Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie. Then we worked out a plan: when Christie takes one of her children out, I will watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.

The children were very quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with a great many questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a

different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quietly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to try to draw attention.

Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand more often. My stuttering (口吃的) son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children, works as a leader during our times together.

The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child－ talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves (应得到) to be an only child at least once in a while. 43. What is the text mainly about?

A. The experience of the only child being with mother. B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time. C. The happy life of two families. D. The basic needs of children.

44. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________. A. happy B. curious（好奇的） C. regretful（后悔的） D. friendly 45. What is one of the changes the writer finds in her children? A. The daughter acts like a leader. B. Sam holds her hand more often. C. The boys become better followers. D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.

46. The writer seems to believe that_____________. A. having brothers and sisters is fun B. it’s tiring to look after three children C. every child needs parents’ full attention D. parents should watch others’ children (C)

Australia, the last continent, was discovered by ships belonging to some European nations in the seventeenth century. These nations were less interested in changing it into a colony (殖民地) than in exploring it. As in the early history of the United States, it was the English who set

up the settlements (新拓居地) in Australia. The history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well.

Australia and the United States are about the same in size, and their western lands are both not rich in soil. It was the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west. However, this westward movement took place more because the English were searching for better land than because the population was increasing. Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was discovered in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later.

Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there are some striking differences as well. The United States gained its independence from England by revolution () while Australia won its independence without having to go to war. Australia, unlike the United States, was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising. By 1922, for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people, or almost half as many sheep as there are people today in the United States. Yet, in spite of these and other main differences, Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.

47. Who turned Australia into a colony? A. The UK. B. Several European countries.

C. The United States of America. D. None of the above.

48. In the early history of America and Australia, both colonies developed towards the west firstly for the reason that __________.

A. the population was increasing rapidly in the east B. the English thought there might be richer land there C. gold was discovered there D. fewer people lived there

49. Australia, unlike the United States, ________. A. won its independence by peaceful means B. did not discover gold until the late 1840s

C. was the last and biggest continent to be discovered D. was not rich in gold in its western part

50. The last sentence in the last paragraph “… Australia and the United States have more in

common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world” means “__________”.

A. The United States and Australia do not have any main differences

B. The United States and Australia have much more in common than they have with other countries

C. The United States and Australia have nothing in common with the rest of the world D. In common with the rest of the world, the United States and Australia have a lot of differences

Many animals know their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses (感觉官能)when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense. Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is

good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

1. Do most animals use only one sense to find and choose their food? 2. Do white butterflies just eat one kind of food or more? 3. How many senses does the passage mention? 4. What are bad for our health according to the writer? 5. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? 四、文段表达。（共12分）
