The island was ruled by a beautiful woman called Tondalaya, the Fire Goddess of the Volcano. It was a low-budget(小成本) movie, but to me, it represented the perfect life. But through the years, Tondalaya was forgotten.The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything Id owned was sold to pay debts that I didnt even know existed. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce (离婚) in the family. Id lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange lava (火山岩) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination!The next day, I quit my job, bought some art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadnt painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas (画布) in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $1,500.The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim (火山口边缘) of the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years is now reality. Im living freely and happily ever after.21.Why did the writer go to Hawaii?A. To realize her childhood dream. B. To free herself from trouble.C. To spend her holiday.D. To make a living.22.Which of the following is the writers dream?A. Living in nature with animals.B. Becoming a successful painter.C. Getting close to wildlife.D.

Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic boom（繁荣）, and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didnt pay well, and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango(探戈舞)came into being.At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time there were many fewer women than men, so if a man didnt want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually, the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞)to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe, they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes. Though not everyone approved of the new dance, saying it was a little too shocking, the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America. It reached Japan in 1926, and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy（大使馆） in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador, and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.24.The origin of the tango is associated with.A. the capital of ArgentinaB. a Spanish city C. American soldiers D. belly dancers25.Which of the following is true about the tango?A. A dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.B. People of the upper classes loved the tango most.C. It was often danced by two males in the beginning.D. It was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy.26.Before World War I, the tango spread to.A. South KoreaB. JapanC. FranceD. America 27.What can be the best title for the text?A. The Modern Tango BoomB. The History of the TangoC. How to Promote the TangoD. How to Dance the TangoCIn the English language there are striking similarities to many of the characteristics present in Spanish, French, and German. So what are the things that make English so difficult for foreign people to learn?English doesnt necessarily have more regular consonant(辅音)or vowel(元音)sounds than other languages, but how the stress is placed on some of those consonants or vowels makes it such a difficult language for learners. There are hard and soft consonants like “c” taking on a “k” sound or an “s” sound depending upon the situation. There are silent letters in some words and then some consonants that take on an entirely different sound ( like “th” ) when combined. The changes in the pronunciation of words make English much more difficult to learn.Another thing that makes English difficult to learn has to do with verb tense. Some languages have very limited changes in verb tense, sometimes just present and past, which makes it relatively simple to grasp. English, on the other hand, is a bit more difficult in this area. For example, in different situations it may be proper to use any of the following tenses: present, past, future, past perfect or present perfect. The verb “choose” can be used in the following forms depending on tense: choose, chose or chosen. This can be very difficult for a foreigner to grasp. Slang（俚语） is more widely used in American English than proper grammar. In the US just knowing the language as its generally taught isnt enough. In every single region or even close neighborhoods, the same slang terms make an almost entirely different language. In some areas there are repeatedly used terms that wouldnt even be found in the Websters Dictionary. They are created by locals and only locals understand them. This can make it very difficult for someone not familiar with the language to get used to it, especially if they dont remain in one area for a very long period.28.The purpose of this passage is to.A. tell us how to deal with slang terms in English B. encourage us to speak formal EnglishC. tell us why English is very difficult to learn D. give advice on how to learn English well 29. According to the passage, the letter “c” in English.A. is often silentB. has at least two soundsC. never takes on an “s” soundD. is always stressed30. Compared with other languages, _.A. English has very limited changes in verb tenseB. English has relatively simple verb tense to graspC. English has more forms of verbs according to the tenseD. English has three more verb tenses31. It can be inferred from the passage that.A. pronunciation is the most difficult thing in English learningB. all the slang terms should be added to the Websters DictionaryC. if you want to learn English well you first should learn some slang termsD. people may understand the local language after living in a place for yearsDEver wonder how much a cloud weighs? What about a hurricane? A meteorologist（气象学家） has done some estimates and the results might surprise you.Lets start with a very simple white puffy clouda cumulus cloud(积云). How much does the water in a cumulus cloud weigh? Peggy LeMone, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, did the numbers. “The water in the little cloud weighs about 550 tons,” she calculates. “Or if you want to convert it to something that might be a little more meaningful.think of elephants.” Assume（假设） an elephant weighs about six tons, she says, that would mean the water inside a typical cumulus cloud would weigh about one hundred elephants.The thought of a hundred elephants worth of water floating in the sky begs another questionwhat keeps it up there?“First of all, the water isnt in elephant-sized particles(微粒); its in tiny tiny tiny particles,” explains LeMone. And those particles float on the warmer air thats rising below. But still, the concept of so much water floating in the sky was surprising even to a meteorologist like LeMone. “I had no idea how much a cloud would weigh, actually, when I started the calculations（计算）,” she says.So how many elephant units of water are inside a big storm cloud10 times bigger all the way around than the “puffy” cumulus cloud? Again, LeMone did the numbers: About 200,000 elephants.Now, come to the calculations for a hurricane about the size of Missouri and the figures get really massive. “What were doing is weighing the water in one cubic meter theoretically pulled from a cloud and then multiplying by the number of meters in a whole hurricane,” she explains.The result? Forty million elephants. That means the water in one hurricane weighs more than all the elephants on the planet. Perhaps even more than all the elephants that have ever lived on the planet.32.The weight ofis NOT mentioned in the passage.A. a cumulus cloudB. a storm cloudC. a hurricaneD. a tornado 33.How did Peggy LeMone feel about the result of her calculations?A. She found it not convincing. B. She thought it needed further calculations.C. She considered the calculations inaccurate.D. She was quite surprised at it.34.What can be inferred from the passage?A. A storm cloud weights about 200,000 elephants.B. The water in the cloud is in very tiny particles.C. There are less than forty million elephants living on the earth.D. The water in a hurricane weights more than that in any other kind of cloud.35.What is the best title for the passage?A. Surprising ResultsB. Elephants in the SkyC. How Much a Cloud WeighsD. How Much a Hurricane Weighs 第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。（注意：E=AB, F=AC, G=AD。）No matter what type of business you run, it has to deal with things that go wrong from your customers point of view.
