• 1．The ancient village of Machu Picchu is one of the most popular tourist destinations in South America.It's in Peru，high in the Andes Mountains，8，000 feet above sea level.
     The village contains 200 buildings.Houses are in groups，and each house has a large courtyard inside its walls.The Incas（印加人）used the areas outside the groups of houses to grow corn and potatoes and to raise animals.The Incas were very good at building strong walls.Visitors to Machu Picchu still cannot fit a knife between the stones of a village home.
     Machu Picchu seemed to be a healthy，busy village.So why was it lost？That is a mystery，but experts have some ideas.Machu Picchu was hard to reach.Few people outside the village knew about it.Experts think that many residents died of disease.Others fought a war.The survivors left the village.

• 2．    One night Peter received a call from his social worker asking， "Can you take in an 11-year-old boy just for the weekend？" It was just a few days after he had said goodbye to two brothers he was fostering（收養(yǎng)），so he told the social worker that his heart was deeply saddened by the loss of the two boys that had just been reunited with their birth parents.Peter thought he didn't have enough energy left to care for another child at the moment.But the worker convinced him.
      The social worker arrived at his home with the boy at 6 am after driving five hours from another county.There is a huge shortage of foster families in Oklahoma so when a child enters the foster care system，social workers are often forced to place the children outside of the county of origin，often removing the child from the only place he or she has ever known.Add in the fact that older children are much more difficult to place.
      Peter asked why Anthony，the boy，was in foster care.Then he knew that the boy had been abandoned（拋棄）by his mother when he was 2.He was then placed with a family.But almost ten years later，the family abandoned him at the hospital.Peter was shocked，" It's like my life!"
      The two have been together ever since.And on the 12th of November，Anthony finally got to share Peter's last name officially.However，Peter didn't stop fostering kids. "It's hard to be a single foster dad but it's worth every minute of it.We are about to have another child next month and we are excited."
  
  （1）What can we infer about Peter from the first paragraph？

  
  A．He is rich.
  B．He is kind.

  （2）Why did the social worker drive a long way to send the boy to Peter？

  B．He knew Peter liked the boy.
  C．Peter lived in the boy's birthplace.
  D．He couldn't find a foster family locally.
  （3）What do Peter's words in Paragraph 3 show？

• 9．I grew up in a small town where the primary school was a ten-minute walk from my house.When the noon bell rang，I would race breathlessly home.My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs，smiling down at me.
      One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will stay with me always.I had been picked to be the princess in the school play，and for weeks my mother had rehearsed（排練）my lines so hard with me.But no matter how easily I acted at home，as soon as I stepped onstage，every word disappeared from my head.Finally，my teacher took me aside.She explained that she had written a narrator's（旁白的）part to the play，and asked me to change roles.Her words，kindly expressed，still hurt，especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
      I didn't tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day.But she sensed my pain.Instead of suggesting we practice my lines，she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
  It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine（藤蔓）was turning green.Under the huge trees，we could see yellow dandelions（蒲公英）in the grass in bunch，as if a painter had touched our landscape with gold.I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. "I think 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 protested. "All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions."
      My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes，every flower gives pleasure in its own way，doesn't it？" She asked thoughtfully.I nodded，pleased that I had won her over. "And that is true of people too，" she added. "Not everyone can be a princess，but there is no shame in that." Relieved that she had guessed my pain，I started to cry as I told her what had happened.She listened and smiled.

  1．所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
