This morning my family and I went to a friend's home to help her get things back in order. She was one of the unfortunate people whose home was recently destroyed by a tornado(龙卷风). One side of her home fell off and the roof was gone over a large part of the house. Torrential rain fell the rest of the night and all of the next day following the tornado, creating even more damage to her belongings. The home is a total loss. Still, there is much that is valuable, and our job today was to help her sort through the debris and find anything with actual value that she may want to take with her.
My husband helped to move furniture and other things to the storeroom while our two younger children helped clean up the yard. My oldest daughter and her boyfriend helped as well, and my another daughter with me swept up all of the areas of debris, sorting it for things that are important. We worked systematically, clearing the main living space first, then moving on to the kitchen, laundry area, then the master bedroom.
By the time we were done today, though there was no denying that the home had met with disaster, we had gone far to restore order from the loss that had been there before.
My thought in entering the day was that our friend, who had been having trouble sleeping, was being affected by that loss negatively. I hoped that if we could restore order, she would finally start to feel some sense of peace and her mind would quiet and allow her the much?needed rest she so deserves.
She posted on Facebook just a little while ago that for the first time she was sleeping at night. For me, what a wonderful and deeply meaningful way to begin the New Year!
24．What does the underlined word“debris”in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．The dust caused by tornado. B．Something that is valuable.
C．Something that the owner needs. D．The remains of something destroyed.
25．How many children does the author have at least?
A．5. B．4.
C．3. D．2.
26．What can we learn from the passage?
A．The author's friend has no family.
B．The author's family did much to restore order.
C．The author's friend couldn't sleep well owing to the loss.
D．The author's family managed to help her friend rebuild a new house.
27．What's the best title for the text?
A．A Way to Help Friends B．The Love from Friends
C．The Loss after the Tornado D．A Way to Welcome the New Year
C
There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but actually are not.
“Face the music”is a good example. When someone says he has to face the music, it does not mean he is going to a musical show or concert. To face the music means to accept the bad results of a behavior.
Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says，“Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away. But please do not drive it. It is a very fast car and you are not on the insurance(保险)．”But you do not listen. You want to show it to some friends and pretend(假装)the car is yours. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and 揻ace the music. The搈usic攈ere is the result of your behavior. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.
There are other American expressions that mean the same as揻ace the music．
To“take your medicine”means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says，“You made your bed. Now lie in it.”He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!
“Pay the piper”also means the same as“face the music”. But that expression has its own very interesting beginning. We will talk about that in the next Words And Their Stories.
28．What's the main idea of this passage?
A．To invite a friend to go to a musical performance.
B．To tell people how to deal with a bad situation.
C．To give people a lesson on an action.
D．To introduce some expressions.
29．Which action belongs to “take your medicine”？
A．You broke the traffic rules and caused an accident.
B．You worked hard but failed in the exam.
C．You caught a cold and took some medicine.
D．You moved to a new city and lost touch with your old friends.
30．Which of the following expressions doesn't have the same meaning with the others?
A．Face the music. B．Take your medicine.
C．Make your bed. D．Pay the piper.
31．The next paragraph may talk about ________.
A．other words and their stories B．the beginning of “pay the piper”
C．the wider use of “face the music” D．an example of “take your medicine”
D
One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?
Listen桳isten when they are talking. Don't say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it's not necessary for you to have anything to say；they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.
Help them—If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don't do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case (以防) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.
Be there for them—Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U．S. actor, once said，“I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can't stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve (值得)to be with me at my best.”Always remember this！If you don't want to stay with your friends when they're in hard times, then you don't deserve to be with them when they're having a good time!
________—Try to organize some activities with your friends ahead of time. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you'll remember these things when you're all old!
32．While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, what should you do?
A．To give him or her some advice. B．To just listen unless asked.
C．To calm him or her down. D．To share your feelings as well.
33．What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe's words?
A．Life without a friend is death. B．A friend is easier lost than found.
C．A friend in need is a friend indeed. D．A man is known by his friends.
34．Which of the following can be put in the blank of the last paragraph?
A．Make plans. B．Enjoy yourself.
C．Understand your friends. D．Play with your friends.
35．What is the passage mainly about?
A．How to find a good friend. B．How to help friends in trouble.
C．How to be a good friend. D．How to make more friends.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A Vacation with My Mother
I had an interesting childhood. It was filled with surprises and amusements, all because of my mother條oving, sweet, and yet absent璵inded and forgetful. One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her.
My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota, and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way. As the first day of our trip approached, David,_my eight瓂ear璷ld brother, and I unwillingly said good璪ye to all of our friends. Who knew if we'd ever see them again？Finally, the moment of our departure arrived, and we loaded suitcases, books, games, camping equipment, and a tent into the car and bravely drove off. We bravely drove off again two hours later after we'd returned home to get the purse and traveler's checks Mom had forgotten.
David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept：“You stand outside the door and play lookout(放哨)while I go, and I'll stand outside the door and play lookout while you go.”I had terrible pictures in my mind：“Honey, where are the kids？”“What？！Oh, Gosh... I thought they were being awfully quiet.”We were never actually left behind in a strange city, but we weren't about to take any chances.
On the fourth or fifth night, we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy. After driving in vain for some time, Mom suddenly got a great idea：Why didn't we find a house with a likely?looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there？David and I became nervous. To our great relief, Dad turned down the idea. Mom never could understand our objections(反对). If a strange family showed up on her front doorsteps, Mom would have been delighted. She thinks everyone in the world is as nice as she is. We finally found a vacancy in the next town.

28．答案与解析：D 主旨大意题。根据首段“There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but actually are not”可知，本文要介绍美式英语中许多表达听起来很简单，但其实真实含义并非如此的一些表达。
29．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据第五段中“To‘take your medicine’means to accept the results from something bad you have done.”可知，take your medicine的意思是接受你所做的坏事的结果。四个选项所给的例子中A项(你违反了交通规则，造成了交通事故)和“take your medicine”的意思相符。
30．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。文中对四个选项的意思分别进行了解释，Pay the piper和Take your medicine都是Face the music的同义词组，意思是接受自己的行为不好的结果。根据第五段中“‘You made your bed. Now lie in it.’ He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results，or as we say in American spoken English，you must deal with it！”可知，Make your bed的意思是制造了一个糟糕的局面，所以Make your bed与其他几个词组意思不同，故选C项。
31．答案与解析：B 推理判断题，文章最后一段提到了Pay the piper这个词组有一个很有意思的起源，根据最后一句“We will talk about that in the next Words And Their Stories”可知，下一段要讲的是Pay the piper的起源。
D
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。友谊是世界上最珍贵的一种感情，那么你怎么才能够收获他人的友谊，让他或她做你的朋友呢？你要做的首先是要成为他人的朋友。本文告诉了你怎么做。
32．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。从第二段中“they just need someone to talk to about their feelings”可知，有时候，他们(朋友)需要的只是有人能够听他们谈论内心情感；再结合本段主题句“Listen—Listen when they are talking.”可知，选B。
33．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。“But if you can't stay with me at my worst，you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.”意为“在我最糟糕的日子里如果你不能留下来和我一起，那么你就不配在我最好的时候和我在一起”，故选C“患难见真情”。A项“Life without a friend is death”意为“没有朋友，虽生犹死”；B项“A friend is easier lost than found.”意为“得朋友难，失朋友易”；D项“A man is known by his friends.”意为“视其友，知其人”。
34．答案与解析：A 段落大意题。抓住本段主题句中“Try to organize some activities with your friends ahead of time.”的关键词ahead of time以及“By planning things together, you both can have a good time.”中的by planning things together可知，本段主要讲“和朋友在一起做事情也要有所计划”，故选A。学生容易误选D项，D项中心词为play，与本段中心词plan不相符，故错误。
35．答案与解析：C 主旨大意题。抓住第一段的主题句“But how can you be a good friend at school？”以及接下来的四条建议可知，本文主要讲“如何做一个好的朋友”，故选C项。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。作者就“如何正确开始每一天”这一问题，给出了四条建议。
36．答案与解析：D 根据设空处前的“So, starting your day on the right foot is most important”和下文的四条建议可知，设空处承上启下，故选D项(下面是如何正确开始新一天的四条建议)。
37．答案与解析：B 根据设空处前的“The early bird gets the worm.”及下文的This expression可知，设空处仍是关于这句俗语的内容。关键词为bird。故选B项。
38．答案与解析：A 根据设空处前的“He is angry about some political issues and the heated discussion pulls you in.”和空后的“You hurry out the door so as not to be late for work.”可知，设空处是说早晨起来浏览社交媒体的后果：在你意识到之前，时间已经过去了很久。故选A项。
39．答案与解析：F 本段标题Exercise！和设空处前的“By the day's end, you may not have the time or energy to exercise.”对应F项中的关键词Exercising和that。故选F项。
40．答案与解析：C 设空处后“It may help you to prepare if you take a few minutes to think about what you need to do the next day.”中的take a few minutes to think about what you need to do the next day对应C项中的spend a little time to think about tomorrow。故选C项。
第三部分
第一节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一个与足球有关的故事。作者想成为球队里最棒的球员，并向最优秀的球员Miller看齐。但是Miller因为车祸失去了右臂而不能参加比赛了。在Miller受伤之后，作者脱颖而出，成为最有价值的球员。作者感到内疚，但是他的表现得到了Miller的认可。
41．答案与解析：D 考查名词。根据前文“我要在足球上打败Miller King”可知，全校最好的球员是Miller King，故选D。
42．答案与解析：A 考查名词。根据前文“all summer long I worked out”可知，作者整个夏天都随身带着足球是为了练习，故选A。
43．答案与解析：C 考查名词。根据前文“Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm”可知，他出车祸住院了，然后从医院回来，故选C。
44．答案与解析：A 考查形容词。根据前文“他刚从医院回来”可知，他脸色苍白，故选A。
45．答案与解析：B 考查动词。根据下文“We went 10 — 1 and I was named most valuable player...”可知，“我”打破了Miller所有的记录，故选B。
46．答案与解析：D 考查动词。根据空后的“the home games from the bench”可知，他坐在凳子上看比赛，故选D。
47．答案与解析：C 考查连词。根据上下文可知，前后两部分在语意上是转折关系，应用(but)，故选C。
48．答案与解析：C 考查名词。根据空前的Miller's以及前文讲述的Miller因为车祸而不能参加比赛的情况可知，我经常做噩梦，在梦中我应该为Miller的事故负责，故选C。
49．答案与解析：B 考查形容词。根据空后的“if you had both arms”可知，现在他卡住了，如果有两只胳膊，过篱笆对于他来说不是难事，故选B。
50．答案与解析：B 考查动词。根据前文可知，他卡在那里，再根据空后“him move slowly over the fence”可知，我帮助他越过篱笆，故选B。
51．答案与解析：D 考查形容词。根据前文的“move slowly over the fence”和空后的“on the other side”可知，最后我们安全了，故选D。
52．答案与解析：A 考查副词。根据前文“We went 10 — 1 and I was named most valuable player”可知，Miller认为作者表现得很好，故选A。
53．答案与解析：C 考查代词。根据空前的filling in 可知，因为Miller受伤，“我”代替了他，Miller感谢“我”填补了他的空缺，故选C。
54．答案与解析：D 考查名词。根据前文“I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame”可知，他的话让“我”从这些不好的梦中摆脱出来，故选D。
55．答案与解析：B 考查形容词。根据空后的“and a little more real”可知，自己渐渐长大了，故选B。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明，生长在贫困和高失业率的社区会降低学生高中毕业的可能性。
56．答案与解析：greatly 考查副词。句意：一项研究表明，在贫困社区长大会极大地降低孩子高中毕业的可能性。修饰动词应用副词greatly。
57．答案与解析：longer 考查形容词的比较级。句意：一个孩子在那样的社区生活的时间越长，有害的影响就越严重。此处为“the＋比较级．..，the＋比较级．..”结构，意为“越……，就越……”，故本空应用形容词long的比较级longer。
58．答案与解析：to discover 考查不定式。句意：美国大学的Geoffrey Wodtke和David Harding的研究是第一个发现这个现象的。本空作定语，修饰the first，故应用不定式。
59．答案与解析：Compared 考查固定短语。句意：与在普通社区长大的孩子相比，在贫困和失业率高的社区长大的黑人孩子高中毕业的可能性从96%降至76%。compared to意为“与……相比”。
60．答案与解析：graduation 考查名词。句意参考上题。根据空前的of和句意可知，本空应用名词graduation。
61．答案与解析：reducing 考查现在分词。分析句子结构可知，此处在句中作伴随状语，The effect与reduce之间是逻辑上的主动关系，故本空应用现在分词。
62．答案与解析：It 考查固定句型。“It seems that...”是固定句型，其中seems是系动词，that从句是表语从句。
63．答案与解析：is needed 考查时态及语态。句意：……为了解决我们在研究中发现的问题，政府似乎需要立即努力改善社区。根据第62空后的seems可知本空应用一般现在时，且an immediate effort和need之间为被动关系，故本空应用一般现在时的被动语态。
64．答案与解析：that/which 考查定语从句。本空引导定语从句，修饰problems，关系词在从句中作宾语，指物，故应填that或which。
65．答案与解析：on 考查介词。句意：好的社区可能会对孩子多年甚至几代以后的发展都产生好的影响。have an impact on意为“对……有影响”，故本空应用介词on。

参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
The next day we remembered the brand?new tent we had brought with us. Although we didn't want to sleep in the tent,_we had to agree with Mom's idea because we all expected to go camping in nature. So we stopped our car at a river. Dad started to set up the tent with us while Mom was ready to take out some necessaries from the car.“Wow！” Suddenly Mom had a terrible shout.“What's your trouble？” we asked.“I forgot to bring our food，”Mom answered worriedly. Hearing that, we had a good laugh over her. What a forgetful and absent?minded Mom！In fact, she put the food in the trunk of our car.
Paragraph 2：
We drove through several states and saw lots of great sights along the way. The bright blue sky, the limitless green grass, the group of sheep, the setting sun and the countless stars in the curtain of nights kept me spellbound. Not only did we see the wonderful scenery, we also managed to consider Mom's scandals as a kind of fun. It was a nice trip that we'd remember forever!

This morning my family and I went to a friend's home to help her get things back in order. She was one of the unfortunate people whose home was recently destroyed by a tornado(龙卷风). One side of her home fell off and the roof was gone over a large part of the house. Torrential rain fell the rest of the night and all of the next day following the tornado, creating even more damage to her belongings. The home is a total loss. Still, there is much that is valuable, and our job today was to help her sort through the debris and find anything with actual value that she may want to take with her.
My husband helped to move furniture and other things to the storeroom while our two younger children helped clean up the yard. My oldest daughter and her boyfriend helped as well, and my another daughter with me swept up all of the areas of debris, sorting it for things that are important. We worked systematically, clearing the main living space first, then moving on to the kitchen, laundry area, then the master bedroom.
By the time we were done today, though there was no denying that the home had met with disaster, we had gone far to restore order from the loss that had been there before.
My thought in entering the day was that our friend, who had been having trouble sleeping, was being affected by that loss negatively. I hoped that if we could restore order, she would finally start to feel some sense of peace and her mind would quiet and allow her the much?needed rest she so deserves.
She posted on Facebook just a little while ago that for the first time she was sleeping at night. For me, what a wonderful and deeply meaningful way to begin the New Year!
24．What does the underlined word“debris”in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．The dust caused by tornado. B．Something that is valuable.
C．Something that the owner needs. D．The remains of something destroyed.
25．How many children does the author have at least?
A．5. B．4.
C．3. D．2.
26．What can we learn from the passage?
A．The author's friend has no family.
B．The author's family did much to restore order.
C．The author's friend couldn't sleep well owing to the loss.
D．The author's family managed to help her friend rebuild a new house.
27．What's the best title for the text?
A．A Way to Help Friends B．The Love from Friends
C．The Loss after the Tornado D．A Way to Welcome the New Year
C
There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but actually are not.
“Face the music”is a good example. When someone says he has to face the music, it does not mean he is going to a musical show or concert. To face the music means to accept the bad results of a behavior.
Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says，“Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away. But please do not drive it. It is a very fast car and you are not on the insurance(保险)．”But you do not listen. You want to show it to some friends and pretend(假装)the car is yours. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and 揻ace the music. The搈usic攈ere is the result of your behavior. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.
There are other American expressions that mean the same as揻ace the music．
To“take your medicine”means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says，“You made your bed. Now lie in it.”He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!
“Pay the piper”also means the same as“face the music”. But that expression has its own very interesting beginning. We will talk about that in the next Words And Their Stories.
28．What's the main idea of this passage?
A．To invite a friend to go to a musical performance.
B．To tell people how to deal with a bad situation.
C．To give people a lesson on an action.
D．To introduce some expressions.
29．Which action belongs to “take your medicine”？
A．You broke the traffic rules and caused an accident.
B．You worked hard but failed in the exam.
C．You caught a cold and took some medicine.
D．You moved to a new city and lost touch with your old friends.
30．Which of the following expressions doesn't have the same meaning with the others?
A．Face the music. B．Take your medicine.
C．Make your bed. D．Pay the piper.
31．The next paragraph may talk about ________.
A．other words and their stories B．the beginning of “pay the piper”
C．the wider use of “face the music” D．an example of “take your medicine”
D
One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?
Listen桳isten when they are talking. Don't say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it's not necessary for you to have anything to say；they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.
Help them—If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don't do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case (以防) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.
Be there for them—Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U．S. actor, once said，“I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can't stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve (值得)to be with me at my best.”Always remember this！If you don't want to stay with your friends when they're in hard times, then you don't deserve to be with them when they're having a good time!
________—Try to organize some activities with your friends ahead of time. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you'll remember these things when you're all old!
32．While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, what should you do?
A．To give him or her some advice. B．To just listen unless asked.
C．To calm him or her down. D．To share your feelings as well.
33．What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe's words?
A．Life without a friend is death. B．A friend is easier lost than found.
C．A friend in need is a friend indeed. D．A man is known by his friends.
34．Which of the following can be put in the blank of the last paragraph?
A．Make plans. B．Enjoy yourself.
C．Understand your friends. D．Play with your friends.
35．What is the passage mainly about?
A．How to find a good friend. B．How to help friends in trouble.
C．How to be a good friend. D．How to make more friends.

A Vacation with My Mother
I had an interesting childhood. It was filled with surprises and amusements, all because of my mother條oving, sweet, and yet absent璵inded and forgetful. One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her.
My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota, and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way. As the first day of our trip approached, David,_my eight瓂ear璷ld brother, and I unwillingly said good璪ye to all of our friends. Who knew if we'd ever see them again？Finally, the moment of our departure arrived, and we loaded suitcases, books, games, camping equipment, and a tent into the car and bravely drove off. We bravely drove off again two hours later after we'd returned home to get the purse and traveler's checks Mom had forgotten.
David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept：“You stand outside the door and play lookout(放哨)while I go, and I'll stand outside the door and play lookout while you go.”I had terrible pictures in my mind：“Honey, where are the kids？”“What？！Oh, Gosh... I thought they were being awfully quiet.”We were never actually left behind in a strange city, but we weren't about to take any chances.
On the fourth or fifth night, we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy. After driving in vain for some time, Mom suddenly got a great idea：Why didn't we find a house with a likely?looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there？David and I became nervous. To our great relief, Dad turned down the idea. Mom never could understand our objections(反对). If a strange family showed up on her front doorsteps, Mom would have been delighted. She thinks everyone in the world is as nice as she is. We finally found a vacancy in the next town.

33．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。“But if you can't stay with me at my worst，you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.”意为“在我最糟糕的日子里如果你不能留下来和我一起，那么你就不配在我最好的时候和我在一起”，故选C“患难见真情”。A项“Life without a friend is death”意为“没有朋友，虽生犹死”；B项“A friend is easier lost than found.”意为“得朋友难，失朋友易”；D项“A man is known by his friends.”意为“视其友，知其人”。

参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
The next day we remembered the brand?new tent we had brought with us. Although we didn't want to sleep in the tent,_we had to agree with Mom's idea because we all expected to go camping in nature. So we stopped our car at a river. Dad started to set up the tent with us while Mom was ready to take out some necessaries from the car.“Wow！” Suddenly Mom had a terrible shout.“What's your trouble？” we asked.“I forgot to bring our food，”Mom answered worriedly. Hearing that, we had a good laugh over her. What a forgetful and absent?minded Mom！In fact, she put the food in the trunk of our car.
Paragraph 2：
We drove through several states and saw lots of great sights along the way. The bright blue sky, the limitless green grass, the group of sheep, the setting sun and the countless stars in the curtain of nights kept me spellbound. Not only did we see the wonderful scenery, we also managed to consider Mom's scandals as a kind of fun. It was a nice trip that we'd remember forever!
