I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I thought about all the places I was going to see — the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism (乐观), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost — having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex (复杂的) for me. Some time passed before my stepfather (继父) and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives (代表).
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
24. How did the author get to know America

A. good things will happen if one keeps trying
B. it is difficult to learn to become patient
C. there are more good things than bad things
D. her future will be free from troubles
C
Russ Fee was asleep inside his tent when screams awoke him. Throwing on his shoes, he ran out to look. Russ and his wife were travelling through Canada’s Banff National Park to enjoy its amazing beauty and awesome wildlife. It was the latter that he then met. Although it was dark, Russ could see a neighboring tent. Backing out was a wolf, dragging something in his teeth. That thing was a man.
Moments earlier, Elisa and Matt Rispoli were asleep with their two young children when the wolf tore into their tent. “It was something out of a horror movie,” Elisa posted on Facebook. For 3 minutes, “Matt threw his body in front of me and the boys and fought the wolf.” At one point, Matt got the upper hand, pinning the wolf to the ground. But the wolf fixed its jaws onto Matt’s arm, and began pulling him outside.
It was then that Russ entered the picture. He ran at the beast, kicking it “like I was kicking in a door,” he told ABC New York. The wolf dropped Matt and came out from the tent. “I felt like I had hit someone that is way out of my weight class,” Russ added. Before the wolf could turn its anger on Russ, Matt, whose arms bloodied, flew out of the tent to continue the battle. The men threw rocks at the wolf, forcing it back, and then the Fees and the Rispolis ran into the Fees’ minivan. An ambulance was called, and Matt was taken to a local hospital suffering bad injuries. He now has fully recovered. The wolf was tracked down by park officials and euthanized (实施安乐死).
As for Russ, whom Elisa called their guardian angel, he does admit to a fleeting (转瞬即逝的) thought, if less-than-heroic, during the heat of battle. The moment the wolf locked eyes with him, “ I immediately regretted kicking it.”
When did Russ join the fight
When he saw a wolf pulling a man.
When he saw a wolf tearing into a tent.
When Matt pinned the wolf to the ground.
When Matt threw his body in front of his wife.
29. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3
A. The wolf was out of Russ’ way. B. Russ once hit someone very huge.
C. The wolf was far heavier than Russ. D. Russ wanted to beat the wolf to death.
30. What kind of person did Elisa think Russ is
A. a person who is positive in life B. a person who always protects them.
C. a person who is less-than-heroic D. a person who recovers easily.
31. What is the best title for the passage
A. A Narrow Escape. B. Wolves in Banff.
C. Two Lucky Families. D. An Exciting Adventure.
D
When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Storm chasing (追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm seasons.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth.”
32. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to ____.
A. leave the area quickly for safety
B. collect information about a coming storm
C. head straight for the center of the storm
D. Patiently wait for the storm to develop
33. It’s recommended that beginners of storm chasing should ____.
A. not drive in a heavy rain B. spend much more time on it
C. not get into the center of a storm D. do it in an organized way
34. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that .
A. efforts in storm chasing are well paid
B. storm chasing is a waste of money
C. storm chasing is worth seeing.
D. storm chasing shows the power of nature
35. What can we infer from the text
A. Storm is too dangerous to chase.
B. Storm chasers are driving all the time.
C. Sometimes it’s nothing but disappointment that storm chasers get
D.Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.

Hi, Dear Trapped,
As a student of your age,I understand your situation . The problem you are facing is common among our teenagers. However, it should be wise not to do anything that hurt your mother's feelings. Here are a few suggestions .
First, it's advisable to communicate more with your mom. I am sure that talks can help you understand each other better. They are also opportunities to let her know our ideas and attitudes towards many things. Second, I strongly recommend you should learn to do your own things well,proving to your mom that you are already a "grown-up”. It’s even better to share more of the housework, such as cleaning ,washing and cooking, which is to strengthen the relationship between you two.
Hope my idea will work out.

推理判断题。根据第三段的“I felt like I had hit someone that is way out of my weight class(我觉得我打了一个远远超出我体重级别的人)”可知,狼比拉斯重多了。故选C。
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“As for Russ, whom Elisa called their guardian angel, he does admit to a fleeting thought, if less-than-heroic, during the heat of battle.(至于被伊利莎称为守护天使的拉斯,他承认在战斗最激烈的时候,他有一个短暂的想法,如果不是英雄的话。)”可知,伊利莎称拉斯为守护天使。故选B。

(有人叫来了救护车,马特受了重伤,被送往当地一家医院。他现在已经完全康复了。公园管理人员找到了这只狼并对它实施了安乐死 。)”可知,本文主要讲的是拉斯·费从狼的嘴里救下马特·里斯波利的故事,因此最好的题目是A选项A Narrow Escape.(九死一生)。故选A。

B 设空处是小标题,根据段中“Plan workouts as you would any other important activity. You can also slip in physical activity throughout the day.(像计划其他重要活动一样制定你的锻炼计划。你也可以在一天中进行体育活动)”和下文所例举的走楼梯、边走边看孩子们做运动和在工作间隙散步可知,本段主要讲我们可以让锻炼融入生活,成为生活的一部分,所以B 项“Make physical activity part of your daily life(让锻炼成为你日常生活的一部分)”是本段最佳小标题。故选B项。
C C项“You may also find that it helps to keep an exercise diary(你也会发现写锻炼日记是有帮助的)”说明了需要“Put it on paper(记下来)”的原因,是对小标题的进一步阐述,同时下文“Record what you did during each exercise session, how long you exercised and how you felt afterward(记录下你在每次锻炼中都做了什么,锻炼了多长时间以及锻炼后的感觉)”对C项中“an exercise diary”的具体内容作出了举例说明,形成照应关系。故选C项。
E 上文“If you’re too busy to work out or simply don’t feel up to it, take a day or two off. Be gentle with yourself if you need a break. (如果你太忙而没有时间锻炼,或者只是感觉不适,那就休息一两天。如果你需要休息,温柔地对待自己)”说我们有时也需要休息,E 项“The important thing is to get back on track as soon as you can(重要的是尽快回到正轨)”强调了休息的意义,休息的目的是为了更快地回到锻炼,所以要灵活安排,与小标题“Be flexible(灵活安排)”相照应。故选E项。

affected 状语从句的省略。when引导的时间状语从句中affect的适当形式,由于affect和句子主语Tim之间构成动宾关系,所以用被动。
struck 动词时态。考察句型it struck sb that,由于上半句he looked up可知该句为过去时,所以用strike的过去时struck.
who 定语从句。由于先行词those在从句中作主语指人所以用who.
up 固定搭配。考察固定短语sign up for.
fluently 副词。此处需要用副词修饰speaking Hebrew 所以将fluent变成fluently.
