started the business two years ago. She has already written several successful puter games. They are so popular that over half a million games are sold every year. Now all of her family work in her business, and she is still at school. She gets up early in the morning, and then she talks with her family about the business over breakfast. Every day she goes to school in her own car with a driver, for she is not old enough. She enjoys her school, but some of the work is too easy for her to feel interested. She usually gets ‘A’ grades in all her subjects, so the other students often ask her for help. She finished her homework in half an hour after her driver takes her home. After dinner, she goes to her office and goes on working on her puter, writing games until 2 am. She does not usually need so much sleep as other children. 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,回答問(wèn)題。這是為什么呢?文章在最后道出了其原因:Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (釘) to the plus sign (加號(hào)), I knew they weren’t joking. 由此可知,Tommy是擔(dān)心學(xué)習(xí)不用功會(huì)被釘在十字架上。 3. 選A?! ?.

The farmers didn’t know what to do. Finally they went to the countryofficials and asked for help. “Kill the hawks,” the officials said, “We will even pay for them,” so the farmers began to think of ways to kill the hawks. The farmers killed many hawks. They no longer had to worry about their chickens. But they now had a new worry. Field mice were eating up a lot of the farmers’ grain. How did this happen? Hawks eat not only chickens but also field mice. They eat more field mice than chickens. But the farmers didn’t know this. When they killed a lot of hawks, they changed the balance. When people move into a new place, they often destroy many wild plants. Often these plants are food for the animals. If the animals can’t find enough plants to eat, they will starve or have to leave the place. In one part of the USA, for example the deer there like to eat a certain kind of wild roses. The mountain lions there eat the deer. The number of deer, mountain lions and wild roses doesn’t change much if people leave things as they are. But people killed many mountain lions in order to protect the deer. Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild roses. Then the deer began to eat the green leaves of young trees. These trees were important to the farmers. So the farmers thought of ways to protect their trees. Now the deer had nothing to eat, and many of them died. This was another lesson from nature. To keep the balance of nature is important for us to remember. 根據(jù)以上短文內(nèi)容判斷正誤,正確的用“T”表示,錯(cuò)誤的用“F”表示?! ?. 選T?! ?. 選T。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years可知,答案選A。 4. 選B?! ?. 選B。cause she _______.
