2．My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish：I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours.My three children had been addicted to this video show on our previous summer's road trip.
As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip，I came across a book —Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook.This could be the answer to my problem. ，I thought.So I put Roald DahI's James and the Giant Peach into my bag.When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach，my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats.But after several lines，they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.
We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly.Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip.jye.ai Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach.We arrived just behind the power crews restoring（恢復） electricity after a tropical storm.The rain continued most of the week，and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm.When we returned home，I asked my son what he liked about the trip.He answered without hesitation， "The book you read in the car."
Road trips still offer challenges，even though my children now are teenagers.But we continue to read as we roll across the country.And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time.For at least a little while，we are not shut in our own electronic worlds.And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation.

3．Today China is the world's biggest consumer of wheat.But it wasn't always that way.
Wheat only came to the area now known as northern China toward the end of the Neolithic（新石器）period，some 4，600 years ago.Initially，wheat didn't seem to be so delicious and had been treated as a crop of desperation rather than a cooking delight.The first farmers of northern China primarily grew millet（粟），starting as early as 11，500 years ago.By the time of the Tang dynasty，wheat had replaced millet，becoming a major crop.But relatively little was known about exactly why this shift occurred.
In an attempt to track the answer，I accumulated（積累）a collection of nearly 1，200 data points covering more than 50 sites from the mid-Neolithic，about 9，000 years ago，to the collapse of the Eastern Han dynasty in 220 AD.The sites were across 8 modern provinces，ranging from Gansu province in the northwest to Shandong province in the east.
One possible explanation is a major climate shift，called the Holocene Event 3，which happened 4，000 to 4，500 years ago.At that time，the climate became colder and drier across continents，causing damage to crop production.
On top of this，the late Neolithic period was also a time of rapid population growth around the world.With an ever-increasing population and unsteady crop production，it is reasonable to assume that Neolithic farmers in northern China were struggling.
Wheat，it turns out，actually needs more water than millet，making it seem a poor choice for a dry period of history.But importantly，it can be sowed after millet has been harvested.That，we think，is the most likely reason why the people across northern China started to grow wheat.
From more extreme weather to changing coastlines，climate change has always brought unexpected and sometimes dramatic changes to societies.In this instance，the consequence of the Holocene Event 3 in northern China proved，eventually，delicious.
（1）What can we learn about wheat from the second paragraph？
A．It replaced millet for its great taste.
B．It was a poor choice at the beginning.
C．It outnumbered millet 4，600 years ago.
D．It was the earliest crop grown in China.
（2）What do the figures in paragraph 3 show？
A．The author found the exact answer.
B．The author did worldwide research.
C．The author took the research seriously.
D．The author was good at collecting data.
（3）What was probably the main reason for northerners in China to grow wheat？
A．The water supply was enough then.
B．The harvest of millet was not satisfying.
C．It adjusted to the weather conditions better.
D．It had an alternative sowing season with millet.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．How was millet introduced to China？
B．Why did Chinese farmers switch to wheat？
C．Why did China become the biggest wheat consumer？
D．How was China's wheat growth affected by climate change？組卷：20引用：6難度：0.7

9．It had been a year since Susan，an attractive young woman of 34，became blind and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness，anger，frustration and self pity．And all she had to cling to was her husband， Mark．
Mark，an Air Force officer，loved Susan with all his heart and he was determined to help his wife gain the strength and confidence she needed to become independent again．
Finally，Susan felt ready to return to her job，but how would she get there？Mark volunteered to drive her to work each day，even though they worked at opposite ends of the city．
At first，this comforted Susan．Soon，however，Mark decided that Susan had to start taking the bus again on her own．But she was still so fragile，so angry - how would she react？
Just as he predicted，Susan was horrified at the idea of taking the bus again． "How am I supposed to know where I am going？I feel like you're abandoning me．" she responded bitterly．
Mark's heart broke to hear these words，but he knew what had to be done．He promised Susan that he would ride the bus with her，for as long as it took，until she got the hang of it．
For two solid weeks，Mark， in military uniform and all，accompanied Susan to and from work each day．He taught her everything to adapt to her new environment，including befriending the bus drivers who could watch out for her，and save her a seat．
Finally，Susan decided to try the trip on her own．Monday morning arrived，she said good-bye to Mark，and for the first time，they went their separate ways．
Monday，Tuesday，Wednesday，Thursday…Each day on her own went perfectly，and Susan had never felt better．She was doing it!
