Adventure in
by Connie Lee Berry

Adventure in Africa is written for children aged between 7 and 9 and may just be my favorite book in the Incredible Journey Series. In this book the two main characters Max and Sam are taken to an African Safari camp.

Adventure in Africa is one of four books in this series of fluent readers’ paperback travel adventure books by Connie Lee Berry. The font(字体) is quite large and there are roughly a dozen maps, images and illustrations (插图) in the book, which will attract younger readers. As an extra bonus（特别补助）, the back of the book lists some activities for children to do.

There is no believable evidence for the existence of Bigfoot or to put it another way, there's really quite a lot of evidence, but unfortunately it's of very poor quality. That's a problem for Bigfoot-believers, because if the creature really does exist, then it must exist in fairly big numbers. Otherwise, it would long ago have died out.
“Not a single dead body has been found,” said Joe Nickell. “While we can't prove Bigfoot doesn't exist, it's fair to point out that we can't prove that the tooth fairy doesn't exist. We can't prove that there are no leprechauns(小妖精).”
The Bigfoot myth is fueled by human hopes and fears. In that manner it is similar to other myths.
“We are hopeful that we are not alone in the universe, so we believe in extraterrestrials (外星人),” Joe Nickell said. “We are fearful of the unknown, so we imagine monsters (妖怪).”
Woolheater, of the
“What we're trying to do is get some answers and gather hard evidence. I think we're dealing with an animal that is fairly rare,” Woolheater added. “So you're talking about something that is probably a hundred times rarer than a black bear, and certainly a lot more rare than a mountain lion, and those animals aren't seen all that often.”
Meanwhile, the Institute of Texan Cultures is taking a democratic(民主的) approach. The final part of the exhibition gives visitors a chance to vote on whether or not they believe the evidence. On the first day, “yes” outweighed “no” by 178 to 53.
60. According to Joe Nickell, __________.
A. Bigfoot's dead bodies are taken away by extraterrestrials
B. Bigfoot is the result of people's hopes and fears
C. leprechauns don't exist
D. people are polite to Bigfoot
61. According to the text, Woolheater ________.
A. thinks there are no questions about Bigfoot
B. gets his answers from exhibitions
C. believes the strength of voting
D. seems to think Bigfoot exists
62. From the last paragraph we can know __________.
A. the
B. most people believe in the
C. most people think there exists Bigfoot according to the vote
D. the
63. What is a problem for Bigfoot-believers?
A. There is no evidence for the existence of Bigfoot.
B. The evidence for the existence of Bigfoot is not convincing.
C. Bigfoot died out in large numbers long ago.
D. The Texas Bigfoot Research Center provided untrue evidence.
C
Jewelweeds, or Impatiens, are pretty flowers that grow in wet, shady(多荫的) places all over the Northern Hemisphere. According to a recent experiment, they seem to know their own flower family.
The experiment suggests that these flowers can know each other—or at least, know whether or not they came from the same mother plant. Together with other experiments, these results show that if the plants are able to know their siblings (兄弟姐妹), it’s not through their leaves, it’s through the roots.
Guillermo P. Murphy and Susan Dudley are a pair of botanists, or scientists who study plants, from
If people were plants, then this experiment would be like showing that a person behaves differently if he grows up next to his brother than if he grows up next to a stranger.
When jewelweeds were planted in pots with strangers, the plants started to grow more leaves than if they had been planted alone. This response（反应）suggests that plants are competing with strangers for sunlight, since a plant with more leaves can receive more light—and make more food. Impatiens normally grow in the shade, where there is not enough sunlight.
When jewelweed seedlings were planted with siblings, they grew a few more branches than they normally would if they were alone — but they did not start growing lots of extra leaves. This behavior suggests the plants are more likely to share resources（资源）, rather than compete.
The plants only responded this way when they shared soil. If stranger seedlings were planted in different pots and placed next to each other, for example, they did not grow more leaves. This difference shows that the plants must use their roots to notice sibling plants in the same soil.
64. What is the main idea of the article?
A. Jewelweeds seem to know their own family. B. Jewelweeds love their siblings.
C. Jewelweeds share resources with others D. Jewelweeds grow in wet shady places
65. A plant with more leaves __________.
A. are likely to share more resources B. receive more competition
C. are likely to make more food D. hardly receive enough sunlight
66. From the passage, we learn that __________.
A. the flowers grow extra leaves when planted alone
B. the flowers know their siblings through their roots
C. the flowers can make friends with stranger plants
D. the flowers grow more branches when planted with strangers

I never got along well with Dad. But when he was dying, I set off for
The pool area was empty as I walked into the still water. A man in a bathing suit appeared. He sat on the edge of the pool with his legs moving up and down in the water. He had dark hair and deep brown eyes and smiled. ‘Where are you going?’ he asked. When I told him about my father, he asked how we got along. I tried to change the subject, but then for some reason, I told him everything.
Finally the man said, ‘Even with all the trouble, remember, your father still loves you.’ All at once, warm and clear childhood memories came flooding back: Dad running alongside my wobbling (摇摆的) bicycle, the proud hug he gave me at my high school graduation, his laugh when I caught him off guard with a tickle(挠痒). ‘Yes, I know he does,’ I heard myself say. And for the first time in years I believed it. The man left, leaving me alone with my comforting thoughts.
Back in my room, as I went to bed, I decided it was time to forgive（原谅） my father. Then I wished he’d forgiven me too. The phone bell woke me up at

B. That the man by the pool mentioned his interesting childhood.

第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个恰当的单词。
Many people find good friends but they fail to continue with their friendship, because they do not know their role as a friend. Let us see some important points that we should take care of if we wish to be a good friend for someone.
Be a secret admirer(崇拜者) of your friend: If your friend is good at something, then do not praise him just in front of him. Praising a person for what he is good at does not improve his qualities. It surely will do harm to your friend. A good friend should never miss an opportunity to praise his friend in front of others when he is not around.
Pull your friend away from making mistakes: If your friend is doing something wrong, it is your duty to let him know it at earliest. Keep in mind a best friend has to play a role of critic(批评家) if he wants his friend to stop doing wrong things. But keep in mind not to show your friend’s mistakes in front of other people. It will spoil （损害） your friend’s image in others’ view. And besides your friendship will be in danger. Sometimes it is important to understand your friend’s intentions(意图) behind his actions and try to analyze (分析) situation, then only you should give your opinion.
Try to understand your friend: It is always important to understand what your friend is worried about or what problems he is facing. Always try to understand the situation your friend is in and try to calm him. It is obvious （明显的） that if people have some problems, they will not speak up their problems to their brothers or sisters, they will instead tell everything to their friends. Let your friend speak up, just listen to him and be with him until your friend feels better.
Try to teach good things: If you are a true friend, you should never give your hungry friend a fish, instead, you should teach him how to fish. This will give your friend food for lifetime. A good friend will never wish his friend to be dependent on someone.
Do not interfere(妨碍): The most important point that one should take care of is that your friend has his own life and you should not interfere in his life. You have a right to tell your friend what is good and what is bad, but you do not have a right to make someone do what you wish.
Hope this will help you out solve some of your problems you are facing in friendship.
Tips for 71 Good Relationship
| Key points | Know your 72 as a friend |
| Be a secret admirer of your friend | Don’t think highly of your friend when he is around, which surely will be 73 to him. |
| Point out your friends’ mistake as 74 as possible. | When finding your friend is doing something wrong, you’d better let him know it but 75 not to do that in front of others. |
| Try to 76 your friend | When your friend has something to worry about or has problems, let him speak up and listen to him. Try to keep him 77 . |
| Try to teach something good | Teach your friend the 78 to solve problems. Try not to let him 79 on others. |
| Let your friend have his own life | 80 all, don’t interfere in your friend’s life, for he has his own life. |

Now I still remember what happened to me one day when I was seven years old. The day I was playing with my younger brother Philip beside the well near our house in the country. Suddenly I fell into the well. Luckily the water was not deep. I was frightened standing in the water, and so was Philip. He was only five. Our parents were not at home. They were working in the cotton field.
Then Philip looked down at me and told me to wait. He ran away and after a while came back with a long rope. What could he do? He was small and not strong enough to pull me up out of the well. He tied one end of the rope to a tree nearby and threw the other end to me. Then I climbed up the rope and got out of the well. I thanked Philip, It was Philip, my young brother of five , who saved my life. I will never forget that.联系客服
