During all this time, I never stopped thinking about escape(逃跑). When I travelled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”

So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe(独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think carefully before I began to work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.

In my sixth year on the island, I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.

I kept food and tools at both of my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so, many years went by.

1. We can infer(推断) from the first paragraph that the writer 　　　 .

A. was probably from England

B. lived happily on the island

C. lost his way on the island

D. was born on the island

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The writer made himself a smaller canoe in his sixth year on the island.

B. The writer made fields with high fences to keep many wild goats in.

C. The writer didn’t try to escape because he had two homes on the island.

D. The writer knew the canoe was too small for a long journey across the sea.

3.This story is mainly about how the writer 　　　 .

B. escaped from the island

C. built houses by himself

D. survived on the island

During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island (岛屿), I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”

So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole (洞) in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.

That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive.  A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.

My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.

I kept food and tools (工具) at both my houses, and also wild goats (山羊). There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.

1. The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to _____________.

A. escape in it                B. get to the other side of the island

C. use it for food               D. go around the island

2. To survive, the writer did the following EXCEPT _____________.

A. keeping goats for milk        B. making clothes from animal skins

C. working in the cornfields      D. going fishing in the sea

3.Why didn’t the writer use his first canoe?

A. Because it was too small for a long journey.

B. Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.

C. Because there was something wrong with it.

D. Because the writer was busy building a second house.

4.From the story, we can learn that _____________.

At one time or another we have all stopped to think about weather. Some days the weather is good. Some days the weather is bad. Still, there are days when the weather seems to change from hour to hour. A day that starts out fine might not stay that way. Sometimes a day that seems bad turns out better than you thought it would. There are ways of understanding the weather. One way is to study the clouds.

No two clouds are ever alike. But it is still possible to group clouds and to give them names. We can recognize the different kinds of clouds and watch them for signs of changing weather.

As a rule, the higher the clouds, the better the weather. And the lower the clouds, the worse the weather is likely to be. To predict the weather, there are three things about clouds you should look for: movement. color, and change.

Clouds can tell you if storm is on the way. For example, small feathery cirrus clouds(卷云) can become thick and move lower. This means rain is on the way. If there is a sudden, cool breeze（微风）and a dark thunder(雷声) clouds appears, then a storm is about to break out.

1.According to the first paragraph, we can say that_______.

A. the weather always remains the same in a day

B. a fine day can't last for long

C. we rarely think about the weather

D. the weather changes a lot

2.The importance of studying clouds is to_______.

A. learn about the change of weather

B. group them and give them names

C. tell the differences in clouds

D. find the likeness of clouds

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. If clouds are high, there will be bad weather.

B. The color of clouds is a factor to help predict the weather.

C. If the weather is good, the clouds must be very low.

D. To study clouds is the only way to understand the weather.

4.Which of the following is the sign of a storm?

A. A sudden and warm wind.　　 B. Thick and lower clouds.

C. Small and feathery cirrus clouds.　　 D. Dark and thunder clouds.

5.This passage is mainly about ___________.

A. the relation between the weather and clouds

B. the ways of grouping and naming clouds

C. the causes of differences in weather

D. the sign of the rain and storm
