13.Hundreds of years ago,a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland.The Scots,a brave people,loved their country very much.They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland,but there were too many Romans.It looked as if the Romans would win.
  One night,the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill."We will rest here tonight,my men,"he said."Tomorrow we will fight one more battle.We must win or we will die."
  They were all very tired,so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep.There were four guards on duty,but they,too,were very tired,and one by one,also fell asleep.
  The Romans were not asleep.Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill.Slowly they climbed up the hillside,taking care not to make a sound.Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots.They were almost at the top.A few minutes more,the war would be over.Suddenly,one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟).He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots.In a moment,they were on their feet and ready for battle.The fighting was hard but it did not last long.The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.
  The thistle is not a beautiful plant.It has sharp needles all over it.Few people like it.But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.

分析 本文写了罗马和苏格拉一场力量悬殊的战争,最后以苏格兰的胜利而告终.

解答 20.B 事实细节题.从文章第一段a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland,一支罗马军队从英国北方向苏格兰开战.故选B.
21.B 推理判断题.根据句子but there were too many Romans.It looked as if the Romans would win.因为有太多的罗马军队,好像罗马军队要赢.可以推断出罗马军队是强大的,所以答案选B.
22.D 细节理解题.We must win or we will die.意思是我们别无选择必须得赢否则只有死路一条,所以D选项符合句意.

点评 文章有些长,会影响学生的阅读,但故事却十分有趣.整体文章难度中等.学生在阅读中要不断积累词汇,切不可想当然,如be on one's feet,是站起来的意思,而非光脚的意思.

1.(36)D
Home can be a great place for children to study.It's important to provide a workspace of their own where they can read books or just write a letter to their friends.
●Location (位置)
(37)FKitchen and dining room are not so well suited for regular study,since books and pens get in the way of the day-to-day uses of those areas.Set up a place where a child can settle in and leave papers and pens at hand without having to clear everything away each night.For a child that likes being alone,set aside a corner of his bedroom,but keep it separate from things like games,music and other hobbies not related to studying.
●Keeping Things in Order
Parents should encourage their child to spread out,but to leave it neat and orderly when he isn't using his workspace.Ownership is very important for self-respect (38)A The workplace should be personal,but not another part of the playroom.
●(39)E
Encourage the whole family to help build a supportive environment that children need for success in school.Give them a good example of how to deal with problems,how to manage time and get things done in the right way.(40)G Study will be more enjoyable and effective when supported by the whole family.

A.Attitude Is Everything.
B.Bring Organization into Your Home.
C.Here are several ways to choose a location.
D.Building a Good Home Learning Environment.
E.Hold a can-do attitude and your child will follow your example.
F.Setting up a space in a common area of your home can be a good idea for children.

Dear Mr.Li,
I'm very sorry to have missed the first two lesson this morning.I got up early as usually in the morning,but when I was ready to leave I find my bicycle's front tyre (轮胎)flat.I wanted to take bus or taxi to school,and I didn't have any money with me.I had to look for a place along the street to get my bicycle repairing.Unluckily,there were not any bicycle repair shops were open in the early morning.So I had to walk to school,carrying my bicycle all the way.That's how I was late for school.
Please don't worry with my lessons,Mr.Li.I will make up for it and turn to teachers for help if necessary.

5.My friend Tim was one of five children.His father was an alcoholic and died very young,and his mother was unable to support the family.Unfortunately,the children were separated and placed in foster homes(收养家庭).
Tim dropped out of school and did nothing to further himself.He eventually went through a divorce.Tim's brother,although experiencing the same childhood,educated himself and got a good job.He has a happy family and a wonderful home.
Both brothers gave a similar answer when asked why their lives turned out the way they did.They said,"You'd turn out this way too if you had a childhood like mine."Neither of the brothers could change his past,but one of them adjusted(调整) his sail.
It doesn't take much to find an excuse whether that is our family background,our lack of education,or that we live in the wrong city,or do not know the right people.Each one of these excuses has a solution.However,if you believe that there is nothing you can do to turn your life around,then you won't be able to change your life for the better.
If you really desire to turn your life to a new course,to set your sail to a different port,it is a matter of choice.If you choose to move forward,the easiest way is to find a solution to your today's situation.Solutions are there if you want to go after them.Sure,it may take some hard work,or the willingness to take a risk.But if you do not,then you will never have a different or happy life.Do not limit yourself by finding an excuse; only limit yourself by refusing to have an excuse.

4.Why does Tim's brother have a happy life?B
A.He had a happy childhood.
B.He tried hard to change his life.
C.He had a wonderful foster home  
D.He was the smartest of his family.
5.What did Tim think led to his unhappy life?C
A.His laziness.
B.Not adjusting his sail.
C.His unhappy childhood.
D.Not having any opportunities.
6.In the author's opinion,his friend TimD.
A.really had no chance to improve his life
B.failed because he lived in the wrong city
C.was the most unfortunate man in the world
D.could have changed his life if he had chosen to
7.What is the best title for the text?D
A.Adjust your sail               
B.Say"no"to excuses
C.Move toward a happy family     
D.How we live our life is a choice.
