Answers
may
come
easily
for
some
people
but
for
others，it
may
take
more
time
to
think
about.
Mary
Jo
McCarthy
of
Pequot
Lakes
wants
to
help
others
document
their
childhood
memories
which
could
be
treasured
by
current
families
and
for
generations
to
come.
McCarthy,
64,
a
short
story
author
and
retired
columnist
(专栏作家)
for
the
Lake
Country
Echo
weekly
newspaper,
began
hosting
a
writing
seminar
(研讨班)
titled
“A
Time
to
Remember”.
The
closes
are
limited
to
12
people
and
are
conducted
in
the
nursery
at
Lutheran
Church
of
the
Cross
in
Nisswa
and
the
registration
fee
is
$25.
McCarthy
said
what
led
her
to
start
the
writing
seminars
was
writing
others’
biographies(传记).
A
retired
businessman
asked
her
to
write
his
biography
as
a
ghost
writer.
She
said
others
from
her
church
in
Pequot
Lakes
had
also
asked
her
to
write
their
biographies
because
they
didn’t
know
how
to
write
them.
She
thought
hosting
a
class
to
help
people
write
their
own
biographies
would
be
more
beneficial
to
them.
McCarthy
said
people
had
busy
lifestyles
those
days
and
didn’t
have
a
chance
to
sit
down
and
write
down
their
memories
that
they
might
forget
and
never
remember.
She
said
writing
down
the
memories
would
document
the
person’s
life，so
other
family
members，especially
future
generations
would
be
able
to
read
about
them.
24．In

1

C．give
some
examples
for

25．What

McCarthy?
A．She
was
strict
with
her
students
B．She
didn’t
take
charge
of
seminars
C．She
got
support
from
the
local
government
D．She
once
worked

the
passage
that__________．
A．writing
biographies
is
an
easy
job
B．a
biography
is
part

family
history
C．McCarthy
had

D．fewer

It
was
a
normal
school
day
for
senior
Solymar
Solis
until
an
unexpected
visitor
arrived.
Her
dad,
Sgt.
Carlos
Solis
Melendez,
surprised
her
by
coming
home
early
from
Kuwait
and
visiting
her
unannounced
at
Spring
Valley
High
School
in
South
Carolina.
After
serving
in
Kuwait
for
nine
months,
Melendez
returned
home
a
week
earlier
than
his
daughter
expected.
He
held
balloons
and
flowers
in
a
classroom
as
he
sat
at
a
student’s
desk
to
blend
in
with
the
crowd.
“It
came
across
my
mind
like,
‘How
is
she
going
to
react?”
he
recalled
the
heartwarming
moment.
“Is
she
going
to
be
happy
and
run
to
me
and
hug
me,
or
cry?
That
was
all
going
on
through
my
mind.”
As
unsuspecting
Solymar
entered
the
classroom,
she
was
soon
overcome
with
emotion,
immediately
bursting
into
tears
and
covering
her
mouth.
She
didn’t
talk.
She
was
just
crying.
She
was
overwhelmed
with
everything.
She
thought
it
was
a
dream.
Melendez
was
a
single
parent
so
while
he
was
deployed
(调动),
he
got
his
sister
to
live
with
his
daughter.
When
he
was
coming
back
and
talking
to
his
sister,
both
of
them
came
to
the
conclusion
that
they
should
do
something
special
for
his
daughter.
Melendez
and
his
sister
got
in
touch
with
the
school,
and
they
planned
this
whole
being-in-the-classroom
thing,
and
it
turned
out
perfect.
The
two
are
very
much
looking
forward
to
some
good
daddy-daughter
time
now
that
he’s
home.
“It
means
everything,”
Melendez
said
of
being
able
to
surprise
his
daughter
this
way.
“After
all
the
sacrifices
she’s
made,
she
deserves
all
the
special
arrangements
and
special
occasions
and
celebrations.
I’ll
do
anything
for
my
daughter.
I
believe
I’m
doing
good
parenting.”

was

People
from
all
over
the
world
visit
Disneyland
to
have
fun,
not
to
get
sick.
But
last
week,
an
outbreak
of
measles（麻疹）spread
from
the
Southern
California
theme
park.
As
of
Monday,
January
19,
at
least
52
people
have
got
the
easily
spread
illness.?
The
majority
of
the
reported
cases
of
measles
are
from
people
who
visited
the
park
before.
According
to
the
California
Department
of
Public
Health,
these
people
were
exposed
to
the
illness
at
Disneyland
from
December
17-20.
Officials
believe
the
cause
is
likely
someone
who
caught
measles
abroad
and
visited
Disneyland,
but
this
has
yet
to
be
proved.
However,
in
2014,
California
had
its
highest
measles
infection
rate
in
nearly
twenty
years.
There
were
66
cases
of
measles
reported
in
the
state―23
of
them
in
Orange
County,
where
Disneyland
is
located.
Measles
spreads
very
easily.
It
can
be
caught
from
coughing
and
sneezing.
Crowded
areas
like
theme
parks
are
especially
suitable
for
its
spread.?
The
illness
starts
with
a
fever
and
develops
into
symptoms
including
a
cough，
runny
nose,
red
eyes
and
so
on.
About
three
out
of
ten
people
infected
with
measles
will
develop
another
health
problem,
including
an
ear
infection
or
pneumonia(肺炎).?
The
best
way
to
guard
against
measles
is
to
get
vaccinated(打疫苗).
An
unvaccinated
person
is
35
times
more
likely
to
catch
measles
than
someone
who
received
a
vaccination.?
32.
What’s
the
possible
reason
of
this
illness’s
occurring
in
California?
There
were
too
many
people
visiting
Disneyland.
Somebody
with
measles
visited
Disneyland.
California
is
a
place
fit
for
this
illness’s
spread.
Some
people
ate
something
that
had
gone
bad.
33.
After
visiting
Disneyland
some
people
___________.
A.
had
a
lot
of
fun

were
found
missing

lost
their
lives

第二节
(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
During
these
days,
the
United
States
is
full
of
cars.
There
are
still
some
families
without
cars,
but
some
families
have
two
or
more
ones.
36
They
are
also
a
necessary
part
of
life.
Cars
are
used
for
business.
They
are
driven
to
offices
and
factories
by
workers
who
have
no
other
way
to
get
to
their
jobs.
When
salesmen
are
sent
to
different
parts
of
the
city,
they
have
to
drive
in
order
to
carry
their
products.
37
Sometimes
small
children
must
be
driven
to
school.
In
some
cities
school
buses
are
used
only
when
children
live
more
than
a
mile
away
from
the
school.
38
One
mother
drives
on
Mondays
taking
her
own
children
and
the
neighbors’
as
well.
Another
mother
drives
on
Tuesdays,
another
on
Wednesdays,
and
so
on.
39
Men
also
form
car
pools,
with
three
or
four
men
taking
turns
driving
to
the
place
where
they
all
work.
40
So
more
car
pools
should
be
formed
in
order
to
put
fewer
cars
on
the
road
and
use
less
gas.
Too
many
cars
will
lead
to
some
problems
such
as
accidents
or
environmental
pollution.
Something
will
have
to
be
done
about
the
use
of
cars.
And
the
government
should
encourage
the
citizens
to
decrease
the
use
of
their
cars
as
much
as
they
can.
A.
Too
many
cars
are
being
driven.
B.
This
is
called
forming
a
car
pool.
C.
Cars
are
used
for
more
than
pleasure.
D.
You
can
choose
your
car
according
to
the
use
of
it.
E.
Farmers
have
to
drive
into
the
city
in
order
to
get
supplies.
F.
Still,
it
is
not
safe
for
young
children
to
take
the
school
bus.
G.
When
children
are
too
young
to
walk
too
far,
their
mothers
take
turns
driving
them
to
school.

something
while
I
still
had
the
opportunity.?When
I
told
my
husband
Bob
my
idea,
a
broad
smile
lit
up
his
face.
“If
that’s
what
you????43?
,
we’ll
make
it
work.”
When
we
asked
the
kids
for
advice,
they
had
mixed?
44?
.Our
daughter,
already
in
college,
thought
it
a
great
idea
while
John,
in
high
school,
was????45
??
that
we
might
be
in
college
at
the
same
time.
James,
our
youngest,
wanted
to
know
who
would
take
him
to
football
practice.
I?
46?
that
things
would
be
a
little
different,??
47????
if
everyone
contributed,
it
wouldn’t
be
difficult.
The
next
day
we
drove
to
the
community
college
and
after
a
careful
research,
I
chose
to???48?
in
occupational
therapy
(康复理疗)
.
Days
passed
in
excitement,
enrolling
in
classes,
shopping
for????49????
and
attending
orientation(入学指导).
I
felt
like
a
kid
again,
but
as
the
first
day
of
classes
drew
near,
I
became????50????
.
I
was
simply
too
old.
People
would
laugh
at
me.
Finally,
with
encouragement
from
my
family
and
friends,
I
stuck
with
my????51?
.
As
I
entered
my
classroom
that
first
morning,
I
chose
a
seat
in
the
back,
hoping
to????52?
attention.
For
the
rest
of
that
day,
I
did
what
I
saw
the
other
students
do,
and
gradually,
my
self-consciousness
faded.
I
found
the
classes
and
assignments???53
,
and
I
left
that
day
feeling
I
might
survive.
By
the
end
of
the
first
week,
I
had
made
a
few
friends.
Studying
and
keeping
up
with
my
duties
at
home
was???54??
.
No
sooner
had
I
begun
to
study
than
it
was
time
to
drive
the
kids
to
their
activities.
Math
and
science
were???55??
my
strong
subjects,
so
I
devoted
more
time
to
those.
When
the
first
semester???56????,
I
had
a
4.0
GPA
and
was
placed
on
the
Honor
Roll.
By
the
second
year,
Bob
and
the
kids
were
all
doing
their????57????,
and
I
had
learned
how
to
comfortably???58?
my
school
and
home
life.
My
hard
work
paid
off.
I
was
awarded
a
scholarship
and
got
the
bachelor’s
degree.
As
I
drove
away
on
the
last
day
of
school,
I
thought
about
what
a
difference
returning
to????59???had
made
in
my
life.
I
looked
much
younger
and
I
had
more????60???
and
enthusiasm
for
life.
I
even
became
a
therapist.
It’s
never
too
late
to
try
again.

Dear
Sir
or
Madam,
I’m
more
than
pleased
to
learn
that
volunteers
are
wanted
for
the
Winter
Olympic
Games,
which
is
to
be
held
in
Beijing.
I’m
writing
to
apply
for
the
position.
I’m
Li
Hua,
presently
studying
in
Hongxing
High
School
and
I’m
convinced
that
I’m
qualified
to
be
the
required
volunteer.
First
of
all,
I’m
outgoing,
which
makes
it
possible
for
me
to
get
along
well
with
others.
Besides,
I
regularly
go
skiing
with
friends,
equipping
me
with
enough
knowledge
to
be
a
qualified
volunteer.
In
addition,
I
normally
participate
in
a
variety
of
beneficial
voluntary
activities,
which
makes
me
more
experienced
than
others.
I’d
appreciate
it
if
you
could
take
my
application
into
consideration.
Looking
forward
to
your
reply.
Yours,
Li
Hua

Um…so
you

W:
That’s

It

my

M:
I’m
sorry,
ma’am.
But
if
it

W:
Oh,
there’s

I
have
a
vegetable
garden
in
my

We
can
just
pick
some

M:
I

What

W:
I

It’s

W:
OK,
I
think
we
have
two
choices
of
where
we
can
spend
our
vacation.
The
first
place
is
a
little
house.
(13)
It’s
located
on
a
fruit
farm.
But
it
says
there’s
no
air
conditioner.
M:
That’s
OK.
It’s
on
the
rainy
side
of
the
island.
(13)
It’s
cooler
there.
W:
You’re
probably
right.
But
there’s
no
washing
machine
or
dryer…not
even
a
TV!
M:
Oh,
no!
No
TV?
That’s
terrible!
(14)
What’s
our
second
choice?
(15)
W:
It’s
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
island,
a
very
nice
place
with
a
big
swimming
pool.
(15)
It’s
only
three
blocks
from
the
ocean.
And
the
pool
area
also
has
a
beautiful
garden.
M:
Wow,
it
does
have
everything:
washing
machine,
dryer,
TV,
refrigerator...
All
we
need
is
our
toothbrushes.
Let’s
go
with
the
second
choice.
I
can’t
wait
to
go!
W:
OK.
I’ll
call
them
right
now
and
book
it.

Now,
back
to
the
news!
An
early
morning
fire
damaged
the
historic
Geller
House
today.
It
destroyed
the
third
floor
of
the
building,
(17)
but
firefighters
saved
the
first
and
second
floors.
There
were
only
a
few
elderly
people
living
in
the
building.
(19)
And
they
were
carried
out
to
safety,
so
no
one
was
hurt.
The
Geller
House
was
built
in
1718
and
was
used
as
a
hotel
for
over
150
years.
(18)
George
Washington
stayed
here
in
1782.
The
Geller
family
owned
the
building
until
the
1930s.
Then
they
sold
it
to
the
Mills
family.
Five
years
ago,
it
was
made
into
a
building
for
the
old.
(19)
All
the
electric
wires
in
the
building
were
checked
and
most
of
them
were
changed
then.
Several
fire
departments
were
called
to
the
scene.
When
we
asked
Fire
Chief
Andrew
Barnes
how
the
fire
started,
he
answered
that
a
burning
cigarette
most
likely
caused
it.
