阅读理解。     We could all see the Murray Uiver slowly moving back, but now all the water was gone. I couldn"t believe
that the Murray had dried up, not one drop of water left.
     One morning I went down to the river to try and catch some fish when I saw my boat high and dry (搁浅)
on the bank. I rushed down the river and saw all mud-no water. The fish were just lying there, dying. I looked
up to see if my friend was there. There was the nest but no eagle (鹰). I called out to her with my special
whistle which I made out of steel.
     Suddenly a big shadow came over to me and the eagle landed in her nest and gave her young the food she
was out getting while I whistled. But then I suddenly noticed she was getting thinner and had a bit of sheep"s
wool in the side of her talon (利爪). It was deadly quiet by the river bank, except for some sound from my dog.
And also I couldn"t see one native animal or bird.
     When I walked inside the kitchen, Mum and Dad had sad looks on their faces. "It"s time for us to move,
Son, because the river can no longer provide for (养活) us," said Dad. I ran out of the kitchen door with tears
in my eyes, and down to the river bank, to my favorite spot. I said goodbye to my eagle, crying.
     When it was time to go, I saw my eagle fly up into the air with her chicks in her talons, going away to try
and find another home, just like us. 1. The passage is mainly about _____. [     ]
A. the author"s travel away from his hometown
B. the author"s feeling about being away from his friend
C. the author"s idea about being away from home
D. the author"s plan to leave for a new place 2. The underlined word "chicks" in the last paragraph refers to "_____". [     ]
A. the eagle"s children
B. the eagle"s food
C. the eagle"s nest beside the river
D. the dog 3. According to the passage, the eagle looked thinner most probably because _____. [     ]
A. the eagle had to feed its children
B. the eagle was seriously sick
C. the eagle lost many of his friends
D. there was not enough food for her 4. According to the passage, it can be inferred that _____. [     ]
A. the eagle lived on the ground beside the author"s house
B. it was winter when the writer went away
C. the writer"s parents didn"t like to leave, either
D. some native animals and birds still lived in the place

完形填空。      Sometimes I think Dad loves that dog more than he loves us,   1   I don"t get jealous when Dad spends time
with his   2 . When Dad takes his family out for a picnic, Pluto always gets to go along anyway.
     The moment Dad arrives from the office, he   3   in a room or behind the door and yells, "Pluto, come and
get me." Pluto   4   runs around trying to find his lost   5  . Pluto usually wins and his victory is celebrated with
his favorite biscuits. Dad"s   6   with Pluto are like the dog isn"t a dog at all but another human being and that"s
the scary part. Has Dad   7   the ability to distinguish (区别) between a man and an animal?
     I was   8   enough about this. So one day I gathered my   9   and asked him. "Dad, do you know you talk to
that dog of yours just like to a human being?" Dad looked me  10  in the eye. I thought he might be  11  at my
question. But he just smiled, reached out and patted my head and said, "Yes I do,and the reason is  12 . If I talk
down to him, he doesn"t  13  me but if I carry on a normal conversation, then Pluto  14  everything I say." I
stood there wanting to ask more  15 , but decided that was not the best time.
     And so for a few days, I  16  everything I could about my father and the dog. And I know the dog never
receives direct  17 . He never hears sit, lie down or anything like that. What he  18  are suggestions, "Would
you like me to feed you now? Shall we go for a walk?"
     What"s amazing is that Pluto does  19  everything Dad says. Their communication is as near to being perfect
as possible. And it"s not  20  Pluto that understands, but it"s Dad, too. Each seems to know what the other needs
at any time.

     Since Erica was a young girl, she had always wanted to meet an alien. Then one day, something truly
unbelievable happened.
     Erica woke up early one bright, sunny Saturday morning. It was a beautiful day, so she went outside
to enjoy her breakfast in the sunshine. Then she heard a strange sound coming from the garden. She looked
up and saw a short, green creature standing in the middle of the garden. It had two big brown eyes and three
ears on top of its head. It was an alien.
     The alien and Erica stared at each other, neither of them moving. Though meeting an alien was a dream
to come true, she was not quite prepared for it. She had to keep up the courage to talk to the alien. So Erica
walked over to it cautiously.
     Suddenly, the alien opened its mouth and said, "Prue." The alien then picked one of the flowers and
handed it to Erica. "Prue." the alien said again and pointed to the flower.
     Erica was very excited to finally meet a real, live alien. Even though they were speaking in completely
different languages, they could understand each other. Erica spent the whole day accompanying the alien.
They walked around Erica"s garden and picked up different things that they saw-flowers, grass and other
plants. Erica showed the alien some of her old toys, saying the English words for all these things and hoping
to teach it English. After Erica said each English word, the alien said something in its language. They were
teaching each other!
     When the sun began to set in the evening, the alien looked up at the sky. He pointed to the sky, and said,
"Keeta m"gul arul." "I understand," said Erica. The alien smiled at Erica, and she smiled back and waved at it.
The alien then walked off and disappeared right before her eyes. Although Erica was sad to see the alien go,
she was happy because one of her lifelong dreams had finally come true.

1. The alien was _____ when Erica first saw it.

[ ]

A. holding a glass of orange juice
B. standing in the garden
C. playing with a toy
D. holding a flower

2. The alien and Erica were able to communicate by _____ things and speaking.

A. talking about
B. smelling
C. pointing at
D. walking around

A. "I like the day"
B. "Hello"
C. "It"s a flower"
D. "I have to go home now"
