【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 over(翻土). Weather, soil condition(土壤狀況), and time affect(影響) the taste of carrots. Warm days and cool nights are the best time to grow great delicious carrots.The best way to decide if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its color. Usually, the brighter the color is, the better the taste is.Most people do not know that carrots can be grown during the winter months. If the winter is not cold enough to freeze the ground, you can grow carrots the same way as you do during the summer months.Carrots are prepared and eaten in many different ways. They are cut into thin pieces and cooked with other vegetables or meat. Or, they are washed, and eaten just as they e out of the ground. 26．Carrots are easy to plant but hard to harvest.27．Carrots should be grown in a field without water for a long time.28．The best way to decide if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its size.29．Everyone knows that carrots can be grown during the winter months.30．We can prepare and eat carrots in many different ways.Hi Brad,It’s good to hear from you again. I find that I’m not good at writing positions. It’s hard for me to prepare the form of a position and organize sentences. ①Could you tell me how to deal with this problem? I would really appreciate if you offer me some good methods. Best wishes, CindyHi Cindy,A position is really a story and any story is told to an audience. There is a form for this and it is in three parts. First, tell them(the audience) what you are going to tell them. Then tell them, and finally tell them what you told them. Parts one and three are short and most of the information is in part two. It works like this.Let’s say you are asked to write a 200word position about your visit to the Great Wall. You would begin with an opening sentence or two saying something like “The Great Wall of China is a national ②landmark that is famous around the world. I visited it last summer and I want to tell you about it.” That uses about 25 words to tell them what you are going to tell them.The second part would be about 150 words and would contain information about the Great Wall such as how long it is, when it was built, who built it and why, the fact that it is one of the seven wonders of the world and you would talk about how you felt and what you thought when you visited this national treasure. This is telling them.Finally, you would use about another 25 words to say something like “That was my first visit to the Great Wall and it was a very emotional experience to actually touch something so old and famous. ③ plan to go back whenever I can.” Here, you are telling them what you told them in the story and wrapping it all up into a neat package. This formula(慣例)works for both positions and speeches and I think you will find it helps to organize your thoughts. I hope it’s helpful.Best wishes, Brad Franklin31．將文中①處的畫線部分翻譯成漢語： .32．(A) 試寫出文中②處畫線部分landmark的漢語意思： .(B)下面有四個(gè)在文中出現(xiàn)的單詞，請(qǐng)找出畫線部分發(fā)音哪個(gè)與眾不同? .A. work B. word C. information D. world33．將文中③處的漢語翻譯成英語： .34．從文中找出適當(dāng)?shù)脑~組填空：How I wish to get a letter from you soon!How I wish to _________ _________ you soon!35．用英語回答問題：What’s the main idea of the passage? .When you look up into the sky at night, have you ever felt that your eyes are playing tricks on (捉弄) you? It seems that the stars are moving all the time.Actually, there is nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkling effect is called scintillation (交光). Scintillation happens because of air movements in the earth’s atmosphere (大氣). Light is “bent (彎曲的)” when it travels through different parts of the earth’s atmosphere. As the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving all the time, the light from the stars looks as if it is moving too.The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, the image in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文學(xué)家) since they cannot observe the stars clearly. A telescope (望遠(yuǎn)鏡) was sent into space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided (避免). It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have many important observations that have helped people understand space better.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳選項(xiàng)。 （10分）36．What happens to the light from the stars we see when the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving?

You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is
