24、“Did you go skating a lot last year?” I asked. Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends who lived on a farm. I especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”

Until then, I didn’t think about how Jen felt. She had a new stepfather (继父) and stepbrother, and had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake where Dad and I went every summer, and she had to move up north with us. She had more changes than me.

Jen seemed sad, so I was busy thinking of some ways to cheer her up on Thanksgiving. I told her my plan and she was excited. First we made a huge snowball, and then a small snowball. Then we built a wall behind the big snowball as a tail. Jen mixed some food coloring with water, saying, “We can spray (喷) colors on the tail.” Our snow turkey had a red, blue, green, and yellow tail. We were so busy that we didn’t notice our parents come outside. Dad found a hat for the snow turkey, and Mom wrapped her scarf around its neck.

“Thanks for cheering Jen up,” Mom said. “You’re a good brother, and you always come up with great ideas.’’ A happy feeling spread through me. I began to understand how much she cared about everyone in our new family.

26、阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。

The next time you are out walking your dog, be sure to keep your eyes on the ground. Maybe you can find some treasures. That is exactly what happened to a California couple who recently happened to find the most valuable ancient gold in North America.

John and Mary, a couple, lived in Northern California's Gold Country.One day they were walking their dog along the road as usual. However, this time around, John noticed a rusty bottle sticking out(凸出) from the ground. They decided to take a closer look, and then they unearthed it with a stick and took it home.

The can was very heavy, making the couple guess that it was filled with paint. However, when John opened it and saw the side of a shiny coin, he knew he had found gold!

The couple immediately returned to the area with a small shovel to see if there were any more bottles to be found. Sure enough, they found one more. This one had broken and scattered(散开) all its treasures into the ground below. And that was not all—over the next few days the couple found six more in the area. According to the dates of the coins, as well as, the conditions of the metal cans, experts believe that the gold was buried sometime in the late 19th century, right after the California's Gold Rush. John thought that the can that was sticking out, was a mark for whoever buried the treasure there. For reasons that nobody will ever know, he/she never returned to get it back.

【1】What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?

A. We should look at the ground while walking.

B. The couple found ancient gold while walking.

C. John and Mary usually walked the dog together.

【2】The underlined word “unearthed” means “________ ” in Chinese.

B. what was in the cans

C. how the can was found

27、

The mystery stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are famous all over the world.

The detective in his stories is called Sherlock Holmes. He solves mysteries in a most surprising way. His assistant, Dr. Watson, watches with admiration and then writes up the story of the mystery afterwards.

This is a useful story writing skill. Because Watson is not very clever, the story remains a mystery until the end. The readers can sometimes pick up some clues before he does! Then, to make Watson understand the mystery, Holmes has to explain it all, step by step. So we, the readers, get to see it step by step too. Watson is almost as good a character in the story as Sherlock Holmes!

The very first time they meet, Holmes greatly surprises Watson. When they are first introduced, Holmes says to Watson, “How do you do? I see you have been to Afghanistan.”

Watson is too amazed by this. Watson has, indeed, been to Afghanistan. Later, he asks Holmes about it. Holmes explains that there is nothing magical about what he does. He gets to know it all by very, very careful observation (观察) .

Observation One

Watson was introduced to Holmes as a doctor. Yet Holmes thought that the way he stood and walked made him seem like a soldier. So, this meant he was probably an army doctor.

Observation Two

Watson’s face was quite dark-skinned. But his wrists (手腕) were pale. So his dark face was probably sun burnt. This meant that he had been to a hot, sunny country. As he was a working doctor, this was not a holiday. He must have gone with the army.

Observation Three

At the time, the British army had soldiers at bases in many parts of the world. So there were still a lot of places to choose from. However, Holmes saw that Watson looked very tired and he was always holding his left arm, as if it was painful. So, he had probably been with the army to a place where they were fighting. There was only one place where the British army was fighting at that time: Afghanistan.

【1】Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ________.

A．writes famous mystery stories

B．is Sherlock Holmes’s assistant

C．is a detective in mystery stories

【2】The writer most probably created the character, Dr. Watson, to ________.

A．show Holmes’ careful observation

B．get readers to see the mystery step by step

C．give Holmes help when solving mysteries

【3】The first time they meet, ________.

A．Watson tells Holmes he has been to Afghanistan

B．Holmes explains how he knows Watson has been to Afghanistan

C．Holmes surprises Watson by telling that Watson has been to Afghanistan

【4】From the passage we know that the British army ________ at that time.

A．only had soldiers in Afghanistan

B．was fighting with Afghanistan

C．was fighting with several countries

28、阅读下面短文，然后根据括号内所给汉语意思写出单词的正确形式（每空一词）。

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台） in her【1】（总的） store. Before long, she let me sit there by myself. I quickly learned the importance of 【2】（对待） customers politely and saying “thank you”.

At first I was paid in candy. Later I 【3】（接收） 50 cents an hour. I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. Watching my money grow was well 【4】（值得） anything.

By the time I was 【5】（十二） years old, my grandmother thought I had 【6】（表现） so well that she encouraged me to sell cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers 【7】（直接地） in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted. My grandma’s trust taught me how to get 【8】（机会） and be responsible.

The job taught me a 【9】（更安全的） lesson: To be a successful salesperson, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist—you need to listen to customers. I expect they are no longer women asking something from me. 【10】（反而）, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.
