My name is Robinson Crusoe.I cannot say that for five years,any extraordinary thing happened to me,but I lived on in the same place as before.Besides my yearly labour of planting my corn,and curing my raisins (葡萄干),of both which I always kept up just enough to have enough stock of one year's supply beforehand,I had one labour,that is,to make a canoe(独木舟),which at last I finished.

By digging a canal (水渠)to it of six feet wide and four feet deep,I brought it into the water,almost half a mile.As for the first canoe,it was so big.I made it without considering beforehand how I should be able to launch it,so,never being able to bring it into the water,or bring the water to it,I had to let it lie where it was as amemorandumto teach me to be wiser the next time.Indeed,the next time,though I could not get a tree proper for it,and was in a place where I could not get the water to it at any less distance than,as I have said,near half a mile,yet,as I saw it was practicable at last,I never gave it up for anything.Though I had spent near two years on it,yet I never spared my labour,in the hope of having a boat to go off to the sea at last.

As I had a boat,my next design was to travel round the island.I had been on the other side in one place,crossing over the land,and the discoveries I made on that little journey made me very eager to see other parts of the coast.Now that I had a boat,I thought of nothing but sailing round the island.

In 17th-century Europe,it was unheard of for a woman to travel by herself,but that didn't stop Maria Sibylla Merian.In 1699,she and her 21-year-old daughter Dorothea sailed from Amsterdam to Surinam in South America.The three-month voyage was dangerous,but she was determined to go.She would be the first person to go to a foreign country to study and paint insects directly from nature.

When they arrived in Surinam,Maria and Dorothea started working.Day after day,they took their painting materials into the hot rainforest to collect and draw insects and plants.Artists had never done such a thing before.Still life painters drew from dead specimens (标本).But Maria had always been interested in painting living animals and plants,and her favourite subjects were insects.

In the rainforest,she climbed ladders to study and collect insects.She had trees cut down so she could see what lived at the top level of the forest more than a hundred feet overhead.Maria combined both art and science in her work.As a skilled observer,she kept detailed notes.

Maria planned to stay in Surinam for five years,painting and collecting insects and plants that Europeans had never seen.She learnt about the medicinal plants of the area and expanded her interest to spiders,birds and snakes.She planned to publish a book of her new work on her return to Amsterdam.

After two years,she had to leave Surinam.It was extremely hot,and unluckily she was ill with malaria.But she had more than enough materials for a book.In June 1701,Maria and Dorothea sailed back to Amsterdam with many paintings and specimens—butterflies kept in brandy,bottles with snakes,and boxes of pressed insects.

Four years later,in 1705,Maria published the book for which she is best known,MetamorphosisoftheInsectsofSurinam.The paintings of insects and plants in their natural habitats advanced the scientific study of insects.

8.Why did Maria make up her mind to go to Surinam?

A.To paint living creatures.

B.To draw dead species.

C.To study still life.

D.To experience adventurous trips.

9.What can we know about Maria according to the text?

A.She stayed in Surinam for five years as planned.

B.Her works were a mixture of art and science.

C.She returned to Amsterdam after her new book came out.

D.She was devoted to painting what Americans had no interest in.

10.Which of the following best describes Maria as a painter?

A.Outgoing. B.Traditional.

C.Warm-hearted. D.Pioneering.

11.What does the text mainly talk about?

A.A devoted painter. B.Life in Surinam.

C.An insect study. D.Love for nature.

It was the summer of my 16th year.I was 2,000 miles away from home and my heart was aching.I had travelled from the mountains of West Virginia to the great plains of Iowa.I was with a group of boys touring a college.

When the trip first started,I was filled with excitement.It was going to be a week of adventure,a week of travel,and the change of starting on a new path in my life.But five days later,I was filled with sadness.I missed my mom.I missed my dad.I missed my old Italian grandmother.I missed the mountains,the green trees,and the smell of the wild flowers in the summertime.

I walked outside and sat down on a chair.I knew that I was at a crossroads and that the decision I was about to make would affect the rest of my life.This college had sounded so good to me a few weeks before.Now,however,I knew that I could never go to college here.

Since that day,I have been at many crossroads in my life.Sometimes I have made the wrong choice and have to give up to make things right.More often than not,though,I have felt greatly encouraged and made the choices that took me where I needed to go and helped me to become who I needed to be.Through all this,I have felt my confidence grow deeper and the love in my heart grow stronger.And that,more than anything,has kept me on the right road.

Life is a long and difficult journey,but we all can take comfort from knowing that we are loved and watched over every step of the way.Let love guide your steps and you will always be on your own path.

12.What did the author do that summer?

13.Why did the author feel sad later during the travel?

A.He hated the college.

B.He felt homesick.

C.He wasn't pleased with the schedule.

D.He couldn't go home for a long time.

14.What did the author think of the decision about whether to go to that college?

A.Risky. B.Easy.C.Common. D.Important.

15.What is the author's attitude towards most of his decisions?

A.Regretful. B.Doubtful.C.Confident. D.Unclear.

Gisela was going home to Rio de Janeiro after a month's vacation in London.Ricardo lived in Rio de Janeiro.After two months in England,he was going home.He found his seat on the airplane.Gisela was sitting in the seat near him.

“Hi!” Ricardo said to Gisela.He smiled at her.Gisela looked up,but she didn't smile.“Hello,” she said,and she looked down at her book again.“My name's Ricardo,” Ricardo said.Gisela looked up at him.“Is it?” she said.Then she looked at her book again.“What's your name?” he asked.Gisela didn't look up from her book this time and replied,“Gisela.”“That's a pretty name,” Ricardo said.

Ricardo talked about his name in England.“I like London.Do you like London,Gisela?” Gisela put down her book and sighed (叹气).“Yes,” she said.“I like London.And I like quiet people!”

Later,there was a movie.Ricardo was watching the movie,and after a time he slept.Gisela began to think about her manuscript (手稿).She was writing her first book.“I can finish the story in Rio,” she thought.

Many hours later,the airplane arrived at Rio de Janeiro airport.Gisela and Ricardo went into the building and waited for their bags.Gisela's bag was blue.Suddenly,she saw a blue travel bag.“Here it is!” she thought.“Good.Now I can go and Ricardo can't follow me.” she quickly took the bag and left the airport.

Ricardo watched Gisela.“Wait for me,Gisela!” he thought.Then,suddenly,he saw a blue bag.“That's my bag!” he thought.But when Ricardo looked down at the label of the bag,he found something was wrong.

Gisela got on a bus.The bus was very hot and Gisela's eyes closed.She slept after the long journey from London.A man on the bus was looking at the blue travel bag.“Maybe there's money in that bag,or some expensive clothes,” he thought.“Immediately the bus stops,I will take the bag and run.”注意：续写词数应为150左右。
