二．阅读理解（共4小题）
2．There's truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining perspectives （远景） and exposing yourself to other cultures.We asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help you come up with a list of books that may transport readers to another time and place.Below，see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel around the world.
ITALY：Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter
This book written by the popular author Jess Walter is a love story that begins on the Italian Coast and eventually appears in contemporary Hollywood's screen.As the settings shift from Italy to Edinburgh and Los Angeles，you will find yourself longing to go as well.Buy it on Amazon.Price； ﹩28.90.
SEATTLE： Where'd You Go，Bernadette by Maria Semple
Maria Semple's first novel is not exactly a love story in Seattle，but if you read it，you just might want to come here to see if people are really as self﹣involved as the characters in her book.What really shines through is the strange storytelling.Buy it on Amazon.Price： ﹩ 26.60.
ENGLAND： Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
You can't travel to Thomas Cromwell's England without a time machine，but reading Mantel's prize﹣winning novel is the next best thing.It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside，most of which are still there.Buy it on Amazon.Price： ﹩25.10.
NANTUCKET： Here's to Us by Elin Hilderbrand
Elin Hilderbrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket.Her latest book is Here's to Us，which，perhaps not surprisingly，is a great beach book.Buy it on Amazon.Price： ﹩ 30.80.
（1）What is the feature of the book Where'd You Go，Bernadette？
A．Its low price.
B．Its characters.
C．Its content about love.
D．Its strange storytelling.
（2）What are you inspired to do by reading Wolf Hall？
A．Broaden your eyes.
B．Appreciate the English countryside.
C．Know the foreign culture.
D．Experience the joy and sadness of the characters.
（3）Why is Here's to Us suitable for reading on the beach？
A．Because it's about the author's hometown island.
B．Because it needs a time machine.
C．Because it's about ancient buildings.
D．Because it exposes yourself to other cultures.
3．Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running，research shows，while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does，however，have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes.The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50﹣kilometer race walk，which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact （接触） with the ground at all times.It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity，however，says Jaclyn Norberg，an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem，Mass.
Like running，race walking is physically demanding，she says.According to most calculations，race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would bum about 800 calories （卡路里） per hour，which is approximately twice as many as they would bum walking，although fewer than running，which would probably bum about 1，000 or more calories per hour.
However，race walking does not pound the body as much as running does，Dr.Norberg says.According to her research，runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step，while race walkers，who do not leave the ground，create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result，she says，some of the injuries associated with running，such as runner's knee，are uncommon among race walkers.But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips，so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.In fact，anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique，she says.It takes some practice.
（1）Why are race walkers conditioned athletes？
A．They must run long distances.
B．They are qualified for the marathon.
C．They have to follow special rules.
D．They are good at swinging their legs.
（2）What advantage does race walking have over running？
A．It's more popular at the Olympics.
B．It's less challenging physically.
C．It's more effective in body building.
D．It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
（3）What is Dr.Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking？
A．Getting experts' opinions.
B．Having a medical checkup.
C．Hiring an experienced coach.
D．Doing regular exercises.
（4）Which word best describes the authors attitude to race walking？
A．Skeptical.
B．Objective.
C．Tolerant.
D．Conservative.
4．Stan Lee，co﹣founder of the Marvel Universe（漫威宇宙） and co﹣creator of many of its most popular superheroes，died at the age of 95.
Lee was born Stanley Martin Lieber in New York in 1922.As a son of working﹣class Jewish immigrants from Romania，times were hard and he lived with his family in a shabby single﹣bedroom apartment.After graduating from high school at 16，Lieber landed a job as an assistant at Timely Comics.By the early 1940s，he was a temporary editor for the company.It was at this time that he began using his pen name﹣Stan Lee.In 1947，two years after returning from serving for the U.S.Army，Lee married his wife，Joan.The two began their 70﹣year marriage and had two children.
In the late 1950s，DC Comics breathed new life into its classic superhero and experienced a significant success with its updated version of the Flash，and later with super﹣team the Justice League of America.
To compete against DC Comics，Lee was given the task of creating their own group of superheroes.In 1961，Timely Comics changed its name into Marvel Comics after Atlas Comics，and that November saw the debut（首次亮相） of the Fantastic Four.Lee's later famous and lasting creations of comic﹣book superheroes included Spider﹣Man，the Hulk，Thor，Iron Man and the X﹣Men.
Over the course of his career，Lee was an icon of Marvel Comics.As a writer and editor and，at various points，both the publisher and vice president of Marvel Comics，Lee not only introduced interesting characters to the industry，but changed the way that comic books came together.He also created a cooperative workflow between writers and artists，which became known as the "Marvel Method".Lee received a National Medal of Arts in 2008 for his innovations that revolutionized American comic books.
（1）What do we know about Lee from paragraph 2？
A．He served for the U.S.Army for two years.

5．When it comes to the most influential painters of the United States in the 20th century，Grandma Moses should be mentioned，although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies.As she once said to herself， "I would never sit back in a rocking chair，waiting for someone to help me." No one could have had a more active old age.
She was born on a farm in New York State，one of five boys and five girls.At 12 she left home and was in the domestic service sector until at 27 she married Thomas Moses，the hired hand of one of her employers.They farmed most of their lives，first in Virginia and then at Eagle Bridge in New York State.She had ten children，five of whom survived；her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and she was really fond of embroidery（刺绣），but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff（僵硬的） to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time.Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who purchased all that she painted.Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art，and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York.Between the 1930's and her death，she produced some 2，000 pictures：careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long，with an amazing sense of color and form. "I think really hard till I think of something really pretty，and then I paint it，" she said.
（1）What can we learn about Grandma Moses？
A．She painted oils as a child.
B．Her marriage life was not happy.

三．信息匹配（共1小题）
6．Leaving a good impression can be done in different ways，from clothing to posture，and from talking style to body language.Below are several tips for you to begin with：
●Physical appearance matters.We're visual creatures after all.
Physical appearance is the first clue one relies on to judge who we are.（1） It also means the person means something to us by dressing properly.If it is a business setting，be aware of the dress rule or culture.（2） A thumbs﹣up here does not mean the same elsewhere.So do the research!Details from any little areas will affect the impression on the whole.
●（3）
A fake （假的） smile can potentially do more harm than good in our attempts to leave a good impression.It is understandable that sometimes it is hard to suddenly force a smile.（4） Remember being positive plays an important part in shaping our first impression.
●Look into people's eyes until you see the colors of their iris （虹膜）.
Keeping eye contact delivers a sense of friendship to the people we interact with.Consequently，they feel more connected to us and tend to be more positive toward the interaction.（5） Well，try to identify the color of the others' irises.Get it？That makes a good eye contact example.
Are these the impression we want to leave？Stop staring at the ground and look at people in the eye then!
A.What makes a quality eye contact？
B.How does eye contact affect interaction？
C.The requirement varies from culture to culture.
D.Then at least try not to look discouraging and angry!
E.Don't fake a smile，or people will doubt your sincerity.
F.Always smile while interacting with others，especially with a new friend.
G.Besides，it is a way to show respect by choosing appropriate clothes for different settings.

14．It was a rainy day，like every other rainy.day I've ever remembered.The only unusual thing was how anxious the adults seemed to be getting.
I started to pay more attention whenever I saw the news on at our house，at a restaurant，or anywhere else.The meteorologists（气象学家）kept saying that the rain hadn't stopped in a long time，and it didn't look like it was going to stop anytime soon.I didn't really know what that meant for us，since Mom was always saying that rain was good for all the plants.
The next morning，however，I began to understand.I woke up and went down for breakfast.Usually Mom or Dad was already eating by the time that I woke up，but neither of them was at the kitchen table，and the lights all over the house were off.This was weird，I thought.I went to get out the milk，but there was a note：on the refrigerator telling me not to open the door.As I was wondering what I could eat for breakfast，I noticed that the rain was still going.and that I could hear noises coming from the basement（地下室）.I went to investigate.Peeking through the basement door，I immediately stopped.There was water down there!It didn't look like a lot，but there were toys and things floating by!I could hear Mom and Dad's voices.
"Hello!What's going on down here？"I called.
"Good morning，Vicky.All of this rain is causing some problems.The power all over the town is out.Our basement is flooded，and so are some of the roads.A lot of houses have water in them，too，"Dad called back.
A little water didn't seem too bad，and the power had gone out before.Dad has already purchased a pump in case of the emergency，so I wasn't too worried.Mom and Dad seemed to be taking care of it.
Paragraph 1：
Down into the basement，however，I got frozen at the scene that had never came to me.___________
Paragraph2：
Helpless，we decided to drive around to see how other people in our town were doing.___________

3．Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running，research shows，while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does，however，have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes.The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50﹣kilometer race walk，which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact （接触） with the ground at all times.It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity，however，says Jaclyn Norberg，an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem，Mass.
Like running，race walking is physically demanding，she says.According to most calculations，race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would bum about 800 calories （卡路里） per hour，which is approximately twice as many as they would bum walking，although fewer than running，which would probably bum about 1，000 or more calories per hour.
However，race walking does not pound the body as much as running does，Dr.Norberg says.According to her research，runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step，while race walkers，who do not leave the ground，create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result，she says，some of the injuries associated with running，such as runner's knee，are uncommon among race walkers.But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips，so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.In fact，anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique，she says.It takes some practice.
（1）Why are race walkers conditioned athletes？ C
A．They must run long distances.
B．They are qualified for the marathon.
C．They have to follow special rules.
D．They are good at swinging their legs.
（2）What advantage does race walking have over running？ D
A．It's more popular at the Olympics.
B．It's less challenging physically.
C．It's more effective in body building.
D．It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
（3）What is Dr.Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking？ A
A．Getting experts' opinions.
B．Having a medical checkup.
C．Hiring an experienced coach.
D．Doing regular exercises.
（4）Which word best describes the authors attitude to race walking？ B
A．Skeptical.
B．Objective.
C．Tolerant.
D．Conservative.

【分析】本文是一篇健康环保类阅读，主要介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势，但是之前受过伤的人，要想从事这样运动要谨慎，最好咨询专家的建议。
【解答】（1）C.细节理解题。根据第二段But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.（但这项运动的规则要求竞走运动员的膝盖在摆动腿的大部分时间保持笔直，并且一只脚始终保持与地面接触。）可知，竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则。故选C。
（2）D.细节理解题。根据最后一段As a result，she says，some of the injuries associated with running，such as runner's knee，are uncommon among race walkers.（因此，她说，一些与跑步有关的损伤，比如跑步者的膝盖，在竞走运动员中并不常见。）可知，竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选D。
（3）A.推理判断题。根据最后一段Dr.Norberg说的话In fact，anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique.（事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员，学习适当的技巧。）可知，Dr.Norberg建议向尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选A。
（4）B.观点态度题。根据第一段Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running，research shows，while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does，however，have its own problem.（研究表明，竞走与跑步有许多健身好处，而且很可能有助于减少受伤。然而，它也有自己的问题。）可判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。结合选项：A.Skeptical怀疑的；B.Objective客观的；C.Tolerant宽容的；D.Conservative保守的。故选B。

（3）D．词义猜测题。最后一段介绍了Stan Lee的成就，作为漫威宇宙的创始人之一，Stan Lee可以算作是美国漫画历史上最伟大的人物之一，没有他可能就没有现在的漫威世界，所以他可以被称为是漫威宇宙的标志。故可知划线单词意思为"标志"，A．Statue雕像；B．Agent代理人；C．Assistant助手；D．Symbol象征。故选D。

Keeping eye contact delivers a sense of friendship to the people we interact with.Consequently，they feel more connected to us and tend to be more positive toward the interaction.（5） A Well，try to identify the color of the others' irises.Get it？That makes a good eye contact example.

14．It was a rainy day，like every other rainy.day I've ever remembered.The only unusual thing was how anxious the adults seemed to be getting.
I started to pay more attention whenever I saw the news on at our house，at a restaurant，or anywhere else.The meteorologists（气象学家）kept saying that the rain hadn't stopped in a long time，and it didn't look like it was going to stop anytime soon.I didn't really know what that meant for us，since Mom was always saying that rain was good for all the plants.
The next morning，however，I began to understand.I woke up and went down for breakfast.Usually Mom or Dad was already eating by the time that I woke up，but neither of them was at the kitchen table，and the lights all over the house were off.This was weird，I thought.I went to get out the milk，but there was a note：on the refrigerator telling me not to open the door.As I was wondering what I could eat for breakfast，I noticed that the rain was still going.and that I could hear noises coming from the basement（地下室）.I went to investigate.Peeking through the basement door，I immediately stopped.There was water down there!It didn't look like a lot，but there were toys and things floating by!I could hear Mom and Dad's voices.
"Hello!What's going on down here？"I called.
"Good morning，Vicky.All of this rain is causing some problems.The power all over the town is out.Our basement is flooded，and so are some of the roads.A lot of houses have water in them，too，"Dad called back.
A little water didn't seem too bad，and the power had gone out before.Dad has already purchased a pump in case of the emergency，so I wasn't too worried.Mom and Dad seemed to be taking care of it.
Paragraph 1：
Down into the basement，however，I got frozen at the scene that had never came to me.___________
Paragraph2：
Helpless，we decided to drive around to see how other people in our town were doing.___________

二．阅读理解（共4小题）
2．There's truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining perspectives （远景） and exposing yourself to other cultures.We asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help you come up with a list of books that may transport readers to another time and place.Below，see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel around the world.
ITALY：Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter
This book written by the popular author Jess Walter is a love story that begins on the Italian Coast and eventually appears in contemporary Hollywood's screen.As the settings shift from Italy to Edinburgh and Los Angeles，you will find yourself longing to go as well.Buy it on Amazon.Price； ﹩28.90.
SEATTLE： Where'd You Go，Bernadette by Maria Semple
Maria Semple's first novel is not exactly a love story in Seattle，but if you read it，you just might want to come here to see if people are really as self﹣involved as the characters in her book.What really shines through is the strange storytelling.Buy it on Amazon.Price： ﹩ 26.60.
ENGLAND： Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
You can't travel to Thomas Cromwell's England without a time machine，but reading Mantel's prize﹣winning novel is the next best thing.It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside，most of which are still there.Buy it on Amazon.Price： ﹩25.10.
NANTUCKET： Here's to Us by Elin Hilderbrand
Elin Hilderbrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket.Her latest book is Here's to Us，which，perhaps not surprisingly，is a great beach book.Buy it on Amazon.Price： ﹩ 30.80.
（1）What is the feature of the book Where'd You Go，Bernadette？
A．Its low price.
B．Its characters.
C．Its content about love.
D．Its strange storytelling.
（2）What are you inspired to do by reading Wolf Hall？
A．Broaden your eyes.
B．Appreciate the English countryside.
C．Know the foreign culture.
D．Experience the joy and sadness of the characters.
（3）Why is Here's to Us suitable for reading on the beach？
A．Because it's about the author's hometown island.
B．Because it needs a time machine.
C．Because it's about ancient buildings.
D．Because it exposes yourself to other cultures.
3．Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running，research shows，while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does，however，have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes.The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50﹣kilometer race walk，which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact （接触） with the ground at all times.It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity，however，says Jaclyn Norberg，an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem，Mass.
Like running，race walking is physically demanding，she says.According to most calculations，race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would bum about 800 calories （卡路里） per hour，which is approximately twice as many as they would bum walking，although fewer than running，which would probably bum about 1，000 or more calories per hour.
However，race walking does not pound the body as much as running does，Dr.Norberg says.According to her research，runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step，while race walkers，who do not leave the ground，create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result，she says，some of the injuries associated with running，such as runner's knee，are uncommon among race walkers.But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips，so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.In fact，anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique，she says.It takes some practice.
（1）Why are race walkers conditioned athletes？
A．They must run long distances.
B．They are qualified for the marathon.
C．They have to follow special rules.
D．They are good at swinging their legs.
（2）What advantage does race walking have over running？
A．It's more popular at the Olympics.
B．It's less challenging physically.
C．It's more effective in body building.
D．It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
（3）What is Dr.Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking？
A．Getting experts' opinions.
B．Having a medical checkup.
C．Hiring an experienced coach.
D．Doing regular exercises.
（4）Which word best describes the authors attitude to race walking？
A．Skeptical.
B．Objective.
C．Tolerant.
D．Conservative.
4．Stan Lee，co﹣founder of the Marvel Universe（漫威宇宙） and co﹣creator of many of its most popular superheroes，died at the age of 95.
Lee was born Stanley Martin Lieber in New York in 1922.As a son of working﹣class Jewish immigrants from Romania，times were hard and he lived with his family in a shabby single﹣bedroom apartment.After graduating from high school at 16，Lieber landed a job as an assistant at Timely Comics.By the early 1940s，he was a temporary editor for the company.It was at this time that he began using his pen name﹣Stan Lee.In 1947，two years after returning from serving for the U.S.Army，Lee married his wife，Joan.The two began their 70﹣year marriage and had two children.
In the late 1950s，DC Comics breathed new life into its classic superhero and experienced a significant success with its updated version of the Flash，and later with super﹣team the Justice League of America.
To compete against DC Comics，Lee was given the task of creating their own group of superheroes.In 1961，Timely Comics changed its name into Marvel Comics after Atlas Comics，and that November saw the debut（首次亮相） of the Fantastic Four.Lee's later famous and lasting creations of comic﹣book superheroes included Spider﹣Man，the Hulk，Thor，Iron Man and the X﹣Men.
Over the course of his career，Lee was an icon of Marvel Comics.As a writer and editor and，at various points，both the publisher and vice president of Marvel Comics，Lee not only introduced interesting characters to the industry，but changed the way that comic books came together.He also created a cooperative workflow between writers and artists，which became known as the "Marvel Method".Lee received a National Medal of Arts in 2008 for his innovations that revolutionized American comic books.

5．When it comes to the most influential painters of the United States in the 20th century，Grandma Moses should be mentioned，although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies.As she once said to herself， "I would never sit back in a rocking chair，waiting for someone to help me." No one could have had a more active old age.
She was born on a farm in New York State，one of five boys and five girls.At 12 she left home and was in the domestic service sector until at 27 she married Thomas Moses，the hired hand of one of her employers.They farmed most of their lives，first in Virginia and then at Eagle Bridge in New York State.She had ten children，five of whom survived；her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and she was really fond of embroidery（刺绣），but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff（僵硬的） to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time.Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who purchased all that she painted.Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art，and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York.Between the 1930's and her death，she produced some 2，000 pictures：careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long，with an amazing sense of color and form. "I think really hard till I think of something really pretty，and then I paint it，" she said.
（1）What can we learn about Grandma Moses？
A．She painted oils as a child.
B．Her marriage life was not happy.

6．Leaving a good impression can be done in different ways，from clothing to posture，and from talking style to body language.Below are several tips for you to begin with：
●Physical appearance matters.We're visual creatures after all.
Physical appearance is the first clue one relies on to judge who we are.（1） It also means the person means something to us by dressing properly.If it is a business setting，be aware of the dress rule or culture.（2） A thumbs﹣up here does not mean the same elsewhere.So do the research!Details from any little areas will affect the impression on the whole.
●（3）
A fake （假的） smile can potentially do more harm than good in our attempts to leave a good impression.It is understandable that sometimes it is hard to suddenly force a smile.（4） Remember being positive plays an important part in shaping our first impression.
●Look into people's eyes until you see the colors of their iris （虹膜）.
Keeping eye contact delivers a sense of friendship to the people we interact with.Consequently，they feel more connected to us and tend to be more positive toward the interaction.（5） Well，try to identify the color of the others' irises.Get it？That makes a good eye contact example.
Are these the impression we want to leave？Stop staring at the ground and look at people in the eye then!
A.What makes a quality eye contact？
B.How does eye contact affect interaction？
C.The requirement varies from culture to culture.
D.Then at least try not to look discouraging and angry!
E.Don't fake a smile，or people will doubt your sincerity.
F.Always smile while interacting with others，especially with a new friend.
G.Besides，it is a way to show respect by choosing appropriate clothes for different settings.

14．It was a rainy day，like every other rainy.day I've ever remembered.The only unusual thing was how anxious the adults seemed to be getting.
I started to pay more attention whenever I saw the news on at our house，at a restaurant，or anywhere else.The meteorologists（气象学家）kept saying that the rain hadn't stopped in a long time，and it didn't look like it was going to stop anytime soon.I didn't really know what that meant for us，since Mom was always saying that rain was good for all the plants.
The next morning，however，I began to understand.I woke up and went down for breakfast.Usually Mom or Dad was already eating by the time that I woke up，but neither of them was at the kitchen table，and the lights all over the house were off.This was weird，I thought.I went to get out the milk，but there was a note：on the refrigerator telling me not to open the door.As I was wondering what I could eat for breakfast，I noticed that the rain was still going.and that I could hear noises coming from the basement（地下室）.I went to investigate.Peeking through the basement door，I immediately stopped.There was water down there!It didn't look like a lot，but there were toys and things floating by!I could hear Mom and Dad's voices.
"Hello!What's going on down here？"I called.
"Good morning，Vicky.All of this rain is causing some problems.The power all over the town is out.Our basement is flooded，and so are some of the roads.A lot of houses have water in them，too，"Dad called back.
A little water didn't seem too bad，and the power had gone out before.Dad has already purchased a pump in case of the emergency，so I wasn't too worried.Mom and Dad seemed to be taking care of it.
Paragraph 1：
Down into the basement，however，I got frozen at the scene that had never came to me.___________
Paragraph2：
Helpless，we decided to drive around to see how other people in our town were doing.___________

3．Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running，research shows，while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does，however，have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes.The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50﹣kilometer race walk，which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact （接触） with the ground at all times.It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity，however，says Jaclyn Norberg，an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem，Mass.
Like running，race walking is physically demanding，she says.According to most calculations，race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would bum about 800 calories （卡路里） per hour，which is approximately twice as many as they would bum walking，although fewer than running，which would probably bum about 1，000 or more calories per hour.
However，race walking does not pound the body as much as running does，Dr.Norberg says.According to her research，runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step，while race walkers，who do not leave the ground，create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result，she says，some of the injuries associated with running，such as runner's knee，are uncommon among race walkers.But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips，so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.In fact，anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique，she says.It takes some practice.
（1）Why are race walkers conditioned athletes？ C
A．They must run long distances.
B．They are qualified for the marathon.
C．They have to follow special rules.
D．They are good at swinging their legs.
（2）What advantage does race walking have over running？ D
A．It's more popular at the Olympics.
B．It's less challenging physically.
C．It's more effective in body building.
D．It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
（3）What is Dr.Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking？ A
A．Getting experts' opinions.
B．Having a medical checkup.
C．Hiring an experienced coach.
D．Doing regular exercises.
（4）Which word best describes the authors attitude to race walking？ B
A．Skeptical.
B．Objective.
C．Tolerant.
D．Conservative.

（2）D.细节理解题。根据最后一段As a result，she says，some of the injuries associated with running，such as runner's knee，are uncommon among race walkers.（因此，她说，一些与跑步有关的损伤，比如跑步者的膝盖，在竞走运动员中并不常见。）可知，竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选D。
（3）A.推理判断题。根据最后一段Dr.Norberg说的话In fact，anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique.（事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员，学习适当的技巧。）可知，Dr.Norberg建议向尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选A。
（4）B.观点态度题。根据第一段Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running，research shows，while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does，however，have its own problem.（研究表明，竞走与跑步有许多健身好处，而且很可能有助于减少受伤。然而，它也有自己的问题。）可判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。结合选项：A.Skeptical怀疑的；B.Objective客观的；C.Tolerant宽容的；D.Conservative保守的。故选B。

（3）D．词义猜测题。最后一段介绍了Stan Lee的成就，作为漫威宇宙的创始人之一，Stan Lee可以算作是美国漫画历史上最伟大的人物之一，没有他可能就没有现在的漫威世界，所以他可以被称为是漫威宇宙的标志。故可知划线单词意思为"标志"，A．Statue雕像；B．Agent代理人；C．Assistant助手；D．Symbol象征。故选D。
（4）A．标题归纳题。根据文章第一段Stan Lee，co﹣founder of the Marvel Universe and co﹣creator of many of its most popular superheroes，died at the age of 95.可知Stan Lee，漫威宇宙的联合创始人和许多最受欢迎的超级英雄的共同创造者，去世，享年95岁。结合文章主要介绍了Stan Lee具有传奇色彩的一生。作为一名漫威创始人，他对美国的漫画进行了革新，创造了许多超级英雄，荣获了国家艺术奖章。故A选项"Stan Lee，漫威漫画的教父"符合文章标题。故选A。

5．When it comes to the most influential painters of the United States in the 20th century，Grandma Moses should be mentioned，although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies.As she once said to herself， "I would never sit back in a rocking chair，waiting for someone to help me."

6．Leaving a good impression can be done in different ways，from clothing to posture，and from talking style to body language.Below are several tips for you to begin with：
●Physical appearance matters.We're visual creatures after all.
Physical appearance is the first clue one relies on to judge who we are.（1） G It also means the person means something to us by dressing properly.If it is a business setting，be aware of the dress rule or culture.（2） C A thumbs﹣up here does not mean the same elsewhere.So do the research!Details from any little areas will affect the impression on the whole.

●Look into people's eyes until you see the colors of their iris （虹膜）.
Keeping eye contact delivers a sense of friendship to the people we interact with.Consequently，they feel more connected to us and tend to be more positive toward the interaction.（5） A Well，try to identify the color of the others' irises.Get it？That makes a good eye contact example.
Are these the impression we want to leave？Stop staring at the ground and look at people in the eye then!

14．It was a rainy day，like every other rainy.day I've ever remembered.The only unusual thing was how anxious the adults seemed to be getting.
I started to pay more attention whenever I saw the news on at our house，at a restaurant，or anywhere else.The meteorologists（气象学家）kept saying that the rain hadn't stopped in a long time，and it didn't look like it was going to stop anytime soon.I didn't really know what that meant for us，since Mom was always saying that rain was good for all the plants.
The next morning，however，I began to understand.I woke up and went down for breakfast.Usually Mom or Dad was already eating by the time that I woke up，but neither of them was at the kitchen table，and the lights all over the house were off.This was weird，I thought.I went to get out the milk，but there was a note：on the refrigerator telling me not to open the door.As I was wondering what I could eat for breakfast，I noticed that the rain was still going.and that I could hear noises coming from the basement（地下室）.I went to investigate.Peeking through the basement door，I immediately stopped.There was water down there!It didn't look like a lot，but there were toys and things floating by!I could hear Mom and Dad's voices.
"Hello!What's going on down here？"I called.
"Good morning，Vicky.All of this rain is causing some problems.The power all over the town is out.Our basement is flooded，and so are some of the roads.A lot of houses have water in them，too，"Dad called back.
A little water didn't seem too bad，and the power had gone out before.Dad has already purchased a pump in case of the emergency，so I wasn't too worried.Mom and Dad seemed to be taking care of it.
Paragraph 1：
Down into the basement，however，I got frozen at the scene that had never came to me.___________
Paragraph2：
Helpless，we decided to drive around to see how other people in our town were doing.___________
【答案】Down into the basement，however，I got frozen at the scene that had never come to me.All the furniture that was once carefully arranged now was in a great mess，one table leaning against the eastern wall while the desk floating against the seemingly breaking window on the other side. Dad was fumbling through the chaos for the long﹣packed pump in the cupboard up on the wall.On reaching the cupboard door，Dad stayed motionless，realizing the power had been cut off and the pump now was just useless metal pieces.
Helpless，we decided to drive around to see how other people in our town were doing.A lot of roads were closed and one bridge was even shut because of the rushing water over it!Seeing a man filling bags with sand to keep the water away，we stopped to help.During conversations，we learned this man habitually saved things for emergency and the non﹣stop rain this time urged him to get fully prepared beforehand with badly﹣needed stuff against the possible flood.His house now was safe and sound.How important it was to save necessities for a rainy day!

【点评】解题方法点拨
（1）品读原文，确定文章线索
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜（结尾）"。
（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
