My name is Ben. I am 13, and I live in Chantilly, VA. Just yesterday, June 24, I was at home watching my sister, who is mentally handicapped (弱智的). My father was at work while my mother and younger sister were at my mother’s office.
I had noticed the clouds growing darker and the ones to the east were turning green. At first I thought nothing of it, but then on TV, the weather reporter was announcing a big thunderstorm warning, one that usually brings hail (冰雹) and heavy rain.
After seeing that, I called my mother and told her about it. She told me I should not be worried because it was just a thunderstorm so we hung up. Then I looked outside and noticed it was almost pitch black at 4：30. I took a flashlight (手电筒) because I was sure the power was going to go out any second. Then no sooner had I gotten back from getting the flashlight than the weather reporter announced a Tornado Warning! I had never been in an actual tornado before, but I had seen some funnel clouds before in Montana.
Suddenly I realised I had no time to lose and I had to try to get my sister down the stairs to the basement in a matter of minutes. I surprisingly got her down there with no trouble at all and I raced back up the stairs to get the cordless phone. When I got back downstairs my dad called and told me to get downstairs immediately. I told him I was already down there! He said OK and we talked for a few seconds and then we hung up. Then_through_the_ basement_windows,_the_only_thing_I_could_see_was_lightning.
I do not recall hearing of any deaths, or too many injuries so I guess everyone got a good head start to run to their basements. Either that or we are all lucky.

C. he wanted to take care of his sister D. he was prepared for the power off

After an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time, particularly with the support of family and friends. Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly, while others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes, medical problems, and injury to family members. Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school.
Children often turn to adults for information, comfort and help. Parents should try to remain calm, answer children’s questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children’s behavior.
Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages, developmental levels and former experiences. Some will respond by withdrawing (不与人交往), while others will have angry outbursts (爆发). Parents should remain sensitive to each child’s reactions. Parents should spend time talking to their children, letting them know that it’s OK to ask questions and to share their worries. Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks, parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them. They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas. Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again. For young children, parents, after talking about the earthquake, might read a favorite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down. Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them. They could play games outside or read together indoors. Most importantly, be sure to tell them you love them.
12. The underlined phrase “contend with” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “________”.
A. deal with B. make up C. put off D. turn back
13. What can we know from the passage
A. All people will recover from an earthquake quickly.
B. Children may need a longer time to recover after an earthquake.
C. Children should turn to their classmates for help after an earthquake.
D. Children react in the same way as adults do to an earthquake.

A. read a favorite story to comfort them
B. ask them to help do some housework
C. be patient and answer the question again
D. take them out to play games
15. Which of the following pieces of advice is NOT mentioned in the passage

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章就震后如何帮助孩子恢复身心健康向家长提供了有关的建议。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词句“Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly, while others will have to contend_with the destruction of their homes, medical problems, and injury to family members. (一些家庭将能够很快恢复正常生活，而另一些家庭将不得不contend with家园的破坏、医疗问题和家庭成员的受伤。)”可知，一些家庭还好，而另一些家庭就不得不应对许多震后带来的问题，进而推断出，contend with为“应对”的意思，和A选项“deal with(处理，应对)”意思相近，故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school. (孩子们尤其需要时间从失去亲人、宠物或学校关闭的阴影中恢复过来。)”可知，孩子们可能需要更长的时间在地震后恢复。 故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again. (问题可能不止一次出现，当你再次回答问题时，父母应该保持耐心。)”可知，当孩子再问同样的问题时，父母要再次耐心回答。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。 根据文章最后一段中“Parents should remain sensitive to each child’s reactions. (父母应该对每个孩子的反应保持敏感。)”、“Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them. (父母也应该告诉孩子他们是安全的，并花更多的时间和他们在一起。)”以及“Most importantly, be sure to tell them you love them. (最重要的是，一定要告诉他们你爱他们。)”可知，ABC三项在文中都提到了，D项“Ask educational experts for help. (向教育专家寻求帮助。)”没有被提到。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了成都商业步行街——锦里。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一条位于四川成都的街道。分析句子可知，“(lie) in Chengdu, Sichuan”作后置定语修饰名词street，lie是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语street之间是主动关系，应用现在分词表主动。故填lying。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：这条街历史悠久，蕴含着丰富的中国传统文化。be rich in...是固定短语，意为“富于……；富有 ……”。故填in。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：沿着这条著名的街道，你可以看到一些古建筑。分析句子可知，可数名词building在句中作宾语，结合空格前some可知，应用复数名词。故填buildings。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：不久前，锦里被评为“全国十佳城市商业步行街”。分析句子可知，view(看待)是句中谓语动词，与主语Jinli之间是被动关系，句中有时间状语Years ago，应使用一般过去时态，又因主语Jinli是专有名词，单数概念，谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用一般过去时的被动语态，单数形式。故填was viewed。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意：每年，尤其是在春节期间，都会有大量的游客来到这条街上玩得尽兴。enjoy oneself是固定搭配，意为“过得快乐；玩得尽兴”，用反身代词作宾语，故填themselves。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：有很多餐馆提供特别的小吃。分析句子可知，空格处为限制性定语从句，修饰先行词restaurants，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作地点状语，表示“在这些餐馆”，应使用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：锦里还有一些同样吸引人的当地小吃，包括水饺。根据句意，提示词修饰形容词attractive，应用副词equally，作状语，意为“同样地”。故填equally。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它们都很美味，等着你去品尝。wait for sb.to do...是固定搭配，意为“等某人做……”，用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to taste。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：除了美味的小吃，锦里还有许多其他令人印象深刻的景点。根据句意，提示词修饰名词attractions，应用形容词impressive，作定语，意为“给人印象深刻的”。故填impressive。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：如果你有时间，去这条街逛逛，玩得开心点。pay a visit to...是固定短语，意为“访问，参观”。故填a。

A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom. One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child. The fire spread quickly, and the situation was terrible.
Neighbours called the fire department, then stood helplessly by, unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances. The little girl appeared at an upstairs window, crying for help, just as word spread among the crowd that the fire- fighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.
Suddenly, a man appeared with a ladder, put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside. When he reappeared, he had the little girl in his arms. He delivered the child to the waiting arms below, then disappeared into the night.
An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives, and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up.
A teacher said she would like to raise the child. She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education. A farmer offered her an upbringing (教养) on his farm. He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying. Others spoke, giving their reasons why it was to the child's advantage to live with them.
Finally, the town's richest resident rose and said, “I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here, plus money and everything that money can buy.”
Throughout all this, the child remained silent, her eyes on the floor.
“Does anyone else want to speak ” asked the meeting chairman. A man came forward from the back of the hall. He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain.

Then she looked up and smiled, stating happily she would live with him.
When asked her choice, the girl gave people the reasons firmly. She said in a low but determined voice, “I really desire to get a good education that will give me chances to live my dreams. Besides,I know that money means a lot to me since I have no relatives to rely on. But it's the man who saved my life when I was desperately facing a fire like that. Without him, I wouldn't be here, waiting for a new choice. I hope that I can do whatever I can to pay back his kindness.”

My name is Ben. I am 13, and I live in Chantilly, VA. Just yesterday, June 24, I was at home watching my sister, who is mentally handicapped (弱智的). My father was at work while my mother and younger sister were at my mother’s office.
I had noticed the clouds growing darker and the ones to the east were turning green. At first I thought nothing of it, but then on TV, the weather reporter was announcing a big thunderstorm warning, one that usually brings hail (冰雹) and heavy rain.
After seeing that, I called my mother and told her about it. She told me I should not be worried because it was just a thunderstorm so we hung up. Then I looked outside and noticed it was almost pitch black at 4：30. I took a flashlight (手电筒) because I was sure the power was going to go out any second. Then no sooner had I gotten back from getting the flashlight than the weather reporter announced a Tornado Warning! I had never been in an actual tornado before, but I had seen some funnel clouds before in Montana.
Suddenly I realised I had no time to lose and I had to try to get my sister down the stairs to the basement in a matter of minutes. I surprisingly got her down there with no trouble at all and I raced back up the stairs to get the cordless phone. When I got back downstairs my dad called and told me to get downstairs immediately. I told him I was already down there! He said OK and we talked for a few seconds and then we hung up. Then_through_the_ basement_windows,_the_only_thing_I_could_see_was_lightning.

After an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time, particularly with the support of family and friends. Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly, while others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes, medical problems, and injury to family members. Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school.
Children often turn to adults for information, comfort and help. Parents should try to remain calm, answer children’s questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children’s behavior.
Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages, developmental levels and former experiences. Some will respond by withdrawing (不与人交往), while others will have angry outbursts (爆发). Parents should remain sensitive to each child’s reactions. Parents should spend time talking to their children, letting them know that it’s OK to ask questions and to share their worries. Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks, parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them. They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas. Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again. For young children, parents, after talking about the earthquake, might read a favorite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down. Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them. They could play games outside or read together indoors. Most importantly, be sure to tell them you love them.
12. The underlined phrase “contend with” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “________”.
A. deal with B. make up C. put off D. turn back
13. What can we know from the passage
A. All people will recover from an earthquake quickly.
B. Children may need a longer time to recover after an earthquake.
C. Children should turn to their classmates for help after an earthquake.
D. Children react in the same way as adults do to an earthquake.
14. When children ask the same question again, parents should ________.
A. read a favorite story to comfort them
B. ask them to help do some housework
C. be patient and answer the question again
D. take them out to play games
15. Which of the following pieces of advice is NOT mentioned in the passage
A. Keep a close watch on children’s behavior.
B. Tell the children they are safe.
C. Tell the children you love them.
D. Ask educational experts for help.

47. 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。
A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom. One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child. The fire spread quickly, and the situation was terrible.
Neighbours called the fire department, then stood helplessly by, unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances. The little girl appeared at an upstairs window, crying for help, just as word spread among the crowd that the fire- fighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.
Suddenly, a man appeared with a ladder, put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside. When he reappeared, he had the little girl in his arms. He delivered the child to the waiting arms below, then disappeared into the night.
An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives, and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up.
A teacher said she would like to raise the child. She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education. A farmer offered her an upbringing (教养) on his farm. He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying. Others spoke, giving their reasons why it was to the child's advantage to live with them.
Finally, the town's richest resident rose and said, “I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here, plus money and everything that money can buy.”
Throughout all this, the child remained silent, her eyes on the floor.
“Does anyone else want to speak ” asked the meeting chairman. A man came forward from the back of the hall. He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain.
