difference
Ⅰ.完形填空
I
received
a
letter
from
a
woman
who
lives
in
New
York.
She
mentioned
that

22?year?old
electrician
son
Joe
went
to
Manhattan
a
few
days
after
the
September
11,
2001
terrorist
attack.
He
wanted
to
__1__
his
services,
but
discovered
that
his
__2__
were
not
needed.
Joe
may
have
helped
in
a
way
he
never
expected.
On
the
train
home,
he
sat
across
from
a
tired
firefighter
__3__
with
what
appeared
to
be
__4__
and
debris(碎片).
Though
he
could
see
bits
of
rock
in
the
man's
__5__
and
noticed
that
his
hands
were
bloody,
what
__6__
the
young
man
most
was
the
look
in
the
firefighter's
eyes.
They
appeared
lifeless
and
dull.
Then
the
man
began
to
talk
and
Joe
listened.
He
talked
about
finding
a
shoe
with
a
__7__
inside.
Joe
listened.
He
talked
about
__8__
debris
from
a
face,
then
discovering
this
person's
body
was
gone.
Joe
listened.
And
as
he
listened,
he
didn't
__9__
with
disgust.
He
didn't
judge.
He
didn't
interrupt.
He
__10__
listened.
He
listened
as
the
firefighter
talked
about
shoes...there
were
so
many
shoes,
he
said.
Everywhere...shoes.
Through
it
all
Joe
quietly
held
the
man's
attention
and
listened,
which
is
exactly
what
the
rescue
worker
__11__
at
that
moment.
And
because
he
listened,
the
man
__12__
to
speak.
He
talked
his
__13__
out
as
much
as
possible.
And
Joe
helped
him
carry
his
unbelievably
heavy
burden.
That
day
Joe
didn't
give
blood,
nor
did
he
use
his
__14__
skills
to
help
.
But
he
did
one
of
the
most
__15__
things
a
human
can
do
for
another.
He
gave
a
disheartened
man
his
whole
attention,
and
thereby
immeasurably
assisted
in
the
work
of
setting
the
world
right.

Making

阅读理解
A
Samuel
Morse
was
born
in
Massachusetts
USA.
He
started
off
his
career
as
an
inventor
after
being
a
painter
and
sculptor
(雕塑家).
He
even
earned
a
gold
medal
from
the
famous
Adelphi
Society
of
Arts
for
his
first
effort
in
sculpture,
the
“Dying
Hercules”.
He
became
the
first
president
of
the
National
Academy
of
Design,
and
was
made
Professor
of
the
Arts
of
Design
in
the
University
of
the
City
of
New
York.
Yet,
this
painter
turned
to
inventing
to
make
his
fortune
during
a
sea
voyage.
On
this
journey,
Samuel
Morse
heard
about
many
attempts
to
create
usable
telegraphs.
He
was
fascinated
by
this
problem
and
began
to
study
books
on
physics
for
two
years
to
gain
more
scientific
knowledge.
He
realized
that
pulses
(脉冲)
of
electrical
current
could
carry
information
over
wires.
Thus
the
world's
first
working
model
of
a
telegraph
was
born.
His
signaling
device
was
quite
simple.
It
consisted
of
a
transmitter
(containing
a
battery
and
a
key),
a
small
buzzer
(蜂鸣器)
as
a
receiver
and
a
pair
of
wires
connecting
the_two.
Samuel
Morse
improved
it
by
adding
a
switch
and
a
second
buzzer
to
allow
transmission
(传播)
in
the
opposite
direction
as
well.
On
May
24,
1844
Samuel
Morse
sent
the
first
electronic
message
between
Baltimore
and
Washington,
“Look
what
God
has
enabled
us
to
build,
and
benefit
by.”
Seventeen
years
later,
the
two
coasts
of
the
United
States
were
linked
by
telegraph.
The
telegraph
continued
to
enjoy
the
position
of
being
the
fastest
and
most
reliable
means
of
communication
for
almost
140
years
since
its
invention.
这是一篇记叙文。记叙了塞缪尔·莫尔斯发明了世界上第一个电报模型的经过。

答案：B
B
It's
nothing
unusual
for
people
to
multitask
nowadays.
But
the
ability
to
do
a
number
of
things
at
the
same
time
could
be
different
between
the
two
sexes.
A
team
of
UK
researchers
recently
compared
the
performances
of
120
women
and
120
men
in
a
computer
test
about
switching(转换)
between
tasks
of
counting
and
shape
recognition.
Men
equaled
women
when
tasks
were
done
one
at
a
time.
But
when
the
tasks
were
mixed
up,
there
was
a
clear
difference.
According
to
the
paper
published
in
the
journal
BMC
Psychology,
both
women
and
men
slowed
down
and
made
more
mistakes
as
the
switching
became
more
rapid.
But
men
were
slower,
taking
77
percent
longer
to
answer,
while
women
took
69
percent
longer.
To
make
the
experiment
more
connected
to
day?to?day
life,
researchers
tried
a
second
test.
A
group
of
women
and
men
were
given
eight
minutes
to
complete
a
series
of
everyday
tasks,
such
as
finding
restaurants
on
a
map,
doing
simple
math
problems,
answering
a
phone
call,
or
deciding
how
they
would
search
for
a
lost
key
in
a
field.
Once
again,
women
performed
better
than
men
in
the
test,
especially
in
the
key?searching
task.
Where
do
women
get
the
ability
to
keep
organized
under
pressure
better
than
men?
Researchers
believe
that
it
has
its
origins
in
evolution
(进化).
In
ancient
times,
women
had
to
keep
an
eye
on
children
while
cooking
meals.
Meanwhile,
men
only
needed
to
focus
on
hunting.
However,
as
with
all
studies,
the
results
don't
necessarily
apply
to
every
single
person
in
the
world.
“We
don't
mean
that
men
can't
multitask,
or
that
only
women
can，”
researcher
Keith
Laws
of
the
University
of
Hertfordshire,
UK,
told
BBC
News.
“We
are
saying
that
the
average
woman
is
better
able
to
organize
her
time
and
switch
between
tasks
than
the
average
man.”
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了在测试中，研究人员发现一般而言，女性比男性更善于在不同任务之间切换，但是有些男性和女性一样擅长多任务处理。
4．In
the
tests,
researchers
found
that
________.
A．women
were
better
at
switching
between
tasks
than
men
B．women
made
more
mistakes
than
men
when
multitasking
C．men
were
better
at
counting
and
shape
recognition
than
women
D．men
completed
a
series
of
daily
tasks
more
quickly
than
women
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句及倒数第三段Once
again,
women
performed
better
than
men
in
the
test,
especially
in
the
key?searching
task.(同样，女性在测试中表现得比男性更好，尤其是在线索寻找任务中。)可知，在测试中，研究人员发现女性比男性更善于在不同任务之间切换，故选A。
答案：A
5．What
is
the
main
purpose
of
Paragraph
6?
A．To
give
advice
on
how
to
improve
the
ability
to
multitask.
B．To
show
how
men
and
women
think
and
respond
otherwise.
C．To
compare
the
roles
of
men
and
women
in
human
communities.
D．To
explain
why
men
and
women
perform
differently
in
multitasking.
解析：推理判断题。第六段开头便提出女性在压力下比男性更有组织能力的原因是什么。研究人员认为它起源于进化。在古代，妇女做饭时必须照看孩子。与此同时，男性只需要专注于狩猎。由此推断出，第六段的主要目的是解释为什么男性和女性在多任务处理方面表现不同，故选D。
答案：D
6．Which
of
the
following
would
Keith
Laws
most
probably
agree
with?
A．All
women
are
born
to
be
good
at
multitasking.
B．Some
men
are
as
good
at
multitasking
as
women.
C．Men
shouldn't
do
jobs
that
call
for
multitasking
skills.
D．Every
woman
is
better
able
to
multitask
than
every
man.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段
“We
don't
mean
that
men
can't
multitask,
or
that
only
women
can，”
researcher
Keith
Laws
of
the
University
of
Hertfordshire,
UK,
told
BBC
News.
“We
are
saying
that
the
average
woman
is
better
able
to
organize
her
time
and
switch
between
tasks
than
the
average
man.”(英国赫特福德郡大学的研究人员Keith
Laws在接受BBC采访时说：“我们并不是说男性不能同时处理多项任务，或者只有女性才能。我们的意思是，平均来说，女性比男性更善于安排自己的时间，在不同的任务之间切换。”)由此推断出，Keith
Laws会同意“有些男人和女人一样擅长多任务处理”这样的观点，故选B。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Nelle
Harper
Lee
was
born
on
April
28,1926.
Since
Lee's
mother
was
mentally
ill,
she
was
raised
by
her
father.
She
became
very
close
to
her
father.
The
naughty
Lee
loved
reading,
and
would
make
up
stories
with
Truman,
her
neighbour
who
was
two
years
older
than
her.
Seeing
her
daughter's
imagination,
Lee's
father
gave
her
a
typewriter.
Before
her
final
year
in
the
University
of
Alabama,
Lee
dropped
out
to
become
a
writer.
She
moved
to
New
York
City
where
her
childhood
friend
Truman
was
already
established
as
a
famous
writer.
While
there,
she
worked
on
her
first
book—To
Kill
a
Mockingbird.
It
won
her
the
Pulitzer
Prize
in
1961
and
was
made
into
an
Academy
Award
winning
movie
the
following
year.
To
Kill
a
Mockingbird
tells
the
story
of
six?year?old
Scout
and
her
brother
who
lived
in
the
town
of
Maycomb
Alabama
with
their
single
father
Attics.
Attics
is
a
lawyer
who
defends
the
blacks.
At
a
young
age,
Scout
is
exposed
to
the
terrors
of
segregation(宗族隔离).
Then,
in
2014,
the
first
draft
of
a
new
book—Go
Set
a
Watchman
was
discovered
among
Lee's
papers.
It
is
the
story
of
26?year?old
Scout
who
returns
to
Maycomb
to
visit
her
father.
She
is
shocked
to
find
her
father
a
changed
man.
Attics
has
turned
into
a
segregationist!
The
story
shows
the
mixed
feelings
Scout
has
for
the
changes
that
have
taken
place
in
her
hometown
and
father.
A
loner
for
most
of
her
life,
Lee
stayed
unmarried,
preferring
to
lead
a
small
town
life.
On
February
19,2016,
Lee
passed
away
at
the
age
of
89.
本文属于记叙文，讲述Nelle
Harper
Lee的一生和成名作《杀死一只知更鸟》和《设立守望者》。
1．What

Lee?
A．She
became
a
professional
writer
at
college.
B．She
developed
a
gift
for
writing
in
childhood.
C．She

her
brother
who
lived
in
the
town
of
Maycomb

loner
for
most
of
her
life,
Lee
stayed
unmarried,
preferring
to
lead
a
small
town
life.可知，Lee大部分时间都是一个不合群者，终生未嫁，喜欢小镇生活，这些都表示她不喜欢社交，故选A。
答案：A
Ⅱ.七选五
What
is
the
best
way
to
catch
someone
who
is
telling
a
lie?
__1__
What
if
the
person
appears
to
be
nervous?
Is
the
person
unable
to
look
me
in
the
eyes?
Is
he
or
she
looking
around
the
room?
__2__
Many
people—from
parents
to
police
officers
and
airport
security
personnel—depend
on
this
method.
But
can
a
person's
body
and
face
reveal
the
truth?
__3__
That
is
what
researchers
in
the
United
Kingdom
found
out
recently.
Their
investigation
took
place
at
one
place
where
lying
can
get
you
into
big
trouble—an
airport.
The
researchers
asked
volunteers
to
pretend
they
were
real
passengers
and
then
lie
to
airport
security
agents.
Some
of
the
agents
used
spoken
conversation?based
methods
to
question
these
make?believe
passengers.
Others
depended
instead
on
the
person's
body
language,
like
lack
of
eye
contact
and
showing
sings
of
nervousness.
The
agents
talking
with
the
passengers
were
20
times
more
likely
to
catch
the
liars.
__4__
Body
language
can't
be
trusted.
Using
body
language
and
facial
expressions
to
catch
someone
in
a
lie
is
really
hard.
__5__
A．For
a
long
time,
the
traditional
method
of
identifying
liars
was
to
watch
their
body
language,
including
facial
expressions.
B．They
are
just
chatting
about
themselves.
C．Liars
will
often
change
their
speaking
style
when
they
are
questioned.
D．What
about
other
nervous
movements,
such
as
fidgeting
or
shifting
from
side
to
side?
E．Talking,
it
seems,
is
the
best
way
to
smoke
out
a
liar.
F．And
it
only
works,
seemingly,
by
chance.
G．The
study
found
that
these
conversation?based
techniques
can
help
you
recognize
when
a
person
is
lying
to
you.

I
felt
like
a
good
mother
on
that
summer
morning.
I'd
__1__
up
early,
made
a
picnic
lunch,
gathered
my
three?and
five?year?old
daughters
into
the
car,
drove
to
my
friend's
house,
packed
her
and
her
__2__
into
the
car,
and
drove
an
hour
and
a
half
to
the
shore
where
we
__3__
our
picnic
cloth
on
the
sands
by
10
am.
Soon
the
girls
began
running.
About
50
yards
from
us,
a
man,
maybe
__4__
his
late
50s,
was
fishing.
The
girls
stood
next
to
him
and
watched
with
their

open
__5__
he
cast
the
lines.
He
smiled
at
them.
They
all
ran
back
to
us
except
my
three?year?old
Drew,
who,
__6__，
just
seated
herself
next
to
the
white
bucket
where
the
man
was
probably
planning
to
put
the
fish
he
caught.
However,
suddenly
a
__7__
came
to
my
mind.
Is
it
dangerous
for
Drew
to
stay
there
with
the
stranger?
Good
moms
should
also
teach
daughters
that
the
world
is
dangerous.
Then,
I
watched
them
like
there
was
a
hidden
__8__
in
the
lifeguard
chair
filming
the
man
as
America's
Most

Every
few
minutes,
I
looked
to
my
five?year?old
to
make
sure
she
hadn't
been
swept
out
to
sea,
then
back
to
Drew
to
make
sure
there
was
no
__9__
between
her
and
the
stranger.
When
I
looked
at
Drew
again,
she
had
started
__10__
with
the
man.
She
was
probably
telling
him
where
we
lived
and
how
her
father
was
away
on
__11__.
He
nodded.
She
kept
talking.
He
nodded
again,
then
they
laughed.
A
few
seconds
later,
she
ran
back
to
us,
with
a
toy
fish
in
her
hand.
It
must
have
been
something
__12__
he
used
for
bait
(饵).
The
three
other

were
__13__，
so
they
didn't
try
to
hide
how
eager
they
were
to
have
one.
Just
when
I
was
at
a
loss,
there
he
was:
the
man,
standing
right
next
to
us.
He
was
holding
three
more
toy
fish.
He
handed
them
to
each
of
the
girls.
By
their
faces,
I
realized
that
he
was
__14__
a
warm?hearted
man,
meaning
no
harm
at
all.
“Thank

I
said,
realizing
that
yes,

there
is

Ⅱ.阅读理解
I
recently
came
in
contact
with
celebrity
magazines.
My
family
isn't
one
to
give
money
for
pictures
of
skinny,
drunk
celebrities
with
paragraphs
about
their
relationships
and
shopping
cart
times.
Thus,
I
was
excited
to
finally
get
a
chance
to
read
about
other
people's
attractive
yet
troubled
lives.
Right
away
I
noticed
how
each
magazine
seemed
to
be
a
copy
of
the
other.
They
had
headlines
and
pictures
that
were
almost
the
same.
Still,
the
pictures
of
perfectly
constructed
faces
with
cute
designers'
outfits
going
on
with
their
daily
lives
made
me
read
on.
Wait,
celebrities
taking
their
dogs
for
walk?
Spending
an
afternoon
at
a
park?
All
of
these
things
seemed
so
ordinary—things
my
own
family
and
I
do
together
often.
I
suddenly
realized
how
unextraordinary
the
people
in
these
magazines
were.
They
are
simply
normal
people
who
happen
to
have
a
cool
job
and
much
money.
For
some
reason,
pictures
of
them
doing
things
like
buying
milk
at
a
store
appeal
to
millions
of
readers.
Then,
when
these
regular
people
mess
up,
their
mistakes
are
painted
onto
hundreds
of
newspapers
and
Internet
sites.
What
if
every
time
we
made
a
mistake,
it
was
made
public?
Have
you
ever
failed
a
test?
Imagine
seeing
pictures
of
you
on
the
front
of
a
newspaper
with
headlines
like,
“Regular
Schooling
Isn't
Enough”.
You'd
be
embarrassed.
Now,
I'm
not
necessarily
taking
the
celebrity's
side.
I'm
more
realizing
the
fact
that
these
people
we
were
crazy
about
are
just
ordinary
human
beings
with
many
photographs
following
them
around.
Role
models?
I'd
think
not.
Personally,
I'd
rather
look
up
to
people
in
any
community
who
have
accomplished
a
lot
instead
of
an
ordinary
person
walking
his
dog
in
Berverly
Hills.

答案：D
Ⅲ.读后续写
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。续写的词数应为150左右。
“Hey！”
the
voice
called
from
behind
me.
“Are
you
a
girl
or
a
duck？”
I
ignored
the
comments
because
I
knew
they
were
from
the
mean
girl,
Betsy.
I
ran
to
my
class,
causing
my
slight
limp(跛行)to
become
even
more
apparent.
Already,
I
could
see
that
things
would
be
different
here.
At
my
old
school,
I
had
a
group
of
friends
to
protect
me.
However,
in
this
new
school,
I
was
on
my
own.
I
took
my
place
in
the
first
row
of
desks
and
I
was
grateful
for
alphabetic
seating.
My
last
name
came
at
the
beginning
of
the
alphabet
and
Betsy's
last
name
came
at
the
end.
As
the
weeks
went
on,
though,
I
made
friends
with
two
girls
named
Fran
and
Lisa
who
sat
near
me
in
class.
Whenever
Betsy
made
one
of
her
remarks,
they
would
wave
it
off
and
tell
me
to
ignore
her.
Still,
I
hated
that
I
didn't
walk
like
everyone
else.
I
didn't
like
not
being
able
to
run
as
fast
or
as
straight
as
the
other
kids
and
I
didn't
like
getting
picked
last
for
teams
in
gym
class.
Mostly,
though,
I
really
hated
it
when
people
like
Betsy
made
negative
remarks
about
how
I
walked.One
day,
our
teacher
asked
us
to
change
seats.
“Class，”
our
teacher
addressed
us
one
morning,
“you've
been
in
the
same
seats
for
a
full
semester
and
you've
become
friendly
with
the
students
around
you.
Now
it's
time
to
change
seats
and
make
some
new
friends.”
The
class
let
out
a
collective
moan(抱怨).
As
she
assigned
the
new
seating,
Fran,
Lisa,
and
I
looked
at
each
other
and
waited
for
our
names
to
be
called.
We
didn't
want
to
be
separated.
And
we
especially
didn't
want
to
sit
anywhere
near
Betsy.
Finally,
Betsy
sat
directly
behind
me.I
knew
this
wasn't
going
to
be
good
and
I
soon
discovered
I
was
right.
Betsy
often
leaned
into
my
back:
“Quack,
quack！”
When
I
ignored

Ⅳ.七选五
We
just
went
Christmas
shopping
this
weekend,
just
to
pick
up
a
little
here
and
there
for
the
kids.
__1__.
We
have
discovered
how
to
save
time
and
money
through
a
little
research.
Follow
me
and
you
can
find
some
excellent
tips.
First
thing
that
you
want
to
do
is
to
make
a
list
of
what
you
are
looking
for
exactly.
__2__.
This
will
make
your
shopping
experience
less
painful
and
time?wasting.
It
will
also
help
with
making
it
less
expensive.
You
won't
be
persuaded
to
buy
things
that
you
don't
need
or
want
because
it
is
on
sale.
__3__.
If
you
are
familiar
with
the
stores
that
you
are
looking
into
buying
things
from,
you
will
already
know
how
they
work.
For
example,
Wal?Mart
gives
excellent
pricing
only
for
online
sales,
as
well
as
free
shipping.
When
leaving
your
favorite
stores,
you
want
to
look
for
exactly
what
is
on
your
list.
Compare
prices
and
availability.
__4__.
Don't
just
depend
on
your
favorite
stores,
visiting
the
ones
that
you
don't
often
shop.
Sometimes
you
will
come
across
things
at
prices
you
never
knew
in
your
familiar
store.
After
price
shopping,
go
back
to
the
stores
that
have
the
best
price
for
the
thing
you
want
and
buy
it.
__5__
You
may
get
it
for
a
great
price,
but
the
shipping
and
handling
costs
will
make
you
spend
more
if
you
are
not
careful.
A．We
have
to
go
shopping
in
our
daily
life.
B．We
were
shocked
by
the
crowds
and
the
costs.
C．Don't
forget
to
go
online
to
your
favorite
stores.
D．Know
what
it
is
that
you
are
in
need
of
before
you
go
shopping.
E．Don't
be
persuaded
to
buy
you
don't
need
at
all
at
home.
F．Something
you
need
badly
may
not
be
sold
online
or
in
the
store.
G．Care
about
not
only
the
cost
of
the
thing,
but
also
the
shipping
cost.

I
often

know
that
one.
Was
the

good?
M：Well,

some

excellent.

I
was
sitting
out
there
last
Tuesday,
reading
my
book
while
I
ate
lunch.
Then
I
realized
I

so
I
got
up

ran
to
my

forgot
to
take
my

W：I

M：Did

No

It's

My

to

for

W：It
was
a
quiet
Sunday
afternoon
and
I
was
reading
my
favorite
novel
in
the
garden,
expecting
a
couple
of
hours
of
peace
and
quiet.
I
heard
a
bus
arriving
at
the
end
of
the
garden,
and
then
I
heard
a
loud
knock
on
the
door.
I
went
out,
and
there
were
4
elderly
ladies
wearing
their
Sunday
dresses
and
carrying
their
handbags,
looking
very
happy
and
friendly.
And
they
said，“Well,
we
are
sorry.
We
hope
we
are
not
late,
but
we
couldn't
find
the
house
very
easily.”Clearly
they
thought
that
it
was
the
right
place
to
be.
And
then
one
of
them
said
very
helpfully,
“Well,
your
husband
was
very
kind
to
invite
us
to
tea.”
So
I
thought,
“Goodness,
my
husband
must
have
gone
mad
and
forgotten
to
tell
me.”
So
I
asked
them
into
the
house
and
they
sat
down
and
started
talking
happily.
Then
when
my
husband
appeared
they
didn't
speak
to
him，I
thought
this
was
surprising
because
they
said
they
had
been
invited
by
him.
And
he
looked
a
bit
shocked
to
see
them
sitting
there.
And
then
they
quickly
discovered
that
it
was
the
wrong
husband
and
they
were,
in
fact,
expected
at
a
house
on
the
other
side
of
the
village.

第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
My
kids
sit
in
Gee's
living
room
and
respectfully
lift
antique
Christmas
ornaments
(装饰品)
out
of
a
cardboard
box.
They
giggle
at
Ann,
who
is
a
foreign
character
to
them.
Gee
stands
beside
them,
quietly
explaining
each
treasure.
She
tells
me
that
she
and
Tom
built
their
ornament
collection
piece
by
piece.
She
smiles
as
we
leave
with
the
box.
We
first
met
Tom
and
Gee
in
the
early
days
of
our
marriage.
Someone
had
been
returning
our
garbage
cans
to
the
garage
each
garbage
day,
and
Jim
and
I
had
wondered
who.
Then
one
day
we
spotted
him:
an
elderly
man
who
lived
across
the
street.
I
baked
cookies
and
left
them
outside
with
a
thank?you
note.
When
we
got
home
that
day,
a
typed
letter
had
replaced
the
gift.
The
letter
was
from
Tom
and
explained
back
when
he'd
been
fighting
a
war,
neighbors
had
taken
the
time
to
handle
the
garbage
cans
for
his
young
wife,
Gee,
and
he
never
forgot.
Now
he
paid
it
forward
by
doing
the
same
for
all
of
us.
A
few
years
after
we'd
moved
in,
Tom
died.We
photocopied
that
letter
and
attached
it
to
one
of
our
own
for
Gee.
We
told
her
how
special
Tom
had
been
to
us.
She
wrote
back
and
told
us
she
still
talked
to
Tom
every
day.
These
days,
we're
piling
up
boxes
of
our
own.
We're
planning
a
move.
We
know
it's
time
to
go,
and
yet
we
can't
seem
to
stick
the
For
Sale
sign
up
on
the
lawn.
It's
not
just
Gee.
It's
the
man
who
lets
our
kids
pick
peaches
off
the
tree
in
his
front
yard.It's
the
ladies
who
leave
overflowing
baskets
for
our
kids
on
Easter.
Jim
and
I
agree
to
wait
until
January.
This
Christmas,
we'll
decorate
our
tree
with
Gee's
ornaments,
out
of
the
box
labeled
in
Tom's
handwriting.
Maybe
I'll
talk
to
him
just
as
Gee
still
does.
“Thank
you，”
I'll
say.
“For
teaching
us
what
it
means
to
be
a
neighbor.”
本文是一篇记叙文。文章告诉我们“什么才是真正的邻居”。

答案：C
B
Fifty?seven
years
ago,
young
Quentin
entered
this
world.
“Action！”
he
must
have
yelled
then
to
his
mum.
When
he
was
two,
his
whole
family
moved
to
Los
Angeles,
and
before
Quentin
Tarantino
turned
a
teenager,
he
had
already
seen
more
movies
than
most
people.
In
his
twenties
he
started
working
at
the
Manhattan
Beach
Video
Archives,
where
he
made
some
important
friendships
and
tried
his
hand
at
making
a
first
movie.
It
would
take
another
few
years
until
he
would
sell
the
scripts
for
True
Romance
and
Natural
Born
Killers,
and
shortly
after
go
on
and
conquer
the
film
festival
circuit
in
a
storm
with
Reservoir
Dogs.
And
so
it
began...
With
upside
down,
QT
finally
turned
Hollywood
upside
down
for
good,
and
established
himself
as,
what
they
would
then
call,
an
“enfant_terrible”
of
the
new
film
making
community.
To
this
day,
Pulp
Fiction
counts
as
a
completely
original
masterpiece,
which
sometimes
even
to
his
most
loyal
fans
he
has
not
matched
again.
After
Jackie
Brown,
he
took
a
pause
for
a
while,
not
turning
out
a
major
motion
picture
until
Kill
Bill.
Kill
Bill
turned
into
an
epic,
and
manifested
director
Tarantino
as
the
truly
great
filmmaker,
opening
the
eyes
of
millions
among
the
younger
generations
to
lost
classics,
foreign
cult
cinema
and
the
wild
world
of
exploitation
film.
Then
in
2007,
he
made
Grindhouse
together
with
his
long
time
friend
Robert
Rodriguez.
The
movie
was
well?received
among
critics,
but
was
a
financial
disaster.
Tarantino
has
talked
about
a
war
movie
for
many
years,
but
not
until
2008
did
any
of
those
rumors
come
together,
when
he
announced
that
he
had
in
fact
finally
finished
a
script
for
Inglourious
Basterds,
a
massive
war
epic.
The
movie
went
into
production
that
same
year,
starring
Brad
Pitt
in
the
leading
role.
It
was
a
huge
international
success
and
gathered
quite
a
few
awards.
In
2011,
Tarantino
announced
the
completion
of
his
latest
script,
a
movie
about
slavery
in
the
old
US
south
of
the
1860s,
titled
Django
Unchained.
The
movie
has
attracted
enormous
attention,
especially
because
it
stars
Jamie
Foxx,
Leonardo
DiCaprio,
Samuel
L
Jackson
and
Christoph
Waltz,
who
won
an
Oscar
for
his
role
in
Inglourious
Basterds,
and
whose
acting
talents
have
been
truly
recognized.
And
2015
marked
the
release
of
his
8th
film,
appropriately
titled
The
Hateful
Eight,
a
post
Civil
War
era
Western
mystery
and
thriller.
At
the
age
of
54,
Quentin
Tarantino
has
recently
gone
on
record
saying
he
will
retire
some
time
soon,
but
all
of
the
movie
fans
definitely
hope
the
speak
of
film
making
stays
strong
in
his
heart
of
a
long
time
still.
Because
in
a
world
densely
crowded
with
average
film
makers
QT
seems
to
be
one
of
the
few
who
never
play
it
safe.
这是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了著名电影制作人Quentin
Tarantino电影创作的经历和他的作品。
24．The
underlined
phrase
“enfant
terrible”
in
Paragraph
2
means
________.
A．rude
and
unpleasant
B．ordinary
but
arrogant
C．smart
but
unconventional
D．boring
and
traditional
解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“turned
Hollywood
upside
down”可知，昆汀颠覆了好莱坞，由此推之，他的所作所为应该和好莱坞的一些传统观念或做法是背道而驰的。根据“Pulp
Fiction
counts
as
a
completely
original
masterpiece,
which
sometimes
even
to
his
most
loyal
fans
he
has
not
matched
again.”可知，Pulp
Fiction是昆汀创作的完全原创作品，在他的一些粉丝看来，其无可匹敌。结合这两点来看，结合选项，昆汀是一个在艺术创作上非常“灵活且不拘泥于传统”的人。故选C。
答案：C
25．According

film
Grindhouse
made
in
2007
gained

come
together,
when
he
announced
that
he
had
in

The

(2008年见证了《无耻混蛋》的诞生)符合题意。故选D。
答案：D
26．We
can
infer
from
the
paragraph
4
that
________.
A．Tarantino
finished
his
shooting
of
Django
Unchained
in
2011
B．Christoph
Waltz

cast
helped
Django
Unchained
gain
wide
publicity
D．the
story
of
The
Hateful
Eight
was
set
during
the
Civil
War
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In

答案：B
27．What

解析：推理判断题。文章介绍了昆汀在电影制作方面的成就，凸显了其特色。由作者对这些伟大作品的介绍推知，作者对昆汀的态度是“赞成的”。故选D。
答案：D
C
Starting
from
October
1,2015,
a
new
policy
adopted
by
the
three
giant
cellphone
operators—China
Mobile,
China
Telecom
and
China
Unicom—has
allowed
unused
data
from
individual
data
packages
to
be
carried
over
to
the
next
month
for
use.
At
the
beginning,
users
of
the
three
telecommunication
companies
welcomed
this
policy,
since
they
would
have
more
free
data
to
use
in
the
next
month.
However,
even
before
Chinese
users
could
enjoy
the
free
extra
package,
the
users
found
that
since
the
adoption
of
the
policy,
the
original
data
limits
seem
to
be
far
more
easily
swallowed
up,
which
means
there
wouldn't
be
any
unused
data
left
for
the
next
month.
One
user
of
China
Unicom
claimed
that
it
took
him
only
nine
days
to
use
up
the
data
package
of
a
month.
Telecoms
have
become
a
necessity
in
modern
life
like
water
or
power,
and
raising
or
lowering
costs
significantly
affects
people's
lives
and
finances.
But
disagreements
between
consumers
and
service
providers
cover
discussion.
It
is
too
early
to
judge
how
long
the
disagreement
between
telecommunication
companies
and
consumers
over
data
packages
will
last,
since,
according
to
media
reports,
the
measurement
of
data
usage
is
difficult
to
track.
Companies
are
using
“user
privacy”
to
avoid
giving
out
any
information.
But
reading
through
the
companies
posted
online
by
cellphone
users,
we
can
sense
the
public's
distrust
of
state?owned
enterprises
(SOEs).
A
survey
done
by
the
people's
Tribune
Research
Center
in
2012
found
that
the
public's
negative
impression
of
SOEs
came
from
the
belief
that
they
only
rely
on
government
support
and
their
employees
usually
do
easy
jobs
but
get
higher
pay,
yet
their
sense
of
service
is
far
behind
private
and
foreign
enterprises.
The
current
argument
over
the
data
package
of
three
state?owned
telecommunication
giants
reflects
the
extent
of
public
anger.
Among
the
country's
anti?corruption
campaign
(反腐败运动)
and
reforms,
it
shows
the
public's
enthusiasm
for
deepening
reforms
and
making
SOEs
benefit
domestic
consumers.
本文是一篇新闻报道。中国三大手机运营商——中国移动、中国电信和中国联通采取了一项新政策——允许个人数据包中未使用的数据结转到下个月使用。目前围绕三大国有电信巨头数据包的争论反映了公众的愤怒程度。在中国的反腐运动和改革中，它显示了公众对深化改革、让国有企业惠及国内消费者的热情。

attitude
of

towards
the

of
the

can
be
best

答案：A
D
On
the
morning
of
19
April,
1966,
a
hooded
figure
was
hiding
in
the
bushes
near
the
start
line
of
the
Boston
Marathon.
When
the
gun
went
off
to
start
the
race,
the
mysterious
person
allowed
the
faster
competitors
to
pass
before
joining
the
main
group
of
runners.
It
wasn't
long
before
the
others
noticed
that
their
new
companion
was
a
woman.
The
infiltrator(渗入者)
was
23?year?old
graduate
Roberta
“Bobbi”
Gibb,
an
experienced
runner
who
had
had
her
application
to
run
denied
on
the
grounds
that
the
Boston
Marathon
was
a
Men's
Division
race
only.
Her
rejection
letter
categorically
stated:
Women
aren't
allowed
and
furthermore
are
not
physiologically
able.
Having
run
up
to
30
miles
a
day
nearly
every
day
for
the
two
years
leading
up
to
the
race,
Gibb
knew
that
this
was
not
true.
She
decided
it
was
time
attitudes
towards
women
changed,
and
bought
a
bus
ticket
to
Boston.
Contrary
to
her
father's
fears
that
she
would
get
hurt
in
the
race,
Gibb's
male
counterparts
showed
her
nothing
but
kindness.
Once
reporters
got
wind
of
her
participation,
the
radio
began
broadcasting
news
of
her
progress.
Encouraged
by
adrenalin
and
the
delighted
spectators,
Gibb
was
heading
for
an
under
three?hour
time
for
the
best
part
of
the
course,
but
then
she
began
running
out
of
steam.
Starved
of
food
and
water,
her
legs
began
to
falter,
and
her
feet
became
almost
too
painful
to
run
on.
If
she
hadn't
known
that
dropping
out
would
have
set
women's
running
back
20
or
30
years,
she
may
not
have
completed
the
course.
However,
the
cheering
crowds
on
the
last
leg
of
the
course
succeeded
in
lifting
her
spirits,
and
she
sprinted
to
the
finish
in
a
very
respectable
time
of
just
under
three
hours
and
22
minutes.
On
finishing
the
race,
Gibb
was
treated
as
a
hero:
she
was
met
by
the
governor
of
Massachusetts;
her
parents
were
interviewed;
newspapers
ran
articles
on
her
and
she
was
invited
to
a
TV
game
show.
More
importantly
for
her,
she
had
broken
the
stereotype
that
women
didn't
run
marathons.
She
began
getting
calls
from
inspired
women
who
had
taken
up
running
themselves,
and
in
1967
a
second
female
runner
competed
in
the
Boston
Marathon
alongside
Gibb.
The
following
year
there
were
five
female
entrants,
and
by
1972,
the
rules
had
been
changed
to
allow
women
to
compete
in
all
US
marathons.
However,
by
then,
if
you
had
asked
anyone
who
was
the
first
woman
to
run
the
Boston
Marathon,
they
would
have
given
you
a
completely
different
name:
Kathy
Switzer.
Twenty?year?old
journalist
Kathrine
Switzer
shot
to
fame
after
competing
against
Gibb
in
the
1967
Boston
Marathon.
On
discovering
Switzer
had
entered
the
race
by
pretending
to
be
a
man,
race
director
Jock
Semple
tried
to
physically
remove
her,
and
it
was
this
image
of
Switzer
being
attacked
while
running
that
stuck
in
people's
minds.
Switzer
continued
running,
finishing
second
in
the
1975
Boston
Marathon.
Moreover,
she
became
a
successful
media
personality.
It
took
Gibb
decade
of
writing
letters
to
magazines,
TV
stations
and
book
publishers
to
set
the
record
straight.
But
in
the
end,
she
succeeded
in
gaining
her
due
recognition
and
was
retroactively
awarded
first?place
medals
for
her
1966,
1967
and
1968
races.
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了第一位参加马拉松的女性吉布的故事。
32．The
woman
is
hiding
in
the
bushes
__________.
A．to
cheer
on
the
best
participants
B．so
as
not
to
be
seen
at
the
starting
line
C．in
order
to
watch
the
race
unfold
D．so
that
she
has
a
better
view
of
the
field
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When
the
gun
went
off
to
start
the
race,
the
mysterious
person
allowed
the
faster
competitors
to
pass
before
joining
the
main
group
of
runners.
It
wasn't
long
before
the
others
noticed
that
their
new
companion
was
a
woman.”可知，当枪声响起开始赛跑时，她让跑得快的人先过了，然后加入了主要的赛跑队伍，没过多久，其他人就注意到“他”是个女人，再根据第二段中的“an
experienced
runner
who
had
had
her
application
to
run
denied
on
the
grounds
that
the
Boston
Marathon
was
a
Men's
Division
race
only.
Her
rejection
letter
categorically
stated:
Women
aren't
allowed
and
furthermore
are
not
physiologically
able.
”可知，她曾因为波士顿马拉松比赛只是男人们的比赛而被拒绝参加比赛，她的拒绝信明确说明女性是不允许参加马拉松的，由此可知，她藏在灌木丛里是为了在起跑线上不被发现自己是个女人，故B项正确。
答案：B
33．What
ultimately
drove
Gibb
to
finish
the
race?
A．She
didn't
want
her
plan
to
backfire(发生意外).
B．She
wanted
her
parents
to
be
proud
of
her.
C．She
wasn't
willing
to
disappoint
the
crowd.
D．She
couldn't
take
the
shame
of
failure.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She
decided
it
was
time
attitudes
towards
women
changed,
and
bought
a
bus
ticket
to
Boston.”可知，她去参加马拉松是想改变人们的态度——女性不能参加马拉松比赛，再根据第三段中的“If
she
hadn't
known
that
dropping
out
would
have
set
women's
running
back
20
or
30
years,
she
may
not
have
completed
the
course.”可知，如果她不知道跑不完比赛会让女性长跑退回到二三十年前，她就不会跑完最后一段距离，由此可知，她不想让自己的计划(改变人们对女性参加马拉松的态度)适得其反激励她完成了比赛，故A项正确。
答案：A
34．What
does
the
writer
mean
when
he
describes
Gibb's
running
time
as
“respectable”？
A．He
thinks
she
could
have
done
better.
B．He
considers
it
a
standard
to
aim
at.
C．He
regards
it
as
a
good
time.
D．He
can't
believe
she
ran
so
well.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“the
cheering
crowds
on
the
last
leg
of
the
course
succeeded
in
lifting
her
spirits,
and
she
sprinted
to
the
finish
in
a
very
respectable
time
of
just
under
three
hours
and
22
minutes.”可知，在比赛的最后一段，欢呼的人群成功地振奋了她的精神，她以不到3小时22分钟的体面时间冲到了终点，由此可知，作者把吉布的赛跑时间描述为“体面的”意思是他认为这是一个好的比赛用时(一个不错的成绩)，故C项正确。
答案：C
35．What
does
the
reader
discover
about
Gibb
in
the
fourth
paragraph?
A．Her
reputation
grew
as
the
years
went
by.
B．She
was
corrupted
by
fame.
C．She
became
a
household
name.
D．Her
glory
was
short?lived.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段内容，特别是根据“On
finishing
the
race,
Gibb
was
treated
as
a
hero....”及“and
by
1972...However,
by
then,
if
you
had
asked
anyone
who
was
the
first
woman
to
run
the
Boston
Marathon,
they
would
have
given
you
a
completely
different
name:
Kathy
Switzer.”可知，在1966年，比赛结束后的那段时间里，吉布被视为英雄，收到了很多荣誉，可是没过几年，1972年的时候，她的名字就被另一位女性取代了，由此可知，吉布的荣耀很短暂，故D项正确。
答案：D

How
to
overcome
shyness?
Have
you
ever
found
it
embarrassing
to
talk
in
front
of
the
public?
In
fact,
a
great
number
of
people
are
struggling
with
shyness.
__36__
●
Act
confidently.
Confidence
comes
through
action,
learning,
practice,
and
mastery.
Remember
when
you
learned
how
to
ride
a
bike?
It
was
terrifying
at
first,
but
after
you
just
went
for
it
and
tried
it,
you
got
it,
and
felt
confident.
Social
confidence
works
the
same
way.
__37__
Remove
avoidance
and
you
will
overcome
your
anxiety.
●
Engage
yourself.
This
means
participating
in
small
talk
in
the
checkout
line
and
talking
to
strangers
at
bars,
stores,
sporting
events,
and
the
gym.
Additionally,
approach
the
individuals
by
whom
you
are
attracted
romantically.
Talk
to
them.
Ask
them
to
dance.
Ask
them
out
on
dates.
Life
is
short.
Who
cares
if
you
get
rejected?
There
are
seven
billion
people
on
this
planet.
You're
not

them.

Pick
up
a
new
project
or
learn
a
new
skill.
Do
something
to
get
out
of
your
comfort
zone.
Part
of
overcoming
shyness
is
about
developing
confidence
in
several
areas
of
your
life
and
not
letting
anxiety,
fear
of
failure,
fear
of
rejection,
or
fear
of
humiliation
get
in
your
way.
By
practicing
new
activities,
you
are
confronting
your
fear
of
the
unknown
and
learning
to
handle
that
anxiety
more
effectively.
●
Talk
it
out.
__40__
Be
more
talkative
and
expressive
in
all
areas
of
your
life.

本文是一篇说明文。你是否曾经觉得在公众面前讲话很难为情？文章介绍了“如何克服害羞”的方法。
36．D 解析：上文提示“事实上，很多人都在与害羞做斗争。”承接上文，D项Fortunately,
there
are
some
effective

第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
The
Last
Robot?Proof
Job
in
America?
You
can
get
most
food,
such
as
warm
cookies
or
vodka,
to
your
doorstep
in
minutes.
But
try
getting
a
red
snapper
(红鲷鱼).
Until
recently,
if
you
could
obtain
it,
it
would
likely
have
been
pre?frozen
and
shipped
in
from
overseas.
A
new
tech
startup
is
aiming
to
__41__
this
situation.
Based
inside
the
Fulton
Fish
Market,
a
seafood
wholesale
market,
the
startup,
called
FultonFishMarket.com,
allows
customers
across
the
whole
country,
both
restaurants
and
individuals,
to
buy
from
the
market.
The
fish
is
shipped
__42__，
rather
than
frozen,
thanks
to
an
Amazon
advanced
logistics
system.
Mike
Spindler,
the
company's
CEO,
said
recently,
“I
can
get
a
fish
to
Warren
Buffett,
which
is
as
fresh
as
if
he'd
walked
down
to
the
pier
(码头)
and
bought
it
that
morning.”
There
is
one
thing,
__43__，
that
the
sophisticated
logistics
system
cannot
do:
pick
out
a
fish.
If
Warren
Buffett
orders
a
red
snapper,
the
company
needs
to__44__
that
his
fish
is
actually
red
snapper,
and
not
some
other.
According
to
the
ocean?conservation
organization,
more
than
20%
of
the
seafood
in
restaurants
and
grocery
stores
in
America
is
__45__.
For
this
task,
the
company
has
employed
Robert
DiGregorio,
a
forty?seven?year
veteran
of
the
business,
who
possesses
a
blend
of
judgement
and
__46__
knowledge
that,
so
far,
computers
have
yet
to
replicate.
“__47__
the
food?safety
stuff,
our
business
could
be
any
market
from
the
last
three
thousand
years
of
human
history，”
Spindler
told
me.
He
is
experienced
in
the
__48__
business.
When
he
arrived
at
the
fish
market
in
2014,
people
were
cautious.
“They
thought
selling
fish
on
the
Internet
was
__49__.”
DiGregorio
said,
speaking
for
the
fishmongers(鱼贩).
“They
didn't
see
how
it
could
possibly
work.”
Five
years
ago,
DeGregorio
didn't
know
how
to
use
a
computer,
but
when
the
Web
site
people
arrived
at
the
market,
he
sensed
an
opportunity.
Together,
they've
created
a
human?machine
fish?buying
operation.
By
1
am
each
night,
the
company
collects
__50__
from
around
the
country
and
sends
them
to
DiGregorio.
He
heads
into
the
market,
carrying
his
tablet
computer.
The
company's
algorithms(算法)
__51__
data
on
their
sources
and
can
tell
DiGregorio,
for
example,
which
stall
to
go
to
get
the
best
tuna
(金枪鱼).
The
computer
is
a
“learning
system”，
so
if
DiGregorio
makes
a
choice
it
didn't
__52__，
it
asks,
“Was
the
fish
not
available?
Was
it
damaged？”
All
that
information
is
fed
back
in
for
next
time.
Then,
what
can
a
fishmonger
see
that
a
computer
can't?
DeGregorio
showed
me
his
part
of
the
__53__
process.
“I'm
assessing
a
few
things，”
he
said.
First,
__54__.
Fish
should
have
“nice”
slime(粘液).
Then,
smell.
He
sniffed
the
air
above
the
box.
“When
fish
goes
bad,
it
smells
like
ammonia.”
Besides,
to
get
the
best
stuff,
“Fishmongers
have
to
have
a
relationship
with
you.
To
trust
you.”
He
added.
Is
he
ever
__55__
being
replaced
by
the
learning
system
of
computers?
DiGregorio
shrugged.
“By
the
time
they
invent
a
computer
that
can
do
what
I
can
do，”
he
said,
“I'll
be
dead.”

__56__
hard
to
start
a

Here
are
some
__57__
(tip)
that

how
to
get
started.

这是一篇说明文。文章作者对于如何和外国人开始谈话，给出了一些建议和技巧。
56．it
解析：考查形式宾语。不定式to
start
a
conversation是句子真正的宾语，该空需要填一个形式宾语，所以填it。
57．tips
解析：考查名词单复数。句意：这里有一些技巧可以教你如何开始。前面有some修饰，tip为可数名词，故用名词复数，所以填tips。
58．doing
解析：考查固定用法。句意：如果他盯着窗外或继续做他正在做的事情，这表明他不愿意继续谈话。keep
on
doing继续做某事，该用法是固定用法，所以填doing。
59．in
解析：考查固定用法。句意：如果他停下手中的工作，回头看你或对你微笑，表明他有兴趣和你交谈。be
interested
in对……感兴趣，该用法是固定用法，所以填in。
60．which
解析：考查非限制性定语从句。__60__interest
both
of
you是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是subjects
of
a
casual(轻松的)nature，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，所以填which。
61．personal
解析：考查形容词。该空修饰名词matters，用形容词，所以填personal。
62．to_keep
解析：考查不定式。句意：为了让谈话继续下去，提开放式的问题。作目的状语，用不定式，所以填to
keep。
63．says
解析：考查主谓一致。what
the
other
person
__63__是一个宾语从句，根据上下文可知，应用一般现在时，主语the
other
person是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数，所以填says。
64．carefully
解析：考查副词。该空修饰动词listen，用副词，所以填carefully。
65．and
解析：考查连词。句意：遵循这些建议，你与外国人用英语交谈会有很多乐趣。文中表示并列关系，所以填and。

It
was
a
Saturday
afternoon.
The
color
of
the
sky
was
changing,
first
light
gray,
then
dark
gray,
and
finally
dark
and
dense.
The
wind
was
blowing
heavily,
and
the
trees
were
swaying
in
the
strong
wind.It
began
to
rain
cats
and
dogs.
Soon,
the
road
was
filled
with
puddles
from
the
rain.
On
such
a
stormy
afternoon,
my
mother
took
my
five?year?old
brother,
Christopher,
and
me
to
a
new
big
toy
store
she
had
read
about
in
the
newspaper.
“So
many
toys，”
the
advertisement
had
shouted
in
full
and
flashy
color,
“that
we
had
to
get
a
huge
warehouse
to
fit
them
all！”
Christopher
and
I
couldn't
have
been
more
excited.We
ran
across
the
parking
lot,
through
the
cold
and
biting
rain,
as
fast
as
our
little
legs
could
carry
us.
We
left
our
mother
outside
to
battle
with
the
frustrating
umbrella,
which
never
worked
when
she
wanted
it
to.
“Christine!
Take
care
of
your
young
brother！”
Mother
shouted
at
the
top
of
her
voice.
“Christine!
I'm
going
to
find
the
Lego
section
(乐高积木区)!
There's
a
new
pirate
ship
I
want,
and
I
have
four
dollars!
Maybe
I
can
buy
it！”
Christopher
exclaimed
and
ran
off
excitedly.
I
only
half
heard
him.
I
took
a
right
turn
and,
to
my
wide?eyed
delight,
found
myself
in
the
midst
of
the
Barbie
(芭比)
World.
I
was
studying
a
Barbie
and
doing
some
simple
math
in
my
head
when
suddenly
an
earthshaking
clap
of
thunder
roared
from
the
storm
outside.
I
jumped
at
the
noise,
dropping
the
doll
to
the
floor.
The
lights
flickered
(闪烁)
once
and
died,
covering
everything
in
a
blanket
of
blackness.
Thunder
continued
to
shake
the
sky
and
lightning
illuminated
the
store
for
seconds,
casting
frightening
shadows
on
my
mind.
Paragraph
1：
“Oh
no，”
I
thought,
“Where's
Christopher？”
Scared,_I_was_frozen_to_the_spot,_overcome_with_the_need_to_see_my_brother,_to_hug_and_make_certain_he_was_all_right._My_stomach_twisted_and_turned_inside._I_ran_up_and_down_the_aisles_through_the_darkness,_panic_filling_my_small_chest_and_making_it_difficult_to_breathe._I_knocked_into_displays_of_candy_and_tripped_over_toys,_all_the_while_frantically_calling_my_brother's_name._Anxious_as_I_was,_I_could_barely_see_his_figure._Tears_of_frustration_and_fear_trickled_down_my_face,_but_I_continued_to_run.
Paragraph
2：
“Christine,
I'm
here.”
Excitement_took_my_breath_away—there_in_the_dark_Lego_aisle_I_found_Christopher._He_was_standing_alone,_perfectly_still,_clutching_tightly_to_the_pirate_ship_set._I_began_to_cry_out_from_relief,_throwing_my_arms_around_him_and_hugged_him_tightly._He_hugged_me_back,_saying，“I_knew_if_I_waited_here,_Christine,_you_would_be_able_to_find_me.”_Then,_I_took_his_hand_in_mine_and_we_went_to_find_our_mother,_who_must_be_desperately_searching_the_store_for_us.
