Earthquake in Japan
The 8.9-magnitude earthquake that struck Japan’s coast on March 11 would have been the year’s worst disaster. But it was the tsunami it triggered that would cause?the most lasting damage. The surge of water reached 30 feet high and traveled more than three miles inland. More than 15,000 people were killed by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami. But it is the?nuclear meltdown?that the tsunami caused that everyone is talking about and will likely be talking about for years to come.
注释：

Drought in East Africa
A widespread drought over the summer laid waste to food and water supplies across the region, sparking?the worst famine?in decades. Somalia, already?a failed state?was the hardest hit. The famine?worsened in September?as the United Nations reported that half the country was in need of emergency aid. It now estimates that as many as 30,000 children have died as a result.
注释：
lay waste to 对......的损毁 spark 引发 hit 一击，击中，成功而风行一时的事物

Thai officials say that about 800 people have been killed as a result of the floods, but some suggest that number?is likely higher. More than 12 million people were affected and the World Bank reported that damages could reach as high as $45 billion — making it one of the costliest disasters in recent history.
注释：

Typhoon in the Philippines
The storm first made landfall (登陆) on Dec. 16. In less than 12 hours, about 8 inches of rain blanketed the region, triggering flash floods and landslides.

The tornado outbreak was quickly followed a month later in Joplin, Missouri that wiped out the town and killed 158 people. Add to that a devastating winter blizzard in the Midwest, Hurricane Irene on the East Coast and a massive drought across the South, and 2011 becomes one of the worst years for natural disaster in United States history.

Getting to Know Your Dad
Most men have somewhat tumultuous relationships with their fathers. We love them, admire them, hate them, rebel against them, and ideally end up with a great friend where a parent used to be. Making that transition can be challenging, though. Here are some tips to help you get closer to your father on a man-to-man level.
First of all, you don’t have to get too emotional. If you’re uncomfortable with the idea of showing your emotions, chances are pretty good that your dad feel the same way. You simply need to take the right approach, one that allows you to talk with your father and learn about him, but without making everything feel like a TV drama.
Hobbies are a good place to start. If your dad taught you any of the pastimes that you currently enjoy, dive tight back into them and show him what you’ve learned. Your hobby will serve as a good start point to help you develop a healthy friendship. Don’t immediately jump into time intensive activities such as camping or fishing trips. Try to set up a regular time to just hang out. Let’s say you don’t have any hobbies in common with your father. Many guys are in this position. This is where beer comes in. Just meet your dad at a bar to put one or two back, or if you don’t drink, get a casual dinner somewhere.
Don’t act like a kid. Remember that if you want your dad to treat you like the adult you are, you’ve got to show him that you’ve grown up. Be willing to talk about things such as money, sex and other taboo subjects that you regularly discuss with your friends. Your dad can take it. He’s been doing this whole “life” thing longer than you have. Just be honest.
To build a relationship with your father as an adult, you need to show him respect and invest some time. It’s not the easiest thing in the world, but it’s important. There are thousands of guys out there who’d love to be able to talk to their fathers; make them jealous. Take the first step.
1. What should you do if both you and your father are not good at baring emotions?
A. Talk about your common hobbies.
B. Make everything feel like a TV drama.
C. Watch TV together with your father.
D. Put up a TV drama for your father.
2. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence?
A. Many guys are sitting in the wrong position.
B. Many guys don’t share any common hobbies with their fathers.
C. Many guys have the right thought.
D. Many guys have no hobby.
3. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The problems between father and son.
B. How to approach your father freely as an adult man.
C. How to act as an adult before your father.
D. Tips for men about how to cheer their fathers up.
4. For whom is this passage written?
A. Fathers. B. Adult sons. C. Mothers. D. Physiologists.
四、选词填空

答案与解析
一、单项选择
1. D。look forward to后接动词-ing形式作宾语，要填having或being given；chance 后接不定式作定语，表示将来，即“要做某事的机会”。
2. A。表示某事是“令人兴奋的”，用exciting；否定句中用“a+比较级”相当于最高级，所以选A。句意：我从没有听过（比这个）更好的报告了。
3. C。warn sb. (not) to do sth. 警告某人(不)做某事。此句是被动句。
4. B。a great diversity of 多种多样的；由句意和and可知，因为公园很多花在展出，应该有很多人参观，所以选B。plenty of 不与a great连用，意为“许多”。diverse是形容词，表示“多种多样的”。
5. D。考查固定搭配。protect...from意为“保护……不受伤害”；prevent...from意为“阻止……做某事”。
6. C。guarantee保证，担保；result结果；record记录；reaction反应，回应。句意：聪明并不总是在考试中取得好成绩的保证，你最好用心多学知识并多练习。
7. C。“中国是瓷器和茶叶的原产地。”此题考查固定短语，be home to 是……的栖息地/原产地。
8. B。anxiety 焦虑；relief 放松，放心；view 观点；judgment 判断。由题干后半句可知选B项。to one’s relief 令人如释重负的是。
9. A。句意：与他的同学相比，他是不幸的，他的家被烧毁了。burn to the ground 烧成平地；rebuilt up 重建；run out of 用光。
10. C。句意：不幸的是他不会讲英语，他本应该学习英语的。要用形容词作表语，表示主语的性质，排除A、D两个副词；根据句意可排除B。
11. D。go out of one’s way 特地，不怕麻烦地做某事；have it both ways 脚踩两只船；mend one’s way 改邪归正；make one’s way to 前进，前往。
12. C。be impressed表示“(对……) 印象深刻的”，此处指Robert的厨艺给我留下深刻的印象，符合题意。
13. D。panic表示“（使）惊慌”，可以是及物动词，也可以是不及物动词。afraid和frightened为形容词，要加be才能放Don’t后；terrify表示“使惊恐，恐吓”，一般是及物动词，后接宾语。
14. A。句意：学生的能力参差不齐，这要求不同的教学方法。diverse 不同的；consequent 作为结果的；bare 赤裸裸的；automatic 自动的。
15. B。考查with 的复合结构。his mouth与touch之间是主动关系，所以用动词-ing形式。作宾语补足语。
二、完形填空
1. B。根据下文“We set a place for blame...”及下面Jane一家的故事对照可知，作者的家人喜欢相互责怪。

三、阅读理解
1. A。细节理解题。由第二段及第三段第一句可知，如果你和父亲都不善言辞，两个人的共同爱好是一个很好的起点。
2. B。推理判断题。划线句子中的“this position”指代上文的“you don’t have any hobbies in common with your father”，因而只有B项说法正确。A项只是字面意思，C、D项理解错误。
3. B。主旨大意题。短文第一段为主题段，由此可知文章主要介绍的是成年男子和父亲处理好关系的技巧。选项D句意：给男人们使他们的父亲振作起来的窍门。短文主要指成年男子与父亲平时的相处的方法。
4. B。推理判断题。本文主要讲了成年儿子如何处理好和父亲的关系，尤其倒数第二段都表明读者是成年的儿子。

If we are in the classroom, we should quickly hide underneath our desks or cover our heads with school bags or other things until the shaking stops. When earthquake stops, we should leave the dangerous area as soon as possible. Don’t panic; just follow the teacher’s instructions. Keeping in good order makes it easy and fast to leave.

“This is all your 2 , Katharine,” my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher 3 .
From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table.
4 , the Whites didn’t worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and 5 with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.
In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car 6 from their home in Florida to New York.

The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.
Jane was killed immediately. I was only 13 injured. The most difficult thing that I’ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful 14 it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.
When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head and Amy’ s leg was broken. They hugged us all and cried tears of 15 and of joy at seeing their daughters. They 16 away the girls’ tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches（拐杖）.
To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “We’re so glad that you’re alive.”
I was 17 . No blame. No accusations.
Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.
Mrs. White said, “Jane’s gone, and we miss her 18 . Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she 19 a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister’s death?”
They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago. She works 20 a teacher of learning-disabled students. She’s also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.

Getting to Know Your Dad
Most men have somewhat tumultuous relationships with their fathers. We love them, admire them, hate them, rebel against them, and ideally end up with a great friend where a parent used to be. Making that transition can be challenging, though. Here are some tips to help you get closer to your father on a man-to-man level.
First of all, you don’t have to get too emotional. If you’re uncomfortable with the idea of showing your emotions, chances are pretty good that your dad feel the same way. You simply need to take the right approach, one that allows you to talk with your father and learn about him, but without making everything feel like a TV drama.
Hobbies are a good place to start. If your dad taught you any of the pastimes that you currently enjoy, dive tight back into them and show him what you’ve learned. Your hobby will serve as a good start point to help you develop a healthy friendship. Don’t immediately jump into time intensive activities such as camping or fishing trips. Try to set up a regular time to just hang out. Let’s say you don’t have any hobbies in common with your father. Many guys are in this position. This is where beer comes in. Just meet your dad at a bar to put one or two back, or if you don’t drink, get a casual dinner somewhere.
Don’t act like a kid. Remember that if you want your dad to treat you like the adult you are, you’ve got to show him that you’ve grown up. Be willing to talk about things such as money, sex and other taboo subjects that you regularly discuss with your friends. Your dad can take it. He’s been doing this whole “life” thing longer than you have. Just be honest.
To build a relationship with your father as an adult, you need to show him respect and invest some time. It’s not the easiest thing in the world, but it’s important. There are thousands of guys out there who’d love to be able to talk to their fathers; make them jealous. Take the first step.

2. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence?

C. Many guys have the right thought.
D. Many guys have no hobby.

答案与解析
一、单项选择
1. D。look forward to后接动词-ing形式作宾语，要填having或being given；chance 后接不定式作定语，表示将来，即“要做某事的机会”。
2. A。表示某事是“令人兴奋的”，用exciting；否定句中用“a+比较级”相当于最高级，所以选A。句意：我从没有听过（比这个）更好的报告了。
3. C。warn sb. (not) to do sth. 警告某人(不)做某事。此句是被动句。
4. B。a great diversity of 多种多样的；由句意和and可知，因为公园很多花在展出，应该有很多人参观，所以选B。plenty of 不与a great连用，意为“许多”。diverse是形容词，表示“多种多样的”。
5. D。考查固定搭配。protect...from意为“保护……不受伤害”；prevent...from意为“阻止……做某事”。
6. C。guarantee保证，担保；result结果；record记录；reaction反应，回应。句意：聪明并不总是在考试中取得好成绩的保证，你最好用心多学知识并多练习。
7. C。“中国是瓷器和茶叶的原产地。”此题考查固定短语，be home to 是……的栖息地/原产地。
8. B。anxiety 焦虑；relief 放松，放心；view 观点；judgment 判断。由题干后半句可知选B项。to one’s relief 令人如释重负的是。
9. A。句意：与他的同学相比，他是不幸的，他的家被烧毁了。burn to the ground 烧成平地；rebuilt up 重建；run out of 用光。
10. C。句意：不幸的是他不会讲英语，他本应该学习英语的。要用形容词作表语，表示主语的性质，排除A、D两个副词；根据句意可排除B。
11. D。go out of one’s way 特地，不怕麻烦地做某事；have it both ways 脚踩两只船；mend one’s way 改邪归正；make one’s way to 前进，前往。
12. C。be impressed表示“(对……) 印象深刻的”，此处指Robert的厨艺给我留下深刻的印象，符合题意。
13. D。panic表示“（使）惊慌”，可以是及物动词，也可以是不及物动词。afraid和frightened为形容词，要加be才能放Don’t后；terrify表示“使惊恐，恐吓”，一般是及物动词，后接宾语。
14. A。句意：学生的能力参差不齐，这要求不同的教学方法。diverse 不同的；consequent 作为结果的；bare 赤裸裸的；automatic 自动的。
15. B。考查with 的复合结构。his mouth与touch之间是主动关系，所以用动词-ing形式。作宾语补足语。
二、完形填空
1. B。根据下文“We set a place for blame...”及下面Jane一家的故事对照可知，作者的家人喜欢相互责怪。
2. A。“这是你的过错。”责备别人的话。fault 是“过错、责任”的意思。

5. D。move on 继续走，转移（到新事物上）。

9. C。根据下文，姐姐们轮流开车。

12. D。没有人知道她是怎么回事。注意前面的否定词didn’t。
13. B。我只是受了点轻伤。
14. A。虽然我很痛苦，失去了朋友，可她的父母更痛苦。as 意为“虽然”，注意表语提前。
15. B。既高兴又悲痛的眼泪。 pity 遗憾；sadness 悲伤；shame 羞耻，惭愧；sympathy 同情。
16. C。擦去女儿的眼泪。sweep 打扫，拂去；wipe 擦（去）；clean（使）清洁。

1. A。细节理解题。由第二段及第三段第一句可知，如果你和父亲都不善言辞，两个人的共同爱好是一个很好的起点。
2. B。推理判断题。划线句子中的“this position”指代上文的“you don’t have any hobbies in common with your father”，因而只有B项说法正确。A项只是字面意思，C、D项理解错误。
3. B。主旨大意题。短文第一段为主题段，由此可知文章主要介绍的是成年男子和父亲处理好关系的技巧。选项D句意：给男人们使他们的父亲振作起来的窍门。短文主要指成年男子与父亲平时的相处的方法。
4. B。推理判断题。本文主要讲了成年儿子如何处理好和父亲的关系，尤其倒数第二段都表明读者是成年的儿子。
