第一節(jié) 閱讀理解

• 1．A few years before my fiftieth birthday，I went on a road trip with one of my best friends from high school.We'd taken many similar trips during our teens and twenties，but as we started raising young children，we didn't have much time for getaways.
     But on this occasion，our kids were old enough to fend for themselves，and we hit the road.We spent the next few hours talking，laughing，listening to music，singing，and generally feeling like carefree teenagers again.
     At some point along the way，we had to stop for gas and snacks and pulled into a gas station.We went inside the store and as we walked back out to the car，I caught a glimpse（瞥見） of a middle-aged woman in the mirrored glass windows of the store.
     She was laughing and talking with another woman，and for just a moment I thought， "Who is that woman？Doesn't she know how ridiculous she looks？" I realised immediately the woman was me.For just that moment，I found myself an outsider，and the judgment came down hard and fast.
     Even though I was feeling young and beautiful and carefree on the inside，my own distorted（扭曲的） self-awareness around aging and appearance quickly brought me back to the reality of who I was on the outside and how I was supposed to behave.
     Somewhere inside of me I believed middle-aged women didn't sing and laugh and act silly.That was reserved for the young and beautiful.
     What if we started a beauty revolution？What if true beauty were defined（定義） by who we are rather than how we look？My own internal（內(nèi)心的） revolution began one summer day in the gas station.I was feeling young and happy，and I almost allowed my self-judgment to steal the joy from the day.But truthfully，I was beautiful that day.
  
  （1）What does the underlined phrase "fend for" in paragraph 2 probably mean？

  
  A．Know about.
  B．Speak for.
  C．Look after.
  D．Pay for.
  （2）Why did the author think she looked ridiculous in the mirrored glass windows？

  
  A．She was with a strange woman.
  B．Her friend took no notice of her.
  C．Her behaviour didn't match her age.
  D．She was too shy to show her beauty.
  （3）How did the author feel about the trip？

  
  A．Excited.
  B．Annoyed.
  C．Regretful.
  D．Frightened.
  （4）What can we infer from the text？

  
  A．Beauty is a light in the heart.
  B．Beauty can be found easily by others.
  C．Beauty comes from elegant behaviours.
  D．Beauty has a close relationship with age.

• 2．Recently，my husband and three kids were playing in the Mediterranean（地中海），swimming and floating in the picture-perfect sea.It was ridiculously beautiful in Majorca，Spain.The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted with storybook sailboats were such beautiful scenes.
     My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world.It was one of the things we talked at length about，when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have.
     Fourteen years later，we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day.It was time to make good on those plans.We renewed our passports，and then packed our bags.We showed our kids the world.It was about experiencing the dozens of flights，trains and taxis together.We showed them how wonderful，how diverse，and how fascinating the world is.We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves，through our own travels.
     But there was something more than that：What we really wanted is to slow down time.We wanted the days to last a bit longer，and the weeks to take their time.The years with our children are going too fast.We wanted to put the brakes on our busy lives for a year，and just be with our kids.We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches，eating breakfast and rushing out of the door in time for school.We needed a family time out.
     It was a wonderful two months in Europe，full of incredible moments.When we look back at our lives，I know we'll be glad we did it.I know we'll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family.

  A．Going to the Mediterranean.

  A．Do good to.
  B．Carry out.
  C．Make up.
  D．Put off.
  （3）What is paragraph 3 mainly about？

  
  A．The travel.
  B．The children.
  C．The transportation.
  D．The diverse world.
  （4）What was the most important in the writer's eyes？

  
  A．Doing everything slowly.

• 23．The first people in Canada crossed the Bering Strait from Asia.In the north the Inuit lived by hunting seals，walruses（海象） and whales.They also hunted caribou（北美馴鹿）.On the west coast people hunted deer，bears and beavers（河貍）.They also fished.On the plains people lived by hunting buffalo.In the east people grew crops of beans，squash（南瓜），maize（玉米） and sunflower seeds.
     The first Europeans to reach Canada were the Vikjye.aigs.In 986 a Viking called Bjarni Herjolfsson was blown off course by a storm and he spotted a new land.However，he sailed away without landjye.aig.In 1001 a man named Leif Eriksson landed in the new land，which he named Vinland （it was part of Canada）.However，Eriksson did not stay permanently.Later the Vikings did establish a colony（殖民地） in North America but they abandoned it because of conflict with the natives.
     However，after the Vikings Canada was forgotten until the end of the 15th century.In 1497 the English king Henry Ⅶ sent an Italian named John Cabot on an expedition across the Atlantic to Newfoundland.Cabot discovered rich fishing waters off the coast of Canada.
      Then in 1534 and in 1535-1536 a Frenchman named Jacques Cartier sailed on two expeditions to Canada.On 10 August 1535 （St Lawrence's Day） he sailed into the St Lawrence River，which he named after the saint.
     However，no permanent European settlements were made in Canada until the early 17th century.In 1603 a Frenchman named Samuel de Champlain sailed up the St Lawrence River.In 1604 he founded Port Royal in Acadia （Nova Scotia）.In 1608 Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec. （The name Quebec is believed to be an Algonquin word meaning a narrow part of a river）.In 1642 the French founded Montreal.The new colony in Canada was called New France.By 1685 the population of New France was about 10，000.By 1740 it was 48，000.
