I'm at the Giant Panda Base(基地) in Chengdu, China! There are so many pandas here. Some pandas are eating bamboo. They look so cute when they hold the bamboo with their "hands". Some are sleeping. One panda is rolling around like a big ball. I'm walking around the base looking at all the pandas and taking pictures every few minutes. I don't want to miss any cute moments!

I'm on the London Eye right now! It's going up, up, up. When the sun sets(下落), the city looks so beautiful from up here. I can see the Big Ben, the River Thames and all the tall buildings. People on the ground look like little ants. Some people around me are really scared, but I'm not! I'm even busy taking videos with my phone. I can't wait to show them to my friends after I go back to Stockholm.

Guess what? Here I am in Hawaii, learning to surf. It's not easy, but it's so much fun. The water is warm, and the sun is shining. Although I keep falling into the water, I don't give up. Finally, after many tries, I stand up on the board! It's only for a few seconds, but I make it! I'm so proud(自豪的) of myself. The feeling of riding a wave is really amazing. I love surfing here!

“You’re home by yourself today!” When Karthik heard his parents say this, he was excited at first. He thought about all the fun things he could do.
But soon, the weather turned bad. It rained heavily, and there was lightning too. This scared him a little, so he took out his favourite book, Harry Potter, from the bookshelf.
Again, there was a terrible sound of lightning. He tried to focus on his book, but then, the sudden sound of the doorbell(门铃) stopped him. It was only 3:10 p. m., and his parents usually came back at 6:00 p. m.
It couldn’t be his parents. The doorbell sounded again. “Who’s there?” he shouted. There was no answer. He remembered his parents telling him not to open the door without knowing who it was.
“Should I answer it?” thought Karthik. He decided to prepare himself for a bad experience. He went into his room and came out with a baseball bat. He shouted once again, “Who’s at the door?” There was still no answer.
Just as he got more scared and didn’t know what to do, there came a loud voice, “Karthik! Karthik! Why don’t you open the door?”
“Dad!” Karthik shouted happily and rushed to open the door.
“Why are you holding a baseball bat?” asked Karthik’s father. For a moment, the boy seemed at a loss for words. Then his father gave him a big smile, perhaps having understood the reason.

56. B 【解析】推理判断题。根据“It rained heavily, and there was lightning too. This scared him a little, so he took out his favourite book, Harry Potter, from the bookshelf.”可知,恶劣的天气让他感到害怕,所以他拿出书看,目的是不去想糟糕的天气。故选 B。
57. A 【解析】细节理解题。根据“It was only 3:10 p. m., and his parents usually came back at 6:00 p. m. It couldn't be his parents.”可知,当时时间太早,离父母通常的回家时间还有近 3 个小时,所以他认为门外的人不是父母。故选 A。
58. A 【解析】细节理解题。根据“He tried to focus on his book, but then, the sudden sound of the doorbell stopped him.”“He went into his room and came out with a baseball bat.”“there came a loud voice, ‘Karthik! Karthik! Why don't you open the door?’”及“Karthik shouted happily and rushed to open the door”可知,“Karthik 听到门铃响”是首先发生的(④),其次“Karthik 拿出棒球棒”(②),之后是“Karthik 的父亲叫他的名字”(①),最后“Karthik 为父亲开门”(③)。因此正确的顺序是④②①③,故选 A。
59. B 【解析】细节理解题。根据“he was excited at first”“This scared him a little”及“Karthik shouted happily and rushed to open the door”可知,一开始,父母说他独自在家时,他是“兴奋的”;之后恶劣的天气和突然响起的门铃让他“害怕”;发现门外是父亲时,他“开心地”喊起来。故选 B。
60. C 【解析】标题归纳题。文章核心情节围绕“门铃响起”展开:门铃在不合时宜的时间响起,引发了 Karthik 的害怕和一系列反应,最终揭示按门铃的人是父亲。C 选项符合文章主旨,故选 C。
