二、 完形填空（共10小题,每题1.5分,共15分）
I live in Missouri, near a river called the Jacks Fork. Before I was born, my grandparents decided to help keep the 21 clean. So they started a club called Stream Team 713. I like its another 22 better — the Jacks Fork River Rats! Our

club makes sure the water is clean and healthy for fish and people. And now I’m big enough to help 23 the river too.
Picking up rubbish is 24 a treasure hunt (搜寻). My friends and I find plastic bags, bottles, paper, and all kinds of things. There used to be even more rubbish here. On one weekend, my grandparents 25 picked up 6 tons of rubbish. That’s as much as an elephant weighs!
That rubbish was 26 to the river or the animals and plants that lived there. So the River Rats taught people who were playing around the river to take rubbish with them rather than 27 it. Now there’s much less rubbish for 28 to pick up. Maybe one day we won’t find any rubbish here.
My favorite job is to look for water bugs (虫子)! The bugs like to stay at the river bottom. Some bugs don’t 29 how dirty the water is, but other bugs can only live in clean water. 30 we find lots of bugs that need clean water, then we will know the river is clean enough for fish and for us.
I love taking care of the Jacks Fork River. We help make sure it’s a clean, safe place for me and my friends to play.

三.阅读理解（共15小题,每小题2分,共30分）
A
I used to be shy and my first day at the new school made me look stupid in front of the class. The teacher sent me to the blackboard to write my name and address. I knew my name and address, knew how to write them, knew how to spell them, but standing at the blackboard with the eyes of the many girls and boys looking at me made me nervous. I was unable to write a single letter.
“Write your name,” the teacher said to me. I lifted the white chalk to the blackboard and, as I was about to write my name, my mind went empty. I could not remember my name, not even the first letter. “Just forget about us and write your name and address,” said the teacher. I wanted to write but my hand refused to move. The children began to whisper (低语). “Don’t you know your name?” asked the teacher. I looked at her and could not answer. The teacher stood up and walked to my side, smiling at me to give me confidence (自信). She put her hand softly on my shoulder and asked, “What’s your name?”
“Richard Wright,” I whispered. I spelled my name very quickly. “Now, can you write?” “Yes, madam.”
Again, I turned to the blackboard. I wrote my name and address down quickly and correctly. “Good boy. You may go to your seat,” said the teacher.
