It was a cold winter. The wind blew all night and the snow was blinding. When morning came, my three children and I got up and made our way to the windows. As we looked out of the window, we saw that the henhouse was gone. Our three hens had been blown away.
I looked at the emptiness outside Then I saw all three chickens sitting around the edge of a white bucket. How was this strong wind not blowing them into the field beyond I quickly put on my long heavy winter coat and large boots.
I shouted at the wind as it blew. I was alone, struggling in the snow. My children stared out of the window into the vast white sea of snow, their eyes focused for any sign of movement. Outside I heard the sound of my boots as I braved the elements.
The snow circling around me, I slowly made my way to the soft cluck-cluck-cluck sound my hens always made. When I reached them, I saw that their little feet were holding on to the edge of the bucket, heads bent (弯下) forward and away from the wind. I gently lifted each hen and put it carefully into the warm inside. Then I began the freezing walk back to the small shed (棚子) directly behind our house. One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor, and they began to cluck softly.
As I shut the shed doors, my eyes went directly to the window where my children were watching. They jumped up and down cheering, and so did I! I wasn’t some superman from movies. I was simply a mom, but the look on my children’s faces told me that they thought I was a hero mom.

【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I wasn’t some superman from movies. I was simply a mom, but the look on my children’s faces told me that they thought I was a hero mom.(我不是电影里的超人。我只是一个普通的妈妈，但孩子们脸上的表情告诉我，他们认为我是一个英雄妈妈)”结合文章主要讲述了一个寒冷的冬日，作者发现鸡舍不见了，然后看到三只鸡都坐在一个白色的桶边，于是冒着严寒，出门把母鸡都抓进了屋后的小棚子里，作者的孩子们一直看着她，认为母亲是一个英雄。可知，B选项“雪中英雄”最符合文章标题。故选B。

On Saturday, August 24, 1918, it was raining cats and dogs and thundering over a city called Sunderland on the northeast coast of England. The storm lasted for only about ten minutes. People were surprised to see that it was not just rainwater falling from the sky. There were fish falling down, too! People came out to find out what was happening. They could not believe their own eyes. There were thousands of fish—sand eels (沙鳗)—lying on the ground. They were about seven centimeters long, and all were frozen dead.
Sand eels swim together in large groups, often in sandy water, and are often found in large numbers in the North Sea, which reaches out to the east of Sunderland. How was it possible for these sand eels to fall from the sky and land on Sunderland
Scientists believed the heavy thunderstorm that afternoon may have caused a waterspout (水龙卷). Waterspout s can be formed when strong winds move quickly in a circle over water. They are so powerful that anything less than one meter in length can be taken into them and forced into the clouds. The clouds carry whatever has been taken into them for long distances —sometimes over 150 kilometers. It’s very cold up there and everything soon freezes.
For hundreds of years there have been reports of small animals being taken into the sky through waterspouts. In 2009, dead tadpoles rained down on the city of Nanao in Japan. In 2012, fifty kilos of prawns fell from the sky over Sri Lanka. In 2017, fish fell on the coastal city of Tampico in Mexico.
It must be a very strange experience to see fish raining down on you. It would probably hurt if one fell on your head! With climate change and many reports of terrible storms, will the time ever come when it may really begin to rain cats and dogs
28. What do we know about the sand eels that landed on Sunderland
A. They were few in number. B. They came in different sizes.
C. They were still alive when landing. D. They probably came from the North Sea.
29. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Clouds. B. Waterspouts. C. Sand eels. D. Thunderstorms.
30. Why does the author mention the fall of tadpoles in Japan
A. To stress the environment is not pleasant in Japan.
B. To introduce waterspouts can reach as far as Japan.
C. To show that raining sea animals is not new in history.
D. To explain different animals can fall in different countries.
31. What is the author really worried about in the last paragraph
A. Health. B. Environment. C. Wild animals. D. Travel safety.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一说明文。主要讲述了海洋里的动物由于水龙卷被卷入空中，然后落到其他的地方，并介绍了水龙卷形成的原因。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Sand eels swim together in large groups, often in sandy water, and are often found in large numbers in the North Sea, which reaches out to the east of Sunderland. (沙鳗成群结队地游动，经常在含沙的水中，在桑德兰东部的北海经常发现大量的沙鳗。)”可知，在桑德兰东部的北海经常发现大量的沙鳗，由此可知，那些出现在桑德兰市的沙鳗最可能来自与该市东部相连的北海。故选D项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Scientists believed the heavy thunderstorm that afternoon may have caused a waterspout (水龙卷). Waterspouts can be formed when strong winds move quickly in a circle over water. (科学家认为，当天下午的强雷暴可能导致了水龙卷。当强风在水面上快速旋转时，就会形成水龙卷。)”可知，此处讲述了水龙卷形成的原因，结合划线词所在句“They are so powerful that anything less than one meter in length can be taken into…and forced into the clouds. (它们是如此强大，以至于任何不到一米长的东西都可以被吸进……，并被强行进入云层。)”可知，此处的they应指的是上文中的提到的名词复数“Waterspouts”，结合语境可知，水龙卷的威力很大，沙鳗很可能被吸进水龙卷里，并被卷进云层，由此可知，划线词 them与其所在句中的They都指代waterspouts (水龙卷)。故选 B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“For hundreds of years there have been reports of small animals being taken into the sky through waterspouts. (数百年来，一直有关于小动物通过水龙卷被带向天空的报道。)”可知，数百年来有很多关于水龙卷把小动物带向天空的报道，此应为本段的主题句，结合下文中的“In 2009, dead tadpoles rained down on the city of Nanao in Japan. (2009年，死蝌蚪如雨点般落在日本南尾市。)”可知，此处列举了发生在2009年发生在日本南尾市死蝌蚪从天而降的事件，由此可知，此处讲述了历史上有很多类似于前文提到的下雨带来动物的报道，说明这在历史上并不新鲜。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“It would probably hurt if one fell on your head! With climate (气候) change and many reports of terrible storms, will the time ever come when it may really begin to rain cats and dogs (如果有一颗落在你头上，可能会很疼！随着气候的变化和许多可怕风暴的报道，真的会有大雨倾盆的时候吗？)”可知，此处作者运用“terrible”来说明风暴是可怕的，而这样的报道逐渐增多，并且使用疑问的形式来表达自己对天气变化的担忧，由此可知，此处表达了作者对目前环境的担忧。故选B项。
D
Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas and the other means cold, hard data (数据)—some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.
Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons included art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In the art-focused ones, they might sing the information instead.
The team randomly (随机地) divided the 350 students into either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit —about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques (技巧) after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. “The more we hear something, the more we retain it,” Hardiman says. “It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”
32. What is the purpose of the study
A. To offer great ways to teach art lessons.
B. To find a way to help students learn better.
C. To see if art and science have a lot in common.
D. To prove art might be useful for science learning.
33. What were the students required to do in the experiment
A. Take two types of classes. B. Learn three units in total.
C. Learn two topics for three weeks. D. Choose what they would like to learn.
34. What does the underlined word “retain” in the last paragraph mean
A. Improve. B. Express. C. Remember. D. Finish.
35. What is the text type
A. A research report. B. A book review.
C. A short story. D. An art introduction.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现艺术可以帮助学生更好地记住他们在科学课上学到的东西。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons included art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.”（更重要的是，当他们的科学课包括艺术课时，学生们似乎记得更多他们曾经学过的东西。为了证明这一点，哈迪曼与一些研究人员和六所当地学校合作。）可知，Mariale Hardiman的研究是为了证明艺术对科学学习可能是有用的。故选D
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The team randomly (随机地) divided the 350 students into either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one.”（研究小组将350名学生随机分成两组，一组是传统的科学课堂，另一组是以艺术为主的课堂。）以及“This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.”（这使得研究人员能够看到学生在这两种类型的课堂上的表现。）可知，在实验中，学生被要求选两种类型的课。故选A。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后的“It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”（这表明，艺术可以帮助学生应用创造性的自学方法。）可知，艺术可以帮助学生应用创造性的自学方法，这是有助于学习的，即帮助学生记住一些东西，由此可推知，划线单词所在句子意为：我们听到的越多，我们记住的就越多，划线词词义为“记住”。A. Improve.提高; B. Express.表达；C. Remember.记住；D. Finish.完成。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.”（现在，一项研究发现，艺术可以帮助学生更好地记住他们在科学课上学到的东西。）可知，文章主要介绍了一项研究表明，艺术可以帮助学生更容易记住科学课上学到的东西。由此可推知，本文是一份研究报告。故选A。

Aunt Evie had a dollhouse. It had many toys there. Every Friday afternoon, I went to Aunt Evie’s home with my parents. The adults would sit around a table in the dining room, eating pie and talking, while I played in the dollhouse for hours.
Sometimes I would pick up these lovely toys and place them in different positions. It was really fun. One time I asked Aunt Evie where she got the toys so that I could buy some, too. To my disappointment, Aunt Evie said that most of them were specially handmade gifts from her friends and couldn’t be bought anywhere. One such toy was a little bear, which was my favorite. It was so beautiful that I wanted to own it badly. “If I take it, Aunt Evie may not notice it. ” I said to myself.
Therefore, on a Friday afternoon, I attempted to take the little bear away from Aunt Evie’s dollhouse. I had to wait until nobody was watching me, ‘and it took me hours to get the courage to put the little bear in my pocket. Once I got the little bear, I couldn’t wait to go home. I had to hide it somewhere at home, so that no one would know I took it. That night after I went home with my parents, I couldn’t go to sleep. “What a bad person I am! I stole something from my loved Aunt Evie.” I thought. When I woke up the next morning, I felt awful, but I couldn’t tell my parents, let alone return the little bear to Aunt Evie. I was embarrassed about my behavior. At some point, I started to hate the little bear and myself. And I knew if I didn’t do something, I wouldn’t get away from those bad feelings.

Seized with fright, I stood frozen to the spot, thinking Aunt Evie would hate me. Eventually, with my mom’s encouragement, I got up the courage to head for Aunt Evie’s home.
Paragraph 2:
My hand was shaking when I rang the doorbell of Aunt Evie’s house. She unlocked the door, smiled and looked as if she already knew everything. I presented her with the little bear and made my apologies. “I admire your courage to return the bear. I would like to give it to you as a gift for your honesty. You’re always my favorite niece. ”Aunt Evie said. On hearing that, I felt a wave of relief. Mom’s words rang in my ears, “Honesty is the best policy!”

Columbus
It is our literary (文学的) magazine; the name shows the place where we live. Editorial training includes developing skills for creative writing. Published twice yearly, many excellent students are also recognized as Scholastic Writing Awards winners.
Diversion
It is our language publication. Published once a year, it impresses readers with student works presented in Chinese, French, and Spanish. Working with advisors who teach these languages, student editors help in presenting their classmates’ work including poems, essays, short stories and art.

The Bruner
It is Trinity’s yearbook. Serving the entire school, it is a yearly testament (证明) to the many aspects of Trinity life. Editorial positions are named in May, allowing editor s to attend a two-day summer meeting at NYU.

It was a cold winter. The wind blew all night and the snow was blinding. When morning came, my three children and I got up and made our way to the windows. As we looked out of the window, we saw that the henhouse was gone. Our three hens had been blown away.
I looked at the emptiness outside. Then I saw all three chickens sitting around the edge of a white bucket. How was this strong wind not blowing them into the field beyond I quickly put on my long heavy winter coat and large boots.
I shouted at the wind as it blew. I was alone, struggling in the snow. My children stared out of the window into the vast white sea of snow, their eyes focused for any sign of movement. Outside I heard the sound of my boots as I braved the elements.
The snow circling around me, I slowly made my way to the soft cluck-cluck-cluck sound my hens always made. When I reached them, I saw that their little feet were holding on to the edge of the bucket, heads bent (弯下) forward and away from the wind. I gently lifted each hen and put it carefully into the warm inside. Then I began the freezing walk back to the small shed (棚子) directly behind our house. One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor, and they began to cluck softly.
As I shut the shed doors, my eyes went directly to the window where my children were watching. They jumped up and down cheering, and so did I! I wasn’t some superman from movies. I was simply a mom, but the look on my children’s faces told me that they thought I was a hero mom.

On Saturday, August 24, 1918, it was raining cats and dogs and thundering over a city called Sunderland on the northeast coast of England. The storm lasted for only about ten minutes. People were surprised to see that it was not just rainwater falling from the sky. There were fish falling down, too! People came out to find out what was happening. They could not believe their own eyes. There were thousands of fish—sand eels (沙鳗)—lying on the ground. They were about seven centimeters long, and all were frozen dead.
Sand eels swim together in large groups, often in sandy water, and are often found in large numbers in the North Sea, which reaches out to the east of Sunderland. How was it possible for these sand eels to fall from the sky and land on Sunderland
Scientists believed the heavy thunderstorm that afternoon may have caused a waterspout (水龙卷). Waterspout s can be formed when strong winds move quickly in a circle over water. They are so powerful that anything less than one meter in length can be taken into them and forced into the clouds. The clouds carry whatever has been taken into them for long distances —sometimes over 150 kilometers. It’s very cold up there and everything soon freezes.
For hundreds of years there have been reports of small animals being taken into the sky through waterspouts. In 2009, dead tadpoles rained down on the city of Nanao in Japan. In 2012, fifty kilos of prawns fell from the sky over Sri Lanka. In 2017, fish fell on the coastal city of Tampico in Mexico.
It must be a very strange experience to see fish raining down on you. It would probably hurt if one fell on your head! With climate change and many reports of terrible storms, will the time ever come when it may really begin to rain cats and dogs
28. What do we know about the sand eels that landed on Sunderland
A. They were few in number. B. They came in different sizes.
C. They were still alive when landing. D. They probably came from the North Sea.
29. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Clouds. B. Waterspouts. C. Sand eels. D. Thunderstorms.
30. Why does the author mention the fall of tadpoles in Japan
A. To stress the environment is not pleasant in Japan.
B. To introduce waterspouts can reach as far as Japan.
C. To show that raining sea animals is not new in history.
D. To explain different animals can fall in different countries.
31. What is the author really worried about in the last paragraph
A. Health. B. Environment. C. Wild animals. D. Travel safety.
D
Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas, and the other means cold, hard data (数据)—some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.
Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons included art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In the art-focused ones, they might sing the information instead.
The team randomly (随机地) divided the 350 students into either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit —about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques (技巧) after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. “The more we hear something, the more we retain it,” Hardiman says. “It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”
32. What is the purpose of the study
A. To offer great ways to teach art lessons.
B. To find a way to help students learn better.
C. To see if art and science have a lot in common.
D. To prove art might be useful for science learning.
33. What were the students required to do in the experiment
A. Take two types of classes. B. Learn three units in total.
C. Learn two topics for three weeks. D. Choose what they would like to learn.
34. What does the underlined word “retain” in the last paragraph mean
A. Improve. B. Express. C. Remember. D. Finish.
35. What is the text type
A. A research report. B. A book review.
C. A short story. D. An art introduction.

72. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Aunt Evie had a dollhouse. It had many toys there. Every Friday afternoon, I went to Aunt Evie’s home with my parents. The adults would sit around a table in the dining room, eating pie and talking, while I played in the dollhouse for hours.
Sometimes I would pick up these lovely toys and place them in different positions. It was really fun. One time I asked Aunt Evie where she got the toys so that I could buy some, too. To my disappointment, Aunt Evie said that most of them were specially handmade gifts from her friends and couldn’t be bought anywhere. One such toy was a little bear, which was my favorite. It was so beautiful that I wanted to own it badly. “If I take it, Aunt Evie may not notice it. ” I said to myself.
Therefore, on a Friday afternoon, I attempted to take the little bear away from Aunt Evie’s dollhouse. I had to wait until nobody was watching me, ‘and it took me hours to get the courage to put the little bear in my pocket. Once I got the little bear, I couldn’t wait to go home. I had to hide it somewhere at home, so that no one would know I took it. That night after I went home with my parents, I couldn’t go to sleep. “What a bad person I am! I stole something from my loved Aunt Evie.” I thought. When I woke up the next morning, I felt awful, but I couldn’t tell my parents, let alone return the little bear to Aunt Evie. I was embarrassed about my behavior. At some point, I started to hate the little bear and myself. And I knew if I didn’t do something, I wouldn’t get away from those bad feelings.
