When Jack Prelutsky was a kid in New York more than fifty years ago, he didn't know he would grow up to write poetry for children.
Neither of his parents read poetry to him when he was little. When his fourth-grade teacher read poems in class, he thought they seemed boring. To nine -year-old Prelutsky, poetry seemed like serious business. And Prelutsky was anything but serious. "I wanted to hear poems about myself—about outer space and sports and music," he says. "So I started to think of poetry as punishment."
Prelutsky had always taken voice and piano lessons, but when he attended New York's High School of Music and Art, his love for music grew deeper. "I liked the way songs said what they had to say —the simple, direct, ordinary language they employed. I really think that's what made me see poetry in a new light."
Then Prelutsky took a drawing class in his early twenties and found he wasn't very good at life drawing. But he was good at drawing imaginary animals.
In six months, Prelutsky drew a lot of imaginary animals with strange characteristics. He loved each one, but felt something was missing. "Then one evening, I looked at them and said, 'They need poems.' I still don't know why I thought of it, but within half an hour, I had all the poems written."
Publishing the poems never crossed Prelutsky's mind in those early days. But when friends fell in love with his poems, he agreed to share them with a children's book editor.
"She didn't think much of my illustrations（插图）," he says, "but she told me that I was a natural poet and encouraged me to keep writing."
At the time, Prelutsky was surprised at the editor's encouragement. But more than forty books later, he's still making friends and fans laugh. From monsters to frogs, Prelutsky has turned silly into an art form.
41. What can we learn about Prelutsky when he was a kid
A. He hated poetry.
B. He took sports seriously.

D. He developed an interest in business.
42. What did Prelutsky think of music

A. It drove him to love music.
B. It brought out his poetic skills.
C. It raised his confidence in writing.
D. It helped him become a famous painter.
44. How did the editor feel about Prelutsky's poems
A. She gave them high praise.
B. She was surprised by them.
C. She refused to publish them.
D. She showed no interest in them.
45. What is a characteristic of Prelutsky's poems
A. They are funny.
B. They are encouraging.
C. They are person-centered.
D. They are family-friendly.

Heimaey is a small island off the southern coast of Iceland of just 4,200 people. But with its neighboring islands, it hosts the world's largest puffin colony （海鹦群）. Each spring, more than 1.5 million puffins go to the islands to breed. Around August, puffin chicks make their way to the ocean. That's when the trouble begins.
Instinct（直觉） tells puffin chicks to leave the nest at night and follow the light of the moon to the sea. But they are puzzled by Heimaey's bright lights. Each year, a large number of them end up lost— or worse. Often, lost birds are hit by cars or eaten by cats.
Each breeding season, the children of Heimaey start their own middle-of-the-night adventure, which is called the Puffling Patrol. They get together to form search parties and take to the streets of Heimaey. "When you see a bird, you try to corner it and guide it into the box," Eldur Hansen, a 14-year-old boy said. He has caught several puffins this way.
Then kids take birds home. The next morning, they take them to the beach for release（放走）. Over the years, kids have even developed a gentle method. "You do not throw them like a baseball," Eldur says. "You hold them in both hands. Then you spread your arms out in front of you and let go, so the bird is given as much energy as possible."
Before releasing puffin chicks, they make a stop at the local animal center, where the birds are weighed and tagged （附上标签）, for tracking purposes. This helps scientists learn more about puffins.
Erpur Hansen, Eldur's dad, is with the South East Iceland Nature Research Center. "Thanks to data collected with kids' help, we scientists have learned that puffin chicks now weigh less than in previous years. That means they have a lower chance of survival," he says.
Scientists worry puffins will die out completely. But the kids of Heimaey give energy to Erpur Hansen. "The message is that people can make a difference," he says. "Each time these kids help a bird get back to the ocean, they show us that."
46. What troubles puffin chicks according to the passage
A. Their nests being destroyed.
B. Following the light of the moon.
C. Their parents being killed by humans.
D. Being unable to find their way to the ocean.
47. Which of the following can be used to describe kids from the Puffling Patrol
A. Strict and shy.
B. Careful and skillful.
C. Sensitive and creative.
D. Intelligent and talkative.
48. Why do kids tag the puffin chicks before releasing them
A. To identify them. B. To track them.
C. To memorize them. D. To protect them.
49. What can we infer from Erpur Hansen's words
A. The Puffling Patrol is of great help.
B. Scientists need little help from children.
C. Puffins do not need protection anymore.
D. Puffins are becoming stronger than before.
50. What can we learn from the children's behaviour
A. Never stop trying.
B. One is never too old to learn.
C. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
D. Everyone should realize their self-worth.

第Ⅱ卷
第三部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Sharing a room with a family member or a friend can be tough, but it becomes especially difficult when you're sharing it with someone you hardly know. Here are things you can do to help you deal with having a roommate, no matter who it may be.
First of all, you have to remember that you get what you give. If you are nice to others, then others will be nice to you as well. You also need to set boundaries for yourself and for the other person. So before your new roommate moves in, talk to him. Set the rules early on and discuss your expectations.
Remember that there are two things that make up any good relationship: trust and respect. The same thing applies to having a roommate. You have to respect each other. Suppose he has that new PS3 game that you've always wanted to try out, what should you do Ask permission first. If he says no, don't take it against him. If he lets you borrow his stuff, take care of the item and treat it as if it were your own. Make sure that you return it in the same condition as when you borrowed it.
For chores that can be shared, you may want to divide it equally so that you don't do all the housework. Take turns in washing the dishes. You may do it every other day or you may split the task so that you only have to do it in the morning and your roommate only has to do it at night.
When it comes to food and grocery items, determine what can be shared. Don't be too mean when it comes to sharing food. The advantage of sharing food is that both of you can save on time and food preparation.
