A young girl called Ida in Sweden decided to travel to a place she hadn't seen for 22 years. She had a happy life until some kids asked, "Why don't you look like your mom?" Ida was sent to her adopted(收養(yǎng)) family in Sweden right after she was born.She really didn't know anything about her birthplace, Korea, except for some information she recently heard about her birthparents.
During her schooldays, she was often questioned about her looks. Ida considered herself a normal Swedish person. She tried to be part of the group in her school, but she found it hard. She was still seen as an outsider.
As she grew older, she accepted(接受)who she  was. Still, she
wanted to find the missing piece of the puzzle (困惑). After finding out the place of her birthparents, Ida went to Korea in 2008. When she first arrived, she was surprised to see so many people who looked like her. However, apart from her looks, not much could be shared (分享) with others. She knew little about the culture, food, especially the language. Being in Korea wasn't always easy for her.
Perhaps Ida can never truly fit in either culture, but it's worth visiting her birthplace because she finally realized how special and different she is. She has two loving families, and most of all a better understanding of who she is. This helps her to have a positive view of her life.
小題1: Where was Ida born?
A．In Japan.B．In Sweden.C．In England.D．In Korea.
小題2:Why was she seen as an outsider in Sweden?
A．Because of the culture.B．Because of her looks.
C．Because of the food.D．Because of the language.
小題3:What does the phrase "apart from" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．exceptB．a(chǎn)s forC．a(chǎn)s well asD．besides
小題4:What can we learn from the passage?
A．Ida hadn't seen her birthparents for at least 22 years.
B．Ida found it easy for her to get used to living in Korea.
C．Ida still couldn't accept who she was after she went back to Sweden.
D．Ida realized she can't live a happy life either in Sweden or in Korea.

小題1:D
小題1:B
小題1:A
小題1:A
【主旨大意】文章介紹了出生與韓國(guó)，生長(zhǎng)在瑞典的女孩Ida，由于長(zhǎng)相不一樣，很難與其他同學(xué)融為一體。于是踏上了尋親路，由于在異國(guó)生活了22年，她同樣面臨困境。擁有兩個(gè)愛(ài)她的家是她是她積極面對(duì)生活的最大資本。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題 由第一段“Ida was sent to her adopted(收養(yǎng)) family in Sweden right after she was born.She really didn't know anything about her birthplace, Korea,”“出生后Ida被送往她瑞士的收養(yǎng)家庭，”對(duì)于她的出生地韓國(guó)她什么都不知道�！�
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題 有文章第二段可知由于經(jīng)常被質(zhì)問(wèn)長(zhǎng)相，她自己也把自己當(dāng)做普通的瑞典人，并想融入學(xué)校，但很難。
小題1:推理判斷題 由于在瑞典生活了22 年，除了長(zhǎng)相與韓國(guó)人相似外，別的她都不能與韓國(guó)人共享。因此此處的apart from 是except的意思。
小題1:整體理解題通讀文章可知，結(jié)合文章第一句可知答案為A。

In the summer of 1978 an English man named Steven was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered something strange. Some of his wheat was lying on the ground. The flattened wheat formed(形成)a circle about six meters across . Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat.
　 Three years later a farmer who lived nearby discovered almost the same circles in one of his fields. These circles were larger—nearly 15 meters across . That same year , another English farmer discovered three circles of flattened wheat on his land—one large circle between two small circles. During the following years, farmers in England found circles in their fields more and more often.
　 The circles are called “crop circles” because they usually appear in fields of wheat or corn. The wheat in the circles lies on the ground but is never broken; it keeps on growing, and the farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September. What causes the crop circles?
　 At first, people thought that some kids were making them as a joke, or that farmers were making them to attract tourists.(In fact, in 1991, two men said they made the circles themselves, but many scientists don’t believe them.) People tried to copy them: They tried to make circles exactly like the ones the farmers had found. They couldn’t do it. They couldn’t enter a field of wheat without leaving tracks, and they couldn’t flatten the wheat without breaking it.
　 Several times people reported seeing stranger objects near the fields where crop circles later appeared. Many people believe that these crop circles are the messages sent by living things from outer space(外層空間)or the marks left by their spaceships.
　 Scientists who have studied the crop circles try to find out what causes them. In the summer of 1990 some scientists spent three weeks in the part of England where many circles have appeared. They had all the latest high-tech equipment(最新高科技設(shè)備). The equipment—worth 1.8 million dollars—got nothing. But one night, as the scientists were watching a field, crop circles formed in the field behind them, which were quite different from the others. The scientists had neither seen nor heard anything.
　 When Steven discovered the crop circles on his land in 1978, he said, “It was just like something that had landed in the field from the air and gone back up again. I don’t know what to make of these things.”
　 Crop circles have appeared in England, Japan, the United States and Russia. Experts from all over the world have studied them, and they say what Steven said: They don’t know what to make of these things.
小題1:Which picture is probably the one formed in the field behind the scientists?

小題2:“Flattened wheat” means ___________.
　　  
A．broken wheatB．lying wheat
　　		C．harvested wheatD．growing wheat
小題3:The passage is mainly about something ___________ .
A．that is done by living things from outer space
B．that cannot be solved but found all around the world
C．that cannot be made clear or understood
D．that is discovered and copied by the farmers

Gordon Williams’s hobby may seem strange to people when they meet it for the first time. But it is a traditional craft(手藝).He builds model ships inside old bottles.
Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada, where there was a display of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the display was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out.
He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills. First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty(一層油灰),carefully shaped and painted it look like the sea. Next he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts(桅桿).Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts.
Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging, as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience and a steady hand.
