I hid the long black bag in the garage (车库) two days ago. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.
Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief (小偷) in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I pulled the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.
It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer (锤子).
After much hard work, I finally completed my work. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn’t be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas brought them this year.

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do ” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages don’t just have different sounds, and they are different in many ways. It’s important to master the rules for the word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.” “I have seen the movie already.” “I have already seen the movie.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.

A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words
B. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence

【解析】本文主要讲述了在学习英语时会遇到的一些问题,告诉我们不应该仅仅从词义上理解英语单词,还要注意语境及词序规则等问题。
19. 细节理解题。根据“When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language”可知,学习英语的时候,你发现把英语单词逐字的翻译成自己的语言是不明智的,所以学习英语时不应该逐字翻译。故选A。

People from some countries set up a certain festival to give thanks. But do you know there is a special day to say sorry
Every year on May 26, Australian people come together, sharing the healing and sorry for the Stolen Generations and their families. That day is called National Sorry Day.
The first National Sorry Day was held on May 26, 1998. After Europeans landed in Australia, the government intended to erase Aboriginal culture. Thus, great numbers of Aboriginal children were taken away from their families and placed in institutions. There, they were treated badly and raised according to Western culture instead of their own culture. Those poor kids, later known as the “Stolen Generations”, never knew who their parents were or where they were. Their dark days finally ended on May 26, 1997 when a report, Bringing Them Home, came out. Thousands of Australians offered their apologies by writing messages and singing “sorry books” to the Stolen Generations. Since then, the National Apology has been a tradition in the country.
As a symbol of pride and power for Aboriginals, the Aboriginal flag can be seen everywhere that day. It is black (top) and red (bottom) with a yellow circle in the centre, which stands for the Aboriginals walking under the sun.
Besides raising Sorry Day flags, more activities take place around Australia nowadays. Many school children attend writing competitions and light candles for the Stolen Generations. Schools invite local Aboriginal elders to speak with students. Films about the Stolen Generations may also be shown for discussion. It’s not a public holiday, but everyone is welcome to take part in it.
Through National Sorry Day, Australians believe they will heal old wounds and right past wrongs.
34. The “Stolen Generations” refers to the children who _________.
A. lived in a common life B. were hoped to have a good future
C. lived separately from parents D. were raised in the Aboriginal culture
35. Which is the right picture of the Aboriginal flag

C. D.
36. What do Australians do for National Sorry Day
A. Students join in some singing competitions.
B. Aboriginals write messages to show apology.
C. Schools invite young pop stars to give speeches.
D. People light candles for the Stolen Generations.
37. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Australia: A country with a dark history B. Australia: Home of the Stolen Generations
C. National Sorry Day: Time to heal past wrongs D. National Sorry Day: A day for Australian children
【答案】34. C 35. A 36. D 37. C
【解析】文章大意:本文主要讲述的是国际道歉日的由来和为了表达对“被偷走的一代”的歉意,澳大利亚人在国际道歉日做了些什么。
34. 细节理解题。根据“Thus, great numbers of Aboriginal children were taken away from their families and placed in institutions.”因此,大量土著儿童被从他们的家庭带走,安置在机构中。以及“. Those poor kids, later known as the “Stolen Generations”, never knew who their parents were or where they were.”这些可怜的孩子,后来被称为“被偷走的一代”,从来不知道他们的父母是谁,也不知道他们在哪里。结合选项,可知“被偷走的一代”指的是那些与父母分开生活的孩子。故选C。
35. 细节理解题。根据“It is black (top) and red (bottom) with a yellow circle in the centre, which stands for the Aboriginals walking under the sun.”它是黑色(上)和红色(下),中间有一个黄色的圆圈,代表土著人在阳光下行走。可知土著国旗上面是黑色、下面是红色,中间是一个黄色的圆圈。结合选项,只有A选项圆圈在中间,故选A。
36. 细节理解题。根据“Many school children attend writing competitions and light candles for the Stolen Generations.”许多学校的孩子们参加写作比赛和为被偷走的一代点燃蜡烛。结合选项,可知D选项“人们为被偷走的一代点燃蜡烛”符合题意,故选D。
37. 标题归纳题。根据“Through National Sorry Day, Australians believe they will heal old wounds and right past wrongs.”通过国际道歉日,澳大利亚人相信他们将治愈旧伤,纠正过去的错误。结合文章内容,可知本文主要讲述的是国际道歉日的由来和为了表达对“被偷走的一代”的歉意,澳大利亚人在国际道歉日做了些什么。结合选项,可知C选项符合题意,故选C。

I hid the long black bag in the garage (车库) two days ago. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.
Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief (小偷) in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I pulled the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.
It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer (锤子).
After much hard work, I finally completed my work. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn’t be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas brought them this year.
10. Why did the man feel nervous
A. He left the party too late.
B. He was afraid of the darkness.
C. He didn’t know where the black bag was.
D. He worried that others would know his secret.
11. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to_______.
A. thieves B. parents C. children D. neighbours
12. In what order did the man do the following
a. Read the kids a story.
b. Had a shower.
c. Worked in the moonlight.
d. Pulled the bag from the garage.
e. Went to a party.
A. e-d-a-b-c B. e-a-d-c-b
C. a-b-e-d-c D. a-e-d-c-b
13. How would the children feel when they saw the man’s work
A. Interested. B. Excited. C. Tired. D. Angry.

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do ” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages don’t just have different sounds, and they are different in many ways. It’s important to master the rules for the word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.” “I have seen the movie already.” “I have already seen the movie.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.
19. From the passage we know that ________ when we are learning English.
A. we shouldn’t put every word into our own language
B. we should look up every word in the dictionary
C. we need to put every word into our own language
D. we must read word by word
20. The writer thinks it is ________ in learning English.
A. difficult to understand different sounds B. possible to remember the word order
C. important to master the rules for the word order D. easy to master the rules for the word order
21. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words
B. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
C. sometimes different orders of words have different meanings
D. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different
22. “She only likes apples.” ________.
A. is the same as “Only she likes apples.” B. is different from “Only she likes apples.”
C. mean “She likes fruit except apples.” D. means “She doesn’t like apples.”

People from some countries set up a certain festival to give thanks. But do you know there is a special day to say sorry
Every year on May 26, Australian people come together, sharing the healing and sorry for the Stolen Generations and their families. That day is called National Sorry Day.
The first National Sorry Day was held on May 26, 1998. After Europeans landed in Australia, the government intended to erase Aboriginal culture. Thus, great numbers of Aboriginal children were taken away from their families and placed in institutions. There, they were treated badly and raised according to Western culture instead of their own culture. Those poor kids, later known as the “Stolen Generations”, never knew who their parents were or where they were. Their dark days finally ended on May 26, 1997 when a report, Bringing Them Home, came out. Thousands of Australians offered their apologies by writing messages and singing “sorry books” to the Stolen Generations. Since then, the National Apology has been a tradition in the country.
As a symbol of pride and power for Aboriginals, the Aboriginal flag can be seen everywhere that day. It is black (top) and red (bottom) with a yellow circle in the centre, which stands for the Aboriginals walking under the sun.
Besides raising Sorry Day flags, more activities take place around Australia nowadays. Many school children attend writing competitions and light candles for the Stolen Generations. Schools invite local Aboriginal elders to speak with students. Films about the Stolen Generations may also be shown for discussion. It’s not a public holiday, but everyone is welcome to take part in it.
Through National Sorry Day, Australians believe they will heal old wounds and right past wrongs.
