A
Ladybirds (瓢虫) didn't have black spots on their backs at first. Then a storm broke out, and their famous guide, Caius Insectus, disappeared into the flood (洪水), and the few ladybirds who survived had to choose a new leader to guide them out of trouble. They decided that their new leader would be the first ladybird to successfully travel south to the Great Lake and return to describe it.
Many young ladybirds moved off immediately into this adventure. One by one they returned and told of how beautiful the southern lake was at that time of year, with its clear waters and flowers. However, the last of the ladybirds was late in getting back. He hadn't managed to reach the lake. Everyone criticized (批判) him, and they prepared to continue their journey the next day.
Following their new guide, they spent a morning walking northwards until they reached some tall thick grassland, where they stopped. There were no clear waters or flowers in front of them. The heavy rain had turned the place into a huge green puddle (水坑). Everyone understood what had happened. When the ladybirds had gone out looking for the lake, they had gone in the wrong direction. Now they could see that, except that one late ladybird, they had lied in order to get what they wanted.
And so, the late little ladybird was made the Great Guide. They also decided that every time one of them was discovered lying they would paint a black spot on that ladybirD s back. From then on, when a ladybird looks at another's back, it can tell whether that ladybird can be trusted.

Sooner or later, many families will face the situation of moving. The experience can be very bad for kids, who may not be a part of the decision to move and may not understand it. You can take steps to make the whole process (过程) easier for everyone.
Many kids like to stay in familiar places. So as you consider a move, weigh the benefits of that change against the comfort that neighborhood, school, and social life give your kids. If your family has recently dealt with a big life change, such as death, you may want to put off a move to give your children time to accept the fact.
The decision to move may be out of your hands, perhaps because of a new job or money problems. Even if you're not happy about the move, try to keep a positive attitude to it. During the move, a parent's attitude can greatly influence kids.
No matter what the results are, the most important way to prepare kids to move is to talk about it. Try to give your children as much information about the move as possible. You can ask kids to join in the planning such as house­hunting or the search for a new school. This can make the change feel less like it's being forced on them. If you're moving across town, try to take your children to visit the new house and the new neighborhood.
A move can have many problems, but good things also come from this kind of change. Your family might grow closer and you may learn more about each other by going through it together.
8．According to the passage kids may feel a move is a bad experience because ________.
A. they don't like the moving process
B. they may feel they're forced to do so
C. they think their parents don't care about them
D. they often feel lonely in a new school
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。依据倒数其次段说明的内容可知需要搬迁时父母应和孩子沟通，以免他们认为他们是被迫要搬迁的。
9．In which situation does the writer advise to put off a move?
A. The new neighborhood isn't safe.
B. The parents have money problems.
C. A family member has just died.
D. The kiD s birthday is coming.
答案与解析　C　细节理解题。依据其次段中“If your family has recently dealt with a big life change, such as death, you may want to put off a move ...”一句可知答案。
10．When making the move easier for kids ________ is most important.
A. letting them themselves choose a school
B. trying not to show them the bad parts of a move
C. telling them as much information as possible
D. promising to choose a new house with them
答案与解析　C　细节理解题。依据倒数其次段中“Try to give your children as much information about the move as possible.”一句可知答案。A项和D项的说明和同一段中“You can ask kids to join in the planning such as house­hunting or the search for a new school.”一句说明不吻合。

17．D Emma想要画只鹰，所以她“挑了(picked)”一支棕色的蜡笔。
18．B　见19题解析。
19．D 依据shopping list可推想，妈妈要去“商店(store)”，所以“需要(need)”写张购物清单。
20．D 依据下句妈妈问Emma要纸可知，妈妈现在“找(find)”不到纸写购物清单。
21．A 依据下文Emma撕纸的举动可知，她要给妈妈一半自己的纸，故此处用量词piece指代纸张。
22．B 本空前后的两个动作“折纸”和“撕纸”是顺接关系，故此处用and。
23．A 依据上下文都消灭的half可知， Emma从“中间(middle)”把纸撕成两半。下文中的“tore it down the middle”也是提示。
24．C 依据上文内容可知，Emma帮了妈妈一个忙，所以此处是“妈妈(mother)”在道谢。
25．B　见下一题解析。
26．A Emma“看着(looked at)”自己剩下的一半纸，觉得纸太“小(small)”了，画不下一只鹰。
27．B Emma打算画一只鹦鹉，所以从蜡笔“盒(box)”里拿出一支橘黄色的蜡笔。

30．D 依据下段中的“tore it down the middle”可知，Emma要给爸爸“一半(half)”纸。

35．A 下文画蝴蝶就是Emma想出来的“办法(idea)”。
