ANew York is a state in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. New York is the 27th most extensive, the fourth populous, and the seventh most densely populated of the 50 United States.New York City was not always a big city. The land was once covered with trees. The Dutch People(荷兰人) first came to this pretty land in 1609. The people missed their homes, so they made new homes in the green land they found.Here the Dutch people tried to live in the same ways they had lived in Holland. They worked hard, but they also played many games. One of these games was bowling(保龄球). Back then people bowled outside on the grass. Today Bowling Green is a grassy park in New York City.The Dutch people built their homes next to the sea. They built the walls of stone. The houses had special doors. Someone could open the top part of the door and talk to a friend. But the bottom part of the door could stay closed. The bottom part kept the pigs and chickens out of the house.①But the Dutch people left us many things that help us remember the past.②We can still find many Dutch houses.③The Dutch people had firefighters and police officers, just as we do today.④The Dutch people even started the first free school in New York.31．What could be the best title of the passage?A．New York City B．The Dutch People in New YorkC．Bowling Games D．Houses of the Dutch People32．Which of the following is TRUE?A．New York looked much like Holland in the past.B．The Dutch people were the first to come to New York.C．The Dutch people used to bowl in Bowling Green.D．The first free school in America was started by the Dutch people.33．According to Paragraph(段落)4, the doors were special because_________.A．the doors had top and bottom partsB．the doors were made of hard stonesC．the doors kept pigs and chickens out of the housesD．people could open the doors to talk to others34．Signs of the Dutch people that we can still find are their____________.A．clothes B．pigs and chickens C．houses D．trees35．In the last paragraph, the sentence “New York is very different today.”could be put in the place of_________.A．①B．②C．③D．④When I was young, I dreamed about becoming a cowgirl, a spy or a great actress. Not a dentist, like my father, or a homemaker, like my mother—certainly not a writer, although I always loved to read. I didn’t know anything about writers, even though I loved to make up stories inside my head.I made up stories while I bounced(反弹) a ball against the side of our house. I made up stories playing with paper dolls. And I made them up while I practiced the piano. I always had an active imagination, but I never wrote down any of my stories.When I grew up, my need for story telling didn’t go away. So when my own two children started preschool, I began to write and I’ve bee n writing ever since! My characters(人物) live inside my head for a long time before I actually start to write a book about them. Then, they become so real to me that I talk about them at the dinner table as if they were real. Some people consider this strange, but my family understand.Many of my books are set(设置背景) in New Jersey because that’s where I was born and raised. I lived there until my kids finished elementary school. Then we moved to New Mexico, the setting for Tiger Eyes. I also spent two years in Connecticut, where Just As Long As We’re Together and Here’s To You, Rachel Robinson are set. I don’t think I could set a book in a place without knowing it really well.Now I live in New York City with my husband, George Cooper. Between us we have three grown children and one grandchild. Our lives are busy, sometimes too much so, but never boring. And yes, I’m still writing!36．When the writer was young, she__________.A．heard many love stories B．enjoyed writing story booksC．never thought of becoming a writer D．could write stories of different people 37．The writer always had a gift for________.A．playing at home alone B．creating all kinds of storiesC．attracting others’ attention D．solving problems by herself38．The writer started to write when________.A．she began primary school B．her first grandchild was bornC．her children started preschool D．she got married to George Cooper 39．According to the passage, Connecticut is _________.A．a place of interestB．the writer’s hometownC．the place where the writer lives nowD．the setting of two of the writer’s books40．What can we learn from the passage?A．It is never too late to learn.B．Well begun is half done.C．Actions speak louder than words.D．Practice makes perfect.Are you worried about moving up to Senior High school? It can be a new experience, and we will give you a guide on how to spend the first week.You’re not alone!Remember everybody else in your year is on the same boat.
