I waited anxiously, knowing that once I received it I would know how good a writer I really am.When the paper arrived at my classroom, I nearly knocked down five of my classmates to get to the first paper. With the school paper in my hands, I returned to my seat. About a month earlier, I had handed in one of, what I believed to be, my best stories. I named it Symbol of Success. The head of the English Department at my school, Professor Cullen, had said that she would include some reviews (评论) of students stories in the latest school paper. Professor Cullen was known for her rough criticism. Impressing her was very hard but I wanted to be the first to do so.I sat at the edge of my seat as I read through the other story reviews. There wasnt one story that got more than three stars. I became calm and wasnt anxious to know my review. It was long after that I heard someone shout out “Five stars？！ Seriously！” from behind me. I turned around and saw the shocked expression of Genes face, “Peter, your story got five stars！” I couldnt believe what I was hearing. I turned my attention back to my story and saw the five stars at the end of the review that I had not read yet. I looked through the review written by Professor Cullen. She wrote that I had a gift for story writing.I was proud that I achieved what I thought was impossible. For so long I believed I wasnt as good as I thought I was and that my talent was not enough to cover up my lack of writing skills. But this review proved that I was truly a good writer and that there was a future ahead of me in the field of fiction writing. The review and the five stars meant the world to me. Those five stars became the symbol of my success.语篇解读本文为夹叙夹议文。作者写了一篇佳作，得到了卡伦教授的高度评价，这使作者看到了自己的写作天赋，对将来布满了信念。1How did the writer get the school paper?A. His teacher gave it to him first.B.

Its first use was as a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.By the 18th century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasnt until the twentieth century that womens umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.语篇解读这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了伞最初产生时的用途以及后来的演化。8According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first invented in ancient _.A.

Several _21_ later, the tiger said to a pig, “Its been days since the cat saw my palace. Now, you go and see it _22_.” But when the pig came back, he said to the tiger, “My dear king, I thought that your palace is beautiful, but it _23_ yourself only.”The tiger was very _24_ when he heard what the pig said. “Why are the cats and the pigs _25_ not the same？” he said to _26_. He then asked a camel to go to have a(n) _27_. Before long the camel ran back out of breath (气喘吁吁) and said to the tiger, “Oh, your palace is too _28_ for you to live in, my king.”The king became very angry when he heard what the camel said. He said to the animals, “Maybe somebody of you tells _29_. You three have three ideas. I want to _30_ you.” Just at the moment, a fox came out to _31_ the tiger.
