destination, purpose and excuse. If I went to a friend"s house and found him not at home, his mother might
say, "Oh, he"s out in the woods," with a tone (语气) of airy acceptance. It"s similar to the tone people
sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I"m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even
"away from his desk." For us ten-year-olds, "being out in the woods" was just an excuse to do whatever we
feel like for a while.
We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring (探索). Exploring was
a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations,
though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. Say we
stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly
persuaded was an Italian burial mound.
Often we got "lost" and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which
someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and
we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we
visited regularly-tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.
It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us has
reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence (青春期). In March, the month when we
usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and
all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that were really rather big to be up in a tree. Soon
there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria. | | 1. The author and his friends were often out in the woods to _____. | | [ ] | A. spend their free time
B. play golf and other sports
C. avoid doing their schoolwork
D. keep away from their parents | | 2. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? | | [ ] | A. The activities in the woods were well planned.
B. Human history is not the result of exploration.
C. Exploration should be a systematic activity.
D. The author explored in the woods aimlessly. | | 3. The underlined word "skeptical" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____. | | [ ] | A. calm
B. doubtful
C. serious
D. optimistic | | 4. How does the author feel about his childhood? | | [ ] | A. Happy but short.
B. Lonely but memorable.
C. Boring and meaningless.
D. Long and unforgettable. | | 完形填空。 | This was the morning, when Jeremy, l4 years old, was to begin his duck shooting. He had 1 the whole
idea ever since his father had bought him 2 and had promised him a 3 to this island. But he loved his
father and wanted to 4 him.
They came to the beach. To ease the sense of fear, he took a 5 of his father, then he put the camera
aside and picked up the gun. His father said happily, "I"ve been 6 a long time for this day. I"ll let you 7 ."
He leaned (屈身) forward, eyes narrowed. "There is a small flight (一群) now. Keep your head down; I"ll give
you the 8 ."
Jeremy"s heart was beating 9 . "No, don"t let them come, please!" But they came, closer, closer... "Now,
take them!" cried his father. Jeremy felt his body 10 . He stood up, leaned into the gun the 11 his father
taught him. In the same distance, the ducks saw the gunners and flared (突然飞去) wildly. For a second he
hung there balanced between life and death. There was no sound. Jeremy stood 12 , seizing the gun.
"What happened? 13 didn"t you shoot?" his father said in a controlled voice. The boy didn"t answer. His
lips were trembling.
"Because they were so 14 ," he said and burst into tears. He sat down, face buried in his hands and wept.
All 15 of pleasing his father was gone. He had his chance and he failed .

no use, I can"t."
"Hurry, you"ll miss them. Here!" Gold metal touched Jeremy. He 17 up, unbelieving. His father was
handing the camera to him, and said softly, "Quick!," Jeremy stood up and pressed his shutter release (快门)
button in a flash. "I got them!" His face was bright.
Jeremy saw that there was no disappointment in his father"s eyes, 18 pride and love. "I"ll always love
shooting. But that doesn"t mean you 19 . Sometimes it takes as much 20 not to do a thing as to do it." He
paused. "I think you could teach me how to operate that camera." | ( )1. A. hated

D. mind | | 阅读理解。 | When I was a kid, I always used to wonder how in the world my father work outside in the winter
without a coat. It could be minus 20 degrees centigrade and there"d be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps
chopping some wood-his coat thrown aside-wearing a shirt, a cap, and a pair of gloves.
"Aren"t you cold, Dad?" I"d ask. "No," Dad would reply. "I"m not cold-working too hard to be cold."
Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish.
One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright,
clear day-and bitterly cold.
After we"d been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold.
"Daddy, my feet are cold." I said.
"Yeah, it"s cold out here today," he replied.
"Tell you what," he said. "Walk around. Make some circles in the snow. See how many different
patterns you can make. That will get your feet warm."
Now, I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking, "How in the world will walking around
in the snow make my feet warm? Dad must be out of mind."
But he was my father, after all. I made circles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having
so much fun making patterns in the snow. I forgot about my feet being cold.
Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his
coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it, too. "Aren"t
you cold?" my husband asked one winter day. "No," I replied. "I"m not cold-working too hard to be cold."
I hope my husband has decided I"m both tough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks
I"m foolish.
Wherever Dad is in that great big farm in the sky-I"m sure he can"t help but smile whenever I take my
coat off while I"m working outside in the winter. | | 1. When the author"s feet felt cold, her father advised her to ____. | | [ ] | A. go home alone first
B. keep walking in the snow
C. draw pictures in the snow
D. light a fire on the ice | | 2. Hearing her father"s advice, the author thought her father ____. | | [ ] | A. forgettable
B. warm-hearted
