12、In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Morn was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.
Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Morn rescued me. I hadn't turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹)heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.

【长难句分析】In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.在1950 年,我们搬回了Coeur d’Alene,但是我们又得到了一次去阿拉斯加冒险的机会,这次是八年后Leonhard邀请我们去拜访Idaho参加一个阿拉斯加的早先邻居的一个聚会。该句为并列复合句。由but连接。其中前句为简单句,后句为复合句,when引导时间状语从句,one more“再一个,又一个”,by paying a visit to...作方式状语。
13答案及解析：
答案：1. Being; 2. which; 3. finally; 4.declared; 5. to retire; 6. have made; 7. but; 8. saying; 9. a;10. wonderful
解析：1. being考查非谓语动词。介词for后应该用v.-ing形式，故填 being。
2. which考查关系代词。先行词是the pet shop,非限制性定语从句中缺 宾语.故填which。
3. finally考查词性转换。修饰动词应该用副词，故填finally。
4.declared考查动词的时态。陈述过去发生的事需用一般过去时，故填 declared。
5. to retire考查非谓语动词。不定式作名词plans的后置定语，故填 to retire.
6. have made考查动词的时态。根据定语从句中的时间状语over the years可知从句时态应为现在完成时，故填have made。
7. but考查并列连词，这是not ... but ...搭配，表达"不是……而是……"的意思。
8. saying考查非谓语动词。此处该用现在分词作后置定语，故填saying,
9. a考查冠词。“此处表示我们以为那是一个玩笑”，为泛指，且joke 的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
10. wonderful考查词性转换。此处该用形容词作表语，故填 wonderful。
