阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

Thirteen hours later, we just arrived in Paris after many dramas（戏剧性事件）.

I rented a car, filled it up and moved ahead to Bristol airport that morning. We set off at 8:00 am. and all was going well until we got to the turn for Bristol airport. The airport sign（指示牌）suggested we went out from the M5, but Suri asked me to continue going straight ahead, so against my better judgement, I let the airport turn pass us by.

We had a plane to Paris to catch in a couple of hours. It was about then that I realized we were heading for Wales on a six-road highway. I felt very bad. We turned off the highway and turned into a country road, as directed by Suri and there was a sign saying that the road to the airport was closed. I saw a lady watering her garden and asked her about the best way to the airport, but she couldn’t help us with the right direction.

I was so worried as we really were out in the country without any guidance. All I could think of was to turn Suri off and follow the signs myself.

Then finally after many butterflies in the stomach and feeling like my heart was going to burst（爆裂） out of my chest, there was a proper green sign to the airport and we followed it with so much joy.

Driving from the airport into Paris was a shock. Lots of homeless people were sleeping under the highways with rubbish everywhere.

Anyway we are now in Paris. The experience of getting lost is now almost laughable. In another 24 hours will be my 50th birthday. I have a big party planned for myself in Paris.

21. When did the author most probably arrive in Paris?

A. At about 9:00 p.m.

B. At about 8:00 a.m.

C. At about 13:00 p.m.

D. At about 9:30 a.m.

22. What probably leads to the wrong direction and so many problems?

A. The author’s bad driving.

B. The author’s impatience.

C. Suri’s wrong guidance.

D. The wrong sign.

23. The underlined part “many butterflies in the stomach” in paragraph 5 probably

means________.

A. being nervous and worried

B. being excited and relaxed

C. being hungry and thirsty

D. being tired and sleepy

24. Which of the following is the correct order of the following events?

① We arrived in Paris. ② We followed the proper green sign. ③ We rented a car.

④ We got to the turn. ⑤ We drove in the countryside.

A.①③④⑤②

B.③④⑤②①

C. ①③⑤④②

D. ③④②⑤①

Last July, we asked what you dream of doing as an adult. Thanks for your great responses! We wish we had room to print them all. Here are just a few.

Work and play

My dream job is being a construction worker, but only on an amusement park.

－James Martian, Age 9 Alaska Royal Fashion Designer

My dream job is to sew dresses for a queen. I could make whatever design I wanted. Her breakfast dress would be blue and long. Her lunch dress is purple and medium. Her dinner dress is red and short. They would all have sparkles. I think they would be pretty. I like my dream job.

－Jenna Suchyta, Age 6 Washington

A “Police Law Fireman”

When I grow up, I want to be a policeman or a fireman or a lawyer because they help people. Maybe I will combine all three and become a “Police Law Fireman”. I can work as a policeman in the morning. I can do law things in the afternoon. I can

do fireman things in the evening. But for now, I want to be a boxer to build up my muscles. I will need my strength!

－Avi Samuels, Age 7 Illinois Playing in the Band

My dream job is to become a professional guitarist and singer for my future five-member rock band. I practice the guitar, and I have written hundreds of songs! The reason why I want to be a guitarist and singer is that I am very interested in music itself, so I want to create some of my own.

“I love you” might be one of the most important combinations in the English language. It’s the signal that a romantic relationship is serious, an indication of closeness for a sibling(兄弟姐妹), parent, or child. But the way it’s used in China might be a little different.

The Global Times reports that two online videos showing children telling their parents “ I love you” have gone viral(火了起来) in China. The first shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them. The responses are mixed. “Are you drunk?” asked one parent. In another similar video, a father responded even less politely---“I am going to a meeting, so cut the crap.”

Even the positive reactions make it clear that the words are expressed rarely: “I am so happy you called to say that, it is the happiest thing that happened to me,” one parent answered.

This isn’t the first time that China has done some soul-searching about familial love---last year China Daily asked a cross-section (抽样) of people if they said “I love you” to their parents, spouses(爱人), and children. “I have never said ‘I love you’ to my family, and I don’t think I will in the future,” one 56-year-old told the paper. “Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me.”

Still, that doesn’t mean that love can’t be expressed. In a separate article, China Daily spoke to Zhao Mengmeng, a 31-year-old woman who said she had never told her father she loved him face to face. She said, “I find it a bit odd,” Mrs. Zhao gave her father a photo album featuring photographs of them together on almost every one of her birthdays. The pictures went viral(广为传播的) online, being forwarded hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo.

“I didn’t sleep the night I heard about it,” her father told China Daily after the story attracted mainstream attention. “I have now memorized some of the comments on the collection of pictures.”

28. What did the father want to express by saying the underlined words?

A. Just shut up!

B. Make a long story short!

C. Go out!

D. Forget about it!

29. What can we learn from the two online videos?

A. Many Chinese parents respond strangely to the three words.

B. Chinese children hate saying the three words to their parents.

C. The three words become more and more popular in China.

D. Chinese people are rather slow in understanding others.

30. What does the example of Zhao Mengmeng shows?

A. Microblog is the best way to express oneself.

B. It is a fashion to express love on microblog.

C. It is hard to express love in public.

D. Love can be expressed in other ways.

31. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Chinese people refuse to express their love to others.

B. The words “I love you” are rarely used in China.

C. Chinese people use different ways to express their love.

D. The words “I love you” result in misunderstanding in China.

Heavy rain continues to attack South Carolina after a powerful storm flooded much of the state over the weekend. Emergency workers are going door-to-door to search for anyone who may still be trapped in their homes. At least seven deaths have been blamed on the storm so far.

The storm poured more than 20 inches of rain on one area of Columbia, South Carolina’s capital. Many cars ended up completely under water on flooded streets. Even weather experts said they were surprised by the amount of rain the storm poured on the state. On Sunday, Governor Nikki Haley said the storm is the kind seen only once in a thousand years.

Earlier in the week, weather experts had predicted Hurricane Joaquin to attack the East Coast, but the hurricane turned away in the Atlantic Ocean. Despite the shift, experts say tropical moisture（水分）from the hurricane helped boost the power of the rainstorm in the Carolinas and several other neighboring states.

According to the National Weather Service, Sunday was the wettest day in the history of Columbia. The rain fall total at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport was 6.87 inches, the highest one-day level ever recorded there.

The flooding caused water main(总水管) breaks that have threatened the drinking water supply for South Carolina’s capital city. Columbia officials told all 375,000 of its water customers to boil water before drinking it. Worse still, many roads and bridges across the state were washed out or under water.

One of the hardest hit areas in Columbia was near Gills Greek, where a weather station recorded over 20 inches of rain over the weekend. Rescue crews used boats to save the family of Jeff Whalen, whose house backed up on the stream.

Columbia residents have also been helping one another. Rawlings LaMotte, 38, said he and a friend got into a small motorboat and transported several people to safety.

32. Governor Nikki Haley said the storm is the kind seen only once in a thousand years

because__________.

A. it was so serious

B. it came so suddenly

C. it killed many emergency workers

D. it failed to be predicted

33. The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “___________”.

A. reduce

B. control

C. cause

D. increase

34. What damage was caused to South Carolina?

A. Hundreds of the people were killed in the storm.

B. Drinking water supply was cut off.

C. Government had no power to rescue the residents.

D. Many roads and bridges were destroyed.

35. The best title for the passage would be ___________.

A. People losing their homes

B. Hurricane Striking the United States

C. Flooding in South Carolina

D. Rescue Operations in a Storm

On holidays you’re likely to eat and overeat between family gatherings, office parties and celebrating with friends. 36 Here are some tips to help you enjoy holiday food without completely changing your diet:

1. Switch to small plates.

Not only do smaller dishes fill up faster, but the same size helping looks like more food when it’s on a small dish. 37 But whatever the size of your plate, it’s most important to remember to keep it balanced: half for vegetables, a quarter for grains and a quarter for lean meat.

2. Measure out snacks

Your favorite holiday movie is on. Take a minute to check the nutrition label(标签) and measure out a serving to keep calories in check. Take one popular brand of buttered microwave popcorn for example. 38 But the bag contains 2.5 servings. Eat the whole thing on your own, and you’ll have eaten 425 calories.

3. Split an entree(主菜).

Many restaurants serve far more food than one person needs in a single meal. 39 Or pack half your entree to go as soon as it’s served. Or choose a small-size option,

if available.

4. Stop eating when you feel satisfied.

You don’t have to feel too full, or force yourself to clean your plate, before putting down your fork. 40 When you’re satisfied, save the rest for leftovers.

A. Share a main dish with a friend.

B. It’s important for you to eat more on holidays.

C. Eat slowly and pay attention to feelings of hunger.

D. Studies show we tend to put on a few pounds this time of year.

E. Enjoy an entree slowly by yourself.

F. So you’ll be likely to serve yourself less.

G. One serving is about 170 calories.
