It was a snowy Friday. When I observed the snowflakes falling onto my car, I really began to wonder if I was going to make it on time. Of course I must, because I have no option.
About two weeks ago, what my daughter Ellen had talked about was the Christmas concert to be held in her school and some rumors about it. “Mom, Rachel was supposed to sing alone, but guess what happened? She’s not! Linda will replace her to do it. ”“Mom, I get to stand next toTylerin the whole concert!” “Mom, you won’t believe it, but Lexie’s whole family is coming to the concert, even from another state!” Making a long way out of state to see third graders sing Christmas carols seemed to be a pretty big deal for her.
When I sat in traffic, I thought about all the school events I had attended alone. Ellen never mentioned it, but I wondered how she felt about me being the only one whoever came to her events. My own family lived out of town, and her father and his family never quite managed to fit those things into their schedules. I wondered if it bothered her.
At eight o’clock the concert was scheduled to begin. With only a few minutes to spare, I found myself running: first, through the snow-drifted parking lot, then through the school passage. I entered the crowded hall and found a vacant seat near the front. From her place onstage, Ellen saw me run for the chair, and she smiled. I was close enough to hear the loud conversation of the children onstage.
“Look, Ellen, there is my uncle and my cousin. They came all the way fromWest Virginia. I can’t believe my whole family is here!” Ellen smiled at Lexie and said, “My whole family is here, too! Look, there she is!” Ellen gave me a big smile. I waved back at her, never once noticing the melting snow dripping off my head. It suddenly occurred to me that while we tried to teach our children all about life, they actually taught us what life was all about.
24. What’s the author’s anxiety according to Paragraph 3 ?
A. Ellen’s disappointment without more family members coming.
B. Ellen’s bad performance at the Christmas concert.
C. Her missing the Christmas concert.
D. Her forgetting to tell her family about the Christmas conceit.
25. What can we know from the passage?
A. Ellen didn’t get along well with her family.
B. Ellen’s attitude towards the concert was defensive.
C. Ellen’s classmates fooled her.
D. Ellen’s mother put emphasis on her school events.
26. What can we infer about the author from the last two paragraphs?
A. She came to the concert from another state.
B. She regretted not accompanying her daughter.
C. She was nearly late for the Christmas concert.
D. She failed to understand her daughter’s words.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Understanding Is Everything B. My Whole Family Is Here
C. Speak out Your Love in Time D. Conflict Ends up With a Smile
C
As sea levels climb, evenWashington,D.C.could see more frequent and widespread flooding at high tide.
Strong storms and high winds sometimes bring floods to coastal areas. But cities and towns along the US East Coast are flooding even in calm and sunny weather. Among them isMaryland’s capitalAnnapolis. Tourists there must sometimes walk through water flooding downtown streets surrounding the habor. Sometimes water covers roads inAtlantic City,N.J.Even the yards and basements of coastal homes nearNew York Citysometimes flood.
All are suffering from this trend—normal high tides surpass（超过）a rising sea level.
Sea levels have climbed, on average, about 20 centimeters（8 inches）over the past 135 years. And a sharp increase in tide flooding is one of the more visible impacts affecting many coastal areas, notes William Sweet, an oceanographer.
Sweet and his co-workers recently analyzed data from 45 tide gauges（计量表）along the US coasts. These tools record the changing heights of tides as they rise and fall. From these data, Sweet’s team calculated the number of “troublesome floods” in various coastal cities. These floods, Sweet explains, typically occur when water level is about 30 centimeters （1 foot）above the historic level of the highest tides. In June 2014, the team reported finding a growing rise in these flooding events.
InCharleston, S. C., from 1957 to 1963, the city experienced troublesome floods an average of 4.6 days per year. Bur from 2007 to 2013, the occurring rate of troublesome floods jumped five times.Annapoliscity was even more serious. From 1957 to 1963, troublesome floods were roughly 3.8 days per year. From 2007 to 2013, the average was 10 times higher— 39. 3 days a year.
“Over the next few decades, climate change probably drives sea levels even higher,” Sweet says. “So today’s flooding problems promise to become only more widespread and frequent.”
28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly developed by?
A. Using examples. B. Analyzing causes.
C. Making comparisons. D. Following time order.
29. Why are more flooding problems caused?
A. Because the river levels have been climbing.
B. Because climate has changed over the years.
C. Because the weather conditions are not stable.
D. Because people are living too close to harbors.
30. What can it be inferred according to data in Paragraph 5?
A. There has been a growing rise in these analyzed flooding events.
B. The changes of heights of tides are usually in a small range.
C. The floods in coastal cities often occur when water level is above 1 foot.
D. The number of troublesome floods gradually gets less.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Sweet’s team. B. A flood research.
C TheUSEast Coast. D. American oceanographers.
D
Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few, for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary greatly. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.
Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common—they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more closely involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.
In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.
32. How does the author understand “friends” in this passage?
A. Every student has 6 friends.
B. Everyone understands clearly how to make friends.
C. All the people who get on well with each other are friends.
D. Friends are closer than those just getting on well with each other.
33. What should we avoid when making friends?
A. Good economic condition.
B. Argument and discussion.
C. The same race, hobby and nationality.
D. A marked difference in age and background.
34. What do the underlined words “being on the wavelength” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Having the same background.
B. Using the same frequency while talking.
C. Having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interests.
D. Keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do.
35. How do people strengthen friendly relationship according to the passage?
A. To hold friendship ceremonies.
B. To completely get rid of differences in background.
C. To make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same race.
D. To support and understand each other by sharing experiences and emotions.

Every year in the first week of my English class, some students inform me that writing is too hard. They never write, unless assignments require it. 36 How awful to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it - especially English, with its rich vocabulary. 37 When I meet. students who think they can’t write, I know as a teacher my mission is to show them the rest of the rooms. 38 Also, I need to provide the opportunity in any writing activity to enhance the moral and emotional development of my students. One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.
39 Writing needs to be done daily, just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills improve quickly with writing practice. I often see a rise in student confidence and performance after only a few weeks of journal writing.
40 When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and profession lives. They build skills so that some day they might write a great novel, or the perfect love letter etc. Every day that they write in their journals puts them a step daily to fluency, eloquence （雄辩）, and command of language.
A. I need to build fluency.
B. Writing ability is like strength training.
C. They find the writing process painful and difficult.
D. Only if you have excellent writing skill can you succeed.
E. A teachers task is to help the students build confidence in themselves.
F. Being able to speak but not write is like living in a big house and never leaving one small room.

Dear Mrs. Wilson,
I’m sorry that I was late. I think it’s bad manners, but I didn’t mean to do so. This morning, I got up very early. When I reached the crossing near the bank, I saw a white car running so fast that it knock over an old lady. She was badly injured and in danger. I ran over to help her and at the meantime dialed the hospital. As the witness I described the whole accident to thehe police and told them the plate number of the white car. It waas already 8 o’clock before I realized I would be late. Forgive me and I promise I will never be late again.
Please accept my apology.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
