was lying on top of the other toys，and raced toward the check-out，after speaking with her father.I picked up my purchases and got in line behind them.Then，much to the little girl's delight，the little boy and his father got in line as well.After the toy was paid and packed，the little girl handed it back to the cashier and whispered something in her ear.The cashier smiled and put the package under the counter.
  注意：
  1.续写词数应为150左右；
  2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
  I was paying for my purchases when the little boy came up to the cashier.
  I heard the father ask his daughter why she had done that.
